New Year's Eve

Happy New Year's Eve everyone. I had a good day. I got the house cleaned but not deep cleaned. I got Samantha started on her lessons for the week. Her lesson theme is sheep this week. It's a good thing that she has a lambie stuffed animal, so I can teach her the difference. Cayce worked a little bit of overtime today and came home around 5. He went and got some chinese food for me because I haven't eatin anything today.

Budd is here and him and Cayce are outside burning wood and trash, which is like a New Years Eve tradition that started last year. The girls are in bed asleep. I'm watching New Years Rockin Eve celebrates Dick Clark. I watch this every year.

Well, I'll be back next year, and post some more goodness.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!

100th Post and Birthday Presents!!

This is my 100th post. I'm so excited. I didn't think I would blog for so long. I thought I would quit like after a week. It's hard to believe that I have been blogging since July. I'm ready for a new year. Now on to my birthday presents.

My favorite hair dye

My favorite gift. Cayce got this for me.

2nd book

 

I love my gifts. I will post mine and cayce's christmas gifts later. We always get our christmas gifts together from my family since my birthday is so close.

Weekend News

My weekend has been going great. On Frdiay, I did my household chores, and watched the new Ghost Adventures. Cayce went to bi-lo and got another laundry deal. We didn't fight as much. Yesterday, we took the tree down. I was so happy to take it down, now my living room feels bigger. I can let Addy crawl around without worrying if she is going to knock something down on top of her. I ordered a teeth whitening system off Swagbucks. I can't wait to get it.

I'm sort of disappointed with myself because I wanted to blog everyday this month, but I slacked majorly. I still have so much to tell. I have to talk about my birthday presents, and my goals for this week, and my resolutions for the new year. Today, I'm going to get Samantha's school week in order, and clean my kitchen. Cayce has to go to work tomorrow from 9-4. I don't like the idea, but if he doesn't go, he wont get paid.

I have a list of projects I want to get done, and I will post those later. But, the next post I will do, will be about my birthday presents. I have been thinking about AJ this weekend. He hasn't noticed that I'm not friends with him on Facebook anymore. I really like him, but I don't know what to do.

I have some cleaning and picture taking to do. I will be back in a little bit to post about my birthday presents.

I need a new outlook.

I have been thinking of alot lately and how my relationship with Cayce is, and if I'm happy or not. I talked to AJ tonight, to just get things off my chest because I'm there when he needs to talk. While we were talking, he just kind of brushed me off and so I have finally unfriended him. I don't need that distraction anymore in my life.

I will post more tomorrow.
Night!

Prep.Curriculum: Week 16

This week's theme was butterflies. She knew was it was the second I walked into the living roo with the poster. The vocabulary word was antenna. On Monday, she colored two pictures of butterflies.

 

On Tuesday, she reviewed the color purple. She went around pointing out things that are purple. I gave her a pass day on Wednesday. On Thursday, we did the letter P and the number 16.

 

We didn't do school on Friday because it was my birthday. She has an off week because it Christmas but she will resume next week, and head into the new year doing great.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Merry Christmas. It has been such a good morning here at Barden Palace...lol, I just nade that up. The girls got so many toys and Addy had a great 1st christmas. Samantha got her bike and Ariana got plenty of toys to keep her occupied. Adalyn played for 30 minutes and passed out....lol. I got Christmas dinner started. Having a honey glazed ham with a green bean casserole, corn muffins, stuffing, and deviled eggs. I am going to post 2 more times today. One will be Sammy's school week, and the other will highlight my birthday gifts.

Have a good day everyone!

Birthday and Today Update

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. Cayce cooked me breakfast, and I watched Ghost Adventures ALL day. It was awesome. My mom came and spent some time with me and played with the girls. She got me a smores kit, and she made me a chocolate covered cherry cake. I love this cake. She made it for me last year, and fell in love. Cayce brought me a sub home from subway for lunch. At the end of the day, my nerves were on end, because Samantha was misbehaving. Cayce got the car back last night, and he came home and cooked me my birthday dinner. He cooked chicken with carrots and red potatoes, and his mac an cheese. He watched the new Dead Files with me last night. I ordered Cayce's second christmas present, and I know he wont get it before Christmas. I had so many of my friends on facebook tell me happy birthday yesterday, and one of them was AJ. I am still friends with him, but he went back to his no good girlfriend.

Today, we went to our car insurance company because Cayce won a $50 walmart gift card. We stopped by Hobby Lobby because we need a new tree topper, but they were all out, and the place was packed. I had a horrible panic attack on the way there because Cayce's driving just scares me. We walked around the store and my anxiety went away. After, we left there, we went to KMart which was a HUGE mistake. I hate going to store during the day, because of all the crazies. I will stick to going shopping 2 hours before closing at night time. My nerves were on end, and I was starving, so we stopped by Burger King.

We are going to walmart tomorrow night. I have so much to do around the house, so I will be going now.
Good Night.

I Had A Panic Attack Today

I have been stressed out all day. Cayce got the car late this morning, and went and got the car realigned and hour before our salvation army appointment time. I was nervous the entire time he was gone. Just thinking about it, gets me worked up. We got so many toys for christmas, and very little food. We will definately being doing stuff a bus again next year.

Cayce came home around 3, already 2 hours late for work and I was going crazy. He just kept wasting time and eventually left 30 minutes later. I keep wishing that he will work all day on Monday. Yes, he has to work on christmas eve to get paid, which is total bs, but we need the money for our high mortgage payment, and light bill.

My nerves are on end and will be till we get these bills paid. I'm going to try really hard not to think about it on my birthday. Cayce wants to take me to dinner on Saturday for a birthday dinner, but I don't want to go because we don't have any money to spend on eating out or shopping.

I say goodnight to anyone who is reading this.

Pissed Off Kinda Day

I have been in a foul mood all day. It started when Cayce checked the mail. Our mortgage bill and light bill were in. Not what I was expecting. Our light bill is 30 dollars higher than last month and I know exactly who the culprit is.....THE CHRISTMAS TREE. I will not be lighting it until christmas night. The mortgage went up in November because of our house taxes and the county being retards and not putting in their system that we live in the house, and the taxes were 700 dollars that was eventually refunded to us, and our payment still hasn't been lowered.

The car will be finished tomorrow morning. All the mechanic had left to do was the oil. He called Cayce around 3 to tell him that and that he would do it in the morning. He closes at 6, how come he couldn't fix it in the 3 hours he had left. So now, Cayce has to wait and go up there around 10 and then take it across town to have it realigned and pick up the girls christmas at 2:30. Needless to say, I am having a panic attack.

I'm ready for my birthday and for christmas to be over. I'm ready for a new year and to celebrate addy's 1st birthday.

I'm waiting on UPS to deliver the wipes. I hate when they say that it will be delivered at the end of the day, which I don't know when that is. I don't have any packages on my porch. I ordered the Wii turbo wheel and shooter gun last night. Now I'm working on a screwdriver set for the house. Cayce has dozens of screwdrivers and always loses them, so I'm getting a set for us to use inside.

Gotta go.
night all.

I Had A Great Weekend!!

I spent the entire weekend with Cayce and the kids. On Friday night, Cayce came home and cooked neckbones and rice with some field peas and snaps for dinner. We played with the girls and had a tea party. On Saturday, Cayce and I spent the day doing relaxing things but spent time together and the girls played and watched tv. Cayce got a new game and he played it all day on Saturday and I was doing swagbucks all day. We didn't do any household chores, and we went shopping. We got some more food, movies and neccessities for the house.

Yesterday, We cleaned the house and I sent Cayce to Kmart and Bi-Lo. He got the meal deals from Bi-Lo and Cayce got some more things that we needed. I made beef stew in the crock pot last night and it was delicious.

I have been working my butt off on Swagbucks. Hopefully, I'll be getting the big box of wipes tomorrow. I'm working on getting the Wii Turbo wheel and gun for a game Cayce bought the other night.

This morning, Cayce took the car to the mechanic to get it fixed. That car had a bunch of problems, and it will be fixed today and wednesday. On Wednesday, the car will be getting realigned and tires rotated. We also get to pick up the girls christmas presents from the Salvation Army.

Well, I'm going to go cook supper.
Night All

Rescheduling Samantha's School

We took this week off from school because everyone in the house was sick. So I have rescheduled the last 10 weeks and she will be ending her school in the beginning of March. We will be resuming our work on Monday.

I bought Sammy a alphabet preschool workbook last night from walmart. She is having some difficulties with letters, so we will be working out of her workbook after this school year ends, which will be March for her and we will be doing the workbook until August of 2013. She will start the Sounds Curriculum which will be 36 weeks long.

I also want to send my prayers and thoughts out to the children and their families of the school shooting in Connecticut today. Finding out about this today only pushed and finalized my decision to homeschool the girls for good. This world is not safe and I will not be letting my children out of my sight.

Prep. Curriculum: Week 15

The week's theme was rain. I'm not going to go into much detail for this post. I will describe what she did on the following days, but I just don't have the energy to detail every day.

On Monday, I printed her a picture of a rain storm.

On Tuesday, I gave her the day off because she was helping me around the house to clean it up and make room for our groceries. On Wednesday, I burnt my fingers, and had to go to the doctor. She colored her oval's on Thursday and also did the letter O.

On Friday, she did the number 15.

This week, I'm giving her a break since we are both sick. We will resume her school next Monday.

 

Weekend Update

The weekend was rocky for me. My fingers bothered me and and Cayce worked all weekend. he had his work christmas party last night and I got a cold. Im being beatin up. I have so much to do today, but I dont have the energy. We got our dresser yesterday and I have to put our clothes so we can be a little bit more organized.

I'm going to go take a nap.

Burned Fingers

Yesterday, I planned on posting, but to my non carefulness, I got burned by steam. I was cooking some lunch in the microwave and I grabbed the plastic film and BAM, intense burning and stinging. I cried because it hurt so bad. I never got burned so badly. I had to call Cayce home from work and have him take me to the doctor. They put silvadene on it, and immediate relief.

It was hard to do anything last night, I couldnt do any chores and Cayce had to wash my hair for me.
I had to double up on Samantha's school work today. She did good though.

I have a big blister on my right index finger and it is the size of my fingernail. The blister on my middle finger is not that big.

Well, I'm done with the computer for tonight.

Prep. Curriculum: Week 14

The week's theme was horses. She has only been up close to a horse once, but will point them out in a heartbeat when we are going down the road.

The vocabulary word was mane. She didnt understand it. She kept calling it hair, so we went with that. On Tuesday, the color was brown. Since the interior of our house is brown, she caught on to it quick. On Wednesday, we did the letter N. I didn't take any pictures.

 

I gave her Thursday off from school. She was well behaved and she helped me around the house. On Friday, we did the number 14.  have to help her remember to say 12 because she will skip it and got to thirteen and keep repeating.

 

She is just gettin big too fast and she learns more and more everyday. A year ago, we couldn't understand a word she was saying and she was still in speech.

Short Post

This weekend has flown by. I didn't have a really good day today. I was disappointed with tonight's episode of The next iron chef redemption, my favorite chef went home. That sucks. I'm still trying to reach my personal goal on Swagbucks for today.

I will post about Samantha's school week tomorrow.

Goodnight all!

HAPPY DECEMBER!!!!

It is finally December. It is EXACTLY 20 day until my 22nd birthday, and possibly the end of the world. I just realized that I was a slack blogger for the month of November. It went by so quickly. I have a goal for myself this month to workout and blog everyday this month.

Now to update on the past three days. On Tuesday, I stated that I talked to a friend that I haven't talked to in a long time. His name is Aaron, but everyone calls him AJ. He is one of those good ole country boys. I met him when I was a sophomore in high school and he graduated while I was in 8th grade. He is the cousin of my then best friend. The first time I spent the night with my friend, I had an instant attraction to him, but she told me that he was no good and that she didn't like the idea of her friends dating him. I had feelings for him, but also had my heart broken a few months before meeting AJ and liked someone else at the time.

The few times I went over there I would hope that he would talk to me, but everytime he was with his then girlfriend and their son Sean. Nothing happend. We lost contact and I found him through MySpace. We started talking and he came over one time and nothing happend. he met Cayce and Sammy when she was a baby. A few months later, he became engaged again and had another son, Hunter.

Tuesday night, I let everything go. I don't know what came over me, I just wanted everything off my chest and he just broke up with his girlfriend Mandie and they are on again- off again. I just don't know what to do. I'm happy with Cayce, but I'm thinking, should I give AJ a shot or should we have tried to have a relationship years ago. I don't want to mess things up between Cayce and I. I don't want to lose my family and everything I have. So, I have decided that being friend with AJ is not going to work out because I will always think what if, and I can not jepordize my life for a fling.

Anyways, the rest of this month will be about my family and I. I plan on working out and getting my life on a better level.

Godd Night all.
