I am a sucker for contests.

There is a contest going on over at TheBurghBaby!  She is awesome and so funny!  She has been asking all of us to click away on her site for the entire month of September so that she can raise money for the Flight 93 Memorial Fund.   Here is her post from 9/11…it is so moving [...]



Tidbits of Randomness

I have several thoughts on my  mind and so this post will be totally random.
Let’s see….here we go:
We have three weddings coming up in October that we are attending.  The first one is an outdoor wedding on a farm.  I don’t think that it is an animal farm but rather a former farm that the [...]



I Will Make the Difference

That is the motto for our school district’s new anti-bullying program.  This year, we have started a huge program within our school district for grades K-8 where all the kids learn about bullying, what is considered bullying, how you can stop it, etc.  The school received a grant from Highmark for this. 
Most parents in this [...]



Getting Anxious

My hair has grown quite quickly and I am feeling anxious for a change.  Back in May I wanted to get my hair permed and my sister tried it but it didn’t really take very well.  I have some wave to it but nothing very exciting. 
I want a change that makes me look older and [...]



The Sunny Side of Things

I think we are finally on our way to health again!  I took all three kids to the doctor yesterday morning.  The boys had their re-check of their lungs to see if the pneumonia had cleared up.  Chuckie came out clean and clear.  Woo Hoo!!  He no longer has pneumonia but he does still have [...]



The Sickness has invaded

All three of the kids are sick.  All.three.are.sick.  Good golly, am I having fun! 
I decided to take Chuckie to the doctor on Tuesday for the cough that just won’t stop.  It has greatly decreased in the few days prior to the doctor visit but it was still there.  I wanted to know if it had [...]



A fresh start

Last night, I had the kids’ orientation at school.  It’s a night where the parents go and meet the teachers and hear about the classroom schedule and policies.  I already knew both of their teachers and have heard that they are really great teachers and that the kids will both learn a lot.  I was [...]



Brace face, metal mouth

Jada had her orthodontist appointment yesterday and it went very well.  She has had an expander in her mouth for the past two months.  It was cemented into the roof of her mouth and I had to turn a little part in it for a certain number of times a month.  It wasn’t too bad [...]



The time has come

For a long time now, Chuck and I have been talking about the fact that our weekends are ruined by my working only on weekends.  I have wanted to quit working weekends for a long time so that we can actually have family time together. 
I only work until 2pm every Saturday and Sunday but by [...]
