Ahhh Its Friday!! hurrah! I love Fridays because it means the routine of the daily grind is over for a few  days. No homework, not early to bed, dinner and be when ever. Last night the children and I played a game of Sorry, Fun spending time with them Aaron will be 13 the end of the month, I know it wont be long before he will want nothing to do with me. Although he is such a sweet child and he cares so much for me. He has been my buddy since he was born, so I hope he will always hold me in a special place in his heart. 
Hailey has Nutcracker ballet rehearsal at 5;15 and then Girl scouts at 6:30 . I am taking Aaron to his buddy Danes so he can spend another week end with Dane. I told Danes mother i was going to have to pay her child support .Aaron goes there almost every Friday and stays until Sunday night. 
So today i took a long jacuzzi in the morning, Ran to the grocery for sub sandwich fixins . I started cutting out a dress for Hailey.Hoping it will be a great Christmas dress .Red corduroy jumper style .I can find her a nice shirt to wear under it. I do like making her dresses I am not too sure she is thrilled with wearing them . She will be 11 in Dec so my days of having a little girl around are almost over. Sigh!!
 Still I do have a wonderful life, the best husband anyone could ever ask for. I am a truly blesses woman!

  Today I think I am going to go back to sleep for awhile.Got The children off to school and Ricky off to work. I have to go to the bank, and plan to make chili for dinner . We had it last night, so it will be much better tonight.I make it over sea shell pasta as my mother did, we have cheddar cheese and sour cream on top.Like a big Taco. They also have crackers with it. Its pretty good stuff. It is not Aarons favorite but he is almost 13 and usually eats anything.
  Got laundry to do today, always fun!! I hang my clothes on a clothes line, I know Old fashion, but it saves so much on the utility bill.I always put them in the dryer for 5 to 15 minutes to fluff them up.All except sheets and bedding, they go straight on the beds.Love fresh sheets from the line. 
So here I go for my Thursday. Come on week end.
I did get to some thrift stores yesterday, found a beautiful metal art rooster for my laundry area, and red corduroy fabric . i also got three long sleeve shirts for my husband to wear to work. I love a thrift store.

11/1/11

Today is my ninth anniversary.My husband ,Ricky and I were married in Asheville,NC in a beautiful Chapel .We feel like it was only yesterday but then we feel we have know each other all our lives.He is my best friend and I am his. I can only hope everyone has a marriage as good as ours.The plan is to go to a local restaurant called Turtle Island.The food is always great, it is close to home and has a fun atmosphere. Next week we are traveling to La and Memphis. That will be our gift to each other.
So today I plan to take it easy. Do only what I have to as far as house work goes. Take a long jacuzzi and dress in something stylish and fun. A friend of ours gave us a bottle of strawberry Riesling wine which we will toast our good fortune with after we get home from dinner. As it is Hailey's dance day ,we are hoping her Aunt or father will pick her up from dance and bring her home so we can relax at dinner.
I have put away Halloween decor and hung the Thanksgiving flags on the porch. Just waiting to get out my Christmas decorations.Now Christmas is my holiday!!

another day at home

There is nothing like my life these days!! Up early getting Hailey off to school.Grampa takes her to her bus, then I take Aaron to his an hour later. Got the hubby off to work ,made the beds ,talked to my daughter in Pa., I had to take the cat to the vet for her vaccines. Yee Ha! Are you jealous yet?
After arriving back home, I did some billing for my husbands electrical company,Checked on my Facebook friends and cleaned up the kitchen.Oh yes I spent 15minutes on hold before getting Time Warner cable to mail us a new remote.(Our is older than Methuselah. )
While cleaning the cook top, my hubby arrived home.End of my work, I cant seem to get anything done once he gets home. Don't know why this is.
So now waiting on Hailey to walk in, homework snack and reading.After this we wait on Aaron . Going to give him left over Fried Chicken, rice and collards before I take them both off to Trick or treat.Aaron going as an Angry Bird with his buddy and Hailey as a Witch going with her Aunt Tara and her BFF Samantha and Carmen. At some point this evening I have to go back and pick up Aaron,Hailey is spending the night with Tara.
Now is this not an exciting life I live??? No but I love it just the same.

End of a great day

I always feel my day is over when I get the dishes washed and leftovers put away. After this the night is my own, I feel. Yet tonight I am off to Southport to pick up Aaron from church, then to the Red Box (which we just discovered) to return a movie Hailey rented last night. Think the rest of the evening will be spent watching masterpiece theater on PBS. Probably hit the bed about 11pm as 6am seems to come moments after I lay down.
Tomorrow I plan to take on the Living room, dusting and polishing and vacuuming. Take the cat Miss Priss to the vet for her vaccines, then tackle the down stairs bathroom. It is Halloween, so I must take Aaron to his buddy Dane's for trick to treating , and Hailey is going to her Aunt Tara's to trick or treat with her friends. Hailey will spend the night with Tara,and she will go to school from there. I will have to go out and pick up Aaron when her gets his T&T done.
Now one cant ask for more excitement than this LOL.
I know my life is far from exciting, but it is close enough to perfect for me.

A Sunday at home

This is the day before Halloween,. Today I am we are having Fried Chicken, rice and gravy and collards with biscuits for our Sunday Supper. One of my husbands favorite meals. Currently he is watching Football and Hailey is playing with her BFF in her room.Aaron is at his friend Danes house. I will be picking him up at 7:30 after youth service.
All is well here at home. I love a Sunday. Always have. The weather has cooled down and it feels like Fall.. Finally. Looking forward to a productive week .
