Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms out there. Hope that everyone had a great day.   Mine was pretty good...kids were good to me and Leon was at work from noon until close so that was nice! We ate out today and I spoiled myself with not one but 2 sonic blasts! LOL...   I got to watch my shows tonight and had a quiet end of the night..for the most part anyway til Leon came home....   Anyway have a great upcoming week...

I can't believe this...really I find it nutty but whatever its true.....so Leon works at a Dollar General here in town, he was telling me that a cop came into the store earlier tonight and told him that a homeless man here in town is now banned from all Dollar Generals and show him the picture of him so that if he ever sees him, to call the cops immediately....here is the kicker of why the man is banned....you ready for it....   Because the man steals from Dollar General..uh huh steals...ok well that's not the kicker...the kicker is what the heck he steals...you ready for this???   Hand sanitizer!!! Yep you got it...freaking Hand Sanitizer and why you ask would a homeless man steal Hand sanitizer out of everything in the store...not food, not something to eat...nope HAND SANITIZER...because you ready for this.....its 99.9% ALCOHOL!!!!!!!!   Yea the cop brought 2 bottles up there and showed Leon and said its because he is drinking the bottles of hand sanitizer a...

This is some thing that I saw on HLN earlier today and am pissed off about it!!! So this bus driver (didn't catch where here in the US) was driving drunk 3 times the alcohol limit with kids on board the bus!!! He/She doesn't get pulled over/busted for about a week!!!! And better yet (being very sarcastic) the driver isn't charged b/c of no evidence or likely there of evidence or some BS like that someone said on HLN earlier!!!! EXCUSE ME?!!!! The driver has the nerve of not only putting innocent children's lives in danger from being an absolute IDIOT and drinking on the job but with KIDS on board and then doesn't get busted for about a week and then NOT CHARGED??? OMG they better of fired that person or else people have some SERIOUS ISSUES!!!!!!! If I would of found out that MY child was on the bus of a person who was freaking drinking 3 times the legal amount of alcohol I would so be suing that person!!!!!!! Thank goodness that nothing extremely bad happened b...

Ok now let me just say this coming from a person who has been on both ends of the mystery shopping experience. Yes its very very real. Yes not only does retail stores have real mystery shoppers coming into the store to shop and give there review, but so does fast food places.   I know this because I have been on both sides. I have worked for a fast food place and I know for a fact that the companies hire companies to hire you to become mystery shoppers for them. And this doesn't happen in just big huge cities or mid cities, anywhere that there is a fast food or retail chain there is probably a chance that there is going to be a mystery shopper needed for that business.   Now I have worked for a food place and have had mystery shoppers come there and then I have been the mystery shopper. I have done both the retail and fast food shops. Yes the fast food shops are cheaper sometimes to do but you can get great deals with the retail stores too and usually the purchase doe...

Since hubby woke me up at 7 this morning I decided to get up about 7:30 and then decided to go out to a couple of garage sales so I woke y daughter up and we left and went to 2 garage sales, to Love's to get gas, to goodwill, dollar general, Sonic and then home. We had a good time. I absolutely love the bacon egg and cheese toasters and got a sonic blast!! Enjoyed it a lot.   Got some great deals on stuff and now I am trying to get into the mood of working a couple of hours this afternoon and then relaxing and drinking my adult strawberry cool aid tonight...

So I decided what the heck since I got a card in the mail that said come in today and trade your players card for a new upgraded card and get $40 free play! But it said this time to do it only on Fri/Sat from 2-10pm which was good for me because last time I missed out on the $25 free play because I went in and got my card on a day when they wouldn't do the free play it was like Sun-Wed or something...anyway it turned out for the best that I waited   So I went up there around 2:30ish or so and got my free $40, well I went to play a wheel of fortune game that I like and my card said that I had $45 on it (I always get a $5 free play once per week) and then come to find out my card had reached 500 points so that turned into $5 so I had a total of $50 free play!! I didn't spend any of my money!! Woohoo!!   So I went to the wheel of fortune played $5 of the free play and won $10-15 cashed out and went to another game and put another $5 of free play on it and won a little mo...

This has been quiet the month/week already. Stress doesn't even begin to really begin to say what is going on around here. I swear when it rains, it pours!! but of course we all know that and have been there and done that and know that some how someway this too shall pass.... Was planning to go the lake and or eat out or something like that for Mother's day Sunday..not to sure what is going to happen now..change of plans come and go..

I just heard on the radio that Hawaii is now paying over $6 a gallon for gas!!! I can't believe that I mean I can but can't at the same time!! Its nearly $4 here and thats bad enough but 2 more dollars!! YIKES! Guess I won't be moving there anytime soon geez!!! I would definitely be looking into public transit if I was anywhere near that much a gallon b/c thats just completely and utterly ridiculous and not to mention the fact that I thought that they said that the cost of oil per barrel went down $2?? Then why on earth is the gas going up if the price per barrel is going down? I thought that if the barrel price went down so did our price of gas? Geez guess not!! Ridiculous!!!

Kind of hard to believe that its May already. Almost the first week of May gone!! Its the time of the year for graduations and then summer stuff like a trip to the lake and to the pool and barbques and all sorts of fun things. I am looking forward to it but not the hot summer..I could deal with 70s all year and I would be happy! Wanting to take a short family road trip this year...but not sure we can pull that off just yet so we will wait and see. Everyone is growing up so fast....time flies and before we know it, school will be out for the summer and then back up to starting again. Then it will hit the holidays and be next year!! Wow where in the world has this year gone so far??  Have a great rest of the first week of May everyone. I am looking SO forward to the weekend. My plans have changed and we will be probably staying home for the weekend and I will be enjoying my adult cool aid called Strawberry Daiquiri Friday and Saturday night!

So it was nice out today yay! Got a few things done, never seems like I get all of what I want done done but some of it at least. I worked my butt off and got my recruiters up and going so that's a great thing. I just don't get why some people tell you what you want to hear like oh yea I want to work I can't wait to start etc etc and then once you send them the work to do, you don't hear from them in a couple days!! So the least that you could let someone know something that your not going to be in for the rest of the week or that your taking off for whatever reason or whatever but damn at least have the courtesy of letting someone know what is going on .. ugh!!  I am glad that I found a few great people though that already have candidates and are pre-screening them and hopefully will be sending them to me soon and letting me do a short interview with them and then send them to the hiring manager who will hopefully  get them in for an interview and hire them! I...

Its another stormy 2nd day of May. I had to get up and out at freaking 5:50 this morning out in the pouring down rain and not only once but TWICE!!! No fun!!! I had to take Leon to work since he couldn't even walk a couple of blocks to work in the pouring down rain and then an hour later around 7:20ish I had to get out again and drop off 2 kids at the school that is only a few blocks away and then drive my youngest to his school across town...getting out in the rain is no freaking fun that early in the morning especially!!!!

Well our first day of May was filled with fun and joy...NOT! We had thunderstorms that started in around 4-5am and didn't stop until later in the evening. Storming ALL day and knocked out the electricity for a little while. Long enough for me and 3 kids to take a nap! We were sitting in the front room talking up a storm and then we got quiet and sleepy after snacking and playing games. We all took a nice relaxing nap. We did have plans to go out of town and go out to eat at a buffet but because of the icky weather that was a no go so we just hung out at home.

I went into Walgreens today (haven't been in there in awhile) and got 2 big boxes of the turtles that I absolutely SO love for $5!!! They were on sale 2/$6 and I had printed out a coupon for a $1 off so it was only $5 pretty good for two big boxes...anyway I am getting into the coupon thing and loving saving money so if anyone has any suggestions of any sites that have coupons, please let me know.

I haven't blogged in awhile and finally realized that I need to start taking time out again to just sit here and blog. I have been stressed out lately about different things and its been nothing short of chaotic around here.   We got our front loading washer and dryer set a week ago. Will blog about that and show pictures soon. I took pics the day that we got them just didn't post them yet. And hubby got a laptop for his early bday since its at the end of May.   My kids are growing up way too fast and with the birth of my grandson, its made me realize that life is flying by at a rapid speed. I wish that it would slow down but what can you do?   I took my daughter out today and we had 2-3 hours of mother daughter time just out running around and spending time together and finding some great deal along the way. We went to Goodwill and she found a couple of things (she got so spoiled today I can't remember what she got where...

Just got the washer and dryer and omg I am SO loving them already!! Been busy busy busy doing laundry all day long but I don't mind! I so love doing laundry now! LOL crazy but I love it!!

I became a grandmother on Wednesday April 20th 2011. My step daughter had her first child/son born at 6:30am my time. I got a call to my voicemail around 9:30am that morning and she said that she was a mommy and said that she had a story to tell me but boy I didn’t think that it would be anything like it turned out to be. My step daughter lives on the East coast and we live here in the central US so were hundreds of miles away so we couldn’t be there with her, wish that we could have been. She had her son at home by herself with no one there with her. No one!! no meds no doctors, no boyfriend no anyone or anything!!! I couldn’t believe it at first because you don’t hear a story like this too much at least I don’t! She had contractions all through out the day on Monday. They were about 5 minutes apart and went on for an hour late afternoon on Monday and she went to the hospital and they kept her for an hour and she didn’t dilate so they sent her home!! Pathetic on their part right...

I think that its sad that they ended up going through a bunch of stuff and then separated and ending it in divorce after 6 months, BUT I feel for her and I know that it must of been a very very hard decision for her to make. And he should really really be ashamed of his self for taking that amount of money out of the bank account ($19,000) to buy HIS SELF a new freaking truck when that money was what Leah earned and for the girls...how sad for him to think that he deserved or needed such an expensive truck when his daughters need so much more! SELFISH man!!! Glad that she ended it because I wouldn't trust him ever again after taking the money out of the account and then not being apologetic to her!! RUDE JERK!! Just my opinion but he shouldn't of done that...it wasn't his money to take, even if they were married he knows that the girls needed things, they are kids, they always are needing something and that was for them to live on and spend as they saw fit not for him to...

Today started out chaotic and I have a feeling is going to be ending with lots of chaos still in tacked! Got the kids up and ready for school and on there way, cloudy day out which always makes it hard to stay up and keep going, so right after the kids left I hopped in the shower and enjoy a hot shower to help me feel better and wake up. Felt much better after the shower, might start taking the showers in the morning instead of at night before bed..hmm...came in here and started working around 8 and had my very short interview at 10, got hired, logged in to look around the system and will start working probably tomorrow 5 hours a day with Friday's and Sunday's off.   After getting the job for the company with the very very short interview, I like it that way! LOL...I was getting things ready and situated for my recruiters and the phone rings and it was my step daughter, I had just posted on my Facebook not to much earlier about her and hoping that she's doing good et...

This week has seemed to just drraaaggg on by for me. Its been a busy week but very slow. I have hired several people to help me with my recruiting. Very interesting in what some of the people say ... interesting..I still have a ton of job orders and more coming in weekly so I am still openly looking for recruiters to help me so if you want to work from home on commission or know someone that does, send them my way. Have them email me LandLServices@hotmail.com   Its supposed to storm tonight, hoping that it does, I love it when it rains and storms, nothing bad just storms a little. Tomorrow is going to be busy since I have a ton of things to get done both for work and other things like getting things ready for my daughters birthday Saturday....14!! Wow where does the time go??!   I hope that everyone has a great upcoming weekend..I know that mine will be good.
