Easter Is Just Around The Corner

Easter one of my kids favorite times of the year. I've been baking like crazy, have to send treats to my hubby's work, plus those little people are always asking for handouts lol. Here are some pictures of the treats I made.

Easter bunnies look simple but are hard to bake just right.

Would You Date Yourself?

So I like to watch "The Talk" I find it interesting when they have their discussion sessions in the beginning of the show.

So the other day they had a section on there where they ask the question "Would you date yourself?"

The things I like about myself, I don't think I would necessarily like them in someone else. I can be rather annoying (you're shocked I know lol), I like things in their place, and I hate cooking, but love baking. So we'd all be fat, grouchy, and cleaning freaks. I don't know that's a hard question, but I really think I wouldn't date myself.

So the question for you is "would you date yourself?"

Report Cards

I hate report cards, as a parent they are not very insighful. The teacher puts my son down as having difficulty in communication both in nov and now, yet in the little write up at the bottom she writes you are improving so well keep up the good work. Then wouldn't you put him down as good??? Is it just me???

She phones me and says he has trouble sitting still. I'm like and.... he's a boy IN SCHOOL! Come on you've never had a child like this before? He has trouble sitting still at home. He'd rather be outside playing. He'd rather be doing something, anything else. Work with him, it's not that hard.

Because the twins are in the same class I'll ask her about one of the children and she moves on and talks about the other one. Well I didn't ask you about that child and really do you need to compare them??? Come on already.

As a kid you'd always worry about report cards, as a parent you worry more about report cards. Is my child going to be traumatized by this?, are they doing to struggle through school?, are they making friends? are they shy? it's very stressful.

I hate report cards, but am thankful it's not me getting them.

February

February is just one of those months. At one point it was starting to warm up then it was -40 with the wind chill, then it's "normal" february weather. Make up your mind already

I'm ready for warm temps and no hat, mitts and boots season already. Come on summer!

The Big C

Well it has finally hit my family, isn't that nice? I've never known anyone to actually have cancer. You always hear of someone or other but it's always "over there" type of thing.

It's scary... just to let you know it's not me or my kids or my husband... but it's someone close to me. Of course I'm not allowed to say anything "they are going to treat me different" "well yes they are going to treat you like you have cancer, COME ON!" Sometimes you just want to smack them lol. But yeah I know they are going to kick it, it's just in their nature, it's treatable, it's a common type. While doing research on this type of cancer I came across a site where you can rent a 40 foot wide by 8 feet high colon. That's a nice welcome home present, don't you think?

I've seen some documentary where these ladies laughed at cancer. I can't remember how it turned out but I think it was a positive. So hopefully my person can do the same.

We're going to kick Cancer's ass!!!!

Winter 2010

Well it's that time of year again. Although I must say winter this year hasn't been bad. We haven't had terrible snowstorms or freezing cold weather for weeks on end.

Christmas was a success. With it just being the 6 of us 8 if you include the dogs. No drama, no shouting, no fights it was so nice. Santa brought the kids each their own sledds and Dustin actually came out with us. I got some really good pictures. It was a full busy 2 weeks off, but I know the kids are happy to be back in school. There weren't too many days when the kids changed out of their jammies lol.

It's a new year, looking forward to seeing what this year brings.
