so over may!

Bleh, good riddance.

Ok so talk about girl stuff ahead.. you've been warned.

I thought I was pregnant and at first EEK, WTF. Then the next day was more like.. well it won't be that bad. And of course that quickly moved into awwwwww, another sweet little chubby cheeked baby to snuggle. *love*

Well... I'm not. :( I"m sad and crampy and feel like crud and I'm all hormonal so I'm tearing up over nothing. Oh being a girl is FUN!

Sigh, anyway.

Tomorrow I have to organize some school stuff because we are supposed to start back to work on Monday. I have to make a list of lenders to contact about getting pre-qualified for a home loan. SIGH

Drama much?

I didn't mean to freak my friends out with my last entry (love you!). My family and I are ok, no one is sick or dying. :D

ugh, not tonight

dealing with potentially earth shattering news... blog more later

Damn Robots!

T: I want COOKIES... Homemade cookies... baked with LOVE! That ice cream isn't made with LOVE!!It's probably made by ROBOTS!

Apparently I'm moving

my townhouse is going to be listed and sold so I get to start searching for houses. FUN! Wanna help me search? I'd prefer help packing actually. ;)

Well, I guess I missed a day or two

I can't remember. lol

Dh (dear husband, yes it's a lame "net-ism" but I'm lazy and it's short so suck it!) has been home for a 4 day weekend and I've been occupied. We've had a great time, played games with the kids, eaten some great food and some junk, watched tv and movies and basically reconnected. It has been a wonderful time but today is the last day so I have to think about getting out of vacation mode. But not just yet...

This morning he cleaned the kitchen and now he has the kids at the pool. *dreamy sigh* When they get home we have grilling, banana splits and a family movie planned.

Long weekends are pretty awesome.

Their twilight campaign is easy to explain...

I was super duper productive today.

Cleaned the kitchen 3 times

Made a huge freezer batch of waffles for the spawn

Put away my laundry

Washed the kids bed stuff

Read Atonement for 2 hours

I was going to start sewing on the elephant but I've managed to lose the color I set aside SIGH so now I have to re-colormatch so I can start tomorrow.

And lastly I played games with each kid, had dinner and watched tv with my hubby.

Day 19

Sigh, yep I'm still doing this. lol

Today was full of domestic bliss. Dishes, laundry, groceries. Fun fun

Dh is watching Tommy on vh1. I've never actually seen it before... I think I need to be stoned. lol

sleepytime is now

Had a mostly lazy day. Washed all the laundry but didn't get any of it put away. Read a bit more out of Atonement, still meh-ish on it. Don't hate it but I'm not in love either.

Yep, I rock

Love this picture


Leg and tail detail

CRAP

I can't believe I forgot yesterday. Bleh

We had a huge nasty storm in the early hours. Lots of tornadoes, some major building damage in town and other areas but we were fine. My comp wanted to pretend that it was dead though and I wasn't real happy with that. I finally got it back and running around lunch time.

Then we did Chess and home/dinner/fambly stuffs the rest of the night. Dh is home today, he's out right now and then we are all going to Kelda's, he's going to drop us off and He and Teagan are going to go off and do some father/daughter stuff. *love*


I need to finish that damn giraffe this weekend and start on my book club book, other than that I'm just vegging I guess.

Have they met me?

Apparently I'm only 55% addicted to the internet.

55% Average@Internet-User.com (41% - 60%) You seem to have a healthy balance in your life when it comes to the internet and life away from the computer. You know enough to do what you want online without looking like an idiot (most of the time). You even have your own Yahoo club or online journal! But you enjoy seeing your friends and going out to enjoy life away from your computer. The Quiz at Quiz Meme!

Bet I can guess what Nicole's would be. *snicker*
And actually, reading that result does sound a LOT like me. Ok so I guess they have met me.

SURPRISE

Here is a little pressie for you.... ME and me not hiding my face or trying to disguise my fat, Me in my moon face glory. Behold... moi and moi offspring.




I started a book club with some other homeschooling moms today. Our first selection is Atonement. We are going out to dinner in 2 weeks to discuss. YAY!

oops, almost fell asleep

without blahging for the day.


I managed a whopping 5.. yes FIVE minutes on my fitness flyer (FF) today. Gah, wow I'm way sad. Hey, maybe I can get 6 minutes tomorrow. lol

Tomorrow I have our monthly homeschool meeting which I love and I think Nic and I are going to try to record which I also love. I get to dish on some RL people so it should be a gooood show. ;)

Ok now I can give you a proper update

Ok I'm setting out to gain like 100 lbs this weekend. Cake and ice cream and big huge breakfast (being cooked right now by my dearest husband) and other assorted crap!

The good news is I got a knock off gazelle thingy free from a friend. It's a "fitness flyer" but wtf ever it's going to be awesome. And it was free so WOOT!

I got the bestest package of yarn bits from Nicole. I use them for hair or tail bits on the sock toys. She sent a TON and a cool ikea thingy to store them in and the most adorable korker bows for Teagan.



Precious!

Ok I have some other stuff to say but I'll save it for tomorrow.

xoxo

stealing my own post

I just posted this to a local mom board but I've decided I'm going to blog it also.



I need... something

I don't know what. More friends maybe? I have acquaintances but most don't seem to move past the being friendly when we are around each other... we don't talk on the phone or do anything together.

I moved to LA from FL 2 years ago and I left my bff of 17 years behind and I'm still sad over it.

I homeschool so I have my kids a lot and dh is applying for an offhore job so you know how that goes. lol I'm 32 and I have a 12yo son so playgroups and mom things have often been weird because I was a younger mom with an older child.

I'm not even sure what I want really because I don't have $ to really go out with friends even if I had them. I think I just needed to vent and feel sorry for my lonely self for a minute. I guess it's just one of those days.
_________________


The older I get the more I'm feeling this sense of being... lost. I think part of it is that the kids are getting older and in turn require so much less of me. They are easier to care for in many ways and leaves my resources less taxed and I'm wanting something to fill that void. My little biz is fairly successful considering it's size but I need more interpersonal connections. I just need more of something.

motivation, I haz none

srsly, where is it hiding.

I have orders I need to work on, I have things I need to do. I'm all in school stuff mode and I'm letting other stuff slip and that's not so good.

Sigh, maybe I'll do better tomorrow

day 4

Part of my HS order from amazon has been shipped and as I was looking over the email I see that I somehow put two of the same study guides in the cart... mother humper. So I wasted $20. GAH, I am an idiot. And sending it back looks like a pita and they are going to charge me for shipping regardless. I think I will just take it to the Home School Cottage and see if Kelda wants to consign it.

I'm going to take our text books and stuff from this past year in on Friday. Time to clean and organize for the new year. We will start back to school as soon as everything arrives and I have a few days to flip through it and decide how best to proceed. I'm looking fwd to it. I have a 7th and a 3rd grader this year!

My bff here in LA has decided to HS her 3 (she has another on the way) and we are going to do art and spanish together, the kids are looking fwd to that part.

I know this was boring to all non HSers but sorry... lol Love ya anyway.

easy come, easy go

Well we got our prebate cashola on Friday and it is gone. Sigh lol

It went to all of the stuff it was earmarked for... a bit of debt and buying the school stuff for this year.

Nicole is bragging that she had blogged early and has tomorrows blog all ready to go in her fancy flock bloggy whatever. :razz

I can't think far enough ahead to blog today and write extra blogs. You are lucky you are getting this much. lol Oh, in case you were wondering, Cameron's rash is much better today.

day 2, not feeling inspired

Cam woke up covered in splotches. Reaction to amoxycillian or from the mouth virus is most likely. Hes on benadryl and feels fine.

Got our prebate $ today - woot. Going to buy all of the school stuff we need. bough some today, only have a few more things to get.

Tomorrow is the running of the ducks, hopefully it doesn't rain on us.

it's may first

woot day one... thirty more to go. Scintillating topics right out of the gates, yes?

I said I would blog for 31 days NOT that they would be anything you give a flying crappola to actually read. ;)

I'm toying with chopping my hair off again, not bald obviously but shorter. And possibly doing some unnatural coloring of the remaining shafts. hee hee I said shafts...

Anyway, it's all up in the (h)air but I'm sure before May is over I will have bored you to tears over it and possibly even decided something. yay
