To all my Blogger Buds!

My family and I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year and a Healthy and Wealthy 2009!

Well, I did it again........

Once again I have waited til the last minute to do my shopping. UUGGGGHHHHH! Why do I do this every year, you think I would learn from years past. NOPE.

Here is what today is looking like so far.

Work now. Christmas Party @ Noon. Go to the mall and try not to kill anyone. Go to the grocery store and get the fixing's for baked mostaciolli and 2 pork roast. Go home and wrap presents while drinking. Make mostaciolli for Wednesday and prep pork roasts for Thursday, again, while drinking.

Wish me luck.

Santa's letter is in the mail......

I am so excited that my kids will soon be getting a letter from Santa .

Want to see if your kids are getting one too? Just click above on Santa, it only takes 2 minutes and the look on those little faces will be priceless.

2 OF MY FAVORITE THINGS


My Husband..



My kids..

A Tag from Jess

Jess tagged me a few days ago with a meme called Flicker 6 of 6. Go to page six photo six of your Flicker photostream and then post it. I don't have flicker so I modified it to play along. 6th folder, 6th picture.

A trip to the zoo with the boys and school.




I am tagging anyone who wants to play. Come on, don't be a pooper head, just play.

I have been a total slacker

I cant believe I have not been on here in 2 weeks.

I have been in a rut for the last few weeks...I don't know if it is the holidays coming up or what but I am usually in a good mood this time of year. I love to buy gifts for my family, I love to see the looks on every ones face when they open the gifts. (kids mostly)

I need to get out of this funk!!!!!

we put up our tree, a 9 foot pre-lit and the flippin top was burned out, go figure, so i get a strand of 100 multi color that states if one burns out the rest stay lit. I plug it in and all 100 bulbs are lit. Yipee!! I put the lights on the tree plug it in again and guess what....half the frickin lights are out. WTF. I don't care I left em like that and after 2 weeks, we are going to put ornaments on tonight.

As soon as I find my plug for my camera, I will download pics of my sad Christmas decorated house.

Maybe after we decorate some more, I will feel better.

I have lots to post on so stay tuned.

Shoveling in Chicago

This is what we all did this morning!
