Busy Momma

I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I posted. Work has been great. I have 5 clients now and it’s kind of spread out throughout the day, so it breaks it up quit a bit. I just need another couple of clients to put in between.

I got my new template for www.busymommawellness.com and started working on that yesterday. I’ll work a bunch on it today and tomorrow.

My family is out of town this weekend and I haven’t been as productive as I’d hoped. My scrapbook stuff got brought out last night, but I still didn’t work on it. I have to get a few pages done before they get home. lol I only have 3 appointments today, so can work on it in between. And tomorrow I only have an appointment at 3 so I can stay up late tonight working on it.

I also have saw 3 to watch. I chickened out watching it last night cause it got too dark. lmao There’s no one here to turn off the lights when I go to bed.

WOOHOO! Bears are going to the superbowl! Then to top it off…Prince is singing at halftime! Did I mention that the superbowl is on my bday this year? Fuckin’ A RIGHT baby! I’m in heaven!

I’ve decided that we are having a crab fest for the event. I haven’t decided who all will be invited to come over, but I do know they will be required to bring bottles of crown with them ;). The superbowl is usually late now and I don’t want everyone here all evening. lol Hubby will have to go to work for the second day on that Monday and the kids will have school in the morning.

Did I mention that Urlacher is going to the SUPERBOWL BABY! Now that’s hot!!! Can’t wait to see him with a ring on.

Ummm, I’m pretty sure someone keeps talking about global warming. You sure haven’t been able to see it here. Yes, we had a gorgeous long Summer. But we have had more snow days this year than any year ever. I’ve lived here all my life and the most snow days we’ve ever had were like 3. Usually 2 is a heavy snow year. lol With the 2 weeks off for break in Dec. we haven’t had a full week of school since the beginning of Dec.

Have no idea why it’s canceled. Pissed me off cause they waited until 8:55 to cancel it. I’m pretty sure that the 2 hours late start would have been just fine. We are now going to school on June 27th. This sucks!

Thankfully I work from home and set up my own appointments at the gym. I only had 3 set up for today and 2 of them have rescheduled already. I have to get ahold of the other guy. Even if I can’t get ahold of him, hubby will be home by then to watch the kids. I can run out there for an hour appoinment. I’d prefer to stay home, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to get paid. bahahahaha

K, I have noooo problem driving in the snow and some ice here and there. But yesterday our district made the horrible choice of going to school on time. It was bad, realy, really, really bad! Never driven on so bad. Now we went to college over in Spokane with a beater car and I never had a problem driving. That’s how bad it was yesterday.

We have fun sliding around on our road, we are used to that. But then I got onto the main road and it was a complete sheet of ice. It looked like snow was in there, but alas, it was compacted into ice. Some moron was stopped in the middle of the intersection. Brakes of course don’t want to work cause of the anti-locks, so can’t even pump them a little. Thankfully no one was in the other lane, so off I go to try to change lanes and go around if possible. Oh, guess I won’t. Guess the kids and I will go sideways down the road in the suburban. La-la-lala I didn’t even have time to panic. Makes me feel good that I didn’t, proves I’m a freakin’ awesome driver.

Should have turned around then, but figured what the hell, I’m already half way to pick up the other girls. Main hiway was stopped up because of a wreck. Needless to say my friend and I kept the kids home for the day. I can’t believe we didn’t atleast go 2 hours late like everyone around us.

Today was no school because it is even colder. Doesn’t look good for tomorrow either. I’ve been so unproductive! Not because they are home, but because I’m just off my schedule. lol

Every once in a while I get paid to post about companies. Mostly I use affiliate programs and companies that I already use. This is just a disclaimer telling you I so so.

I am a member of a couple of recipe services online. This is just one thing to make my life easier. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to cook. But there are days I don’t want to come up with something on my own and I definitely don’t want to make the old standby of tacos again. lol Dine Without Whine Dinner Recipes takes care of that.

Each week you will get a menu with the recipes and a shopping list. How easy is that? These recipes are picked by Mom’s to make sure they are kid friendly and approved. They also have a free newsletter you can sign up for with a special recipe included.

Check out their free sample preview and see just how easy it is to use.

Kick off is in 2 hours and 35 minutes. I HATE THE COWBOYS! I hope we stomp the crap out of them. K, gotta go finish cleaning before everyone gets here. Everyone wants to watch the games on my big screen. Imagine that!

But what can be expected from busy Momma, huh? We actually got up on time this morning so I got my emails out of the way early. Loved that! Went and worked out immediately after dropping the kids off. Double loved that! Home for a shower, then off to the salon. I can’t freakin’ wait to get my hair done. Full treatment again baby. Highlights, color, cut, the whole damn deal. I’ve missed my beautiful red highlights. I promise to work on pictures as many people have been waiting for an updated picture of me. roflmao

I am so excited right now I seriously feel like puking. Hopefully it doesn’t happen, but the suspense is killing me. As I’m sure I’ve posted, don’t have time to read back and check this minute, hubby has been offered a conditional job. We are just waiting for the background check to go for him and the 4 other guys. We know everyone on his has been contacted and most of the other guys too. Well the Chief called and left a message a few minutes ago. I’m sure it’s about the job and I can barely hold my lunch down. Damn it, I just ate and it’s sitting in my gut like a lump of crap.

Hubby just called me back to get the number. I threatened him with no forgiveness ever and lots of bodily harm if he doesn’t call me right back. lol So now I sit and WAIT. And WAIT. Waiting. Mother FUCKER, I hate waiting like this.

Tonight I am packed with appointments of course. And tomorrow I have 2 more in the evening. So we can’t go out and celebrate. I’ve got to put out lots of prayers tonight. Life is so fucking good right now.

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG. It’s official. He is now a paid fire man. He starts Feb. 1st. I’M so damn proud of him!!! Now I’m going to be a bawling mess all day. lmao

Hmm, I’m supposed to be. I had too many errands to run and now I’m off. I did make it into work this morning for a few hours and met a few new people, so that is cool. I’m going to go back in later this afternoon and see if I can’t get some appointments generated.

So today is supposed to be my newsletter. Guess I will run off and do that immediately!

The kitchen is already a mess and that pisses me off. Here I’m working hard at keeping it clean and there is stuff everywhere. lol I’m sure it’ll only take me minutes to tidy it up and a small load of dishes, but still. Then there is the pile of clean clothes that still haven’t folded themselves. lmao They’ll still be there tonight, so no hurry I guess.

I guess another reason I haven’t gotten anything done now that I’m home is that I’m watching The Covenant. lol I haven’t gotten to watch movies in quite a while and I really missed it. I’m not going into the gym for very long on Friday, so I think I’ll watch some others. There has to be some chick flix that I’ve missed. BTW, this movie is pretty good. Especially for a movie that is geared towards teens. It’s not a waste of time and it’s not all gore and no story. Plus there are hot, young guys with their shirts off SO it’s all good! Except for the fact that I’m not getting much done with it on! YIKES

Like all the money on Christmas shopping wasn’t enough, now we are buying up a ton of cleaning and organizing products. We even bought a new vacuum. And I was excited about it dang it! How old and sick am I getting? Excited about a vacuum? K, it’s really a pretty purple-blue and it has one of those bins you just untwist and dump the dirt out. It’s awesome! It is a great deal at Target and you can use the coupon online for an even better deal. Did I mention I can dump the little canister of dirt and dog hair in the garbage without a plume of dust in my asthmatic face? It’s a fact, I’ve gotten old.

I know there is a Target right down the road, but I still shop online instead. I can use online coupons then instead of waiting for what I want to go on sale. If there is a free shipping option it saved me even more because of gas. lol With my suburban, that is a big saver.

Target isn’t the only online shop I get coupons for. You can get promotion codes for many stores on the main page. They are all stores I shop frequently with biz and personal, so why not save as much money as possible?
