It's finally over.....

and I can relax. I hope my kids were happy with their xmas. I think JC was disappointed but there isn't much I can do about it. Damn.. we got him a phone but it's prepaid and we are not letting him call all his friends. It is for him to get a hold of us. He can talk to them on the house phone. When I start working I plan to switch the plan over into our names from my mom's and then we will change our service plan and get new phones, etc. I myself would like texting capabilities.

Christopher loved everything he got. He didn't seem disappointed at all. That is good.

A week from tomorrow I start a new quarter at school. It's doesn't seem real. Damn..another 15 credits! This online class I am taking will be interesting. I have yet to take one so we will see. I am hoping to be able to do most of the work at school during my 4 hour break in work schedules.

Joe is having a movie marathon with all the movies he got and the kids got. He is in heaven. Me well honestly...I am bored. I am going to set up my wireless router so I can use my lap top. This computer is ready to die. I am hoping to find a cheap basic set up for the boys' when I get my grant money. I set up a myspace account for JC and when he is on it is so slow.

That reminds me... I need to log into his account and check it.

crap....crap.....crap

well it's about 9:30 on Friday morning and I have an entire house to clean for tomorrow. How am I suppose to do that with Christopher running in and out of the house making my carpet dirty. Plus I just dont' want to do it. Why is it that I always get stuck doing it. Joe is always at work and the boys are no where to be found. I still have a closet of presents to wrap...when am I suppose to do that...I guess in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping. Still have gifts to make...cookies to bake...a batch of cinnamon candy to make...when oh when am I suppose to find the time. The only thing I am looking forward to is going shopping with Stephanie tonight. Gets me out of the house for a while...but who knows what it will look like when I get home.

just gotta get thru the holiday....then life can go back to normal...well it's off to drink some coffee...turn on the radio and start cleaning....lucky me!!!

Life sucks!!!

Today at about 12:30 pm, one of my very best friends lost her older brother. He had been gravely ill and he chose to no longer be connected to machines. He is now resting peacefully and I cannot due anything to help her ease her pain. She knows I am here for her or her family if needed. I wish I could do more.

So be sure to tell all your loved ones how you feel. You just never know when they might go.

Lucky me...

to find out I am hosting a family gathering this Saturday at 2pm. It's not like you can say NO when they ask if our house could me the gathering place for the Crandall brothers and their families. Wow...we will see brother Mark twice in one year....damn it will be twice in 4 months. How do we rate?????

So now I get to really clean the house...scrub the cupboards witht he Mr. Clean white sponge, get all the cob webs down....actually dust the the computer room. I am going to put the boys to workt his time....I am not doing this alone. I want it all done when I go to bed Friday...which will be late according to Stephanie...I am going to help her shop Friday Night since she hasn't done much.

All I want to do now is crawl back in bed until after Christmas. I will make sure to take lots of pictures on Saturday. Good family pic's and darn...I will have to take the pic so I won't be in it. Isn't that just a pitty. Damn... more work...gotta clear out my camera card...always something to do.

Guess I better go get busy...so much to do so little time.

My last day of freedom

and I have to spend it shopping for food. I am going to try to get the house decorated. I managed to get the tree up but everything else is still sitting in the tubs on the front porch where they have been for 3 days. Oh well. Life goes on. I had such great plans for my week alone and I have managed to lay around and sleep most of it. Stephanie and I made candy one day but that's about it.

I am on a roll this morning...I did laundry off and on all night long. When I woke up to pee, I switched loads, I just finished cleaning out JC's fish tank and here I am posting. Coffee is brewing and I have folded both loads I took out of the dryer. One sitting in there I need to work on and another couple of loads to wash. Will work on that until Emily leaves then it's off to go grocery shopping. Yippee!!! My "plan" is to have to house decorated by the time the kids get home.

JC has his last football game tomorrow morning at 8am. So one more early morning then we are done. YEAH!!!!

That is about it for now!!

A week of peace

starts today. I start my week off with a house to clean, laundry to do and no chance of rest and relaxation. At lease I don't have two fighting kids at home. I can get things done with peace. Of course this morning I get to start my day off with Anthony. Who as cute as can be just woke up. We will get some one on one time today without the boys interfering!!!!

Jorge came and played at the family football game for JC's team yesterday. He seemed to have a good time and then they joined us for pizza after. It does my heart good to see Tiffany happy. She is just glowing with her pregnancy even though her mom is trying to ruin it. I am going to have a great baby shower for her and her mom won't be there by Tiffany's choice. I cannot wait.

Gotta get busy...boys off to school and then breakfast for Anthony and a house to clean.

Yeah I know....

it's been almost three months since I posted a blog on here. Been a little busy. Today is my final day of the quarter. I have my anatomy final at 2:15. Then I don't go back until January 2nd to once again carry 15 credits....crap that is hard. But I am getting 5 A's and one B right now...I am hoping to pull an A out of Anatomy. I have an A now and think I did great on my test Tuesday. Not doing well on my final will ruin my grade but I have studied my brains out. It's just all the different graphs and crap I have a hard time remembering. But hey...I can only do so much.

Tiffany is getting so big...I cannot wait until Juan Carlos is born. Yes, it's another boy and Juan Carlos is his name. She is due end of February.

I am hoping when I post after Christmas to post some pics. I need to still purchase a wireless router to run my lap top through the internet connection. That is where all my pics are loaded.

Hope everyone is doing great.....be back sooner than later.
