So much has happened since I last posted! How about 2020? I remember people complaining about things going on in their lives ladt year and how they couldn't wait ubtil "next year". Well it is now here. Everyone has to wear a mask now, places have closed down either temporarily or for good. Kids are being homeschooled. Everyone is just trying to live life.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-81432636264650407052012-05-08T05:24:00.000-07:002012-05-08T05:25:31.027-07:00New TVWe just got a new 42 inch Television. It is set up with the WIFI and everything. Things sure have come a long way since I was a kid and there was the wooden floor model 25 inch TV with NO REMOTE. I was the remote and my parents did not let me forget that...Now there are <a href="http://www.standsandmounts.com/plasmaandlcdmounts.aspx">flat panel mounts</a> so that your TV is not taking up your entire floor and your don't have to buy a TV stand for them, which as sensitive as these things are, you really want them bolted to the wall anyway so that they don't fall and break as easy.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-70403220877147041202012-05-08T05:15:00.001-07:002012-05-08T05:15:23.811-07:00I am so tired!Well, it rained yesterday. Thank goodness the boys all had been swimming in our pool after school and were tired when it started, so they went and laid down. So that gave me a little bit of time to be able to get a rest as well. I have been averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night so this was very much needed.
I woke up this morning to my clothes not being dry. Apparently my dryer that I bought back in 1995 is finally dying on me. I guess I will have to hand our clothes out to dry on our fence since we don't really have anywhere for a clothes line in back. I just hope that it doesn't rain so that I can do the wash and that the humidity doesn't make it take forever.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-9783424838802633372011-12-13T19:19:00.000-08:002011-12-13T19:21:38.678-08:00When can you efile for taxes?I am starting to get excited about getting my tax return again.

Lets face it, the kids are too young to get me anything and my husband, well he has no idea what to get me either. If I don't get it myself, then I will probably end up with an iron or a vacuum cleaner lol. I am really leaning towards one of those new fan-dangled <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=e-book-readers">book reader</a>. I think they are pretty cool. I love to read, but for the last 8 years have not done much of it other than school because my kids would loose my place or tear my pages. I think this is a great idea for me.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-60648679173164689172011-12-09T05:10:00.001-08:002011-12-09T05:11:11.926-08:00Sale at Dollar GeneralRight now, they have a 25% off sale going on at Dollar General.

It will be a blast, but it could also get expensive too. We are looking at getting a motor home, But along with a motor home, comes <a href="http://www.goodsamesp.com/">motor home repairs</a>. I think this will be okay though, we just have to really be selective about the home that we end up buying. I would also like to just go camping here in the area, maybe at the Beach too. Renting a camp site is a lot less expensive than a hotel room and you don't have to worry about who was sleeping in your sheets before you!Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-85529475392262561542011-12-04T18:49:00.001-08:002011-12-04T18:50:01.454-08:00BMXSo apparently I am going to be a BMX mom as apposed to a Soccer Mom. I think I can live with that. We are just trying to get the best equipment at the best prices though which is taking a bit of time, but it is starting to pan out at least.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-21745387000861591212011-12-04T18:45:00.000-08:002011-12-04T18:47:45.180-08:00I have a friendI have a friend that is looking into <a href="http://rapiddetoxlasvegas.com/">rapid detox centers</a> for her husband. Apparently he is really having a hard time this time of year with his addictions. I am so glad that the worst thing I have to worry about with my husband is his smoking. Although, I would really love for him to quit that as well. It costs so much and it is doing so much damage to his body on top of it. But then again, I could be dealing with what she is dealing with instead.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-41513959136119161352011-12-04T18:43:00.001-08:002011-12-04T18:45:24.592-08:00Wish I had started earlierI did not start shopping as early for Christmas presents this year as I have done in previous years. I do not like the feelings that I am having of anxiety, because I feel like I am not going to be able to find or afford what I want to get my kids for Christmas this year. I am going to make sure to save up some of my tax refund this next year and put it away in a Christmas account so that I do not have to go through this again next year, this feeling is evil.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-72231414559948957622011-12-04T18:36:00.000-08:002011-12-04T18:38:47.067-08:00Available jobsIt used to be that <a href="http://www.hospitalityjobsite.com/jobsearch/travel-hospitality/food-service/default.asp?job=bartender">Bartender Jobs</a> were just to get you through school. Now with the economy the way it is, it is a great job to have. My sister was a bartender for years while she was raising her daughter. It allowed her to be home with her during the hours that she was awake. With the economy the way it is, it is a great job to have as people still have to drink right? And they are probably drinking more since the economy is suck a wreck on top of it.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-17621970473886953902011-12-04T18:35:00.001-08:002011-12-04T18:36:12.610-08:00Cheap way to buy for ChristmasIf you are looking for Christmas items for kids for cheap, do not forget to check out Craig's list. I found so much stuff last year it was unbelievable. And my kids never knew or anything.

How about<a href="http://www.foulmouthshirts.com/funny-t-shirts/">funny tee shirts</a>? I mean everyone has to wear clothes right? Why not make it fun too? I think I might have to get one for my husband. I am positive that he will love it. He loves great tee shirts.

We got there and realized that there were at least 4 bus loads of kids from The Florida Challenge Accademy about to go in to eat. That sucked. My husband got himself and the older two kids plates and when they got back to the table for me and my youngest to go get ours, it was totally packed and we had to wait for all of those kids to get their food. It was soooo loud that you could not hear yourself think. It sucked. But it was good food at least...Maybe next time it will be more relaxing of a time though.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-42981913335666878572011-11-28T16:11:00.000-08:002011-11-28T16:14:25.222-08:00Great Footwear CouponsI just got a coupon deal in my box. These days it is really hard to pass up any <a href="http://www.dropdowndeals.com/famous+footwear-coupons">famous footwear coupons</a> or many others for that matter with the economy the way it is. It is a great way to save some money on needed essentials like footwear for the entire family. I know that as soon as we get new shoes for everyone, it is time to get another pair for the first one that I bought for, it is a never ending cycle it seems.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-66641160220587230722011-10-20T19:50:00.000-07:002011-10-20T19:53:42.364-07:00ClothesWell, I have realized that I need to seriously think about getting some new clothes. It is now cold weather, and well, I have no clothes for cold weather. I have grown out of my prepregnancy clothes and I have gotten rid of all of my <a href="http://www.babiesnbellies.com/">maternity clothes</a>. Not that I had many cool weather maternity clothes since we live in Florida and all. But wow, so now I have to get 2 jackets for my kids this week and figure something out for myself as well. Not so fun for this jean, tshirt and flip flop kinds of gal.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-78694290386316447522011-10-20T19:48:00.001-07:002011-10-20T19:50:16.943-07:00Oh thi s is too funnyWell, I was just cruising our local Craigs List, and I saw an ad for three costumes.

I had this problem when I was pregnant too. I had to go to my Dr. a couple of times because it was so bad. The only thing that I could find to relieve the pain was my trusty <a href="http://www.dreamessentials.com/category-8/body-pillows">body pillow</a>. I wish that I had not gotten rid of it after my last son. I never thought that I would be in need of it like I am, but I am! It is the nicest thing in the world to just cuddle up to a nice old body pillow. If you haven't tried one and are having hip pain, you might want to.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-79087020215930517172011-10-20T19:38:00.000-07:002011-10-20T19:39:38.074-07:00Kids and the dogI am just waiting for the dog to wake the kids up. It never fails that about this time of night, our dog starts barking and does so until after midnight when my hubby gets home:/ My sons are all in bed tonight and NOT IN MY BED for once.

I think that my husband has finally blown one of the speakers in it. I can hear a ratling when I turn the radio up a little bit. I have no idea how he was able to do that by playing country music...I guess I will have to go out and get a new set of <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Car+Audio+Speakers">marine speakers</a> because that rattling noise is really going to drive me insane to have to listen to daily.

We are on the lookout of a uniform for him. Since everyone in the entire country has just signed up for scouting, the tops are sky high right now. I mean shirts that you would normally pick up for $5.00 to $8.00 are now $25.00 which is the cost of a brand new one. My son will only wear it once a week while school is in and on camp outs. This is crazy. I guess I will just buy a new one online not from eBay and pass it down to my other boys when the time comes...Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-9631829526447676872011-09-21T20:32:00.000-07:002011-09-21T20:36:19.701-07:00Cell phonesYou know cell phones are silly, they really are. I have no idea why someone in this day and age would buy one with a 2 year contract. I have one of those <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=prepaid-cell-phones">prepaid cell phones</a> and I love it. It has unlimited minutes as well as texting and web for less than $50 a month and no contract either. I really just don't understand why someone would lock themselves into a contract especially one that is 2 years long like most of them are and have the thought that you might have to pay one of those hefty cancellation fees if you can't pay or want to switch companies.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5932585702697788883.post-80324555922126241062011-09-21T20:30:00.000-07:002011-09-21T20:32:17.320-07:003 year old....I really wish that I could get my 3 year old to go to bed like everyone else.

The reason that we don't know is allergies in the home, and well, my husband does not like them because of their fur and because "they pee everywhere". Our last cat used a litter pan very well but he was also neutered later than he should have been, he had already started to "spray". I explained to my hubby that we could get some <a href="http://www.greenchemdirect.com/Pet-Care-cat19.html?parentId=1">cat urine odor remover</a> if we decide to get a cat again and you would never even know that cat was around.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02347610391928459393noreply@blogger.com1
