WOW, so much to say, so little time. Uh, no... not really. It is the same ol' crap different day! :-) Let's see... snow and ice yesterday and all night last night. So that puts us up to almost three feet of snow and ice. I love the midwest. I do. But holy mother of all things good... when is spring going to get here already?!?!? The joke is over... I cry uncle. I give in. I tap out. Whatever... just make the snow and ice go away!
I took my son to the dr yesterday to be tested for mono. He is about 25% better. He is back at school but can barely make it through the day. He is just NOT himself. This is the sickest he has ever been in his entire 14 years. So, the dr. wanted to be safe than sorry. So, he still has fevers at night but not during the day so much, still has a horrible dry raspy cough and stuffy nose, still has muscle aches and no energy, and then yesterday morning woke up with swollen glands in his neck and it hurt to even touch them. But he trudged on to school, he said he just couldn't miss anymore days. He really is a trooper. The dr. is still leaning towards a bad case of Influenza, since his spleen was normal size but wants to be sure about the mono. So in another day or so, we should know. I don't care what he has really, I just want it to go away!!!!!!!!!! I hate seeing my poor bubby sick. He is just always so resilient and healthy. It breaks my heart. And if he is complaining and wanting me to baby him, there is definitely something wrong!
The good news is, I am feeling a ton better. I mean I know it's only been 5 days of my wonder drug, but I can tell a difference in my energy level. And so far, no side effects, so that's GREAT! So there is a bright side to all this dreary.
YEA SPELL CHECKER IS FIXED!!!!!!!!!

No tree, More snow & Freezing temps
My sister was over tonight. She yelled at me. "When are you going to put up your f*&%ing tree" (She is a rebel like that, very naughty... bad language and all, and a loud mouth to boot...but gawd she is family so I have to love her.) So, yes, I do not have my tree up. I suck. And believe it or not, my daughter, the only one that gives a rats behind about the tree, hasn't asked in like 3 days about it. I have to get my tree up this weekend. And we are so busy this weekend, I am honestly not sure how that is going to happen but I have to work my mom magic and MAKE it happen! But what I really want to do is bury my head in the sand!
In more weather related news: (which I know your are all dying to hear) it was 9 degrees when I got in my car this morning and 17 on my home... yep down 20 degrees. With new ice spots all over. THEN.... we are expected to get even more snow tomorrow. YEA ME! Seriously folks, its *only* December. We have gone many Decembers recently with no snow or very little snow. Then we get some snow in January, some in February, a little in March and a couple times, small amounts in April. But this December has taken the cake of the crappiest month in a very long time. I think this is part of my problem this year, dealing with a stressful job, the holidays are always stressful and then all this snow and ice is freaking nuts and pushing me right over top. Believe me, I didn't have far to go.
My son went to the movies with his friend that is a girl, he's not home yet. Little Brat. He BETTER be at the late movie, which I suspect he is since they didn't decide to go to the movie until a little after 7 and they had to drive there. I just hate him out this late and I want to go to bed. Long are the days when they were toddlers running around my house like mad men and I knew who they were with and where they were at all times!
My oldest son has 5 days left of school. I told my husband to not be surprised if I spent my day on Friday crying. He didn't get it, so I had to spell it out for him. My OLDEST son is DONE WITH SCHOOL. It's kind of a big accomplishment and it makes me a little nostalgic, very proud and frankly, shocking that I am the mother of a high school graduate. That's some big things right there. He says, "I will never understand women". No honey, you never will!

A little bit of this... A little bit of that...
Some updates in my life:
daughter is better. YIPEE! She went to school today and all is well. I am going to have my husband stay home with all the kids when they are sick. He must have some magic potion or something. She is having a new friend spend the night tonight. It always makes me nervous when new friends come over. You never know how they are going to act or behave or think of to do, etc. I am pleasantly surprised. They have been playing nicely in my daughter's room. Playing school, dancing and just giggling hysterically.
My middle son is at his friend's house spending the night. They are going snowboarding tomorrow. With my oldest son at work, it's just the girls and the house is QUIET and ENJOYABLE. Life is good :)
My floor is still pink. But what the heck! I am guessing it will have the pink tint for another month. I am just not up to re-doing the kitchen before Christmas.
We are out of food again. Since I haven't been back to the store since this post, it's understandable. I get to go grocery shopping tomorrow morning and run to the dance supply shop because my daughter needs new pink tights for her performance in the Nutcracker tomorrow. Nothing like good ol' fashion procrastination!
My oldest got his acceptance letter to the Junior College he is going to this fall. That was exciting news. He is going to go to 2 years at the Junior College and live at home and then transfer to a 4 year college. I am sure he will stay around here. In his words, "I am going to mooch off of you for as long as I can". Well... at least he's honest. Right?? Right?!?!? He has 10 days left to go to school. He is graduating early. He will still graduate with his class in May, but he will be done with school December 21st. I think I am still in shock about this. I mean, I am old enough to have a son that is GRADUATING. WTF happened there? It is true, they grow up so fast. In my head he is still 8... but with a drivers license. I am making no sense, so I should probably stop now.
Last but not least, I would like to give a shout out to my blog friend Valerie who informed me that it was 82 degrees today in Florida where she lives and she wore shorts. It was 17 degrees here and I wore my winter coat, sweater, scarf, gloves and boots and still froze and prayed I didn't fall on any ice or get snow in my boot. Thank God for seat warmers... my tush was toasty warm while I was driving!
