Just popping in

Before we finish up here for the night and I sit down for a glass of wine I wanted to wish you all.....

A truly wonderful and magical Christmas.
May all of your dreams come true.

Santa's coming, Santa's coming.

That was Bear's chant this morning. He's really ready . Looks like I got everything done , at least I hope so lol . Gifts are wrapped. I picked up the veggies, chestnuts and wine yesterday. Oops...brb. It helps if I take out the duck for tomorrow's dinner uh . Took out the Christmas movies, got out Bear's Christmas pj's. Made the cookies for Santa. I remembered Santa's plate and mug.Cut the tags off the kids new ornaments. Double checked to make sure I have all of the stocking stuffers together. I even put together our menu for the big day, duck , shrimp cocktail, fresh veggies, deviled eggs, mashed taters, and pie ( just not sure what kind).

We're just gonna hang out and putter around to get ready for Santa's big arrival. Sissy is working today, Buddy is going with his dad and step mom to see her family . Than they are heading here. Of course we'll head to bed early cause little Bear likes to get up at 4 lol.Those are the plans any way you know what they say about the best layed plans. Good thing I can roll with things lol .
Ok I'm off for now . Til next time have a great day

Back in the saddle again

I'm back lol . The funky blahs are gone ( forever I hope) and I'm ready to rock and roll. My sense of humor is back and for those of you that don't know me well just hold on things might get wild around here ; ) .

Been busy( getting my act together) cleaning , the never ending pile of laundry , cooking, you know mommy stuff. I started stripping that old metal cabinet. I was going to paint it a mushroomy color( yep I making up words lol) to go with the teal color we're painting the bathroom ( gotta love opps paint) but now I just don't know. I like the look of the metal. Who knows it can be a mess which is why it was painted in the first place. But I do like the metal lol. Once thats done I can redo the bathroom. Than I'll move the jerry rigged unit ( Grandpas old record player stand and and old set of shelves we found lol) out of there. We're going to add an extra shelve to the unit and paint it ( orange) and put it in Bears closet ( Bear has a thing for traffic cone orange) . See Bear has one of these in his room . Now don't get me wrong it's great but it's not every strong and takes up a bit of floor space. We have to tighten it up all the time because the screws work loose and the whole thing wobbles. So since we don't hang anything in the closet I figured why not use that space. The bins will fit on the shelves and the cabinet will work for games or what ever. I'm working on an idea for coat/hat racks for both of the boys. We have a bunch of old hockey sticks ( why we have them is a mystery lol Hubby found them some where no one plays lol lol ). So I'm figuring a couple of pieces of scrap wood and some coat hooks and (maybe ) the boys will have a place to hang to never ending collection of ball caps and maybe just maybe their coats will make it on there too.

No baby parakeets all 6 eggs where duds. We went out and got a new parter for Dahlia .His name is Duke lol ( Bear picked the name he named the iguana after this guy LOL)


So we'll see what happens maybe we'll see another clutch of eggs this year . Still no babies from the canary's but we do have some time yet so we're keeping our fingers crossed.


The kids just had a week off from school . Mid winter break ????? What the hell is that??? Never happened before. None of us knew how to act. It was so weird having them off in February. But fear not we all made it and with no body count to boot ( it was touch and go there for a while) And it looks like there are more weird vacations coming up . I'm so confused lol lol . I love when their home but there are times when I want to beat all of them with a large stick lol lol lol .

Ok I'm going to work on my cabinet lol . Til next time . Have an awesome day.

Just another day : )

Back again, scary, uh. Well I'm finally getting the housework caught up . Thing's don't have to be perfect cause we all know I'm no where near perfect. Hell perfect takes one look at me and laughs it's ass off. But I have to have things organized . It's just a need I have . Yes I know I need help but I just don't have the time hahahahaha. So far I have a load of wash done I miss hanging it out side but it's just to cold. I'll have to break down and use the dryer. Made turkey soup yesterday.
I'm making veggie soup stock out of the left over veggies .That will take care of the thanksgiving leftovers. I did get my new craft tool box done just needs some tweaking but Hubby was right this works so much better. I was able to clean up the shelves where the craft stuff was , some of it still is but it is less cluttered. Now I'm going to work on Hubby's box next lol .Than I can finish the bedroom yippee.
I'm working on that last minute gift lol I'll show you it when it is received don't want anyone getting a peak lol .The apple pie filling experiment's worked so my want to make more and freeze it. Hopefully I get it all done before noon cause I want to chill for the rest of the day. Might not happen :) but I do have the best intentions really. Maybe I'll have a glass of wine tonight than pass out .Yep I'm a cheap date.

Ok I'm off for now .TTYS
