Spa Filters

My husband is headed to my neighbors house to help him change the filter on his spa. We always help him because he let’s us borrow it sometimes as we need it. It really helps me when my back and arms hurt form carring the baby. First they will have to sort through the different spa filters and install the right one. After that I think I will see if I can slip in it because I hurt today.

Taking a Nap

I'm glad that Black Friday only comes once a year. I wouldn't like getting up that early every morning. Everyone here is trying to take a little nap. Of course baby Matt is not co-operating , he only slept about thirty minutes. My husband went to get him, but I wake up too just ten minutes because he is crying. Now the only one sleeping is Kuya Charles and we are just watching TV and watching Matt play.

Mens Tuxedo

Do you have a need for a mens tuxedo? I was just checking online and found that you can buy them for about the same price as a suit. I was thinking they would be way more expensive. They are even selling them at almost fifty percent off. It’s a great deal for anyone that goes to many formal events. So if you need a tuxedo, just go check out and see if buying one would save you money on the long run.

Shopping Again

It's off to Sears and J C Penney this morning. Baby Matt had a rough night around mid-night. It took a minute to find out what was his problem. He is cutting more teeth so we gave him some oral-jell and Tylenol for his pain. After he calmed down in thirty minutes, he went to sleep finally. He woke up at 6:00 A.M. and his dad made a very big mess cleaning a popo diaper. It must have been some site. Dad got it all over the bed sheets and Matt's clothes. He had to wind up cleaning the baby in the bathtub. I wish I could have been here to see that one. Dad admitted that it's hard to be a mom and that he doesn't make a good mom. It's nice to know that he understands now.

Ceramic Tile

We have remolded our bathroom and living room so now it’s time to turn our attention to the kitchen. I’m thinking about putting ceramic tile in this time. I really love it and think it is a more durable product. I have been checking out some sit6es online and getting some great idea. Now I’m just trying to find a style design that my husband and I can agree upon.

Another Topic

I hate it when I get writers block. I'm trying to post something here and nothing comes to mind. My husband is in a football game and I really need to go sleep because I'm so tired. However, I'm addicted to this game in Facebook.I'm cooking something in Cafeworld and I don't want it to burn. I should just let it burn and go sleep. Maybe my darling husband will do it for me. If I can break him away form the football game. It still has about 15 minutes left to cook. And I thought my husband was addicted to the Xbox!

Amish Fireplaces

We have a small problem that we need to fix at the camp. AT this point we don’t have a heating source. I think that is one of the reasons my husband decided not to fish this weekend. We either have to fill up the propane tank or we will find some form of electric heating system. So I have been checking out Amish fireplaces online. All I have to do is call my husband here to see what he thinks. Well, at least it’s another idea plus it looks great!

Not so Cold Yet this Year

I'm thinking that last year was colder this time of year. All my husband did was grunt maybe and then he said that maybe I'm just acclimated better this year. However,I mean last year I really thought it was cold and was always wearing a jacket or coat, but this year I'm not. So maybe I am getting used to this weather. I know my sister will be cold because she has always been cold here in the south and she will now experience her first New York winter.

Spring Plungers

Does you use spring plungers or other types of spring loaded devices in your business? If so you might need to check out a website I just visited. My husband was helping our neighbor by using the computer to look for spring plungers. Our neighbor has his own business, but when he came home his computer crashed. So he came over and borrowed ours.

Back Shopping Again

I will wake up early and return to shopping again. I bought mostly for my extended family today. I plan to hit Sears and J C Penny in the morning. I thought my husband would plan to go fishing this weekend but he changed his mind. So I will sneak off and leave him with the kids again. Of course I can't post online about what I plan to buy this time either, so all I can say is SHHh! HEHEHHEHE

Anti Wrinkle Cream

Christmas will be here soon and really is just around the corner. I’m trying to think of gift ideas for my mother-in-law. She is one of those people that are just hard to shop for. I have been online and checking out an anti wrinkle cream. I don’t know what she would like or which would be the best for her. Maybe I can find a website that offers different reviews that could help me out.

The Baby Sleeps Long

Matt has been taking a nap now for more than two and half hours. He must be very tired from yesterday. He has a day like yesterday were he fights taking a nap because many things are happening around him. Today he is making up for not sleeping. I hear him crying now. I guess he has decided to wake up after all.

Live Chat Software

Now that I have started an online business I am thinking that I will need some form of live chat software to make the interaction with the customer a more satisfying experience. It’s just the next upgrade to make my business better and more efficient. I’m really trying to make an investment for better customer service. I personally hate the impersonally no contact, so I want to integrate personal contact in my business somehow.

Shopping on Black Friday

Today was my first adventure out shopping on Black Friday alone. I woke early and left my husband and the kids at the house. It was nice not to drag the kids or to hear my husband complain that I'm taking too long. Anyway, I bought some nice gifts for my family. I found some stuff on sale that was buy one get one free. Of course I can't reveal what I bought because some of the family will be checking out my blog and they don't need to know just yet!

Colon Cleanse Review

I have been watching different commercials and advertisements on television lately about colon cleansing. Since my husband suffers from different problems in that area, I was just wondering how safe are the different products plus if they might be able to help him. So I was online checking out a colon cleanse review website to satisfy my curiosity. Maybe just maybe, I can find something that will help him. I get sad to see him suffer.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everybody! I hope and pray that you have had a great holiday with your family. Many people here are struggling and eating at the shelters. It's hard to enjoy when you know others have lost their jobs.

Yesterday we all enjoyed ourselves at my mom-in-laws. We invited many of the other ladies that had no plans to eat with us. They were very happy too! They would have been alone if not for us and that would have been sad. Anyway, everyone enjoyed themselves and we had a great time.

Dental Implants Mexico

As medical care get’s debated by congress, I’m hearing anyone discuss dental care. My neighbor has lost his job and has been checking into dental implants Mexico. He has been researching and found out that many Americans that don’t have insurance cross the border to get affordable dental work. The highest paid industry in our region is the dental industry. So he needs to be seen, but he can’t afford to pay out of pocket.

Congested

It seems like everyone in the family is congested. I don't get sinus trouble very much, but it even seems like I'm not immune this weekend. The baby has a runny nose and the eldest needs to see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. We will be working in finding one next week. He has had too many ear infections and his Pedia said it's time to go. My husband is taking every medication that he can find. Everyone pray that we will all feel better soon.

Central Vacuum

I have been getting pretty frustrated with our vacuum lately. It’s time to throw it in the garbage. I’m tired of the dust blowing in my face. So I have been doing a little research online. I love online, don’t you? Anyway, I’ve been checking out a central vacuum and I would really love to get my husband over here and see what he thinks. Now all I have to do is find him.

More on Pre-k Thanksgiving

I went last Wednesday as I posted before to my son's school to help him celebrate. After they finished dancing in the classroom, they go to the cafeteria and they have lots of food there that the parents and teachers brought. It was crowded with many Pre-K students and their parents, but it's fun especially for my Pre-K student. He eat a lot of pecan pie and enjoyed eating with his classmates.



We are waiting our turn to get the food.



eating time... and he is finally happy that he eat the pecan pie which was the one he was waiting for



He gave me a big smile while I'm taking his picture.

LCD TV's

I think my husband has been giving me a hint of what he wants for Christmas. He keeps looking at LCD tvs online and calling me over to see what I think. I told him the one we have is just fine, but he said he wants to put that one in the bedroom and find a bigger one for the living room. I asked him what we doing with the one in the bedroom and he said of course we would carry that one to the lake.

After their nap

Last Wednesday, I’m using the van the whole day and that was my hubby's plan. It's because I’m the one that will drive my eldest son to the doctor, he needed to go back for a check-up appointment. Later I went to his Thanksgiving party and log out to his school.

When I came to his school this is what I saw him, they were dancing and I’m fascinated to watch him. He was really serious with his dance and some others were only standing. They are still sleepy because of their nap.

Best Weight Loss Supplement

The battle of the bulge is being waged in my household. I have to admit that we have been trying listlessly. Maybe that is our major problem? Anyway, I have been searching online for the best weight loss supplement for us. I’m using two criteria really; cost and effectiveness. The economy is pretty rough around here now so we are looking for ways to save money anyway we can.

Off the antibiotic

We had to stop my oldest son from taking his antibiotic yesterday. It was giving him severe direaha. My poor boy kept having accidents in his clothes. He tried to hide it because he was embarrassed. When we discovered it the poor child needed rash medicine. We told him to come to us when he have a problem, but I think he thought we would get mad. Anyway, we need to call his doctor because he did not finish all his antibiotics. He has a follow-up appointment on Wednesday.

Outer Banks rentals

I’m sitting here dreaming about were we can take our next years vacations. We are trying to make a joint vacation with my sister, mom and her family. We are trying to find a place near the ocean. We always go to the lakes near our places, but we want salt water. It’s because we all miss the ocean and swimming in the sea. So I have been looking online at Outer Banks rentals seeing if I can find us a deal.

Busy Weekend

Yesterday we visited the lake and my husband and his new fishing buddy went fishing for the first time this year. They started slow and felt like they were wasting their time until sometime afternoon. The wind and weather did not co-operate in the morning. However, they caught ten catfish later own and we let our friend keep the fish. I think he was excited, but you would never know it from his expression. Today our neighbor gave me some banana leaves from her tree and two new sprouts to plant so we can have our own banana trees growing in our yard. We just got them planted before dark. I'm just said that I did not get pictures.

Text Alert System

My husbands company just issued the people that do outreach new blackberries. They call them raspberries because of the color. Anyway, they were having a meeting after the burglary last week. The company is looking at a new text alert system to help them get word out quickly to the field. I mean within the last month they were burglarized and had three tornadoes in the area. So they are looking at faster ways of getting emergency information to employees.

Sick Again

We had to carry Charles back to the doctor again. It looks like he has another ear infection. He has stayed very congested this year for some reason. I mean he would get a little allergy this time of the year but he would shake it off rather quickly. However, this year it seems to linger on and on. His pedia said that if we don't knock it out this time that we would need to look at a Ears, Nose and Throat Specialist.

AED

My husband and his co-workers just finished a first aid class at their work.
He has always knew about CPR and general first aid, but this time they learned about and introduced to an AED. He said it was really neat to learn about AED. Now his company is looking to buy a AED machine and keep it on site. So I am online trying to find out what my husband is talking about.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is just a couple of days away and it is an important holiday for my husband. You see my husband is a combat veteran. In his job he works with other veterans in helping them find employment. I don't think he would like any other kind of work now. It makes him feel good to work with other vets. He even says it's therapeutic. I'm happy that he has found his dream job, I just wished it paid more money. HEHEHEHEH I'm only joking!

Hard Drives

It finally happened to us. Our computer crashed big time. We are tearing it open now to attempt to do surgery. I think our hard drive is gone. So I’m looking online at different hard drives trying to find one that will work in our computer. I hope that it is the hard drive and not the mother board. I have one more test to run to verify which one it is the culprit.

Rough Week

My husband had his office broken into last Tuesday morning at 1:00 AM. They stole all the laptop computers plus some desk tops. It didn't help that he was already scheduled to travel out of town that day. His plan was to swing by the office then head to a conference in Baton Rouge. It really messed up his entire day. He was happy to return home on Thursday night even though he came home sick.

Weight Loss Pills

The battle of the bulge has been waged in our house for the last six months. We get started on a diet and then for some reason life takes us in another direction. Isn’t that a great way of saying we lose our will power? I was looking online researching weight loss pills trying to find an effective one for me and my husband. I think I have found the right one, now I just need to find the money in the budget.

Weather of the Day

Friday was a bad weather day for us. We find out that we had some tornadoes here, when my mom-in-law called us. They have a tornado near the house of my brother-in-law and he received some damage to his house. It was a very sad news for us to hear. Thank God that our place is safe. We lost electricity for a couple hours and our street flooded and looked like a river. We know too that they have many houses that get problems with flooded and trees fell on some others, but we are blessed and nothing happened to us.

Mattress

My son needs a new mattress for his bed. His old mattress is just old and worn out. It is no longer comfortable. So I have been pricing new ones online trying to find the best bargain. I have also been leaning toward buying him a whole new bedroom furniture set. His whole bedroom ensemble is old pieces and nothing matches. All I have to do know is convince my husband.
