So.far.behind

I am so far behind...I'm just gonna go backwards!

I will do Christmas and New Years recaps soon...let's just start from Sunday now shall we?

This past weekend, we stayed the New Years weekend with our neighborhood gang in Ashville at a cool cabin out there. We got back Sunday afternoon. This week has started Bean's basketball practices and my online Math class has started as well. We are fully back in the swing of things! Also to travel back with us is a cold...I have it, N has it and Cat has a small cough, but the kids seem to be for the most part not getting it. Now I just have to get the house is somewhat order, drive me nutso when it's all in a tizzy....

Until Next time,

Soup or Pie?

Last nite I was all Betty Homemaker and made a pumpkin pie...

it was supposed to be this:

But came out like this:

Even the whipped cream in a can, was all soupy...what in the world! Oh well, I still ate it and N said it was good, just gooey.

My Math final is tomorrow nite, hopefully I can maintain my A after that! Couple of errands to run before Sun and then off for Christmas Vacation.....a lot coming up as well. Trips in January, February, April, and July....geesh!

Until Next time,

Things I am thankful for....humorous holiday edition

1. That Zhu Zhu pets are in fact not toxic and a certain little girl will be able to enjoy the 2 pets, 1 hamster bed/carrier, 2 tutus and a hamster house come Christmas morning....rather than a certain mother trying to figure out another use for said items since the certain little girls college education was spent in trying to gather such items






2. That I had extra Christmas cards laying around as I got an unexpected one today...although I did not check off to whom I sent Christmas cards to; so it's a grab bag to see who ends up with one, two or none!

3. That I have 3 Math classes left until a break; a short one, but a break nonetheless

4. That the kids enjoy the little neighborhood errands I send them on....without knowing the reason I do it is to have 5 more minutes of peace and they achieve some sort of exercise

5. That the kids' bus driver has not scratched us off as one of her stops, as the kids; may or may not have to run outside just in the nick of time to catch her every.single.morning....hopefully the Starbuck's gift card at Christmas will make up for it

6. That I was able to eat at IHOP twice this past weekend and not gain an ounce...it's true!
Eggnog pancakes and Pumpkin pancakes are awesome

7. That I was able to locate a new lip product that I have been on the hunt for....it's the little things I tell you...bought 2 to try...$3 a pop and seem to be in every magazine I read




This week we have N's Christmas party (fashion show dress to make an appearance) and a surprise going away,


Until Next time,
Until Next time,

I'm still kickin!

Hello, my name is Suzanne and I have a blog. I have not visited said blog in awhile...all my preparation for the season wasn't quite enough and the blog fell to the way side.

Recap Time!!

We celebrated Bean's birthday at Chuck E Cheese in November...

Had Thanksgiving at my in-laws and me, Cat and my mom in law went to NYC! Had fun with shopping and taking Cat the see some sights, even got a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty!

What you don't see in the pictures is the drive home which was double the usual travel time, the rude Wendy's employee (excuse me for asking for it to go!) and Cat with a cough and started tears in M&M's world.

This week has been non stop as well; Mon was class (almost done!), Tues was a banquet for N's work, last night was TSO with our good friends...

I am trying to get my Christmas cards out this week, all presents have been bought, wrapped and shipped and we have another adventure coming up. Next week is N's Christmas party as well.

Until Next time,

Weekend Recap!

Let's see; Friday was grocery shopping day.....cue happy kids...NOT! But they know we were out of little bites, cereal...you know all the essentials. I also may have over stressed the fact that we were getting Bean's birthday cake supplies...whatever works I say!

Saturday, I got my hair done...dark, like black! and then I went to pick out my outfit for the fashion show coming up next Sunday and Sunday we went to Sunday brunch (tell me how you spencd $30 when you have a B0G0 coupon!) and they we went to Sam's, got some comfy blankets and back home. Then took Cat to a bday party, Target to look for some boots and then got my bathrooms clean! Weekend goal met.

This week I have school stuff to take care of, get donuts for Bean's class, bake cupcakes and the cake, get a pedicure (mom treat!), maintain the house, maybe actually cook a few dinners!

Funny pic of the Bean....he can get my phone out of my purse without me knowing and now wants to post pictures to Facebook!

Until Next time,

I should probably just stick to my day job....

This week is week of the military family, so on base at the bowling alley had a special for dinner and bowling for 2 hours. I ran errands and then surprised the kids and went there where N met us. Fun was had, took an hour for one game and this is the outcome:

Pic is small, but I lost....big time lost. Both kids tied with 97 and N got 122 and me? In the 70s!

Oh well, at least they had fun!

I have a to do list by day/month and schedule for the next week or so; we are in full swing!

Until next time,

Catch up

Things are definately in the swing around here....lots going on, lots to do!

This weekend we went to N's parents for Halloween and hung out with them and N's friend from high school and his family at the Ranch.

Bean was Optimus Prime and Cat was Hannah Montana

There was a maizefest at the Ranch; lots for the kids to do. Ride horses, face paint, playground, play in corn

Bean was able to lead us out of the maize and I got my funnel cake on!

I have next week off of class, which will be nice as I have about 156,863 things to do! Beans birthday party is next week, I have a fashion show after that, new classes to register for (Math and Astronomy!), packages to get sent out, clean the house...etc.

Until next time,
