Me My Life and More..

4t h GRADE!!! Where has the time gone?? I'm a mother of a 4 th grader! Holy cow... My baby girl is growing up so fast I cannot believe she is in the 4 th grade already.. WOW I'm posting a couple pictures of her 1st day of school this morning..

There were no Tigers so I improvised.. Anyway so while Rob was in Atlanta for work this weekend I tried to figure out something fun to do with the girls on Saturday. We've been to Sci works and The Children's museum many times , The movies eehh that just wasn't gonna cut it so I searched on the Internet what to do in Winston for kids.. There really isn't much to do that we havent done already. So I thought Hmm The Zoo, why not the Zoo and that's what we ended up doing going to the NC Zoo.. We got up early Saturday morning took showers ate breakfast and headed out around 10:30 a little late but still not horrible.. 3 girls getting ready in the morning just isn't the smoothest! So we headed down the road and got there around 11:45 so not too bad considering this was my 1st time taking them by myself and not very good with directions. I used one of Robs old GPS things and it got me there so that helped! We pull up and both girls are excited ready to see all the an

We are finally going to DISNEY!!!! 2 months and 6 days until we arrive in sunny orlando florida! I cannot wait!! I excitedly booked this trip in January thinking it would be forever before we go! The time is creeping up awfully fast and the closer it gets the more excited I get as well as my girls.. Makenna has been begging to go to Disney since she was 3 so of course she is super excited the time has finally come!! Ryleigh is in love with the princesses and asks everyday is it time to go to Disney yet? I remember 1st telling them I booked it and dancing around the house like a loon singing were going to Disney!!! I think I was more excited then they were at the time.. I have never been to Disney so I get to enjoy the moment we step in front of Cinderella's castle for the 1st time along with my girls!! It will be a moment I will never forget!! We are staying in Disney resorts and we also got the dining plan which means I dont have to pay out of pocket for any food its all in the pa

As I was driving into work this morning I got to thinking about the date.. I knew it was Thursday because Rob comes home from Alabama tomorrow.. but Thursday August 14 th.. THE 14th!! Today is my 8 year anniversary at work ( which is hard for me to believe) 8 years WOW... it has also been 5 years today that I went into the hospital for my suppose ed "Crohns" episode in which I had to stay 10 days!! and then tomorrow is the 1 year mark that we sold our home in King which is sooo bitter sweet.. We lived in that home for 8 years, it was the 1st home we owned together, We completely gutted and remodeled the whole thing so it was ours.. it was the home that we brought both our daughters home to and have so many memories that I will always cherish.. I didn't cry on the last day there which surprises me but I remember it like it was yesterday.. Sometimes I miss that old house and other times I'm glad we left.. We do drive by every time we go to King though just to see how mu

This past weekend we didnt do a whole lot.. I did my weekly cleaning on Sat. morning, Rob mowed and cleaned the yard we got everything nice and fresh so we could just RELAX on Sunday... Ryleigh and I went and had our toes done on Sat. after all the cleaning was done. Makenna went to her Mimi's and since she just had her toes done the other week I thought I would treat Ryleigh to getting her a mini pedicure.. this was her very 1st time and she thought she was something else sitting in the "big seat" it was actually the pedicure chair and they only painted her toes not the whole shabang like I had, she picked out her own color and everything and of course it was PINK her favorite color!! they also painted little flowers on her big toes they were adorable.. Its already peeling and she says I need to go back and have them done agian! Ive created a monster LOL.. So anyway Sunday we pretty much laid around all day.. it was soo nice.. we rarely get weekends like that and this we

Ok so I get a call at work this morning about a quarter til 9, its Makenna's summer care seems there is a stomach bug going around UGG.. so I leave work to pick her up and figure why not take this day and clean Ryleighs closet.. No need in wasting a whole day laying around.. I'm going to post pictures of all the organizing I did this weekend and Ryleigh's closet (Note: I am posting a before picture of her closet just so you can see how messy it really was!!) Ryleighs toy closet before AFTER Ryleighs closet for her clothes she has 2 closets Makenna's Closet.. as you can see I buy them way too many clothes and shoes!! My Pantry.. oh look to the left you can see I painted the chalk board paint so we can keep up with our grocery list as we run out... My laundry room and there you have it!! WHEW next we have to finish our basement.. Literally drywall studs the works!! I cant wait!!

I guess blogging has inspired me!! I said in one of my posts last week that I wished I was more orginized (like torie) Well I am NOW!! WOO HOO Saturday morning when I woke up the bug bite me... I started with my laundry room When we moved from our old house to this one we went from a laundry closet to a laundry room, which I LOVE!! It could be a little bit bigger with a sink and room for my ironing board but I'm not complaining.. we also have more storage as well.. all my cleaning supplies and things are in my cabinents... I had a basket full of doggie clothes (sitting on top of my dryer) along with there leashes and supplies, geez when did the pups get more clothes than me? we have 3 little doggies ( a handful but sweeties) anyway a couple years ago we bought the new LG washer and dryers the ones with the drawers on the bottom that when I was cleaning out in there I realized these drawers are not even being utilized.. Well they are now under my dryer is all the doggie clothe
