Life Without Internet

May 2nd, 2010 Posted in General, Kids, Personal | View Comments

Three months since my last post. Crazy. Well things are good. Still breathing, eating, sleeping, taking care of my kids. I miss blogging on my own time. I love it but have found a new love, not to replace blogging, of course just to help with the brain keeping its wheels turning on creativity.

Connor is almost done with his second year of preschool. He is registered for Kindergarten and just a little over a month he’ll be five years old. Time flies. It really does. He has grown so much learned so much. He can finally write his name lower case and upper case letters all by hiself. He also tries to write other words but asks for help which is fun to do with him.

James is doing well. Though he wants to go to school so bad with his brother. He will have to wait until next fall(2011)but I wont know for sure until the middle of May when I get his preschool screening results back. He apparently did well. When he came out he told me he wrote an “E” along with a few other letters. His face just lite up like lights on a Christmas tree. I feel bad that he has to wait. Stupid deadline. He has to be four before October first and well, his birthday is on the thirteenth.

Everything else is going well. I became an aunt at the end of February to a girl. I’ve been babysitting her the past three weeks and love it! She is such a cutie. James adores her so much he wants to hold her all the time, kisses her as well.

And on to that new love it is playing as characters from the Twilight Saga Series by Stephanie Meyers on Twitter. It’s fun. It’s inventive. Some really great stories have happened in their lives after Breaking Dawn;TwiTwitter.

I hope this was a good update for some if I still have readers. Thank you for sticking around. I am heading to bed.

Holy Moly!!

It’s been quite awhile! It sucks not having my OWN internet but I do what I can when I can. So very sorry for not being there on everyones blog to comment. I’ve got my fingers crossed that we will soon be able to take care of that problem.

On to other news. Hubby got a new job Christmas week at Amazon, in their warehouse of course. He is still on third shift but likes not begining near all those chemicals from YKK, the button factory for jeans. If you are wearing jeans check the back side of the zipper if it has YKK it had gone throught his factory at some point. I enjoy the time we have together in the morning.

We had a good Christmas. Boys received a lot of goodies. We are doing well all the way around. I’m still babysitting. Hubby recently received his 401K funds and that has helped. We also decided to get a new tv Sony Bravia 46″. It’s AWESOME!! I enjoy it.

I’ve also found a NEW hobby called TwiTwitter. It is a role playing game of Twilight, starting in the year of 2009 after the events in the books. I really have fun with it. If you ever get a chance check it out. It is played on Twitter. You might fall in love with this RPG Coven.

That is all folks.

WOOORAAAHHH!!! And Policy Info

Sep 14th, 2009 Posted in Giveaways, Kids, Reviews | View Comments

Got Woopra back on my computer! Now if only I could get one review done a week that would be SUPERFLY! I miss blogging so much.  What I’m able to type is so spacey that I wish I had more time to spend on one subject in each post.

So for those that are looking for reviews from a mom with two boys ages 4 and almost 3 please don’t hesitate to email me, caleenna at gmail dot com. I am able to check email mostly on the weekends so send it Friday and you will get a response by late Monday night.  Also from the time I receive the product or the time I receive confirmation of the review it will start the week of using the product, website or what have you.  Then on that last day I will compile on my notes and type up the review, it will sit for a day so that I may come back to it and reread it before posting.  I will also send you, the vendor, a link to the review so that you may do as you please with it.  I will have this posted on the PR page of my site as well so it will be in on spot at all times.

This will be my policy from now and until I can afford to have internet at my own home.  If you have any concerns or questions please email me at the above address.

In other news, my family has been sick the chills the aches you name it we are now starting to get over it but I just went to the doctor today and I have a slight case of bronchitis. Icky stuff I tell you.  The boys though seem to be doing alright and I’m sure they won’t get worse.

Gotta go home and call the parents of the child that I babysit and let them know that I now have antibiotics to help me get better.

Enjoy you Monday Night.

The New Look and More…

Sep 6th, 2009 Posted in Personal | View Comments

Look look… I have a page on Facebook now, you can either see it here or click on the fan button on my badge over there on the right side.  There is also a badge for my husband’s page that I created for him.  I will be posting pictures and videos of live demonstrations that he does of his artwork.  So keep a look out for updates.

More that has gone on this week. Tuesday was the first MOPS meeting of the school year.  I had a wonderful time chilling out and learning a few things about our leaders.  Next meeting, if I’m able to go that is, every member will have their own Me Box with stuff that they enjoy with their family and self.  I’ve already decorated mine and placed a few things in it.

I’ve also undergone a blog makeover that I totally love and will enjoy for months to come!  All Thanks to Caitlin of MommyGeekology and Toni of A Daily Dose, who referred me to Caitlin.  I gave her ideas for the header and a few iStock photos to go off of.  What she created was AWESOME!  I’ve always liked the images in headers of the moms and kids, so I had to go with that idea.  Then I just told her something purple and to throw in some accent colors for the columns.  I absolutely love what she’s done with the customizations.  Caitlin was a joy to work with even though I wasn’t online every second of the day.

Yesterday we took the boys to the zoo and had a blast.  We were there for five hours!! Took lots of pictures, saw a baby elephant too.  The boys enjoyed themselves and slept on the way home.

Today we hung out over at my mother in-laws house for awhile recieved an MP3 player from her for my birthday and ate lasagna for dinner.  My parents came over to our place, I recieved four Sookie Stackhouse Novels by Charlaine Harris, a Katy Perry cd, a shirt and bed sheets!  I’m so wondering what Chris bought me.. LOL I’m excited to see it.  Then last but not least my brother, I hope he calls before he shows up at the house.  I just might be in the tub enjoying some quiet time tomorrow. 

Babysitting is going well, even though I’m only watching one child again.  I just pray to GOD that I get to keep watching her soon.  Her daddy is looking for a job.  James enjoys Punky’s, the eleventh month old that comes to the house at 6:30 in the morning, time with us.  This whole weekend he has been asking, “Where’s Baby?” I tell him that she is at home with her mommy and daddy.  She turns one tomorrow!  I thought that was really cool.

I’ve also been reading.  Last year I read the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer before the movie came out then I read the House of Night series by P.C. and Kristin Cast.  Now I started readin Morrigan’s Cross by Nora Roberts, that one is a bit of a reach for me but I will keep at it because it’s witches, wolves, vampires, warlocks and more.  Just something about paranormal and fantasy that has really been intriguing.   My mom has gifted me with four of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels.  I don’t have the first one so I will be reading those after I’m done with Morrigan’s Cross.

Summer Activities

May 29th, 2009 Posted in General, Kids | View Comments

Long time!!   Well lot’s of things have happened and lots of things ARE GOING to happen before summer is over!!  Just to recap since Mother’s Day.   NOT MUCH!!! LOL Just been getting warmer and warmer, now it’s gotten into the 80′s.  OH and we’ve aquired a Red Eared Slider

We haven’t figured out if it’s a she or a he yet and we probably wont ever know for sure.  Connor has named it Turtle!! :) LOL He has gotten so cute about a few things since he started school, which yesterday was the last day of and today is the first day of summer vacation!!

Which leads me to summer activities that are coming up in our life this summer.  There’s a lot so here ya go.  Enjoy.

First we will be celebrating my oldest sons fourth birthday, you can read about the birth here.  He has asked for a Power Wheel Four Wheeler, a slip and slide, shirts and shorts along with a few other things that I’ve forgotten at the moment.  Daddy wrote it all down when he asked Connor what he would like for his birthday.   Daddy will also be decorating the cake as a drag strip and placing Mustangs on it because that what Connor asked for.

Second there’s our trip to Michigan for, a family reunion, my moms side of the family.  We will be there hopefully a WHOLE SEVEN DAYS!!!  This will be the first LONG trip both boys will have been on. Connor, my oldest went up with myself and my parents when he was twelve months old and I was four months pregnant with James.  So this trip will definitely be a different experience now that they will be four and two and a half.

Momma Cooks CookingThird hop on over to Momma Cooks Cooking for the next stop on the Blogging Carnival.  You can send your emails to caleenna at gmail dot com.

Then there will be the little trips to areas near us until school starts back up in August.  Such as the Louisville Zoo and/or the Cincinnati Zoo, one or both of the science museums, then of course the plentiful trips to the park along with some trips to the movies especially on those really HOT days.

So what are your plans for this summer, I’d like to hear about them.
