Well I found some great deals at JCPenny's yesterday. All the kids were gone, so my sweet husband went with me and helped me pick stuff out and held piles of clothes for me. There was one bright yellow sweater that I didn't get and I am going back to get it today. I thought I had less money than I do. That will give me two full outfits. Plus the boots and other jeans I found before. It's funny I couldn't find hardly anything the week before and I found a ton of stuff right off the bat. Only took us an hour. I have to go back today and shop for door prizes and GA stuff.

Amberly has decided to do the Foreman school pagent. Oh boy. Tina will help, thank God. That is just not my thing and I have mixed feelings about her being in it. But she really wants to do it and it could be good for her. I can see how it got Marina out of her shyness. And I was reading about how Sarah Palin paid for school with pagents, hmm. If she really wants to be vet, she's going to need lots of money, LOL. I have finally reached the point during my break where I have almost everything done and can relax a bit. It only took 3 weeks, lol. Oh well, too much time sitting around is not good. I should be ready for school to start back next week.

Did Hannah announce the class last night in service? I wonder if she is waiting to see if I change my mind, lol. I am certainly enjoying it. We are just going through the new testament. hannah was at Galatians. Audie just continued the lesson in service. Sometimes I wonder if the kids catch that. If I were to keep it, I'd probably have to get some curriculum. They really need solid, foundational stuff. To know WHY they believe what they believe, not just because we told them! Anyway, I will do it until class starts if she doesn't find one and if I can handle it that would be great, but if not then I'll have to stop :(.

Freckles was acciently left out last night. She behaved and didn't have any accidents, so maybe we will be able to leave her out at night soon. We'll try another night and see. We have decided she has to stay off the furniture though, which will be hard to break. She is short-haired, but we still have hair all over the furniture.

I did manage to get my menu done. I had almost forgotten it! I am sure that is enough exciting information for now, lol.

Thanksgiving visit

We had a really nice thanksgiving. Dad made it in a little early tuesday and Carlton and his family arrived late wednesday evening. We enjoyed the fried turkey, it was really moist and surpising to me, went well with dressing (smoked turkey does not, so I don't like having it on thanksgiving). Alex and Amanda had a great time and I hope they come stay for a while this summer. Shawn brought Shae over for a while, it was nice for everyone to meet her, they are usually over at Dennis and Rachel's. They also went to her Aunts and then came back. Dennis and Rachel stopped by for a while, but they missed meeting Carleton and Laura.

I have only hunted once this week (yesterday morning) I saw four doe. I shot at one a missed. It was cold and I was sssshhhiiivvering. I pulled or shivered when I shot so I knew I missed her. 3 Other deer ran in behind her. I waited a while and went to check on her and they were all still in the woods right there, oh well, that is hunting! I wanted to go this morning, but was up worrying about school work so I figured it is time to get back to reality. I'm going to have a busy week, well the next few weeks should be busy. I've got to work on my next chapter in reading (and finish reading the first). Do my internet field trip and report, start researching for the 'football stadium' EIS we have to make, study for a quiz in SPED, and work on a project for ecology. And clean the house back up. Oh and get ready for GA's tomorrow. And wrap the presents I bought yesterday.

Rachel, Amberly and I had a nice time shopping yesterday. We left around 11 or so. We only made a few stops and avoided you- oh I mean 'the' crazy people ;-P. We went to Sam's, Show Carnival, Gander mtn., Lowe's and the mall. We made a stop at walmart on the way in for a few groceries and wrapping paper of course. We of course had to eat at Amigo Juan's, although we almost went to red lobster. Rachel and I had a shrimp dish there and it was goooodddd. Amberly got her ears pierced (3rd time's the charm right?). Aeropostale had everything 50-50% off so we got a few good buys there.

It's time now to hit the elliptical hard! I haven't been on it all week, it's been so busy. I've got to really start watching what I eat too. OY-everything is getting tight. OK I better get to work or it would do me no good to skip hunting.... and I want to hunt this evening...
