What a Weekend!!

So this weekend was pretty jammed packed! We started out Friday night going to one of my husbands favorite pizza places, Palermos in NJ. I mean this man could eat a whole tomato pie by himself. Along for the ride was my brother in-law, mother in-law & father in-law. We completely housed wings, potato skins & chicken fingers just for starters. Then we moved onto a plain pizza with half sausage, a white pizza and a tomato pie without garlic. It was so tasty!!  P was really cranky and well overdue to sleep, but made it through by eating 2 slices all by himself along with numerous other things. The following morning we headed out to IHOP for some all you can eat pancakes. Who doesn't love all you can eat pancakes? So after we stuffed ourselves to the max with all that nice heavy food, we had to do some overdue running around! We headed to Bj's, Babies R Us, Walmart and a few other places for the benefit coming up. Speaking of benefit, I attended one for a dear friend of ours dad. He passed away right before Christmas. While we were there I put in to win either an Ipad or Ipod. Well I WON AN IPOD TOUCH!!! This is the first time I have ever really won anything and boy was I happier than a pig in you know what!! Now I just have to figure out how to use it! My sister is the Apple savy one so I will have to rely on my dad to show me the ropes!! AHH my sister, she is doing very well in Italy, you should really check out her blog its in my blog roll. She is a very talented writer. Sunday was a day of catch up on sleep. J had a really good night at the benefit so needless to say the morning was not so great for him. But I got my motivation and baked almost 100 mini muffins and brownie bites for my GM at my second job that was leaving. He is an awesome manager and will be missed once they bring a completely new hired weenie into our already very nicely established family! We really don't like change so this will be an interesting transition for us. So as I write today I am getting ready for a very long day at work. I have to work month end tonight which means my day won't end till about 9pm est. Which means both boys if not all three might be well asleep once I get home. So here is to a Happy Monday for all!

Here I go...

So here I am out in the blog world. I have been wanting trying to start this up after reading some really good blogs over the course of the last few months. My family life will be getting busier in the next month once baseball practice starts. Plus my sister and her husband decided to move to Italy this month, so this will be a nice way for her to see what were up to. You see, my hubby J is an avid coach. He played all growing up and is one of a kind. He has had the same kids since they were 5. He not only coaches an in-house team, but also a travel team and district team. Lucky me!!  My oldest son C is going to be 10. He is all boy, and starting to get mouthy and telling me how hard his life is. J has helped me raise him since he was 15 months old. A pretty big job beings that J was only a fresh 20 when we met! My younger son P was a long time coming. We had tried for about 4 years to have another child. Finally he was here. P is a smart little cookie that doesn't stop from the minute he wakes up till its bedtime. I was very worried about the age gap (8 yrs) would be a big problem, but to my surprise C is a great big brother! Not that there hasn't been some trial and error. We also have 2 dogs. Both are pitty mixes and I don't care what people say about them, raise them right and they will love you unconditionally for life!! Oh and before I forget I will also be blogging about the progress my father-in-law is making at home after experiencing a massive brain aneurysm back in November. There will be an occasional rant on here about a benefit we are having at the end of February for him and all the stress that comes with taking that task on! Other than that I hope everyone enjoys the reading of my blog!
