Things I just can't figure out!

1. WHY DOESN'T WAL-MART HAVE MORE CASHIER LINES OPEN???????
Seriously...it is the holidays for heck sakes...didn't they see their commercial where the said the were opening more lines to make our lives easier? They even smiled and did a little light show!!!!

2. IF A SIGN HANGING ON THE WINDOW OF A STORE SAYS..."SAVE 60% STOREWIDE ON THE THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN FOR CHRISTMAS..." SAY IN TINY WORDS AT THE BOTTOM...ON SELECT ITEMS ONLY...
This one is tricky ...IT IS NOT STORE WIDE....if it is only certain items you choose.. also if the item is a Christmas theme IT SHOULD BE ON SALE.. not regular price.. I CAN'T WEAR IT TILL NEXT YEAR!!!!

3. WHY MUST MEN WATCH SPORTS ALL DAY LONG!! AND THEN TALK TO THE PLAYERS, OFFICIALS AND COACHES LIKE THEY CAN HEAR THEM....
cheering does you and the team no good if you are not actually at the game so there is a small chance that they might here your tiny voice, sitting blending in with the rest of the crazed fans who probably sit at home and yell at their TV!!!!

4. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO GROUCHY! IS YOUR LIFE REALLY THAT BAD! SMILE FOR HEAVEN SAKES! IT ISN'T THAT BAD.. I BET SOMEONE'S LIFE IS WORSE...
this is something that I have just noticed recently... people seem so grouchy..what happened to you make what you want of your day! Ok that is what I say to my students but really it is!

5. THIS ONE MAY COME AS A SHOCKER.. BUT WHY IS EVERYONE A HORRIBLE DRIVER BUT YOU!
This is so true. You are the best driver there is! Everyone else is horrible and doesn't know how to drive correctly! You should be a driver's ed instructor you are so good!

6.WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE...????
Maybe I live in the wrong part of the country but I think that customer service has gone downhill lately. I mean that is what I do for a living!

These are just a few things that I can't figure out.. when I think of a few more I will let you know.. so don't worry... if you feel like you have a few things to add PLEASE DO!!!!

Just a few pics!




So here are a couple picture... My mom and I were watching the girls for the day and this is one of the things we did to entertain for ten minutes.. Kids move on so quickly... however picture taking is one thing that will last a while, as long as you let them see the pictures after each photo shot! It was a lot of fun.. I miss being close to the girls and Josh so much!!!

Surprise!



This Christmas we thought we would miss Lindsey and Matt, Christy and Josh... Well it turned out we didn't .. we just missed Lindsey. Matt and the Fam decided to surprise us with a visit. It was so nice. I have never seen my dad and mom so excited.. I mean Dad almost fell out of his chair and mom well she is a cryer! It was so so nice to see them and so great of them to make the trip in the snow and bad weather to be with everyone! Thanks Guys!!!!

Fun in the snow


I am not one to get out and play in the snow we all know I despise skiing and hate the cold! That is one reason I moved to Az.. lets be honest here. So I went mom and pops house and had to enjoy the snow a little and how can you say no to the two cutest things on the planet when they ask you to come out and make snow angels and build a snowman with gravel eyes and a carrot nose! Seriously.. I couldn't say NO!!! Here is our beautiful finished product!

A DEER...I couldn't believe it!

Ok the title YEAH A JOKE... this was like the millionth deer that I have seen in my life in Colorado but this puppy was pretty big so ERIC had to turn the car around about five miles from our destination and take a picture of this guy...

Trip to Colorado...

This year we went to my parents house for Christmas! It was really fun.. A long drive but worth it~ I'm not so sure the Kitty's would agree since they had to come with us and stay in the shed behind the house with a couple of heat lamps. My mom is not fond animals as most of us know... don't worry the kitty's were fine.. It snowed the whole time we were there almost.. the last day we woke up and it was 5degrees! YEAH... now that is why I like AZ... no weather that makes your nose freeze together. First we will see how much Kali and Maggie enjoyed the trip.. Kali I don't think saw 95 percent of the drive... because she was SLEEPING...in very funny positions.. here are a few.. and MAGGIE was less amused by the trip...



Christmas early....


Eric's Mom and sister Tammy and Evan came to visit us... so we opened a little Christmas early.. I got a cute ring from Kay's and Eric of course got a stocking stuffer of PEZ.. it was pretty funny! I don't have a picture to document that exciting moment but it was sure funny since he thought it was something good! But Evan got a cute Nike Outfit~ Here we are on the couch~

Is this SANTA? Or Santa's Helper???


This is just too cute! I had to put it on the blog. Evan came to visit us last weekend with his mom and grandma..I had an extra Santa hat (long story...but I bought the child size and wondered why my head was so big!!!) SO I let Evan have it.. he makes such a cute Santa bear!

I'm not the CAT LADY but I couldn't resist!!!


Since we don't have kids... AND WON'T FOR A LONG TIME!!!!! I have nothing else but my kitties! They had a trip to the Vet yesterday and this is the first time either of them have voluntarily climbed in their carrier and the first time they have been within 2 feet of each other unless one is annoying and tormenting the other! SO.. I had to take a picture.. Apparently the vet is a bonding place for kittens... they also hate it because of the temperature check!!!! (you don't need details I promise!) So here they are my two little kids!

Yes it is true.....I am a sucker!




HOW CAN I SAY NO TO THIS FACE!!! Well it was an interesting weekend... full of shopping and getting decorations out... stuffing my face.... and it didn't end there let me tell you! I went to work on Monday morning like always... it is late start on Mondays which means we have to be at school by 8:15 but the kids don't have to be there until 10am when the bell rings for first! SOOO......I get through my first hour class just fine... and then on to second which is my planning hour.. guess how much planning I got done! A big fat ZERO!!! Why because we got an email sent out to all the teachers saying that this little kitty followed a fellow teacher into her classroom and she was very lovable and very cute... and she hated to see it go to the pound! So if we were interested and wanted to see her she was in her room.. SO... immediately I went to Eric and told him about it! He said go look at her and send me a picture.. I go to the room and oh my goodness... I couldn't resist ... I felt so bad for her. She was so dirty.. and very very skinny... I could feel every single bone in her poor little body. We don't now how long she was out alone and I am guessing she wouldn't have made it if we didn't take her in. I got this gene called "you are a sucker for small animals and big animals and anything that resembles an animal" syndrome from my FATHER!!!! My mom not so much.. she is not an animal lover... however my dad..passed his gene on to me which I love. My two little kitties make me laugh. They are slowly getting use to each other and Kali(new kitty) is getting stronger and is now playing with strings and sponge balls....Something that she didn't do before! Yes.. can you imagine what I would be like if I had KIDS!!! Yikes... you just heard way more about my Cats than you needed to know!
