It's only Tuesday?!?

It has been a hard week. It feels like Thursday afternoon to me... emotionally, mentally and physically. It's only Tuesday!

There is a person at my job that is mentally tiring. She basically verbally beats you up. I walk away feeling like I have two black eyes.

My personal life is going crappy. It's something I can't even talk about really. It's just emotionally raw right now.

We got 8 more inches of snow... but first we got freezing rain. NICE. We haven't gotten this much snow since I was a kid. It is CRAZY! My kids have missed more school this year than several past years combined.

AND when o' when will they fix spell check?!?????? *sniff*

I think I am caught up!

I have been gone a week. I haven't read any blogs or made any posts. I didn't really mean to do it, it just worked out that way. It's been a busy week. School conferences, dance lessons, Ballet practice, wrestling matches, blah blah blah, not to mention terribly busy at work. But I think I am pretty much caught up now. I have missed a lot!!!!!!!!!! Broken Legs, 100th Posts, Birthdays here and here, Blogging Addictions and oh so much more!

It should be a fun filled weekend, my step son will be over and my son only has to work Saturday morning. This means that all weekend I will have no less than 6 teenage boys in my home all weekend. FUN!?!? I know... you are all so jealous. Try to contain it.... I will try to get some pictures to prove what fun is!

I am hoping to escape the chaos at some point with my daughter to try and find some form of girly time! We are going to watch my neice dance on Saturday night and then Sunday we will go to her Ballet practice. Thank God!

Took some online quizzes with my two teenage sons last night. That was dumb! I found out somethings I really never needed to know. Like, things girls have said to my 14 year old that cannot be repeated here. Or, things girls have offered to do to my 18 year old that I cannot repeat here. But the things I found out that were good, are my 18 year olds views on sexual relations with girls... very solid and mature. Whew. Let's just say my 14 year old has some wild ideas and needs to corralled and ideas beat into his head for the next 4 years but the good news on that is, I still have time to beat it into him!

My husband and I went to dinner alone last night. That was our gift to each other for the "hallmark holiday". It was just an excuse to not cook in my book, so I was alllll for it! The kids chose Taco John's to have. Uh ok. So they got their meal and we had ours. Seperate! :-)

Have a good weekend!

Thoughtless Ramblings.

WOW, so much to say...so little time.

Let's start with the fun part. We got a foot of snow on Wednesday (on top of the 6 inches we got Monday). YEA!!! This meant no school and hubby and I stayed home too (that's where the cheering came from - YEA NO WORK!) A town about 45 minutes south of me got 12 inches of snow on Monday and another 12 inches on Wednesday - not pretty. It is down around where my step-son lives, he hasn't had school all week!! They had roofs collapsing (not his but in the town), their plow couldn't keep up (yes a single plow - it's a smaller town). It's just been a snow, snow, snow everywhere kind of winter!

I think since we have been cooped up all winter, the germs are everywhere. I am getting sick, again. Seriously, haven't I paid my dues this winter already. I mean I gave 6 weeks of my life up for bronchitis earlier this winter. It is in the beginning stages right now and I am trying to fight it off. I hope I succeed.

Let's see what else? I mean besides 18 inches of snow and sick? I have such a great and interesting life!!!!

My library books are over due, by a month. Need to get those back.

No birthdays to talk about. *whew*

Oh, next week is Valentines Day. But I am a Valentine's Day scrooge (I heard that saying on another blog and it cracked me up - but now I can't remember what blog!). I really don't like V Day, I really should be pampered all year long. NOT just one day. But I think hubby and I are going to actually do something special this year. 1. because we have some extra $$ 2. It's our first Valentine's day married. So, why not. What does everyone else do? Is it a big day for you or are you like me and usually it's just another day???

AND when in the H*LL are they going to fix the spell check?!?!?!?!?!?!? I NEED SPELL CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who doesn't love a good concert??

Last night I had the distinct pleasure of taking my daughter to the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Concert 3D Movie. Yea. That was F.U.N.

Here's a run down:

a $18 EACH to see the movie
a Obtain stylish 3D glasses
a Take picture of ourselves on crappy cell phone
a Be the only people in the theater (it paid to go on a Monday night apparently.)
a Buy a million dollar bucket of popcorn
a Be suckered into buying the large pop (it’s only 30 cents more!)
a Listen to my daughter sing at the top of her lungs to each and every song…

ePRICELESS!e

And for the record - Miley is adorable and such a good role model for young girls. There aren't that many to chose from these days. She and her family are a class act. I was happy to shell out the dough for something like this, plus it was better than taking her to the actual concert, where tickets sold out in minutes and then were scalped for hundreds - even thousands - of dollars. And we would of had to travel to another state to go see it. Yes, this was much cheaper!

Super Bowl Shout Out

OH H*LL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PATRIOTS WENT DOWN IN A FLAMING BALL OF SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take that Tom "pussboy" Brady!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dance with me

Yesterday we spent the entire day at our daughter's dance competition. (As in 10+ hours!). It was all worth it :-)

My proudest moments were her two solo entries. She won a Gold Medal and 3rd place overall in the Lyrical category and another Gold Medal and 1st place overall in Musical Theater. I was so PROUD!

She did well in her duet and group dances, too. But her solo's were all her and her hard work. I couldn't be prouder.


On a side note: My son cried when I read him his poem on his birthday. Now, he is NOT an emotional person. As in since he has been in his teens and most of pre-teens I have probably seen him cry 3 times and they were all out of him being tired and frustrated with something. So, it was VERY heartwarming. And he loved it. I couldn't of been happier.

Hope you had a great weekend and I will I try to catch up on my blog reading tonight.
