Where do I begin? I haven't posted in forever. To start---I started back at the animal shelter last Thursday and worked from 11am-7pm. We had 28 dogs from a dog hoarder house. I washed dogs and was soaked! We ended up having a good adoption day.
Steves' parents got here Friday morning from Louisiana. He met them early and he and his dad unloaded the uhaul.. I was exhausted and stayed home. Steve went to sleep after that since he had worked that night. Me, Steve's mom, dad and Brady met at Walmart, did some shopping, ate at Subway and then went to look at the house they wanted to get. It was a very long weekend. I was exhausted.
Saturday Brady had bowling at 10am, he had his pizza party from basketball season at noon (they got 2nd place) and then the rest of the day we went looking at houses. Sunday we went to church, then to my parents house to eat. Monday we were out all day and then everyone came over to our house (we got a meat and cheese tray) hows that for cooking dinner???? Steve's parents left Tues morning.
Wed. I did nothing, today I got to the shelter at 11am until 5pm---I had to hurry home and take a shower because Brady had his pre-enrollment for middle school this evening at 6. We then went to ElCharro.
NOTICE--I have not started the OAMC, nor do I have any idea when it will be starting. Maybe not ever. LOL
His parents are coming again on Saturday.
My neck and back are killing me from washing puppies today so think I better go and drink my diet coke and lay on the couch!!!

Once a month cooking?
Has anyone ever done the OAMC? Once a month cooking? I am seriously thinking about it. I guess you are able to save a lot of money doing it this way. It would be nice to have a freezer full of food ready to heat and eat. LOL We always around the time it turns 4pm wonder what is for dinner, and then we end up spending at least $15 for dinner. Every night it gets kind of expensive. My mom was so organized --she always had every meal planned. I am turning into a bum. Just don't want to cook or anything. But then I read that someone only spent $150 a month on food for the whole month. It said if you go to the store everytime you get ready to cook a meal you spend more money. DUH thats my life story. I need to get a plan and get organized. I used to make things so easy for myself now it seems I love to make it as hard as it can be. NO more! I am driving myself crazy.
Think I am going to try the OAMC! and see how it goes. It said to at least start with 2 weeks worth.

My weeks have been going by so fast. I haven't blogged in awhile. I went to a funeral on Friday of a girl that my parents used to be neighbors with and my sister babysat when she was little. It was a very sad day for the family. She was in a terrible car accident. It is so sad when things like this happen, so sudden.
********************************************
On Saturday I went to a baby shower that my sister was hosting for one of her friends. She got TONS of clothes. She will be the best dressed baby girl in Miami, let me tell ya! She did a very good job on the shower!!

We gave Trey lots of Valentine flowers and balloons today.

We got us some new neighbors yee haw!
I'll finally have something to blog about again. Our new neighbors. How wonderful..... We have had a lot of different neighbors in that house. The first two were renters, the first renters were normal, the second renters were a bunch of kids that I finally noticed were selling drugs out of their house. They made it very obvious with cars stopping right in front of our house all times of the day going in and out of the house. I called the police to let them know, because there are kids in our neighborhood and I didn't want it going on right in front of my house. I don't know if they ever got caught but it was very obvious and I didn't want it happening especially with all the kids around. Plus it is a block from the school. They moved.
Our other neighbors next to them were micronesian. From the micro islands. The first day they moved in they got drunk in their backyard and one of the men went over by the side of their house in front, trying not to fall over into the little fence next door and peed right out in broad daylight. I had to call my husband over to the door to make sure I was seeing everything right. Yep, I was.
And what did I do??? Call the cops. I explained we had new neighbors and I didn't think they should be peeing in daylight where kids can see and everyone driving down our busy street can see. The police came out and went to try to find him. They have since moved.
Your probably thinking, What kind of neighborhood do they live in??? It is a good neighborhood, we live on the corner and there's a church right across the corner from us.
And yes those were the only times I have called the police.. ....................so far :)
This makes me sound like that nosey neighbor on "Bewitched", but no, I am not constantly looking out the windows. LOL
I see all of this because we have these humungoid windows in our house. There is one right in front of where our computer desk is, so if anyone is on the computer you see everything going on, there is one in our kitchen so you can see everything there too. It isn't like I sit and purposely watch everything.
Our newest neighbors, haven't figured out who actually lives there yet. There has been a girl with a baby and little boy and she constantly screams at him. I don't think she knows how to talk in a regular tone of voice. Poor kids!! It is sad how some poeple can't have children and others can have a lot and then treat them like crap screaming and yelling at them. Makes me very upset.
These neighbors are going to be sitting on their front porch all summer long I can tell. Oh yay! I'm sorry but it is one of my pet peeves. Why can't people sit on their back porches?? But then I wouldn't have anything to blog about, huh?
