What? An update?

I'm going to attempt to update this today. It's been quite a few weeks. Where do I begin? I hate my 'so-called-job'. They haven't given me hours in well, almost a month. Yes you read that right? I had 4 1/2 hours this past Sunday & the only reason I had those was because I called in. :| I need a new job. I've put in application after application, but nothing seems to be coming thru. :( hmph.

Keegan is really sick. He has projectile puked on me two days in a row. Now it's only been one time yesterday and one time today, but I feel so bad for him. :( I just wish he felt a little better. We're doing Pedialyte & crackers. and that's a struggle, because well Keegan HATES Pedialyte. I mean he refuses to drink it! So I've been attempting to mix it with juice per his pediatrician's suggestion. I hope this virus passes soon!

Justin is doing great in school! He got a 100 on his last test & made the Director's List for his Marine Theory 1 & 2 Courses. He's tickled pink. I'm so very proud of him! He has a 4.0 too! ;) I was so afraid that we were going to get down here and he was going to let being back in this big city get to his head and party away this education, but he's done much better than I had originally thought! He's working his booty off studying and working all week! He deserves these achievements! I'm so proud of him! (I think I already said that but oh well :P)

On to more me I guess. I have a very big, exciting birthday coming up! ;) in 17 days! & even more exciting, my mom is coming to visit the weekend after my birthday! I can't wait to see her! It will be a little over 3 months since I've seen her! I can't wait! I've been CT'ing for Mandy {but of course}, Robyn {from Chubby Cheeks aka Robyn's Chic Scraps} and now Robyn from Scrapper Girl Designs! I'm loving it! Check out my Squishy Scraps Blog to view some of the goodness ;) I guess that's all for now! I'm so stinkin' beat!

Until next time,

So I'm definitely blogging about her exciting milestone, because well hello this is the prize she's offering:

Friday Fill-Ins #124, I guess #123 got lost ;)

ICK! I'm such a bad blogger! I totally didn't do this last week, so for the first time since I've joined into this meme, I'm missing one.. Oh well I guess...



And...here we go!

1. If we had no winter the world would be hot all year round (Oh wait, Florida is hot all year 'round :| - I miss Virginia!).

2. Life is a perpetual astonishment.

3. If I had my life to live over I wouldn't because everything happens for a reason.

4. I'm mama inside of four and twenty hours.

5. If you've never been thrilled ride a rollercoaster.

6. To be interested in the changing seasons you need to experience them & live where you get SNOW.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to scrapping with Mandy's new kit, tomorrow my plans include the boat show in Daytona with Squishy & Munchkin Butt and Sunday, I want to relax, but I have lots o laundry!


Until next time,

Mother's Day in Clearwater

I had an awesome day. I love my honey! He got me a sweet card and then preceded to tell me how hard it was to find a mother's day card from a boyfriend. LOL. He's a nerd! We had seafood for lunch, and it was delicious! I looooove shrimp! Here's the view from the restaurant we ate at & really this picture doesn't do it justice! It was such a beautiful day! {Click to get it bigger ;)}



Keegan had a ball in the water. It was our first time to the Gulf and I'm not sure I'm going to want to ever get in any other body of water again. It was so warm and so clear! I was really surprised by it! On that note it was also the saltiest water I've ever been in. lol. Here's some more pics! No laughing :|

[ He's trying to be independent! ]

[ LOL - see the sand flying! ]

[ i love this <3 ]

[ :) he's such a sweetie! ]

[ sooo purty ]

Needless to say, it was the best time we've had in a long time out. :) On that note that's all for now!

Until next time,
