Learning a new lesson

today was another day by myself. Well mostly anyway. I did go to Wal-Mart to pick up somethings but I mostly stayed home today. I got caught up on the things i needed to do for the girls in Activity Days. Getting their folders together and printing out a few things that needed to go in them. I found these really cute 8x10 mini posters about the young women's values that the girls can color and then hang on their wall so I printed those out and put them in their folders also. then I spent the rest of the day just playing with the kids and talking to dale.

Dominic got into a little trouble today and had to learn a hard lesson. He was riding his bike with the next door neighbor and he ran over and broke one of their sidewalk lamps. He had to say he was sorry and offer to pay for it. He didn't like that very much but he did it anyway and I explained to him that this was part of taking responsibility for our actions. That it's not easy but it shows that he has good character. He said fine and did it but was upset about it for a little bit. Of course he got over it real fast when he learned that I made cheesy chicken and rice for dinner which is his favorite food. I am real proud of him for standing up and taking responsibility for his mistake today.

Marykrista came over tonight for a little to catch up and to borrow our air bed then had to leave. It was a short visit but nice all the same.

After diner we did our normal routine and headed to bed. Now that my blogging is done for the day I am also headed to bed. That's all for now. Blog at you later.

Finally getting to see a long lost Friend...Ha Ha

ok so lets start with not to much happened on Tuesday. Dale worked a double and the kids went to school so I stayed home and got caught up on some last minute house work and spent the rest of the day just hanging out with myself. It was really peaceful. I wasn't expecting that. Usually I don't like to be home all alone all day. But it wasn't to bad.



Ok now for today. I got up and cleaned as usual then got dressed and just as I was about to walk out the door Michelle called to tell me that she can't get her Klick-N-kut to work right so she was going to have Robert take a look at it tonight and she would call me tomorrow. I was fine with that so I made plans to go to Wal-Mart instead. Then just as I was about to walk out the door again she called and said never mind why don't you come over anyway and we can figure this out together. I said fine and told her that I would be there in about 10 min. and left the house as fast as I could so no one else to call and hold me up. I got there and we spent the next four and a half hours working on it. First we couldn't get it to work and that took about and hour, then we couldn't get it to communicate with the computer and finally it did about two hours later and much listening to a movie and reading the instructions book, then we couldn't get the thing to cut without popping up some error that said it wasn't authorized or it was the wrong port. Finally we got it working then the picture we wanted wouldn't work with the program so we had to call a friend and ask her how she did it. By this time it was 3:00 and I needed to get home to my family so that I could feed them and do scriptures before we had to go to church. At church Sis. Huff was in charge and she did a get to know you game with m&m's which was really cool. Now we are home and its time for bed.

Well that's all for tonight. Blog at you later.

Catching up with the weekend

Well there really isn't much to talk about today. This weekend was really boring as far as things to talk about. We mostly spent time together as a family and got caught up on some house work. Dale worked a double on Sunday so we were not able to go to chruch. Then the kids spent most of today playing with the next door neighbors and taking turns going back and forth between the two houses. Its really nice to have people next door that have kids to play with. It keeps both sets of parents from loosing their minds. Ha Ha Ha. Anyway there isn't much else to say so I will stop here. Blog at you later.

just killing time

ok so there isnt much to talk about today. Dale and I went antiquing and just fiddled around all day to kill time until the kids got home. Then Dominic and I played my new Twilight Game a couple of times and I made dinner. Now we are all headed to bed. Thats all for tonight. Sorry its so short. Blog at you later.

Two days off

Wow it has been a great day. I don't think I can remeber the last time that my husband had both of his days off. It has been a true blessing considering the fact that I spent most of his first day off in a bead store and he spent it sleeping. But we got to really spend some good time together today. We went and paid a few bills then went out to lunch and just really talked. I love spending time alone with him. It reminds me of when we first met and had a ton of things to talk about. I guess when you spend all your time together you seem to run out of things that are intersting to talk about and so you end up only talking about the kids or what needs to be done around the house. I guess its a good thing we don't get to spend all our time together. I love him anyway. Well thats all for today. Blog at you later.

Spending the day at a Bead Store

Today I spend most of the day at Sister Moores Bead store in Clarksville helping her make some and bagging the sets of stuff to make the rest of the bracelets that we will be making at the Woman's Conference at the end of the month. it was a ton of fun. I wish I could find a good part time job somewhere like that. I just know I would have a blast working there. Anyway I got home at about 5 and spent the rest of the day with Dale and the kids.

Well that's all for today. Sorry its so short. Blog at you later.

Cool new food

Today was another day alone at the house. I don't mind it so much when I have things to do. Like cleaning this house the right way since while I was sick my kids thought that it was slack time. Anyway I got the house cleaning done and then worked on my Christmas cards some more. I think I am getting closer to knowing what I am finally going to do. Anyway Dale and the kids got home right about the same time and I helped with homework and made dinner. Then we did our scripture study and the kids headed to bed.

Oh I have to tell you about this recipe that I tried tonight. It is a slightly different version of the sloppy Joe only a lot neater.

Its called Crescent Roll Sloppy Joe's
First pre heat your oven to 375 then you take two cans of Crescent Rolls and open them up. Then you pinch together two of the triangles so that they make a square. Then you cook up 1/2 a pound hamburger meat until brown and add two tablespoons of taco seasoning and a cup of salsa and cook those until heated through. But don't add water to the taco seasoning because the salsa wets it enough. Then you add a spoonful of the mixture to the crescent square and add a small amount of cheese then fold it in half and pinch the sides together. Continue this process of adding the meat, cheese and folding it in half until all the squares are filled. Then you brush them with a beaten egg and place on a cookie sheet. Don't forget to spray the pan so the food doesn't stick. And cook until the Crescent Rolls are done. Then remove and serve. My kids loved them and they really fill you up. Plus they are way neater than real sloppy Jose. Not that I don't like the real thing but I'm all about the easy and clean. Well that's all for today. Blog at you later.
