Finally, rearranged.

Rearranged it and it feels so gooooooood! I finally got to fufill my rearranging needs. It was a lot of work, but now my living room is cleaned well, and different then it had been, which in turn makes me a very very happy camper. Change is GOOD.

Unfortunatly, Kelso's class ring was not found in my cleaning process. UGH! I sure hope it turns up. I'm totally stressing over it. Maybe in my other cleaning tomorrow I'll come across it. Cross your fingers.

Tomorrow I'll be doing more cleaning, in preperation for Aubrey's birthday party. Gotta have a clean house for company. Tomorrow night is Jilly's Christmas program for school. She plays a penguin. I hope its fun, and I hope Aubrey cooperates and sits quietly and watches so I can enjoy it too.

Whelp, sorry its short & boring, but I'm to tired and don't really have anything exciting to chat about, so I'm ending this one for now. G'night, sleep tight, and of course...toodles. I'm off to bed. :)

Missing ring

UGH! On my birthday, Kelsey took off her class ring, so she could put lotion on her hands. She supposedly set her ring on my desk. Then forgot about it until the next day, in the afternoon. She went to put the ring on, and it was gone. I hadn't seen it on my desk at all, if I had, I'd have put the damn thing up for safe keeping. So, we've been looking all over for this damn ring since, and haven't had any luck finding it. Its a $440 ring, that she has only had for a month! UGH! I'm so mad at her for being careless with it. I've told her over and over, leave the damn ring on your finger, that way it doesn't get lost because you always have your finger with you! But nope, she'd take it off to shower, and other stuff...and now look whats happened. Mother knows best Kelsey, please listen more often. It seems like I'm the only one worried about this ring. I guess no one else seems to care that there is a missing $440 ring, since no one else has bothered to help me search for it. I think this calls for a living room furniture re-arranging, so the living room can get a serious cleaning and I can hunt for the ring better...but unfortunatly, I need my husband to help me, the tv thing is a bit to heavy for me, and it involves moving cables etc...and getting him to help me is like ummm making the dead come alive. He HATES me rearranging the furniture. I LOVE doing it, and NEED doing it now and then to keep me sane. I'm stuck in this house all day every day pretty much, I need changes now and then.

Saturday, my little Aubrey turns 2! Can you believe it? Doesn't seem possible. We are having a little family birthday party for her. Ni Hao Kai Lan is the theme. She LOVES that show. When it comes on she happily yells, "Kai Lan's on, YAY!" and claps her hands. She's so cute. Cross your fingers that the cake I'm making turns out the way I envision it.

Speaking of Aubrey. She was so funny the other night. She'd give me a kiss, tell me bye, and say she is going to school. Then she'd walk down the hallway in the house, and come back. She would announce her return, and tell me she missed me, then she'd do it all over again. She did this several times. Then, she decided I needed to eat imaginary food. She went down the hallway to get some, bring it back and feed it to me, then go get more, and more, and more. THEN, she came back with a brush, and a headband. She wanted to fix my hair she said. I of course let her. She put the headband on all cockeyed, then announced, "PRINCESS MOMMY!" loudly to everyone. LOL she is a total nut. She kept working on my hair, telling me she was putting in a pigtail, which really meant she was yanking on my hair. If I yelled OUCH, she said, "Mommy don't say ouch!" haha. I kept asking if she was done yet, her reply was "nope, not yet". She is so much fun sometimes. :)

Thats it for now, I should probaby start to tackle my TO DO list that is a mile long. Toodles :)

Idiot drivers

Today, it was super foggy out. As I'm going down the long road to walmarthell, I'm cautiously going the speed limit. Then, I look in my rear view mirror, to see Mario, speed up behind me. Then, he eases over to the center to see if he can pass...well, the idiot did pass, but he almost ran right into an oncoming truck. He was in such a damn hurry that he had to pass me in the horrible fog, and didn't see the truck coming. Thankfully, I did, and immediately slowed down to let him get in front of me. He's lucky. Stupid dink. Why risk your life, and every one elses on the road doing stupid risks like that when the weather is nasty? Stupid dink. I must be a horrible person, because I wished I'd see him in a ditch down the road, so I could say "told ya so, stupid dink". I don't want him hurt or anything, I just want the crap scared out of him, make him pee himself a little in fright. Idiot drivers.

Party time

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. It was a busy day of Christmas parties, and by the time we got home, and Bree finally went to bed at 11:30 I was to tired to even type a word.

The morning was spent at the kids Christmas party, put on by Bill's employer. They had different crafts set up for the kids to do, and then Santa came by to give the kids little gifts. The crafts were to much for Bree, she didn't have the attention span to sit there doing them, but she tried a bit. She was all talk of sitting with Santa before the party, once we got there, she changed her mind quite quickly. She allowed Bill to hold her near Santa, but that was about it. Here are a few pictures.




Later in the evening my mother in law came over to babysit the girls, so Bill & I could go to his work adult Christmas party. It was nice to get out just he & I, I don't think we had been out alone together since last years party.

Upon returning home, Bree ordered me to sit with her and cuddle. Which I did until she finally fell asleep at 11:30! She told me when I got home, "Mommy, I MISSSSED you!" so sweet. :)

Today, I've been busy trying to figure out what the hell to do for Aubrey's birthday cake. I had an idea, but then it got squashed because things weren't going to work the way I had envisioned, so it was plan B....which also had its issues. I think they are all worked out now, so later , like Friday, I'll have everything under control and organized to make her cake. I hope.

I'm debating on running out to Walmarthell right now. I need a few things, need to return the DS we got Jilly for Christmas, and exchange it for games too. (She had a DS at her dads, that she had to keep there, but now that he is moving to Norway, she gets to bring it home...we had gotten her one for Christmas, but she sure doesn't need 2! So we'll exchange the one, for some games). I'd like to go and get it done. Not sure I feel like putting on presentable clothing and actually going out and driving there, and dealing with weekend shoppers...hmmm what to do what to do...

Thats it for now...toodles.

The bestest gifts ever

As I said in the previous post, it was my birthday yesterday. I got some great gifts, and they were not the kind that money could buy. Kelsey gave me a foot massage, Jilly gave me a back massage, and Bree did my hair, she kept asking me if I wanted pigtails lol. Silly girl. BUT, the best was yet to come...Bree went to bed at 9 (instead of 11ish like she had been doing) AND she slept till 7:20 with no wake ups. Yay Bree and Yay for ME! The dog also cooperated and didn't whine to pee at all last night. I almost got to sleep till my alarm went off, I ended up a few minutes early, because I had to pee haha.

Today was a quiet day. The girls had a full day of school (yay!). I spent the day doing some cleaning, and some relaxing. My living room was clean a few hours ago, but looking at it now, you'd never know. Its rather depressing. The house needs to be decent tomorrow, because my MIL is coming over to babysit tomorrow night so Bill & I can go to his work Christmas party.

Tomorrow is going to be kinda busy. Early in the day is the kids Christmas party from my husbands work, then later is the adult one. As I said, my MIL is babysitting. I don't let Kelsey babysit. She & Jilly don't get along, I'd come home to a destroyed house, and one of them would be injured.

I'm hoping Bree cooperates at the party tomorrow and sits on Santa's lap, at least long enough for me to take a picture. Wish us luck on that :) She keeps talking about it and saying she will...but saying and doing are totally different things. I have a feeling she won't go near Santa (or Panta as she calls him).

Thats it for now...tata and toodles

Happy Birthday...to ME!

Happy Birthday to myself! Yay. I survived another year. I'm not just an old fart now, I'm a really old fart! 41 yrs old to be exact. It started out on a somewhat bad note this morning, but the day has improved somewhat. I'm feeling really tired tonight, from the yucky last night...or maybe its because I'm really old now.

School was an hour later this morning because of the icy roads. Once I got the girls to school I came home for breakfast and to chill out a bit. Then Bill, Bree & I went to run some errands. We had some groceries to get and a few Christmas items. Got home, had lunch, then it was time to get the girls again. Came home, chilled a bit, then went and picked up KFC/Taco Bell for dinner. We always go out to dinner for our birthdays, but Bill went to bed instead (he has to work tonight) so it was just the girls & I, so we opted for fast food...not really what I wanted, but since I had to pay myself I went the cheaper faster route. Unfortunately it wasn't so fast...

Kels & Jilly are giving Bree her bath right now for me, so I can relax. That is nice of them. When they are done, we'll probably have some cake. Can't have a birthday without cake ya know :)

I'm hoping Bree is kind tonight and goes to bed a bit earlier then last nights 11:40. She didn't have much nap today, so maybe, just maybe, I'll get lucky. Cross your fingers for me!

Today, I've been thinking about my grandma's. Both are now deceased, but both are on my mind. My dads mom, was so good at sending everyone a birthday card. It always arrived on time, and she never forgot. I miss cards from Grandma. Thinking about her got me thinking about my moms mom. She used to call me Binky, that was the nickname she gave me and called me that even as an adult! I guess it was originally Stinky, because when she held me as a baby I always pooped haha. She figured growing up called Stinky wouldn't be a good thing...so she changed it to Binky (thanks gram!).

I guess thats all for now. Sounds like a lot of giggling going on in the bathroom, so I better go check on the crazy girls...Toodles.
