Another Valentines Day over with....and my rant...

I've never really been a HUGE Valentine celebrator. Even more so now that the hubby works out of town and is gone for this "holiday". That in my opinion is highly over-rated. But whatevs. I got the kids a card and we went out to lunch. I got leftover candy and hugs. Best day ever :)

 Why do we need a certain day set aside to buy flowers, candy and a card? You know what I love about my love with my husband? We do those kinds of things (minus the flowers...cause I'm horrible at keeping them alive and to me its a HUGE waste of money for something that will just die) through out the year. We have our date nights, movie nights in, lunch dates, he cleans the house, he cooks dinner, takes the kids to school and piano just to give me a break when he's home. Yup, best husband ever. Hes been there through some of my pretty rough moments over the years as I dealt with some health issues and hair loss, and he never once skipped a beat in loving me and taking great care of me. To me that's deserving of Valentines all year long. Not just during an overly commercialized day.
According to the news 19 Billion dollars was spent for this "holiday" and that's actually gross to me. You are all SUCKERS! and not the good heart shaped ones either :)

The torture. The madness

I try. I try to make food last. I try to stick to a grocery budget and sometimes ( more than I'd like) I fail. I'm slowly getting better at buying the important stuff in bulk. Our main meats. Beef. Chicken. Pork. I can stretch that out for months. The big things of Sunny D last about 3 weeks....etc you get the idea. The worst thing I could possibly do is go to Sams on a Saturday afternoon. WHY?? WHY do I do that to myself? It's not like I'm that busy Monday thru Friday! O well lesson learned. When I do go back it will be on a Tuesday morning....a few months from now!

New School Year

The new year is upon us all. The kids and I are glad to have our routines and schedules back in full swing. I don't think the transition phased dad one bit :) I have had a hard time adjusting to my time at home. Jaxon is going all day now and that leaves me with 7 hours of uninterrupted time. Time to get things done for my photography business. Time to clean the house. Time to organize closets and do the things that I neglected over the summer. I feel lost with out him in the afternoons. I just hope he's missing me as well :) Jessie wasn't as excited to go back to school. In her world summer would last until Christmas and Christmas break would end in May. But it is a bittersweet year for her. She's the big 5th grader and it's her last year at the school she has known since the 1st grade. A lot of friends will be going separate ways come next year when they enter Middle School. She will be taking on the violin this year. She is maturing and grow...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
