always gone, but never away...

I have missed you all!!!!
It definitely has continued to be a roller coaster into the new year, I have hated being away from here and have tried to at least keep up with twitter and facebook from my phone.

In case some of you don't know, my computer was broken during Christmas dinner at my house, unfortunately the Family responsible has refused to help with the repairs and I have been computer-less :(
I guess what made it worst is that they were friends, I had a lot of work pending, and college started last week. So today I finally gave in and am renting a computer from one of those places :/ We just can't afford to buy a new one.

One other reason I have been away is because we were moving, what was supposed to have taken husband and I a weekend, has taken over 1 week. It was excruciating to do the move by ourselves, but we couldn't afford any help. So, to not make this post 5000 words, lol, I will post about everything that has been happening lately, all in it's own post ;0)

I have to count and choose the winners of the #lovinlogistics The UPS Store winners for the $250 giftcards and I have some great giveaways ahead. give me a couple of days to catch up ;0 I had over 5000 emails LOL
Other exciting changes for me is that I am moving to WP!!!! (wordpress)

ok, that's all for now, I missed you guys!!!! hugs!!!

I'm still alive ;). We have been moving, since its just husband and I it has taken us a lot longer than we expected. Hoping that tonight is the last night ;)

From the oven with lovin' ... #SFSmarties

As a Military Family we are used to spending meals apart, so we make it a point to eat together every chance we get. From the shopping to the cooking, it becomes a Family affair. The entire Family shops together,

#canyoutopthis project round 2

I was so excited about last round of projects, that I couldn't wait for round #2 to begin.

As you may know my computer was broken, and on it were all of the pictures of the project I began, as it happens, a few posts I went to do at Kinko's never were able to be saved because my time was up on the computer. I lost them, in those was my post for my #canyoutopthis project.

During the cold & flu months, we turn to Pedialyte for help #PedialyteSingles

Without fail our kids have always gotten sick during the winter months, having them all at home at the same time doesn't help either. It always has started with one kid coming home from school feeling sick, and it's downhill from there. One after the other they start with the sniffles and everything else, by the third day I have a living room full of "sickies". Mommy turns into Nurse and it's 24/7 hour watch for all. The four youngest kids have terrible gag reflexes, so the minute any of them are congested or coughing; it's an assembly line with their "sick buckets". Sorry for the TMI ;) It always stinks when kids are sick (and not just literally), as parents we worry so much, but I do believe that I feel the worst when I see my kids completely couch bound. The dehydration that sets in from all of the loss of bodily fluids is terrible, they look so helpless on the couches.
