Christmas decorations

Well the time has come to put up the Christmas tree and decorations. I dug everything we need out of the attic yesterday and will go through all of it to separate and get ready to go up. Apparently last year when I took everything down, I didn’t do the separation as I should have. I really wish I had taken the time to do that. I will have to remember to do it this year.

I usually take everything down on January first, which is why it is a tangled mess. Like everyone else I am usually tired from being up late the night before. Maybe will will wait to take it all down the following weekend. Then I won’t have to deal with this mess next year. I think that sounds like a plan. Well wish me luck with this, because it is going to take the rest of today and all of tomorrow to do. We have a lot of decorations.

Already over

I cannot believe this year is almost over already. It seems like it passed by so very fast. 2013 will be here in another month. I hope that it is better then this past year has been. This year has been difficult for everyone, I know. I am looking forward to a new year. I have high hopes for work and life in general. I am planning a vacation, because I am way over due for one. I think that somewhere in the Bahamas or the Caribbean in general will be just what I need. So Happy Holidays to all and now it is time to think about my Christmas shopping list. Later Gators.

Repair manuals

Gosh, repair manuals are expensive. It cost like thirty dollars for a repair manual for a vehicle. Some are more than that, but basic cars and trucks are averaged about the same. I cannot believe how much they charge for them. I guess we don’t have a choice though if we are going to re build this car. It is a project for us to do together. Yes, as a woman, I like to work on cars and learn more about them. It makes it much easier to know what is going on with mine and not to get taken in if I have to take it to a garage.

Cleaning time

Time for me to crank up the music and clean the house. I can get so much more done when the kids are not at home. I just play my favorite music and clean, clean, clean. I will be tired by the end of the day, because the house got trashed over the weekend, and yesterday I was out all day running errands so couldn’t do it. Okay, then. Off I go.

Time for breakfast

I think I will go make a small breakfast for me and my little guy. Some cream of wheat and scrambled eggs sounds divine right now. Maybe I will add a little toast on the side with jelly. I know he will like that.

He hasn’t been eating much lately, so I have to find something to tempt his appetite. This looks good, with a little fruit on the top.

Tutoring Online Can help Kids

I have found an awesome site for tutoring online that can help kids struggling with their schoolwork. A tutor is sometimes necessary for kids in school. There are many different ways to take advantage of the website and the resources they have. You can join and post questions on the Q & A board or you can get one on one tutoring if you so need. You can also help others by answering questions in the Q & A board, if you know the answers. It is all very interactive with real, live people.

I think this is a great tool for kids to use, no matter what grade they are in. I am definitely going to be making use of this with my kids, when they run into problems that I cannot handle myself. Most of the time, I help them, but sometimes it is hard to help all three kids at the same time. I know with this, I can at least set my oldest child up with someone knowledgeable to help him.

Happy Halloween

Just a little shout out to all of the goblins and monsters out there. Have a great time Trick or Treating and if you aren’t doing that then drive safely to whatever parties you attend.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, because it is just so much fun. What is your favorite Holiday?

Movin right along

Well, I am cooking like a fiend already. Baking even before the holidays arrive. I made a pumpkin pie already as well as cookies. I have the makings for a Flan that I am going to make soon as well. Plus, I have to get a new food processor so I can make some of my Christmas cookies this year. You would not believe how much I use a food processor. I totally burnt the other one out in just two years. That is totally amazing.

My mother just laughs about it and says I am doing well if I can burn out a FP in that amount of time. Personally I think I need to buy a much better one than the last one was. Anyway, I am sure to gain some weight with all of this cooking.

I want to visit this place

Right about now, I would give just about anything to be on this beach relaxing. Winter is fast approaching and I am not looking forward to it at all this year.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be a really  hard winter, since last year was very mild. We had a lot of rain and practically no snow or ice. Calgon take me away !

Outback

I had the best dinner last night. I went to the Outback Steakhouse with the girls for dinner. We were supposed to go to a movie, but were enjoying the atmosphere so much, we ended up staying there after dinner. We just moved our party into the bar and watched the game that was playing on the TV. I am sure that their husbands are going to get a laugh over that one. I certainly am.
