Thanks Ladies!! I know some of you may have already had these so I went through my reader looking for bloggers that I really enjoy reading. I know I don't comment often and it's only because I'm doing too many things as once and not concentrating on the one task at hand. I'm glad to announce all of my awards and games to everyone I've listed above.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!!

I HATE FACTORIES!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Ok I know you don't really want to hear about but I really want to put my husband in school for something that he'll enjoy doing.

I really want do kick box someone right now. I'm so ticked I'm crying!! This is not cool.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

And this is why I feel like I've totally screwed up my life a little too early. Those people he works for just don't care about those that have families! Just so irritating and yes I'm crying while typing this.

I'm just praying to GOD that he'll help us out here a bit in some good way that we will end up on top for at least a few good years.

I want to scream so bad!! On top of the school stuff he only get TWO VACATION days that HE gets to schedule for next year. His other days are already scheduled which is abunch of BS!

Working your from the bottom to the top is rough, I mean really rough!! Some of you man know what I'm talking about and others may not which is prefectly fine. I come here often telling my, our life stories but when something gets under my skin I need to say something somehow. Bloggin about it does that like someone has said it's cheap therapy.

Candy Wrapped Like Pills

I was gonna do this as a guessing thing. Well it's late and I just don't have the time right now to edit it so I'll just tell ya the story.


While out at the HOSPITAL doing a trunk or treat they had these:

That they were giving out, well my husbnad thought they were pills like Xanex and lorataps, sorry if I mispell these, and few others that he mentioned. But seriously why would you give out candy that looks like it's wrapped up like a pill, I MEAN COME ON! I don't care that you are a hospital or not it just doesn't make sense to me. I'm just glad that they were M&M's because on the back it has the M&M's logo or whatever on it. Like this.I know it's a bit blurry but it was a Kodak Easy Share C533 camera, what do you expect. It takes better pictures than my camera/video recorder does, POS camera.

Wonderful Women

I was so happy to see the Five Minutes For Mom post yesturday with a link to my contest. It feels really good to get some linkage and so with out further ado I would like to thank them.

Along with some nice gift ideas for Christmas from the A Rocking Horse to Love Store. I've noticed lately that my youngest son is absolutely getting into horses, I'm not sure if it's just the stage of learning new words or the fansination of the animal. We live across from a farm and I'd love to get him a rocking horse and what better place than A Rocking Horse to Love Store. This horse would be awesome to get him.

Again Thank You 5M4M for adding me to your Around the Blogosphere yesturday. And you can visit some more mom sites here.

JURY DUTY!!

I've posted about it before but I have some new readers now.

Back in June I got selected for the District Court Jury Panel...now at first I thought it was cool but now not so much because it just doesn't fit into my schedule. I get paid more doing my part time job as a paper pusher in an insurance tax office. Tweleve dollars and fifty cents A DAY, WTH. They take us out of our normal paying job 6.50 an hour or more and gives us that piddly 12.50 for one whole stinkin day.

The best part about it though, is getting paid just for saying here when they do roll call because they only need 6-12 jurors to stay and witness the trial. So I'll be leaving here in a bit after I put James to sleep/bed for his nap and then wake the hubs up.

Favorite Movie!

Is Open Season with Martin Lawrence and Ashton Kutcher. Here's some video(s) as to why it is his favorite now. LOL



I love making him laugh. I'll have to go to the website and get some apparel and stuff toys of Boog and Elliot, although he still likes McQueen and Mater so all is still good with some of his bedding.

Cookie Time!

He helped me make Halloween Sugar Cookies w/ Butter Frosting. We started it Saturday afternoon about lunch time. Helped cut out the dough, which he has done before while at Gam Gam's house for Christmas. Next year will be fun with both boys helping make the cookies, but this recipe or they way I made it didn't taste real sugary. So the next I make these I'll be sure to add more sugar to it.

Then today we finished frosting them and putting sprinkles on them. He still has some trouble getting ENOUGH frosting on the knife to cover the cookie but in do time he'll get it.

This is him being goofy as always. I asked him to put his head down on the counter so I could actually get his face in the picture well he did that instead. Which was awesome! He always makes my day especially the older he gets.
The cookies are done but yet he wont eat them for some reason. He'll lick the frosting and that's it. If there's any of them left by Friday I'll be taking them into his school for his Halloween party.

Camera Critters #29

Camera Critters is all about animals and photography. I haven't been religious about doing this meme but I saw it on a blog while I was EC Dropping and figured I should go ahead and do this week.


I'd like to introduce Oscar our oscar fish. LOL Connor named him that. Him and the other aggressive fish that we have were mean to the goldfish and tiger looking fish that we had in there last summer. So as of now there are only two fish and a fish that we call the sucker fish. I'll introduce him next week.
