I'm
still here - thankfully not floating down the river. We have had
so much rain. A lot of farmland has been flooded, sides of the
road, some water over roads, basements flooding - it's crazy.
Saturday I planted all my violets and pansies, a long with my new
Salvia plant and then the storms started. I hope they live and
don't drown. The pansies at least are in pots under the overhang,
so they should be ok, but the others got drenched. The rain still
kept coming into yesterday. That's a long time. Our extended
forecast is so pretty though -
Friday: A 40 percent chance of showers before 1pm. Mostly
cloudy, with a high near 64. Breezy, with a north wind between 10
and 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Friday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 39. North
wind between 5 and 15 mph.
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. West wind
around 5 mph.
Saturday Night: Clear, with a low around 47.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 80.
Sunday Night: Clear, with a low around 50.
Monday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 82.
Monday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 52.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 79.
Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 51.
Wednesday: Partly cloudy, with a high near 74.
I am very ready for the warm sun and temps suitable for taking
Ariana on walks and to the park during the day. I am determined
to lose a little before summer comes. I don't care if I am ever
thin - have always been curvy, but I just want to wear my clothes
and not have to buy a new wardrobe. I am about a size or so away
from my prepregnancy size (of my fourth child - I will never have
the body back from before my first baby, 
) and I have been making due with a tiny
choice of clothing for a while now. I have bought a few new
things, but just can't seem to buy anymore. I have lots of
clothes and I want to use those. I am not a good dieter though.
Can't pass up my goodies. I will ever give up chocolate, donuts
or pizza - but I know if I walk more and get active - more than I
am now anyway, I will be able to accomplish my goal. I am still
incorporating lots of healthy choices into our grocery list. The
kids eat wheat bread all the time now - I just need to switch it
to whole grain now. It's just so darn expensive. I buy bread for
a little over $1 - wal-mart brand wheat bread. I was looking at
the whole grain brands and they are well over $2 nowadays. Crazy!
I buy apples and bananas - occasionally other fruits, but they
are so high in price and usually taste crappy anymore. I went in
to buy some tomatoes the other day and I think there was 6 or 7
different kinds and none of them were the pretty red you look
for. They weren't ripe or too ripe. It's disappointing. We have
been eating lots of salads with our dinners and I do get a lot of
sugar-free and low-fat things. If they taste terrible to me
though, they are gone. I want to eat healthier, not kill my
taste-buds. I enjoy food and hate to have that ruined in any way.
Our village is having city-wide garage sales this weekend. I
really don't know where the advertise when they are doing it so
you can get your sale ready. In the nearly 10 years I have been
here, I have never seen anything or been informed of it. I go to
it, but never have my own. I thought about asking someone, but
decided not to. I usually have a garage sale at my Dad's shop in
other city. It's more populated and the location is great. I have
tons of stuff there to have another sale, just haven't done it.
Sad - all that stuff going to waste. I need to get off my butt
and do it! I am going to go garage-saling this weekend though.
Hubby is supposed to have the weekend off, so that's what we
decided. They better not call him in to work. We are thinking
about an auction too. We'll have to see.
Yesterday, Montana participated in the Nebraska Kids Fitness and
Nutrition Day. I think it was just fourth graders - they came
from all surrounding schools and had a day filled with physical
activity and nutritional information. He said "Mom, I have
never been so full in my life. They made us eat and eat and eat.
" I burst out laughing. The boy who eats more than his Dad
was full. He said that they had them try tons and tons of healthy
snacks all morning, then they ate lunch. He didn't even want a
snack after school. I was trying to limit my visits to town each
week with gas at $2.79 a gallon and of course I have had to go
into town everyday so far!! Yesterday I had to pick Montana up -
they got out early and had to get their own transportation. This
morning we had to take Adelina's bike to school. The first
graders are participating in a bike rodeo today - Now I have to
go back in this afternoon to pick it up. It's not far - 12 miles,
but it's the time of day Ariana is usually sleeping and I have to
pick up the boys at different schools. It's crazy around the
schools. I like that they ride the bus - too bad they didn't have
luggage racks for this kind of thing. In my dreams, huh? Hey, a Mom can dream, can't she?
Sometimes I wish we lived in the city they go to school in, but
it would be so expensive and I would probably not be able to stay
home, and hubbies work would be 20 miles away instead of 8. We
are fortunate in our tiny village that its cheaper to live and
it's halfway between school and work. I am such a whiner I know -
it's not like it's tons of miles to go, it's just inconvenient I
guess. I like to keep things on a schedule - never stays on it,
but I try. We have dinner between 5 and 5:30 each night. The kids
go to bed at 8, since they have such a long day from 6:20 am to
4:10 pm. That doesn't leave a lot of free time each day for them
or us as a family. You have to squeeze homework, family time,
showers/baths, etc into that 3 hours and 50 minutes. That's where
a Mom could use a few extra mom's. To have even one more of me
would be fanstastic. Again, I dream too much.
Isn't the siggy
below cute? Kia gave it to me. Thanks sweetie - I love it. Love
watermelon too. I better go. Need to get some housework done
before heading to town. Take care.

Rufus, our puppy
escaped Monday. We called this show on the radio - Open Line,
where people post things to buy, sell, trade, give away and lost
pets. We put up some fliers. Called the humane society in the
city where my parents live. It's about 11 miles from here. He has
escaped many times, but he always sits in the front or backyard
and never leaves our property. Guess he changed his mind. We
figured that he was taken and lost to us forever. 
The
kids were upset and kept asking if anyone called yet. Yesterday,
I received a call from a woman saying that she saw a sign in the
bank in the next town - 12 miles away. Our dog was there at the
pound. We didn't even know they had a dog pound there. It's a
dinky village, similar to ours. We called their Sheriff's
department, the village office and then were given two other
numbers to call - the pound is not listed anywhere in the phone
book. Finally we talk to the guy on his cell phone about Rufus.
He has him and we can come and pick him up. It's $20 a day for
boarding the dog. That's a total of $60, but he says he will
donate some of his time and charge us $40. Hubby went to pick him
up. We can't figure out how he got there. Someone had to have
taken him to that village. He wouldn't walk that far. He said he
had posted signs all over town. The place didn't post it was at
the gas station in the village where everyone goes. It's a
meeting place of sorts. They have a little eating place in it and
it's pretty much the only place to go other than two
bar/restaurants/ We don't go to that village often - Hubby does
go to that gas station before work sometimes. He works three
miles from there. They didn't even bother to call the open line,
put any fliers up in the other surrounding towns. If that lady
hadn't called we would have never known. The people who have
lived here forever seem to think everyone else should know
everything. They have this makeshift dog pound in a building we
thought was abandoned. The guy was actually going to take him
home yesterday and give him to his brother. We were very lucky. I
just get so frustrated here. I swear we are in hicksville - don't
get me wrong. It's a nice place to raise kids and there are some
really nice people. The only thing is I have been here 10 years
in June and I still feel like an outsider. If you aren't from
here, you are one. It's just very clickish. You have to go 78
miles to a mall - which is a sucky one. 2 hours to go to a good
mall, Target, K-Mart, etc. I miss being able to go to the mall
and other stores without having to travel forever or having to
plan it all out.
I bought a few flowers to plant yesterday. Pansies, Violas and a
Salvia plant. I got a few more packs of perennial seeds too. When
Ariana naps, I am hoping to do a little yard work. The other
three kids are at their Dad's for the weekend and hubby is at
work. It's nice and quiet. Exept for Ariana whining - not sure
what's up with that - she's been doing it a lot lately. Anyway, I
have so many seeds to plant, lol. I need to get them in pots
inside first. Don't ask me why I don't have them started already.
I am behind this year. Montana, Adelina and I are experimenting.
We have planted some seeds right in the ground, and some in pots.
One pot we put 6 different flowers in - two seeds of each, just
to see what happens. I bought some cedar chips, top soil and peat
moss yesteray too. The cats are still messing in one of the
flower beds, so I am going to cover them again with peat moss and
the cedar. The only problem is I am not done planting in there. I
wonder if it would be a pain in the butt to put the cedar down
and just move it aside to plant more flowers? I want to go to a
nursery to get my other plants. Super Wal-Mart doesn't have the
best selection.
The weather
has been a little nicer now - windy though. Today we have chances
for storms. Yuck. Here is our forecast for the rest of the week:
Sunday: Showers and thunderstorms likely, mainly before
9am. Some storms could be severe, with large hail, damaging
winds, and heavy rain. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly

to 10 mph increasing to between 21 and 24 mph. Winds could gust
as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall
amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. Sunday
Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 44. Breezy, with a
north northwest wind between 19 and 22 mph becoming light. Winds
could gust as high as 29 mph.
Monday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms
after 5pm. Partly cloudy, with a high near 69. Breezy, with a
light wind becoming east southeast between 18 and 21 mph. Winds
could gust as high as 26 mph. Monday Night: A 30 percent
chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 9pm. Mostly

Friday: Partly cloudy, with a high near 66.
one day late
:: Friday Friends ::
1. Do you believe net friends can be as close as real
life friends? Yes - I had a friend online that was my
very best friend for a long time. I felt closer to here than any
friend I had ever had. We had a misunderstanding and are no
longer friends, which hurts me so much. It happened when I was
going through my divorce and we both had a lot going on. If I
could fix it I would - but she left the net recently.
2. Do you have a best friend? Or several? No, I
don't. Isn't that sad?!? When I left my husband, my second best
friend stopped talking to me. I knew her since we were toddlers.
She and I went through school together and went through a lot.
She is married to my ex-brother-in-law and is my children's aunt.
It's very sad, but I wouldn't change it because I am very happy
now with my husband.
3. Are you still close to those you went to high school
with? Yes. I have a few close friends that are in Texas
and Arizona. We have know one another many years.
4. Do you believe a man and a woman can truly be just
friends? Yes I do. I have always had male friends. They
are easier to be friends with that women - lower level of
estrogen, .
Oh, I rambled on didn't I? Probably more info than you needed to
know. I have just been feeling lost lately.
Starz is having a free-view weekend. I am watching Bewitched.
It's too funny. I better get going. Have a great weekend.

- We had a beautiful day yesterday. It
got to 72º F. We took a
long walk, enjoyed some yard work - it was fantastic. Today it's
gloomy and 20 degrees cooler. I want to get some more flowers
planted - if the weather will cooperate. I bought a big container
to plant a tomato plant in. I am just waiting to buy it. Last
year I planted Salvia - my Mother-In-Law had some and they
attracted butteflies. It was so neat. They are the most hardy
plants I have ever had. They survived major heat, freezing cold -
I am going to buy some more of those. We planted 100 bulbs last
year and only 14 are coming up. That's just wrong! I blame the
neighborhood cats. They thought it would be fun to use it as a
little box and dig up some of the bulbs. I am so sad - I put a
bunch of fertilized top soil and peat moss yesterday. I am hoping
they will stay away. I have lots of seeds I want to plant too.
Hubby bought me a little pond a while back and now we are going
to get a bigger one and do a little landscaping. We have to cut a
tree down near the house - whoever planted it years ago must have
had a screw loose - it's so close to the house. We are going to
put the pond by that and use the stump as part of the landscape -
put a flower pot on it or something. I can't wait. It will look
so neat. A guy hubby works with is going to give us a lilypad too
- I guess they are really expensive. I love flowers and sitting
outside enjoying the nice weather - below 85º F. I hate the
temps over that. I think when we are done it will look so pretty
and peaceful.
Kris gave me the sigtag below. Isn't it great? Thanks
again Kris.
- I
never got to finish my post yesterday! I hope that my friend Kia
had a wonderful birthday yesterday. It's another nice day - They
are calling for middle to high 60º s, but it's so nice out
already, I have some windows open. I love it. I am so happy to
see the sun.
I bought a table to put out on the front patio yesterday. It was
marked down and the very last one. I was really happy - now I am
going to get some pansies - one of my favorite flowers and plant
in a pot to put up on the table. I have lots of seeds to plant -
I thought I had one of those flats to start the planting indoors,
but I can't find it. I need to see if they sell those anymore. I
might just try my luck at planting them right outside. It
couldn't be any worse than last year. I started lots inside and
only half of the seeds sprouted - only the pumpkins actually made
it through the summer. I don't have a green thumb. Adelina
started her bachelor button seeds Monday. She received a pot and
seeds in her Easter basket. She is so excited. By the end of the
week if it stays nice, I am going to go get that tomato plant, my
pansies and see if I can find more Salvia. I need to look up
Irises. When we moved here 10 years ago, there were already tons
of irises planted and they came up so nice each year. The past
year, they didn't all bloom - I think I need to transplant some
bulbs. I need a landscaper to come and get everything started for
me, lol. I don't think the lilacs will bloom - they aren't
looking so pretty now after two freezes. I am so sad.
Ok - I better go. I need to get Ariana some lunch. She just got
up from her nap. Have a great day!

Where did the weekend go? Yesterday
turned out to be a beautiful day. It got up to 62º F. Today is
about the same so far. Thankfully the forecaster was wrong on the
forecast and we didn't get all that snow - Just some rain and
snow that didn't accumulate - melted and left things muddy. I am
afraid my lilac bushes won't bloom though - they were getting
near it and then we had 2 freezes. My bulbs aren't all coming out
now either. I have been waiting to do some planting for fear that
this would happen. I hope we are done with that cold weather now.
I am sitting here still in my pajamas. I don't feel like getting
ready. I suppose when Ariana takes a nap I will get ready. We go
to Mom and Dad's for our Sunday family dinner. I never did get to
go to the Humane Society Garage sale yesterday . We did go to the auction. It was just 2
1/2 blocks from our house. The garage sale was in the next town.
Hopefully I can make some garage sales coming up. The only thing
that makes it hard is Ariana and her goofy sleeping habits. Just
when I think I have her back on track it all goes to heck.
Ughhhh. I want to go early in the morning and with never knowing
when she will be up it makes it just about impossible. I didn't
cook last night either - we got a pizza and I even got some
donuts. I love donuts and pizza - not together of course, lol. I
was in heaven. What a treat!
My son came home from his friends house - with his friend in tow.
He is begging me to let him get on the internet and play
Runescape. This game they all love - including my Mother. They
got her hooked on it. I was looking forward to lots of computer
time, but of course someone always needs something and it doesn't
happen. I wish I didn't have to sleep - then I could have lots of
computer time while they all are sleeping. No one but Ariana was
supposed to be here all day until 5 pm. Ok - guess I will go
before he drives me crazy saying "Are you done
yet?"
See you soon...

I am back to post again - I just realized
I never posted about Easter! I ended up taking the kids to an
Easter Egg hunt at the grocery store, and I will not go again. It was nice of
them to have it, but the 3 and under group had candy thrown all
over the floor - nothing in eggs, jut pieces of Brach's candy for
them to pick up. The 3-6 group was pretty much the same way. 7-10
group had some eggs, but again the same thing. It was hard to
keep track of your kids - it was so crowded. Mine were all in
three areas. They got a lot of candy - I will be at least 5
pounds heavier after the candy is gone. Mom made hubby and I an
Easter basket too. I love chocolate. The Easter egg hunt they
usually have at the big park where my parent's live ended up
being held in the city auditorium because the weather was so
yucky. Next year it's only Ariana and Adelina - the boys are too
old :( and I think we will try the big hunt. I remember them as a
child and I want them to have those happy memories. My baby
brother, his girlfriend and their little boy came for Easter. It
was nice to see them. We had dinner at Mom and Dad's - ham,
velveeta cheesy bacon scalloped potatoes, broccoli, corn, rolls,
and for dessert we had a jello cake and a coffee cake I brought -
it is so yummy. The weather wasn't nice at all for the four days
the kids were home so we didn't get to do anything. I was so sad.
I wanted to go to feed the ducks and geese and play at the park.
I hope we get through this weather and back to the nice Spring
weather where we can play outside and take walks. I have to work
off the chocolate!!! Hubby brought me home some really pretty
spring flowers for Easter. I love flowers. I hope everyone had a
nice Easter. I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted!
A week is too long.
I just realized it's Friday the 13th! Ooooh - I remember in
Junior High and High School my friends and I always had slumber
parties and if it was at Debbie's house, we always ended up
watching Friday the 13th, Halloween - all those scary movies.
Maybe that's why I have never liked them .
I have been squeezing a tiny bit of computer time in here and
there. I miss having a long uninterrupted stretch of Mommy
computer time. Not sure where it went. I am trying to redecorate
some, finish some holiday pages I never finished, get my
collected adoptions up, finish a Mother's Day set for my members
area, and keep up on my blog. Not happening. Oh well - I am
determined to blog and blog hop while Ariana is having a nap -
which I might add is too late in the day, but beggars can't be
choosers. She fell asleep with a baby doll in her arms - It was
so cute and the first time she did that. I should have took a
picture.
We have had terrible weather again. It's cold and wet. We had
rain and snow today and are still in a Winter Storm Warning
through tomorrow. We have 100% chance of precipitation. They had
said 5-8 inches, but thankfully it hasn't happened so far. I want
my spring back!! Winter is supposed to be over. So many places
are just getting hammered. I forgot to check the propane and we
ran out the other day - it was so cold. I had to call and ask
them to come and deliver some propane and light the water heater.
Now I have to pay an extra fee. I could kick myself for not
checking. I know better. At least it happened before it got as
cold as it is now.
Hubby and I were supposed to go to an auction and the Humane
Society garage sale tomorrow - I hope it's not too bad out and
they cancel. Of course I won't be able to sit outside at an
auction with the baby. I love auctions and garage sales. You can
find some treasures, if you look.
We watched Happy Feet the other night - I have to say it is my
favorite kids movie right now. I just loved it. I watched
Superman Returns the other day when everyone was at work and
school. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I did. I think it's
because they finally started to allow Lois and Superman to really
have something together. Something always got in the way. I am
looking forward to the sequel. It's time for dinner. Gotta go. I
will be by to visit asap. Here's my Friday Fun...
:: Furry Friday ::
1. Are you
a cat person or a dog person? cat
2. Do you have pets? If so, what are they? 2
dogs, Rufus and Sadie, and one cat - Sox and some fish. We had
another cat, Goldie - but she hasn't come back home.
3. Are your pets animals or a part of the family? Right
now the dogs are pets - we haven't had the best experience with
them. Sox is family though as he's been here for 7 years.
4. If you could have any wild animal as a pet,… and
it would be safe and possible, what would it be and why? A penguin. Jus always
liked them - or a Zebra and Giraffe. Maybe because they all seem
so laid back compared to some wild animals. Right now though, I
never want anymore pets.

Still smoke free!! 
Oh my - my spring is gone. We had snow! 
Snow! It's cold and yucky here. It was in
the 20s today. The kids have spring break - it's weird here -
It's Friday and Monday, so they have a four day weekend. They
have other little breaks during the year, so I like it because
it's spread out. We don't take big vacations or anything. Anyway,
so they have no school and the older three aren't going to their
Dad's house. I wanted to take them to this park nearby to feed
the geese and ducks, go play at the park, take walks, get out of
the house. Yeah right. UGHHH!! Saturday we are going to go to an
Easter Egg hunt in a grocery store, . They have it each year. It supposed to
be lots of fun and it's inside, so we won't freeze our patooties
off. That works for me. Here is my Friday Fun...
:: Fly Away Friday ::
If you
could fly away,…
1. To any
tropical island, where would it be and why? What would you do
there? I never have given this a lot of thought - I'm
not big on Tropical vacations, probably because I am poor and
have never gone on one, lolol - but I saw a Royal Carribean
cruise that made stops at Ocho Rios, Jamaica; George Town, Grand
Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; and thought that would be a neat way to
do it. I would like to see the locals - customs, arts and crafts
- I have to shop of course. It would be neat to see so many
places at once I think.
2. To any cultural location, where would it be and why? What
would you do there? Italy. My father was born there and
I have family I have never met still there. I would love to see
where he grew up, enjoy the food, countryside - I think it would
be fascinating to see and take it all in
3. To any adventure vacation, where would it be and why?
What would you do there? Trip to Alaska. I have always
wanted to visit. It sounds so beautiful and the sites amazing.
4. What would be your ultimate fly away vacation?
Europe. The United States, Canada - I want to see so many places.
It's hard to really say one place. How about a trip around the
World - Italy, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, France - I want to
see it all. My husband was stationed in Germany at one time and
has told me so many stories about all the wonderful places in
Europe he saw. He likes to go off the beaten track and not just
see what the tourist traps show you. I also want to see Ireland
as I am part Irish and would love to try to find out some
information on my family. To go to any of these places and see
the local customs, the beautiful views, taste the local cuisine
all over the world - it would be amazing. Better go buy my
lottery ticket.
I better go - Ariana hasn't been sleeping well and I just got her
to bed. I need some sleep. I hope everyone has a great Easter
Weekend!

Still smoke free!! Thank you to Kellie, Cris, Annette, Annette H., Wanda Lucia, Stumbeline, Suzanne, Marge, Del, Leila, Kia & Zeno, Susan, and Stephanie for the wonderful spring/Easter gifts, awards,
siggies - you are all so sweet, I appreciate it so very much, and
I have all the goodies up in my Easter and Spring Cottages. The
links are on the right side of the sitemap. I am having a hard
time deciding on the sig tags to use in here and in my emails, . I hadn't been online for several days before
today - Last night I couldn't sleep, which makes no sense since I
haven't had much for days, but I got up near midnight and got on
and checked emails. I had tons, lol. I am now trying to post and
do a little blog hopping. I have so much I want/need to do, but
don't want too. 
and my little part-time job. I want to sit in my
pjs. Tomorrow I will.
I am getting things together for the kids Easter baskets. I don't
get them much candy anymore. They get goodies from their Dad's
family, my family, school - I got them some things they will use
and like. Kites, my oldest, Giuseppe loves mechanical pencils,
lead for them, pens, gum, Reeses Pieces, and I got him and
Montana these little cheap mini basketball hoops. Montana loves
to draw - got him a little drawing pad, skittles, this mini
poster coloring thing, gum, and I need to get the boys a few more
things - have to make sure they get the same amount. Don't want
to hear any whining. Adelina gets 2 Junie B Jones books she
wanted, a little flower pot and seeds, pencils and a pen, and
M&Ms. Ariana is too small to care much, so I got her a little
Dora the Explorer notebook - she loves to write and color, some
flashcards - she loves any cards, and hubby got her this Disney
Princess book etch-a-sketch or something. I can't remember
exactly, and M&Ms. Instead of baskets for the girls, I got
them these neat buckets. Adelina - Disney Princess and Ariana -
Dora The Explorer. Both girls have Disney Princess rooms - wish I
had done Ariana's in Dora the Explorer. Anyway, a lot of the
goodies were cheap - but it's so hard to buy for the boys
anymore. They want video games, candy, footballs, etc. It adds up
with four kids. I will have to look around the store for
something for them. The girls are so easy to buy for. I need to
get my nephew something. He, my brother and his girlfriend will
be coming from Colorado for the Easter weekend. I can't wait.
He's 3 1/2 and now that they moved, I never see him :(
Yesterday Adelina, Ariana and I took a 45 minute walk around our
village. Yes, technically that is what it is called. They say
there are 594 people - well the sign says that. I told you we
were in the boondocks. Anyway, it was so nice out - high 70s! Now
for the next week it's to be in the 50s and maybe even 40s. 
Hopefully it isn't windy everyday so we
can walk. I need to lose some more weight before summer - I want
to fit back into the swimming suit I wore before having Ariana. I
have a feeling we will be at the pool a lot - if it's as hot as
they say it will be.
This morning my boys were just bickering and being mean to one
another. They both got extra chores today. They mouthed off and
got more chores - I was ready to scream by the time they left for
school. That's too much drama first thing in the morning. If this
keeps up, I will never have to 
and I hate
to !! I told them that's why I
had kids - to be my slaves, lol. They didn't think I was funny.
Ok - I had better get out of here. Should have showered before
Ariana woke up. Maybe I still can. Have super .
