Tuesday!
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
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

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

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

Monday!
Friday night I did have a Tupperware Party. It went ok not a big one but a few extra bucks for me.
Saturday was my nails. They look great! and then Jack, Emma and I went to Walmart to do our food shopping. That place was a zoo. Why do people just stand in the isle and not move.. WTH...
Saturday night Matt and Erica slept over. We watch Wall-E and had a great time. It was so nice to have them over and Emma loved it.
Sunday Jack worked till 4:00 so it was the bean and me so we hung out. She took a 2 hr nap and then I picked up the house. We had Erica's b'day party at my house. There were 16 people there!!! but we really had a nice time and it was great. Emme played in her room with her cousins and had a ball. I went to check on her and I opened the door just long enough to see her run to close it on my face so that I wouldn't spoil her fun. It was really nice to see her be able to play on her own with out me.. (but sad too.. :( lol)
Then there is today.... Monday 10 days till xmas and Jack going to upstate NY till tomorrow. Emma and I are having pork chops and ricearoni for dinner. I know it is very exciting and you are wishing I would invite you to dinner... well forget it...!!! its all my .. LOL.. j/k
I am at work and not working very hard. I am stating to shut down for the holidays already.. lol
bye bye

Thursday, December 11, 2008
I still have my cold. I think my head hurts more today then it did yesterday... ugh.. I am not looking forward to tomorrow. The weather may be bad and I HATE driving in bad weather.. I have a Tupperware party tomorrow night lets just hope that if we do have bad weather it is better by then!
Saturday I have a nail appointment at 10:00 and then I have Erica and Matt coming over at 6:00ish for a sleep over. I can't wait to spend time with them... I hope they want to watch either Matagascar 2 or Wall-E. I would ask Katie and Ryan to come too but I am sure Katie is busy.. not sure if Ryan is still grounded..
Sunday Jack is working till 4:00 at the PD and then we have Erica's 7th b'day party. Nothing else that day. I don't even think we will do breakfast club because Carole and the kids have CCD stuff .. but we will see.
ok.. bye for now

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Tuesday, December 9, 2008
Work is work today. Nothing much happening here. We leave in two weeks for xmas break and I can't wait. Jack is still in NJ till tomorrow he is hoping to get back in time to pick up Emma from daycare but that never seems to work out..
Tupperware is having some great stuff going on. I have to step up my game for January. I only have one party booked so far and I want more!!! so come on people. I am also trying to recruit two people by friday to win luggage and knives... we will see!!! hehehehe
Ok.. all for now

Monday, December 8, 2008
We had a busy but nice weeend. Friday was Tupperware party and Saturday I had to work in the morning. Saturday night Martin, Carey and Adam came for a nice visit. Adam is just the cutiest thing.. I could eat him up.. lol. Sunday was breakfast club which was great but Jack had to work at the PD so he missed out but all of us where there including Martin's parents, Pam and Norm. They are so sweet and I love when we get to visit with them.
After Jack got home last night we put up our tree. It looks nice. I will take pictures when Jack gets home with the camera.. lol.. Emma LOVES the tree which is why we have no ornaments on the bottom of the tree. LOL.. The tree we have Jack's Grandmother gave us and really is a beautiful tree... I love it. I just don't like that the living room is all cramed together in order to make it all fit.. ugh.. maybe I will work on that when Emma goes to bed tonight.. hmmmm
Tupperware is doing ok this month. I am closing my party from Friday tomorrow night. I am really hoping she got some outside orders. I have a party scheduled for this Friday but I am not sure what that is going to be like. The kits to sign someone up now to sell are $25 off which is great. I just need to recuit 2 people so maybe the email I sent out today will work!! hehehehe.. hint hint
My xmas cards are on there way to me so I am hoping I can address them this weekend and get them in the mail... fingers crossed they look good. As I type this I am thinking I could do lables from here... nice!!!
Ok.. that is all I have .. I will post a picture of my dog Cole just to share.. lol
A
Saturday, December 6, 2008
The other night Carole came over and took pictures of Emma for a xmas card. She cropped one and I just ordered my xmas cards. I hate sending them out but I do love when it is a picture one so I am excited about that. I just hope I ordered enough.. lol
On the agenda for today is to put up our xmas tree. We will see. I am at work today, which is why I had yesterday off and if the house is a mess when I get home I don't know if I will want to clean it just to mess it up again to put up the tree.
OH .. I did start out great this morning when I went out to warm up my Jeep and the darn thing will not start. No wonder Jeep needs a bail out.. piece of crap!! I do think it is the starter again which I have already replaced at the pretty price of $400 so if it's that it should be covered because get this it is less than a year old!! great right.. UGH .. anyway I will not let it ruin my day life is to short for that. We have an extra car... thank god so we will work it out I am sure.
Ok.. off like a prom dress.

2nd Update.. Emma.. she is getting so big so fast. Yesterday she was in time out at daycare for hitting another kid with her splash. When she got home we went outside and Jack hung xmas lights. Then we came in and I made dinner. As I was making dinner Emma wouldn't stop standing on the kitchen chair so two more timeouts.... oh boy it is starting to really get fun now.. lol.. not.. hehehehehe
3rd Update.. Tupperware. I have already told you I hit $1819 in sales for the month so I earned my pan and I also won a pair of poultry shears!! I am pretty happy about both being they are big ticket items. I have a party on Friday that seems to be shaping up very nicely. I just have to really focus on booking parties for January.... that is the next Tupperware task at hand!!
Ok.. Update done..... check

SOOOO Happy Thanksgiving Mom and Dad!!
I have heard from my aunt as well. She is finally on the road to recover!!! It was great to talk to her and hear her sound like herself again.
I DID it!! I hit $1819.00 in sales for Tupperware this month! I will get the sauce pan for free!! amd a bonus check for $90.00 not too bad!!! I also got a lot of free Tupperware this month. I am waiting for my Mod Mates to come in!!!
On tap for the weekend is friends coming over for drinks in the evening... we are looking forward to this. All we have to do to get ready is pick up a bit which is great. On Sunday I have a Tupperware meeting in the AM. I am going because I am hoping that I am in the top 10 for sales this month and get some free stuff again. After that.. NOTHING... which is of course a great Sunday.
My niece Katie is at her basketball game right now in Springfield!! Its her first game of the season and I hope she does well.......

Emma is a bit tired today. By the time we got home it was late and she was very tired. She went to bed without making a sound. I called to check on her at daycare today and she is being a good girl. Jack is off to Boston area for work today. I think that I will do that trip with him one day too .. I do love Boston
Tuppware .. nothing new on that front. I have a party booked for Friday unless she reschedules. I still haven't heard from her.

Monday, November 17, 2008
I came home only to head out again to meet up with Carole and the kids for a bit to eat. We had a nice time and they came by the house after to hang out. Emma loves to have them here. She was so crazy excited to see them that I was happy they came over after.
I have the day off tomorrow too and Jack and I are going to NY City. I am looking forward to this and hope that I get to see some great places. I haven't never been to the city I am sure it will be great. Fingers crossed for good weather.
Tupperware!! I have put in my $1000 order and now just have to wait for it to arrive. I also need to get the invite list for the party that book from that one.. I am pretty happy about that. I have go also get address for my nail girls party still. I don't know if we are going to get this party together or not.UGH... positive thinking we will and she will be able to get all the orange stuff that only a host can get.
Ok... bye for now.

Emma and I are home together today!! We are running some arrands, stopping at my work and then off to the mall. I really don't care what I do as long as I am hanging out with my baby.

This is one of the pictures of Emma at a week old. We had Adam over for a visit and it made me miss her being this small... so I thought I would look back..... :)
I am at work right now till noon. Then home. Plans for today are none. Carole and I may go visit my Aunt in the hospital... oh that reminds me I better have hubby take something out for dinner.
I am so happy that I only have to work till noon and then don't have to work again until Wednesday. YIPPEE!!!! Jack and I are going to NY City on Tuesday so that is exciting being I really have never been.
Tupperware.... tomorrow is my party. The host has 10-15 people coming which should be GREAT. I really am hoping for a good party in sales and bookings. I feel that it is time to step up my game. We will see how I do. Carole and I are going to try and do a tag team party ... I think that would be great fun.
Ok.... I am out I have an 1 1/2 hrs to go and then my weekend starts....

Friday, November 14, 2008
Tupperware is moving a long. I have my party on Sunday! and hope very much for a good turn out and cross my fingers (and toes) someone books a party. I also have one set for Friday and she may reschedule it. I hope that I can get it in in November I want so bad to get the sauce pan for free!!!
Emma is doing great. I had ordered some Tupperware and it came in a good size box. WELL that box is the best thing she has gotten in a long time.. she just loves it. OMG.. she is so funny. She even put all her babies in it with her.... toooooo cute for words..
I think Jack and I are going to try and put all the stuff on the deck away this weekend... but if it rains I don't think that is going to happen.. ugh.. mother nature !
Ok.. maybe I will post tomorrow while I am at work.... otherwise I will catch you on the flip side

When I got home from the doctors on Monday I told Jack I didn't feel well. Low and behold I was very sick on Monday night. I believe the 24hr flu.. UGH. I am at work today (yesterday I was off because the college was closed for V'day) I feel better but not 100%.
What the week head has in store? Tonight Jack is going to visit a friend and tomorrow him and Fuzzy Mike are cleaning up the garage. Lets home that means I can park in there when the snow flies. Friday I may or may not have a Tupperware party for Liz. Saturday I have to work from 9-12 but the good thing about that is I am off on Monday and Tuesday next week. YIPPEE..
On the Tupperware front. I am looking for someone to host a Black Friday party!! Come on people!!! Also hoping to get a few people to go to the Bingo on the 20th... we will see...
Ok.. that is about it.
Bye for now

Friday, November 7, 2008
Didn't do much today. Didn't go to work... bad headache. Sat around and didn't do much. I did clean the house a bit so that I is one less thing to do for tomorrow.
Tomorrow we are off to the craft fairs all around town!! I also have a Tupperware party that I hope is still on but I will know soon!!

Thursday, November 6, 2008
Emma was up last night from 10:00 till 1:00am. I don't know why she just didn't want to settle down. She hung out on my bed and we watched TV. She was so sweet just sitting there. She even dosed off for a bit but then woke up crying. I hope it was just last night and it will pass. She will be 18 months old on Saturday and her doctors appointment is Monday so we will see how she is doing.
On the Tupperwar front. I am worried about my party tomorrow night. I wonder if anyone will show for it. It was a small guest list and the host hasn't heard anything from anywho yet. UGH.. My party for Saturday may not happen now because the poor girl's apartment has a big leak and the landlord isn't working on fixing it in a timely fashion. I do have the guest list for my parties on the 14th and 16th already so that is a big plus!
Ok.. that is all for now. Its 11:15 and I have some crap ass work to get down.. ugh

Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Tupperware. We have a new sales flyer coming out and its great. I did earn a great piece of Tupperware for $10 in a challege last month. I also earned the 11 pcs freezer set for a good price because of a sales challenge. I am unsure what I will do with it at this point but we will see.
We went out to dinner last night for chinese food!!! so I dont' know hat Emma and I will do tonight we will see. I will get her at about 4ish and being its so nice out I might take her to the park.
ok.. so back to the grind with work.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Emma is great. We had a nice night last night. She is just a dream as always. Jack is headed to NJ so its going to be just her and I for a few days. Maybe we will do some chinesse for dinner tomorrow!!!
Tupperware.... nothing new to report.

Monday, November 3, 2008
Tupperware. Went to the monthly meeting and I was 4th in the top 10 sales people for the month!!! I am pretty happy about that. I also won some nice prizes. I have a party on Friday and Saturday this week!
Halloween was great. The party went off without a hitch. The kids were great. Emma had a blast. She was soooo good and just had the best time. We had lots of fun and candy!

Emma was great this morning. She is a total Daddy's girl the past few days. It is very cute but its my turn.. ugh.. hehehe.. She had a great night with us an went to sleep like a princess. I just love her so..
Work is work is work.... I am disbursing the last of the DL loans for fall and will be glad when its over. Dealing with the COD sign sucks!
ok.. thats it for now..

Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Emma is being a total daddy's girl. She doesn't like it when he is not around. This morning she didn't want me at all just him. It is cute but did make me a bit sad :(
Work is work. I was going to have to work on Sunday but now my boss is going too so I can now go t Breakfast Club.. hehehehe
Tupperware is moving right along. I have to close my two parties still from this past Thursday and Saturday and I am hoping that book party that I have out is going to make it in. I am going to be at over $1300 in sales for the month which means I get a 5% bonus check (about $65) NICE!!! I am liking it .. hehehehe
ok.. that is all for now

Monday, October 27, 2008
Tupperware is moving right along. I have a new recruit... CAROLE!! Yippee ..

Friday, October 24, 2008
Today Jack, Emma and I went to see Adam and Carey. It was great fun. Emma didn't seem to mind Adam. We will see how she is once she knows he is around for good.. LOL. Carey looked great and of course happy!!! Can't wait for our Breakfast Club to start up again with the new addition.
Tupperware... The party went well. I was still more nervous than I ever thought I would be. I think I will do a script to follow for the party I have tomorrow night. My hope for this month is to end with over $1200 in sales, which I think I can do without too much trouble. Again the Tupperware thing is working out ..... so far ... so good..
I went with my sister Carole to visit my aunt who has been in the ICU for two weeks. She seems to be on the up swing of things now so I really hope that by next week she is out of ICU and they can find out what is wrong with her...
Besides my Tupperware party tomorrow I have a nail appointment in the morning and that is about it. I know that my niece has BBall try outs so I hope she does well there.. but for me I will just be hanging out with Emma and Jack.. which I love!!!!
blog you later (yes Carole I stole it from you)

Thursday, October 23, 2008
Tomorrow I am off. I am going to visit my Aunt that is in the hospital. I am really hope that things start looking up for her. I am also going to go visit Adam if I can. Not sure if Carey will be up to it or.. if she may be headed home. Either way I NEED to see him... hehehehehe...
So... last night off to D&D in Ludlow to met up with the Tupperware ladies. We are doing a kiosk in the Hampshire Mall. I picked my day. I will be there on Monday the 24 of November. I hope that its a positive experience for me. I also hope that Carey may want to come along.... (hint hint) I would love the company. I have also booked a vendor fair in Belchertown on the 6th of December and I have to start getting some stuff together for that. My friend Liz at work has decided that she is going to try doing a Tupperware business... I am very excited about this because she speaks Spanish and I think she will do well with that.
Ok.. that is about it. I have DL loan stuff to do.. UGH.. there is like 11 students that I have no idea why DL doesn't want to let them go through, now I have to call there which is crazy. They work for the government.. you can imagine just how great that phone call is going to go..
ok I am off
A
Wednesday, October 22, 2008
I met Adam yesterday. He is just soooo darn cute. I do have to say that he looks like is dad, Martin. I am looking forward to spending lots of time with him and his mom and dad!!!! Breakfast Club just got bigger by ONE!
On the Tupperware side of things. I am going to be doing a vender fair in Belchertown on December 6th. I haven't done one yet so we will see how this one goes. They say its a good way to get your name out there and show that people do still sell Tupperware.
For tonights activites I will be getting ready from my party at Kim's tomorrow night. I am really looking forward to this one. Fingers crossed I get a couple of bookings from it. I also hope I get to see Evan (Kim's son) he is sweet.
Emma is at Stephanie's today (as always) when i dropped her off today she was playing with a magna doodle... omg.. she loves it. I have to get out and get her one this weekend for home... lol
OK.. of to work... blah..

Tuesday, October 21, 2008
Work today was long. This DL stuff is really starting to get to me. I hope that I can figure it all out soon.
Emma and I are going to be hanging out at home tonight. We are having something with chicken for dinner and thats about it. I love to just hang out with her and play. She is sooooo great.
On tap for tomorrow isn't much. Tupperware meeting in Ludlow I think I am going to with Emma and thats about it. Tomorrow is Judies last day of work and that makes me sad. She is a great lady that works part time in the summer here and I will miss her very much when she is gone. I hope we can stay in touch.
ok.. I am off to see Adam
bye bye

Monday, October 20, 2008
I am still waiting to hear from Martin about how Carey is doing and if she is any closer to having Adam. I can't wait to hear about his arrival.
Tupperware Update: I have a party on Thursday and one on Saturday. They should be pretty good. I also have a book party that will be turned in this week that I think it will turn out to be good. I have booked a party already for November so that is starting to shape up as well. This Tupperware thing is working out so far!!!
Plans for tonight.. watch TV and eat ice cream.. yummmm..
tata for now

On a happy note Martin and Carey are at the hospital and I am hoping to hear from them soon about Adam's arrival. I hope all goes well and everyone is happy and healthy!
I will check in later with more news..

Sunday, October 19, 2008
Today we did the Breakfast Club and then came home. Emma took a nice nap and then her and I ran out to the store for a few things. We came home and played in the yard with Ryan. Ryan was here helping Jack with some tractor stuff. Emma just loves to play with him.
I am getting ready for my two Tupperware parties this week. Kim's is first on Thursday night. The only down side is I will not see Emma on Thursday at all except for when I drop her off to Stephanie in the morning. Jack will not be home till late so there is a good chance she will be sleeping at Stephanie's. Emma loves it there but I will miss her very much.
Saturday, October 18, 2008
I stopped over Heather to drop off some Tupperware I borrowed (thanks Heather!!!). I have two partys coming this week and I am very much looking forward to them. My friend Kim thinks there will be about 10-15 people at her party on Thursday and she may have one or two outside orders. Now if I can get a good couple of booking from this party that will be great. I really do enjoy the whole Tupperware thing. I just placed a book order party this week and made $73.00 ... not bad for just having to hand out some books and place the order. I am sure I will never be a Dixie Longate but I can sure try!!!! LMAO.
Now I am sitting in front of the TV watching some of the Red Sox. I don't follow baseball really at all but I do care if the Red Sox win. So far they are ahead.... fingers crossed it stays that way.
Tomorrow we have Breakfast Club. I can't wait to see Martin and Carey. Tomorrow is there first anniversary and Carey goes to the hospital that night so she can have her baby... otherwise known as my godson!!! Adam. I can't wait to met you Adam. I know Carey will do GREAT and all will be fine. Carey and Martin are going to be great parents and I wish them the best on the next big adventure in there lives..l... Parenthood... Its the best thing Jack and I have ever done!
Ok.. that all for now..
Time for Bed..

Plans for the weekend. We are going to a book sale at the library and scarecrow making with Emma. I really can't wait to watch Emma do it. Sunday is open. We have our Breakfast Club in the morning. I hope Carey and Martin make it. Carey is due on the 25Th but will be going in on Sunday night to have Adam. Adam is going to be mine and Jacks godson and we can't wait to meet him!!
OK!! I think that is it. Katie says I have to finish the book The secret Life of Bee's before Sunday. They are going to see it in the movies. I hate to tell her but there is no way that is happening.. LOL
Next week I have 3 Tupperware parties to do. I can't wait!!
