Today I spent what was supposed to be my day off (no big cuz I just had one Sunday and will also be off on Thursday) at the MOG with a group of lovelies from my store. We worked hard (again) trying to get things cleaned up a little bit more to help them out. One of these days they will have their stuff together... and I will be so so proud of ( Read more... )

It never ever fails... Saturday morning rolls around and caty is up bright and early. "Mommy... get up!". Not exactly music to your ears at 7 am when you really don't HAVE to be up for anything. I was surprised actually that she woke up so early on her own because we were awake until 11:00 last night watching that movie "Ray". I had a hard time ( Read more... )

I've gotta get in the shower soon and get ready for work, but I have several things I wanted to go ahead and post before I get rolling.  First off was the brief but wonderful visit from tmelvin  and her family.  They came in on Thursday night and we stayed up way too late giggling and having a few drinks and getting our snack on.  It's always nice and ( Read more... )

So I just finally made myself take some pictures of the fall leaves.  More so because my daughter was being adorable.  I love this time of year!!!  The entire front of my place is FILLED with piles of leaves.  You can't even see the parking lot for the leaves.  It's fabulous!

Today definitely did prove to be a much better day.  Those are generally determined by what I can and can not control, of course.  I don't mind chaos if it is controlled chaos... or chaos that I can quickly find a solution for.  Yes, today was much better.

I am oh so very excited because tomorrow night my friend tmelvin is coming in town with her hubby ( Read more... )

Today was a day that I can't really say that I am disappointed that it is almost over.  We had a relatively huge business day that we needed to pull through and it was an especially craptastic day for business.  Not only because we were up against such a big day and weren't really making it happen.  It was just one of those days where nothing ( Read more... )

I felt mildly accomplished today because I got another Christmas present knocked off of my list.  I still have a ways to go but at least I have got a plan and a lot of things already knocked off.  I was glad that I checked the website at work because I would have bought this doll for Caty from the Pottery Barn Kids store.  I got a super good deal ( Read more... )

Thought I might post Caty's Halloween pictures before I went to bed.  She was WAY cute.  She actually put on her costume (even though she refused to put it on at school today).  Her daddy came over to go trick or treating with her which was good for her.  She has been missing him.  We ended up just going to Beth's house (she works for me) and trick ( Read more... )

I forgot to update that Caty finally picked out a halloween costume.  She decided that she wanted to be a dalmation.  And then oddly enough Carissa had an old Adult sized dalmation costume from years ago that she brought to me last night.  So we can be damation mom and pup.  Although someone out there did mention that I would be more suited for ( Read more... )

I kept Caty home from school again today because she was super feverish this morning and I knew she didn't feel good. In fact, I didn't go to my meeting either because I didn't want to haul her in there feeling that way. I got her good and drugged up and we got rolling with breakfast and whatnot. We did end up going to work for a little bit to ( Read more... )
