Summer!

I love summer, this year I am lucky enough to have a pool! So I have lots of plans to sit poolside and read:) Beyond that, I have a newly 16 year old on his way to wrestling camp today and so we plan on doing nothing this week. Maybe I'll take the other two on a 'field trip' this week. We like to pick random adventures so I think besides swimming we will explore.

Simply Scott

I received my Scott Naturals Tube free in the mail and I love it. I never would of thought of such a great idea and now I wonder why someone didn't think of it sooner. The toilet paper is high quality and just as good if not better than other brands that have the tube. I will be buying this from now on because there is just no going back!

Randomness Abounds

Being Random is one thing I excel at. Sometimes that is not such a good thing since I can't seem to get anything done. Lately I have made myself a schedule of sorts and I am slowly getting into it and getting more things done. This morning the schedule included making muffins (Thursday morning breakfast), cleaning bedrooms and washing sheets (Thursday morning cleaning) and shopping (weekly, depending on need).

So, I have gotten a lot done today , even bringing cash in to the oldest for lunch ..ya he forgot AGAIN lol, but then randomness takes over and I spend far to long trying to transfer my photos from phone to computer..I gave up because it just isn't happening the way I want it too. You would think it would be easy, plug in cord, transfer photos..but it says they are not there, oh well! They are all on my phone and the google cloud thing so I will work with it.

Dinner tonight is leftovers after I get said oldest from marching band then he is off to wrestling soon after.

Today I also cashed in $75 amazon from survey site and won a Corn dog coupon from DeliciouslySavvy. Not a bad day:)

Band

This last week has been filled with all things band camp. Nate started and I get to help this year, which is fun:) Bad thing is I haven't been able to clean so I feel a little overwhelmed today. When I get overwhelmed I seem to find other things to do than what I should..like writing on here hah! I also started sanding some furniture I want to paint and done pretty much all things I want to get done besides clean! Oh well, it can wait for when the kids are in school right?

My sweepstaking has been on hold too so hopefully I can get back into that more when they go to school. I did win a fantastic bag filled with Air Wick and a $50 gift card though! I need to be better at recording my wins..being organized would help:) I have to say I am better than I use to be so I am just slowly moving in that direction. My main thing is getting rid of stress in all sorts, life is too short to let the little things bother me so I say goodbye to whatever does me harm:) Sounds easy doesn't it..I wish lol, that's another thing that is slowly getting better though. Whether it comes to too many things or a toxic person, it always takes me a bit to realize what I don't need. If I could get my hubby to get rid of things it would also make life easier:)

Facebook Pet Peeves

Here are a few facebook posts that have annoyed me lately and led me to un-follow or defriend some.

. Spreading misleading or false stories..come on, we have way too much of this going on. Google is your friend and it does not take long to make sure the information you are putting out there is real or not. If it comes from the onion..it's fake! If the title sounds kinda crazy, most the time the real story has nothing to do with it.
Along the same lines..

. Outdated information. Look, I think we need to get information out there if a kid or adult is missing but I see posts from years ago and the person had been found. Recalls that are no longer valid, if they recalled something years ago, chances are the problem is fixed. Yes google again is your friend.

. I don't need to see every single meal you are cooking, or every time you go out to eat you don't need to tell me where you are. Unless you are inviting everyone over or need us to meet you at the restaurant. No one really cares and it just proves how self absorbed you can be. This is different than sharing great recipes, which you can do on Pinterest.

. Talking bad about friends, family or neighbors(or anyone you or anyone on your friends list knows). Just don't do it. I have had it happen to me and made a quick and polite phone call to remind this person about being an adult. I shouldn't have to do that with anyone over 18. If you have a problem with someone tell them or your close friends but there is no need to make it public.

. Politics, Religion. Need I say more? My views are pretty set, you won't change my mind and the more you post the closer my mouse gets to the unfriend button. I remember back before the internet when we didn't know or care what our neighbors views were, I miss that.

There are things I love about facebook, keeping in contact with those I live far from, funny Meme's (love them!), pictures, funny things you do, happy quotes, and more. Lets just keep the drama out.

Snow Dancing Facebook Rant

Ok, so I am not dancing in the snow this time. I have had enough and there will be no more joy in the snow, I stayed in after this storm. I mean come on, it's March, there should be no more snow. My kids have had about 2 weeks of snow days and I feel like my housework can't catch up..oh wells, more things for me to do when they are at school.
Yesterday I decided to weed through my facebook friends, and thought a good long few seconds about de-friending some family and friends I know. The reason is because of the crazy posts they decided everyone in their facebook world needs to know about, I'm sure we all know people like that. Anyway, I kept them but I blocked them from my feeds and boy does that feel good! My next few posts in the coming weeks will be about the annoying things people do on facebook..there are just so many!

More Snow!

So we got the big one..10 inches of snow. Now the kids have another long weekend, I think I am getting so use to them being home I don't mind anymore. They shoveled and cleaned up and we are just being lazy today. Kassi is having a few friends over tomorrow for her birthday so we are having a fun weekend!
