This weekend is going to be all about getting the kids’ toys organized.  I found these great organizers that have three levels and multiple bins to sort and organize all of the toys the kids have.  The bins are multiple colors too so they match the decor in the kids’ rooms.  I’m tired of stepping on toys when I go in there so I’m having the kids help me sort out all of their toys.

Whatever does not fit in the organizers will be donated.  At the end of each night they have to make sure all of their toys are put up.  No more messy rooms!

Clumsy has got to be my middle name with a big capital C.  I drop everything and run into things all of the time.  I can’t even count the times I say ouch in one day.  I was coming down the stairs this morning and dropped my phone.  It fell down all of the stairs and beat me to the bottom.  I’m sure it would have been dead if it were not in the fancy, protective, silicone case I got for it.

I’m soo grateful I spent the extra money on that case.  If I didn’t have it I bet I would be at the store right now paying to replace my phone.

Hello, my name is Suzi, and I’m a chocoholic!  Chocolate is one of my weaknesses.   I can’t help myself when I see chocolate, I just have to have it.

I was walking through the aisles of my grocery store and came to the clearance section.  On the table was a huge stack of dark chocolate morsels in the shape of snowflakes.  They were marked down more than 50% just because they were deemed “holiday.”  I have no problem buying and eating chocolate in any shape, as long as it tastes good.

Watching live television is starting to drive me nuts.  I can’t stand how the volume of the commercials raises considerably during the commercial breaks.   I find it insulting!  I can’t fast forward through them on live television so I watch them or am forced to mute them.  Sometimes it’s soo loud it hurts my ears.  It’s especially annoying at night when the kids are sleeping and the volume blares through the roof on a commercial break.

Today I went out to run a few errands. I stopped off at the bank to deposit a few checks. I always check the amount of a check before I put it in the ATM. For some crazy reason when the check was scanned  the machine read it as being worth ten more dollars. I thought it was really strange so I pressed the button to return the check. I glanced at the amount again and resubmitted it. This time it read the check correctly.  I’ve always said that honesty is the best policy. I’d hate to steal ten dollars from someone do I quickly fixed the situation.
