If I had a Hammer

I would throw it at my neighbor...just kidding. lol

My neighbors are getting a new roof and I'm sure to go insane. It been 5 days now of hammering.

Out with the Black

My old page hurt my eyes. I'm liking this much better. I would much rather design my own but that would A: take time away from work I get paid for and B: more time to figure out how to do it. Oh well, I'll survive for now I guess.

On a side note: Brandon was driving me nuts today with the endless questions and I started mumbling to myself in the car. We were having lunch and he said, "Mom, you made me mad today." Why I asked. "Because you were talking so I couldn't hear you in the car and that was rude. You should never talk without me hearing you.

Missed Birthdays

I also missed blogging about BOTH of kids birthdays while I took my little break. I feel like a loser mom for that.

Back in the Saddle Again

I think I'm going to start to blog again.

My butt is going to be in this office chair for quite some time in the next few months. I had a meeting today with one of my clients and to be honest, I don't know how I'm going to get everything done. I know I'll start to panic soon but I've gotten done before and hopefully I'll be able to do it again and take care of 2 kids. I'm thankful for the work but sometimes when it rains it pours ya know!? I'm lucky that Brandon and Sienna like to play together and most of the time it's without screaming and hitting each other.

Bad Blogger

Yes, I'm a bad Blogger and I know it.

Chocolate for Christmas

To those of you sending us food for the holidays, please mark it "food". We came back tonight from dinner (which wasn't the best experience) to find a package ripped to shreds. Upon further examination I found that it was a Hershey Pot of Gold box with nuts, my favorite. So to further ruin my evening since I didn't enjoy much of my dinner I now will NOT be enjoying any chocolate this Christmas either. My dog can sniff out anything that seems even remotely eatable and eat it. You know how they say chocolate is bad for dogs, not mine. She can eat pounds of it at one time and be fine. I guess it was kind of my fault for putting it under the tree but "Damn-it Sadie!"

Toy Shopping

Brandon was in the toy section of a store yesterday and found a truck he just had to have. "Now Mom, I know my Birthday is coming soon but I really think that I should just take this home with me today and not wait."

Fun in the Snow

A few pictures from our trip back home last week.

"Sadie Damn-it"

Tonight we were all just sitting around the living room, Brandon was playing in the giant pile of an over turned toy-box and and Bill and I were sitting and talking while our dog Sadie was laying next to us. Sienna came over and sat down next to Sadie and started to watch tv. She started petting her quite sweetly and saying "Sadie" in her high pitched cute little voice she uses sometimes. So we had our "Aww, isn't that sweet moment" when she started saying her full name, "Sadie Damn-it". She kept repeating it over and over again. Bill and I just kind of looked at each other like did we hear that right? I feel I may be to blame for this, apparently I say "Sadie, Damn-it!" way more then I should. I'm still sticking to the fact that I think she said "Sadie, stop-it."

BTW: her full name is Sadie Marie, not even close.

Blowing his Horn

Brandon is now the proud semi-owner of my husbands first trumpet. Papa and Grama brought it here on their last visit and his serenades have been everyday since. He's actually pretty good if I must say so myself. He's even helping his little sister to play. My office will never be the same.

Halloween Pictures

Brandon the Dragon

Hayride

The kids and I went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch last week with our playgroup. Fun was had by all!

Sorry for the Messy Blog!

My pictures are gone and I'm sad.

Photobucket "assures me that they are doing everything in their power to remedy the situation" but, I haven't seen anything yet.

So, yes I know the blog is lacking in the visual department. I hope to have it back soon.

BTW, Photobucket "sincerely apologizes for this inconvenience". lol

I'm here, really!

I was talking to my less then web savvy parents tonight. It seems that they decided to check my blog for an update on how we all were since they hadn't heard from me in a few days. I'm very impressed. =;) Love you!

Unfortunately there was no information here on said blog either.

Really, all is well, just very busy. Very busy not doing what I need to do and lots of what doesn't need done. I really have to work on this.

Snakes Alive!

My son has two of these wooden snakes.




I swear, every time I see it I think it's a real one. I think he leaves it just sticking out of the sofa cushion or poking it's little head from under a table on purpose to scare me. I really don't mind sneaks, I just don't want them in my house. So tonight, he's slithered into my dinning room so I could come across it, in the dark and scare me once again. I hate these snakes.

Red Light, Green Light

My new vacuum has a red and green light on it. Red means the carpet that your over is still dirty and the green tells you when it's clean. I never enjoyed vacuuming before and now it's just giving me a complex.

So Ya Had a Bad Day?

Kiss

For the past few days I have caught Sienna kissing random things. Hello wall, kiss, hello book, kiss. I hope this isn't going to be a problem when she gets older.

Christmas Stress *rolling eyes*

I'm starting to stress over Christmas already this year. How sad is that? I promised myself that I was going to take it easy this year and not worry so much about getting EVERYTHING done, but here I am researching gift ideas already.

I was even thinking the other day about having to lug all the decorations down (that have long been covered up by other worthless stuff) and having to decorate. Do you want to know a secret, one of my favorite parts is taking DOWN the decorations and having my house clean and back to normal again. I really do love the holidays, I guess I'm just odd.

Bad job

I've not been doing a very good job at keeping this up this week and I have to promise myself that I'll get better with it. I'm tired tonight and a random thunder and lightening storm just came through. I really need to finish up some work that I have due for tomorrow but I just get sucked into my computer and then *poof* it's 2 hours later and I never even open up my projects.
*Must learn to prioritize.
