That means everything has to be scheduled, breakfast, play time, snack, quite time, lunch, etc. The biggest challange is the bed time. When it's summer and it's light until 9-10 o'clock at night it doesn't seem fair to put them to bed at 7-8depending on which one we are talking about so they have been up late. The bad part they don't sleep any later in the morning so they are behind on sleep. I'm sure it will take the week to get them back on track with that but we'll get there.Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-27694360255817195562008-09-01T16:32:00.000-07:002008-09-01T16:35:49.970-07:00How to protectIt is so frustrating trying to keep your kids safe these days there are so many dangers all around them you think your on top of everything but how can you be with the busy lifestyles everyone lives these days it's easy to let your guard down. There are now web-sites that can assist you with knowledge at least so you can track <a href="http://www.ohiosexoffenders.net">Ohio Sex Offenders</a> to know if there are any offenders living in your neigborhood. Wouldn't you like to know if that new neighbor has had issues in the past? You need to take every precaution available and use any source of information to help keep our kids safer.Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-64876953791673717122008-09-01T16:30:00.000-07:002008-09-01T16:32:29.541-07:00Bad PuppyOK, so most of you have heard about my puppy, but the chewing is terrible, today she chewed through 2 leashes. Luckily we just bought a new one but we have started tying her at the front door so she can go in and out as she needs but she chewed her way loose today, luckily she didn't take off and just wandered in the house and up the stairs. We will have to get a chain or cable that will stand up to her razors.Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-83665567954951491832008-09-01T16:05:00.000-07:002008-09-01T16:16:47.577-07:00VIDEO AUCTIONS SELL YOUR STUFF FASTThe internet has opened up the way we do everything in our daily lives, we spend so much time now researching and buying items on line now compared to 5 years ago and think 10 years ago the thought of purchasing things on-line was something crazy. The newspaper classifieds was the option of choice for people trying to sell things. You would scan the classifieds daily for everything from tools, to bikes, to automobiles and houses. With online buy and sell sites gaining popularity there are new features available on sites like listasaurus that actually allow you to ad video to your selling ad. Think about it if you are trying to sell a home what better way then to do a virtual tour of the house and post it online. Selling your car, don't need just a picture take a tour through the whole vehical all four sides and even the trunk, if you had time to clean it out. LOL. Although the <a href="http://www.listasaurus.com">video auctions</a> are fairly new they can certainly add detail to your ad and help you sell quickly. I'm sure in the near future you will see <a href="http://www.listasaurus.com">video classifieds</a> at every avenue possible as the transfer of information becomes easier and easier with the access to internet and digital imaging. As if selling your items wasn't a good enough reason to list them on this video auction web-site you actually get paid to list auction items and classified ads. <br /><br /><img src="http://tinyurl.com/6f6qqf" /><br /><br /><img src="http://tinyurl.com/5ggyzm" />Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-71959620576784587202008-09-01T16:03:00.000-07:002008-09-01T16:05:19.713-07:00The end of summerWell I decided today that it was the end of summer the kids are going back to school this week and it has been rainy and crappy for days so we emptied the pool today. The kids had one last, although freezing dip in the pool as it emptied, took a few hours. They really enjoyed it the first half of summer but the weather hasn't co-operated over the last month.

In the search for <a href="http://www.courtrecordssearch.net/oklahoma-court-records">Oklahoma Court Records</a> you can access any number of records, from arrest records, divorce records, criminal background checks and many more.

It had been covered by a vertical blind since we moved in and it was tacky. We had to get a door and cut it down because the entry way is a little shorter than a normal door would be, Alice in Wonderland....LOL.

One of my favorite is a scallop wrapped with bacon and seasoned with my secret recipe of spice, alright it's a bottle of blended spices "Mrs. Dash" that I buy from the store. I usually serve with a bed of rice with a stir fry of veggies, peppers, mushrooms etc. In Louisana there is a celebration of seafood with the great american seafood <a href="http://www.greatamericanseafoodcookoff.com/">Cook off</a>, this cook off brings together great chefs with fantastic recipes in a celebration of seafood. To make it interesting the chefs have to add a special ingredient from one of the sponsors to their recipe. I think once I perfect my dish it could certainly compete with the champions at the cook off. The cook off is an exciting event every year now in it's fifth year because it brings so many interesting recipes together with fantastic chef's in a fun environment to promote the sustainability of domestic seafood as there has been much discussion of the viability of sustaining the east coast fisheries. It also give a chance to promote local fish, and chefs in a fun enviromnet close to the participants. Congratulations to Mississippi’s Chef John Currence who was crowned the "King of Seafood" at the 2008 cook off event. Take the time to visit the web-site www.greatamericanseafoodcookoff.com for more information on the chef's that are competing and their recipe's, there is also a chance for you to vote for your favorite recipe and with your vote you will be entered for a chance to win a trip for two to New Orleans including Airfare, hotel accomadations, of course great dining experiences and more.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://tinyurl.com/6m2j58" />Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-56421521359255633792008-08-31T03:10:00.000-07:002008-08-31T03:12:42.625-07:00Holiday WeekendWell it's the last long weekend of the summer, what will you be doing?

I started with dieting to lose some weight and after about a year I had lost a far amount of weight and was begining to shop for less cover up (baggy) clothing. We moved to a new town and with the move I lost a little focus with getting the kids settled back into routine but after Christmas this year we bought a treadmill and the results I got from this were great. I began to firm up and feel better about where I was physically, now I still pick on myself, I think it's just a girl thing. The icing I think was this summer when I actually purchased a bikini and hubby was positive when I showed him the suit, and yes I even tried it on in the store and showed him. Now the next stage for me would be to find some <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=19073&url=http%3A%2F%2Fboudiche.com" rel="nofollow">Lingerie</a> that I can feel comfortable in, the past few years it has been difficult to feel sexy especially when you are on guard 24/7 with the kids, me especially bad I think I sleep with 1 eye and ear open waiting for something to happen. I went out shopping with my mom the other night for bra's and undies but didn't come home with any new <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=19073&url=http%3A%2F%2Fboudiche.com" rel="nofollow">Designer Lingerie</a> or anything to surprise hubby. He told me to get something "sexy" when I was heading out the door but I just didn't see anything that worked for me. I began shopping on-line and found many styles of lingerie I think might work for me the <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=19073&url=http%3A%2F%2Fboudiche.com%2Fsection.php%2F535%2F1%2Ffayreform" rel="nofollow">Fayreform Lingerie</a> is very beautiful and I love the colors that are available. There are also styles of <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=19073&url=http%3A%2F%2Fboudiche.com%2Fsection.php%2F547%2F1%2Ffreya" rel="nofollow">Freya Lingerie</a> that I think are very pretty, hopefully I can bring myself to jump over the final hurdle and get over my insecurities to try some of these out.<br /><br /><br /><a id="disclosure_bar_1246" onmouseover="ad_closed=false;itk_disclosure_badge.show(1246, 'ss', 19073);" onmouseout="itk_disclosure_badge.hide();ad_closed=" href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=19073&url=http%3A%2F%2Fboudiche.com" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Sponsored by Lingerie @ Boudiche.com" src="http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=19073&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F15418%2Forange_disclosure_badge.jpg" /></a>Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-88766057492121006632008-08-30T03:46:00.000-07:002008-08-30T03:50:12.745-07:00Doggy TroublesI have been trying hard to give our puppy a little bit more freedom but she just makes bad choice after bad choice. She was having trouble with training so we set up a leash so she would stay around the front entrance of the house and be able to go out and in as she pleased. This worked ok for a few days but the last few days she has been sneaking into my bedroom (only room with carpet in the house) which is beside the front door and doing her business on my carpet. In the morning she likes to come up in the bed and hang out with us but this morning she decided to chew a whole in my comforter....she's pushing her luck....I'm not sure what to do with here.Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-328775251185749402008-08-29T18:58:00.000-07:002008-08-29T19:22:05.317-07:00Great Contest GiveawayIf you remember I am looking for a new lap top for Christmas, now I'm not wanting to get ahead of myself but I am actively searching for any opportunities that can get me a new laptop so when I found the <a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/post?slot_id=18994&url=http%3A%2F%2Fconnect.charter.com%2Flaptopaday%2F%3FID%3D197%26OriginatingID%3D420136" rel="nofollow">Charter Laptop-a-Day Giveaway</a> contest that is now on I had to look into it further.

I am sitting here right now listening to one heck of a rain storm come down. Now my puppy doesn't like it much as she doesn't like to go outside in the rain and needs to be dragged out and put under the tree so she won't get wet the big baby.Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-74348115887665771202008-08-28T17:01:00.000-07:002008-08-28T17:10:04.305-07:00Finding your Beauty CareerIn today's world the job market is becoming very competitive both from the perspective of recruiting and retaining good associates and from an employee point of view there are lots of opportunities you just need to know where to look.

She wants a Hanna Montana room so out with Hilary and in with Hannah, this won't be too bad as the colors already match up we will just have to buy some new accessories. I found a pillow and throw at hubby's work and have them put away until we are ready to make the switch. She will be excited when I get into the project and get it done.Carrie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148022965950492593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277173713845900832.post-30307840089044707642008-08-28T12:30:00.000-07:002008-08-28T12:35:15.063-07:00Computer BugsTrying to keep your computer running well at home can be difficult if you are like me and some what challanged on the technical aspects of the computer.
