My latest outting

Saturday 3/24/2012 a little 3 year old boy went missing in Fulton County Arkansas.
Law enforcement got called in and started searching.Sunday volunteers were called in to help with the search.Tuesday I just couldn't take it anymore so I drove the miles and picked up my mom and we headed for the search camp.When we arrived people was gathered ready to go help with the search.At 3:00pm we sat down with our group and talked.At 4:00pm the foot search was called off.We watched the helicopter land on the island between the water at 3:00pm and sure enough they had found the boy.It was a relief he had been found but of course he wasen't found as everyone would have liked to find him.I had to come to terms with myself that at least he can be laid to rest in the right peaceful resting place.I have thought and prayed for 4 day's straight that this child be found.If you all remember I have a son that just turned 6 years old.My son is 3 inches taller then Caleb (the lost child).It hit so close to home and is very sad.Sad?Yes!Would I do it again?YES!It brought a sense of comfort over me knowing I was there to help and to know he had been found.Even though I was not the one to find him it has still had an impact on my life that I will never forget.You can't imagine the feeling you get just from what you see and hear on such a mission.Summer is approaching so please remember WHEN YOUR NEAR WATER WEAR A LIFE VEST!Guy's & Gals it's the simple things that can save a life.

..........SNOW..........

It's snowing here for the 1st time this year!School was called off before we even had snow on the ground.Me,Tom,Kaden,my sister Chrissy,and her husband Scott all left on Friday night and headed for the city.We hit Target at 11:30pm and I bought the coolest sled ever!Now I may get to use it along with the other 2 new sleds that was bought waaayy back in November lol.The kids are just as excited as me.Unfortunatly our propane tank went dry at bedtime last night so we fell back on our old kerosene heaters but of course they just didn't want to work so hubby ran to wal mart late last night to pick up a new one (it's working wonderfully).I called the propane company at 7:59am and propane is on the way :).I hit another auction yesterday and bought a trailer load of goodies (I hope thats what it is as I have not looked yet).My oldest will be 13 in 11 day's (I' m not looking forward to this).My youngest sister moved to Californiaso unless she moves back I will probably never see her or my nephew again.She is missing home but probably not enough to come back.I have gave away 3 of the 5 puppies so far.Only 2 more to go and I will be puppy free!I'm awaiting my new dish washer as my old one and the kids have quit.Now I better go get busy or I will never get done.Have a wonderful Day!

Hello everyone

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!Ours was very normal (kids played with their toy's all day).I almost made a New Years resolution then changed my mind.I was going to give up soda (dr.pepper) BUT after hearing alot of people lose alot of weight after giving up the pop I changed my mind.I don't have weight to lose (I need to gain some).I officially have 2 online groups (facebook) and they are both doing very well.Hot Shop Bargains is keeping a float and keeping me busy BUT 25 Cent Deals is non stop.People are there 24/7 waiting for me to post something they may need (or not need but want).It's almost tax season again.I think this year we will pay off some bills and give my rig another over haul (it's needs a rear lift lol).My doggy had puppies on the 4th.They are Pikinese and American Bull dog.They are cute but definatly not keepers.I got my little dog at a yard sale (free) and I thought they said she was fixed (I must have heard wrong) but she will be going in before long to get really "fixed".My oldest child will become a teenager next month.I am not looking forward to this at all!I have been doing the nice house cleaning job this morning and it's amazingly going fast.I guess I better get back to that job before I lose my energy.
Have a fantastic day!
