Selling Pies

Well since Ben is now in school you also get everything that comes along with it. Like the selling of things to support the school. Well on Friday Ben brought home a orde3r form and now he is selling pies. It is a company that has the same pies as bakers square. The class with the biggest pie sales gets to have a pizza party. So Ken said he would take the order form to work and maybe sell a couple. The pies come in time for Christmas so it will be nice to have. They are selling a variety from French silk to cheesecake and all the traditional fruit pies as well. So I might just have to buy one from my son with my blogging cash.

Anyways Ken called me today from work at 9:30. He was calling to ask me how I was feeling and then he also said guess how many pies I have sold. Well I said "3". He said ok so three is your guess? And I said yes. Well he said nope I sold 16 already! Wow who would have thought. He said some people have bought 3 pies, where others have bought one. So I guess I will have a lot of pies to pick up this December. We still have not even asked the family if they would like to get any yet. I am sure that my parents will buy one from him. I think Ken secretly likes seeing how many he can sell at work. It gives him a little excitement in the day.

Lets talk about it again

So many times in one week Ken and I talk about moving someplace. We used to really want to move to Manteno and don't get me wrong we still do love the place. Ken however always wants to move to Texas. Well I really would love to move there also. However I am always reluctant because I don't think that I could leave my parents behind. The kids adore them and I want them to continue to grow up with them so close to us. Lately however my parents have been talking with us about also moving there. They are thinking that in maybe two year we can both put up our houses for sale and we can move together. My dad really wants my mom to be able to see her mom and her sisters all the time since my grandma has died there is really nothing holding them back here in Illinois. We really are not close to Ken's family here and never see them anyways so we can continue to keep in touch with his dad and brother over the computer like always. We love the closeness of my family there, the simple fact that you actually see the family instead of just emailing them when they live only a couple miles away. So Ken was very excited when I told him and he was starting to look for jobs and houses there. Yes we both were jumping the gun a little bit but I just think that Texas is in our future. I really hate the heat but I love to swim. So we can get a beautiful house with a nice pool. There is so many pros's and con's of both. Ken said he will miss the snow I will also miss the sight of the snow but not the driving in it and the cold. It sure is pretty to see when the ground is covered in white. I will also miss my mommy friends dearly. We have become so close and can talk about anything. The kids will also miss the other I am sure. So we will see what God has in store for our future and we will still continue to pray together about it at night. We know that God will lead us in the right direction.

Nursing

Well as many of you know I am currently in school for the nursing program at my not so local community college. I really am liking it so far and I even came across a friends mom that told me that she loved doing it and that she made really good money when she was working. I was recently looking for a school where I can get my MS nursing degree by taking classes online as well as spending a weekend at the school learning a little more than the online stuff. I just happened to come across the Saint Xavier University web site and I really like what they had to offer. I so want to get school done with so that I can get a really good paying career and not just your average job. What I love is not only do they have nursing programs but they also have tons of other high quality graduate programs that are taught by their knowledgeable professors. So if your sick of sitting at a desk doing nothing or working that dead end retail job check out Saint Xavier University and change your life around.

Big News

Well so far it has been eight weeks and I have been not wanting to spill the news. Ken however has been asking me why not. Well I don't really know I guess I just have been waiting. Only my mommy group friends know that we are expecting again. We all told each other because three of us including me found out we were pregnant in the same month. Some were not trying others were. So it has been fun for us sharing this together. I have been very sick for a couple weeks now and it is not just in the morning. Ken took off work today because I had an ultrasound appointment at the out patient center at the hospital. So far everything is going very well besides the sickness. So that is our big news. This will be out last little one so we are pretty happy. We have not yet told Ben since it is still so far away for them. So that is our big news!

Just a little taller

Yes I have to say that I wish Maddie was just a little taller that way she would be less annoying. Ok maybe I am being a little mean and it is my fault because I wanted her potty trained in the first place. I am very glad she is finished training however I did not think that she would go through the stage of not wanting to use the little potty so fast. I should have known. It used to be really easy because she would go to the potty all by herself then when she was finished wash her hands using the stool in the bathroom. Well not anymore now she wants nothing to do with the little potty and is always wanting to use the big one. Well that's fine but she always picks the worst times to tell me she has to go. Also she can not get up there by herself so i have to stop what is going on to lift her up. This gets very old being as she goes potty about a hundred times a day not including the poops! This weekend Ken promised to make or figure something out for me so that she will be able to get up there by herself. It could not come any sooner.

Multiple controls

I have a friend that owns a small business and he was running multiple computers from numerous keyboards and monitors throughout his building. He thought there had to be a better way since he was running all the same program on each computer. So he came across a KVM which allowed him to run many computers from one central monitor and mouse. This way there was a lot less confusion and it made it easier to see what each computer was doing at each different location. If it sound like something you could use check out the different products available right online.

A Baby Expo

Well I was chit chatting on the phone today with one of my mommy friends and when we hung up I could not believe that we were on the phone for 73 minutes. it surely did not seem like it at all. Anyways she was telling me that she was going to a baby show this weekend and that I should go too. She said that she goes every year and it is really big. It is not the one in Tinley park that I have been to before. She was telling me that this one puts that one to shame. She said there is so many free things and that it is really fun for the kids. So I was thinking that maybe this weekend Ken and I might just check it out. I have to ask him if he would like to go first but he usually like things like that so I am sure he would be fine with it. You can see and try all the newest baby products on the market. She was also telling me that there is lots to do for the older kids as well so Ben would have a good time. So hopefully this Sunday we will check it out.

Missing cables

Fro some strange reason when we are about to use something I always notice that we are missing the cables for it. Whether it be audio cable or video cables they just end up missing. I know they are around the house some place but when you need them in a hurry you don't always have time to look around. So that's why it would be nice to have a second set in case one even stops working. Do you know where you can get a Cat5e patch cable if you need one. Well I know this place online that provides great customer service as well as great products and fast shipping. You can get the cord you need in time for your event. It might be a small company but it is growing very fast.

Extra Assignements

Well One thing that I was very excited to see was when I log into my PayU account I was seeing lots of assignments. They also looked like special ones. So I was checking them out when I noticed that it says it was from the sheriff and that I was getting extra job because of all my hard work. I have to say I am very thankful for them. i love all the extra jobs. It is a lot of writing but I could really use the work. I think that PayU is my favorite site of all time.
