Shelly's Blog

I am in dire need of something to boost my memory.   Really, it's in just one specific area.  I can't seem to remember where I've kept some of my OLD pictures online.   I use Shutterfly, but this was before I used Shutterfly.  I keep thinking it must be Picasa, but my pictures aren't there.   I KNOW I have pictures floating around there in cyberspace that I can't seem to put my finger on.  So I'm going to search a while longer.  There's no telling what I've got saved out there.  Guess I'll just have to do a bit more searching.   Stay tuned!!

I woke up Saturday feeling a little "blah" but I was scheduled for a facial, and Hell or high water, I was getting my facial.  My skin thanked me.  It was the least I could do.  I made it home and was sick sick sick .  I haven't had a barfing sickness in a long time......luckily I only get it once ever 5+ years or so.  So, for the rest of Saturday, I stayed in bed and fought the nausea and dizziness.  Not so much nauseous today, but still fighting the dizziness and headache.  Ugh! Jess went to watch JV play Water Polo in the afternoon and then called to say they had decided to go to the dance at school.  She said it was pretty lame and so they went into the parking lot and played music and danced in the rain.  Needless to say, she got really wet. Since I was sick sick sick , Glenn decided to take Alyssa out to dinner so that they wouldn't make me nauseous with the smell of their food cooking.   Today, I have relinquished my car to Jessica and she has been at St.

I'm making NO promises.  Okay, I said it.  No promises of keeping up with this blog.  (Maybe that might give me a kick in the butt to keep it up to date)  Or not.  Time will tell.  Right? Anyway, we're into the 3rd month of 2014 and not a whole lot has happened.   We celebrated New Years Eve at our house and invited the usual suspects.  We celebrated my birthday as well as Lauren's birthday at Joni's house.  We celebrated my birthday again, as well as Mom's and Roxanne's birthdays last weekend.  It was birthday week for me! We've had an awful lot of cold weather this year, too.  The kids have had 2 "Extreme Cold Weather" days off from school.  Alyssa actually made an "Ice" man.  We ended up with sleet mixed with snow so no snowman.  I heard the song,  "Do you want to build a Snowman?", from the movie Frozen , so many times during those days that I got it stuck in my head and I was singing it too.  Too much togetherness, I

Looks like I might have gotten a little side tracked over the past year.  No posts.  No pictures.  Nothing.  Nada.  I seem to be having a hard time keeping up with blogging lately.  Oh, who am I kidding.  I can't even keep up with my laundry. Okay......Let me see if I can recap the last year.  And that's only if my memory will start working. *Deep Breath*   Wish me luck! Let's see, I left off around January of 2013.  Jess is a Junior in High School and Alyssa is in 8th grade in Junior High School.  We are excited that she will be in High School next year and Jess will be a Senior!   When I started this blog, Jess was in 4th grade and Alyssa was in 1st grade. In 2013, We had birthday celebrations, a Mother's Day celebration, Father's Day, but no vacation.   We had first days of school, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Jessica got her license.  We went to the zoo.  I won tickets to a Texan game.  The AC went out and had to buy a new one.   Someone h
