PLANNING FUN THINGS FOR 2009

[jonsiegirl29]

OK, SO I HAVEN'T BEEN ON CAFEMOM MUCH THESE DAYS. I'M TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP ON THE WEEKLY PHOTO CATEGORIES & SOME OTHER PHOTOS I WANT TO POST. BUT ANYWAYS, HERE IT IS, JANUARY OF A NEW YEAR & I'M DETERMINDED TO MAKE IT A GOOD YEAR IF I CAN. I'VE BEGAN MY JOURNEY OF JOB HUNTING. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF GOOD PROSPECTS GOING--THE HOSPITAL HERE IN SUMMERS COUNTY AS A PART TIME ADMISSIONS CLERK & SOME SORT OF SECRETARIAL DUTY AT RT ROGERS HERE IN HINTON. SO I'VE STARTED TAKING CARE OF THAT. I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE GOING BACK INTO THE WORK FIELD AFTER BEING A STAY AT HOME MOMMY FOR 3 YEARS NOW. I LOVE BEING HOME WITH MY KIDS, DON'T GET ME WRONG BUT I'M SO READY TO GET BACK TO WORK AND ENJOY BEING AROUND GROWN UPS AGAIN. I AM IN NEED OF TALKING TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN A 2 YR OLD. LOL!!! ANYWAYS, ME & RYAN HAVE DISCUSSED PLANNING A FEW ACTIVITIES FOR THE KIDS, WELL FOR US ALSO THAT WE USUALLY DON'T THINK OF OR USUALLY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR. I'M GONNA PLAN A SLEEPOVER FOR EACH OF THE 3 OLDER KIDS--STARTING WITH NATHAN WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS NEXT MONTH. I'M GONNA LET THEM INVITE 4-5 KIDS, LET HIM RENT A MOVIE, GET MUNCHIES & A PIZZA. I'M STILL HUNTING ONLINE FOR SOME GAMES AND OTHER THINGS TO PLAN FOR HIS PARTY BUT SO FAR I'M KINDA STUCK. IT'S HARD FOR A GIRL TO PLAN FOR A BOY HEHEHEHE. RYAN DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PLAN EITHER BECAUSE HIS PARENTS NEVER DONE THINGS LIKE THIS FOR HIM. ANYHOW, I'VE GOTTA PLAN ONE FOR NICK ALSO BUT HIS PROB WON'T BE UNTIL SPRING BREAK(I THINK). I'M GONNA PLAN KENZIE'S IN BETWEEN NICK'S & NATHAN'S & I'VE ALREADY PRETTY MUCH PLANNED HERS. I CAN PLAN GIRL THINGS. A FRIEND OF MINE HAS 2 GIRLS THAT ARE COMING & SHE'S GONNA STAY HERE THAT NIGHT ALSO & HELP WITH THINGS. I'M ALSO GONNA HAVE A PAMPERED CHEF PARTY--NOT SURE OF WHEN TO PLAN FOR IT. MY BEST FRIEND IS A CONSULTANT SO I CAN PRETTY MUCH HAVE IT ANYTIME, BUT I'M TRYING REAL HARD TO WORK ON DATES TO REALLY PLAN THIS STUFF OUT. ALSO, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PARTY OF MAKING STEPPING STONES. MY SISTER, DREMA, DONE THIS LAST SPRING WITH A FEW OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND IT WAS SUCH A BLAST. RYAN'S MOM REALLY WANTS TO MAKE SOME ALSO SO WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING THAT ALSO. I BELIEVE THAT IS JUST REALLY GONNA BE SO FUN!!!! AND WE'VE BEEN COLLECTING THINGS TO PUT IN THEM =). WE'RE GONNA ALSO GO CAMPING THIS SUMMER. IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 YEARS SINCE WE WENT CAMPING DUE TO EVAN, BUT I THINK HE'S OLD ENOUGH NOW FOR US TO TAKE HIM. WE ARE ALL SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT TOO. I THINK RYAN'S BRO & S-I-L & NEPHEW ARE GONNA GO WITH US. WE USUALLY GO LABOR DAY WEEKEND BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA GO SOMETIME THE BEGINNING OF JUNE BECAUSE RYAN WILL BE ON VACATION THEN. BUT PLANS AREN'T DEFINATE! ANYWAYS, HERE'S A BEGINNING TIMELINE OF OUR PLANS:

**FEBRUARY--NATHAN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY & NATHAN'S SLEEPOVER (FOR HIS BIRTHDAY) WILL PROB PLAN FOR 2 DIFFERENT DAYS

**MARCH--KENZIE'S SLUMBER PARTY

**APRIL--NICK'S SLEEPOVER

**MAY--MAKING STEPPING STONES PARTY(WILL TAKE ONE COMPLETE WEEKEND TO DO----ONE DAY TO MAKE, ALL NIGHT TO SET UP, AND NEXT DAY THEM TO COME AND GET)

**JUNE--CAMPING????? (AT BLUESTONE CONFERRENCE CENTER) OR INSTEAD OF CAMPING, MAYBE PAMPERED CHEF

**NICK'S BIRTHDAY PARTY. NICK WILL BE OUT OF STATE WITH HIS YOUTH GROUP THE WEEKEND AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY-THEY ARE GOING TO A CHRISTIAN CONCERT & KINGS DOMINION.

**AUGUST--CAMPING OR PAMPERED CHEF PARTY.

I'LL UPDATE MORE WHEN I COME UP WITH STUFF.
