Long time no post

Wow it has been awhile since my last post! I really don't even feel like writing this at all. I can't seem to get motivated even a tiny little bit to write, but I have to. My mom died last Sunday, November 16, 2008. This past week I have drove to Florida (yes, 18 hours of straight driving time so about 24 by the time you make stops) and back to make funeral arrangements and go through her things. It is still very surreal. I feel like she is going to call me anytime now just to say hello.
Well guys this is about all I can muster up right now. I will be back in full force soon! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Wordless Wednesday!

My hubby will probably die when he sees that I used this picture....I just couldn't resist!
This was taken at the "Spring" this past summer. The water if EXTREMELY cold...

Happy Wordless Wednesday!!

Crazy week...

I just realized it's been almost a week since my last post. I didn't even participate in Not Me Monday, which happens to be one of my favorite things to do. It has just been the craziest week I haven't had time to hardly take a shower let alone blog. I plan on writing a long overdue post tonite! Oh and by the way if any of you out there who just happen to stop by and read this post know anything about the spirits/ghosts etc. (I promise I am not loosing it over here) please leave me a comment with a way to get ahold of you. Thanks!!! Happy Tuesday!!!

Wordless Wednesday!!

Everyday is Halloween in our house!
Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Contests comments and other ramblings

I have been EXTREMELY busy today. I am so sorry I haven't gotten my contest winners posted yet....I do however have the winners picked! I will get them up sometime this evening. I haven't even had time to go visit all my favorite blogs today and leave comments on my favorite Not Me Monday posts. I hate Mondays....
I will be back soon with more. Right now I have to go feed my hungry child and DH.

Not Me Monday!

This week went fast didn't it?! That time again for Not Me Monday....my free weekly therapy!
1. I did not forget my entire list of things I didn't do all week only to sit here in front of the computer for an hour trying to remember them....they were really good I just can't remember them all!
2. I did not use the handicap bathroom at the casino and when I came walking out pretend to limp when someone else saw me. There were two other handicap stalls open, but I still always feel guilty.
3. I did not tell Alex it was time to go to bed because it was 10:30 pm Friday night when it was actually only 9:00 pm. I would never ever do this just because I wanted some peace and quiet. That would be selfish!
Well that's my list for the week! I KNOW there is more but I can't seem to get the cobwebs cleared out to remember them!! Happy Monday!
Make sure you stop by MckMama's site for more great Not Me Mondays!

Contest!!

UPDATED:
We have a winner!! I would like to congratulate Kathy at Mom of Many! Please head on over to her blog and take a look! I would like to thank everyone who entered this contest.

Time for another contest! I felt this prize was a good one to give away in dedication to Mr. Jingles! The following children's book is absolutely wonderful. We have all of these books (this one in particular we have two copies of. This book is brand new) and read them daily. Alex loves them and what's even better is so do I. So I bring you:
