It's cold outside

I have wanted to write so bad but couldn't find the words to put out. It's one week away from Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for. I am one of the very many lucky people to say that I have been saved and that I do live my life to the best of my ability for God. He has given me a family that I may not see eye to eye with at times, but we all love each other-regardless. He has also given me three AMAZING children who are my world. Everything that I do, I do it for them. I love being able to wake up of a morning and making the 20 minute drive to Remlap everyday. I love how they are each their OWN person and diffrent in their own ways, but still alot alike at the same time. I have the best "in-laws" that anyone could ask for. While most of them may not like me too much, they are still great. I learn from them to keep my patience at a maximum high so I don't "blow my top" too often. I am lucky that I still have Robert in my life through all these years. He does so much for me and the kids. I try everyday to let him know how much he means to us and how thankful we are for him. He is my best friend! God is great, life is great!

Manic Monday

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun


I woke up with this song in my head. I can't help but to dread Mondays. They really aren't that bad and it actually gives you a fresh start to the week. And this Monday, today, is a good one. Why you ask? Because it's...November!! I was able to save a whole lotta money this year on costumes, yet they kids got ooohs and ahhs everywhere we went. The only money that was spent, was for Steph's pants. Halloween was just simple and pure fun this year.

We have one more football game left for the first season with the Mustangs! It's bittersweet to see it come to an end. I know I've said it before, but it means a whole lot to be a part of it as a parent. I wish they would have had it back in my day, but at least my kids have it now for them. We played Oneonta this past weekend and I must say that I could have called a much better game than what the refs did. Although the numbers show that we lost, I believe in my heart that we clearly won. And the is for both the Sophomores and Juniors. I am so proud of all you boys and girls. We play Hayden this week and I am really looking forward to it. Steph's 'boyfriend' plays on the Hayden sophomore team and she is soo excited to get to cheer him on while still getting to cheer her sister on as she cheers. I wouldn't be surprised to catch Steph on the Hayden side a few times throughout the game. I am also sure that Jesse is going to be cheering Steph on during her game as she cheers. After the games, Dallas will be going home with her bff Lexie and Steph will be staying over at my parents house. I will once again have a Saturday night to just me and Kent. I said it's great to be a Mustang fan!!

I am going to share a few pictures while I get the rest of my thoughts together...
