My hubby turns 40!

Tomorrow, my husband turn 40!  And on the 25th of June, we will have been married for 19 years!  I find that the later is a huge accomplishment in today's day in age, as many people I know have been divorced and remarried and divorced again.  We have a big weekend planned and I hope everyone has a good time.  We have several friends coming in from out of town that we haven't seen in years!

About me

I am a animal lover and a mother.  I work full time, go to online school full time, and have little time for myself.  My children and husband are very supportive in all adventures that we, as a family, embark on. 
At times, the road through life is very hilly.  Yesterday, my husband and I  was in a car accident in our BRAND NEW car that took us 20 years to finally be able to purchase.  Luckily, no one was hurt, although I am a little sore today.  We were rear ended at a stop sign.  I already miss our car....

Never blogged before...

There is a first time for everything.  I have read blogs, cited blogs, and watched people write blogs.  I have even made a couple of blogs for school, but I have never kept up with a blog.  I can't say it will last, but it seems fun to play with.

Paw prints and finger smudges...too never ending items in my life.  I mop, within minutes paw prints are back...I wipe down the counters...finger smudges reappear. Thus the name of the blog.
