So as I have told you before, my children are now playing soccer for the city of Tamarac. There first game was this past Saturday. They all looked so cute with there uniforms. My daughter wasn't playing since she was in New York, so her Coach told her in there last practice that they would win for her! She was all happy! All the parents were excited and wondered how they would hold up. Most of the kids were playing for the first time. I have to say they did a great job!! I have some pictures to share with you on there first game. Oh yeah BTW they won! 3 to 1. GO TEAM MEXICO!! Can you tell I am a proud MOMMA!! 12/16/2008

I read a blog today posted by Linda Scanlan about posting your first 5 subscribers. The idea came orginally from Elizabeth Neives. That got me to thinking? Hmmmm? Who were my first 5? I never even stopped to check. So now I do. And here they are!!

Now I read this letter and thought how great is that. A letter that is from Mom and what moms need and want! I know that Christmas is usually for the kiddos and I also put mine first. But this letter is strictly for moms. So to all the Moms here on the Rain, this is for us!! Dear Santa, I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children On demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor and sold Sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on The schoolplayground. I was hoping you could spread my list out over Several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red Crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and Who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years.  Here are my Christ... 12/09/2008

OK I got tagged a second time by my dear friend Midori Miller! I have said before its hard for me to want. But the other day I saw a commerical and really like the piece of jewlery that they were advertising. So it got me wanting something like this. So here is my Christmas MEME!     The Christmas MeMe Rules: You have to name one gift you would like to have on Christmas. It has to be an object. We all want happiness for Christmas. If you could pick one single gift out for yourself-what would it be? Remember-it has to be something you can touch and hold....   Now usually we would have to tag 5 more people. But since I already tag 5 in a previous post I won't tag another 5. So everyone is safe at least for now. I can't speak for the 5 that I already tagged. Happy Holidays!!! 12/09/2008

OK I was tagged by Dinah Lee Griffery for a Christmas Meme. I need to say what I want for Christmas. My problem is that I am not a person who wants. I would go a get it, but even then I don't. My Christmas tree is full of Precious Moments ornaments. I collect one every year. Ever since I got married. Last year I didn't get the chance to pick it up. Now I am missing a year. So if I could get the chance I would try to grab this. This is the only thing I would want!   The Christmas MeMe Rules: You have to name one gift you would like to have on Christmas. It has to be an object. We all want happiness for Christmas. If you could pick one single gift out for yourself-what would it be? Remember-it has to be something you can touch and hold.... Once you have done this, name five people or more... 12/09/2008

So last week I posted about the disagreement between my husband and I about Christmas trees. He wanted a fake one and I a real one. Well guess who wone. Anyways as many of you asked, you wanted to see the final product of the tree and as promised I have a picture and a video of the lighting of our tree.     After you have after I would love to see pictures of your tree. Don't be shy! Happy Holidays! 12/07/2008

Its like a New set of Eyes! So yesterday my husband was schedued for Lasik Surgery. He has been wanting this for so long. We set up a consulation visit last months and did all the pre op appoints that were needed. We had to go see his regular eye doctor to see how much correction he needed and explained the different procedures that could be done. We decided on the Mini Mono. Which is slight under correcting the weak eye so he would not need reading glasses in a few years. You see if you correct both eyes, when you are in your 40's you will need to use reading glasses. If you under correct one eye you can prolong that. So he came home early yesterday and we left to the Millennium Eye Center for his Lasik surgery. The staff was great, friendly and understanding. We saw the eye doctor aga... 12/06/2008

I have been working with International Clients. They have been great, but for most of these transactions they have been in there country. So all is left for me. Now from the beginning they were here and we looked at many different homes. They were only here for a week. So we didn't havae much time. And we were not only looking for one, we were looking for two. Both were or shall I say are buying homes. Both placed offers, one was accepted the other was not. At this time they had gone back home. We moved ahead on the one, and I was on search for the other. I sent him mulitple listings and he would send back which ones he had liked. I would go ahead and preview and video for him (that will be another post all together), he finally found one he liked. We wrote up the offer and it was accep... 12/04/2008

Guess you know by now how much I love to stare at the clouds. Take my camera everywhere with me. Seems everywhere I go the clouds look different. And if I don't have my camera, at least I have my iPhone. This pictures was taken with the phone. Seemed I forgot the camera or was it because the battery was dead. I can't recall, but this one came out just as nice! Enjoy! 12/04/2008

I have been using gmail now for awhile. I have so many emails in there, I don't like to delete emails on files I am working on or with my past deals and so on. The problem I have is that there is to many emails in there now and they are all over the place. I know that there is a way to make folder of them, but haven't been able to figure it out. I had made labels thinking that it was a folder and nothing was it. I have entourage, and I have folders there, but when I am using a computer away from home I would like to be able to open up gmail and click on a folder. Less steps. Is there anyone who is currently using gmail that can help me with this? Your help is much appericated!!!!   12/02/2008

So every year my husband and I get into an agruement about a Christmas tree. You see, he always wants to buy a fake pre lite tree. And to me what I think is that if you get a fake tree, then we get a fake Christmas. Now don't get me wrong if you have a fake tree that is your preference. But I have never liked a fake tree. We went to Home Depot, Target, and Wal-Mart. And he kept pointing to all these different trees. My daughter even kept telling daddy, No we don't like the fake tree. we want a real tree. All I could do is laugh, I never told her to say that. So he looked at all of us and knew he lost the fight once again, another year! But I think he just does it to rattle my cage, he knows it upsets me and does it to irritate me. So we were headed home when he told me to turn into Publ... 11/30/2008

I figured this is the perfect time to use my family photo we took yesterday at Thanksgiving Dinner. This is the time when we spend most of our time with our famliies. And what a perfect time then to show my own. I will probably only use it for about two weeks and change it back to my own with a holiday theme. But for now this is what I have. So what do you think? 11/28/2008

I love to look up at the sky and see what the clouds look like. Did you ever as a child try to figure out the shape or what it looked like? I may be crazy, nuts, however you call it, but i love to look up and just stare! Especially when the sunsets! Those are the most beautiful times. Stop and look you might be surprised!   11/28/2008

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!!! Last week I wrote a post about what are you thankful for. And I thank many of you who commented on what you are thankful for. But I thnk some forgot how grateful they should be for the many things that they have. So many want more and are not grateful fr the family, the job, the health. When you sit down to eat today, thank God for what he has given you!! Would love to see your family Thanksgiving pictures after all is said and done!! 11/27/2008
