New firepit!

So I went ahead and bought the firepit yesterday. And it's beautiful! The cover ripped right away, so I'm going to have to go out and find a quality one. And I'm going to invest in some fireplace tools.

I don't know yet about the outdoor speaker. I think I'm going to wait on that one 'til I really need it. I think I want to finish the patio before I need to decide how many speakers and where to put them.

So anyways, we had a mini-hangout last night. Just to try it out. Me and John roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. Joe and Mike drank =). I think it turned out pretty well.

Give me another month, and my bbq's are going to be "da bomb." lol

Meds, Cinderella, growing up

An easy Sunday.
I need to take a shower yet. It's 2pm. That's gross. Lol.

Soooo....I don't think Will's meds are working. Then again, his doctor always puts him on the lowest dose whenever we switch brands. There hasn't been much of a change from when he wasn't on meds and now. Today he got caught sneaking toys to sunday school. Then he decided to start making paper airplanes during the sermon. At least we stopped it before he started throwing them...lol

And I took the boys to the play "Cinderella" last night. Well, Hailey didn't go. But Will was definately the worse of the two boys.

I'm working on a picture collage for my daughter. Unfortunately my good photo editing software is on my actual computer, and this stupid laptop has crap. So it's not turning out the greatest. But next week I am going out and purchasing some crappy Walmart photo editing software, lol.

And I've been going through kids' clothes today. I realized something. Within the next 2 years, give or take, John will be about in the same size clothes as Will. He's closing the gap. John is in size 4 pants, which is normal. But his shirts are around 5-6. He's not even a little chubby. He's just so big!! And Will is STILL in a size 8. I've noticed my "little boy" storage is growing smaller and smaller. But Will's petite, and John's an ox.

Well, I need to finish cleaning. We are (yes again) having a bbq. So I must prepare. Our friend is bringing a new "chickie" here supposedly. So off I go!

North is better than South

Did we seriously need more snow?? This had better melt....

Soooo....Will's doing pretty good on his new meds so far. We'll see how it goes.

So, after much debate with my Aunt that lives in SC. I'm making a list of reasons why the north isn't all that bad:

REASONS THE NORTH IS BETTER THAN THE SOUTH
-------------------------------------------------------
1. You don't need a fridge to chill your beer.
2. Bugs/spiders/seagulls that tear open your garbage are gone 9 months out of the year.
3. When it gets to 50 degrees out, we are HAPPY!
4. No one can tell if your car is dirty with all the snow on it
5. We ALWAYS have a white X-mas
6. We don't have insanely large bugs, and any bugs that we do have aren't deadly
7. People rarely have heat strokes
8. Less direct sun=less chance of skin cancer.
9. We have pasties =D
10. I can wear a bikini and paint my belly green/gold and the only thing keeping me feeling warm is a few beers. Let's see someone from the south do THAT!

Menards is a joke

I have a love/hate relationship with Menards. Period.
I have to reupholster a bench today. Maybe spray-paint some baskets.
Tomorrow I will tackle the daunting tast of finishing my bathroom. Just not today.

And I'm starting a new fitness routine starting Monday, since my membership expired to a local fitness center. I'm going to hate it, lol. But I REALLY hate being a fatty-boom-batty. My son said that I have another baby in my tummy. ouch....

So if anyone sees me out running/walking/biking/passing out on sidewalks, feel free to say hi!

CNA Certification

Ya know when you have 1000 things up in the air, and the ball is in someone else's court to get things done? Geez I hate that. I like doing things myself so that I know they will get done and done right. But I'm waiting for sooooo many important letters/phone calls to come in, and it's literally making me so ornery (is that how you spell that?) that I'm actually picking fights with my husband, lol. So if I seem a little negative in most of my posts, that's why.

I've been waiting FOREVER to take my CNA certification test, but nothing came in the mail yet. So my instructor gave me the # to call. The American Red Cross just mailed it late. I suppose, they have more important stuff to do, like save lives. Teehee.

So once I pass this, I get to apply for Certified Ass-wiper jobs. Yay!! But thankfully this will only be temporary. I don't know how long "temporary" is, but soon I can apply for my RN class, and I will need a new rake for all the dough I will be making =). And I'll actually have a job that I may enjoy for once! Yay!

So now there's only 999 things up in the air that I can't do anything about buy wait. But I sure can call people to inquire about progress until they actually want to drop what they are doing to wait on me.......yeah.....
