I've had enough!!

As most of you know, I have been sick for, well, WAY TOO LONG! I'm sick of being sick! I miss singing :o( and talking :o( Yes, you guessed it, this post is nothing more than a long complain-fest about my current state of sickness. I know my coughing and raspy voice is annoying, but being sick for this long is even more annoying! Well, I'm off to take my nightly dose of Nyquil that drops me into a comatose-like state for 4-6 hours, at which point I will wake up in a fit of coughing. Poor me :o(

Rosanna's School Picture

I can't believe that my baby is a first grader!! This is even more evident when she brings home her school picture and I compare it to last year's. I thought she looked so grown up then, but now she looks and acts so much more grown up! She is reading, writing, and doing math problems like you wouldn't believe. I even catch her up on her top bunk reading by herself, how cute is that? BTW She would freak if she knew this entire blog post was about her, she doesn't like when I tell people all of the wonderful things I think about her!

Technologically Challenged...

I think this whole blog thing has got me realizing how little I actually use my computer to its full potential. The other night, while I was supposed to be studying for a test, I made my first ever video slide show. I wanted to put a few pictures together for my niece Autumn, who is moving back to Montana on Thursday. Of course I got carried away and four hours later I had a one minute video! Follow this link if you want to check it out!

I know that I will never reach the greatness of those like my father and sister, but hey, I will have fun trying! :o)

I love the weekend!

So today I finally had some time to chill out, literally! I froze my buns off while sweeping the snow off of my car so I could go to work! Luckily I was only there for a couple of hours and then I got to come home and take a nap. There is nothing better than a snowy day when the whole family can hang out in their pj's. The girls wanted to play in the snow, but Layla doesn't have any snowpants yet. I didn't think she would need them so soon! So if anyone else is a thrift store addict like myself, please be on the lookout for some 4T snowpants so the next time it snows like this, we are prepared!

Our New Blog!

Ok, ok, I have to admit that I was feeling left out and like we were the only people left on earth without a blog. So I have held out as long as I possibly could, but have finally broken down and taken the plunge into bloghood. This first post is going to be a little short because it is now midnight and I am seeing double from a long night of homework in front of the computer. I will try to post again soon and am making a personal goal to keep this as updated as possible. So thanks for visiting and keep checking for more posts!
