Thanks Val, I think I got It right this time.. and it is smelling soooooooooo GOOD.....

Ok let me start from the beginning When i was a child my grandma made the best clam chowder this side or anyside of california.....she used clams and celery stalk, the leaves from celery an onion ,potatoes and i thought condensed milk.. but thinking back on it she used evaporated milk...and told me to make sure it was not condensed..damn! to my shock and horror they only make sweetend condensed milk, which is what she did not use, you see when i used to make my clam chowder i would call my grandma a millions times asking her this or that..... wel as i am making my clam chowder my base is good.... really good , then i start pouring in the milk.. and let me tell you do not use sweet condensed milk it ruined my whole pot.. it was the worst, so i e-mailed val....and she sent me this recipe....which i now have cooking...thank god she did not send me her no. because i would of been calling her asking the paticular questions....but its all good and val you rock , my house smells good.....

So yesterday as we know was fri. the 13th.. ughhhhhhh, and it was a bad day.. first off i was walking threw the house and twisted my ankle ...damn it hurt then i go lay down getting off my foot and knock over a whole can of soda, which went int my puse, and to top all that off, when i was walking out the door, smash my finger..... grrrrrrrrrrrrr...we were suppose to have clam chowder but you all now what happened to that......so Dave took me out to a reatarant called gino's and it was the best.......

well today just sitting here doing nothing , hope everyone else is having a good weekend!

Dave is out of town and our

taxes are almost taken care of .. thank you crystal for all your help , and mom for your ear and shoulders.....

Dave did go to the bay area for a couple days but he had to clear the bay area union and they would not clear him so home he came, and that was Fri.. so he made it into town.. Fri night just in time to go pick up the girls, and I can stay in town to go get a decent blouse for his Christmas party on sat.....which i did then he meets me we get some dinner and off to the show to see Christmas Carrol , the new one with Jim Carey.. it was really good, mind you my husband is exhausted, he has been up since 5 driven 8 hours, and has not rested till we hit the movie theater.. so we are watching the movie in a packed theater, and i suddenly hear the sound of some one snoring LOUDLY........yep I look over and there is my husband head back, mouth open, just snoring at the top of his lungs....Dave..Dave...wake up....DAVE WAKE UP...today he asks me how the movie was.....

The Christmas party as always was fun...he works for a good company, and they treat there guys good....so ot was nice......

Tonight was also good, since dave is out of town and my son is staying the night at his friends house, I bought the movie up, and yes it is a cute kids movie..we had ourselfs a girls night, I just love these great moments and memories ......with my kids! There is nothing like a good family...and values....

One last thing..the girls got there report cards....lynzie got all A's and the girls got all S's that's what they give 3rd grade grading...still waiting on my sons..

yea it worked i did it i uploaded a picture with no problems

Chores and kids...CHECK

And i'm gonna kick my sons butt CHECK. as soon as dave leaves town he seems to think that well he can do and say what he wants.. well that is not working well for me and now not for him...cell phone.. no more check...stereo.. no more...check...x-box 360.. put away deep in the pits of his new hell....check....he will now never ever say these words to me ever when i tell him he needs to or has not done anything...and i quote" I just want to be like Lynzie"... What in the heck is wrong with these friggin kids today and thinking they don't have to do chores and when they do thinking we have to re-finace our house to pay them...not in my world.. now or ever.....i remeber when i was a kid I got 25 cents.. and was happy...now a days kids think they need twenty bucks aweek...sorry kids , not happening.. even if there was no recession..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Talking about being mad, i believe i never ever have been this mad at my son.......

Anyways yes dave did leave for the bay area..he is in oakland..and yes today is also his birthday which is really sad..i can say i do really miss him and he has only been gone one day..and I am used to him being out of town.. This time it is diffrent I don't no...diffrent...

Anyways I just wanna tell you bout my dog as this is the most exciting thing in my life as of lately....Well we have a dog and her name is Molly she is ichelles dog, we got her after her dog pork chop hung himsel...anyways the other night we all go to bed and I take a sleeping pill have for years.. and when i do go to sleep am that way dead to the world....well I guess after my coma sleep has set in, dave said the dachshunds.. (*my baby bella and alexs's dog sassy would not stop barking then he hears Molly just howling and really crying.. welll he runs out side..Dressed only in what god has givin him and molly has jumped the fence , but her leg has got caught in the fence ornament...he finnally gets her back paw undone and tells me a couple hours later, when i finally wake from my coma state that molly has a broken paw.......mind you this dog can jump and clear a eight foot fence..Damn another bill ..so when i go out to take the kids i check her paw and it looks just fine...and now dave and i are both confident that this little accident has cured her from jumping fences and bye the grace of god her paw is fine....WELL Her paw is fine but i'll be damned she has not learned her lesson and that dang dog is still jumpimg fences....ugh insert pictures...of fence...

Whoever said owning a house is

The best thing in the world, LIED, I have had more streess since i bought this house than i think i ever had wondering were the heck i was gonna get my rent from... if a damn water pipe broke the fix is just a phone call away to the beloved or not sometimes landlord( i mostly had good ones).. and NO taxes...so this is what my post is about !!!TAXES... and they suck.. i never relized it till I got my first tax bill... they more than double and i have only been in this damn house..ok i do love my house since july....the tax asseser people seem to think my house value has like doubled....I don't see how...we fix broken pipes..we have a boat load of tree's that are dead and when the dreaded wind blows they fall(hence tons of fire wood) for the fire place , wood burning stove as our heater does not work....so if this is how our house value has doubled than i'll be damned...lets cut those oout buildings down.. and let the weeds overide the horse arena i'll never us.....and then lets see if my taxes drop!! with my luck they ed raise the damn things again.....


o.k. anyways dave has been working , oh thank god, because since this little tax hike my mortage went up....oh yea the tax subject was closed...grrrrr..anyways he will be going up to the bay area,maybe wed. happy birthday honey..it sucks but work is what it is....on the upside.. he is gona try and get ahold of his cousin and aunt...and maybe get to see them..he has not been able to see them in a couple of years....

so how was everyones halloween? mine pretty good, my sister came over and picked up our whole family we went to itown and i had a really nice time, hardly any houses were giving out stuff, but the night was great no mishaps..and the kids had a ball!!!

well yesterday i wake up, and gave my twins there ninth birthday presents hugs and kisses and a couple of tears, my babies are growing up FAST!and they curl there hair with no help from mommie, because they can...sniffle....and then the phone rings , it says out of town...I do not answer out of town calls...but i hear this voice....oh oh its smocha..wheres the phone ....find the phone, and i finnally do...YEA....it was so perfect.......sometimes you just need that one call to lift up your sprits....and as i'm talkin to her i hear her babies, cavuto, o'reilly and of course stiffy (MONKEY)and as we are talking she is tellin me about the cat walks and how people just shun her.. I think there not shuning her, they are so shock to see a cat in a baby stroller,..... there not sure if they should laugh or look down......and of course they turn there heads... now if it was me i would stare and mumble how cute it is!!!of course walk up and start talking!!!!anyways as the conversation moves on , i hear the cat shriek from hell , we are talking loud cat shriek....and ask what the hell....she calmly tells me cavuto has walk in front of monkey...just strolled bye........and her bitchy self goes into over drive.....
