Friday night Mom!

Yay...I made it to Friday!
I can look forward to staying up late, sleeping in, and just relaxing! And then I woke up.

Ahhhh, the life of Mom. Where your Friday nights are spent folding clothes, cleaning up after kids, and feeding your family. Yet, I wouldn't trade it for....well almost anything! :)

Until tomorrow....

Happy Veterans Day!

My family spent the day together. We have an active duty sailor in the house. It has been a full and eventful day. I'm thankful to all of our servicemen and women. Without them, we wouldn't be protected.

Until tomorrow...

Where am I Wednesday?!

What. A. Day!

Breakfast, playtime, reading, lunch, nap, playtime, dinner, bath, bed....repeat!

I'm already in bed. Tomorrow I plan to take it easy. It is Veterans Day and we have a real live Veteran in the house. :)

I wish I had more to share. I did order a Honey Baked Ham today for Thanksgiving. Grand total $102. I never imagine ham costs so much. That was a trip to MAC or Sephora. But it's no problem. It's for a great day with family. And for that, I have no complaints.


Everyone in my house is asleep. I think I will join them.

Until Tomorrow....

Thankful Tuesday

Life observations: If you don't give, you won't receive. And if you give all of yourself, you can't be whole.

I had this thought while driving this afternoon. I truly believe this. When you five of yourself in life, you will receive blessings tenfold. On the flip side, you don't want to give all of yourself. A friend told me, life is about balance.

I wish all of my family and friends and happy and balanced life.

Until tomorrow...

Date night....

So I had aplan to write a wonderful blog about the movie

For Colored Girls.

However, I have been asked out (at home) to a 9pm movie night.

So I will save my thoughts until tomorrow.

It's time to bathe the kids and then I have a date.

I will use this time to relax and enjoy the rest of my Monday night.

Until tomorrow!

TGIF!

Fly by Friday.

My day went by crazy fast and in a hurry!

Right now I am at my computer with a little Halloween candy and a glass of water...I know, I know

Super exciting life I live here. :)

The weekend is upon us and I will be super busy.

I am attending a birthday party of a fabulous diva friend!

And I am having a GNO (Girls Night Out) to check out a new movie.

I hope your weekend is well, I will check in on Saturday and Sunday!

I'm proud that I kept up with NaBloPoMo

Five days straight blogging!

Here is to the rest of the month.

Until tomorrow....

Thankful Thursday!

Another stressful day behind me!

It wasn't much different than yesterday, so I have no new funny or insightful messages.

I do, however, have a funny video. 

It's the funniest thing, my 15 month old son, will not say his own name.

If you ask him his name he replies, "I'm Jaden."

His name is Jaxon, by the way....lol!

It's thankful Thursday for me.

I am thankful for my health, sanity, family, and friends.

I plan to spend some time with the girls this weekend. I am sooo excited!

It was long overdue and well deserved if I might add. :)

Enjoy your night and always be thankful!

;)

What's your name?

What. A. Day!

Let me start by saying I love my children.

However, I am quite certain today they were out to get me!

Where do I begin?

They woke up an hour early and were ready to GO!

First up, a stop in Target, which was pretty uneventful.

It's when we returned home from our shopping trip, that everything changed!

First was almost an entire bottle of ketchup on my youngest sons head, on my kitchen chair, and on the floor.

All of that while I vacuumed the living room.

And you'd think that my youngest son would be begging for mercy.

Nope, he just sits there and lets his older brother torture him!

Then it was my favorite part of the day....NAP TIME!

My youngest son went to sleep without a hitch!

My three year old son....not a chance!

In fact, he didn't take a nap at all!

All day he was on a "torture my little brother" kick.

So, needless to say, I had a pretty stressful, hectic day!

But what else is to be expected in the life of a stay at home Mom?

This is what I signed up for.

And truth be told,  I wouldn't change these time with my boys for anything in this world!

Now the boys are sleeping and the house is quiet!

I am going to have a glass of something and read a few chapters of a book.

Until tomorrow......

Election Day 2010!

I love election day!

It's important for me to honor my ancestors and make sure my vote counts.

My grandmother wasn't able to vote until she was 21 years old.  And only because it wasn't legal before that.

I make sure that I participate in every election.

Jacqueline voting since 1998.

Ahh, what a day, what a day!

I won't site here and profess some crazy, hectic day.

In fact, I'll be downright honest..from 8am-1pm I was pretty damn NOT productive!

I watched Dora, Fresh Beat Band, and Go Diego Go!

It was actually quite relaxing.

Luckily the second part of the day I picked up some steam.

I did all the laundry, loaded the dishwasher, and made sure dinner was made.

All in a days work!

I thought since I will be blogging every day this month, I should have a theme each day of the week.

Just a little something to keep me going and bring some fun.

It's Tuesday, so let me think of something fun.....

How about Thrifty Tuesday?!

I can share what thrifty purchases I have made, if any.

Today I purchased 75 photo prints for $4.42 shipping and handling only.

Thanks to Freebies4Mom

National Blog Posting Month! NaBloPoMo

I am throwing my hat in the ring to blog for thirty days in the month of November.  I have actually posted consecutively this week, so let's see if I can keep this up! 

Yesterday was Halloween and I have two young sons.  My oldest son is three years old and my youngest is 15 months old.  So this was the first time we got into the Halloween spirit outside of our own block.  We took advice from an article in the local newspaper to go trick or treating in the best neighborhood in town.  The article was right on, the neighborhood was all decorated and very festive.  However, we weren't the only to see the article, the neighborhood was packed!  After 3-4 blocks and enough candy for two little children, we made out way home. 

Here are a few pictures of the little ones.  I had a San Diego charger, Vincent Jackson and SpongeBob Squarepants for a day! :)
