1. Little league practice started today. I'll be talking about it a lot since it's going to take up most of our lives for the next several months, lol!

2. Caleb has practice on Wednesdays and Fridays for an hour and a half each day. Plus two games a week. Because each of the minor league teams has 13 boys on each one, they will have to rotate, 3 kids on all the teams will have to set out one game out of every four. It's not great, but it's what they have to do to make sure every kid who wants to play can play.

3. Dakota has practice every Friday and a game every Saturday morning. No sitting out for them, they don't even count outs or keep score.

4. This presents a problem. Darren usually does practices with the kids since he likes to help and because he works a lot of Saturday mornings and misses games. Now he's gonna have to chose between the two. Caleb's team needs more parental help, but it will be Dakota's games he misses.

5. I kept both my nieces today for a few hours. With the oldest one in school I don't get to spend as much time with her as I used to so it was fun to have her here.

6. I need to run to the post office tomorrow and I don't want to. I think that may possibly be my least favorite errand of all.

6.5 Eeyores, rising tuition costs....reason I can't go to school for fun or just something to get me out of the house a few hours a week anymore. I'd like to finish with a degree eventually, but I also enjoy taking classes for no reason other than they sound like fun.

6.6 Wargod, I think every person in the Western world should be allowed one free class per semester or year. I would take so many useless classes. I took a Canadian Politics and Gov't class purely because I wanted to know about that stuff, but it had absolutely nothing to do with my degree or future career. I also took a "Psych of Children with Exceptionalities" purely out of self interest. I can hardly wait until I'm a senior citizen, and we get free education. I'll be in so many classes!!

1. The tale of the bathroom continues.

2. I have a tub, with no pipes or water.
2.1 Yes, for those of you still wondering, it was definately sponge bath time at the kitchen sink. There I was at 1 am, in the pitch dark, crouched on my kitchen floor sponge bathing. Not a pretty sight...but I'm fresh!

3. I have a vanity and beautiful custom countertop, but it is not IN the bathroom.

4. I have wood slats for wall with big black exes on them. I believe this is where my lights and sockets are going, just first need some drywall.

5. The floor is also wooden slats, well with one section new plywood. That would be the section that our old toilet in on. Apparently, we can't put the new toilet in until the new floor is installed....and I'm not sure why that hasn't happened, but at least we have the black exes for the light switches! AND the toilet works. The fact that it is covered in falling insulation and has to be brushed off for each use is simply a minor inconvenience. Oh yes, I have new insulation.

6. I have a plastic sheet NOW hanging for a door. I appreciated this so much especially this morning, while I was using the bathroom. I think it was just after I had brushed away the isulation, when the work crew arrived. What a surprise they got when that plastic sheet was pulled back. I guess they didn't expect me to be still at home. But it does take me a little longer to get ready in the morning, when I have to wait for the kitchen sink to be cleared from breakfast, to wash my hair and brush my teeth.
6.1 For your inquiring minds, I blow dry my hair at the stove.

7. SO anyway, when I left the crew, or excuse me, rushed past them wrapped in a drop sheet, from the bathroom, they seemed keen to start their work day. I am off to a great start that is for sure. Fresh, feeling fresh!

Fondly
Wappy

1. Good morning TVCH!

2. Today is the first day I have finally felt like "myself". It takes forever to bounce back after a hospital stay!

3. I must say, I'm enjoying reading about Wapland's bathroom drama.

4. We now have a HDTV DVR digital cable box installed at our house. It sounds like a big deal, but it only affects a few channels. DH is happy about it though.

5. We're having a teacher luncheon today. Everyone is usually on good behavior after a good meal.

6. The snow has finally slowed down here, but it's super artic cold.

7. DH just called. He wants to go SUV shopping after school today.

8. He hates his car after being stuck in a ditch early this week.

9. One more day till the weekend!!!!

1. I got up about 15 minutes ago and so here I am with my "wake up" cup of coffee.

2. My "wake up" cup of coffee is extra strong and sits in a huge sized coffee mug...which holds about 20 oz.

3. Let me give you a few facts about my bedtime ritual since I'm still in this fog and wishing I was back in my bed.

4. After showering, I slip into a pair of comfy flannel pj's.

5. I also slip on these nice thick, warm sleeping socks.

6. I then go into a nearby cabinet and take out my thick Mexican blanket...the one with hues of blues and fringes on both ends.

7. I throw my Mexican blanket on top of our thick quilt blanket.

8. I then pull back the 4 inch layers of sheet, electric blanket, quilt throw and of course, my thick blue Mexican blanket.

9. I fluff up my two feather pillows and of course my huge elongated body pillow, which I hold close to my body.....I call it my "huggy pillow".

10. Then I gently and eagerly climb into my side of the king sized bed and use both hands to pull the thick layers of blankets over me...Ahhhhh, so nice and comfy.

10a. FYI, Egbob's side of the bed coverings consists of top sheet and the electric blanket. He will push the quilt off of him and it usually ends up bunched up between us...LOL!
(Egbob hates my bedtime ritual, and today I'll allow him to grumble at me because it's his birthday.)

1. I can't believe Eggie covers up THAT much living in sunny warm California!

2. Would it make you feel better to know that the temperature where I live when I woke up was 8° F ?

1. I love my electric blanket and the other 4 inches or so of weight on me when I sleep. Dh has the only 1/4 of the electric blanket because the one I use is suppose to be for a single bed. He also kicks the end sheets out, so I am tucked on my half and his half is untucked.

2. Wappy nothing like a sponge bath, in the dark, in front of your kitchen window in the middle of the night to make you happy

3. the sun is shining here today and it is a gorgeous day out.

4. Tomorrow dh and i are hitting the snowmobile trails for the day. If you can beat winter, you might as well join it and enjoy it. Hoping for this sunshine tomorrow.

Have a great day all!

4.1 I also have a huggy (body) pillow. DH hates it because he says I hug it more than I hug him (and he's right).

1. I am doing a SIX hour inservice tomorrow that is 2.5 hours away and starts at 8am....anyone volunteering to give me a wake up call?

2. I just ran off a pile of handouts and we are going to do music compositions with Legos and post it notes and some math things and reading things. Because of "no child left behind" EVERYONE has to teach math and reading, even the band director.

3. I hope they like the inservice. It's my first in Illinois and it's on the Illinois standards, so I had to do some studying. I enjoyed learning more about them.

4. I played my saxophone today for the first time in about 8 or 9 years. They needed someone for the teaching ensemble, so I squawked away!

5. I spent some time grocery shopping yesterday and bought things on sale and with coupons that I usually don't buy. Usually I spend about 15 minutes grocery shopping and get the same types of things. I got a bucket of Lloyd's BBQ and made a sandwich last night. YUM! And seven layer salad from the deli for lunch...double YUM! It's good to get out of the food rut!

Gotta grade papers for 2.5 hours and then head home for Survivor! Happy Thursday, everyone!

1. eggie, i don't like to be cold in my sleep, either, however i just sleep in sweats, and have the velux blanket next to my body, rather than the sheets, and also the comforter...oh, and now a chihuahua. lol!

2. today is my cat's birthday...she's 5, and she still very pissed about miss lola. oh well. i tried to sing to her this morning for her birthday and she got mad and made this evil-sounding meow.

3. miss lola got a hot pink purse to be carried around in today...it's huge compared to her, but she'll fit in it when she's grown up, too. also got a charm bracelet for a collar. it is shiny light pink with silver letters in her name.

4. my friend and i are going to the nashville star show on March 22! be sure and watch for us in the audience...granny, if you're reading this, i'll email you when i get home.

5. wonder if walmart lets you bring your confined animals in....we need kitty food.

6. lola got to sleep with me again last night. it worked out much better, with my back facing her, so she couldn't crawl into any spaces like my armpit...i slept much better, not fearing hurting her, and she slept soundly, too. yay!

6.3 are you guys sick of puppy stories yet? this is a learning experience for me!

1. Tara Update

2. She was released from the hospital this afternoon.

3. Her surgery went off without a hitch and she did amazingly well.

4. She woke up in the recovery room talking and drinking juice and when she got up to her room she ate some pudding and popsicle. We thought she was good to go.

5. Then the anesthesia and pain meds wore off...about 2 pm she was a wreck. By the time I left last night; she was totally out of it. In pain and very uncomfortable. I mean, the nurses were amazed when she was eating and drinking after her surgery...but then they were like...yup, this is how most kids that have tonsils out usually behave. Lethargic, in pain and mad at the world.

6. She woke up this morning in pretty much the same condition, but once the nurses got the pain meds coming regularly...she was back up and nearly to her usual self. By the Doctor came around to see about discharging her, she was good to go.

7. Now she's at home and in very good spirits. Its funny...with her swollen tonsils and adenoids out, she sounds like a different little girl. Her voice is higher pitched and it's really kinda strange.

7.a Now hopefully this will be the end of the surgeries...until this summer when they decide if it's time to do little more palate work on Zoe.

7.2 It's great to hear the good news about Tara! I'm sure she's being properly pampered and made a fuss over.

7.3 Yay for puppy stories!

1. I love your puppy stories, Jbean, they make me want to run out and get a puppy for myself but that's not gonna happen - we're already feeding finches, sparrows, ducks, rabbits and a very sweet kitty;

2. Nick, I'm glad to hear Miss Tara is doing well and home again - surely she's enjoying being fussed over, even if she doesn't care for the pain;

3. Marm, what's an "in-service?" and isn't there any way to get out of it?;

4. Colossus and I sort of got married again yesterday;

5. Apparently our wedding license wasn't nearly complete when the judge filed it, so we had to round trip to central Illinois to complete what we could, but there's still one missing signature. Sigh;

6. Mom and Dad met us at the courthouse, and Colossus advised my dad that "[he] had an easy out, but he wasn't taking it" LOL. I think my dad loved him alot right then;

7. At one point I wanted to reach across the counter and snatch bald the clerk who was "helping" us when she told us we couldn't complete the paperwork ourselves (this after I was told over the phone that we HAD to come back to Illinois and do this). I seriously popped off and then went out in the hallway to cool off (I can't get my driver's license or passport in my new name if the paperwork isn't fixed). Thankfully, I had a Mommy, Daddy and alleged husband to stay behind and talk reason with the poor woman. How old am I?;

8. Everyone in the hallway heard the commotion and were cheering me on as we finally came out of the clerk's office once and for all - they sincerely hoped that we were really married this time and wished us luck;

8.1 Colossus carried me over the threshold again when we got home, and said we're going to get married a couple of times every year from here on out. boy am I ever a lucky girl.
