SNOWMAGEDDON

OK So I'm behind, AGAIN! Gonna try to post fast about EVERYTHING...

There is just one word to sum up the past week....SNOW! And lots of it! I'm guessing we got 22 inches. We been hit by 2 BIG snow storms so far, one on December 20 and then on this past weekend. And we are getting another one tonight into tomorrow that could being up another 12 to 24 inches of snow. Same storm story, where it's coming from, merging with another storm. Since we had so much snow, I haven't had time to take too m any pictures of Logan playing so I'm sorta happy we are getting another one. But hope it's the last. Kids are running out of school days for weather make up and I'm ready for flip flops!

Good news is, I think we got the house all ready to go. Paid our first new lowered monthly payment. FINALLY!!! Logan got his report card and it was good. His spelling came up, wonder if that has anything to do with him doing the LIPS program again? I think so, one reason I fought for him to have it again.

We paid for our nascar tickets and we are happy to be sitting in the section we like for both races! I so cannot wait for nascar. The Shootout was Saturday night, but we missed it. We had a snow storm and was without cable in net, errr! So I ended up going out to shovel at like 8 pm!

My good friends from high school came up to see me last Thursday and we had SO much fun talking, laughing and just being silly! I've seen Kim but haven't seen Kelly! Forgot how fun it was to be around her! Hope to be able to keep up seeing them both of them. I have so missed my friends at mervo, well the ones I still talk to now. Hopefully if the kids have school this Friday, I'm going to meet her at the Bel Air Target :)



Bill ordered me a new lens for Valentine's Day! And I am soo excited! It's a EF 50mm f/1.8 II with a Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter. It's been shipped already too! Can't wait to try it out! I'm also getting a few other things and since my godfather left, going to turn his room into a studio I think.

Well, I better get off here. I want to try to get all the clothes done before this storm in case we lose power! Really want to clean my floors but I guess I should wait until this weekend!

Obama's help for home owners

OK So we have been trying to get our house payment modified since lat May, yes I said last May. This is the THIRD time. In just the past week, we have faxed twice, and as or a hour ago, scanned and emailed twice. It's getting old. Plus the one lady who calls, she is the account manager is just rude. Without coming out and saying it, she called me stupid and that was just it. I was done. This time they needed bank statements, that were MAILED in. Amazing how they got everything else and lost the statements.

If this was Obama's way of helping the middle class people from losing their houses, he should put someone to over see the banks. Each time it's a run around game, forms change, people change and you need to start all over again. As of now, they have everything, but I been told that three times, just this week. So we should know by Monday.

So I will post sometime this week, as I'm too mad, upset, frustrated and tired...

Cleaning and even more cleaning

With Logan staying home yeturday because of the ear infections, I really didn't get to do what I wanted to. I wanted to start taken down my Christmas stuff and get the spare bedroom together. I can't seem to part with my tree for some reason this year. The only room I can say for now is 100% clean is the kitchen. His room is a MESS! His room is huge, 15 by 20. It's the whole front of the house and the biggest room in the house. And yes, some of it's mine. I do have my computer desk in there for him to use for homeworkd on the PC/laptop. He has basically claimed the flat screen TV so that's in there also. But on his side of the room, all you see is army men, legos, tanks, trucks, and more army stuff such as buildings, etc. I couldn't even walk to make his bed! LOL So today is clean up what I can so tomorrow I can get into his closet to put away his Christmas stuff that is still under the tree.

His got a pretty good deal of stuff this year, but nothing like he would have if I was still working. The things he got the most use out of so far is his lego's and of course his XBox. He spent 3 days on the XBox! LOL I like it, he can get on there and play other people. So far he has 2 friends, 1 is his cousin on his dad side. He's into this one game called Battlefield where you wear a headset to talk to other people. Well, he's the scout and is telling people where to go. So at any given time you can walk into my house and hear him yelling, "ALL TANKS REPORT TO THE (PLACE)!" LOL It's so funny! I'm going to try to vidoe tape it so everyone can see!

Logan has one of his bestfriends birthday parties this Saturday. They are taking the kids to Chuck E Cheese in Bel Air. And I'm so nervous. His friend has been out with us now and this is Logan's first time going with them. I really don't know them so it's hard for me to say yes. plus, Logan was there when they asked and he was all excited how could I have said no. And the boy is one of his bestfriends! But I guess I need to start someplace. I just hope they are not out too late.

While Logan's at his friends party Brigitte & her boyfriend are coming up and we are going to play 500 Rummy! And order some pizza! Can't wait! Other then that, thats all thats going on this week pretty much!

PS I heard they are calling for some snow this weekend. Ahhh...

Picture Picture Everywhere !

OK So I'm really behind, so this is going to go fast, LOL

Friday/Saturday Bathroom:
Done, blue, my walls are way uneven! LOL


4th of July: Fun with Friends :)
We spent time with my sis (BFF) Jennie and her hubby n of course my other favorite kid, my Cody boy! If I was talking, I could hear Logan now saying NO HE'S MY BEST FRIEND :) LOL Love those boys! We did dinne, fireworks and the very long line for Jennie's funnel cake! Then back to my house again. But still had a good time, always do. Jennie managed to throw her phone away, by accident of course. Thank goodness it was on top in the trash can when she went back the next day, LOL







Monday Pictures with a friend:

This was the only good one I really got!


Got to see baby dear, very exciting!

Wednesday: Fort Delaware on Peapatch Island then over to Fort Mott in Jersey :)
Logan and I went to Fort Delaware, it's become a yearly thing when I have off during 4th of July week. The sky that day was so clear, blue and the clouds were so perfect and puffy, it was just the perfect day to be outside! Hot but not to the point that you couldn't stand it. I never noticed the pretty red brick that was in the tunnels at Forst Delaware. I could h ave spent hours there taking portraits. But someone wasn't in the mood. The red is just bright and rich, great for pictures!


And were off to Fort Delaware & Mott!


Logan :)


My Logie Bear took this :) Not too bad :)


Swamp :) LOL


HELP ! ! ! LOL


I took a bunch of these, just love how it looks! Gonna be even better when I get the chance to edit it :)


The pretty blue sky and clouds

From Thursday on, it was rest time. I wasn't feeling too well, so we stayed around the house, watched tv, some movies and Logan played outside. I did get to Fair Hill for some pictures and will post them tomorrow :) I'm off to lay in bed with Logan and watch some tv :)

It's Officialy BLUE

My bathroom that is. I got paint and did my bathroom. It's a lil bit bluer then I wanted but I like it. My frog theme will go well with it. I will have to take pictures once it's all done, still need to go the walls up near the ceiling. My next project is my godfather's bathroom. Think I'm going to go with a light color, I just need something on the wall that is washable because he can't seem to hit the hole and will not sit down. Men...

I hope everyone is having a good 4th. We are having some people over, so excited! Then we are going to the fire works in Elkton. Never been so it's all new to me. Guess ya have to park and walk. Should be interesting! LOL

I'm also redoing my living room picture's. I have been taking so many myself now, that I have a lot that I want to put up. So Wednesday I got some more frames, Thursday night I took down the ones I had up and got the holes closed up and painted,and now I need to figure out a pattern and put them back up. I'm planning on doing some gardening tomorrow night along with cleaning my car inside and out! So that Monday and Tuesday I can sit around and not do a darn thing :) We have off for a week, getting paid still too. Love not having to work :) Do have doctor appointments lined up tho for those two days. Then Wednesday we are going to Fort DE and Mott, Thursday were going to Dover and then Friday to Cape Henolopen. So still a busy week. Well I better get off of here and see if I can't find my battery pack for my camera!

13 Days and counting...

Again the weekend passed by too fast! I'm sitting here just finishing up eating a bowl of Lucky Charms! It's been a fun week, we had a couple days off for snow/ice, my godfather's eye surgery went good and I've connected with some old friends online and we been sharing pictures! It's been exciting talking to everyone again! Can't wait til we al get together :)

Other then that, I've just been working, cleaning, and sleeping as always! I'm working on getting our house refinanced and if it works, we should be saving around $1200 so I'm totally excited!


NASCAR starts in just 13 days, then I'll be glued to the TV every Friday and Sunday! Can't wait!! They are working on the track down at Dover. Adding a SAFER wall for pit road along with a pit for the 43rd car so they don't have to share. We are going Friday May 29th for practice, qualifying and the truck race. Then My mom is getting Logan and I tickets for his birthday for Sunday! Then I got tickets for the fall race also! WHOO HOO! Totally excited! Our Lowe's trip is on hold til next year cause of my health, but I can deal with that. For now :)
