Some Great Local Fundraiser Events Coming Up

There are a few things that I do each year to help raise funds for various charities or foundations and as the year is progressing, the calendar of events is starting to fill up.
Most of the events that we do are for the March of Dimes.  We have a family team that we are a [...]



Love and Basketball

I love that movie, by the way.  If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. 
Anyway, Chuckie is into his basketball season and he is doing okay.  Not as well as last year but it is still early on and he has a different coach.  One that isn’t as aggressive as last year. 
He had a basketball [...]



Happiest Holiday Season in Years

I am so ready for Christmas.  I don’t mean that I am ready for it all to be over.  Usually, that is how I feel every year around this time.  I am usually so stressed out about how I am going to finish it all and how I am going to have gifts for everyone [...]



Things That Make Me Happy

There are several things that make me happy.  Some are big things, some are small things but  each of them just make my heart flutter. 
* Home improvements.  Since Chuck and I decided to stay where we are and fix it up, we have been talking about what we can do to make it look nicer [...]



Christmas

Yes, you read that right. I am talking about Christmas!  Every year I say that I am going to start shopping early and get things done as early as possible.  It has been a few years since I actually did that though.  This year, I have a pretty good head start. 
I started in mid September.  [...]



Update: Fingers and Toes Crossed

Well, we went to the house yesterday to meet with the owner.  We took the tour of the inside and it just solidified our love for the house.  The rooms are a tad small but that is okay with us.  The house, location and yard make up for that.  Everything is in perfect condition and [...]



Fingers and Toes are Crossed

For years, I have been repeating myself over and over again.  I can’t count how many times I have said on here and to other friends that we would begin seriously looking for a house to buy.  I get really excited and hopeful that the timing is going to be right and everything will fall [...]



oops

I swear I didn’t forget about my site!  Things have been hectic around here.  I am getting into a better routine these days but haven’t had too much time for online stuff. 
I try to at least read everyone else’s sites to keep up to date on what is going on with everyone.  Is it just [...]



The Perfect Weekend

This weekend was perfect in every way.  We spent the entire weekend together, as a family.  We didn’t do anything that was necessary..meaning, we did what we wanted, when we wanted. 
Yesterday, the weather was absolutely perfect, not too hot and not rainy or windy.  The kids and I swam, Chuck mowed the grass and we [...]



A move in the right direction

I have been looking for a job for many months.  I have applied several places, had interviews and even had one place call to say they wanted to hire me.  Unfortunately, that company…the daycare…hasn’t called back.  I drive past there every so often and I don’t think they had a very good enrollment because there [...]
