I am doing LAUNDRY.

"JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE!"

HAPPY 4TH!!

a couple of days to late!! but o welll.....

We had fun! Hope You did too!
saw fun and free fireworks- enjoyed in our friends driveway!
( i took pics) maybe somebody will help me put them on here.
and by 9 pm there was a small breeze so not totally icky outside!

now the prep work begins!!! school supplies and etc!
since school starts so EARLY, i am gonna stock up on more shorts too.

and I am having a blast playing with my farm on facebook.

God Bless America!!! please and thank you!!!

In the good ol' Sumertime!

WOW, what a trip... and I did not go anywhere.
Just disappearing from blogland.
some of my bestest friends now have blogs and
I have been invited to do facebook. hmmm.
I wonder if I could keep up on that?

some updates on me and mine,
We had a great Easter and have wonderful pics.
The kitchen is now painted a pale yellow.
I have a daughter entering HIGH SCHOOL!!
and now the other 2 will be in 5th and 6th grades.

and school starts on AUGUST 10th!!!
( but we do have fall break in October )
but still, sheese...

Have a great Summer everybody!!!

The Dutch Iris have already BLOOMED!!!
I guess we have had the perfect conditions,
rains and now lots of warm toasty sunshine!
ahhhh! sooo sweet! I need to tell you that these
sweet flowers are a total surprise when they come
up because some years they do NOT bloom.
They are a remenant from the original homeowner
and were spaced about the back yard in the most unusual places.
It's almost like she is saying hello!

I've got Sunshine!!! and not a cloudy day

OHHH! Glorious sun and heat!!!
its been in the 80's!! YEAH!!
(I feel so bad for my frozen friends)
I have a good friend moving from Florida to New York
to help with her aging parents. God Speed and God Bless.
because of course its a horrible storm she is driving into...
go figure...
My Iris are tall and I think the dutch will bloom by St Patty's day
and the bearded will wait till Easter (they have more shade)
a true sign of spring in these here parts!!

rain, rain go away

I know I live in the desert and that we need the rain.
I have just had enough for awhile,
I want some SUNSHINE!
I need to bake my sinus'. lol.

Happy Heart Month!

I was watching the early morning news yesterday and
everybody on screen had on RED, for Heart Month!
I am aware of breast cancer awareness month,
but this was new to me
(yes- i live in a bubble)
So in light of this, i want to help promote it,
or just raise a little bit more awareness.
As women, ( and i assume that mostly women read this )
we love and nuture everyone around us. I think we need
to make a little time to nuture ourselves and makesure
that we will still be here to do what we do best- take care of our loved ones.
So lets get to the Dr., get to the gym, or park and do something wonderful for ourselves!
Live a long and happy, healthy life.

( OH MY GOODNESS, did I just say that??!!??! )

Future Freshman Nite

all i can say is WHOAAAAA Nelly, slow down.
its been a long time since i have set foot on a HS Campus.
not much has changed. (lol) or so i thought. we went to
an "assembly" before meeting the club and sports and etc.
i thought the assembly was nice, they had, ROTC, jazz band,
choir, the deans spoke, and the dance ensemble performed.
OH MY GOSH!!!
i was soooo embarrassed....... they had girls and guys "dancing".
i think they were doing "hip hop", not really sure what to call it.
some of the moves were great, the costumes were fairly decent
( they even had on silver converse shoes ) BUT, i thought i was gonna die
when the song got nasty and so did the dance.
now, i dont think i am a prude, and i LOVE to dance
(granted i would rather 2 step, but i still like to shake my groove thing)
it was beyond 'Dirty Dancing'. and it was on stage!!!
i guess i am officially OLD, not only did i NOT like the music, but i was offended!!!
i dont watch MTV, so i know i am behind the times, but please
tell my WHY its acceptable
at the HIGH SCHOOL to be so risque?!?!?!?!!
PLEASE TELL ME!

HaPpY nEw YeAr!!!

Really, I hope everyone is enjoying all the New Year they can.
Things are CrAzY, WiLd, NuTsO, and purely ChAoTiC at my house.
We had a Wonerful Christmas, Hubby & kids have been on vacation
and I got a JOB!!!
Who Knew!?!
not me, thats for SURE! it really puts a new spin on things too. i am not a very organized person, so this is something i realllly need to work on since the Hubster goes back to work and the kids go back to school. My job is retail, not my favorite place ever,since i have alot of previous experience there. (lol) so far so good, nice people to work with. We'll see.

The MoSt ExCiTiNg thing happens Tommorrow,
its my Big Girls 14th B-day!!!!!
time flies...

I am also working on the new goals... isn't everybody???
GOOD LUCK YA"LL!!!
