2009 Lincoln County Relay For Life

So here are the final numbers from the 2009 Lincoln County Relay For Life!

Grand Total: $27,523.08
Survivors: 88
Relay Store: right about $1000
Rummage sale: right about $500

I am really thrilled about these numbers! Considering our low teams. I am pretty sure next years Relay will be held Friday August 6th 2010! I would love to have our over all theme to be Sports to encourage more games at the Relay. Please let me know what you all think about this. I have tons of ideas.

Lets hit my goal of 30 teams this coming year. I hope to get out all info out to you as soon as possible.

Have a most wonderful day!

OMG!

I'm 32 years old and when I'm 33 I might be a grandmother. I think I am a horrible parent if I can't instill good morals and priorities.

No follow through with me! lol

I was supposed to be writing a journal on here and I jsut haven't kept up with it. I was supposed to be adding my scrap pages and I just haven't done any. Maybe one day I will get off my butt and do it.

Freedom Writers

Have you watched the movie Freedom Writers? I have, many times, and I LOVE it. I am now reading the book. I Love it too.

It really makes me think that I really should put my feelings, my life, my thoughts all down. Whether it be here or in a journal of my own. I guess should do that. I'll start now...

I am Liz. I am 32 years old. I have a wonderful husband, and a bunch of kids. lol I try to be a good mother and wife. I do the best that I can.

I was born and raised in California. My mom is a wonderful person. She is a single parent. My mom and dad divorced when I was just 6 months old. She worked very hard to support me.

Dad is a "Disneyland Dad". He would take me camping, on trips to Disneyland and Hawaii. He was alot of fun. He got remarried and his new wife had a son. He was my brother. We had a ton of fun together getting into trouble, playing gi joes, and watching cartoons. We used to jump off the two story roof and into the pool then running to the hot tub. We were weird I think. lol We played in pavement while it was still warm, messing it up.

More later...

I'm about ready to give up!

Ok this is just blah blah blah but I am really getting frustrated and gggrrrrr!

So you all know that I am heavily involved with the local Relay For Life right? If not let me know and I will give you the full run down.

I have only gotten $20 in donations for my team. One other team member has done like $250 and my other team member has done $0. That is just not acceptable! Need to figure out how to get those numbers up!

Second I can not get my Team Captains to get on the ball and turn their paper work in so I can get the T-Shirt order in by tomorrow! It has to be in or I won't get the shirts in time. There is a time that has not even registared yet and I can't get ahold of them and I need their info too.

I just don't know what to do! I know part is my fault because I haven't hounded them the way I normally do but come on!

Any who, I'm done for now. Thanks for reading!

Today has been a day! Last night Team Captain meeting went well. Today I have to start the t-shirt order and get it in by tomorrow. It's gonna be fun! Next meeting is on the 22nd. We are down to 28 days till relay!

We had Sammy's Early Head Start home visitor come today. We made paper bag puppets. I can't believe how well he can cut with sissors now! She also did an ELAP. He is around the 36 month marker! He is only 28 months old! His language is up and he can do so many things that he wasn't able to do just a few months ago. I am such a proud mommy! We only have 8 months left of Early Head Start then we transition him to Head Start. We sure are going to miss her!

Yesterday we went to a social for Early Head Start and Sammy had a great time! We played out side and had lunch. Oh Yeah I am now on the Policy Council with them too. I am the secretary and tresurer. Gonna be a fun thing for me to do.

I don't really know what I'm gonna do for the rest of today. I'm not feeling in an up mood and would rather sit here and do nothing. But I have laundry to do and who knows what else.

Have a great day!

Mommysavers is having a mini crop this weekend! I am going to get some pages done!! Gonna do it! I'll post them here as I go.

RIP

My Grandmother passed away yesterday morning. I am very sad and I am going to miss her so much.

Wow! I am still trying to figure this all out! I have added some links for blog candy. You need to check them out!

Someday I will get it all figured out. lol I haven't even figured out how to post pictures yet. I will get there though.

Have a great day!

It snowed!

It was a beautiful weekend and beautiful the first couple of days of the week. Then it started raining yesterday and it snowed most of the day today.

I hope to get my new scrapbooking room set up so I can get some scrappin done! I know I keep saying this. But really I need to get busy!

An online friend of mine is giving away some blog candy! Go check it out! http://finkerdoodles.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-very-first-blog-candy-give-away.html

I hoped that worked.

Anyway, I hope the rest of the week goes well!

I took Joe and Anna to the airport today to go get her car. What a long drive back for me. lol Sammy was a terror in the store. He was fine for awhile but then he just screamed and screamed. I even forgot to give the cashier my DL to make it tax exempt. Wow!

I really need to get motivated to scrap again. It just seems like I don't have time or I feel quilty for leaving Joe with Sammy. I know he doesn't mind but that's just the way I am feeling about it. I am going to get down in the basement and do at least one page. There is a card crop going on this week so hopefully I will get some inspiration from that. Well I will post more later.

Have a great weekend :-)

Hi! This is my first time blogging. Ok so I kinda got it figured out.

It's snowing a little off and on today! I wish the weather would make up it's mind. We just keep getting teased with beautiful weather and then it snows. We have been working on cleaning the garage for the last week. It's looking good. We also hope to get a dump run in today. I have been seperating stuff out to sell at a yard sale. I have noticed that there is not much in that pile lol. Most of the other stuff I just can't figure out where to put it in the house. I don't have much shelving to put my figurines out. I used to put them on a bookshelf but it just got too cluttered. I want Joe to build me shelves that go around the top of the living room walls.

Sammy is growing way to quickly. He has been sick and messing his clothes two or three times a day. I keep running out of clothes to put him in. lol It's the wrong time of year to go out and buy sweats and the like. He has also been talking up a storm! He loves "reading" books. He definatly keeps me on my toes. Most days I can't wait until naptime just to get a break lol.

Shane is getting so big too. Kindergarten is going great for him. He loves counting and spelling. I love it!

Bradley is 14 and has that teenage attitude. Grrr! I am getting really sick of it.

Anna is 18 now and is going to gradute soon! I just can't believe it!

So anyway that's what's been going on around here. I hope to get some scrappin' done soon. I have had just no motivation or drive to do it.
