Just A Touch of Sweetness

…if you’ll fall for it!

You’re Approved

I get so much mail from different places saying that I have been approved for a loan. It is almost scary just how much money I get offered every week. There’s no way I could be able to take out these loans. I don’t have bad credit, but I don’t have any credit. I have […]

Crazy Day

Today has been a really rough day. Here’s an outline of it.

12:05 a.m. - A sister calls and says that she left her home due to a fuss with her husband. I tell her to come to my house for the night.
12:30 a.m. - Her husband leaves with his clothes.
2:00 a.m. - Said sister goes […]

Do It

I love having the ability to do things for myself. I do not like to hire people or having to ask for help. I am a very independent person. When it comes to home improvements, I will normally do them myself. Part of the reason is because Keith works such long hours and is usually […]

Little Things

Sometimes little things make all the difference. They can turn your world upside down or make it a very happy place to be. Little things have kept my family and I on an emotional roller coaster lately. I haven’t mentioned Carl much lately, simply because there was nothing to say other than the fact that […]

Contest Completed

Well, my first contest came to and end on the 28th and I’m just now getting to this… Yes, I’m slow. Don’t complain. I’m having a bit of a problem. Most of the submissions for tagline ideas were sent to me through email. I created a separate folder and saved them all in it. The […]

Men!

We have to go out tonight and Keith’s being a big baby. He didn’t know that we had plans tonight, so when he came home from work, I sent him to the shower. He’s tired and I understand that, but he still has to go. It’s not like I’m making him wear cufflinks, I just […]

Getting Low

This is our road again. You can see where it once was. The road scrapers have really cut it down low over the past few years. I don’t know why they do it like that… I think they just don’t know what they’re doing. It’s kind of pretty to me though. When you look at […]

Empty

There’s so much land for sale where I live. Over the last few years there have been tons of houses built and now they sit empty waiting to be sold. I’m not sure what the deal is with real estate here, but for some reason people seem to build and leave quickly. I wish we […]

A Long Road

This is our road. Not sure why, but I always like looking down it. It’s one of very few roads left that haven’t been paved out here. It’s the only one that doesn’t have ditches. That’s a good thing in a way… You don’t have to worry about running into the ditch, but it […]

It’s A Gamble

I have never been a gambler with money, but I would love to get the chance to go to Las Vegas. I bet it’s a really cool place to live. The night lift looks absolutely wonderful. It’s completely opposite from where I live. When the sun goes down here, everything closes up, but in Las […]

Damn

I have tried several ideas tonight and nothing’s working. The video I did sucks big time. The audio one I did is just horrible. I tried to do a post of some pics of my surroundings and the pictures will not line up right. It looked like a jumbled mess. I’m giving up for the […]

Need Help Writing?

I am not a professional writer, obviously. I don’t even claim to be a good writer. I just write what comes to mind. If I were to have to write an essay, I would be in trouble. Thankfully, there are places out there that can help those of us that struggle with writing. With college […]

Fouled

My plans have been fouled again. I wanted to go shopping tomorrow and get the rest of the stuff to finish Jesse’s room. It’s a perfect time to do that because both of our boys are gone. Keith was supposed to be off work tomorrow, but he just came in early and said that he […]

Rain

We got a good little rain last night. We ended up getting almost 1 1/2 inches. Pretty good when we’ve been getting nothing. We’re still in a drought and I don’t see that changing any time soon. There are all sorts of water restrictions right now, none that affect me since I don’t water my […]

Boots

Keith’s job is so rough on his boots. He goes through several pairs of work boots every year and they are not cheap. He normally wears his boots until they are completely falling apart. We have learned through trial and error, that you get what you pay for when it comes to boots. If you […]

Failed

This is my failed attempt at videoing. This was what we woke up to Thursday morning on our vacation. The tropical storm/depression/thunderstorm or whatever it was, was coming in. It gave us really crappy weather for the last days of our vacation, but we did get a few breaks to go outside and fish a […]

Babies

I would really love to have another child. I’m not going to, but I would love to. After having Kel, I immediately thought that I wanted another one. Two weeks later, I found myself back in the hospital and very sick. That sealed the deal of me being finished with having babies. If I were […]

Stupid

It’s so stupid to me how I’m always wanting a break from my kids, but when I get it I do not know what to do. They left just a little while ago to spend the weekend with my parents and now I have nothing to do. I feel like a teen again…”I’m bored!” Keith’s […]

How much?

If I were to ask you what you needed most, most of you would probably answer me with more money. It is something that we have to have. If you don’t have money, then you’re in a really bad position. You can get the things you need and it gets really hard. Been there, done […]

Sometimes…

Sometimes I do things and think later…. “Damn, that was really stupid of me.”… Yesterday this car pulls up, I hear my brother-in-law’s dog going crazy so I have to go outside because this young guy standing on my porch is about to be eaten alive. After taking care of the dog situation, he asks […]

Networking

The one thing I worry about when thinking about starting my own business is where to go to get found. I know that it is really hard on someone with a home-based business. There is so much that goes into putting it all together, and then to have to worry about how others are going […]

Finally

The wheelchair guy finally showed up about 10 minutes to 5. I had already given up. It was so crazy for him to come all the way out here when all I needed to do was ask a question. I don’t know what the part is called, but we’re needing a piece that goes on […]

Be Wise

If you are considering getting a credit card, my only advice is for you to be wise. Know what you are getting yourself into, and make sure that you can make the payments to pay of the balance as quickly as possible. There are a million types of credit cards out there, and it isn’t […]

No Show

It’s looking like today is going to be another no show for the guy that’s supposed to be coming over to work on Jesse’s wheelchair… He was supposed to come yesterday. I sat here the entire day waiting and he never showed up. If they’re not going to make it, then they should just call […]

Flying

Did you know that I have a huge fear of flying? Just the thought of it makes me sick. I have only been up in the air once and that was in a helicopter. As much as I loved it, I really hated it. I was so nervous that I could barely look out the […]

PTP

Sometimes things are just too good not to share… I can’t give all the details away, but I would like to see if anyone can guess what “PTP” stands for. Then again… Maybe not. I am trying to watch my rating around here. Some of you *cough* Von & Angry *cough* are cutting it […]

Energy

I know most kids are like this, but I am just really not used to having to deal with a child that is bursting with energy. Kel never sits still. He won’t even sit long enough to eat. So, I am trying to find ways to help him burn off some of his energy. I […]

Colorful

I swear that if I don’t quit highlighting my hair, I’m going to have to shave it all off. I don’t even know why I do it. I like my natural hair color. I just get bored and then go and do something crazy. I have so many shades in my hair right now […]

Gifts

The expensive part of the year is getting very close for me. The birthdays start up next month and continue through the end of January. Pretty soon I will be buying gifts every week… Some weeks will require more than that. I am really not looking forward to it. I think that the best Gift […]

Cats

I have a house full of cats and no way to record it. We have been playing pretend this afternoon and the kids have came up with a play… Well, sort of. Jesse has thought out the act in his head and Kel is working quite well with him. It’s like he has trained Kel. […]

Crazy

I’m about to lose my mind. Every time I turn around Kel runs up and grabs my laptop and starts clicking away. Then he closes it before I can get to him. I think he’s messed something up because it’s acting all crazy. It’s taking forever for programs to open up. He just clicks, clicks, […]

Find Me

I have had many people tell me that they have searched for my name online and came up empty handed. I have no idea why I don’t show up. I have searched for myself and found nothing. I did find a girl with my name that lives about 20 minutes from me, but she isn’t […]

Hungry

I am so hungry right now… I’m cooking and it’s smelling good. That isn’t making it any better on me. I’m trying not to eat because that’ll make me not enjoy lunch. So, instead of me eating, you get me writing posts. I know it probably won’t be worth reading, but you can deal with […]

Broke?

I am currently in the best financial condition of my life. I actually have quite a bit of money saved up in my name. It is in my name only, not a joint account. This is a really good thing for me, because with the money in my account, Keith does not care what I […]

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct.
It’s pretty obvious that you don’t make basic grammatical errors.
If anything, you’re annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.
As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they’re only human.
And it’s humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

Did you know that wearing Military Uniforms can make your booty look better? Maybe that’s why I’ve always thought men in uniforms were sexy… The uniforms have been tricking me! Keep on tricking me is all I can say, because I’m not complaining. If you’re wanting to give it a try and see if you […]

Wrong

I had this crazy idea in my head that since Kel didn’t go to sleep until 10 last night, that he would actually sleep late this morning… He got up around 6:30… I was so not ready to get up. He’s been going full speed ever since he opened his eyes. I stayed up way […]

Keep Them Safe

You know how expensive movies are. I hate to find out that one of our DVDs has been scratched, cracked or broken. It happens quite often in my house with my two rough boys, and it’s too expensive to replace them all. Then there are the precious family videos that can’t be replaced… There is […]

Not Feeling Well

I’m not sure what’s wrong with me tonight, but I don’t really feel good. My head hurts and I’m kinda achy. I really hope I’m not getting sick. Kel had something wrong with him. I thought it was a cold but it only lasted about 24 hours… A cold normally lasts longer than that. At […]

Liking It

I really hated it when Keith first went to working nights, and then I began to like it. Now he’s working from 2 p.m. until around midnight. I’m already loving it. I don’t know why, but it seems to go smoother at night with it just being me and the boys. They go to sleep […]

Hairy Issues

Ok, so I have been letting myself go lately. I know I really need to do something about it. I get in these moods and I just really don’t care about how I look. I need to get some new hair products. That always makes me want to fix my hair and look my best. […]

*Sigh*

I’m sitting here watching a show on modeling and I keep thinking that I should be a famous model. I always wanted to be a model, but never tried because my parents didn’t want that for me. Nah, being famous wasn’t good enough… I was meant to be a stay at home mom that does […]

It Isn’t Easy

I am quickly learning that it isn’t easy to make money online. You really have to work at it. I learn a little bit everyday on how to do it more successfully. I couldn’t imagine how hard it must be for a business that is just starting out to try and make it. Luckily, there […]

Not Happy

I didn’t even realize how close deer season is getting. Keith told me today that he wanted us to go spend the weekend with my parents. I thought that it sounded nice and wanted to go… Until he went on to let me know that he needed to get his stand set up… That’s the […]

Guilty

I had to confess something today… I did a mean thing while on vacation… I was laying in the bed, watching the stars through the big glass doors and trying to fall asleep. I was having a hard time laying still because of the sunburn, so I couldn’t sleep. Keith kept tossing and turning and […]
