I've been drinking wayyyyy toooooo many of these! They are good and they do the job but I need to learn to limit myself to 1 a week LOL
Work was just one of those days...was productive but not so with what I needed to do :o)

More snow...Ash might need another snow/ice remover before winter is over. She has been using it more than twice a day lately.

Mr. Spottie goes to the bank :o)

January 16

My mess that is in the corner of the room that needs to be cleared out. I totally lack motivation to move anything.
A HAPPY NOTE: I was told that even my messes are "organized" LOL

January 15

This weekend, Cumberland hosted the Boys Basketball Tournament.
Today was a day of games. First Nick's basketball games. Then the Packers/Falcons football game.
GO PACK GO!

January 14

Ash and I left for work not thinking that our morning would endup with us sitting at Cumberland Tire. Thanks to a rock...Ash's tire was going flat but not enough so that we couldn't make it back down from work to Cumberland. So my picture for the day comes from the 20 minutes we waited while Ash's tire got fixed.

Seeing the kids off to school.
Gotta love mornings like this! :o)

January 12

My pillow.
After catching up with the kids, enjoying dinner, this is what I look forward to after a long day. I have been having plenty of those lately :o)

January 11

My after work "pick-me-up". I don't know which did the trick, I think it was both, but I was up till 10:30 and I did get a few things accomplished. I must have subconsciously realized that I need the Red Bull to keep me awake while the ice cream sandwich did a number on my stomach (lactose intolerant) LOL

DISCLAIMER for the ONE who will call me a "trader" LOL: I don't drink Red Bull, unless I'm mixing it with Jaeger...I am an AMP ENERGY drinking gal (GO DALE JR)

January 10

This is how it looks when I leave work....dark and empty. Last week and this week have been super busy getting deadlines met. I've only been able to catch up with the kids, eat dinner and watch a little tv before I'm ready for bed.

Here is my plate of deliciousness and "the man" Aaron Rogers in the background!
Nothing beats watching football with the family and enjoying game food!
The girls made some super amazing nachos for dinner while we all watched the Packers beat the Eagles!
GO PACK GO!!!

January 8

Today the family spent the day in Luck, WI for Nick's first basketball tournament. The Cumberland 6th Grade Boys Traveling Team did an awesome job for their first tournament. They lost their first game to Luck and won their second game against Amery. Their next tournament is this coming weekend and Cumberland is hosting. GO BEAVERS!

{Game 2 - Cumberland vs Amery}

I'm a few days behind...trying to get caught up AGAIN
January 7th, my Friday off which I enjoyed going to Capelli Salon to get my nails done. (Thank you Shannon for another wonderful job done!) I get acrylic put on over my real nails. I normally keep them short because of all the typing I do at work but I thought, what the heck, grow them out! I did get my hair cut by the greatest stylist in WI, Lacey, but forgot to have Ash take a picture for me. It was a FUN day of beauty/shopping & a delicious lunch spent with Ash.

This is the sideview of Capelli Salon from the parking lot. It was snowing and cold so I took the picture from inside the car.

MONEY! I looked/held at all this for 10 minutes before it went into the bank. That is what I saved up to buy my V.I.P. ticket to the July NKOTBSB concert!!!! I'm SOOOOO EXCITED that my girls and I get to MEET Jonathan, Jordan, Joey, Donnie & Danny!!!

January 6

Today was a Nicholas day. I had to go pick him up from school during my lunch so he could get to his LAST dental appointment for fillings! He has all his cavities filled! Now I hope he keeps it that way :o)
It was another long work day. I wasn't thinking when I got home from work to just stay dressed because we had to pick Nick up from basketball practice and plans for dinner after. NO...I changed into my pajamas and left out the house dressed like that. Thank goodness for my hoodie and coat or my sanity would have been questioned LOL

January 5

7:14pm.....when I finally left work.

January 4

It's back to work and back to school after our 2 week break/vacation. This is my desk "cleaned" up LOL it didn't look like that before the pic.
Colt is trying to get his things together and Chey making her coffee before they have to get out the door and catch the school bus :o)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the TWINS {Zeann & Zane} and Bizh!

January 3

My first crochet project of the year! It currently is still in my purse unfinished. Once I do get it done I will post the pic for my photo of the day LOL I just have to keep in mind that I do need to make 2 of them to complete the set :o)

Wishing my Dad Ron a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today I went to the casino (St. Croix Casino Turtle Lake) to play BINGO. It was a fun afternoon. I did win a game which is always nice. I'm still waiting for the BIG one LOL (aren't we all)
I got a good laugh from the 3 old ladies who were sitting in front of me....the three of them were playing bingo and watching the Packers vs Bears game on their iPad LOL that is the picture I should have taken :o)
It just goes to show that no matter your age, you can keep up with technology and forever love football!
GO PACK GO!

January 1
