Yes Yes, im still alive.....and whiney :)

Ive been a tad busy finally getting a life but,with only one job ill keep the blog updated :)
****BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!    My cute adorable step bro is coming from England on Sunday.I havent seen him in 30 yrs,I 

One other tiny problem,since i never planned on going back, everyone in England thinks im tan,no wrinkles and thin ( thankyou photoshop lol ) Oh yeah and im pretty sure hes gonna wanna dig his eye out with a dulll spoon when he sees Ivins
****** I just went back to work for an Optometrist   .Who knew all those yrs of waiting to go to lunch with Jackie would have paid off?? I sound almost smart but havent a clue what im doing yet. Luckily Dr W is cool except for the times he tells patients hes on a budget and had to hire an illlegal alien, Ive come to the conclusion that i was hired for his entertainment :)   I love it though , especially the therapy they do with kids. Oh yeah! i convinced a very nice rep to give me an awesome deal on sun glasses---0hhhhhhhhhhh so cute! 

     Poor Dr W, today i had to break it to him that his tween/teen section sucked-im pretty sure he's passive agressive cos he tortured me the rest of the day.Must think of 
payback..........
***Tanya, (very cute and fun ) office manager/trainer may need therapy soon since i shredded things they needed and filed stuff that should have been thrown away :)Usually id bring her diet coke and chocolate but she prefers to eat cardboard crackers**cringe**
. ******Cant think of much else to whine about,,......mmmmmmmm payday isnt til the 1st of the month which seems eons away.


*****I'm in the middle of becoming a citizen , so freakin' expensive(insert angry eyes) i have one teen going to college, one graduating,one that lives in slc but visits occasionally to tell me how much grandma still hates me :)  and two tweens at home.
***Claire is a drama queen and her and her bobble-headed friends are all transfering to Snow Canyon for ninth grade so they can try out for cheerleading (i have nothing to say here that doesnt include bad words and a migraine.Claire's goal in life is to have perfect hair and be head cheerleader:)
***Josh just turned 16 and is getting his permit  (hey he still looks cool sitting on the stack of yellow pages.....hahahaha! ) Steve and Adam just got bigger and eat more,Steve hasnt grown into himself yet so we had to go back to buying thick plastic cups-im gonna miss the cute glasses we had.....
     Now that i have my own handy dandy laptop ill post more, for the 6 people who know this blog exists:)

yes i know its been awhile, like a whole yr but ive been busy saving the world and learning,,,,stuff

since i did SO well on keeping last yrs resolutions, i decided to add a few more :)


Im going to get organized  *stop laughing, i am*
Since i cant lose weight im gonna bake treats to make all my friends fat
I will not call the neighbors bad names and will not skulk to the car to avoid them
I will be more assertive and productive
i will learn the presidents name so i can become a citizen(obama,osama,so close)

Happy New Yr

This yr my baby goes on  a mission, all of my children will have officially left elementary school,and a new chapter opens in our lives.

With new health problems for both Ryan and i and the recent heart attack of my FIL we have all realized its time to change, not so we can look better, fit into cooler clothes etc etc but id like to be around to see my grand kids.

Budget cuts co incided with my decision to put family first instead of working so much, this led to me going back to PRN which is hard but i get one chance to be a good mom. 

Our family motto this yr is going to be ' a house of order' so my work is cut out for me.I am excited for a much better new yr.

Ill be sailing to work this morning ;)

actually as of this min its actually NOT raining, just hope the bridges i cross on the way to work still exist lol. I made rum truffles last night (replaced the rum with orange)they were consumed in seconds,Im thinking of doing a ton of holiday baking putting them in sealed glass jars , setting them out nicely on the conter and photographing them!they barely hit the plate before consumption. After work i shall attempt another baking session, i was just wondering how my mom did it but then i realized... there is only one of me not hoards of hungry teenagers living at home, ill never have beautiful Christmas tins full of goodies that i fondly remember .....unless i buy padlocks....mmmmm........

My cute little brit neighbor is moving soon and has been bringing me tons of lovely british magazines full of old recipes and pictures of places ive been and lived , i love them. Yesterday on the back cover was a beautful field of bluebells taken nr my home in lancashire. underneath was this quote. 

                                                      LET LIFE BEGIN ANEW

Every day that's granted you let life begin again. Do not cling to memories that leave a stab of pain.
Never hold onto a grudge that rankles the heart, every day a new adventure start.
Never ruin in advance your chance for success by brooding thoughts of failure and unhappiness.
Dont invite more trouble if you want to get along, by constantly remembering the things that all went wrong.


Make amends for past mistakes while theres still time to try,dont leave til tomorrow lest the chance slips by.
Let the dawn ring up the curtain on a lovely view. Every day get up and say that life begins anew.

Im building an ark

oh wow, after watching the destruction from the floods of 2005 i didnt think it would happen again but here we are again with bridges washed out and houses destroyed.
