where did the week go???

last weekend was a blast the kids were so excited to sleepover friday night. we had pizza for dinner and played a bean bag toss game and watched movies together until bed time. the kids finally fell asleep around 11:30pm and i finally fell asleep as well. in the morning we all went out for breakfast. then we went home and the kids explored the yard and watched tv. we also baked chocolate chip cookies. my neice helped me to mix and bake and my nephew was happy to eat them. in the afternoon my brother and sil came for an early dinner and then they all headed home. after they left and we cleaned up my boyfriend and i went to hear the band he was in play. boyfriend only wanted to go for a little while and leave early. we ended up getting home at 3 am after i dragged my boyfriend to the car. sunday was just a nice relaxing day to recover before the work week. this week flew by. wednesday's snow and ice kept me home and the break was a treat. i love snow days. i spent the whole day in my pj's and never even set foot outside.

it is friday

and i have 1 hour left at work before i borrow my neice and nephew. we are all excited and can't wait. yeah for the weekend!!

IS IT FRIDAY YET

my nice and nephew are finally coming to stay overnight at my house. i am so excited. my niece found out this morning and i am sure my nephew will know by the end of the day. i am so excited to spend time with them. now that i am an hour away i don't get to spoil them and play with them as much. even if we just hang out and watch movies i will be happy. winnie will be so excited too. she loves them and will go nuts when they walk in the door friday night with me. the kids are also excited to see the kitten tigger they haven't seen anything but pictures of her so far and can't wait to play with her. now how do i make the rest of today and tomorrow go by fast while i am this excited?

a day to remember

wow our country has come a long way. president obama a first for this country i did not expect to see until i was a grandparent. i am looking forward to seeing were this fascinating man take us.

fun in the cold

next time the temp get to zero in your area try this. boil a pot of water, take it out side and throw water into the air. you get instant frozen vapor cloud and no water. so cool. boyfriend found this online and of course we had to try it. next time i will have to take pictures so cool

is it spring yet

i am so ready for warm weather and it is only january. this week in pa we are getting an arctic blast. yuck!! the only good thing is having the fireplace lit 24-7. gotta love having an insert and being able to heat your house. we have lots of dead or old and dying trees on our property and the boyfriend is planning his use of his newest toy the chain saw. while not ready to tackle the giant trees on our land he has been tackling the smaller ones. although even that is not always easy. at least the indoors are a balmy temp if the outdoors is nearing zero. yes zero this week.

i think i'm addicted to facebook

my sil got me to join facebook i did but that was as far as i got. today i decided to poke around a bit. wow i found friends i haven't talked to in a while and even my college roommate i lost touch with years ago. now i finally understand why people love this site so much. i am having fun (much needed) catching up with old friends and even family. people i used to bump into once in a while i can now chat or leave messages anytime. now that i got it i am in trouble. i will be on there everyday. good thing it is slow at work i will have time to reconnect and revive old friendships. this is just the thing i have needed lately. i love boyfriend but i miss having friends to talk to and regret letting friendships drift away. now i will have a chance to change that.

what a way to sart the new year

my boyfriend got laid off today. wow things have been good lately and we are a bit blindsided right now. hopefully he can get a new job quickly. i really don't know what to say or do at this point so please forgive me if i disappear for a bit while i freak out. hopefully i will be back with good news soon.
