I'm so ready for bed...

Well today was kinda slow. I didn't get much done around the house, since noon I've had this headache that just does NOT want to go away. Guess having an active 2 year old and a 5 month old puppy doesn't help either. Didn't think two small beings could make so much noise when put to…

Why do I even bother?

You know I try so hard to do nice things for these kids but somehow they always get thrown back in my face, so to speak. So this afternoon, after getting Jasmine from school, I decide "let's go to the library". I'm thinking you know it's a nice day outside, it's actually 5…

I knew it, I knew it. I shouldn't even try to make all these plans of things I'm going to do on the weekend because it usually turns out that nothing gets done. I DID manage to sneak off to the library without the kids. My way of thinking is that they get to spend some time with daddy, but…

I LOVE Fridays!!!

I love listening to music and I find it so relaxing, it's like I can't get through the day if I don't have some sort of music or tv or something in the background. Does that make sense? Not that I don't need the noise, having the kids and the puppy running around is enough noise for …

This is the reason puppies get away with everything

Now how can you stay mad at a face like this? LOL I think Lola knows she's cute so she will go out of her way to try and do things she knows better not to do, only to have me struggle with either yelling at her or just laughing. I must say that for the most part I've grown immune to her cut…
