Yeah I know I suck.

I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post. Things are finally starting to level out at work. Soon I will actually only be working Saturday evenings, Sundays and Monday evenings. It kind of stinks cause I have gotten used to my schedule (well kinda sorta). It will be nice to have my house not be a mess everyday! Nor will I be exhausted. I am in a bit of missing Texas slump. Well, not Texas but my friends and family in Texas. Well I am going to put my rugrats (kids) LOL in bed and then I will post some more and some semi recent photos.

Taco Ring



This is a favorite among my family and friends. I will add the photo the next time I make it, since I forgot to take one this time.
