So its starting to get cold here in Texas. Its one of them rainy, gloomy, cold, days i just love. hehehe

I have got Chicken n' Dumplings in the crock pot. Willow, Jacqueline, i just got done watching 

Beauty and the Beast. The Christmas one on Disney channel. We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast.  

I pretty much have the house cleaned, and after lunch the girls and i are going to go look at a new apartment. 725 dollars is just way to much for us to be paying in rent right now. This new apartment that we will be looking at is only 550 a month. Can you say extra money if we get it. 

Today has been a pretty awesome day, Just wish my husband was off last night and today so that 

we would be able to have some good ol' family time today. Later on today the girls get to see their nanny. YAY! They always love to have Nanny time.
