Here I am

Well sorry it took so long, but honestly I've just been enjoying life. I've got some things done around the house, worked on my project outside, spent time with the fam and just had a great couple of days. Also, yesterday Abby dropped my wireless mouse and it wouldn't work, so I couldn't do anything on this computer until Steve got me a temporary one to use while I wait for Apple to send me a new one. Well let's see, I did get everything I needed to get done on Friday, even the two movies. We really enjoyed both of them. It was a nice evening. Saturday was tremendously fun. I got 19 pages done in Abby's album and now she is completely caught up and I just have to keep it that way!! I also got 4 pages done for Noah and he's two pages away from being caught up. I won one of the drawings and got some cool page completion kits and a jounaling box kit. I had a great time with the ladies! It was just a great day. Then Culver's, oh my I told Sonya that I would've paid to watch her and Lura that night. They had me dying from the pain in my stomach muscles, I was laughing so hard!! I loved shopping with them at Dollar Tree too, the girl working there was interesting too!!! My kids were thrilled to get the things I bought them the next day. It's amazing how much happiness can come from a few dollars!! OUr day was so exciting and the trip home was no different! We started the trip going through some very heavy lightning and rain. It was pretty exciting!! Thenw e had some great conversations, I swear I could drive to California with Sonya and it would seem like it would take only a few minutes!! I was eager to show the husband my completed pages and he looked at them and gave me my pat on the back and I was happy!! Sunday we went to church and lunch and did a little shopping. Then we just hung out together for the most of the day. It was a nice quiet Sunday. Yesterday I did TONS of laundry. I even folded it and put it away!! Yay, go me!! I made one of the freezer meals I made for dinner last night, it was a roasted chicken shephard's pie. It was really good!! I loved it and it was so nice to pull it out at lunch to thaw a bit then pop it in the oven for awhile and voila, a nice home cooked dinner!! It really didn't taste like it had been frozen, it was delicious. We took the kids to shop with the money they had earned over the month and Noah got another Lego set and Abby got Puppy in my Pocket. They were both thrilled with that. I watched Dancing with the Stars and the Bachelor (I hadn't planned to watch that, but got hooked when I watched the first episode, Go Bevin, I like her!!) and that Joey Faton....wooo he is good!! I have enjoyed him from the first time I saw him in 'Nsync and was rooting for him in the show from the beginning, he is getting really good!! I watched his dance from last week probably 10 times and still haven't deleted it, I loved it!! Well today while Absy was at school, I worked more on my flower bed. It's a big job, but when I put on my IPod and go out there, I really enjoy it. Plus while I'm working out there I'm not sitting around eating and watching t.v. so it's good for the ol" bod too!! Well The fam is pressuring me for some lunch, so I better go make that and then it's back outside!! Have a great one
