Fall Cleaning

This past Sunday I sat in my recliner and studied about muscle tissue...real exciting! But I kept looking around at my living room and kitchen thinking ... "man I need to clean". I really couldn't concentrate on my A & P because of how dirty my house was. So, Monday I went to school and took my test (that I was not feeling so good about). On my way home, I thought, I wonder what mom's doing? So I call mom and asked her "what are you doing?" She said "I'm cleaning my cabinets, why?" I said "Do you want to come over and help me clean mine?" She said "sure!" I got my garage, living room, kitchen & the kids room all clean. I mean, walls washed, windows washed! Deep Cleaning. I feel sooooo good! The minute I walk into my house I can feel it!

Thank you, Mom. You are the best! I owe you.

I have friends that have lost their mothers and I feel so sad for them. I truly don't know what I would do with out my mom. I don't take her for granted anymore (except for fall cleaning). Mom even said "We haven't spent any time together in a long time" Whenever I need her she is there and I think she could say the same about me!

New Flat Wallet

I bought me a new brown flat wallet today from Sarah sellz! Check her out at www.sarahsellz.blogspot.com . I love it! Thanks Sarah, for going out of your way for us girls at Shear Madness! We love our new stuff.

New "used" laptop

A month ago, my dad met a guy who works on and sells used laptops. He decided he need one so that he could sit in his recliner and search the net =) So we got him hooked up with one. One day I needed to get some homework done at work so I borrowed his laptop.....well that led to this.....

I am now the new owner of a "used" Dell Latitude laptop! Despite a minor problem I think it will work out nicely. (It only had a CD drive, but my Microsoft Ultimate program is on a DVD. He is shipping me a DVD drive as I am posting this) If not for homework, definitely to check my blogs ;) He He He

Our trip to Pumpkin Works

A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Beth & I and our children (Kayla, Kyle, Seth & Wade, poor Wade didn't make it in any of the pictures) went to Paris to visit Pumpkin Works. The kids had a blast! And we thought they would sleep on the way home......are we stupid? =) Here are some of the pictures. (if any of you noticed the time of this post, I know, I should be sleeping but my damn allergies are keeping me up....again!)

I also got a wild hair that weekend to bake a pumpkin pie, It was GOOD. We also made Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies, our favorite!

Happy Anniversary!

Well, today is our 7th Wedding Anniversary. I can't believe it's been7 years already! I must say It has been 7 wonderful years. Happy Anniversary Scott! I Love You!

Okay, so we had a pretty good weekend. Friday night Kayla and I went to Wal-mart...grocery shopping, while Scott and Kyle went to the field to shell corn. Saturday I invited my niece Brooke and nephew Marc over to play. Which turned out to be a great idea..... I got my house cleaned, laundry done, crock pot pizza made for the weekend meal & I got the yard mowed! The kids played really well and had a great time. On Sunday, Kayla and I went to the Covered Bridge Festival with Clara, Amy, Kaiden, Nancy, Natasha & Josie while Scott & Kyle hauled beans with the 2-ton. Kyle had a BLAST. Scott said he did really well on the 1 1/2 wait in line at Ste. Marie!! =)

The highlights of the trip was:

1. The Hannah Montana Wallet for $3

2. The Fighting Illini Hoodie

On the way back we stopped in Terre Haute and did some shopping there too. We got Kyle some new jeans from Old Navy and Kayla a new winter coat (50% off) at Sears.

As for school this week, I have my 2nd muscle test on Thursday. I got an A on my first muscle test and I got an A on my midterm exam in my medical Term online class last week! Next weekend will be a little different...I have my chapter 7 test in Anatomy on Monday so I will try to study most of the weekend! That's all for now!

Hope Everyone has a good week!

Here's the exciting post I promised

These are a few pictures that I took a few weeks ago. I sent them to walmart and had a few of these printed off. We hope everyone is enjoying this great weather!

Whay to go Eagles!

Awesome Win Eagles!


What an exciting football game last night. We are so proud to be Eagle fans! I wish I had taken my camera. Scott and Kyle attended their first football game of the season last night. We sit two rows from the top and Kayla feel asleep while I was holding her. So I layed her down on Kimberlin Wallace's Letterwomen's jacket on the top row and she slept through the most exciting part of the game....overtime. We were late, so we didn't get to see the seniors introduced. Just want to give a shout out to # 75 Dusty Lindemann, WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU! We are so happy you give it your all and stuck it out! YOU ROCK!

I got an A on my last bone test. Now we have started the muscles. ugh. I have a midterm exam on Wednesday in my Medical Terminology online class and the muscle test 1 on Thursday. It's going to be a busy week of studying......and weekend...... I have to get an early start. Hope everyone has a good week!

We are at a stand still

Kyle is kinda at a stand-still with his potty training.....He is still having one or two accidents a day. The thing is, He tells me at home pretty much most of the time, but he won't tell Linda or anyone else. So, I guess we just have to wait for him to decide. We bought him a new 1/16 th scale CASE IH toy tractor from Newton Implement and told him he could have it if he didn't have any accidents......Well, last night I told him if he was going to pee and poop in his underwear I was going to have dad take the tractor back to Jerry (owner). So, Kyle got on his cell phone and "called" Jerry and he said this " Hi Jerry, My daddy is going to bring the tractor back, cause I not pee in the potty, bye" Too funny! On a good note, there has not been any more biting!

I took my first bone test last Thursday and I got an disappointing B. And I had the Unit 3 test on Monday and got another disappointing B. But I am still getting an A in my class. I am now studying for my second bone test, which is on Thursday. Then we are on to the muscles.

Well, that's it for now. Hopefully I will have a exciting post later in the week.....wait and see!!!
