Money

As I read through my older posts I see the problems we have. It always comes back to money.  But what sticks out more in my head is that we are happy. Sure every one disagrees once in a while but when it comes right down to it. We are a happy family. We love each other.  We do things for each other. Sometimes even with out asking.
I couldn't ask for a better family. Well, I could but I'd just get this one again. I have awesome kids and a great soul mate to spend my life with.
Life is a little bumpy, but I've got the best people to ride the bumps with me here in the back of the bus.
I love my family. I would not be able to handle life with out them.

They make it all worthwhile.

Snuggles

Sitting on the couch snuggling with Shelby. She's torn between playing wizards 101 and staying. She even tried to convince me to sit on the little couch and snuggle with her feet while she played her game.
We are watching Wizards of Waverly Place the movie. She's told me when they get to the cave she's leaving me. LOL

They are almost to the cave.

Down loaded a new app

Well. I'm gonna try this new app. See how well I can do it. LOL shouldn't be too bad I guess.

Test run

Alrighty then

I'm not going to even pretend I know what the heck is going on here with the controls of my blog.  It's been a while since I've posted, and I came here figuring I'd find the same ole same old.  But no...it isn't.  Oh well.

Well, not much has changed...we're still dirt poor, and I'm still in nursing school.  However, it is summer break, and I'm only half way through the break.  Yuck.  I actually pulled out my fundamentals book the other day and....studied.  LOL!

Oh well.  I need to figure out if my phone is still hooked up to this blog.  I wonder if I could post pictures here...Maybe I should figure it out?

Eating veggie-tar-in

What do vegetarian zombies eat?
GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAINS

That's what I overheard Stephanie tell Shelby this afternoon at lunch.  I thought it was funny.

I don't know if I mentioned it before, but Stephanie is a vegetarian.  Tonight the rest of the family is eating pork chops, and she's going to have eggplant chops.  LOL, I know sounds weird huh.  Eggplant is one of those things (kinda like tofu) that picks up whatever you cook it in.  If I season it right, that eggplant will taste like our pork chops.  (texture maybe different though. LOL!!!!)  Anyway-so tonight we're having scalloped potatoes, cabbage, and some fried veggies.  I have not totally figured out what we're gonna fry (I should say what I'm gonna fry), but there's gonna be mushrooms in it.  (I like mushrooms)

School is almost over...well, for the summer anyway.  In 3 weeks I'd like to say my stress will be less, but I'm not sure how well that'll be since I have to wait for my grades...I just don't know how long I'll have to wait for the grades.

It's been 3 weeks since my last Dr. Pepper.  I don't want one, but I want one.  However, the great side to this is the weight loss.  15 pounds in 3 weeks is awesome.  Not sure I LOOK like I've lost 15 pounds, but I have.  Now, I just need to "tone up".  Maybe I'll go vegetarian like Stephanie!  Nah, I like steak too much.  But we are cutting back on our portion sizes.

ONWARD!

I can't think of a witty title name

So, here I am...recovering from last nights Daughtry concert.  It was my oldest first rock concert.  I'm not sure how well she recieved the experience.  She says she enjoyed herself, but she's not exactly a crowd person, so having 2k+ screaming fans wasn't her cup of tea.  There was a point when Daughtry was getting ready to come out of the stage and everyone stood up and she said "What's this?" and I told her "Welcome to the concert"

I thought about my 11 year old.  She's a music buff.  I bet she would've been all WOOOO HOOOOOO and rock and rolll, and I love you fingers, and all that stuff.  Even if we were in the back.  However, I didn't take my 11 year old, it was Missy's 16th birthday present.  She had to wait 2 months for it, and when asked her if it was worth the wait she said yes. 

Waiting for the show to start in the back.  It's a nice venue there.  Ruth Eckerd Hall.  There is not really a bad seat in the place.  There are no obstructed views in the auditorium.  I told Bill that we should start going to see concerts there.  He's not a crowd person either.  I'll be stuck (ha ha, stuck...right) taking the children to concerts.

I wonder if Matchbox 20 will be coming to town any time soon...  Zsusanna would take me, she'd let me act like a fool and not say anything about it.  She'd have to man the camera though. 

So, it was a great experience.  I enjoyed myself.  Reminded me of how much I like concerts.
