Five on Friday

One day I'll be able to write real blog posts instead of just bullet points.  Sadly, today is not that day, so here's a little Five on Friday!

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

{one} After 2 1/2 weeks of being sick, I finally went to the doctor yesterday as I had woken up with some severe sinus pain.  My cold had turned to a sinus infection, but at least I can finally take some meds to help kick this.  Which is good because poor Skip has succumbed to it now and is currently trying to sleep it off upstairs.  Better this week than next I guess?

{two} It has been *freezing* here this week....actually below freezing.  I'm so not ready for a real feel of 10* in November.  Fleece leggings {from Family Dollar!} for the win.

{three} My Charlie is the sweetest, squishiest love ever. 

However she also knows how to push the boundaries more than I ever imagined.  I don't think it's fair to talk about my kids' behavior on here much, but let's just say I am just about at my wit's end recently.  I took her monkey away for a few hours yesterday...monkey is her absolute favorite toy in the whole world since she was a baby.  It was really hard on her {and me!} but I'm hoping it will help correct her behavior.  If not I'm going to need a lot more diet coke and candy to survive.

{four} We are all awaiting the news from Ferguson Missouri.  I will probably have lots to say once the decision is in, but for now I will say that I am a proud cop wife who proudly stands with our police.


{five} I am ridiculously excited for next week...Frozen on Ice..Thanksgiving..football...Emmy's birthday...I can't wait!  But the absolute best part?  Skip is off from Thursday-Sunday....like everyone else in the country!!  This never happens!  I seriously can't even remember the last time he was off on Thanksgiving, let alone for the whole holiday weekend.  I'm going to soak up every second. 

Have a great weekend everyone!!

    I feel the same way! I've done A LOT of bullet points lately lol
    I can't imagine living close to or in that area right now! It's infuriating! Sticking by the cops as well!

    I hope you're feeling better!
    I completely understand about Charlie. Lily can be the sweetest, funniest kid, then make me want to slam my head into a wall. She is driving me nuts! Dylan and Lexie were easy to parent, but she tests her boundaries!

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
