Me and the kids had a great time with my friend and her kids. My kids were in their glory they each had someone to play with. My friend has two boys one 13 and the other is 6 so my kids stayed busy. The down side is now they want to go visit Jersey it's not that I don't want to visit Jersey I just don't want to leave my pets. The 2 cats would be fine but my dog Max he would not be I'm afraid. He is getting older and has never really been away from us so I am worried about leaving him with someone.

I would like to go see my parents and some of my friends some of them I could do without seeing. I haven't been back to NJ in almost 3 years I have seen my parents since then but it has been almost 2 years since then. I guess I will have to figure out how to make it happen.

My friend loved it so much down here she wants to move here she was looking for jobs and houses while she was here. I think it is because I taught her how to use the riding mower and now she wants one and the land to ride it on....But that's just what I think

Just when I decide to get back into my blogging I get a phone call and one of my friends from Jersey is coming down for a visit. She will be here tonight and leave on Sunday so needless to say I will not be on for a few days. I hope you all have a great week and awesome weekend.

Hopefully I will have some pictures and stuff to post about after she leaves.

I haven't been blogging because to be perfectly honest not a whole hell of alot goes on here. My life is a bit boring my days are all the same. Wake up drink coffee clean yell at the kids clean some more eat lunch yell at the kids again dinner. See same shit different day.

I am hoping to change all of that soon I have been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. I am doing research on going to school right now I am looking into real estate school. I think I may be good at it and it is something I can revolve around my kids school schedule sort of.

The down side of this is it costs a bit more money than I have at the moment. So I will have to wait a bit to come up with it. I am not discouraged though it will happen it is just a matter of time.

Going to school may be just the thing I need to get me out of my long lasting funk.Give me material to blog about and a life outside of being a wife and a mother. I need that to be a better mom and wife. I need to find me again to remember who I am as a person.

Sitting here in this house day in and day out has brought me to a place I am not to sure I like. I love being a mom I just miss being me. I look in the mirror at myself and I don't recognize my self not just physically but mentally.I used to never go out of the house without my hair fixed or make up on and now I could care less. I just throw on a hat and I am done.

Some really shitty things have happened to me in my past and I think I still let them bother me I know I shouldn't but I do. There are some things you just hold on to no matter how screwed up they are they change you make you someone who is untrusting and bitter.

I need to do something outside of the home to give me a chance to get back to who I am or maybe even find a whole new me. To help me get over issues I have been struggling with for years . I have learned to forgive the people who have hurt me but have not learned to forget and that is what I need to do to move on with my life. Get back the time I have lost feeling hurt and betrayed and start fresh.

And I am very sorry :( I have not been blogging or visiting any of my friends. I am going to honest here and say that I had lost interest in it. I wasn't getting out of it what I wanted or so I thought. I did make some wonderful friends here and for that I am most grateful. So I guess I did get more out of it than I ever imagined.

I am back now and hope that I did not lose any of my wonderful friends. I will be here tomorrow with my back to blogging post right now I have to go play Clue with my kids.

See you all tomorrow with a new attitude and hopefully some stories to post about.

Sorry for not having the logo for Musical Mondays but it just looks terrible on this layout. I am in the process of making a new layout so hopefully it will look and work better.
I was mowing the lawn and this song was stuck in my head. Not a bad tune to have playing over and over again in my noggin. I love Jimmy Buffett Come Monday and Cheeseburger in paradise is also a good one.

Is your desk a mess or is it the most organized thing in your home. What's in your home or out your front door we want to see your world through your eyes.

So I want to tell you how this meme is going to work

1. If you wish to play along please leave a comment here with your blog name so everyone who is playing can come to your blog to take a look.
2. Please use the logo above in your post linking back to this site.
3. Please lets keep things PG rated for all of our family oriented blogs
4. When making your post please use the following sentence
"This is what you see when you look Through My Eyes"
5. Have fun!!!!!
This is what you see when you look through my eyes at my giant fish. We have a 125 gal fish tank and only have 2 fish in it. Now why would we have such a huge tank and only 2 fish?Good question and I'm glad you asked. I bought my husband a new fish last year after his GIANT Albino Catfish died when I say giant I mean GIANT he was about 2ft long. He died cause we apparently got some bad feeders. Anyway I go to the store and see this cute little fish that is the size of a quarter it was a Pacu. I'm thinking I will get him for hubby to replace the catty. I knew he was going to get big no big deal our tank is big and we can handle him. The info on the fish was "the fish was a vegetarian" I got him with the intention on getting other fish for our tank.News flash he is NOT I repeat NOT a vegetarian. He was here less than a day and had eaten all the other fish in the tank.

Except for my Plecostomus (algae eater) who was larger than him so he couldn't eat him. The Pacu is now about 16 inches long and I could put other fish in the tank but they have to be either half his size or bigger. It's ok though the Pocu is pretty cool he has a personality he loves the bubbler that is in the tank.He likes to put the bubbler between his body and his fin it looks neat. He also knows when it is time to eat he comes to the top of the tank and I drop pellets into his mouth.

I noticed yesterday that the template I was using and really liked was missing it's sidebar.So until I can fix it I am going to use my second choice. Please forgive the construction going on for the next few days.

I really need to figure out how to make my own templates using ones that were created by someone else sure seems to be a big pain in my butt. I am going to do some research and figure out how to do it myself. I hope it doesn't take me to long.

This is what you see when you look through my eyes at my kids. They decided to be Sumo wrestlers and shoved blankets down their shorts.They were running into each other and knocking each other down it was so funny.

So I think I like it the new look of my blog that is.

What do you think?

I fell in love with the frogs in the header they are so cute. Initially the banner in the middle of the frogs was blank I added my Lapadula house after I edited it on Picnik.

Does it look good?

I found the template on BTemplates they have some really nice ones there for free. I was torn between a few of them but this one won out.

If you go here you will see the other one I wanted but I didn't like how it stretched out the post.

You know me I get bored with the same old same old so for the next few days I am doing a redo. Sorry for the mess

My dear friend Tina has decided she is not busy enough with 2 kids and 3 blogs so she started another blog.I guess she wanted to use up what little time she has left.I wish her all the best with her new travel blog.You can visit her at any one of these wonderful blogs.
