We went to Hurricane Harbor (Water park) it was sooo much fun, jr and i are the onlyone that have been there b4.... the twins had a blast, so did Norm.

It's only 20-25 minutes from home too, so it's nice! We slept in a tent, cooked on a tiny charcoal grill, and the open fire! We played mini golf, took a lil hike, a hayride, we went out on a row boat! The kids had a blast, and so did Norman and I! It was a nice weekend for all.. infact 2 weeks from now we plan to go back.

Social Spark...A way to make CASH

2008-05-20T08:22:00.000-07:00

Well, as some of you have noticed, i do a little advertising Blogging, to make a bit of extra cash! A momma's gotta do what a momma's gotta do!

Look what I found.... A new network, made for Bloggers! SocialSpark! They offer you the blogger the opportunity to make some money blogging. They provide the opportunities, all you have to do is accept them , and start blogging!

I have tried other sites, but the number of opps was ridiculously low, not giving the chance to make money like SocialSpark, they have lots of opps available at on time!

I never would have thought I could make serious money just talking about stuff. Believe me I LOVE to talk.

Social spark also allows you to connect with other bloggers. This is my first opp with SocialSpark, but they are very straight forward about what they want from you as a blogger!

There is a Message center on SocialSpark, you can receive messages from other members, as well as message letting you know if you were approved for an Opp. There is also a spot for others to leave you feedback. I love how easy it to tell which opps are available, and which ones you qualify for.

When blogging about one of Social Spark's opps, you must disclose that you are making money for it. At Social Spark they are looking for real opinions, not someone to just BS through some blogging! SocialSpark is also 100% search engine friendly!

Lazy day

2008-05-10T07:17:00.000-07:00

Well, Fridaynight my grandmom kept the kids overnight, so saturday we woke to an empty QUIET house! We went to the movies, saw Baby Momma, it was good. Funny, but we kind of expected funnier! then off to the grocery store for meats! We lucked out, a huge pack of drumsticks for 5 bucks; and we split it into 4 meals..also a big package of sausage for 4 bucks, another 4 or 5 meals outta that. We stopped at the police station to report that someone ransacked our car sometime between friday night and saturday morning when we went to the movies... Norm is real anal about locking the car, well sometimes our clicker doesn't always work. We went to bed thinking it was locked, someone went in and every thing from the glove compartment and the center console was EVERYWHERE! But they didn't take the radar detector, or the cell phone that was layin on the floor! Cradk head, prolly looking for loose change or some shit! Also someitme last week someone went in our garage and took Matt's bike... So now we have locks on EVERYTHING! i am ambout to bolt down the porch furniture!

But anyway, we had an easy dinner, more beer battered Tilapia, and some fried cauliflower! YUMMY!

It was Delisious.

I also made home made fries... they were YUMMY! sliced up the potaotes using my Vidalia Slice Wizard... put them in a bowl sprinkled a little cornstarch, salt, pepper, & cajun sesoning. I let that sit for about 30 minutes. Then into a sperat pot of hot oil.

Toothaches....OUCH!

2007-11-10T16:57:00.000-08:00

What's worse than tooth pain? If you ask me. Nothing! To me it the absolute worst pain ever, not only does it hurt, it's annoying. And what causes the tooth pain? A Cavity. So you go to the dentist and get it filled. then one day you are minding your own business eating Gummy fish.... What happens? it gets stuck to your filling and then next thing you know, Ut OH lost the filling, it got stuck in the candy and ripped out. It's Friday night, and the beginning of a 3 day Holiday weekend. Oh Crap no dentist appointment until at least Tuesday, and even then, I don's know about your dentist, but mine NEVER has same day appointments... So what's a person in pain to do?? Check out this great new product I have found!

I have found a Wonderful product! I have used, and love Dentemp OS. It's a temporary filling for cavities, and loose crowns. You can buy it at the grocery or drug store. It provides fast, temporary relief of pain and discomfort. It's easy to use, rinse your mouth with some warm water, apply the Dentemp OS, and in 30 minutes you can eat on it. This product has been tested and fully complies with FDA Regulations for Oral Care.

This is a product I keep in my medicine cabinet. It's a great temporary dental repair for those times that you just cannot get to the dentists office. You know, when it happens on Friday night of a 3 day Holiday weekend, or it happens while your dentist is on vacation, and like me you can't just randomly go to ANY dentist, it has to be YOUR dentist!

this is a sponsored post. But this is a product i really use. It is a life saver! Thanks for reading, and please feel free to leave me some comments.

Sunday night we went to Shady Brook farm. We went in the Barn Of Horror, The Hay ride 2 times, The Alien Invasion 3 times, The haunted Corn Maze. And Norm & Jr went for a ride in a monster truck!

I can't wait to go to Eastern State Pennitentiary.

Reading Tutors

2007-10-06T16:28:00.000-07:00

Well, 2nd grade has begun, and every night it's math homework. Well thanks to this site i have found a source for Math Tutors . I work nights, and his dad helps with his homework, but i thought this would be a nice boost for my son, he seems good at math so far, but things are progressing faster these days then when we were kids, and i want to make sure my kids have an academic advantage. So pleas if you need some help for your kids, check this site out. It's geard for kids ages 4-14. so it's pretty much meant for kids up to the 8th grade.

Hotel Reservations

2007-10-03T08:48:00.000-07:00

I think i found the website I will be using to book a flight for my family to go to Florida next summer.Hotel Reservations, it's such a simple site to navigate. There is even the option to use the site in six different languages. Book travels as far away as North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Australia.

What a great site, I can book flights, car rentals & hotel stays all at one site, instead ofthree separate ones.They accept all the major Credit Cards, and if you don't like using your cards over the Internet, feel free to give them a call and speak to one of their helpful, knowledgeable representatives.

They even offer vacation packages, sounds good to me. You can book, Flight & Car, Hotel & car, Flight & Hotel or, Flight, car & Hotel Combos... doesn't get much easier than that. You can book single destination tips, or multi destination trips all at once. You can book a Bed & Breakfast, or a Condo as well as regular hotel rooms, and Condos are nice when you are traveling with a large family. Especially with kids. It's nice to have access to a kitche, it saves money, plus kids always want to eat at the strangest times. They offer group bookings and Cruises too. You can search by address, city, or even by the amenities that are offered. I am all about trying to find ways to save money. I have 3 kids, vacation can get expensive, but with the help of a site like can I go wrong? I can't , they help with everything i need all at once.This site also helps you find places of interest near your destination. I gave it a try... i put in my Zip code and told it to find things with in 2 hours of my home town...It came up with:

NY, The most beguiling city in the world, New York is an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense romantic appeal for visitors.
ATLANTIC CITY, The real-life model for the board game Monopoly , it has an impressive history of popular culture, boasting the nation's first Boardwalk (1870), the world's first Big Wheel (1892), the first color postcards (1893) and the first Miss America Beauty Pageant (cunningly devised to extend the tourist season in 1921).Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

And then another 45 cties near by, and the cheapest amount i can find a room for in those cities. great for if there are out of town relatives coming, for a wedding, funeral, Graduation, or family reunion.

Our Weekend

2007-09-11T08:00:00.000-07:00

Saturday we went to a Wedding for one of the guys he works with! It was kind of hot, but it was beautiful! The Church was small but gorgeous. The reception was at an old Farm in a big Tent.... there was a creek that ran through the property, and trees, I'm sure they got GORGEOUS pictures there! Well I had a bit too much to drink, but it was FUN!

Sunday we went to Septemberfest, it's held at a community park, and there are food vendors, a rib cook off, companies given away freebies, craft vendors, schools selling drinks and snack for different clubs, some community organizations tryin to get the word out about what they do. The police have a big tent set up where they do the Kid IDs, they weigh and measure the kids and take a picture and put it all in a handy notebook, for you to keep incase the kids are lost or taken. They also finger print the kids, but we already have those.
Well toward the end of the day we were getting water from one of the tables... Carlie was right at my side, i bent down grabbed the water from a cooler, when i stood up, and turned around, she was GONE! we looked up and down the path and couldn't spot her. So there was a police officer right there, we stopped him and he radioed her description through the park, well since we happened to be near the Kid ID tent, Jr ran over and got his cop Buddy Officer Tom, well he starts looking, cuz he knows the kids.... mean while Norm has me stay put with Matt... I am HYSTERICALLY Crying.... and looking frantically for her lil blonde head to come running, as i turned to look again i see an officer handing her to her dad, she was cryin just as hard as i was.... It was a rough afternoon. So PLEASE don't let em out of your sight, not even for 2 seconds, that's all it took! That was the longest 5 minutes of my life.... I am now off to buy kiddie leash type things my friend Amy showed me....

International Calling Cards

2007-09-10T08:12:00.000-07:00

online phone card
Hey, do you have friends or family living in another country? Could you use an International Calling Card? Well, try Pingo, they save you up to 90 % on International Cell phone calls. There are no hidden fees with Pingo, and the best competitive rates. Pingo offers Rate watchers, so you don't have to dig through piles of offers to find the best rates available. For signing up you get 5 free hours of international calls. Wow, who couldn't use 5 FREE hours to talk to loved ones and friend far from home?

I can remember before cell phones, using a calling card from a pay phone, What a rip off, it would be a $10 card, and i thought I'd have plenty of time. Especially since i was making local calls, well I'd only get to talk for a few minutes, because there were those pesky hidden fees, a connection fee, what's that all about. Now had i been trying to call internationally I'd have been lucky to et a 2 minute conversation in, but luckily with Pingo, there are no hidden fees what you pay for is what you get. best part is for signing up you are going to get 5 free hours to talk to those you miss! Makes sure you use the links in my Blog to receive your free hours! Be sure to use coupon code "ppp3" to get the last $3 off. Happy Dialing!

Only 2 more days

2007-08-29T08:33:00.000-07:00

Well, My ALL time favorite movie is Halloween! 1& 2.... i consider them the same movie since 2 picks up right at the end of one..... and I LOVE the Movies i've seen done by Rob Zombie ( House of 1000 Corpses & Devil's Rejects) So when i heard he was coming out with a new Halloween movie.... i was SUPER excited! But then the bad news.... it was actually a remake of #1 sort of.... BUMMER, i HATE remakes! Then i found a streaming Video of the movie online... i watched a bit of it..... LOVED IT! but i stopped, because i can't wait to t watch it with my husband! So needless to say i am back to SUPER EXCITED! Even though i am petrified of Michael Myers...i CAN NOT wait to go see the Movie!

Coming to an end

2007-08-29T08:01:00.000-07:00

Yup, Summer is coming to an end... Am I ready? sort of.... I am ready for my son to be going back to school... it's one less child roaming the house... one less instigator of trouble! But on the other hand i love the Summer weather, granted maybe not the heat waves we've been getting! Jr could really use some more new clothes for school...mostly pants... but hey most of September is now warm enough that he can wear shorts.... never use to be that way here in New Jersey, buit it has been the last couple years. We stil have a bit of summer reading to catch up on, but he did all the required reading.... ONLY 3 books were required, when they had a whole 3 months off... but over Spring Break when they had 5 days off, 5 books were required.... is this ridiculous to anyone else?? So far he has read 6... and he is sitting outside as i type reading to his brother and sister as the draw.... He also needs to get back to school to work on his speech! His teacher is gonna hate me, we really didn't work on it much at all this summer. For the most part he is ready to go back.

My First Round Cloth

2007-06-20T09:11:00.001-07:00

Well I never seem to finish Square cloths, so i started this "round" cloth...needless to say i haven't touched it in about a week! But I WILL finish it! Maybe since it's raining today, I will work on it while watching Movies with the kids!

Another soap sack!!

Here is another completed Soap Sack.... it's being modeled with a cell phone in it! I was to lazy to go get a ba of soap to put in it!

And this is just a close up to show off the stitch pattern i used, and the colors in the yarn! This one is going to Sam, she is a pink freak.... I am now working on one i n a varigated blue cotton yarn..... but i'm not sure i like it, so i may go look up different stiches, to plan it out myself!

2007-05-08T08:30:00.000-07:00

I know this picture isn't too great, but this is the first pair of earring I made. No clue who to give them to as of yet, but i'm sure they will find a nice home soon! I just started making jewelry...so far just 4 bracelets, and 5 pairs of earrings.... I started another pair, but just HATE them.... I am in the process of saving mym oney to buy a small power tool set to polish and drill my own beads from stones and shells my family and i have collected from the beach... wow the colors of some of the stones found on the shore line are GORGEOUS! OK, enough rambling for my first Blog..... Hope to be able to get more pictures up soon!
