Happy New Year...

I am just posting real quick. I will update more when I have more time. Right now Carole is here and just Pimped out my blog. SOOOO props to Carole for the new look.

ok.. bye for now but before I go the pic is of Emma on xmas

Tuesday!

OK.. today is my last day of work till January 5th.. OMG.. I am so excited to have all that time with Emma Bean. Today she got her present from daycare. Stephanie got her dress up clothes and I have to say she just loves it!! so funny. My baby is such a girl!!

So I am off to lunch with the girls after work and then I have to do a bit of food shopping. After that I am going home to get Jack and the Bean and then we are off to Target to get a few minute things.

Once home and Emma is in bed I will start making my Shortbread. This is the thing that everyone wants from me this time of year. It is good but a pain to make.. so up has to come the kitchen aid mixer and I will be in the kitchen for hours... good thing there is a tv in there.. lol

ok.. I am off like a prom dress

Monday

Ok.. so it is Monday. I work today and 1/2 of a day tomorrow then I am off till January 5th. I am super excited about that.

This weekend was crazy with snow. It snowed from Friday at about 1:00 in the afternoon till last night at about 6:00ish I think. SOOOO CRAZY.

Emma is changing her ways. She is very clingy and testing her limits. I am sure we will work it out but it is all new to me.. lol

Nothing else really happening. I am stopping at Kohl's on my way home and dropping off some Tupperware. That is really about all I have to report.

Bye for now

Ok.. it is Thursday. Snow is coming tomorrow and I have to go to the in-laws on Saturday for our Xmas with them. So you know what that means I have to finish my xmas shopping for them tonight right after work.. ugh.. no fun

Work is work these days. not good not bad but I have a job and I am very happy about that. I don't think I will be coming in tomorrow. They say 6-12inch of snow and there is no way I am driving in it.

Emma is doing great. She was very Daddy Daddy this morning, it is so cute. She loves my sisters cat Sally that we have with us right now. Sally this morning was hidding in a box in the kitchen and when Emma saw her in there she climbed in and sat with her. She of course held on to her in the box but was in there with her. She loves this cat so much I don't know how she is going to take it when the cat isnt' with us anymore.

So my sister Carole sent me a link to a blog she has read about a baby that is only 5 months old and is very sick. I will not go into more because I will cry like a baby but just keep this baby and family in your thoughts and prays. Sometimes I think we don't realize just how lucky we are. Life is more important than anything. Soooo the leason on learned today is be happy for what I have and that I have a happy, health, smart, wonderful, loving, baby and family.

bye for now

Scotch A Roo

Here’s how to make the scotcharoo cookie

1 cup Karo syrup
1 cup of sugar

Bring the Karo syrup and sugar just to a boil remove from heat add:

1 cup of peanut butter

And stir

Then add 6 cups of Special K….mix everything together

Heat ½ cup of butterscotch chips and ½ cup of chocolate chips together in microwave until creamy.

Spoon out the special K mixture on a cookie sheet and then cover with the chocolate mixture.

Emma is Great!! no ear infection just a little bit of fluid left from the end of her cold. She is great!

Jack is home! He got home just after us last night. Emma and I had dinner with Carole and the kids at McCarthy's. It was 1/2 price wing night and boy was it good. It has been a while since I had been so it was great to go.

My truck is fixed. Just a dirty terminal on the battery!! yippee.. I am happy that is done because with the bad weather this morning I had Jack drive me in because I didn't want to drive the Crown Vic in this weather. We are also going to get more snow on Friday so it is good that I will have my 4 wheel drive back!

I can't believe xmas is a week away.. we have to finish up our shopping still.. ugh..

I had a great cookie today called a scotcharoo!! Kathy made it.. YUMMO

I just got a call from daycare Emma is sick. I think she may have an ear infection. I have a doctors appointment for her at 1:30 so I am out of here (work) at 12:30 to get her. I really hope that she is just fine and maybe it is her teeth.

Jack comes home from upstate NY today, but will not be home until about 8:00pm.. ugh.. I miss him. I also got the movie BOLT today. YIPPEE..

I just finished ordering Emma's big present. It is the Rose Petal Cottage!! I can't wait for her to see it.

Nothing else happening. I have dishes all over my kitchen to met me when I get home. How much fun is that.. ugh
