Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wishing all my friends and family a special Thanksgiving!!!! I am thankful that I have you in my life. Have a wonderful day!!!!

November is Here

The feeling of the holidays is here. YEAH! Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas. I love to get the kids excited about the holidays. We watch all the holiday specials on tv. Bake some specials food. Talk about toys they want for Christmas. Take them to see all the lights. Snuggle in front of our fake fire place. That is exciting for them and for me.

We have decorated for Thanksgiving already. We are going to Nana and Papa's house to have our family meal.

Hanukkah is early this year and starts the night Dec 4. It goes for eight days. Want to show my friends the menorah and play the dreidel game.

We celebrate all the holidays in this family. And will learn as much as we can about them as well.

Changes

Everything changed for today. The bad weather made us have to cancel the yard sale. My in-law aren't taking the kids this weekend. Dennis and I can't go dancing together tonight. I will go by myself to Jamie's birthday dance off.

I am feeling much much anxiety caused by my doctors. Aren't they supposed to help me? Anyway....have been struggling this week.

At least, I can spend time with my friends tonight to help get my mind of things. And I get to spend free time with my kids where we don't have plans during the day for the next two days. Hopefully, they can keep their fighting to a minimum...for my sake.

I miss the park!

What's New? Everything!

Halloween was a fun event. We had a gathering here and Ami had a gathering there. We definitely celebrated this holiday. Lots of candy and great cookies too. Ami is a great cookie maker.

We celebrated Jamie's b-day yesterday by having her over for lunch. We wanted to celebrate her day with her. She is a great friend.

Kids have been mildly sick this week, but are on the mend. Wish we could have gone to park, but weather has been to cold and windy.

Not liking this night early stuff since we had to change the clocks back. I do better in day light.

Been under a lot of stress lately. Don't know what is going to happen with my driving and the increase on my medication is probably effecting me too.

Having a yard sale this weekend with my friends and hope to make some money. I have to find more of my stuff to sell so I can make something from all this hard work. Will dig up some more stuff in attic and basement.

The best closing to the week will be dancing on Saturday night. Boogey Down!!!

A Rainy Day with Some Fun

Today is rainy, but that didn't stop the day from coming. I had words with kids at the bus stop this morning as they have not been behaving and are going to cause a serious accident. So now I am being bad mouthed by some 6th graders. Then I had to drop off important papers to one of my doctors. Took Sarah to breakfast and to Target. Took Sarah and Nathaniel to school and watched Baby Ben for a few hours. Got Connor off bus...was yelled at by 6th graders again. Took Connor to soccer end of season party. Connor got a trophy and a soccer bank from his coaches. Now we are home.

Phew.......tea anyone?

A Day In October

I guess I didn't write for a long time since my last blog was in August. Seems this time of the year is very busy with school, soccer, cub scouts, etc. Much is new and much is old. Some is bad and some is good. Some I remember and some I don't.

Been taking the kids to the park as much as possible before the weather has a big cold spell. Looking forward to all the holidays since I love them so much. I love decorating with the kids and the spirit that comes with each holiday. I guess you could say I am like a big kid during those times.

Halloween is around the corner and we have out costumes....Connor will be a ghost, Sarah will be a Pikachu, Dennis will be a bandit, and I will be a food. What a bunch of different things. Maybe we will have a theme next year.

Anyway, Connor was in the Halloween parade and I was so excited for him. He joined his cub scouts as they walked down the streets of Mohnton.

More of this and more of that. later.

Weekend of Plenty

This weekend was full to the max. My mother-in-law came on Friday to go shopping with me in our area. We saw many Goodwills and some great country stores. We were out so late that a place actually turned the lights off on us. Mother-in-law spent the night on the couch.

Saturday my mother-in-law drove me up to Mountain Top where they live (and the kids are visiting)so we could go to a tea room with Sarah. It was Sarah's first time. We dressed in our dresses and when we got there we were given a choice of hats to wear. It was very lady-like. We had scones and tea. Sarah had hot chocolate. There was soup, salad, and tea sandwhiches too. It was fun to see Sarah try to act very lady-like. She had a great time. The tea roon was wonderful. While we were at the tea room Papa took Connor on a train ride at Steamtown. Dennis was still at work and met us at his parents late because he was going to a baseball game with his Dad and brother. Everyone had a different schedule.

After spending the night at my in-laws Saturday night, we came back home. Then we were off to my Grandma's condo in Limerick. The kids and Dennis had never seen it before and we were to eat dinner there. We had dinner while trying not to fall asleep. My parents were there too. After a few hours, we returned home.

I slept like a rock.
