A Blog Award.... thanks Stace and Jenn!!!!

Wow... not only is this a really sweet award.... it really makes me laugh because if you all only knew how much coffee I consume in one day.... try 2 pots a day! I simply cannot function without my coffee fix.... Steffie even knows how to make a pot of coffee.... and when I get up every morning she'll say "drink your coffee Mommy". This award was given to me by two of my favorite bloggers this week Stace at All Stace, All the Time.... and Jenn at My Kids Are My World. They both have wonderful blogs and are really special ladies... so please give them a visit... I'm sure you'll love them as much as I do :) I really am honored that you both think so warmly of my blog.... thank you... thank you... thank you. I feel the same way about you both!

Here are the rules with this sweet and fun award: This award is for having a blog good enough to wake you up in the morning and keeping you going all day! I need to give this award to 7 different blogs that I think are blogs that keep you going:

1 - PJ at PJ's Prose
2 - Grampy at Grampy and You
3 - Wendy at Athena Academy
4 - Vicki at Frugal Mom Knows Best
5 - Stacie at Super Mommy To The Rescue
6 - Storm at Confessions of a Psychotic Housewife
7 - Texan Mama at Who Put Me In Charge of These People

These are just a few of the blogs that I love to read. Thanks again girls.... you are both be on my list of best reads as well :)

Swimming Pool In The Kitchen???

Have you ever wanted a swimming pool in your kitchen??? Me neither... but Steffie did. She woke up this morning and decided that while Mommy was sleeping that she would build herself a swimming pool in the kitchen. Now if it had looked something like this...

I might have actually been happy with my lil surprise... but since it didn't... I wasn't. I am not a morning person... AT ALL... I need at least half a pot of coffee before I can think halfway straight... I was not happy in the least to wake up to a flooded kitchen floor to have to deal with before I could even have a sip of my precious and necessary morning wake-me-up. Did I take a picture of it??? NO... that was the last thing on my mind.

But I have to say that she and I discussed the issue and she now realizes that swimming pools do not belong in the kitchen... and that her idea was a really really bad one. She apologized profusely... gave me lots of hugs and kisses... and tried her lil hardest to make Mommy feel happy again. Of course it worked... I had to forgive the lil stinker. Let's just hope her next big idea is not first thing in the morning... and does not involve lots of water... or anything else that I will have to clean up before my coffee... and is an actual good idea...

Oh and... if anyone wants to put a swimming pool in my kitchen... I'll take the one above... in the picture ;)

A Call To The Creative....

Have you seen these new large plastic containers that coffee is coming in these days... sure you have... especially if you drink gallons of coffee like I do.



Well I have amassed a nice collection of these wonderful containers. Thing is I have no idea what to do with them. They have to be good for something! I can't bring myself to throw them away.... we don't have recycling here in Hickville.... and they seem like such nice containers. They even have a nice handle on them. I can't find a way to get the logos off of them... they're painted on or something.

So I'm asking all of you creative ones out there..... what can I do with these great containers??? Give me some craft ideas!!! Surely they are good for something! We used one as a drum for Steffie when was a baby... but she's long outgrown her lil drum. I even Googled it and came up with zilch as far as craft projects. So tell me something! Anything! I have a ton of them sitting here and I need a reason to not throw them out!

Save our Mother Earth from this plastic going to the dump!!!

Save my house before I have enough to wallpaper a whole room with these things!!!
