3 Days off April 30, 2008

Aaawwww,3 days off from Walmart.  This has been a long week and Im so tired.  The worst part was Sunday/Monday.  Ugh, I dont wish that on anyone.  4-11pm and then 7am-4pm.  Talk about draining!  That and I really missed the kids.  I didnt see them for 24hrs and I was only 5mins away! 

But on to my days off.  So far tomorrow is booked with going to walmart (funny how I hate being there and that is the first thing I do on my day off) to get my pay check and groceries.  Then Katie, her dd (darling daughter) and me & my dc (darling children) are going to Bluefield to the mall.  The main reason for the trip to the mall is to pick up the pictures from Sears.  If you would like to see such pictures and havent check out my previous post.  There are some of them in it.  We are also going to buy Sylvia some summer clothes.  Who doesnt enjoy shopping for baby/kids clothes!?  They are so cute! 

As for Friday I dont have any real plans yet.  Im kind of hoping it stays that way.  Other than taking the kids to the park to enjoy the nice pretty weather while it lasts, I hope to stay in the house and rest some.  Then Saturday  (which I normally work but had to ask for it off) is Marys Wedding Reception.  Her and her hubby Joe went to TN to get married April 14th.  I went with them and now Im excited to go to the Reception.  This reception is the reason I am trying to make “the  necklace” to match my dress. 

Speaking of “the necklace” here are 2 pictures of what I have bought.  Anyone have any ideas of how I should put it together?  Or anyone know of what other beads would match the green?  My dress is white with a green and brown floral print along the bottom part of the dress.  (prettier than it sounds)

So if you have any suggestions or ideas I would be glad to see/hear them. 

 

Im going to check out a few websites and try to gather ideas for “the necklace” in case I need to buy new/more beads tomorrow while Im out. 

 

Too tired to blog..but Im doing so anyways. April 28, 2008

Ugh!  I worked until 11pm tonight and I have to be back at work at 7am tomorrow!  Yeah, add that to the why I love my job category!  

Anyways, I was going to take a picture of my beads before I start working on “the necklace” but I just dont feel like it.  Plus I really should be going to bed.  But, no, Im sitting here almost glued to this very uncomfortable chair, blogging about how Im too tired to blog.  My brain says go to bed but my body isnt responding.  So, here I sit.  Too tired to get up. 

Lets add a picture of the babies since they are already on the computer and it doesnt require me to get up.

 Meet my 3 adorable tots!  Kennedy & Kaydance will be 2 May 24th and Landon will be 3 May 13th.

 

“Makes you want to kiss the picture” (spoken by my grandmother when she saw this for the first time)

 

Kennedy looking like she is about to attack someone.

 

Kaydance, so sweet. 

 

Well, I think that will conclude the blog for tonight.  Its now past midnight and I need sleep.  I have already taken a 5min nap during this blog! 

Time out, having a baby and making jewelry! April 26, 2008

So my wonderful mother (and grandmother) came to watch the babies while Roger and I went to see a movie.  Ok, so we didnt leave until 8pm which is bedtime so my mom got off easy this time.  But since she is “mama” to my kids they got to stay up late and play.  What are grandmas for right? 

But about the time out of the house.  It was nice going out with my husband.  We havent really had the chance to spend some alone time (that is alone out of the house without the kids) in a while.  We drove to Blacksburg to meet one of Rogers friends Corey and his girlfriend Lindsey.  We picked up Rogers friend Brandon on the way.  So, maybe you have picked up that we werent really “alone”  Oh well, it was still nice to get to go out on a date.  We watched Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay.  Until yesterday I had not seen anything about this movie and then saw a preview on tv for it.  It was funny.  Just beware, its not a family friendly movie (MPAA Rating: R for strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, pervasive language and drug use)

So, now that Im refreshed from my night out I get to go back to work tomorrow after having Thrusday & Friday off.  Its some weird shift too, 10:30-4pm.  But at least I get off early.  Tomorrow is prom and since I work at walmart with a bunch of little highschool teeny boppers, Im going to go watch them walk into prom.    Its sad that Im actually excited about it too.  Im also looking forward to tomorrow because a friend of mine (fingers crossed) is going to have her baby!  She went to be induced Wed. night but didnt progress any and was sent home Thursday afternoon.  Well, now she is having contractions on her own, and showing some progress.  Just waiting for the contractions to get closer together before they head back to the hospital.  I hate she is having a hard time.  I got really lucky with my first. (Landon)  I was induced at 38wks and was already 4cm dialated.  I was in active labor for 41mins and he was born!  Fast and pain free!   

Ok, so for those who want to read my blogs I hope you enjoy reading because once I get started I cant stop! 

Jewelry Update:  I still havent started on it and have 1 week to find an idea, and get it made.  Plus I need to find out how to post pictures on here so I can track my progess for all my fans!   Im really excited beacuse Im not really a crafty, creative person.  So, if you know how to post pics in a blog, please fill me in.  (Psst…Alicia, this is your que to pipe in )   

Well, Im going to end this blog and go find an idea for my necklace.  I sorta know what I want but not really. 

 

 

First Blog (ever) April 21, 2008

So, my super talented sister Alicia came in this past week.  While she was in we (well, more she than we) made some bead necklaces.  This has inspired me to try to make my own.  I have a wedding reception coming up May 3rd and my dress is brown, white and light mint green.  I found some pretty green glass beads on CLEARANCE so I bought them all. (3packs)  I bought some wire and clasps and will try to string it this coming week.  I will try to figure out how to posts pictures on here and post my progress.  This is coming from someone who is computer illiterate so it may/may not happen.  I will probably have to ask my sister Alicia for help.    Hey, what are big sisters for, right? 

Well, Roger (aka DH) wants to watch a movie so Im off.
