Seriously, my life has been turned completely upside down!! Well maybe not completely, but enough for me. Help me please, I moved to a new city, have no job, got a puppy! Geez what now? It's really hard to make friends when you are old and move away. I think I am a pretty nice person, I thought I had a good personality and a lot going for me. I love fashion and cooking!  Time to pull myself up and find a job! I like blogging if I can get going, I have so much to say about my life. I like to review products, when i find something that i like I will tell everyone about it! My new passion is finding the right mascara for me, I am working on that. Well trying not to be too wordy today.

Me

Dear Me,

Well here we go again trying to be a blogger, lets see if I can really do it this time. 

Just got a new little laptop for the holidays, its so cute lets see if it helps.

My other mom

Why is it that my husband feel the need to remind me things, things that I don't forget. Like are you going to make dinner? Seriously is that a thing I would forget? It's not a "are we eating out?", its a did you remember dinner, trust me I have never forgotten a meal. He used to ask me if I was making the kids lunches, OK that's what I am doing with those brown bags every night, oh yeah I used to make them in the morning when they were younger.He also just told me to gt a pen and paper to write something down, hello I did that last night while you were sleeping on the black chair. (he does travel for work so he can be a little tired) at least he heard me last night talking about when they leave for school, it will be tight getting everyone to school. I don't know if these are things from his childhood but I have been doing these things for a long time now I think I have got it covered!

More lunches

I am not ready for them to leave yet, but I am ready to be done with making lunches. I know its my choice and I choose to make them. But after 12 years I am ready to be done with them, the lunches that is. I know I will be sad next year but right now done! It could also be the end of the year talking. I do know s much as I will miss them, lunches I will not miss you!

Another Sunday Funday?

Why is it that Sundays start like they are going to be a good day?
Its kind of a tease, everyone is getting along, I am making lunches, deciding whats for dinner. Then   you are asking the kids to do things like put away laundry or clean their rooms and BAM the fighting begins! I mean like who do we think we are their Parents!!! My kids have been on spring break and today was the last day so how dare us ask them to do anything, right?
Well of course a big fight erupted, one got sent to his room and the other two all of a sudden couldn't do enough, seriously. We had to take a table and chairs back to my parents house that we borrowed and in the car as nice as the conversation was, it was suck up conversation.
I was so aggravated about it all. I made the other two apologize and accept some of the punishment. There was no reason that B got in so much trouble.
When we got home we made J straighten his room, trust me that is a punishment.
Not sue what she did.
The rest of the evening was quiet, we had a nice dinner and hung out.
Boy Sundays sure will be quiet in the fall.

Brain break

Have you ever just needed a brain break?
This week is spring break for my kids, and I have not stopped.
Between working, Passover, taking the boys shopping, taking her prom dress shopping, Doctors appointments.....my whole body is tired. Today was a little easier Harper and I went and got pedicures. Now I am just playing on my computer, trying to figure out more blog stuff, playing on Facebook, looking at Pinterest. Well I think I am done and need to just stare at the TV for a while or take a nap. I am alone in the house and that doesn't happen often so I guess I can do anything I want. Love ya bye!!

Moving

Not sure how life seems to be changing so much in a short period of time. Well not that short, but it seems it.
My husbands job is in Tampa and he travels for work also. He loves being down there in the warm weather, we live in Baltimore, and he wants to move when the kid leave for college. I don't want to go yet, I have lived here all my life. Well that's not really the problem it would be nice to be there in the warm all year long, I will make other friends and my friends from here will come visit. I just don't want my kids to feel uprooted, its hard enough to leave home and go college but to not have home to come back too. I feel like I could do it if we waited a few years, so I know they are OK. I want them to come home here to Baltimore to see their friends and family. It's a lot to think about, getting three kids ready for college and then having to move, I think its too much for me. Just more time isn't that all we ever ask for?

College

For me, as my mom, my heart breaks when my children are disappointed. I know that disappointment and being told no or you are not good enough are parts of life, but it still hurts to hear at any age.

I am a believer that things happen for reason, try telling that to a child that doesn't get into there DREAM school. They don't realize how many great schools are out there. I always say that schools, or insert anything, are like Baskin Robbins ice cream, they have 31 different flavors, there's something for everyone!

My children are deciding which colleges to go to, they are seniors in high school. It is a tough decision. Its hard enough deciding where to apply, let alone where you wind up going. Some colleges are kind enough to make the decision for you. Some are so expensive you have to tell your child, after they took hours to fill out the application then the anxiety of waiting to hear if they got in that they can't even go. The price of some of these schools is crazy, Who has that kind of money 50,000-60,000 a year. Hello people I have triplets,smart triplets, I have saved money, but clearly not enough. The government says they will help, but not really. There are lots of scholarships out there, but Omg, its like writing a novel or giving up your first born to get one.

One of mine knows where he is going. One down, two to go. I hope whenever they decide they have fun and of course learn something. I will let you know when they have all decided.

Good luck to all the college bound students out there!

Passover

So tonight was the first night of Passover. My mom and I share in the cooking. There is a lot to do for the holiday. I enjoy preparing and cooking for almost anything. Sometimes I am a little unsure of myself, even at 48 years old. So I call my mommy to ask for help and make sure I am doing things right, she must crack up at me.
Mom how many pounds?
Mom do I did it this way?
Mom I ran out of .......can you bring it?
Oops mom I forgot the.....!
No matter what age I am I will always need my mom, she is a good cook and sure does know a lot about cooking.

I also go on Pinterest a lot for my recipes. Lets just say most are good and I will post some for you, but yesterday....EPIC FAIL!!
My family used to be like "mom where is this recipe from?" Now they don't need to ask.
They even go on my pinterest page or search for recipes themselves, they think I can make anything.
I try, I definitely try, I want them to think I can do it all.

Ok so here is the fail and the recipe.

 They did taste good, any suggestions on how to get them to look good would be appreciated!

Athletic Supporter

I have always been there to support my kids no matter what sport they are playing, and over the years that is a lot of sports. Lacrosse girls and boys, cheer leading, Football, Baseball, Field Hockey, and Wrestling. I watch games rain or shine. I watch games and freeze my butt off even when they don't get playing time, because that's what we do for our kids.

Since they have been in High school I even help in the concession stand.This year I think I took it the furthest I could I am the Sports Boosters President for the Boys high school. Did I mention she goes to a different high school? Its hard enough to get around to different schools let alone running a sports boosters and planning a big fundraiser, I am not complaining!

Its been a fun year or years. I figure I should do everything I possibly can this year since, yup, next year I will be bored, as I have been told. That is right "what are you going to do?" seems to be the question I am asked everyday. Well I will let you know after they leave because right now I have too many other things to worry about.
