Life is good :)

• I had lunch with one of my favorite bloggers who isnt blogging any more and my cousin.
• It was great. I am sure they were wondering when we were going to leave. We started before lunch rush and stayed almost till the end...maybe it was the end :)
• It was so much fun! I cant wait to do it again.
• This morning one of my little ones woke up with a stomach ach. Poor thing. His felt better and then all of a sudden he had fever. He is good now, sleeping peacefully on the couch...I am sure he isnt going to school in the morning.
• I was supposed to sub too :( I was looking forward to it. I may still. He is plenty old enough to stay at home by himself. That may be a fight with the hubby though and well its just wouldnt be worth it.
• My washer is leaking water :( It has been for almost a week now. I have asked th hubby to look at it but he still hasnt.
• I have done what I can with it but I dont know much about that kind of stuff. I have checked the hoses and they seem to be fine and I know the general area it is leaking from but thats about all I can do :(
• I am debating on whether a repairman and repairs will be worth it or if its just time for a new one.
• I am up way past my bedtime. I cant sleep! Doing laundry. Yuck. The whole not being able to sleep may be my own doing. I had a 3 hour nap in the middle of the day :)
• My January goal of making my bed every day has had some success but not as much as I wanted. The bed gets made almost everyday but most days not until late afternoon.
• I know what February's goal will be. I am going to try to get rid of my ponytail...well for most days...

:(

I have removed most of my links on the side. Not because I dont love them but because they are either private or no longer there.

Blah...

• I have been finding harder to get myself to post anything lately.
• My sister went to trial last week. Things went really well. Reading the comments on the news though is never a good idea. Some broke my heart and others just really piss me off.
• We have some friends that just got married not even a month ago. They are having problems already. Big ones. I can deal with it but last night it affected my kids. I have had enough.
• I hate McDonald's toys. I hate putting teeny weeny little stickers on. I hate looking for an hour because they have shot part of it and cant find it but they just have to have it. The kids love them so I guess I will have to deal with it.
• Supper excited about lunch Wednesday. :)
• My kiddo started the dishwasher for me the other day. He closed my phone charger in it. It doesnt work any more :( I have been using his phone.
• Is 10 to early to start drinking? I mean its after noon somewhere right?
• I love that my kids let me sleep late now :) They can make their own bowl of cereal and finally understand they can turn on the TV without me but I truly miss pulling one in bed with me when he comes in too early :A(

Life and Stuff :)

• Ok so basketball hasnt been the best season. The oldest one still hasnt won a game yet :( The other ones well they have won the last two :) One doesnt even want to play because "he never gets to play." I do have to agree though. Their coach while good with plays, 3 players always stay in only leaving 2 spots to switch others in and out.
• Went to a bday party at chuck e cheese this weekend. It was surprisingly fun :) The little ones at just big enough to start doing some of it on their own and I got to play the ones that give lots of tickets so they would get to pick prizes to!
• I tried to make oatmeal...I added to much water....yuck!
• I am so excited. All my tv shows are starting back up :) We record them and watch them without commercials. So much better that way and we watch them on our own time. I love the DVR.
• I am thinking about asking a few bloggers that I cant read their blogs any more if they want to get together for lunch one day next week.
• My youngest child no longer wants to go to school. He is fine when he gets there but getting him in bed so he will be up in the morning is almost impossible. And dont even mention school in the morning or he isnt putting anything on.
• I need some ideas for helping him enjoy homework and school work. If you have any send them my way.
• We have been hanging out with some friends lately. Its gotten to the point when they dont show up I am asking where they are and why they didnt come over.
• I have been working a little more too :) Its good for me.
• I have a random question too. What does everyone do with their tax return? Is it big or small? We spend it on bills usually. I know some that put with hold the minimum (and owe) and some that withhold the max (for a big return)

Girls Night!

• We had a girls night! Oh my goodness was it fun!
• We went to a place call A Piece of Work. They teach you how to paint. Check out their calendar. I cant wait to go back :)
• Yep I painted that :) It was easier than I thought but still kinda hard for me. As you can see its cute but not great.
• A group of 11 of us went. We drank, snacked, painted, and laughed our butts off.
• My cousins painting is great. Her lips are all messed up and one of her eyes are huge. I mean huge. And she painted the what was supposed to be on the inside of the eye outside :) When she showed us we laughed so hard the rest of the class came to see what we were laughing at. She is a good sport and shared.
• If you want to see more pics they took some and they are here. The one we did was called Mimi.
• It is definitely something I want to go back and do again.
• One of the best things about this place is they are willing to help if you need it and they allow for you to change the picture any way you wish. One guy didnt even do that painting he did his own thing.
• We have decided we are going to have a girls night at least once a month. It was well worth it.
• Did forget to say I had a blast?
  

:(

I am sad to see what I consider a blogging friend go. I do understand her leaving though. This has affected her children and husband and that is just not acceptable. I do hope that things get better. The person doing all this should take a look at their own self. Arent you the gossip now? Should someone attack you? I find myself hoping that someone will on one hand and not on the other. Showing the world that one person is a gossip is no excuse for an attack on an entire family. It is a shame someone has twisted words into something they are not. I hope that you have achieved what you were after. I hope that you are now satisfied and can stop your hatred.

Man....

Everyone is going to invited readers only. I cant see some of my favorite blogs any more : ( Why does it make me sign in everytime I got to the web page? Even if I am already signed into blogger/google.

Hehe...

I just realized my back ground says Happy Thanksgiving....I think its time for me to look for a new one :)

I have had a lot on my mind lately just not the urge to post anything :/

• We had a great holiday. Christmas seemed to go on forever. That could be because we go so many places. This year it started and ended in the same place (Grandma's house) but it was nice. I got to see my family and spend lots of time with my children and hubby.
• They are all back to school and work now. I enjoy my peace and quiet for about an hour or so in the mornings before I start missing them.
• New years was fun. Not much drinking on my part or the hubby either. Thats new for me :) First time in about 5 years he has been awake when the ball drops. Had the kids too. We spent the evening with my SIL and family at the hubby's aunts. Played poker and LRC (or RCL). We came out a dollar ahead. My only complaint was the hubby thought it was more important to send a text than to kiss me :/ Boy did he get.
• I cant believe 2010 has come and gone already. I am make a resolutions list this year. I have never bothered before because it always seems so unrealistic to make a list of things you want to change just because its a new year. I am going for simple :) The first one is to make my bed everyday (I got out of the habit and now hardly ever do). I started this one the week before the new year though and it seems to be going good. They say if you do something 21 time in a row it becomes a habit..( I hope they are right). When I get through this one I will let you know about the next. They will all be habit forming things that will improve my life in some small way. Going to try for one a month.
• My car (well minivan) will be paid for by the end of April. (hopefully sooner) My hubby wants to get a new one right away. Me not so much. I would rather not have a car payment for a year or so. I might have him talked into it. It sure would be nice not to have to worry about it and also give us a bigger down payment.
• He wants a suburban. Eeeek. I can barely drive the minivan I dont want something that big.
• My youngest bought himself a pillow pet with some of his Christmas money. I had to make myself let him get one because I thought for sure that would be a waste of money. Man does he love that thing. He even gave him a name and wants to take him everywhere.
• The kids got enough Nerf guns to have a war. I keep finding darts everywhere. There were about 10 in the tree when I took it down. The kids were glad to have them back.

Ok I am rambling now so off I go. I will try to write some of the crap that keeps racing through my head down before I forget it all again. Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful, and joyous Year!
