{Blogmas 2015}

I've gone back and forth on if I want to do this this year. I started last year and then...I didn't finish obviously. I enjoy Christmas though. And although I know I talk about my grandpa quite a bit, and how I know he would want me to continue doing things that make me happy, he wouldn't want me to give up things because he isn't here anymore. So I'm going to go ahead and attempt to do this. I might not get every day in. But I'm going to try the best I can!

I'm also planning on doing a photo a day in December on Instagram/twitter/facebook. So look out for that fun!

I hope you, my readers, whoever you are, can bare with me and try to understand that December is going to be rough for me.

Here is the list of prompts I'll be doing!

{It's OK to Grieve}

I'm having a rough time right now. That's why I haven't really been posting that much. Not that I don't have anything to be happy about. If you follow me on any social media then you know I'm not all depressing posts (not all the time anyway). But for the last month I've just been very emotional and frankly, sad. That's the best way to put it. I'm sad.

{My Kids a Genius!!}

OK OK! I know he's not really a genius. Well, he might be. D did test at a genius level and actually went to a gifted school when he was a kid for a little while. My brother is also a genius. But to my knowledge, Owen is not a genius. I'm pretty sure every mother thinks their kid is one though.

{ThanksGiving is Coming!}

For the better part of my life I've had pretty much the same routine when it comes to the Thanksgiving holiday.

My grandma woke up at three o' clock in the morning to put the massive turkey in the oven. She would start any other food that might have needed a while to cook, and began prepping others that would just take a little while. We got up around eight o'clock and started getting ready. She'd put us to work doing one thing or another. Be it cleaning up the bathroom/living room/ random rooms. The kitchen was grandma's domain. Sometimes I would help, sometimes I would steer clear so that I didn't have to.

{Blogging Slacker}

Ugh. I know I've been late with the last few blogs. I'm really trying to do this on a schedule so I have a little more content. It's kind of working..right?
Since I don't have anything exciting happening right now I thought I'd just ramble a little while I'm waiting for time to walk up to the door to get Owen.

{Happy Wife...}

I know we have all heard the saying Happy Wife Happy Life..my husband clearly has.
We have had the same model phones for about 3 years now. I think I've had mine maybe a year longer than him though. We switched from AT&T to Verizon and the Galaxy S3 was free at the time. When we went in a year later to upgrade, because that's what the sales guy said we could do, they said we couldn't upgrade until the following November! So annoying!
So when I checked my verizon account and it showed that we could upgrade early..I jumped on that lol.

{If I Won a Million Dollars!}

What wouldn't I do if I won a million dollars is probably a better question.

So lets go down the list shall we? For starters though, if I were to ever win a substantial amount of money, enough that we would never have to worry about money again, I wouldn't tell anyone. And I mean no one. OK, well maybe I'd tell my siblings. But that's it. I don't need the crazies crawling out of the woodwork trying take my damn money!

{Happy Halloween!}

We had such a low key day today. Which is just how I like a holiday. Low key. Easy. No drama.

The first thing we did when we got up was head to D's grandmas house. The kids hadn't been over there since before Owens birthday so it was time. We sat there and visited for about two hours. It was nice. Until his aunt (she lives there also) mentioned that my grandpa had died..she asked me actually. She has
