DoN't just LiVe with IT

I suppose since I love cookies, you all know, I have had my fair share of trying different kinds. Just to be sure of those special ones I really enjoy eating. Since they are in indulgence, I don't have them too often (when it rains, so thank goodness this isn't Oregon or Washington). Which brings me to my point, finally you are saying, well, I went to purchase some soft batch from a certain company, (won't name names call me if you want to know), and not only was the bag considerably smaller but the cookies are no bigger than bite size. But, the price is still the same. Got me upset when I got them home only to notice, since grocery shopping with a little one, you have to be quick and make sure you have a list! Just a sour note to begin this post. I guess it is another sign of the economy going down hill. Smaller, less in quality or quantity but, hey, we still want you to pay the same.So, when I am done here, I am going to email the company. Just a consumer's concern, no, I am sure nothing will come of lil' ole' me saying what is on my mind. Well, that is enough of that.

I just put my youngest down for a nap. Same schedule as always, but that works for me to set up the rest of the day; picking up my oldest from school, homework time, play outside and making some dinner. Then things tend to wind down, unless we go out. I got done with a 'tea phone date' with my mom. We drink tea and call eachother to chat about life, our lives. We had to catch up, we both seem to be a little busier these days. I miss her, I wish I lived closer. I miss both my parents! But they are happy, retirement does wonders, if you know how to enjoy your time.

I am in the process of looking for a new bmx mini racing bike for our oldest. I was irresponsible and left the garage unlocked (won't ever happen again I can tell you!) and someone stole it right off the garage wall. My son was heartbroken. He got it for Christmas.We were going to get him into racing, my husband started off that way, bikes and moved to motorcross. My husband was real good, won most races, until we had our oldest and he decided to give it up for safety reasons and since he is the major bread winner, you know. So, I have been searching on Ebay and Craigslist. Those aren't cheap bikes. I guess lesson learned, but I plan to take action and make him happy again. Might take a while, but Mama will make it right! I better go to finish my office work. Keep your garages locked and love on your kids! Oh, and be a truthful consumer, thank God and our fighting men, this is a free country.

It seems lately I have regained my appreciation for the 'Scrapbooking Art'. I have been doing my fair share lately. I must say, I seem to be in a different place right now.
My marriage is going great, knock on wood, we have been going on dates and laughing a lot. We seem to have gained back what was once lost. I am blessed to be finally at this point with my family.
I miss my parents, but hopefully will be seeing them soon. We are planning a trip sometime in the near future. We are going to set up the web cam so we can at least see them more often.
Planning to move is a chore. Trying to sort out details takes time. Hopefully we can get things in order and take that giant leap. Joe and I are ready.
My boys always give me joy. More lately. I am proud at how great my oldest is doing in school. My youngest is doing great at potty training and tells me when he needs to.
It has been raining, which I always enjoy. Cozy in our house and loving eachother's company. I just love the smell of the rain. All in all, my family is healthy today, I am ok, we battled our illnesses and will tredge on to tomorrow.
