It's Thursday meaning its almost the weekend!! Finally, this weekend should be filled with fun as we got to do laundry and then we hope to make it to the pumpkin patch on Saturday.
I have a few things to get done this weekend school wise, plus I still need to head out and get Raul his anniversary card. Then maybe a little gift, take our cake topper out and get it ready to eat. I am still trying to find something good, simple and cheap to make for our dinner. At least we will have the day together since he is taking it off.
Today was mostly spent trying to get caught up on school work, I am doing pretty good just have 1 paper from last week I need to get done with this weeks papers. I am still waiting for my physical books to show up. Though UPS said they would be dropped off today as of now nothing!! Should of sent them Fedex and now brown. HAHA LOL!!!
I also want to clean the kitchen which will get done while I make dinner tonight. Which of course is going to be Tater-Tot Casserole, something I believe the girls will really like and enjoy and Sydney will eat (I hope!)

Tuesday and Day nine of Blog Activity
Well once again its Tuesday, today has been pretty good. I did all my cleaning yesterday and only need to do a quick spot clean in the kitchen. I have been working pretty hard in my 3 classes for school. Lots of work and its pretty darn hard when you don't have the actual book in front of you. i hope they show up pretty soon.
Dinner tonight is Taco's I love taco's and could eat them all day long! Then tomorrow we are having Tater Tot Casserole made with hot dogs, corn, beans and of course Tater Tots. I do believe that the kids will love this one.
Other things on my mind is trying to figure out a simple, sweet gift for Raul and our 1 year wedding anniversary. I would love to find something that is not a huge amount of money so if anybody has idea's please send them my way!
Oh and tonight is the 90 minute Teen Mom on MTV!! I am so excited to see what happens and so happy that we can now watch it 3 hours earlier thanks to Dish Network.
DAY NINE: BLOG ACTIVITY
Describe 2 smiley's that show how you feel today
First smiley would be a headache smile, I sure wish they had ones out there. I have the worst headache still. I can imagine it with a swiggly mouth, half closed eyes and swiggly lines coming off its head.
Second smiley would be the total I am lazy and tired one! I am so ready for a nap but with school work it just was not going to happen!

Friday and Day 8 Blog Activity
Well its Friday finally, the girls have the day off and we spent the morning running around and getting stuff done. Tomorrow is a big day as we have a Camp Fire meet up so the girls can join and meet others. My mom is coming over today for the last time to see the girls and have dinner with us before she moves.
Went shopping at Walmart and picked up 2 cute shirts for myself, shoes for the girls, white shirts to tie dye at Camp Fire. Then the big shopping of the week, went to Winco for the food and only spent 100$ for a whole week with a few extra's very happy with myself!
We are also getting Dish Network to save on cable cost and still have good TV. In the end we will save over 55$ a month switching from cable to Dish. PLUS all our shows besides the locals will be on 3 hours earlier which means I can actually watch them. YAY!!!
Blog Activity Day 8: 3 Turn Ons
1. RAUL
2. Coffee (I love it so much!!)
3. A nice clean house :-)

Halloween Shopping
So I have spent the last 2 days at thrift stores checking out things for Halloween. Looked and looked and even looked more.
Good thing is we found a friends costume and its pretty much done! I can't wait to see her in it and her husband. I still have not figured out what the girls are going to be. May have to check out Walmart as online their costumes don't seem so high. I think I want Sydney to go as a baby with the 1 piece jammies. TO CUTE!!
Raul and I were doing an 80's look but then found the funniest hat at Fred Meyer and decided to go as the redneck trucker and his pregnant wife. (hahahaha!!!)
I found this blue and white plaid bathrobe with ugly flowers, blue old granny style house shoes. Got a pair of knee high tights. Got my pregnant belly pillow, and plan on buying some curliers, red lipstick and blue eyeshadow.
I did get Raul his ugly plaid shirt, and only need his mullet and trucker hat. We are planning on writing on his arm a few redneck names and cross them out, then add mine. Hahah!! I can hardly wait till Halloween.

Recipes
Yesterday while doing laundry I found some great recipes that I want to try over the next few weeks. Also found some great simple diet plans I may have to try. Got to loose that freakin 10lbs they say all newly married couples gain the first year!
I found all these great idea's out of Woman's World magazine!
Recipes:
-Sandra Lee's Apple Crumble Pie
-Pink Grapefruit Tartlets
-Backed Ravioli Parmesan (little less food then Lasagna)
-Pepperoni Bread
-Low fat Double Chocolate Brownies
-Tater-Tot hot dog casserole (I think this would be a big hit with the kids)
-Garlic Knots
-Triple Mousse Chocolate Cake
-Herbed Sirloin Steaks
-Sweet and Sour Shrimp Stir-fry
-Cheesy Tuna Melt
-Rigatoni w/Meatballs, Bocconcini, Sun-dried Tomato Marinara Sauce
-Bowtie pasta w/Feta, spinach and black olives
-Pad Thai w/Shrimp
Diet Plans:
-Dr. Oz Energy Plan
Looks simple enough, you pick 1 meal from 3 choices. You can even have a little bit of chocolate for a night snack if wanted.
-Get slim on 3.97$ a day
This one sounds pretty good but you get a shake for 2 meals a day, then pick out of 3 choices for dinner. Then also get to pick 2 choices a day for snacks.

It's Saturday!
Good Morning!
Well its another weekend, and I am relaxing whoohoo. Made breakfast and coffee and enjoying it in bed with my trust laptop. While watching Bring it on, trust me its so funny to hear Raul sing the cheers and tell the lines before they even pop up. (Wonder when he watched this movie!) LOL
Today of course its not going to be that exciting, laundry, park if the weather finally warms up. Otherwise its just a nice day to sit at home and do nothing and I mean nothing.

What a day!
Whew what a day, had to get up about 45 mins earlier then I usually do. Brianna had her diabetic appt out in Portland. Left the house at 7:30am and got to the hospital at 8:45am. I had to pee so bad at the time. We actually sat there till almost 11:30am ugh.
Only good thing that happened today was we got to spend Raul lunch hour with him. Yea I had to drive into Canby not a big deal as I had to go by there anyways to head home. It was so nice to see him even for 45 mins.
Now we are finally home and I am so ready to relax, just waiting on the phone call to pick Raul up from work then its relax time for me! I am thinking a coffee may be in order cause that sounds so good right now.
I have to finish off my Dutch Bros picks for this weeks games. Hmmmm... wonder if I will ever get more then 40 pts.

Nine things about yourself
Blog activity part 2 - Nine things about yourself
1. I really have no clue what my natural hair color is, I have dyed it since I was in the 5th grade.
2. My husband and I got married just 5 months after meeting each other.
3. I have lost over 75lbs in 2 years.
4. I want to learn how to sew so I can make placemats, napkins, towels ect for my house.
5. I went to NYC for half a day and a full night just to be on TV and see NKOTB. This is also where I slept out on the street!
6. I have been to Canada 4 times, 2 of which were to see NKOTB in concert.
7. I am so scared of spiders, I swore to my mom that I would marry someone who could kill them for me!
8. I love love cottage cheese, so yummy I like grapes and banana's in them.
9. I hate milk, if I have to drink it I have to take the whole glass at once, right away. I can not drink it if it sits somewhere for only a few seconds.
