Allyson's wisdom

Some of the things that Allyson says I wonder where in the world she gets it from. This is what she tells me as we are horse playing around on the couch:
Her: Mom please don't torture me!
Me: What?
Her: Let me tell you what I'm talking about.
Me: OK
Her: Well the way you would torture me is like please don't stick scissors in my ears, that would be the worst torture.
Me: Have I ever stuck scissors in your ears? Or has anyone else stuck scissors in your ears?
Her: Well no, but that would be torture. I'm such a dork, Mom!

I swear I don't know where she comes up with these things, and I promise I have never stuck scissors in her ears for any type of torture or punishment! lol

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!!!

I hope everyone reading this is having a wonderful Christmas with their families and that Santa was good to you!

New Car

Well we finally decided to trade in Steve's truck. He had only had the truck for about 6 months but with the transfer at work he was driving so much farther and with the truck we were putting in like $70-75 a week in gas so we went and got a Chrylsler Sebring. I'm really surprised how sporty and roomy this car is. This car is going to get 32 mile a gallon compared to his truck getting 19 miles a gallon, so we are hoping to really see a big difference at the gas tank! I will post pictures this weekend, he wants to clean it and make it all pretty before I take pictures!

Rambling

It has been cold here the past couple of days! We had to actually turn on our heat at night! The other night when Steve went to work he had to wear gloves and a hat to keep warm! This just doesn't happen too often here!

Well I had to go back to work this week after having two weeks off! It has been so hard to get back in the swing of things, I really enjoyed staying home and in my pj's until I was ready to get dressed! All this week Allyson has had to run to the bus stop when we hear the bus because we just can't seem to be on time this week! Oh well two more days and then she's she's on winter break!

I can't believe Christmas is just 5 days away! I just need to pick up one thing for my dad and then shopping is done. All presents are wrapped except for Allysons. This is a huge accomplishment for me, I'm usually the one wrapping the presents 20 mins before we are leaving. I still need to figure out what I'm making for Christmas dinner, the only thing I know for sure we are having is a fried turkey. So I guess I better start thinking about that.

Well sorry for the long ramble about nothing!

My Grades

Well I got my grades for the classes I took, and I'm pretty happy with them! I got all B's I don't think thats too bad for taking 3 classes working full time, and still being a good wife and mother! Starting in Jan I will be taking 4 classes and it will be during tax season so I better start learning to manage my time really good! I'm excited for the classes in Jan though because I will not have to drive almost a hour each way 3 days a week, I will be taking my classes at the Kissimmee campus and thats only like 30 mins away!

Second Try!

Ok, I thought I would be much better at this whole blogging thing, but it turns out I'm not! So I'm going to try again and try to be more active!
Well this week I finished up with school for a few weeks and I'm off from work and realized I have a LOT of time on my hands. I think today I will tackle some cleaning that I've been putting off.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas tree, this is the 1st year in the 8 years Steve and I have been together that we have a fake tree! It was very nice not to have to untangle and hang all those lights, however I do miss the smell of the real thing though!

I think our tree came out really pretty this year, we usually do all kinds of different ornaments but this year we went with red and gold and its so pretty!

I also took some pictures of Allyson for our Christmas cards and I think they came out really cute!
