1. Yipee just found out I don't have to cook supper tonight.

2. We are invited to our neighbours place to watch on their new big screen television, the final game of the World Junior Hockey. With Team Canada playing Team Russia in the Gold medal game.

3. They will pick up pizza for everyone on the way home.

4. I just phone dh, and he is looking forward to watching the game too.

5. Kids are excited because they can play with the neighbour kids again (this was one of the families that we went away for New Years with)

6. I now will have good kids for the rest of the day as they know if they are bad, they will not be able to go.

7. Tomorrow morning we are going to my friends house to have a "tea party" with all our kids. I am looking forward to being able to catch up with her as well.

8. All our snow has melted and it is mild here:-( so that has been a bit of a downer for the kids as they really don't want to play in mud. It has started to snow lightly right now, however after a couple of cooler days coming up, we are expecting above freezing temperatures again on Sunday. I wish we would just have a ton of snow and say that way until spring...then it can all melt and be spring.

9. Marm, your week in New York sounds like it will be very exciting. I hope you are able to get the tickets to the shows you want to see.

9.1 Ack, just got a call from our tenant, they have separated and have given their 2 months notice :-(. However, having to look on the bright side, they painted the entire house before they moved in this summer and have kept it clean, so we just have to go through trying to rent this house again.

1. I keep small trashcans throughout the house, Marm, but in the kitchen I don't keep any. Well, ever so often I'll put one in and it only takes me a week or so to remember why I don't keep a trash can in there, lol.

2. Whoevers turn it is to take it out seems to think that they don't have to take out the trash unless the can is overflowing. So we do without and they take it out to the big can every day.

3. Mom pick Kota up today and took her out. She'd told Dakota she had some chores for her and that she'd take her for a treat. So Kota went grocery shopping and helped put it all away with grandma and then mom took her to the bookstore.

4. She called me up and told me she was so proud of Kota, that her outloud reading was excellent and she could tell she'd been working really hard at it. She has improved a whole lot since the begining of the year, reading sentences instead of individual words and she's started to tackle harder books for reading outloud.

5. Caleb and I went and picked up a scrapbook for him and several sheets of boy stickers. We spent a couple of hours working on it together and had fun. We finished six pages, all of them he'd set up on his own.

6. I realized while we were working on it, I don't want my kids to get to that age where they stop wanting to spend time with me. I know I won't always be as much fun to be around as say their friends but I don't want them to decide I'm totally unfun.

7. I just saw a cell phone for kids. You can program up to four numbers and an emergency number, so they can't be using it to call just anyone. What a great idea! I going to look into that, not that the kids go many places without us, but they do go over to friends houses and stuff around the neighborhood.

8. Darren took the tree down today. My living room looks naked. Still haven't put the table back in there so that's part of it.

9. Tomorrow we're going to work on cleaning up the kids rooms and getting them ready to go back to school next week. Caleb has a little desk that was perfect for him a couple years ago but he's outgrown and Dakota has a small patio table she's been using. I'm considering swapping them. The desk is the perfect size for Kota while the table is big enough for Caleb, but not too big for his room.

10. I gave up caffiene awhile ago. While I still very occassionally have a cup of coffee or a mt dew it's usually only once every few weeks. Today I gave up sodas. Not as hard as I thought it'd be, probably because I'm not dealing with the caffiene withdrawls. Once I've completely kicked the habit, I'll probably do like I do with the caffiene, an occassional soda but that's about it.

1. I can't sleep!. Why am I up at 5 in the morning, when I am clearly exhausted from cleaning that stinking apt? I'm going to regret this later, today is moving day, and we're supposed to have flurries!! BUT, I did find my gloves today so I'm good to go. Flurries be damned!

1. Good morning factoiders! Boy am I glad the book I was reading last night mentioned drivers' licenses.. I have to get mine renewed today, it expires tomorrow!!!!

2. I am an elementary music teacher for the morning. I've been told I have like a 45 minute break in there, so that's when I'll fill out my little test. I'll go get my new DL after I get off at noon. :-)

Morning all

1. Well Canada won the Gold medal in the World Juniors hockey game last night. WooHoo. The neighbours tv made us feel we were right behind the glass at times. It is big. Now dh wants one rotfl, he knows that we will not get one for years as we have many other bills and things to worry about for the time being.

2. We have finally a fresh coating of snow on the ground and we had a bit of sun out this morning. Nice to see a white coating on the ground then dull, muddy brown crap lol

3. Got to sleep in to just past 8am this morning, it was nice since I never get to do that.

Have a great day all

1. Wow Skootz, snow? We didn't get any. It's darn cold here this morning though.

2. I love that DS is talking more everyday. He tries to repeat anything and it's so cute. The only thing I sometimes wish he didn't say is Mama. If I hear it 30 times in 1 hour I wouldn't be surprised.

3. In the morning when I get him up he now says "morning mama." Makes me want to give him a big cuddle right now.

4. No plans yet for the weekend. DH will spend time in the shop working on his cars and I have to take down the tree. Wish I had something interesting to do.

1. Good morning Factoiders!

2. I just learned that Saxy and I are birthday buddies! Cool.

3. I think I got too much sleep when I was sick over the New Years extended weekend.

4. I went to bed at 11pm and got up at 2am...and I've been up since.

5. Hmmmm.....let's see how my day at work goes. I see lots of coffee coming my way...lol.

1. It's little league sign up time here.

2. Told the kids they had to make a decision. Dakota said she wants to play both softball and soccer. I think they run the same time frame which would make it impossible. I know last year when we signed up for little league parents were running cuz they also had soccer sign ups the same day. I'll have to find out. If they run at different times, that'd be perfect.

3. Caleb's decided he doesn't want to play baseball this year. I told him that was fine but he needed to choose something, cuz he's not going to spend the spring and summer sitting round the house. He reminded me that dad told him as soon as it warmed up some they'd start jogging together, but said he also wants to try golf. I'm cool with that. Darren's told him before if he wants to take it up he could. Works for me, gives them something to do together and keeps Caleb somewhat active.

4. Hoping to sign Kota up tomorrow morning (they have signups every Saturday of January) but not sure I'll have cash for it. Still haven't gotten our atm cards yet, I didn't think to go to the bank yesterday, and I refuse to go there on a Friday cuz they're always crazy busy. If our cards don't come today I'll sign her up next week.

5. Darren gets off at 2 today. Kids are still in their jammies. I've only done part of my cleaning and still haven't hopped in the shower. Think I'm lagging today?

6. I've been sleeping like crap lately. Wide awake til at least 2-2:30, laying in bed for a few hours staring at the ceiling, and then getting maybe a couple hours before I'm awake again. This sucks. Right about now I'd give an arm for four straight hours of sleep in a night!

1. My dd's girlfriend that she grew up with came to visit her today. They grew up together in Orlando, FL. DD lives here in Myrtle Beach. Her friend lives in TN.

2. THey have not seen each other in 5 years. We went to Olive Garden for dinner. They use to go there alot in Orlando. She has no Olive Garden where she lives.

3. The 2 are going to put a video together for TAR. Keep your fingers crossed!

4. I am still doing inventory of the store. Hopefully, I will finish tomorrow.

5. THis was a great week, since work ended at 6 every day. I actually cooked dinner a few nights. DH and I are trying to eat healthier this year. More fish in our diet.

6. Caleb did 6 pages! That is great. I bet he was very proud of his work.

7. The lady that works for me, but has been off this Winter told me she only wants to work 1 or 2 days when she comes back. I do not think she wants to work anymore. She does not have to finance wise. She was such a great employee! That is how it goes. Good people are so hard to find.

1. Been Wargodding the house! WHOO HOO!

2. Put together one five shelf bookcase and discovered that BOTH bookcases will go on the wall with the entertainment center and that it will look like a whole wall unit. Mom is now finishing the back panel of the second bookcase.

3. This did entail us unloading the entertainment center and moving it over about 7 inches. Too bad I didn't have any of those furniture mover scooter thingees.

4. We have also taken out all of the boxes to the attic/storage room. It's a small room that the previous owner used for sewing. The furnace is in there and a bunch of shelves. No windows. We are organizing the boxes and utilizing the shelves better.

5. Now those boxes are all over the hall and in two of the bedrooms. I think that we emptied about 7 boxes yesterday. It's a start!

6, My dining room is now a rip snorting mess of papers! ACK! But it will be better after the second bookcase is assembled and some of that stuff can go on the bookcase.

7. I have made a nice path into the den. You really couldn't walk into it because of the boxes. Again, this will be much better after getting the second bookcase put together.

8. I'm done playing the organ until the 24th when I do one piece on a recital. Suppose I'm not really done, I should be practicing! LOL!

1. DD's DH went to prints out a TAR application for them this morning. He found out they were having a cast call in Columbia today.

2. THe girls called me and they came over to the store for me to take pictures and print them out for the apps.

3. Then they headed to Columbia. They were going to make their own video this weekend and had no idea that they were doing a cast call today. They were Jazzed!

4. They were so bad! They talked the people in front of them waiting to go home and shoot their own video. You get 3 minutes from home and only two there. They tried to talk others to go home, too.

5. THey are there way home now and they are still very excited.

6. A couple of ladies bought Las Vegas things and I asked them about their trip. THey went to see The Follies and hoped to see Janu from Survivor. She walked right by them in the lobby. THey said she was so nice to them. She took their address on a napkin and sent them her autograph picture.

7. I am still doing inventory. One more day and it will be completed. YEAH!

8. I am suppose to leave now to meet my husband for the movies.

9. Have a great Sunday tomorrow!

1. Yep, Kp, he got several more pages done today in his scrapbook. He's worried that once he goes back to school he won't have much time to work on it so he's trying to get as much done now as he can.

2. Our ATM cards didn't come yesterday or today. That sucks.

3. Guess I'll wait til next weekend to sign Kota up for little league.

4. Spent this morning cleaning up the house. Not as much as I'd have liked to have gotten done, but enough.

5. We taught the kidlets how to play darts today and taught them a couple games. We teamed up with them for a few games then sent them off to practice with the soft tips and board.

6. Darren and I spent close to four hours playing! We haven't done that in ages and I have the sore arm to prove it, lol.

7. I thouroughly whooped his butt. I've always whooped his butt at darts though so nothing new, lol.

8. I finally got the table back where it belongs today. It'd been there maybe two minutes when I turned around to find Dakota's toys, Caleb's legos, and Darren's tools!

9. For the past six weeks they've managed to not dump everything on the table, why couldn't they keep that up, lol!

10. Tomorrows gonna be a quiet day here. Darren's fighting a cold plus did a bunch of OT this week, so he's tired. And the kids need to get back into their school schedule. I kinda like my Sundays nice and quiet and just hanging around the house.

1. I am achy right now because I took a header and fell down the stairs. It was so stupid! I left the mail and some boxes on the steps and forgot about it. I was carrying big empty boxes downstairs and slipped on the mail/boxes and dove down about 4 or 5 steps. Banged my back on the edge of the wall and landed hard. I'm very glad that I'm not playing for church tomorrow. I am walking like I am 90-years old. But, the good news is that I don't think I have anything broken.

Empty box count is over 20! WHOO HOO!

1. i finally got rid of the awful sinus headache that started thursday night....it finally went away after i took 3 excedrin migraines this afternoon. blech! i hate those intense headaches.

2. today i took back a movie that i rented, and when i put it in the bin, i couldn't remember if i'd taken the dvd out of the player and put it in the case...so i had them check...good thing...no movie. lol. so i came home and did some stuff and was going to take it back, i took the dvd out of the player, and then i couldn't find the freakin' case! i searched this place and the car high and low and never found it. i took the dvd back, without the case, and they didn't charge me or anything...what a dumb ass....i still have no idea where the damn case is!

2.3 marm, i hope you get to feeling better soon...that sounds like something that would happen to me.

1. It's 12:30 am. I was having trouble falling asleep so here I am.

2. I took the christmas lights of the house today and finally put all the decorations up in the attic. I almost said "to heck with it", the lights can stay up all year. Will save me the trouble of having to put them back up next year.

3. Our washer quit the other night. We took the last little bit of money we had, went to the store and bought a new one. Tuesday is laundry day and when the washer quits on Tuesday...it's not a good thing. Three or so hours after getting home with the new one...it was money well spent.

1. Happy Birthday to Nic's DS! YAY!

2. I'm really happy that my Redskins won yesterday. They have surprised me this season. I'm overjoyed with how far they have gone!

3. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to set one goal, no matter how minor, every weekend and DO IT. My goal for this weekend is to clean out my car! Have I done it yet? Noooooo!

4. I started running again on Friday. I hope I stick with it this time. The farthest I ever ran was 4 miles in the fall of 2004. Yesterday I surprised myself by making it about a mile and a half. That is pretty good for someone who hasn't run seriously in over a year. I'd really like to run a 10K one day, which is a bit over 6 miles.

5. I am going to go to an AA meeting tonight. My first one in months. That's another resolution! I made ten and I could have kept going, but I reined myself in!

Happy Sunday! :-)

1. Happy Birthday Nick!

2. Hermi, you can do it! Cleaning the car sucks but it's got to be done, lol.

3. Hey guess what? I found Darren's ATM card.

4. Two weeks ago I seperated a pile of laundry and put half of it in the hallway. I was in changing laundry from the washer to the dryer and asked a certain someone to bring me the laundry out of the hallway. When she brought it to me I thought the pile was a lot smaller than what I'd left but when I checked the hall there was nothing there. I thought I was going crazy.

5. Yesterday I opened the linen closet and got down on the floor to search the bottom shelf for a table cloth. There was a bunch of clothes! Pulled them out, gave Dakota a lecture, and set the laundry next to the washer to be done today. Was going through pockets and there it was, along with my Costco card. Should have realized that was gone too, but our last Costco trip Darren went so I didn't bother to look for my card.

6. I'm about to go through the kids bookshelf and get rid of books they have outgrown. Younger nieces and nephews are going to be thrilled!

1. DH just left to go back to Ft Riley.

2. I don't know why, but even though I'll see him on Tuesday eveing, I cried when he left.

3. I had a dream last night that he had to go back to Iraq, it was really crappy. It's made me feel kinda blah all day, I think that's part of why I cried.

4. I love my doggies so much. They help me feel better when DH isn't here.

5. I am looking forward to watching Lifetime tonight. 28 Days is going to be on, and then new episodes of Strong Medicine and Missing.

6. I have to run a few errands soon.

7. When I am done with errands, I am going to put my jammies on!!

8. I think I might buy a movie, with some money I got for my birthday.

1. HEY! What's this with all the jammies today! *I'M* the "jammy queen!". LOL! I am NOT in my jammies, but it sounds like a good idea.

2. I met a new neighbor today. She is nice. Her two kids were selling Girl Scout cookies!

3. It is beautiful, but windy, weather today!

4. I am still sore from my tumble down the stairs, but I have only one little bruise. My knee doesn't like to bend, but it is getting better.

5. Found out that I will get my check for playing those extra church services BEFORE I leave for NYC! WHEW! That will pay for several shows!

6. I got my wireless printer to work! But only when hooked with the USB cable. I can PRINT! I've been a whole semester with just printing at the office, and that sucks! Had to buy new ink, though because the old ink dried up.

7. I keep looking at the wall of bookcases and keep smiling! It is incredible how good it looks.

8. I need to get my professional journals organized in my upstairs office. That will help the clutter downstairs.

9. I made really yummy pork roast in the crock pot. Just pork roast, onions, green peppers, chicken broth and a packet of Grill-Mates Mesquite seasoning! YUM!

1. Kady, don't know if this will help but here's my experience, lol. I have found that if I do the menus, make my grocery list off of that, and then follow it exactly, life is so much easier. I spend less on groceries and we tend to eat out much less and don't have to try to scrape up meals outta whatevers in the fridge and cabinets.

2. If I don't make a menu, I find myself stressing about what I'm going to make for dinner. I also put off making dinner as late as I can. When I'm going by a menu, I know basically how long the meals will take so I can start on time and we eat at a fairly consistent time each night. This week I'm only half going by a menu, I know what I'm cooking, I shopped by that, but didn't really plan when I'd do things. Tonight I'd thought about making beef stroganoff, but hadn't really thought too much about it and at 6:40 I realized it'd take over an hour to make! We ended up making frozen taquitos, and I'm not joking, lol, a can of corn.

3. Marm, I cleaned off the kids bookcase today (the one in the den not the ones in their rooms) and I can't believe how awesome it looks. The den even looks less cluttered. Kids don't have to dig through to find a book age appropriate anymore either. And I have two boxes of books, one to go to my sister's kids, and the others to go to my nephews.

4. We gave Caleb my craft table as a desk...sigh. He's quite happy with it though. He's got plenty of room to do his homework or artwork and also has room to play with his legos.

5. Dakota is also very excited about the little desk. It's just the right size for her and her room. She spent a couple hours arranging and rearranging her stuff in the drawers.

6. I ran over and grabbed the neighbors school schedule and brought it home to copy. The kids have 10 weeks of school and then they'll be out for 3 weeks for spring break. This week they have five days of school. Then the next five weeks they have at least one day a week that they're either out due to a holiday or teacher prep day or have minimum days. One week they have a holiday, a minimum day and a teacher prep day. This means out of 10 weeks of school they'll only have 3 full weeks! I'm going to be so confused, lol.

7. We're all prepared for school. Kids had their bath/shower. Clothes are laid out and lunches are made and backpacks and jackets are sitting by the front door.

8. After dropping them off at school tomorrow I have to run out to sis' house and follow her to the mechanics. Somethings wrong with the transmission in her car. I'll take her and the baby back home and then may have to go get her again if they get the car fixed tomorrow. Works out though cuz later this week she'll have to do the same for me when I take the van to get the seat clamps replaced, lol.

9. I spent all day in my jammies. Didn't even realize it til about an hour ago when Darren commented on it.

10. Tonight I will be in bed by midnight. Have no choice, I have to be up at 6:30 in the morning. I am getting so tired of not sleeping!
