Holy non blogger

I have totally neglected my blog... sorta kinda... been too busy with work!! Right now I should be writing up an appraisal... but I just dont wanna. I need some time away from work!!

Here's a glimpse into the past lil while

PVHS girls soccer went to the playoffs!! 1st year in PVHS history... they ended up losing 5-0, but what an accomplishment!! Way to go Thunderhawks.

My 3 year old washer broke. I had a WONDERFUL handyman fix it and it only cost me $61 to fix!! Pays to marry an engineer!! :) (Glennie's hair was painted gold for the PVHS/Brighton rivalry game)

Kaitlin had an abscessed tooth. She had a cavity filled in the fall... now it just started hurting her... we took her to the dentist which she couldn't get a root canal for over a week and 2 days after the dentist visit she swelled up. From her eye to her neck and the middle of her face to her ear. Thankful for antibiotics, the swelling went down and she got the root canal done today!! Sorry no photos - she wouldn't let me take any - do you blame her!! :)

I got my new comforter and painted my bedroom...not quite done...need to do the bathroom and then clean up the edges a tad more. When I make more money then I will get more decorations to pull it all together!

Basement theater room vinyl is done - Wahoo - still need to do my scrabble pieces...soooo not done yet.

Glennie started a reffing job for Reunion Rec. Center. Just till June 11...but it least it'll give him some money and some experience. He is now talking about taking a class to become state certified. We'll see if he really does like to ref after he gives this a shot!!

Awwww cute!!

Check out my 2 cute kitties!! They are finally getting along, after 1 week.

New recipe

I got my Simple and Delicious magazine the other day. With it came a little insert of 'bonus recipes'. I made it and it was a hit, so I had to share!

Can't wait!!

After persuading Glenn... he finally broke down and let me get a new comforter. My old one, we've had for 7 years... it's torn on the inside and when you keep pulling it up tears more and more. I've sewn it and it stayed for sometime.. but I am just sooo done with it. Sooo finally.. after searching some I found a comforter online for a stinking good deal. I can't wait to get it to finally decorate my bedroom - I've been having that itch to paint - so hurry up comforter and come already!

My furniture is maple.. and I was thinking about chocolate brown walls with some of that blue that's in the comforter... not quite sure what I am gonna do.. but the wheels are turning!!

New baby :)

We brought home the newest member to our family today. She got her shots.. got fixed and has welcomed a much larger place than her previous cage. :)
Please welcome

Scrawn Rawn

We had to put our cat to sleep yesterday. We knew this day was coming, about 1 month ago. We've had her since she was born... 16 years ago... the same year as Glennie was born.

She was in kidney failure... She lost alot of weight.. forgot to pee in the litter box... ended up with lots of urinary tract infections etc. It was time... we talked about putting her to sleep over a month, but never did it. We even tried diapers for her.. which ended up giving us a good laugh and after a couple days, I think Scrawny actually liked them!! But those ended up not really working either. Even put her on estrogen to try and strengthen her bladder.. but that didn't work either. It was time..she lived a long and good - wayyyy spoiled - life!!

We told the kids when they are ready we can get another kitty... and surprisingly that's exactly what they wanted to do today. (I guess having a month to know scrawny was leaving was enough time to say goodbye and start thinking about the little meow's of a kitten). We went to the animal shelter and adopted an 8 month old calico kitty. She gets to come home with us next Wednesday after she gets spayed. So now we are trying to figure out names for the new family member and we HOPE that Izzy gets along with her!! Pictures to come when we get her home!
