We had a awesome time last night.. We spent New Year's Eve with our best friends (the goober in the picture is one of them).. Tons of food and tons of booze (only 2 of us really had booze, but we drank enough for all 4 of us).. Z made fajitas, pot stickers, steaks, and shrimp.. T made some awesome jalapeno poppers dip and buffalo chicken dip that was to die for, Clay mixed drinks and I pretty

We have a busy day ahead of us.. We decided last night to move Skie's bed and dresser downstairs again.. She doesn't sleep well upstairs because of the weird noises, scratching, and the weird things that happen in the hoodoo room when no one is in there.. We are going to let her keep the big room upstairs as a 'chill room', so she will leave her TV, video games and stuff up there and probably

Happy Monday!I finished my blanket.. It's just a lap blanket, but I finished it before I got sick of using the yarn, so yay me! Skie gave me some blue yarn for Christmas and it's DJ's favorite color, so I think I will start on a blanket for her.. We should hear something this week about her going home to her dad.. I'm hoping it's early in the week..It's been relatively quiet around here.. Skie is

Ok, Steelers are are still in the running for a spot in the playoffs.. So are the Ravens.. This is a must win game for both teams.. The Steeleres usually beat the Ravens, they didn't last time, but it had to go into overtime and the Raven's got a field goal.. But still, the Steelers almost beat them, and they were playing without Polamalu, Kemoeatu, Parker, and Roethlisberger.. Polamalu is still

It's the day after Christmas.. The house is quiet at the moment, Skie and Trev are still sleeping.. They both stayed up pretty late playing Wii, so Clay is letting Trev sleep in instead of making him get up and shovel snow.. What a guy huh? He's outside now shoveling the sidewalk and the driveway.. Trevor's car is snowed in, so Clay will probably spend a few hours digging it out..All in all, it

We had a great Christmas Eve.. We played games with Skie for most of the day then Skie made gorilla bread and hot chocolate and we watched The Polar Express before bed.. It was so much better than last year.. We did the same thing last year, but this year Clay is home! Skie is a lucky girl.. She is the only child I know who can go right to sleep on Christmas eve, and not wake up until her

It looks like we are in for a white-er Christmas.. It's snowing again.. But that's ok, we have no reason to leave the house.. We have everything we need and Clay is home :) I let Skie put all the presents under the tree this morning, so now she can torture herself by looking at them all day..We got some good news on the Dani-Jo case yesterday.. CPS has agreed to drop the case, so it's all up to

We are almost finished with the holiday baking.. We have macaroons, frosted sugar cookies, rum balls, Skieler's famous peanut butter fudge, chocolate fudge, Christmas brownies, chocolate chip cookies, orange cranberry chex mix, and we have a rum cake in the oven!Dang.. I'm tired..

~Pure gratitude is a state of giving.. When you are in a state of heartfelt gratitude you are radiating a powerful electromagnetic field around you.. The radiations from you are so pure and powerful that they touch all those you come in contact with.. The effect on others who receive what you are radiating would be impossible to trace - the ripple effect from one person to another never ends..

He's home! He even got an an earlier flight and got home almost 5 hours ahead of schedule.. So we had plenty of time to get a tree and decorate it last night.. We are going out today to do a little last minute shopping, Clay and Skie are going to get gifts for me (maybe I can spy when they aren't looking) and I have to get another gift for Clay.. I got him a Hines Ward Jersey, but I let him open

I slept far too long and now I can't wake up properly.. I fell asleep at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, woke up at 9:00 pm, went back to sleep at 11:00 pm and woke up at 8:00 this morning.. I have showered, put my make up on and guzzled a Redbull and I still feel groggy and my head hurts.. We got some seriously disappointing news yesterday about the Dani-Jo situation and I have been so angry about

I sent an e-mail to my friend Z this morning, the email had only 2 words: "Why me?"So much crap has happened this last month, so many frustrations, set backs, accusations, heartache, lies, unanswered questions, and bullshit..Here is Z's reply:"Sometimes we are given tasks to test our metal to the gods. Sometimes we are rewarded for our tasks with awesome people to love. Wars of old, sword in

Sometimes it seems for every step the 'Tracy Team' manages to take forward, we get pushed 2 steps back.. Yesterday afternoon Skie brought me something (I can't say what it is) but I can tell ya that it's big, and it's in our favor.. Then yesterday evening Steve calls to tell me that both his therapist and Dani's therapist (that the judge ordered them to see) have recommended that Dani be

Ok.. I am going to list 100 things I am grateful for.. I challenge you to list 10.. Just 10 things you are grateful for.. It's not really that hard..You don't have to blog it (although Adam, you are always saying you have nothing to blog about, now you do) you can write it in a journal, on your grocery list, your MySpace, your bathroom wall, whatever.. Just give it a shot.. Who knows, you might

What the heck is going on with people this year??I have never seen so many bitchy, crabby, unhappy people.. Jeezass people, it's Christmas! This morning on facebook, Cafemom posted a question.. "Are you happy?" 16 people have answered so far.. 9 of them have answered 'No'.. Seriously? More than half? And they all gave their reasons.. *I'm not happy because I thought I would be married by now,

I have to leave to take Skie to school in 15 minutes.. I started the truck 5 minutes ago, hopefully 20 minutes is long enough for the windshield to actually defrost.. If not, I guess I will drive with ice on the windshield, I can't let Skie stay home another day..I have to get my butt to the post office today and send Suzanne's girls their Christmas presents, and I still have a bunch of laundry

The weather said there would be slight flurries this morning.. Yeah? Well with 30 mph winds, those snow flurries suck! The defrost on Clay's truck isn't so great so every time I scraped the ice off the windshield, it would freeze again.. I couldn't see to get Skie to school so she gets her own personal snow day.. The snow has stopped though, so hopefully it will warm up some and I can take

I got the truck stuck in the driveway last night.. I didn't have a problem getting out of the driveway even though the street had recently been plowed.. Just put the truck in 4wd and drove out.. It was dark when I got home and I hadn't noticed that they had plowed again.. I knew I had to speed up a little to get into the driveway, but not knowing that the snow was backed up in front of the

They lost.. To the Browns.. OMFG! 13-6.. How pathetic is that?? Not even one touchdown!! It has been years since they suffered a loss to the Browns.. Years!! Up until last night, the Browns have lost every game this season.. The one game they win just happens to be against the Steelers??Steelers have kissed their last chance at the playoffs goodbye.. They have more losses than wins now.

The Steelers play the Browns tonight.. NFL's absolute worst team.. Normally I would say "no problem, Steelers have this, easy.." But now, I'm not too sure.. They manages to let the Bears beat them, the Chiefs, and then to make it even worse, the Raiders.. The f*ck*ng Raiders!! On their OWN field!! Tonight, to make matters worse, they won't be on their own field, Polamalu is out and so is
