I tried it....and I think it's either<br />1. above me <br />2. stupid. <br />I had a person subscribe to mine that I don't even know. I've yet to even use it. <br />I think my Twitter days are OVER before they ever started. <br /><br />I just spent over an hour cutting coupons. This would have been done in around a half an hour had I not had HELP. She was really good though:) <br /><br />I'm trying to clean, do laundry, and junk so I don't have to do a thing tomorrow. I will need to go to Church w/my Mother & Grandmother. Dana took the kids to get me something. Tori told me "when you wake up on Mother's day...close your eyes". She's dying to tell me. <br /><br />I'm watching trey....a friend of his has MONO. I'm a bit freaked out by it. It wouldn't be bad if he had not spent the night w/him last Saturday.<br /><br />I have a facebook page...and I'm trying not to be addicted by it.

I was So proud. Tori made out like a bandit w/candy. <br />Monday night Trey had a band performance....he played the Phantom of the Opera (one of my fav plays I've seen). Tori was a fidgety mess and stressed me a bit. <br />My grandpa went in yesterday for a Heart Cath and ended up needing to have a stint put in. He stayed over night and should come home tonight. <br />Tori is napping (a new weird thing..falling asleep at 5-7 every night..grrr..it's a treat getting her back to bed)....I'm going through the working mother thing...and I only work 4 hours a day. When i get home I just want to chill w/the kids...and after looking at a computer for 4 hours..I have no desire to look at one at night. <br />I'll bore you w/some pics:0)Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01311552310865451124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275000207805026874.post-45436496638261662462009-04-19T17:09:00.002-05:002009-04-19T17:11:01.438-05:00Happy 40thHappy 40th Anniversary to my parents.

We went to the Challenger Learning Center for team work training. It was pretty cool. We had to perform task in a simulated space craft and mission control. I was in charge of the REM station. I had to deal w/bugs, plants, and meteoroids..right up my alley. <br />We did a questionnaire to decide personality...I'm an Astronaut and it fit me to a T. My Boss is a space station. Her Assistant is a Rocket ship. <br />The Company treated us to Ozzie's after. The guy at the end of our table was a RIOT. He ordered 3 appetizers. I had a drink and it was YUMMY:) <br />It was a LONG day though. <br />Spring Break starts today..5 days off..YAY:) I slept an extra hour that was needed. I have family DRAMA AGAIN. I'm trying to behave via my mother's request...it's just so hard. I have raging PMS and i get provoked pretty easily when it comes to my parents. I'll clean all day to keep my mind off of it...or try to at least. <br />I haven't posted any pics in awhile so I'll share my lil photo shoot w/the kids.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01311552310865451124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275000207805026874.post-3413111676583904332009-04-06T15:13:00.002-05:002009-04-06T15:16:15.955-05:00I'm a winner:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJB1rxRnoEoPuaVE-1qIWYPAI_HlVwJ9sGgmpOZFpxyneZcAefWr5OWxPg6lQQTaM6VpGcFNfg9P8WkgNH-s6CIOwHmywT5XgRGMN1dvgFoCVy-CnZqLNk1semvbWUtuWi_dyaQ8tI/s1600-h/video+i+won.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJB1rxRnoEoPuaVE-1qIWYPAI_HlVwJ9sGgmpOZFpxyneZcAefWr5OWxPg6lQQTaM6VpGcFNfg9P8WkgNH-s6CIOwHmywT5XgRGMN1dvgFoCVy-CnZqLNk1semvbWUtuWi_dyaQ8tI/s320/video+i+won.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321674147945123442" /></a><br /><br />Thanks to Jenn over at I hate Whine......I am the winner of her giveaway:) Tori will be thrilled to get this DVD..and it's the first thing I've won on the blog:) <br />Go sneak a peek at her blog...she has everything on it...love it:)Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01311552310865451124noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275000207805026874.post-9332493877012439312009-04-03T08:17:00.002-05:002009-04-03T08:21:26.973-05:00Good use for newspaperSince Spring has sprung....it's yard time. I have a good use for newspaper....for a green weed barrier. Use wet newspaper instead of plastic. Simply wet the newspaper and put it down in layers. Cover w/mulch and forgetta bout' the weeds.

Place in baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars on top. Bake at 350degrees for 15 minutes.

I'm going to try a different approach. It's going to be more of a mommy/tidbit/recipe/wife/daughter/crazy kinda blog this time. <br /><br />Easter is just around the corner so I will share a Easy Deviled Egg tidbit:<br />Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. just throw bag away when done. Easy Peasy clean up:)<br /><br />Off to catch up on bloggervilleMichellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01311552310865451124noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2275000207805026874.post-35294573796525306122009-02-19T07:30:00.001-06:002009-02-19T07:30:39.406-06:00Winter FunkThat's what I am in....so.......Hopefully I'll be back in the springMichellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01311552310865451124noreply@blogger.com3
