Update to the black beauty

Got the call that my new refrigerator would be arriving any time between 11am to 2 pm. Really a 3 hour window. Lucky for my they got her at 11:30. I was alittle concern about the size. We did not measure anything, we just went in anf ordered got home and looked at eachother like it should fit right? Hahahaha

She did fit snug as a bug... so happy but now I gotta fill it up with food, she's pretty empty at the moment.

Out with the old

So I had a busy weekend... friday visit my cousin in thw hospital, pick up kids from school. That night we had a football game which we won 32 to 25. #goBEARS #77 after the game we always get In N' Out which takes at least 30 minutes. Dropped my oldest off at his dads which is across town. Sometimes that night a fell asleep in the recliner. 

Sarurday morning bright and early. . Headed to smart and finale for my best friend. She needed some stuff for the shop and since I was heading up the mountian I got what she needed. We were going up to see her for the Coyote Howl Festival.  So much fun they had one of the best turnouts so far. Got home J had cooked tacos that night yummy. He really is an amazing xook.

The next morning day I go to make breakfast  and this aweful smell come at me when I open the fridge. I thought it was this coleslow we had made at the beginning of the week. So I pull it out and wash the container. We had take and bake pizza for dinner. As my dd is getting ice she yells mom the ice is wet.... WHAT? I tell her of course its wet. She replies no mom its wet like melting.

Wouldnt you know everything is wet... even the milk was perspiring.  Great!! I mean its been a good refrigerator 11 years... it wasn't the best or the biggest but at the time it was good enough. J and I made the decision it was time for a new bigger one.  As we started checking all the meet was cold but starting to defrost. So we cooked everthing we had so it woukd go bad... monday we went and bought a brand new side by side with ice and water black refrigerator.  Should be here tomorrow. Now I get the wonder task of emptying the old.  We think it must have went out friday to have thing defrost by Sunday.

Recomnected

These past week as been a doozie.. started off with a sick child. My daughter has these episodes of stomach aches. We are used to it now but its always hard to see your child sick and in pain.

Then my cousin who I haven't talked to in months ends up almost dieing.  Nothing lick reconnecting with someone you miss. We spent most of our time at the hospital this week. Lots of prayers and family bonding worked miracles.  She is doing alot better and recovering at our grandmother's house.

I've missed my cousin dearly but when situations are out of your control there is really nothing you can do. Im pleased we have been able to reconnect and there is nothing stopping us now. At least I hope. Sometimes people allow others to make choice for them to avoid an argument but when alienates you from your family its never a good thing. I hope the stregnth of our family will help bond will help heal all wounds and build a better place for her. She has a long road ahead of her, but now she is circled by family that only want the best for her and the kids.

Annoyed

I keep getting an error on my blog for the past two months... now when I view everything is out of place. I just want to scream. Nothing can fix it we just have to wait until Google/blogger resolve it... REALLY!! I have tried rearranging making columns smaller then bigger, nothing is working. I'm I the only one? I feel like it. I'm being punished for my crazy OCD habits.  I think about it all the darn time. Last night I was trying to post and instead of writing I was trying to fix.. hahahaha I already know there is nothing I can do but wait. The OCD had other plans and I spent another hour trying to figure it out. ARGG!!



Ok I feel alittle better.......

Yesterday was my final day at work. I had mixed emotions regarding this closer. I have been with the company for almost 7 years, went through some life changes during that time and found good friends. Part of me was happy the direction the company took four years ago was not one I was to keen on but it paid my bills. Being a single mother of 3, you just don't leave your job because your unhappy with the choice the executives are making. I really enjoyed my job, I liked going to work with my co-workers and having fun. I knew I wouldn't be with the company till I retired but it was a good paying job for this area, good pay and great benefits. Part of me is thankful my soul isn't being sucked out of me and the hours were crazy, no flexibility.  So there are things I don't have to deal with any more that make not having a job that much better. I think the hardest part is the people that became family and the history you have with them. Being around them 11 hours a day for 7 years creates a bond, when someone is having family problems we all grouped together  raised money or just talked and worked it out with them. That is what I will miss.

I wish you all the best in your future....

Run or Dye

 

 

A lot more people I thought there would be... so nice to see a good turn out. Maybe more things like this will start coming to my little California Town

 

The kids join us.. Family event and none of them complained.

until some unruly unsupervised kid decided to throw the cornstarch die directly into my niece eyes. Lets just say the adult that was with him didn't say word stepped away from us and the kid you did it became a stone statue. HAHAHA

 

My gifted sneakers purchased just for this run... love them. 

 

I have a before picture but it wouldn't load.. so much fun!

 

Running through Yellow!!

 

 

 

Plan on doing it again... Highly recommend the Run or Dye 5K.

Very easy packet pick up at 7am.. Yes seven o'clock in the morning. The packet consisted of Run or Dye T-shirts,  temporary tattoos, and a dye packet. What was missing was the bracelets/glasses/headband, one of those were suppose to be in there and none of our packets had any. The girls were DISAPPOINTED!

 

The line for the packet pick up went by fast and they gave us excellent instruction on what to do. I was even able to pick up a team-members packet without them even being there or me having their paperwork.  The starting lines were a little crazy, everyone started to get confused and mixed into each other packet pick up and runner ready lines. In our families fashion we walked passed everyone in line and got behind the starting line. That's where the fun and dye throwing began.  They let small sections of the crowd go at a time. We were the third section to go and every time we scooted up they had us stretch and threw goodies into the crowed.  Once we were off the first dye section was right after the start line... YELLOW!!  BLUE!! PURPLE!!! PINK!! and last was ORANGE!! at the finish line. I tried to stay away from the orange through thing.. it seemed to be the dominate color on everyone. This is the section where that unsupervised child threw a hand full of ORANGE into my nieces eyes. At that point I rounded everyone up got a finish line picture of everyone and headed to the car.

 

Things I would suggest....

• Cover your car seats before the race, that way once its over your not trying to figure out how everyone is going to sit in the car without turning the of the car into the race.. thank goodness I had a blanket or we would of been walking.  New car problems.. never want to get it dirty.
• Two towels per person. One to get damp to wipe off face/chest/arms/legs and the other to dust off your clothes and wrap you hair in. I got dye on my hear rest and door frame from getting in and out of the car.  
• a bag for shoes!!! This is probably the second most important thing next to cover your seats.
• Wearing a tank top under your shirt that way you can take the colored dyed t-shirt off before getting into the car.  Shirt will then go with your shoes in the bag.
• Try to park the car in the shade since after the race you will be outside of the car a considerable amount of time trying to get cleaned off as much as you possible can.
• Sunglass!!!!
• water (they did provide water but you never know)

ENJOY!

 

Babygirl birthday

Today is my Ce birthday. I let her sleep in just alittle. Then we went out and sat in the car to hear her annual shout out on the radio. And now we are off to get donuts. Normally we only get donuts once in a blue moon but today is a special day.

This weekend will be Run or Dye and then her party.. movie night themed. Got everything but the food and candy. 

So blessed to have her.

The month is almost over

So much is going on... I don't even know where to start.

Kids started school this week.. I had everything done by that weekend. So nice to be prepared.
Work ends on Monday.
My SS had her colonoscopy today and they couldn't find the mass... more waiting.
My blogger is still messed up.. page looks all weird
Thinking of changing the name of my Blog
Ce birthday is this weekend she will be 11 years old.
I only got one day off this week.
No time for crafting or scrapbooking
I read "if I stay this month I'm ahead of schedule.
Starting to panic.


Off to watch BIG BROTHER 16

upside down

My life has been turned upside since the start of this year. We all wish for a better year then the last hoping that it would be answered, but is it truly ever answered? I honestly don't think so. Life happens because of choices that have a ripple effect on us and others. I know we would all double think the choices we make if we truly knew the outcome on the people around us.

*My words come from the sadness of the loss of a loved one by the choices he made. Gone way to young leaving behind a young son and a destroyed family. The hardest part was taking care of him till the end watching him slowly fade away. I know your in a better place no pain or sadness, but I'm selfish and would rather have you here. I wish there was more our family could have done to help you pull out of those dark places that had such a hold on you to ruin your life. I pray that you didn't know you were coming to an end on this earth, but sadly I know you did. I hope being there with you brought you comfort and showed how much we love you.

*I received more devastating news regarding my oldest son. Medical needs that requires a lot of attention. I am trying to comprehend all of it and how I can openly speak about it. Until then we are dealing with it together weekly, hoping things iron out and we find a solid ground.

and.....
I lost my job.


WOOT WOOT to a CRAPY 2014!
