The Simpson-Sykes'

Just for fun!!

So I was bored so finally simpsonized my family.... the website's been p for 6 mos but while bk had the promotion going on the website was slammed and took forever but now you zip right through at simpsonizeme.com and here we are!

Livia

How about a happy-go-lucky blog?
Zac taught Jayna her full nam... andto put it all into a better perspective, Even Anthony doen't know his full name. He knows Anthony Sykes.....
Jayna says "Jayna Livia (or" li-e-a" if talking fast) Sykes"
Isn' that sweet?

Then I finally got around to getting our Christmas Cards now I need to address them all *yawn*

I got all Anthony's party favors for his class maters done/ I should have took a pic as those 24 favors looked really cute with the personalized tags and everything!

I am DONE Christmas shoppping, but I need to finish wrapping and figure out the whole Santa thing as this is the 1st year Ant is excited about it all!

I have now gotten 4 Christmas cards and that was soooooo exciting since I never get mail in fact, I love C-mas cards so much I still have most of mine up from LAST Christmas still... Am I pathetic? Ya just have to understand I prob only get 4-5 pieces of non bill related mail a yr minus 2-3 bday cards so I almost feel important for a moment!<3

Hours~Hours~Hours

Is saying I'm tired an understatement?
I feel guilty for wanting to sleep since I only have very limited time with my kids.
Am I being a good mom for working my butt off, doing my (almost) absolute best now in hopes it will be easier soon or am I being stupid for not looking for a more family friendly job?
I wish I knew the answers... before it is too late and I am regretting whatever it is...

It is rare that I even get a day off work every week anymore. And even if I do manage the miracle of a day off I am still working a heck load of hours...
2 weeks ago I worked all 7 days and same thing 3 weeks ago. Now, last week I did manage my 1st day off in 17 days!!! However in 6 days I worked 69 hours. My poor legs are still hurting and I don't know what to do!! This week I have worked Mon-Thurs and am at 42 hours. I am suppose to have of tomorrow-- but I be that doesn't happen! I have never had an anniversary off before so why would I expect anything different? But, even w/ 42 hours I still have to work Sat and Sun and after work Sun I have to throw my employees a Christmas Party!!

Am I being stupid working all these hours (salaried)? I am missing out on my kids and feels like I am getting no where. I adore my job- no joke... but I would love to only work 45 hrs a week!

Oh yeah not to mention 2 of my managers quit this month so if I am wrking 70 w/ them I guess I'll work 100 w/o them. I must be a real shit place to work since everyone is leaving! Even for lower pay they leave. I don't know what I am doing wrong but really something has to give! I am so tired and tired of working so hard~
O enough whining and complaining for one blog!

Happy Holidays tomy Jewish Friends!

I went groccery shopping!

Aren't you almost proud of me? I wet grocery shopping for the first time in months!! I work in fast food so that makes up for 40-50% of my eating and that amount of time the kids are at moms, A just has poptarts for breakfast and eats lunch at school and usually supper at moms by the time i get off work. I eat out for breakfast nearly daily and share my $3 breakfast w/ JJ. then we eat out 40% of the meals and we eat at my moms 10% of the time and just skip whatever other meals... but I actually bught suff to cook now finding time to cook it I don't know! I even got those nasty blood meats that I don't eat trying to think of DH! Maybe sunday I'll cook for him!

He can be sweet!

So anyone who knows me knows I am not that touchy feely romantic type which is good because neither is Marko. I guess that's what makes us a good match. So usually I am 24/7 mom whenever I am home from work and a break is after 11pm if I can get both kids to bed (thus iit is 11:36 and I am blogging) We'll Saturday I worked 5am-6pm and we were SLAMMED. I was beat already having worked my share of hours, having been sick the weekend before (thanksgiving-Monday), and still hadn't had a day off. I came home and kinda collapsed on the bed... I didn't mean to go to sleep I just wanted to talk to DH and catch up. Well I ended up zzzzzzzzzzz and he covered me up and watched JJ and let me nap several hours!! Whenever Ant ame home- he was at a Christmas musical Ant woke me up but to me that is sooooo sweet and romantic

Now an annoyance... can you believe my stinky hubby found his cmas gift? we never exchnge gifts but i saw something on clearance and had to get it for him (a chair massager insert that heats and cools (uilt i fant, massager, heater, and cushy) and that crazy man had to go find it!!! Grrr;-)
