I think we will have a treat tonight and go out to dinner. I really am not in the mood to cook and I have a hankering for Chinese. There is a great Chinese buffet not too far from the house, that we all love. It is a very large buffet with a dessert bar as well. The kids really love that part. I let them make their own plates, ecept for the little guy, but he goes with me and chooses what he wants. He makes pretty good choices since he loves all types of foods. I love that my kids are not picky eaters. It makes for a much easier life, not having to worry about that. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great night. Later Gators!
Joy joy
Well the weather has turned a bit nasty outside. Not only has it been very cold, but now it is raining. Unfortunately it is not cold enough to snow. We just get this cold wet rain that makes everyone miserable. I hope that it doesn’t go down to freezing tonight, or we will have nothing but ice in the morning. That would not be good. Snow is good, ice is bad.
The kids are hoping that it will snow, but the weather man says that the rain is going to pass us by and there will be no snow. Poor babes want to build a snowman. I want to have a nice snowball fight with them. Hopefully, we can have a white Christmas and everyone will be happy.
Poor dad
My dad is getting hearing aid reviews , because he is losing his hearing. He has been fighting it for a long time now, but has finally given in over it. We all had to sit him down and tell him that we are tired of yelling just to speak to him. His life would be so much easier, if he gets a hearing aid. Not to mention, mom won’t have to worry about headaches from the TV being up too loud.
Date night
Tonight is our date night. The kids are at my sisters house and we are going out to the comedy club to have some laughs. We are going to have dinner and probably a little dancing later on. I am so excited. I can’t wait for him to get home. We haven’t had a date night in a while. Life sometimes gets in the way and we tend to forget to take some time for ourselves. I am going to start writing it on a calender for at least once every two weeks. I don’t have to have e very week, but every other week is a definite must. Have a great night, I know I will.
Parts for Jeeps
My boyfriend has a Jeep that we use for off roading. He is very proud of this Jeep and keeps it in pristine condition. Finding after market parts for it used to be a problem, until he found Kentrol truck parts manufacturer. They have all of the stuff he could ever want to fix up his Jeep. Warrior Reviews can tell you all about Kentrol and what they do. We have bought a lot of parts through them and have plans to buy much more in the future.
They have stainless steel accessories that we really want to use on the Jeep, from bug sheilds, bumper, door and hood accessories to grill guards. I have never seen so many parts that could be used on his truck. One of the most recent things we put on the truck, was a Safari Sports Rack. Since we love to camp, we can load all of the camping equipment up on top and not have to worry about space. That is a major plus when you have kids and it’s a family camping trip. We always need a LOT of stuff to go camping. Now it’s not a problem anymore.
My man was reading about some of their stuff on Warrior Reviews and found that they have body armor for his truck. Now, he wants to put stainless body armor on the truck as well. I think it would look amazing like that, but I am not sure about it all being stainless. I am sure he knows what he is doing and it is his truck after all. He has really good taste too, so it’s all good. My oldest son is enjoying helping him fix the truck up. He makes sure to have my son there, and spend that time together. My son is now a serious Jeep enthusiast.

All the leaves have fallen
The trees are practically empty now and the time has come to rake them up and burn them. I love the smell of the leaves burning in the chill air. I think this is a project for this weekend. I will get the kids out there with me and we will use the leaf blower and rakes to clean up the yard. We shouldn’t have to do much more to the yard throughout the winter after this weekend.
So cold
It is amazingly cold this morning. I had to bundle the kids up really good before they could go catch the bus. I think I will make a big pot of Chili for dinner tonight. I love making stews, chili and such when the weather is cold. It seems like it really warms you up from the inside out.
Time to clean the carpets
The time has come to do some carpet cleaning. It has been a long while since I have had this done and the carpets are looking ragged. Kids have a tendency to track in everything under the sun and spill everything they hold in their hands. Mine are no different. I try to keep them from doing this with certain rules about removing muddy shoes or no carrying food into other rooms, but we all know how well that works. Pretty much not at all. I am considering cleaning them more often.
My carpets are not that old. I had them put in when I bought this house five years ago and they should last a long time. Keeping them cleaned will help with that. I am also going to have to be firmer with the kids about taking drinks into the living room. I have such a weak spot when it comes to them. I wonder if I should have to couches done as well? That might be a good idea, as they are a couple of spots on them from spills. Although those were not from the kids. Those happened when an outdoor BBQ got rained on and everyone had to move inside. Oh well, I will decide later on that.
Cool planetarium
I would so love to take my kids here. This is a really cool looking place. The kids love to go to the planetarium. They have been on field trips there before and are always begging me to take them back. I would really like to take them to a larger one, but even more, I want to take them to an observatory. That would be amazingly cool.
Late start today
I went back to bed after getting the kids off to school this morning and slept until eleven thirty. I cannot believe I slept so long. I wasn’t feeling that well though and I guess my body needed the rest. Now my day is half gone and I have a ton of stuff to get done before the kids get home. I am pretty sure that I won’t finish all of it, as I still feel a little off. I can only hope that whatever laid me out this morning, doesn’t affect the kids and doesn’t get any worse. Wish me luck.
