It's been TEN days since I've last spoke to you, so I'm just gonna give you some random things I've done or had on my mind.. otherwise I'd take up your evening with pictures and details of my last week and a half.. so I'll spare ya this time.
Last weekend we had a stand at the Chili Cook off... it was a TON of work! I alone, cooked 70lbs of hamburger and made 65 gallons of chili! The cook off was Friday 11am-10pm and Saturday 11am-10pm.. let me tell you, it was a long.two.days! After the cook off we hopped on the bikes and rode to a bar in Collinsville to have a relaxing drink. While we were there we got a text from Mic's dad telling us our final amount made from the cook off. Sadly.. we broke even. Talk about disappointing! We had planned on taking the money we raised and buying Christmas presents for needy kids and than riding the bikes to take them the presents. Something charitable and fun for the bike club to do. Guess we will have to try another fundraiser to raise the money!
Wednesday I met with a councilor at SWIC and got the ball rolling on signing up for school in January. I'm going to be a full time student again working on a degree in Administrative of Justice... that's right ladies and gents... this momma is gonna be a COP! I'm pretty excited about it.. I think its a career that's right up my ally. If you know me, you know I'm not scarred to stand up for what I believe in and not afraid of conflict. I'm confident that I will make a great police officer =)
Today was Kennah's first school field trip! We woke up to a dark and gloomy morning, Kennah was coughing her poor little head off, and I didn't have a sitter so I had to take Landon with us.. but we were determined to make the best of the day! It ended up being a lot of fun! Kennah had a blast.. and Landon and mommy did too =)
Here's a few pictures from today:
So that's the high lights of my week and a half.. here is some random thoughts for ya:
* I'm pretty excited about the Cardinals winning lately! Last night we Mic watched Transformers 3 (I think it was 3... anyway, the new one!) and I watched the game on my phone! Can we say NERD! Can't help it.. I've always loved the Red Birds.. and I'm so pumped that they could make it to the world series again!
* Confession Time! 1) I feel like I yell at my kids too much... I need something to calm my nerves... Prozac, Marijuana, Whisky.. not sure what... just something! Before I have a stroke!
2) I totally had two confessions.. and after typing number one.. I forgot my second one... damn it!
* I bought all the kids costumes yesterday! and I can't wait for Halloween now! All of their party supplies (craft's and party bag stuff) came in from oriental trading and costumes are on their way... Fall is among us!! Which also means Christmas is right around the corner!! I've started shopping already! -- well kinda.. I bought one little gift! =)
*OH!! I remember what my number "2" confession was! --- The fact that I only have 8 followers, keeps me from blogging often.. I kinda feel like I'm waisting my time =(
Any Who, I gotta wash and get little man outta the tub before he turns into a prune! (no worries ya'll, I'm sitting tub side with my laptop... You didn't really think I left him in the bathroom alone did ya?!?!) Have a good night!!
