2009-04-17T20:05:00.005-04:00

It was so nice out today! I went to work this morning till about 10 and came home and spent the whole day at home!! I read a little outside, did a little laundry, played outside with Jake a little. Bobby came home after school and picked up Jake to bring him to work with him he was soooo happy, Big Bob brought the Harley to work today so Jake couldn't go with him :( he was sad.

So Bobby and I went into Holden to drive by a house that we are looking at, The owner and the realtor happened to be there and they had just gotten done showing it to some other peeps, so they said we could come in and see it. I liked it the inside was all renovated, the outside was kind of crappy but its the inside that matters to me, There is a 3 car garage that has a bathroom in it and a drain already built into the floor it was insulated and heated!! Needless to say, Bobby LOVED it.

Bobby has been doing a lot of work on his Deuce and it looks so good! I am adding a few pics of it :)

Easter Sunday 2009 funnn day! :)

Easter 2009

2009-04-16T16:43:00.004-04:00

This was a great Easter, first I was supposed to work and one of the kids asked me if I wanted him to work for me!! DUH are you kidding me lol.

Grampa had a Heart attack this week and was in the hospital for a few days and he ended up coming to our house for dinner and it was so good to have everyone here, Bobby and I, Amanda, Melisa, Bobby,Rob, David, Karen,Chris, Jess,Timmy,Jake, Rue,Chayce, Nia and even Bobby's G/F Meg came over later that night. I LOVE having family around me ex specially on the holidays!!

We had a ham dinner and lots of goodies to go with it we just ate and ate all day haha I love it!!

On Monday Patty and Chris invited us over to her house on Monday for dinner, we all went except Melisa, she had to work that day. It was so awesome to get together with them we never get to see each other with her working third shift!

2009-04-05T20:00:00.002-04:00

This was a good weekend for the most part,
Saturday was pretty uneventful I worked at the Post Office in the morning and came home and hung out most of the day and watched tv and hung around the house.
Sunday we went for a bike ride to NH it was sooo ccccold its a little early for the bike for me!
Melisa and David got a new puppy today and her name is Nia so so so cute!!

2009-03-29T19:46:00.001-04:00

a few more pictures of the house

almost time to move on

can't wait to start making new memories

and taking new pictures :)

memories...........

2009-03-29T19:36:00.002-04:00

Some of the things I will always remember are the trees we grew for mom and dad in 1996 and in 1999, The chalk drawings in the cellar from when the kids used to play down there, the trees all around the rocks that the kids always climbed on when they were little, the trees are all so big now almost hiding the rocks, The kids used to roller blade and ride their bikes all around on the first floor! It had to be one of the coolest houses to grow up in!

1990~~~~2009

2009-03-29T19:16:00.003-04:00

There will never be so many memories at any other house that we live in but we will still make great memories wherever we go they will just be different kind of memories with a lot of new people and new family and new friends :)

Leaving Oakham??

2009-03-29T19:03:00.003-04:00

So some people have come to look at the house and they came back for a second look but we have not heard anything yet. I kind of wish I knew what we are going to do or where we are going to go when we leave there, I think about it a little more each day as I look at things around the house inside and out and think, this will be the last time I ever see this or that, that was our last winter ever at our house, I try to take it all in so I will never forget any of it and I can't even imagine anyone else ever being in my house or looking out my windows and hearing the birds that are on my roof every morning tapping or singing for the last 18 years....

2009-03-29T18:50:00.003-04:00

the rest of the week we pretty much just hung around the houses, one day Amanda Rob and I wet to the outlet stores in Anthem :)

Rob got Amanda a pair of Oakleys there.

I took a ride with Debbie to Old Town Scottsdale and got a few things there for the house :)

We got lost on the way there it took us like and hour and a half to get there but only a half hour to get home!! HAHA it was fun though.

Al took Amanda and Rob to all the stadiums one morning...Rob is into that kind of stuff lol they didn't make me go yay. they did the football, baseball, basketball, and hockey stadiums.

Sunday Linda had cookout it was our last day there and they had steaks and baked potatoes(Amanda's favorite!)

It was a great vacation and I miss everyone so much already, I better start watching them cheap flights for the fall or winter months :)

2009-03-29T17:58:00.002-04:00

So the ride home from CA was very long, in the morning we went out to breakfast and then we went to Seal Beach they were filming a movie there so we didn't stay there, to many people and cars and equipment! We went to Huntington Beach and hit a few stores and Starbucks and the pier, we saw surfers and a couple dolphins in the water! SO COOL! we started back home around 3pm and the traffic was horrible! I drove all the way till we hit the Arizona line and then Rob drove for the last 100 miles or so. My eyes were so tired by then I was really glad that he offered to drive. We stopped for gas in Anthem and to clean the bugs off the windshield and when Rob got out to clean it his very expensive Oakley glasses fell out the door and he didn't notice so they were lost :(

its been to long!

2009-03-29T16:31:00.003-04:00

So I have been on this thing for s long I will just update what I can remember, First off the trip to AZ was AMAZING! I had so much fun and there was almost zero stress! We went to the Grand Canyon and Linda came with us, it was so pretty there it was kind of crowded there I was surprised probably because it wa spring break. I just love going there it is so cool how you drive up this road for about 60miles and there is nothing but desert and then BAM the grand canyon is at the end of it, it was a beautiful day when we got there hot and sunny :)

The next day we got up about 9ish and drove to California Me, Linda, Amanda and Rob. It was such a long ride we didn't get there till about 4pm, we stopped at Denny's for breakfast and stopped a BUNCH of times for cigg. breaks!! WINDA-WOO! she wanted o smoke in the car!! EEEWWWWW

When we got to Cali we went to Greg and Jamies house we went for a walk around their neighborhood, it was so nice out. CA is perfect for weather but not so perfect for how many people and cars are there! OMG it was awful on the highway. Jamie cooked us dinner :) and after we played a little wii bowling, then we went to downtown Disney and got some souvenirs, we got to see fireworks YAYYYYYY my favorite.

When we got home to the Senecals everyone was kind of tired (except Linda) lol she wanted to PARTY!! Amanda Linda and Rob all slept in the camper and I slept in the house, I just couldn't sleep in a camper....I am so difficult!

2009-03-02T11:27:00.000-05:00

Happy 22nd Birthday Amanda :)

I LOVE YOU!!!

2009-02-25T17:30:00.002-05:00

Oh man 17 days I'm not sure I can stand waiting that long!!

2009-02-09T10:06:00.001-05:00

back to work this week at the hospital after being out for 2 weeks with a sprained ankle, I have to say I was loving not going there for 2 weeks it was nice to just work one job and take care of the house chores :)
But like they say all good things must come to an end, and I am REALLY missing SOME of my co-workers :)

more snow this morning

2009-01-31T21:53:00.003-05:00

It was so beautiful outside this morning when I got up I had to go hobbling out ( oh I sprained my ankle at work) and take some pics :)

I am getting so tired of snow but it is just so pretty I never get tired of seeing it right after it snows it was actually sparkling :)

So the other day at work I am walking in the basement at the hospital and slip on a little puddle of water and sprained my ankle, I had to spend a few hours in the ER thank GOD they took me right into a room, but EVERYONE that walked by had to stop and say "what happened to you??" That had to be at least 40 people lol it was so embarrassing but it was cool that so many people cared what what wrong with me, I'm sure I was the gossip convo the next day there lol. I left there with an air cast and crutches and they won't let me back to work for prob 2 weeks because they are being super careful about when I return because it happened at work!! I am actually bored haha there is only so much cleaning a person can do, with an air cast on that is!

Well at least I get to watch the super bowl it was my weekend to work and I wouldn't have gotten to see much of it.

ummm..

lets see...

Sorry Ben and Lashelle...

Go Arizona :)

Eagles and Steelers and as much as I hate to say it I think the Steelers will win they kicked ass today :)

2009-01-10T19:41:00.002-05:00

First he stacked a cord of wood, that was supposed to be 2 cords, that is what we paid for, he knew it was only one as soon as he looked at it,I really don't know how people can be so rude and try and get away with something like that!! GRRRRRR

After that he got to work on his R/C car, he LOVES his cars and they are like show cars :)

After that we watched the Ravens/Titans football game, I picked the Ravens, and they won!!

I made Corned beef and cabbage and it was soooooo good, I also worked at the Post Office this morning until 12:30,

I'm going to attempt to make home made hot chocolate :)

Oh I watched the movie Chocolat today haha good movie

This was Bobby's and My Saturday.....

another snow storm....................

2009-01-09T16:01:00.003-05:00

So we had more snow yesterday and it was so beautiful outside, I do love how it looks but I hate how dirty it gets my car! Amanda and Chayce came over for the day and we went to WalMart, came home and cleaned the house , yes AMANDA helped me clean!! I made supper and Rob came over after work but he had to leave right away and go all the way back to work, I felt bad for him, he came back to eat again later :)

2009-01-07T10:05:00.003-05:00

I'm soooo tired I wish my Arizona vacation was sooner I don't know if I'm gonna make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha I'll make it but I am so over tired its really not funny, I go to work in the morning its dark and everyone is sleeping,
I come home at night its dark and everyone is sleeping
I feel like I live alone sometimes, but then I see the mess that everyone leaves around the house for me to clean up and I'm reminded that I don't live alone :)

Time for some eggs over medium and toast and orange juice :)

I LOVE breakfast

Well its Saturday and its my weekend to work so there wont be much to write about I'm sure..

I'm gonna wash that grey right outta my hair later this morning when Kristy comes :) YAYYY its been a while lol, I think I might be the only one who notices it.
I'm working at StV's tonight till 11 boooo but I get to hang with the "homies" haha I haven't seen them for a few days so there is always a ton of gossip to catch up on, maybeeeee Melisa will let me bring her laptop to work with me :)
So my middle child is now 20 years old!!! OMG how did that happen I know people say it all the time but it really does seem like she was just a little kid not to long ago, it kind of scares me and I hope I am around for a looooonnnnggg time to see how my awesome kids lifes turn out I can't wait to see what amazing things they will do but I also don't want to rush it. OK thats enough of that I'm gonna go listen to my new Britney Spears CD and clean a little ( who says I'm getting old!)

Amanda got a new puppy

2008-12-29T16:42:00.003-05:00

Merry Christmas Sampson we love you and miss you sooo much! <3

Amanda got the cutest puppy for Christmas. I heard a rumor that someone else got a puppy but I haven't seen any pics yet hmmmm maybe it is just a rumor

Jake loves the new puppy Chayse. I put in a video I made with Sampson about a month before he went to doggie Heaven into the DVD player and it was an extreme close up of him and Jake was sitting near me and when he saw Sampson on the screen he went up to the TV and was sniffing it it was so cool I really think he knew it was his buddy Sampson!!! It was so strange and cute and sad all at the same time! We really miss our buddy Sampson, I miss him barking to let me know that someone is at our house, Jake would let the boogie man in the house and kiss him while he was breaking-in!

Best Christmas :)

2008-12-29T16:31:00.003-05:00

Here are some pics from Christmas we had the best Christmas :)

Well, I'm as ready as I'm gonna get for this Christmas. I got up early this morning ...very early ..and drove Bobby to work(Patty still has his car) and then I got myself to work for 6:30am I worked for a few hours, went and got a few more scratch tix and gift cards, came home and did a bunch of baking :) <~favorite part!
Now I am going to work 2:30/11:00Pm I'm hoping that Bobby will have all the veggies and turkey ready to go when I get home tonight so I can just do the "Santa Claus" stuff and go to bed. I have confidence that he WILL have it finished :) <~ he is my real favorite part <3

Amanda and Rob will be staying over tonight...ahem, yes in separate rooms... and we will finally get a chance to meet the new addition to the family!! ~~~ Chayce ~~~ he is the new puppy that they are getting on Christmas Eve

I hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy and Blessed Christmas!!

2008-12-23T12:39:00.002-05:00

I went here today to get a fresh turkey for Christmas dinner this morning!! I never got one from a farm before and they are supposed to taste so much better, I can't wait! I LOVE turkey :)

I also got all the rest of the stuff that I needed for the dinner so I do not have to go into a store again before Christmas!! ( but I most likely will haha )

I'm working tonight 2:30~11:00 booooooo I hope it a quiet night.

2008-12-22T07:12:00.001-05:00

2008-12-21T11:26:00.004-05:00

Its Sunday and we are having ANOTHER 5-10 inches of snow today! I went to work yesterday in the Jetta and made it fine that car is awesome I love my V-DUB :)

Today I have to drive Bob to sears he is working 2:30 to 11Pm same hours as me so I will just drive him because he said his car got stuck in Fridays storm but I think he just wanted Amanda and Rob to come plow the way in front of him. I'll tell you I don't know where that kid came from he is nothing like the rest of us?? I guess he's the kind of kid only a mother could love! J/K Bob you know we love you..........................

So life has been kind of crazy with all the snow and ice the last few weeks but we are all getting through it. At least we will have a white Christmas :) YAY

Amanda and Rob are at the Patriots football game today! GO PATS!!!!!!!!!

2008-12-19T12:29:00.003-05:00

Soooo we are supposed to get another storm today starting this afternoon and going till Sat am sometime and they are saying 12 inches of snow and up to 40mph winds...power please stay on????

The only bad thing is that I have to work all weekend and I hope I can get there safely, the news is saying another storm on Sunday also but not as bad, I hope its not a bad one on Sunday because Amanda is going to the Patriots/Arizona game :) LUCKY

So not much is new its been really cold this week around here, I worked most of the week and this is my weekend on to work so eehh I don't even mind though because its almost Christmas YAYYY

This morning I went out for breakfast with Amanda :)then we went to the Auburn Mall, then we left and went back to the Auburn mall, Amanda wanted to buy the new Britney Spears CD and forgot to get it the first time we were there! After I dropped her off I went to Wal-Mart in Leicester to pick up my pictures I had developed and got GiGi a few frames to put pics in for Christmas :) when I got home I realized that one of the frames I bought didn't have any glass in it!!! grrrr Now I need to make another wal-Mart trip haha I'm always there anyway!

I made a double batch of home made choc chip cookies today and that took up most of my afternoon, I wrapped a few gifts, now I'm making supper for the hubby and myself.

That was my exciting day off :)

2008-11-30T09:31:00.000-05:00

So Saturday I worked the morning at the post office it is getting so much busier because of Christmas!! But I love that busy time it gets me more in the Christmas mood :)
After work I went to Greenwood to meet with Bobby and Amanda met me there we were all gonna go to BJ's to look around but Bobby ended up staying at work to work on lil Bobby's truck, it is looking really good and now he found out that it still needs a bunch of front end parts to!! Lil Bobby's truck = $ Money Pit $ It will be really nice though when its finished.
So Amanda, Karen, Rob and I went shopping for the day OMG I saw the COOLEST Ed Hardy sweatshirt that I LOVE!! I would never in my life pay $200.00 for a sweatshirt even if I was rich...which I am most def. NOT! haha but anywhooo its nice to dream lol j/k its just a stupid shirt.
I had fun shopping with everyone, then we brought Bobby Papa Gino's his favorite pizza. Went home and didn't do much watch some holiday movies :) :) the Santa Claus 2 I think it was.
Today we are supposed to set up the Christmas tree and all the other decorations, I might make spaghetti and meatballs if I ever get out of the house to go buy the ingredients. Do a few things that need to be done around the house, I have a list for Bobby :) love you hun...I ALWAYS have a list for him. He's the best <3

Friday.......

2008-11-28T18:15:00.000-05:00

Worked all day today (black Friday) at the Post Office..no lines there.. SUPER boring day!

Its all good I got some ..online... shopping done...but not at work of course :)

I was going to go to BJ's tonight and just wander around to see what they have but I'm just to tired, maybe I'll attempt to get the tree down and maybe some decorations...or, maybe I'll hit the couch after I make my sloppy joes and do absolutely NOTHING tonight :)

2008-11-28T18:05:00.000-05:00

Thanksgiving was a good day, we got up and went to Dunkins..of course! Then we went to Janice's, she made me a squash pie :)
When we got home Todd was at the house to pick up his quad to take it out for the day with him and his family. We went to Karen and Dave's for dinner, she had it early so Melisa and I could eat before we went to work, it was soooo good and so much food :) Work wasn't to bad it had a few busy splirts but mostly I was sad all night thinking that it was the last night I would be working with Robin :( she starts her new job on Monday and I am so unbelievably sad about not working with her anymore. Her mom sent plates of turkey dinner up to the hospital for all of us she is so awesome ((THANK YOU MARILYN )) we had turkey and all the fixings and salads and rolls yummmmmm.
It was almost time to leave for the night and Robin picked up one more call and I said my goodbyes to her and of course I started crying I hate that I can't hold in my emotions!!
So that was my Thanksgiving 2008

2008-11-27T11:20:00.000-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

what day is this again??

2008-11-26T10:05:00.000-05:00

Fun Fun we made gingerbread houses and uhhhem...boxes last night :)

I love when the kids still do this kind of stuff with me, when they were little we ALWAYS did little crafty stuff. Even lil Bobby made one!! Its so funny that we still say lil Bobby and he is taller then his dad.

Melisa had to work so she didn't make one, although I'm not so sure she would have wanted to??!! She doesn't seem to be into that kind of stuff but you never know with her :)

So I worked in the morning yesterday till about 10ish then came home and did some things around the house(( wrapped gifts shhhh don't tell anyone because I said we were not doing gifts this year)) Amanda don't read that part ok??

I went to a meeting at work and Amanda met me at the hospital and we went to the Millbury Mall to get some ..things... Amanda and Rob came out for dinner and then we made the houses.

Today I worked a few this morning not very long it wasn't even worth me getting up early not much mail at all today typical Wednesday though, it gets me up and going for the day when I get up that early and now I'm going to try and do a lot of stuff thats needs to be done around here today! no dvr no dvr no dvr no dvr no dvr no dvr HAHAHA

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! YAYAYYYYY I love TURKEY

I'm Tired...... :)

2008-11-24T11:57:00.000-05:00

Sunday I slept a little late till about 9 that is VERY late for me :), Grampa showed up with coffees from D&D :) :), I watched football before work, Got to work and it was soooo busy we had to call someone in to help and thank goodness someone came in on a Sunday. For some reason I didn't mind how busy it was though, hmmm could it have been because the Patriots were KICKING BUTT!!!! HELL YEAAAAAH if you didn't know now you know((THE PAT"s WON 48-28 WOOOOO-HOOOOO)) so it was all good at work. Then the third shift person called in sick so my boss begs us all for someone to stay and do a double as it just so happens I didn't have to be at work in the morning at the other job and I didn't have to go in till 2pm Monday so I said, if you give me the day before Thanksgiving off I will work the overnight and he said yes soooo I did it and I didn't stop the whole night!! I am so exhausted and I only could sleep for like 3 hours when I got home this morning because it wasn't dark out.
So now I'm up and getting ready for work again, I feel like my life is that movie Groundhog day! LOL

Oh...Amanda made a BLOG!!!!!! yayayyyyyyy

Well its Saturday and I worked the Post office this morning and am working at the hospital tonight, I think this is the last time I will be working with Robin on my weekend because she got a new job and I'm gonna miss her like crazy!!

Bobby is pulling the frame on lil Bob's truck today at work and they are going to put the exhaust on it I am hoping that they get most of it done in one day so he can start driving it soon.

So its getting really cold around here like in the teens cold! Man do I HATE winter I would like to live someplace where it is spring like or fall like temps all year round no hot summer and no cold winter, anyone know of a place like that???

Amanda is taking her MTELS this morning can we ALL please please say a prayer for her to do well on the test and pass it??? ( I Love you Amanda Sue ) :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeoi16lScf4 this is so funny :)

2008-11-21T18:19:00.000-05:00

Amanda and Rob are coming over for dinner :) :) :)

I'm just sitting here waiting for them to get here.

So I talked to Linda last night and she was telling me about her Thanksgiving plans and everyone is going to her house, that makes me soooo happy for them because they are all so lucky to have so much family all so close together..even if it gets stressful sometimes there is nothing like your family and no one is gonna love you like your family!! I hope they all realize that and are thankful on thanksgiving day for each other. It also makes me sad, ( for me) I miss them soooo much and wish I could be with them on the holidays. I will be with my hubby and kids and I am so thankful for all of them they are the best, we will be spending the day with Bobby's family and they are all awesome so we will have a great day, Melisa and I have to go to work that day so we will also get to spend time with out friends :)

If I could have a wish come true then Debbie and Linda would come and visit me TOGETHER and we would go and pick up Patty and even David :) and spend the whole day together and talk about old times and all the new things going on in our lives. We would start fresh and put the past in the past...where it belongs!!

WOW I have know idea where all that came from,

So ....hopefully Amanda gets here soon, I'm hungry :)

friday :)

2008-11-21T10:46:00.000-05:00

So yesterday I had a day off :)

I went to Greenwood and got my snow tires put on my car they are so nice I just hope I'm ok without 4-wheel drive~~> fingers crossed :)

Amanda met me there and we went out to a bunch of places checking out Christmas stuff, then we went to get Bobby lunch at John and Sons his favorite Amanda and I got Subway but I ended up giving mine to Bobby's sister. I went home and made Supper to bring to Karen and Dave's because Bobby was working late and helping the put a wall up in their apartment, I came home around 9:30pm and Bobby got home around 11pm, Amanda ended up sleeping at home to but she got here to late and I didn't get to see her :( We bought a gingerbread house kit while we were out and we r gonna put it together next time we get a day off together, lil Bobby said he wants to help us WOW that was a shocker but I'm glad.

Friday morning work at the PO for a few hours in the morning, home to do bank book and clean a little and laundry, back to work in the afternoon 2-5 then the weekend!! :)

To bad I am working this weekend

Tuesday and Wednesday

2008-11-19T05:59:00.000-05:00

So I have to work both jobs Tue+Wed bummer that means leaving the house when its dark out in the morning and everyone is sleeping and coming home from work at night when its dark out and everyone is sleeping! UUGGHH
I really need to find one job and work one shift!
That will pretty much be my mid week, Lil Bobby wants me to "help" him drive his new /used truck to where dad works because it needs the frame pulled a smidge haha so that means doing it kind of sort of illegally through the back roads of town, I am such a rebel haha NOT the only thing is that dad will think we are crazy to do that and probably get mad about it but if we get there safely...(no po-po seeing us) then he won't mind. So that will be my big adventure.Woo-Hooooo
I'll let ya-ll know how it goes.

Snow tires!

2008-11-18T10:13:00.000-05:00

So... this will be my first winter since 1989 without having a 4 wheel drive vehicle!!

I went out and bought new snow tires for my Jetta yesterday I am so scared to drive in the snow without 4 wheel drive and I'm usually not afraid of ANYTHING!! GRRRR haha especially when it comes to driving. I really love my car and I don't want to ruin it in the crappy winter but I wanted a Jetta so bad now I have to see how it goes in the winter, Bobby said he will buff it in the spring because I'm afraid that when the ice freezes on the paint it will dull the paint??? I don't know but I have confidence it WILL get me through the snow storms at 11pm to get me home safe!

Boring day~~~ Good TV night :)

2008-11-16T19:02:00.001-05:00

So its Sunday and we didn't really do much. I got up and fixed a problem at the Post Office. Went and got us Dunkins, came home did some laundry.

Then we went to Greenwood to pick up Lil Bobby's parts that were painted.

Took a ride to Wrights Chicken Farm and I loved it but Bobby hates it there and was miserable so he really ruined my time but Oh well, at least I got to pig out on awesome chicken :) :)

Next time I just won't invite him to come with!

Now I'm just watching the TV and a lot of good shows are on tonight and football is on also!

Bed early and do it all over again this week........ :)

Saturday

2008-11-15T20:51:00.000-05:00

We had a special "Passport Day" at the Post Office today :)

We had a lot of people come in for passports and it was busy the whole morning so it went by really fast!!

I went to Greenwood to clean my car inside and out, I played with Jake there for a while, hung out upstairs in Karen's apartment for a while, they are doing over the floor and it going to look really nice :)

Bobby painted a bunch of parts for lil Bobby's new truck the bumper and fender and stuff..what a good dad he is!! :)

We took a ride to Master Hobbies to get a few parts for the r/c car, then to Hot Dog Annie's.

Then took a ride to Wal-mart for a few more things.

Finally got home around 8pm.

Now we are watching a movie Category 7 the end of the world

Friday 11-14-08

2008-11-14T16:02:00.000-05:00

I went to work this morning at the Post Office, got home around 11:30ish.

Did a little cleaning around here. I am so sick of cleaning this house I think I'll hire a maid, work a few more hours a week to pay for it haha.

I got 2 new netflix movies today both thrillers about the end of the world!! MUAHHH <--scary noise)

I am thinking I'm gonna ask Bobby to go to Wal-Mart with me tonight I need a few things... like slippers that I just bought the other day that Amanda took from my house last night!! And now its cold and rainy out and my feet are cold because I can't light the stupid fire because the maul is to heavy for my weak old lady shoulder!! Grrrrr can you tell I'm not in the best mood today?? :)

So yesterday I found out that I didn't get the job I applied for at the hospital that would have been more money less work and better hours, My best bud Robin got the job and I am soooo happy for her but totally sad and depressed that I will lose our friendship that we have at work. I am going to miss her sooooo much and it is NEVER the same when someone leaves you always say you will keep in touch but life happens and you never do.

So this wasn't the happiest posting but all in all my life is good and I am so thankful for what I have and for my family and my friends and I'm going to post something happier tomorrow

:) :)

what a game......

2008-11-14T06:08:00.000-05:00

WOW

day off!

2008-11-13T10:33:00.001-05:00

So its Thursday and I finally have a day off and wouldn't you know it I have a headache! I am drinking a ton off coffee and hoping that will tale it away :)

Plans for the day,

WATCH THE PATRIOTS BEAT THE JETS, (sorry Brett)

Fun day off!

2008-11-12T13:58:00.000-05:00

November 12,2oo8...thinking of Christmas ..already :)

2008-11-12T13:07:00.000-05:00

So I am still not feeling good but I'm still going to work tonight. :(

I think I might buy a lottery ticket tonight!

I FINALLY get a day off tomorrow wooo-hoooo I might clean my very dirty car, I really need to find some snow tires for my car or decide if I'm just going to get a "minta winta" car to drive. Maybe it will never snow this year that would be GREAT!

So Bobby now takes Jake to work with him everyday so I am no longer actively trying to find a home for him as he is not alone all the time YAYYYY! I do love my Jakeeeee

I started to do a little bit of Christmas shopping and it is getting me in the mood to put up the tree...ya I know its early but I just love the decorations.

Well its about time to get ready to go to work...aka HELL!! j/k I really don't want to go there tonight though

Sampson July 1994 ~~ October 2008 <3

2008-11-11T09:40:00.000-05:00

So I finally had a little time to post some pics, I don't really have any on my computer anymore and I might be getting a new camera :)

First, Bobby and Josh this Halloween going to Amanda's big party haha I can not believe he dressed up like that!

When Sean came for a visit from Arizona with his G/F Christine, who is so nice :) Amanda and Rob wanted us all to go to Fire and Ice a restaurant in Providence RI it is so cool you pick what you want to eat out of every kind of food you can imagine and they cook it right in front of you however you like it cooked. It was a lot of fun and even Lil Bobby came with us!! So there are a few pics from that and the one of the drink is my "drink" haha everyone thinks I'm a dork because I don't drink, it was only water.

So things have been just same stuff diff. day pretty much.

Florida was AMAZING!! I love Disney and wish I could go every year. I'm still not to sure that Patty even liked it but she said she had a good time. I'm gonna post some pics from Disney very soon :)

We had to put Sampson to rest on Halloween and we all miss him soooo much he was part of our family for 14 years! We love you Sampson and we know you are STILL watching over our family :)
So I worked this morning and now I'm home for a few hours then back to work tonight till 11pm BLAHH!!

2008-08-25T20:31:00.000-04:00

Each fall the Beloit College releases its Mindset list of the "cultural touchstones" that formed the views of teens entering college this year.

"Most of them will be about 18 years old, born in 1990 when headlines sounded oddly familiar to those of today: Rising fuel costs were causing airlines to cut staff and flight schedules; Big Three car companies were facing declining sales and profits; and a president named Bush was increasing the number of troops in the Middle East in the hopes of securing peace. The class of 2012 has grown up in an era where computers and rapid communication are the norm, and colleges no longer trumpet the fact that residence halls are “wired” and equipped with the latest hardware. These students will hardly recognize the availability of telephones in their rooms since they have seldom utilized landlines during their adolescence. They will continue to live on their cell phones and communicate via texting. Roommates, few of whom have ever shared a bedroom, have already checked out each other on Facebook where they have shared their most personal thoughts with the whole world. It is a multicultural, politically correct and “green” generation."* GPS satellite navigation systems have always been available * Coke and Pepsi have always used recycled plastic bottles* Shampoo and conditioner have always been available in the same bottle* Electronic filing of tax returns has always been an option* Clarence Thomas has always sat on the Supreme Court* They have never been able to color a tree using a raw umber Crayola* There has always been Pearl Jam * The Tonight Show has always been hosted by Jay Leno & started at 11:35 EST* Pee-Wee has never been in his playhouse during the day* Macaulay Culkin has always been Home Alone* Caller ID has always been available on phones* They have never known life without Seinfeld references from a show about “nothing"* 98.6 F or otherwise has always been confirmed in the ear

What a fun day I love going to places like this what it was like in the old days the only thing bad was you had to use an outhouse!! I would not want to do that, It was a lot of walking and I felt bad for gramps but he kept up with us we did a boat ride around the lake and took the horse drawn carriage a few times to give him...and us :) a break. Then we had a nice bike ride on the way home it was still warm out.

Stopped in Barre center for an ice cream cone..hmm its seems that all of my fun times revolve around food HAHAHA
