Life in My Shoes...

So I thought I'd give a little glimpse of my day... this is a peek of life through my shoes. I share traffic with cows. Yeeeeehaw baby. He kept staring...... The highlight of my work day yesterday, learning how to wire for a new product. Not cause I have to or even need to, but simply because somebody lost a bet an thought it'd be funny to have to teach me something technical as a result. IT WORKED though so I rock.The kids' opponents forfeited without even showing up (guess word is out...

Rain!

We finally got some rain down here in East Texas. Whew, the burn bans have been waving for awhile and I was happy to have rain to fall asleep to. Although not happy to have a dog and a child wake me up at 3am cause the thunder/lightening was so bad it scared the crap out of them. Poor babies. Then there was my and Murphy's special mommy/doggie bonding time at 530 when I let him out and he promptly fell off my porch into a mudpuddle so early bath time for him! Nothing says happy Tuesday like fighting a dog in the tub before the sun rises. Today was TAKS tests for my kids. I was so worried as it's...

Why I'm Not Ashamed To Not Be Creative

So when we moved into this house, I splurged on a bedding set for the master bedroom. Cause a room that makes me so happy should be purty. I get so little sleep that I literally giggle everytime I walk into my room, so freaking love my bedroom. (and some people who know what a cheapscape I am, literally just passed out at my use of the word splurge, lol)So when SOMEONE decided to wash my comforter to remove the Murphy drool spot, the whole bottom seam came unravelled and open. Ghetto city. And I tried ducktape but it didn't last a week.Finally got smart, sucked it up and dropped it off at the...

More of our weekend/week in review: Texas Style

So as usual, we had a busy weekend. Dave is home!!!! Love having my guy home, just lights up my house. And since we'd already had a ton of stuff scheduled, he jumped right in. We got rid of our old washer/dryer and in 21 minutes went in and agreed on/paid for/loaded up and headed out with our new ones. It's like we use the force, we just look at each other and know, yep or nope. But we got the ones we wanted/needed and here's to another ten years with a good set. Our AC unit went out in our leased...
