My friend just popped by on her way home from work and brought me some goodies from her job. She works at Buffalo Wild Wings and I just love there food and she knows it. Lemon pepper wings, onion rings and potato wedges. So fattening, but soooo good. I am in heaven. =)
Child support
Waiting on child support each month can be such a pain. On one hand, I know that he is having a rough time of it and on the other hand, I have bills to pay, school supplies to buy as well as school clothes. I try not to be demanding or anything and keep our friendship easy going for the kids sake, but sometimes it isn’t easy. There is so much going on with summer, and quite frankly I need him to be on time with his payments. Makes life so much easier for me and for the kids.
Summer is in full swing
Summer is in full swing and we are having a blast. Between our times at the pool or the river and the ever present BBQ’s, we have been constantly on the go for the last week. I made the decision to see that we spent as much time out of the house this summer as possible and I am keeping that promise. Last summer was rather boring for all of us and we really don’t want a repeat of the same. I know that the kids are having lots of fun and even when we are home, they are outside having fun. The neighbors have a pool and the neighborhood kids are pretty much camped out there.
The mother of those children says she doesn’t mind and the rest of us go spend an hour or two helping referee the kids as well as helping with snacks and such so she doesn’t have to bear the brunt of the cost. I know how it is to have the neighbor kids at my house to hang out. They will eat you out of house and home in just a couple of days..lol
Stair lifts
Have you ever seen a stair lift in action? I got to see one yesterday when I stopped by my neighbors house to see if she needed anything from the store. I didn’t know that she had gotten one put in, but it was really cool. I am happy that she is safer now that she has one, because she has had such a hard time walking lately. They are really a great thing for an elderly person to have.
Birthday celebration for my oldest
Well he turns fourteen this year and I am trying to plan an awesome party for him. He want’s to invite a bunch of friends and I have to figure out something that is age appropriate for them to do. If I make it too cutesy he will no be happy, but I have to stay within my budget as well.
I am thinking about a paintball party. There is a paintball field near here and they rent out the guns and gear right there at the field. I called them to ask about party prices and they are relatively good price wise.
However, the parents all have to sign a waiver to allow them to play and I don’t think all of the parents will be attending. I wonder if I can get the permission slips before hand and have them fill them out. Not sure if that will work, but it is worth a try.
Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow
This is an amazing song. I love these two and having them do a song together made me so happy. It’s not the only one that they have done together, but it is the first and best as far as I am concerned. Maybe I will post the other one later. I know everyone will love it.
Teen weekend
Some of my daughters friends are coming to spend the weekend. I forsee me pulling my hair out by the roots before it is all over. The boys will want to hang out with the girls and the girls will want to be left alone to do their thing. Ah well, I will have to find something to keep the boys occupied and out of their hair. Might be a good idea to go rent a few X-Box games for the boys.

Happy Valentines day to all
I just wanted to send out a Happy Valentines Day to everyone! Today is a great day to spend with your loved ones and let each other know how much you appreciate them. I have already gotten a few little presents for the kids and will make them a special dinner. Hope your day is as great as mine is.
Wine with dinner
I am having a dinner party at my house for a few friends and my boyfriend. My mother is taking the kids for the weekend, so I can have some adult time. I am making a Chicken Bruschetta with angel hair pasta, a spinach salad and garlic rolls. I want to have a nice Chardonnay with it because white wine goes best with chicken. I have made this dish plenty of times and even the kids love it.
It has been a long time since I have been able to have a dinner party like this. I will have to buy several bottles of wine, and I might even have a little champagne to toast with. I haven’t made up my mind on that one. I plan to get one of those word games for us to play as well after dinner. I used to have one, but the kids lost a lot of the question and answer cards to it. They have a lot of new ones out now anyway. I think one of the Pictionary games would be best. They have a few different kind of them for me to chose from. I also will break out the Jenga game as well. I really love to play that one. Once the wine starts flowing, it gets really fun.
