Tropical Storm Fay clip 2

I know I sent every one links I just was trying something new.

The official Daytona 500 pace car. I will get a better picture of it soon. It sits at a gas station up the road from us. Miranda's day care program
Sarah fell asleep watching TV. I had to get pictures it was to funny.

Truck with balls. I pass this truck almost everyday after work when I pick up the kids.

We went to Miranda's day care program last night. It was great. She looked and looked until she found me. I thought I would share her wonderful singing.

I was tagged by my sis Brandee.

1. I have trouble getting around in the morning if I don't have my coffee.

2.I really like the sit come Grounded for life.

3.I really like chocolate covered raisins.

4. I hardly ever have to cut my fingernails. They break or just look freakishly long.

5. I get up early in the morning and do my house work.

It's getting HOT

This is the back of Coleman and Sarah's school. I really like the flowering tree. Things are so different down here. Yesterday I was driving to the store and out of know where two green with a little yellow parrots flew in front of my car and I almost hit them. Sarah told me two days before that that she saw some green parrots on her way to school. How cool. I'm tring to get use to the heat but it is hard. It's bad when you have to run the air in your car on the way to work in the morning.

This is a picture of the play ground at Miranda's day care.

There are trolley's that pick up the elderly and take them to appointments, the store, here and there. I have been tring to get a picture of one for a couple weeks and lucked out to day after work.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Mother's day humor

We celebrate the Mother's Day to show honor and respect to one of the most influential persons in our lives. We all have spent most formative years of our lives with our mothers and shared all joy and sorrows. Such is the greatness of our mom that she always tries to make us feel happy even in times of distress. This occasion of Mother's Day would become more enjoyable if we add some flavor of humor to it.

"The hand that rocks the cradle usually is attached to someone who isn't getting enough sleep."- John Fiebig

"I'd like to be the ideal mother, but I'm too busy raising my kids."- Unknown

The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she'd have children if she had it to do over again. "Yes," she replied. "But not the same ones."- David Finkelstein

A little boy forgot his lines in a Sunday school presentation. His mother was in the front row to prompt him. She gestured and formed the words silently with her lips, but it did not help. Her son's memory was blank. Finally, she leaned forward and whispered the cue, "I am the light of the world." The child beamed and with great feeling and a loud clear voice said, "My mother is the light of the world." - Bits and Pieces, 1989

A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: "My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I?" When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word Mother- Unknown

A Big Week

We have had a lot go on this week. I started my new job. It is going great. Sarah lost a tooth last Saturday. Then Coleman and Sarah both lost a tooth on Tuesday. The tooth fairy visited both of them that night. It seemed weird having them both loose one in the same day. They also started in their new after school program. They love it. I was able to sign them up for summer camp through the school also. They do a lot of things during summer camp. Vince has been working late almost every night. We received Cloverfield from Netflix and was able to watch it Thursday night. We both really enjoyed the movie. I was going to take the kids to the beach today but when I checked the weather there was a rip current warning. So we will go another day. I really worry about a rip current grabbing one of the kids. The last few people to work in the position I had were unable to catch up on their work and had piles of work sitting every where. I'm told. It is hard for me to believe that because I sit around waiting for work everyday. Have a great week everyone.

sunsets and coconuts

I was at our friends house and looked out her window to see this sunset. I had to take a picture.

Vince stopped at a friends house on his way home from work and grabbed this coconut out of their yard. I look coconut. It was so good.
He spent a long time getting the outer shell off.
The kids really enjoyed watching and eating the coconut.

Update from Florida

The kids at the park a couple blocks away from us. In Florida they have the children have more Immunizations than in Indiana. Miranda had to get five shots, Sarah had to get two, and Coleman had to get one. It took four hours before we were done. I was about to go insane. I'm still trying to get a job. I hope it happens soon. It has been hard because of having trouble finding day care. All I need is for the kids to have new physicals and they can start. I will be getting them on Monday. They can start school on Tuesday.



A picture of the sun starting to set. I went to check the mail and took this picture.
This is a picture of highway 95. The highway comes to a stop at every exit during rush hour. Very annoying.

finally posting

It has been a while. I have been very busy. Vince was in town last weekend. It was so nice to have him here. I was teary eyed most of the way home from dropping him off at the airport. It didn't help that it was raining outside. My last day of work is Feb. 29th. We start loading the uhaul on the 27th of March I believe. Sarah, Miranda, and myself fly down on the 31st of March. The picture below is from Friday the 15th. Vince had to get his box ready to be shipped. It has safely arrived down in Florida. I have been a little down. Vince left on Sunday and I turned 30 on Monday. I have a desktop a work that reads"30 isn't old ...Depressing but not old"

I have been coming home from work or waking up and finding my curtain down. I kept wondering why the cat was knocking it down. I finally caught her in the act. climbing in between the windows. It only has about a quarter of an inch on each side for her to hold herself up.
This is the most interesting three wheeler I have ever seen. I had to share this picture with everyone. It was the best picture I could take between the being late to work and the snowing.

Vince's Update

Vince has been gone since Monday. He really enjoys his new job and loves the weather. It did get rather cold for FL. the other day and his friend Victor's has a convertible with no back side window. Vince said he was cold that morning on the way to work. He has a cell phone if you would like the number email me. I have been missing him a lot the last few days. I hope it will get better instead of worse. I'm sure it will. We have talked at least twice a day that seems to help. The kids miss him. I have been taking his car and some how that helps them. They don't see his car when we pull into the drive way and Miranda is a lot better behaved. She acts up really bad after talking to him on the phone. I'm hoping that will get better also. Sarah has started whining a lot since Vince left. Coleman has been a big help. He tries to get the girls to understand when they are not acting like they regularly do. The kids have talked to at least once a day. They ask him a lot of questions about the beach. Miranda just says what ever pops into her mind. I tend to laugh a lot when she talks to him. Last night she kept saying never and no to him when he was asking her to give me the phone back. When I realized that she was doing this to his asking her to give mommy the phone. I had to laugh to myself. It's just they way she says it that makes it funny. Today she talked to him about a block she found on the floor.

Need A Smile

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

America's Unique

- Only in America... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

- Only in America... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

- Only in America... do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

- Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

- Only in America... do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

Catfish vs. Orange Roughy

Jim had an awful day fishing on the lake, sitting in the blazing sun all day without catching a single one. On his way home, he stopped at the supermarket and ordered four catfish. He told the fish salesman, "Pick four large ones out and throw them at me, will you?"

"Why do you want me to throw them at you?"

"Because I want to tell my wife that I caught them."

"Okay, but I suggest that you take the orange roughy."

"But why?"

"Because your wife came in earlier today and said that if you came by, I should tell you to take orange roughy. She prefers that for supper tonight."

No Pets Allowed

Two buddies were out one Saturday, walking their dogs. One had a Doberman Pinscher and the other had a Chihuahua. As they sauntered down the street, the guy with the Doberman said, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat."

The guy with the Chihuahua said, "We can't go in there. We've got dogs with us."

The one with the Doberman said, "Just follow my lead." They walked over to the restaurant and the guy with the Doberman put on a pair of dark glasses and started to walk in.

The bouncer at the door said, "Sorry, Mac, no pets allowed."

The man with the Doberman said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Doberman pinscher?"

The man said, "Yes, they're using them now. They're very good."

The bouncer let him in.

His buddy with the Chihuahua put on his pair of dark glasses and started to walk in.

Once again the bouncer said, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed."

The man with the Chihuahua said, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog."

The bouncer said, "A Chihuahua?"

The man exclaimed, "A Chihuahua? They gave me a Chihuahua?!"
