Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

I don’t think there is a time when I don’t remember wanting to go to Six Flags. In southeast Texas the theme park we flocked to every summer was in Houston called Astro World. I think we went every year and Water World was next door. I remember that theme park so well. I also [...]

Mama Don’t Do Pets, Or Does She

Mama Don’t Do Pets, Or Does She

I have been a mama for over 16 years, but I really don’t like pets. I am scared of dogs and cats and hate things sniffing at me and touching me. I almost forgot. We did open our home to 2 hermit crabs. They both died a few weeks later. R.I.P. My kids have never [...]

Southeast Texas Spring Football

Southeast Texas Spring Football

The southeast Texas area has said to have produced more professional athletes than any other area of the country. My son really loves football like a fat kid loves cakes. He only really started playing after we moved back to this area from Illinois in 2005. Yesterday was the first spring scrimmage football game. Next [...]

Backyard Friends

Backyard Friends

Everyday I sit outside on my back deck for just a bit. I don’t have an entirely big yard, and it has a tree right in the middle, shading the entire thing. But lately I have been catching some new friends on camera. Check them out. Aren’t they so cute. I see them everyday. I [...]

Attack Of The Opossums

Attack Of The Opossums

Here is my story of my opossums trying to invade my home. We have seen opossums in our backyard and neighbor hood before. We have even seen 2 of them crawling on one of my neighbors roof. They are icky and nasty, with their little red beady eyes. Well, last week I was sitting on [...]

I Hate Allergies

I Hate Allergies

My oldest son who is 15 has the worst allergies. Basically, he is allergic to all grass and trees. Throw a little mold in there and he really gets going. His reactions are not typical to a runny nose or sore throat. He gets migraine. Severe migraines at that. I can always tell when he [...]

I Swear They Want Everything

I Swear They Want Everything

It is getting that time of the year again where my kids need new summer clothes. It seems that the older they get, the more they need. I would call myself cheap, but I guess the politically correct term would be frugal. I hate to spend lots of money for anything. And, when your kids [...]

Newest Addition To My Closet

Newest Addition To My Closet

I got some new beautiful shoes today when I was shopping at Ross. I love to shop there when they actually have enough cashiers so you don’t have to wait 30 minutes in line. On occasion you can find some really beautiful shoes at Ross. Check out the ones I was lucky enough to catch [...]

Spiders!

Spiders!

Remember when I told you I thought a spider bit me? Well guess what I found?!?! About 2 weeks ago we found this huge ugly spider in the living room. My BIL killed it. Well, over the weekend I found another in the hallway. Look at him! Don’t he look scary? I killed that one. [...]

On Saturday I had a house party that was sponsored by ScanDigital. ScanDigital takes your printed old or new photos and puts them on DVD for you. You can do a wedding, party, vacation DVD or even generic photos that are not really related. Before they complete the process they touch up the images. They [...]

I Know I Am Cool

I Know I Am Cool

I can remember those days where my mom was not cool. Yeah, I know that was back in the day. I did not want her to drop me off in front of the school, I never wanted my friends to meet her, and I hated when she talked to my teachers. Hey, I was a [...]
