Decorating my living room

Image
I am planning to re-decorate my living room. I have my living room set finally so now its time to get the blinds which I have but haven't put them up because they aren't as long as what they need to be so I am going to get new ones that will look a lot better then the ones that I have now and I am trying to figure out what kind..they have such different ones and what color etc...then I am getting curtains too but I guess I need to figure out if I'm going to repaint the whole room or how I'm going too and what color...The room right now has the top half a beige color and then the bottom half brown...its not that ugly but I want to change it at least the bottom so that is what I am trying to decide...fun trying to re-decorate everything...And then the curtains   I'm going to look through some blinds and colors and trying to figure out what to do and then post colors and see what others opinions are....I decided that I will start on the living room and go from t...

Getting caught up

I am slowly but surely getting caught up with everything and will try to continue to keep on track!   Thoughts and prayers to everyone out there that is being faced with the crummy weather. We are getting it too but off and on and not so bad, just rain now and again.   Bee Gee's singer Robin Gibb, thoughts and prayers are going to him and his family as he lays in the hospital in a coma...I love the Bee Gee's and I hope and pray that he come out of it soon and can recover fast.   Yahoo groups - wow I have joined some great groups and these people like to share!! ALOT!!! My inbox is filling up as fast as I can clear it out some its filling up more! I am going to keep going through them and then I might have to do a mass delete to not lose anything important in the mix!   My new phone coming soon - hopefully I will get it in the beginning of the week. I am not patient with the mail and getting things fast these days! I want it now now NOW! So hopefully it w...

Critical: Robin Gibb's son RJ says the family are praying for his father, who has slipped into a coma Robin Gibb's son has said he'll do 'anything' for his father to recover. The iconic Bee Gees singer slipped into a coma on Friday and doctors fear he has days to live. Robin-John, known as RJ for short, said: 'My dad has had a hard recovery from cancer. 'When you get rid of the cancer a lot of periphery problems can occur. This is so sad.' He told The People that everyone the family were 'praying' for a recovery and that he felt honoured to be living in his father's shadow. RJ added: 'If people say that I’m living in my ­father’s shadow, all I can say is what a great shadow that is to be living in.' The 62-year-old star made a recovery from liver and colon cancer this year, but doctors believe a second tumor may be present. He has also developed pneumonia. His wife Dwina, brother Barry, 65, da...

Blog Dare - Day 14 - How my children imagine I spend my day...

My children imagine that I spend my days by going back to bed after they leave for school. Sleeping half the day, getting up and sitting on the computer and doing nothing! Yet when they get home the laundry has been washed, dinner has been or will be started depending on what were having, other chores have been done and errands have been run and so forth but they seem to think I do nothing. I am a stay at home mom and love it and I am also a work at home which means yes I actually WORK or else they wouldn't be having cell phones and cable TV in there room because I pay for those bills and their dad pays for the basic bills. They act sometimes like they know and understand that I work at home on days that I get paid they seem to understand that but times where they just don't get it..they are teens now and I have been doing this for over 10 years, you would think that they would get it by now but I don't think that they ever really will unless they ended u...

Getting my new cell - its an Android!! WOO HOO

Image
LOL..yea I am finally moving up in the world and getting an Android!! Mine was plane jane that I had and didn't go online with it or anything just simple text/calls etc but this one that I am getting with US Cellular is pretty cool!! And hopefully I will get it Tuesday or Wednesday..I ordered it last night on the phone with them while calling in to check the status of the original order that I placed and she said that it would take 3-5 business day to just process it because its a web special thing and all that jazz and so she talked me into this phone which is a little better I guess then the one that I had picked out...this one has a camera on it (mine did too, love taking random pics  ) this one though has a cam with a flash she said so incase I want to see something in the dark and take a pic with a flash it would be good. Oh and the thing that I didn't know is that any of the "incoming" calls or text to the phone are free!! I didn't know that!! With my o...

Kids at movies - Mirror Mirror

I dropped off 3 teens earlier to see Mirror Mirror..I hope that they are having fun and enjoying there selves...Its my daughter, her friend and my youngest son..I am happy to see them getting along (my daughter that will be 15 Monday and my youngest who is 13) because most of the time they are fussing about nothing!   I guess I will wait for Mirror Mirror to come out on DVD to see it or else go up there by myself sometime and watch it.   Its cloudy here today drizzling and wanting to storm hasn't yet but looking like it could at any minute!   Have a great and safe weekend everyone

Blog Dare - Day 13 - A day in the life of my child{ren}.

So lets see a day in the life of my children...they get woke up by me at 6 on school mornings, get ready for school and do chores, go to school come home do there afternoon chores, homework and then they get to talk on the phone or text or spend time with me doing whatever we decide to do. Like on the weekends we will have a movie night and or a game night where we play games sometimes on the wii and other times board games. They aren't allowed to go over to friends on the weekdays. And even on the weekend they are to be home before it gets dark and they are too check in depending where they are going and who they are out with. They have it pretty easy compared to some! I had a lot more chores then they do at a younger age then they are! And I didn't have cable TV and or a cell phone or any game systems to play and use either!

Blog Dare - Day 12 - Dear 10 year old self..

I would look back and tell my 10 year old self to keep being strong and to cherish every moment with the family members that respect and love you for who you are no matter of your faults....my grandfather and my uncle...I would love to go back and be with my grandfather again and be in the front seat with him in that blue work van that he drove every day to the greenhouse and sometimes took me out even if it was just a few blocks away and let me sit with him in the front seat and drive....loved and cherish those moments and memories and I wish so much that he could of spent more time with each of my kids so that they could see just what a great grandfather that he was.. And then I would love to spend time with my uncle..I loved the times that we just went to the resivoir and hung out and sometimes fished or walked or the times that we would go driving around and up to the mountains and then just go walking around and spent time together...loved those times so much!! I wioul...

Work from home - no cost

Good evening, I am so far behind on my blogs! I don't like getting behind but life happens and its been chaotic around here lately! I would like to share with you all a way to work from home and make some extra money. Now some think, oh ok either its a scam where you have to pay something (no cost involved) or other think oh ok its a work at home thing so that means making free money by doing nothing and getting paid for it!! No again, you have to put some effort and time into working at home with whatever you choose to do from home. I came across this today and want to share it with you, I signed up (free) just listen to a video and it will tell you all about it. Its not a scam and it costs nothing for you to look at it and see if you want to make some extra money at home part or full time, you choose. Oh and there is no cold calling or selling or anything like that...so here is the link for you to check it out.. http://ushomeworkforce.net/Lisa2900

Blog Dare - Day 11 - A favorite find while thrifting or antiquing... {Or what you hope to find!}

I have found lots of things through out the years. I have found things from clothes to cd's to other electronics to furniture for a great price. Love thrift shopping.

Blog Dare - Day 10 - What others never understood about my pregnancy.

Well lets see...my first child I was scared to death about being pregnant and the things that I was going through but what others just don't get or understand is that no matter what I was hearing and what others thought I stayed strong for me and my son and I took care of us both while being pregnant and from the first day that I found out that I was pregnant, even though I was nervous and scared, I love that baby inside of me so much that I never realized that I could love something so much until he was actually born and placed in my arms for the first time and time just stood still....he is one of four blessings in my life and I am so proud of him for the young adult that I have raised him to be and the person that he's become. It seemed like all everyone could do or would do around me is talk/gossip about me and some didn't even know me or the situation and the others that did (family) just gossiped about me every second they could...not in front of me but of...

Blog Dare - Day 9 - ... and he never found out!

And he never found out...hmm, not too sure about this one....I'm just going to leave this one alone because I can't think of anything right now...

Blog Dare - Day 8 in April - What my mommy swimsuit looks like... compared to my younger years swimsuit.

Ok so today's blog is about what mommy's swimsuit looks like compared to my younger years swimsuit...ok hmm well back when I was younger I wore the one piece ones that looked nice and showed off my legs (I'm 6 ft so yea long legs)...I haven't worn a swim suit in years!! If I was to lose a few more pounds I might consider wearing a bikini!! I don't think that any of my teens would like me wearing a bikini but if I lose a few more pounds then I might just take a chance and wear one! What the heck you know..only live once!

Blog Dare - Day 7 - If one store could completely make over my home... it would be.

Well this is an easy and hard one at the same time! One store my first thought was Lowe's but then I thought of my room and would have to say Office Depot or Staples since my room is my office. So I would have to say Lowe's and or Office Depot and then if it was for the whole whole house..hmm I would have to say maybe Target. They have all kinds of things for every room in my house so maybe that would be my answer. I would LOVE to re-decorate faster then I am. I want to do that and start in the living room with the blinds and then the pain or actually vice versa I will do the painting of the walls then do the blinds to match..whichever I already got the new furniture in there and so now its time to do the rest. I really want a porch swing too so doing the front porch up is out there too.

Blog Dare - Day 6 - My wish list...

My wish list has a few things on it and I made one not too long ago but what I am going to share is this.... I wish to be happy and for my kids to be happy young adults. I have been putting myself first a lot more this year then in the past its always been about the kids and everything that they need/want but now that they are growing up and each of them are teens, I have decided to start doing things for me. They are old enough to do things on there own and go get a job (except for my youngest whose just 13 1/2) they are old enough to get what they want and they don't need me there babying them like they use too. I am still there for them 24/7's that will never stop but I am concentrating on me and my happiness and my career and what I want to get out of this life that I haven't gotten yet.....

Another client to work with!

Wow, the list of clients is getting longer and longer this week!! I am so excited to be working with such great people and I have a great team that I am managing as well! I enjoy working from home and helping others do that as well.   And the great thing is that this isn't a "business opportunity" its real legit WORK! Administrative/virtual Assistant work that I do from home and help clients that need things done.   I am so looking forward to building my team even bigger and better. I have great contractors under me now that I manage and I am looking forward to expanding my team in the near future to accommodate all of the clients and work that we have lined up!   So thankful and grateful that I have found such a great company and boss to work for and with! She's pretty awesome as a person and business person/boss.   Have a great Friday everyone, happy the weekend is here once again, time to relax this weekend and enjoy a movie...Mirror Mirror and Hunger...

Blog Dare - Day 5 - My secret shopping behavior...

Hmm, well I don't really have a secret shopping behavior...This year I have been loving to order things online more and sick and tired of running clear across town to just stand in line longer then what it took me to run in there and grab what I needed! I hate that the price of gas is skyrocketing and I just don't see the point of getting out and messing with all the traffic and things if I can simply get on a site click a few buttons and be done before the time that it would of taken me to just get to the stores!

Going to find out if my daughter and I have a green thumb...

We are going to be planting Zinnia's and a few other things. Maybe we will have a good looking garden soon   Looking forward to spending time with my daughter.   Lots of seeds to choose from..going to be going out in a few to get stuff to start it.   Have a great rest of the evening.

Blog Dare - Day 4 - The worst Easter candy... ever!

I think that the worst Easter candy ever is the jelly beans!! I guess its because I'm just not in the mood for them but yea thats what I'm thinking is the worst .. and the marshmallow ones..they aren't the greatest either since I Just can't stand the marshmallow taste .. I like marshmallows just not in the candy.
