I was talking to a few friends of mine today and there are so many of us that are setting goals for the new year. Not really resolutions because those are like a dead beat dads promises, made to be broken. So I got to thinking, what are my goals? Obviously I want to lose weight and that's at the top of my list. So most of mine are centered around that. But I also go to thinking about how I'm going...

{Little Christmas Haul}
Since everyone loves to show off what they got for Christmas..I figured I'd show off mine too :).
D insists that this was my gift this year. He said that he could have easily made me keep driving the van and gotten himself a truck since it was his car that took a crap on us just a couple months after...

{And Now The Wind Down}
I love Christmas. But I'm also glad its over. No more running around like a chicken with my head cut off to make sure I have something for all my kids and anyone else I have to buy for. No more dinners and parties dictating where I need to be. None of that. I am finally able to sit down and just breathe....

{Merry Christmas Eve!}
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I absolutely love Christmas! This year though just doesn't seem like Christmas. When I was a kid we would spend Christmas Eve at home (If I remember right) but Christmas Day was spend hopping from my dads parents house to my moms dads house and back to my moms moms house...

{It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!!}
Seriously you guys I have been waiting for it to snow since November! I love the snow! And living in IL it doesn't really feel like Christmas until it snows. So you can imagine how completely bummed I was last year when it barely got cold..let alone decided to snow. This year though everyone said that...

{Omg She's Back Again!}
Yeah, I just did that lol.
Basically I just wanted to let anyone who might be reading this know that I'm back to blogger :). As much as I liked having a wordpress.org blog and it came with many a fancy feature, I've decided that it's time to close my treat site. There are just so many other online treat sites out there that it's impossible to get any recognition. Especially since I don't have the...

{And when the snow is falling down down down...}
That's when Santa's back in town town town..that's when it's Christmas time again. La Da Lada Lada lol. Oh Backstreet Boys..you make my heart flutter :)Anyway- so we are almost done Christmas shopping! So I thought I'd share with you what we have (so far). We're not going all out this year like we have in the past. We just can't afford it. We have too many kids. The 2 older ones are just getting money...

{No denying it now}
This here is a picture of my first tattoo. I was dating a guy at the time with a friend who did tattoos and I got one :). I don't regret him one bit (the tattoo...the guy I regret to this day lol). Soon after I got him I wanted another. But me and the guy broke up and so on and so forth. I've been planning...

{Ematic Tablet & An Email from Santa?!}
I know not a lot of people read my little blog here, but I thought even if I help one person avoid the BS of this tablet, it'd be worth the time spent writing this. D and I wanted to get Bug his own tablet for Christmas this year. I thought a cheaper one might be better because chances are it'll get broken eventually and who wants to be out $200? Plus, he's 5yrs old. He doesn't need something that...

{So here it is!}
I can not believe we are almost finished Christmas shopping and we still have a month until Christmas! This never happens to us! lol We are those parents still rushing around the week before trying to find exactly what the kids want. But this year we started kinda early. D got his bonus check this week and we made a huge dent with that. Drama Queen is pretty much taken care of. No problems with that....

{It has begun!}
Yup. That's my Christmas tree right there. I put it up yesterday. Why? I couldn't tell ya lol. I got in the mood after going to Hobby Lobby and seeing all their Christmas trees. I couldnt help myself. I love Christmas but I try to wait until after Thanksgiving to put my decorations up. Anyway- I'm kinda...

{This can not be my kid...}
Oh lord. Please someone help me. Something has taken over my little boy and turned him into a fit throwing little heathen and I don't like it one little bit! What happened to the sweet little boy that just wanted to nurse? Blah. I guess that stopped about the time weened huh? My fault. Should have kept...

{Happy November!}
Hi everybody! (did anyone else say that in the Dr. Nick voice? lol)I just thought id pop on and make a quick post. Nothing too exciting. D and I were talking about Christmas today! He wants to get the stocking stuffers out of the way early so we have more time and less running around trying to make it even for all 3 kids. I can't handle it when 1 has more than the others. And because I tend to over...

{25 things YOU don't know about me!}
There's this tag going around youtube (yes...I love youtube..) and I wanted to do it lol. It's basically just 25 random facts that you don't know about me. So here I go!1. I have had 3 last names and only been married once. It depends on who I'm talking to, as to which last name they know me by. Family knows me by my birth name & fathers last name, they usually called me by my fathers last name...

{Here I go}
I'm blogging from the bathroom! Don't judge! Anyway- I know I haven't been blogging as much as I used to. But really there is just nothing exciting going on right now. Tue kids are in school and I'm currently looking for a job. I don't want babble on in blogs that have no point...like I'm doing right...

{Another year gone by..}
5 years ago today at 6am I delivered the most beautiful 7lb. 12oz. bundle of boobie monster I'd ever seen. I spent the rest of the day trying to first get the OK to take a damn shower (cause apparently they don't want you to be clean? I don't know) and then calling everyone under the sun to tell them...

{A new season!}
I am completely in love with fall. I love to watch the leaves change and fall off the trees into my waiting back yard. I love the smells especially though. While I took a nap after going to a town festival and parade D took the kids outside and built a little fire to burn some random things in the yard....

{Up all night..}
What I do at 1am:Taken with my webcam. Don't you love it? I try to do this at least once a week but I'm doing it twice this week because I got bored. Don't judge me.A lot has been going on here lately. Nothing super exciting. But still, stuff. The older kids (Drama Queen & G) went back to school....

{Kid Mode..thank you!}
I know that I've talked a lot about apps lately, but I downloaded another one about a week ago that has been a real joy lol.I don't know about anyone else, but Bug loves my phone. He loves to watch videos, netflix, and play games. But honestly I don't like for him to play a lot on it, not because he might break it, but because there are always so many ads on the game apps. So as he's playing things...

{Renovation Realities}
I hate working on the house. Hate. But I love the finished result.This weekend D and I (mainly D cause it's "mans work" as a friend put it lol), refinished our hardwood dining room floors. I am in love with them. They make the whole house seem cleaner. I don't know how that's possible. Then again, looking...

{3rd and 5th and Pre-K..Oh My!}
I am so not ready for this to happen this year. I just can not handle the thought of my little boy going off to school. I know I'm going to have a hard time with it. But I also know it has to be done. He has to go to school. He can't stay with only me forever, that's just not how things are done. Besides,...

{That time of year again..}
I don't know about the rest of the world, but in this house the end of summer vacation is both a blessing and a curse. I love that my kids are out of my hair (as much as I love them lol) for a few hours a day, but I hate having to figure out new things to stick in G's lunch box. He's such a picky eater!...

{End of Summer Post}
I can not believe that it's already almost time to register the kids for school. Not only that but they actually start school on the 23rd of August! Really wish it would have been cooler so we could have done a little more. Or maybe gone on vacation. *sigh* Next summer I swear we are going somewhere....

{I heart social media!}
I knew there was a reason I am so obsessed with facebook and twitter. And here it is... Last night in between trying to sleep off the migraine I was experiencing and fighting off the overwhelming urge to vomit, I checked Twitter. What else would I do?I saw one of my favorite authors (Sarah Dessen)...

{Happy Fathers Day!!}
Although it's almost 11pm and Fathers Day is almost over, I just had to take a minute and say thank you. Not just to my dad.But to my husband. For being the amazing father that he is to our kids. Not just because he had to, because they're his responsibility, but for taking on a child that wasn't his,...
