New Years Day!

We had an invitation to a great event this morning, and though none of us wanted to wake up at 6am, since we went to bed at 2am, we still managed to get up, lol.

We got invited to a special event at The Ruben H. Fleet Center, it's a science museum.  It is such a cool place to go to as an adult and as a child.  They have so many hands on activities you can do, and an IMAX movie theater.

We had a great time, my son stole the weather news anchor, Joe Lizurra from KUSI news, and kept him for a while after he was done doing his segments, lol. 

here are a few pictures of the kids, and hubs and my sculpture as well, lol. 

 

these were the kids getting ready to destroy one of the buildings, lol, you will notice at the exhibit if you go, that half the fun is tearing the designs down, as that they did, lol

 

this was my design, lol

As soon as I am done with my uploading, I will post my review and a give a way for the Ruben H. Fleet center.  It really is an amazing place guys!


After that Daddy surprised the kids with a trip to eat out.    We had a gift card to a restaurant, and it was so nice to finally be able to g out to eat.  We had a nice meal and headed home, as always I am the last one in the house and daddy was already laying on the couch ready for a nap, lol.

I fussed a bit, but then everyone helped and we cleaned the whole house in about 2 hours, yay!

After that we were wide awake and just hung out for the rest of the day, the kids played with their Christmas gifts and watched t.v.
For dinner Daddy cooked steak, another surprise! 

All in all, it was a great way to start the New Year!

I hope you all have been having a great New year so far ;)

Happy New Year's!!!!!

I hope everyone has a a wonderful year.

I hope that you accomplish all that you set out to do.  May your heart and your wallet always be full and your dishwasher empty (giggles)

I don't have any resolutions, I didnt make any last year either, I think it's because I felt too sad that I let myself down when I didnt go through with them, I mean it's not "fully" ok to blame someone else, but it feels a lot better than blaming yourself right? lol

I do have some goals I would like for the new year, but if they dont go through, I will remind myself that they are goals and not every goal is met ;)

*I  want to TRY  to be more positive: meaning let go of grudges, try to see what I have and not what I dont have, and help my children to see things that way as well.

*I want to volunteer more, and help more with the fundraising events

* I want to be able to adopt more Soldier's and be able to have a way to make money or get product donations so I can send them each a care package at least once a month.

*I want to help spread the word more about wonderful organizations that do so much good for people.

*I want to be able to help my son with all he is going through right now with all of his "diagnosis"

*I hope to make more friends through blogland ;)

*I want to be a better friend, a better supporter to those that need me.

*I hope that I am able to make my blog better, that I am able to bring my friends and readers a lot of deals and great reviews.

*I want to work on getting closer with my family, and getting my marriage on better grounds, yes it's good right now, but like all marriages it has up and downs, I just want to have more ups this year than downs ;)

*most importantly, I want to have a better relationship with God, having faith is something I have always been good with, but I want to work on getting my "sheltered" self to church.  (it's just hard at times when my depression is bad)

Sorry this turned into a story, I hope that you will stay with me and that I can be there for you as a friend.

Have a great weekend!!!

My Thankful Thursday post....

No, I didn't forget to do my Thankful Thursday post, yes I have a lot to be thankful for, but I just couldn't get the details I wanted for my post in time; like my feature on the USO Thankful Thursday post.

Onto me then... Lol...

For the 2009 year I am thankful for:
My family still being together
My children being as healthy as they can be for now ;)
My husb being able to stay in the military
Being able to find a home to rent that my kids can have an awesome time in the backyard
For being able to adopt Max Tour furry family member)
For ALL of the organizations that have helped and impacted our lives!

Mainly for God allowing us to make it! For the blessings he has put in our paths and for the battles he helped me win within myself, for hearing my desperate crying prayers when my babies were so sick and for giving me to constant push to keep going

I am SO thankful for the wonderful friends that I have met through blogland.

97th post and counting.... YAY....

So I saw my count and this makes it post number 97, Yayyy, I want to hit 100 by tonight, but the thing is that I don't want to make dumb posts, lol;
my last posts have to be meaningful, or at least make sense, lol.

So I guess this one would not fall into any of those categories unless i change the subject....
NOW!

So I woke up at 1pm today, lol.  EMBARASSING!!!!
but it felt sooo good, lol, now because of that I have a dull headache and I just feel crummy.  Too much sleep sucks! lol

On another note, hubs suggested we take the kids to see The Princess and the frog, since we have free tickets for the movies, yet for the last 3 hours I have been trying to brush hair and get shoes on  kids, IS EVERYONE RUNNING AS SLOW AS ME TODAY in this house?!?!?!

aaahhhhhhhh, lol.

I want to do a speed cleaning marathon and have the house clean by midnight,  nice to have dreams huh? lol lol

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Years Eve night if I dont speak to you again this year.

HUGS!!!!
