Well I have been wanting to go to bed for a couple of hours now, but I took a nap this afternoon and it is working against me.. However it is almost midnight here, which last night would have been 1am so therefore I am going to bed..

I am tired, but awake all wrapped into one, but I know that I need to get some more rest.. I have rested quite a bit this weekend.. I have battled a sinus infection all week and went to the dr for it and took my meds like a good girl.. I must say that I had a fever again today.. Please pray for me that it clears up quickly...

Well I am heading to bed now enough outta me.... Good Night and

God Bless,

Hi there.. Wow it seems to have been a long weekend.. LOL Friday I had classes then I did a few things and came home for a bit. My friend Anita was having a bad week so we went out to eat and shopping at walmart and had a good time.. Got back to town and I hooked up with a couple other friends. Got to bed late and early Saturday we got up and went to Missouri Days.. My speech group had a funnel cake booth there.. It was ok, but it was a very long day.. I got home between 3:30 and 4 and went to sleep.. Woke up at 11 am today was up for 30minutes and went back to sleep till almost 4 today.. Then I did a did a few things..

My kids got home from their dads around 8ish and all is well. They are getting ready for bed and guess who is still wide awake?? Yep you guessed it me.. I need to get some pictures off my phone and post them.. Stay tuned...

Today has been a long day.. I am getting ready to head to bed.. I took a nap today as I had a headache and just didn't feel real good.. Tomorrow morning I do not have to go to my 1st class so I do not have to be at school till 11.. WOOHOO I am excited about that..

Tonight was kinda a fend for yourself sandwhich and chip kinda night.. The kids loved it. We are going to try to do something fun this weekend.. I have no idea what yet, but we are thinking..

What do ya'll have planned for this weekend?? I have to finish mowing the yard and a few things, but other than that not much is planned as of yet.. I think we will do some baking.. The kids love to cook so we will do some of that and make some fall recipes since it is going to be a wonderful fall weekend here in North Missouri..

Well I am off to bed.. Talk to you tomorrow..

God Bless,

Can you believe that it is Monday again already?? Wow this weekend was awesome and I had such a good weekend.. I was able to do laundry at my house.. WOOOHOO THANK YOU MOMMA DEAREST!!!!!!!!!! I went and did my monthly grocery shopping and then I went with my friend Anna to the grocery and helped her better use her monthly grocery money. She was like looking at all that I got and etc and was like man girl you gotta go to the store and help me.. So we went yesterday afternoon and she has groveries like you would not believe.. I was trying to teach her and help her to plan her menu and how to get the most from her money and she was majorly impressed yesterday when she got everything she needed for the month and still had some money left over..

I love being frugal.. BTW Wal-mart had an AWESOME deal on Gatorade yesterday and since we are in basketball season the kids are drinking way more than normal and so I stocked up on that.

OK gotta run to class.. Later

God Bless,

I am so darn sleepy.. I have no idea why.. Ok so I took a nap today and I think I slept to much when I took the nap.. LOL The kids just got home from spending some time with their dad tonight.. He finally came and got them and then brought them back almost an hour later than he was supposed to which in turn makes bedtime a pain in the hiney for me... Oh well they got to spend time with daddy..

The little guys are showering and getting ready for bed now and will be out and in bed in less than 10 minutes which puts them in bed about 10 minutes late.. Ok so not as bad as I thought it was.. LOL Jeremiah is usually asleep before 9 but he should be ok..

I am going to get them in bed and hopefully I will be able to get to sleep around 10 just like I wanted too..  I am so tired and I have class tomorrow and I need to get some rest....

Sleep well my friends

God Bless,

Mars

So todayit is a bit rainy.. Not like down pour kinda rain, but just enough to get things wet and cause your car windshields to be a mess.. LOL This morning is a college fair and then I have a test..

I am tired and ready to take a nap already this morning.. LOL I was up past my bed time last night.. I don't like that.. Anyway I need to put the laundry away this afternoon when I get home from school today. My kids are supposed to go with thier dad, however he won't call them back and tell them if he is coming to get them like he is supposed to.. He will not call us back if his wife is home. I am praying about this situation as I just do not know what to do...

Well I better get ready and head out to the college fair and take my test so I can get home and do the stuff here..

Have a great day..

God Bless,

How is everyone doing?? We are doing pretty good here.. It has been raining again here so everything is muddy and you have to almost fight to get a parking place at the college..

My classes are going great and I am super excited.. I must say though that my microbiology class is going to be a real run for the money..

The kids are doing good and enjoying school and life is settling down some. Now that the funerals and such are over, however their grandfather had a little accident and is in the hospital till at least tomorrow and possibly longer.. He flipped his 4-wheeler on Saturday night and broke his collar bone, some ribs and punctured a lung.. He was moved out of ICU and put in a private room and is doing better the kids dad said yesterday.. PLease keep Jay in your prayers as he heals....

Have a great day

God Bless,

College Days are finally here.. I am at a time in my life where I feel it is time to go back to school and get a degree.. I am signed up, registered and going to take a test to see which class will be my last class this semester.. I am excited about this new step/ chapter in life.. I have wanted to do this for awhile, but it just was not possible at the time, but the door is open and I am going through it... Please keep me in your prayers as I start this adventure.. I know it will be just fine, but nevertheless I am a bit nervous as I am not one who really really like change..LOL

My kids think it is great except my 8 year old who thinks it is weird that mom would go back to school.. In fact I believe his exact words were.." Mom that is kinda creepy". LOL However he is ok with it... The other kids think it is cool that mom will have homework with them...

Not totally for sure what degree I am going for, but I will keep you posted on the progress through out...

God Bless,
Mars

Happy Tuesday.. How are you all doing today?? We are all doing good here.. I am tired, but that is my own fault I stayed up to long last night visiting with some friends.. We enjoy getting together cooking supper and sitting around talking or surfing the web while the kids play at the park across the street, in the yard or watch television.  We have a good time and the kids have fun playing with their friends..

Last night we had BBQ beef sammies, french fries and sodas... Tonight I think we are having pork chops, dressing and corn.. Oh yes and I also made strawberry cupcakes.. Wow they were yummy...

We took the kids out to the State Park just outside of town and they played in the lake at the swimming area.. I think we might be going back out there today to take a hike on one of the trails..

We are going to help a friend of mine rip up all her caret this week and make her hardwood floors shine.. We are going to do other things as well.. the kids are doing good..

Well I better get going.. I have somethings to get done... Have a GREAT day...

God Bless,

Today I went to work for a bit and then when I got off i went to Jamesport for a bit.. I just needed a couple of things and wanted to go over there while I had time to run over by myself...

Tonight for supper I am making BLT's and salad.. I am tired tonight and just want an easy night here with the kiddos..

We have cleaned house, did the dishes and now I need to cook cupper then maybe make some cookies as well..

The sun is shining here and the humidity has gone down quite a bit so yes it is hot outside, but not miserable like it has been. God is so good He knows how much miserable humidity we can take before He gives us a break.. I am so thankful for His love, grace, mercy and the joy that only He can bring.

Well I am off for now need to get supper going...

Hi there.. How is everyone doing?? It has been awhile since I have posted here.. Lots of things have been going on..... My kids and I have been having a great time together... The 4th was pretty fun.. We fished, ate and shot off fireworks then the boys camped with poppa.. We had lots of fun. Poppa took the girls camping on the 3rd for Jills 13th birthday... They had a blast..

So life has been interesting, but all will be ok.. Please pray for the my kids as their dad and his wife have really pushed them away.. Dad let the stepmom say some very nasty things to my oldest daughter and they are upset...

Well I gotta run for now.. I will soon..
