1. 4:30 am, I'm wide awake. This is the longest I've ever taken to get rid of Jet lag...Today, I plan on taking a nap in the afternoon whether I need it or not. Maybe that will get me back on track!

1. Signed the kids up for baseball this morning. We were out at town discussing rather Caleb would have try outs today or not and get over there and they ask us if he wants to try out today or wait. Ack! 2. Today would be an awesome day to sit out and watch him play for an hour or so. It's 70 degrees, no wind, perfect for baseball. Our appointment now for tryouts..Feb 5, and ya just know it's going to be freezing cold and raining, LOL.

1. I'm going to a mardi gras ball tonight. It's one of the gay krewes here and they put on a campy, fun and crazy ball. 2. I'm going with my gay boyfriend and we're meeting my gay husband (as in the words of Carrie Bradshaw, lol - you'd have had to seen that episode to understand). 3. I can't believe I'm ready 15 minutes early. Have a great night everyone!

1. i got back home awhile ago from the movies (saw in good company, and liked it) and picking out a wedding gift for someone special. 2. i am pleased with the gift and hope the couple will be, too. guess we'll just have to wait a few weeks to see. 3. watched the forgotten this morning and liked it, too. it was different than i thought it would be. 4. the day by day calendar kiosks at the mall had all their calendars on sale for $3. so i bought a chihuahua one for my sister, an astrology one for my mom, and a siamese cat one for myself. lol, my girl must think the pics are of her, because she usually flips out when she sees other kitty pics. she is so funny!

1. We had fun last night. Went out to dinner and came home to watch Troy. 2. This morning we went out to breakfast and decided we were going to hit Costco before we picked up the kids then take them bowling. 3. Got done with breakfast about an hour before Costco opened so I sent Darren for a haircut. His mom called and needed help with something at their house. At first he told her no cuz we had plans, but I told him we could go to Costco and bowling later if he wanted to go. So off he went. 4. Big mistake, lol. Get to the bowling alley with the kids who are too excited only to find out that they were starting league bowling in 10 minutes and wouldn't be done til 9. Checked out the alley in the next city over and same thing. We're going to have to go next weekend in the morning. Kids were very unhappy, so we decided to take them to get ice cream and then go shopping so they could spend their allowances. They were still upset over bowling but were a little less unhappy cuz we still did something fun. 5. Brought them home and practiced hitting, throwing, and catching. Hint #1 when one of your kidlets has a hell of a swing, and the other has a great pitching arm....wear a glove and move fast! I'm pretty sure I'll have a bruise on my hand from catching a ball Caleb hit and one on my arm from a ball Kota through and I moved to slow to catch. Hint #2 when you're six year old has never hit a ball off of anything other than a tee, maybe teaching her some basic batting lessons before throwing a ball at her would be a good idea. She flung she hit the ball and managed to fling the bat at me at the same time, LOL. 5.5 Yesterday at the park the kids were tossing the ball around, everyone who talked to us asked if she was trying out for softball because her pitch was awesome. She does have some great throwing skills, she can throw the ball exactly where she wants it to go and has a lot of power. But, she's only six (so doesn't meet the 7-9 age requirement,) and has not had a season of coach pitch (the way to get around the age requirement,) so nope not this year. Besides which she needs more work with catching and needs to learn to bat a thrown ball the right way. Some of them seemed rather disappointed when we told them she'd have to wait til next season at least before trying out for soft ball.

1. My cat thinks that she is taking over the house ... ON THE INSIDE! She is supposed to be an outside cat. But, no! Meow, Meow at the front door..."LET ME IN". 2. So I'm the softy and let her in. She is now not content with exploring and marking everything on the first floor, but is now taking over the second floor. 3. What a boss! Usually she walks around and I can hear her. Tonight after about the SIXTH time of being let in, she ran upstairs and hid under one of the beds. She looked like she was just going to take her nap there. I had to get a pole to scoot her out. 4. So the old softy lets her take a nap with me on the sofa. I just put her back in the garage about 45 minutes ago. And here I hear her mewing at the front door again. BACK to the garage, Ellie! 5. To get outside, she has to go through a hole in the concrete block wall into the crawlspace and then through the ripped up screen to the outside after she has gone under the whole house. Then jump the fence in the back yard and come mewing at the front door. SHHHEEEESH! 6. Took a very interesting and good looking job candidate out for dinner tonight. I hope that he does well in the rest of the interview. He was our top choice going into this round.

1. The front veneer fell off on my 'canine' tooth yesterday! I have an appt. tomorrow to get it re-cemented. 2. I am ready to strangle someone over an old hospital bill for my dh. Coding issues. I thought this was all taken care of--hospital says it (4th time now) never got the fax from dh's doctor's office saying he sent him to the hospital (uh, Ed temporarily lost his vision and balance and his co-workers had to drive him to the hospital--AFTER calling his PCP who told him to go there.). I don't know who is lying or being inept but I did allow some steam to escape today. Not a lot, mind you, but enough. There must be 14 phonecalls on record at both the doc's office and the hospital. So irritating! Ok, I'm calm now. 3. I thought I'd call today and make a hair appt for tomorrow and realized that most beauty salons (and this one) are closed on Mondays. Duh. Oh well. 4. Went through the third round of rigamarole about the PT for my back. I'm going to crawl through the door on hands and knees pretty soon now to shame them into getting their acts together. 5. I love reading the bits and pieces of your lives here. Ddr's party, War's kids (gosh, you mean she didn't talk about cleaning!!!!) and Marm's kitty cat story. So cute and funny! 6. I have designed so many snowflakes on that snowflake site that I am seeing them in my sleep!! 7. Wanted to tell Babyruth that I will be 'raking' my car roof off today! LOL! 7a. Glad TVCH came back up ok without losing anything!!

1. Herckle, I was imaging ways to cut them in my sleep last night too!! Did you see the one that the girl did of a face? 2. They are delivering the windows for the townhomes today! Yay! 3. I submitted two resumes (I've never had a resume) today. One for the Chamber of Commerce, one for a florist in town. 4. I'm not sure why a florist would require a resume, since the position is not for a floral designer. 5. I'm not sure which job I'd want more. Or if I would even get an interview. But I have to find something. Can't sit at home the rest of my life! 6. It was vewy scawy when I couldn't get to TVCH this morning.. I may need a 12 step program. 7. I made a great Turkey with the trimmings dinner last night, but we'll be eating turkey for a week now! 8. I'm going on a date with DH tonight! woo hoo!

1. Woo hoo date night RG! 2. All you newlyweds, and soon to be's, take it from old married ladies (or at least one) date night is important! Even if you don't have kidlets, go out once a week or once a month, dress out, go somewhere fun. It's a terrific tradition to start early so that later on when you do have kids, or not, your used to date night and will work that much harder to have it. 3. Last night our toilet flooded. I ran to buy a snake since ours seems to have grown legs and ran away and by the time I got home Darren was on the couch, plumber's business card in hand. 4. Mr. Rooter came out this morning and snaked the main line, got it running again just fine. 5. Then they ran their camera down it. Oy. We've got a section of pipe around 12 feet long that has sunk or fallen or something. All of the joints in that area are twisted and slipping, allowing roots to grow. They want to dig up my front yard and replace it. 6. That wasn't the biggest problem though. Right where the line meets the sewer in the street is a huge crack and it's almost completely clogged with roots. They want to stick a high pressure water hose down and shoot them out. 7. Estimated price: $850 minus the $115 I paid today. Really not bad considering the fact that if they replace the whole line the estimate is $9,500. Could be worse I guess. 8. I have to go get another copy of Kota's birth certificate this week. Last year I had the dang thing for school registration, put it somewhere safe cuz I knew I'd need it for baseball and haven't been able to find it since. We got away with using a hospital birth certificate last year since our friend was president of the league, but he's not anymore so I have to have it. 9. My neice asked me yesterday if I'd pick her up on Friday so she could come make a cake for her mommy's birthday. I told her I would and that I'd make the cake while she was in school, then I could pick her up and bring her here to ice and decorate it, and get her home in time for her "suprise" party for her mommy.

1. I am making chicken strips and caesar salad. 2. Today has been a long day of sweeping, swiffering, mopping, and generally removing all the white cat hair from my house. IT'S EVERYWHERE. 3. It's a good thing I love those girls as much as I do, because I tell you... they sure leave a mess of fur on the hardwood. I can only imagine what used to get lost in the carpet. eeewww. 4. Interview tomorrow at 10:30. Its a second interview so I'm feeling pretty psyched about it. Hopefully I'll have a job on Monday morning!

1. After being really tired all day yesterday, I finally stayed up past 10pm and got up at 4:45, which is just a little earlier than usual. Hopefully this will kick the jet lag out of my system. 2. I thought that our job candidate did a good job. 3. I really like Crispy M & M s! 4. I'll be going to Peoria Wed-Sund...can't get out of this one! It's for the All-State conference. 5. I've always wondered about the phrase "Will it play in Peoria" and where the heck that came from. 6. I'll be staying with my folks both the night before and after the conference. 7. Cat is...oh, haven't checked yet...but at least she is not at the door mewing. Did I tell ya'll that I'm kinda of allergic to cats? I'm all stuffed up and she is just going to have to stay outside for awhile.

1. Good morning TVCH 2. It was harder than normal for me to get out of bed this morning. I could have used at least one more hour of sleep. 3. DH and I saw "White Noise" on Sunday. Great movie!! 4. If you like creepy movies, then I highly recommend seeing it. 5. We are going to see D.L. Hugley this weekend. I can't wait, I've seen his comedy act before and he's hilarious. 6. We're going on a field trip next week to see John Steinbeck's "The Pearl". 7. I hope the students behave because it's not the most exciting play. 8. Have a great day!!

1. I love hearing about Marm's "cat tales'! 2. I am stunned by all the snow pictures, I haven't ever seen anything like that. We haven't even seen a snow flake fall here this year. 3. I am so tired of snotty faces! At least Jake can blow his nose, Jenna just smears it all over her face and in her hair. Disgusting. 4. I am feeling reallly housebound today, but I just can't see taking Jenna out in public. 5. My sister was supposed to get married on Friday at the Justice of the Peace, but her boyfriend told her Sunday night that he was having an anxiety attack and couldn't get married and doesn't know if he can ever commit because of his anxiety issues. 6. I feel bad for her, this is the first time it hasn't been her screwing up a relationship. 7. We are 85% sure we are going to build onto our house instead of buying a new house. First we have to do some foundation work though. Yuck. 8. I think I will go teach the kids how to sort laundry. Doesn't that sound like an exciting day? 9. I am smoking some salmon in the garage, I need to go change the chips!

1. Jewels they are the perfect age to learn how to do that! Kids think it's fun. We always let the kids keep money they found in pockets too, so it was a great way to get them to check the pockets and sometimes they'd get suprised by finding something. Was also a great way to get hubby to clean out his pockets, lol. 2. I have to go to the craft store and pick up a couple things today, don't feel like going. 3. Also decided to have bbq chicken for dinner tonight, but have no bbq sauce so that's another store I have to go to and don't want to, lol. 4. Dakota's mad at me again today. I couldn't go to her class yesterday since I was waiting for the plumber. I made the mistake of telling her I'd come today. Talked to her teacher yesterday afternoon, her oldest daught, who's home from college is going in to help today, but could I come Wednesday. 5. She'll be happy tomorrow, but today she's just ticked. 6. Caleb has a feild trip Thursday. They're going to see a play (he can't remember which one.) 7. Darren's back to working 11 hour days. Plus he's doing an hour to two of work for his mom once he's done with his regular job. He came home last night, ate dinner, went to bed. Poor guy was just exhausted. 8. The kids and I are still practicing baseball. LOL, dad should be doing it but he's not getting home in time. Caleb asked me yesterday how come I was so bad at baseball, lol. I about fell over. 9. Last night, I finally managed to get in bed early. After fixing lunches, straightening up the kitchen, and making sure the kids homework folders were where they were supposed to be, it was only 11:30. Now if I can just keep up with it, lol. 10. The one thing I didn't do was set Caleb's glasses on the table. This morning we searched the house over and could not find them anywhere. We were late to school, tried on his spare pair to find they were badly bent, so he had to go to school without them. I have been tearing the house apart looking for them and can not find them anywhere!

1. Goody! I'm glad I only have to do one because there was just one thing I wanted to say! I dropped off my resume at the Chamber office today and as I was leaving I asked them if they knew when they would be calling people for interviews. He said, OH, I just recognized who you were! We'll definitely be calling YOU soon." Then we chitchatted for a bit about the job, and he said he thought I'd be PERFECT for it. It made me feel pretty good, that #1~ he remembered me from chamber business we had done in the past. #2~His memories were positive ones #3~ that he would consider me a good candidate since I've been out of the job market for so long (I guess I've never really been in the job market) The downside for me are the hours. I was hoping for an early morning (7am) to early afternoon position and their hours start at 1p.m. which is nappy time for me! LOL! I suppose I can work it out though... So keep your fingers crossed!
