1. my best friend and i went to see keith urban again on thursday, in tulsa. as always, he was FANTASTIC! :-)

2. as usual, we got lost, as we always seem to do when we go to new towns. lol. her map she printed off was wrong! and a hour longer than it was supposed to take us to get there...well we were finally there.

3. we found our hotel we'd reserved, which was a motel 6...but the hotel clientele looked a bit questionable, so we decided to find someplace else to stay. long story short, we stayed in a very pricey hotel, but it was also connected to the venue where he was playing, so we never had to get back in the car (because it was inevitable that we would just get lost again, lol)! thank GOD! my worry was that if we didn't find a place to stay that i would have to wear a jogging suit to the concert...that would have looked nice. lol.

4. so we got dolled up and then headed downstairs to the hotel lobby where there was a fan club get together (it was a pre-party). i have to say, it was not nearly as lively as a tvch meet. we sat at a table with 2 very nice women who were from kansas city. but they were really the only ones we talked to. it was an interesting experience. these ladies were much more reserved than i'd expected. we split a chicken quesadilla (kessa-dilla, lol) appetizer for dinner and i had 2 glasses of merlot. my friend had a long island iced tea. we'd eaten very little, so we both were feeling pretty good. :-)

5. the concert was fantastic, like i said. he just seems to get better every time. this time his voice sounded more rested...he always sounds good, but his voice needed a break from the last leg of the tour. my friend and i were not setting together. we were exactly 3 rows apart on the side section...very close to him on the side. one of the highlights for me was getting a nod and a grin from chad, a really cute guy in keith's band (the cutest guy except for keith, lol). i waved at him when he was looking right at me and he nodded! it was awesome! no one else was trying to get his attention is how i know he was nodding at me.

6. toward the end of the show, the final time keith came over to our area (i'd say that side stage was about 10 ft away from me) the girls beside me started cramming inward to get closer pics of him, so i followed. i got some really close pics of him. also after the show ended. there were 2 guitar picks left setting on the mic. stand on our side, so we waited and hung out for a bit, and asked security to give them to us...he did...we both got a guitar pick! what a great night. my friend said "i wonder when we'll get to see him again?" lol. we are ate up and we know it, but it's so much fun!

1. Great adventure, Jbean!

2. I had a jammie day today. Sinus headache and hives AGAIN! Got lots of sleep and I feel better.

3. I was asked to write some biographies for a national association's website. I was going to crank them out today, but it looks like maybe tomorrow!

4. I've been eating junk food due to those monthly munchies and water weight gain. My weight only went up a pound this time and I'm kicking the chips out of the house until next month!

5. I really liked all the twists on Survivor! I will be home to see it next week, but in Chicago the week after.

6. It was raining most of the day yesterday and today. QUITE soggy, and the ditches are flooding.

7. I got my reservations for Salt Lake City for my April conference. WHOO HOO! I've never been to SLC, and that should be fun. I'm thinking about going to St. Louis to stay at Harrah's next week on Wednesday for a free night. I'll have to see how caught up I get at work!

1. Sounds like you had a great time, Jbeanie!!!!

2. GO SEAHAWKS!!

3. We took the kids to the Home Depot Kids Workshop this morning. They made heart-shaped napkin holders that they got to screw together and paint. If nobody has ever taken their kids, you should!

4. It's the first Saturday of every month. The kids get their own orange apron and a pin for every project they complete.

5. This is the second time we have taken them and they love it. It really is fun.

6. I bought all sorts of food today for the Superbowl tomorrow...can't wait to pig out and be a couch potato!

7. GO SEAHAWKS!!

1. Who else is in the Superbowl?

2. We had a good time last night. Darren's big boss and his wife (another of the bigger bosses at the company showed up) so there wasn't as much work talk.

3. While we had socialized with the wife on occassions when she was married to her first husband, we'd never socialized with Darren's big boss. In the course of conversation they realized they had quite a bit in common, including, fishing and golfing and were talking about taking their boys and going out sometimes.

4. Big boss also found out we were not going to the family superbowl party cuz it was a little rowdier than we prefer. He invited us over to whats more of a family affair, bring the kids (there will be others around the same age,) little drinking, and folks just sitting around watching the game, the commercials, and the halftime show. Don't know if we're going yet because, well I'll get to that in a minute, lol.

5. Anyways, after dinner we went came home. Darren was just tired so he came home and he went to bed.

6. This morning we went out to breakfast and then went shopping at the mall for Caleb. For Christmas, Darren had bought me a jacket from Gottshalks and when I couldn't find another I liked I took a merchandise card and told Darren eventually I'd find something to buy.

7. Over the last two weeks, Caleb has ruined every pair of pants he has. So anyways, we headed to Gottshalks with the intention of buying a pair or two of new jeans. But, we walked in and saw that they were having a serious sale, 70% off. We bought him two pair of jeans and three pair of khaki's, 139 dollars worth of clothes, for $52.15! I was quite happy.

8. We bought the Wedding Crashers and ended up not watching it yet. From what I've heard it's probaly not the type of movie to watch while the kids are around and since we were on our way to pick them up, didn't have the time.

9. Darren's going fishing tomorrow morning with his mom and step dad. They have a pretty low limit, so won't be out for too long.

10. Sis called me about an hour ago to give me warning. They'd gone over to bil's brothers house for dinner, kids were doing great, then little niece laid down on the couch and went to sleep. Bil set down next to her and said she was burning up. 104.6 fever that they got down for awhile and is now back up. She said she asked Caleb last night if he was feeling well because he was really quiet and sitting on the couch not playing with the other kids (even though his boy cousins were over.) He said he was tired. When we got the kids home today he was whiney and even broke out in tears and we figured it was because he was hungry (they hadn't had lunch yet.) When he laid down on the couch and took a nap, I told Darren I thought he was getting sick and after sis called I went to check on him and he was running a fever. So tomorrow, we will be staying home instead of going anywhere for the Superbowl (and honestly thats the way I prefer it!) Totally sucks though, we made it through the entire week without anyone else getting strep, and while Caleb's not complainin about his throat and it looked fine, and sis said little niece's throat looked fine, I'm a little worried.

Morning all

1. Yesterday, we got snow again. Started to take kids to skating in the afternoon, but when the van started sliding towards the ditch and then I managed to get it back on the road, I said "screw it, this is not worth it" and turned around and went home again.

1.1 Went to neighbours for supper last night and we played Texas Hold'em. It was a fun night.

1.2 Kids slept in this morning due to being up late last night, we decided to go to later church if the weather clears up a bit and the snow plow finally decides to make an appearance on our road.

1.3 The television antenna is not working again today..grrrrr. We have had more problems with this antenna in the past half a year than we have had in the past 11 years.

1.4 For those that don't know I am starting my own business. Cleaning and organizing for people. If you go to this site to get some more information

1.5 I am still looking for a name so any help would be appreciated

1.6 It looks like after talking with our neighbours last night, she will hire me to do some organizing for her...woohoo my first client.

1.7 Have a great day all!!!

1. Darren's still not home from fishing. But, I have the house clean, laundry in the washer and dryer, and the spaghetti sauce and meatballs in the crockpot for meatball subs. I still have to make a dip and that's about all I'm doing for superbowl munchies.

2. Caleb is sleeping in my room now. He's been sleeping on and off and I finally sent him in to watch tv in my room because Kota wasn't letting him rest.

3. I got into mean mommy phase this morning and told Dakota if she doesn't clean her room and I have to do it, I will take everything. I'm so tired of her making these big messes and being fine with them. Wouldn't be so bad if she would just clean them up when she's done, but she seems more than happy to live with her own disaster area.

1. From above freezing temperatures and no snow in January or the first part of February, we got a bunch of snow on Saturday and sunday. Kids buses are cancelled this morning...not sure why, we have clear weather and stars out.

2. The snow plows have basically been sleeping all weekend, they didn't plow on sideroad until 10pm last night. No need for that since the weather is not as bad as they thought it would be. I have yet to see a plow this morning. You would think that with over a month of snow removal saved, they would be on the roads as soon as the snow flies. grrrrrr this makes me angry.

3. I have to go to the school this morning to work on the silent auction. I will be taking the kids with me and then I will be taking them home again with me since they cancelled the busses and I am not going to drive back into town later to take them home. I may go shopping or something if there i sonly a couple of hours left in school.

4. Dh and the kids were able to go out on the snowmobile yesterday. DH was happy to get out again. However we have no frost in the ground, so as soon as it gets warm again the snow will melt :-( . Like I have said before, its winter, so lets have winter and then when it is to be spring, be spring and stay spring :-)

4.1 Today would of been my fathers 75th Birthday..so to my dear dad (who I know is watching over me and my family) Happy Birthday, I love you and miss you, but know you are at a better place

Have a great day factoiders

1. Took Sam back to Urgent Care on Friday afternoon and he ended up having ear infections. Poor guy....I guess that's what all the screaming was about.

2. He progressivly got better trough the weekend and this morning had no freak outs before going to the sitters. What a relief! Crossing my fingers that he does not pick up another bug because there is still sick kids in and out of there.

3. Went to Old Navy on Saturday to look for Maternity clothes and they had nothing. Change of season. What a bummer.

4. Wargod I hope Caleb gets better soon.

1. Damn sneaky ear infections! I'm sorry Sam's got one, Spit, they are miserable. I hope he feels better quickly and manages not to pick anything else up.

2. Caleb spent most of the night throwing up. It's a blur to me, though I have a very clear memory of telling him to lean over the edge of the bed (where his bowl was) and not towards me!

3. At 6am he woke me up in tears. Said he was trying to take a shower but he just felt so bad he couldn't...well honey, you're not going to school forget the shower and get back in bed! My fault, I told him when I tucked him in bed last night to hop in the shower in the morning and forgot to tell him not to bother once he got sick.

4. Today I'm cleaning my living room carpet. And doing some laundry.

5. Darren's on 12 hour days at work for the week and the rest of the month looks like it's going to be busy for him as well. Won't be home til 5 today.

6. Guess I should go throw Kota in the shower and get dressed to take the girls to school. Think I'm going to call my nieghbor and see if she can phone babysit Caleb while I run the girls to school.

1. Hello Factoiders! It has been a long time since I have posted any facts about myself...even though I regularly lurk through the threads at TVCH. I hope everyone is well today. Wargod, hopefully the sickness haunting your house will leave soon!

2. I have been extremely busy with school this semester. There have been a lot of readings and papers so far, with more to come. Plus, to add to my workload I agreed to be a marker for one of the Psychology profs on campus. Now I get to invigilate exams and correct them all. At least it pays well.

3. My parents are looking at starting up a coffee shop in the next couple months. It will be a "neighbourhood cafe" that will specialize in lattes, espressos, etc. It will also serve muffins, soups, salads, and grilled sandwiches. It will have a few tables, couches, and a fireplace. There will be a "take one-leave one" area for books and magazines, and will also sell a few specialty items (fresh ground coffee, etc.).

4. They have asked me if I want to co-manage it with them when I am done school. They will pay me a salary and will help subsidize daycare for my boys. I think it will be fun, but at the same time I am waiting to see if my application into the Education dept. at the university gets accepted.

5. Either way, I will be doing something I will enjoy come May. It will either be working towards teaching, or running the family business (which will allow me to pursue my dream of freelance writing on the side).

6. Only one hitch with the coffee shop...I have never worked in such an environment (service industry) before. I do, however, have lots of retail experience. Has anyone here ever worked at a coffee shop? Could you stop by my folder and give me any tips?

7.Thanks...I will keep you all updated as things progress.

1. Serenity, I could sure use one of those espressos right now! Or how about a mocha latte... LOL

2. It's been a few days since I have been in here. Since my internet went down Saturday morning and we didn't get it back until last night, I missed quite a bit.

3. Turns out that the cable line going into the house had gone bad. The guy put in a new line and we're doing all good!

4. Today is day two of subbing my niece's first grade class. I will be here again tomorrow and then on Friday morning. It's kind of nice to have the same kids so much in one week, especially since they are generally a good class.

5. Tonight, I work at Dillons from 4:30-7:45. It's not going to be a long shift at all, but I know I will be tired when I get home.

6. I am a little bummed that I won't get to watch American Idol on time, but oh well. I well have my VCR set to record it. And I'll have a VCR set to record Gilmore Girls and Supernatural.

7. I must have slept wrong or done something cuz I have a sore neck. Hopefully I can stretch it out.

8. I'm ready for Thursday.. LOL I kinda hope I don't get a call to sub, that way I can have a day to relax since I sub half a day on Friday and then work 4:30 - 9:00 and then Saturday I work 3 pm - midnight.

1. Had a fantastic yearly evaluation at work yesterday! WHOO HOO!

2. I am going to Chicago next week for a conference. I am going with another teacher, and I am hoping that it will be fun.

3. We are going to see "Wicked" next Wed. in Chicago. I am sad that Ana Gastheyer is out, but glad to see the show again.

4. We are in the last row of the balcony, but the tickets were under $40 including the hideous Ticketmaster charges. Sheesh, it was about half the cost of the dang ticket!

5. It looks like snow for tonight. We have had such a mild winter that it is a shock to the system to have a cold blast again.

6. I wish that I could stay home today. Just feel like working on the computer. But, alas, I have a night class tonight and need to go in soon!

7. I should also practice. I am playing for two churches on Sunday.

8. Guess that means that I will wait two weeks to go to St. Louis. I was toying with the idea of going tomorrow just for fun.

9. I really like Star Trek and all the re-runs on Spike-TV.

1. i finally got my pictures from the keith urban concert uploaded. if anyone wants to see them, here's the link: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures...l?id=2109486781

2. work these past 2 days has gone reasonably quickly. when you have parts to build stuff with, it's easy to do your work. lol. that may sound like a no-brainer, but a lot of people at my work don't get it.

3. miss lola has been a very bad pottier these past few days. i'm thinking she's getting me back for leaving for a day. i can hardly wait to see what happens when i leave her for a week.

4. 5 weeks from today i will be on a cruise in the bahamas! i can't wait!

5. i ordered a bathing suit off of overstock.com. uh, remind me to never order a bathing suit that i haven't tried on. what a disaster! it was a cute suit though.

6. the last bathing suit i bought is a liz claiborne one, that i spent about $60, but it still fits and looks decent, other than the white straps aren't white anymore. i've gotten my money's worth out of it for sure, though.

7. tomorrow is going to be interesting trying to tape a show and watch 2 at the same time...idol is finally getting to hollywood auditions, then there is LOST, then there is also the grammy's...where keith is supposed to sing a duet with faith hill. sigh....that's pathetic that my life revolves around tv, huh?

8. i had a plain grilled chicken sandwich from mcdonalds for dinner...well, i put bbq sauce on it, so it wasn't really plain. they put them on wheat buns now...it was very good. i'll be eating apple dippers for desert.

9. i got this slide at work today that gives you what amount of calories you burn from doing everyday stuff. supposedly just standing for about 2 hours and 19 minutes, burns 300 calories. i don't think so. i stand all day, everyday, and should be burning at least 900 calories a day (on workdays, that is) if that were the case. i don't really see that happening.

10. gilmore girl time now! yay! :-)

1. Well, if that's true, JBean, then I just burned maybed 450 calories during my shift a Dillons, and with the 8 hours I'll be checking on Saturday.. LOL. I can only hope that's true?

2. I am SOO glad to be at home, sitting on the couch, with my feet up. I'm getting ready to have some angel food cake for dessert. :-D

1. I don't know how many calories I burned today, but I am tired! I walked on my treadmill for 45 minutes, then Jenna and I walked up to school to pick Jake up (it's about 3/4 of a mile one way), then we spent time playing hide and seek and tag outside this afternoon. I'm wiped!

2. The weather was absolutely gorgeous today, my thermometer said it was 64. After having something like 45 out of 50 days of rain, this is a wonderful change.

3. My new knitting project is dishcloths. I'm learining new stitches and they are fun to make. Yippee!

1. Caleb brought home a packet of graded work today. One was a set of papers of Martin Luther King Jr. Question #1. What is something Martin Luther King jr should be remembered for? Calebs answer, "He gave a speach." (spelling error his!)

2. We asked him how long they'd been studying MLK jr. He said the past week...a week and all you've picked up was that he gave a speech? Caleb and I will be going to the bookstore this weekend for some age appropriate books on him. He did say he knew MLK jr had fought for civil rights, but wasn't quite sure what all he'd done. Sigh...is he not paying attention in class or is history not a big subject to teach?

3. Fingers crossed, kids both made it through the whole day and into bed without feeling ill! I'm cautiosly opptomistic.

4. Today I cleaned my living room carpet, cleaned the rest of the house, and did some laundry. I don't really feel like I accomplished much because other than the carpet it really wasn't that bad.

1. Welcome to this thread Alwayzmovin!

2. And speaking of cleaning....ugh!, I spent an hour in dd's former bedroom (soon-to-be my sewing room) this morning. Glad War lives about an hour north of me...I'm going to War-nap her and hold her hostage until she Wars the former bedroom....hee-hee.

3. Can you say clutterbug??!! Oh my goodness...that child collected everything under the sun! Where was I when this was all happening?...heh.

4. I'm still tossing out a lot of her stuff and selecting the collectibles and major memorabilia to store for her.

5. I just know that she'll appreciate this labor of love someday down the road. Won't she??

1. I've got to tell ya'll bout my dinner experience since I was sitting here staring at my blisters.

2. Since Darren's been working 12 hour days I've been trying to have dinner done around the time he gets home. He's exhausted, he's hungry, don't want to make him wait long, and amazingly enough until tonight we've had dinner somewhere around 15 minutes after he walks in the door.

3. Tonight was beef stir fry, rice, and dinner rolls (oops, forgot to pick up egg rolls!) Fairly simple and fairly quick. I started cutting up the beef at a quarter til 5. By the time I finished, it was 5:15, no idea why it took so long.

4. Then I misjudged the time and started the rice later than I should have. Rice was barely starting to cook when the meat got done. So I took the meat off to wait for the rice.

5. Finally got that done, and threw the frozen stir fry veggies in to cook. By this time my rice was starting to get cold.

6. Finally, I took the rolls out of the freezer, stuck them on a pan and tossed em in the oven. Now, my cooking skills aren't the best but usually I can heat up some dinner rolls! Not tonight, oh no, nothing that simple. Somehow I burned the rolls, while they were still frozen inside. I was taking the pan out of the oven when Darren and Caleb walked in the kitchen and asked me something about his homework, I got distracted, dropped it and in a heroic move to save my crispy fried rolls, I reached out and caught the pan with my bare hand. It only took me about 30 seconds to realize I was holding a hot pan and Darren standing there staring at me because why on earth was I saving some rolls that had to be thrown out?????? It was after 6 before dinner was done, half of it was cold and I managed to walk out with three seperate blisters on my hand. I was feeling pretty bad that Darren and the kids (who'd had no midafternoon snack) had to wait that long to have dinner, and Darren and Caleb were feeling bad and kept apologizing because I'd gotten distracted with them and burned myself.

6.5 And this is why I should never be allowed in the kitchen under any circumstances.

1. Wargod I hope your blisters are better today. Sounds like quite an adventure you had making dinner.

2. Coco I have been reading about your new sewing room and how you are sorting through your DD's things. I think what you are doing for her is a wonderful idea and something she will appreciate for years to come.

3. I know from experience that I love looking through all my old things and remembering the good ole' times. Who doesn't?

4. Sam is finally back to his former self. What a relief!! He is in such a great mood and happy about everything.

5. Since being sick and not eating much for a whole week he is really making up for it. He has always been a really good eater but I can't seem to fill him up. Yesterday for breakfast he had an eggo, a handful of grapes and a large raisin bran muffin. This morning it was two bowls of hot oatmeal and half an apple. Last night a dinner he ate more than I did. Another side effect of being sick is to much sleep. He did not nap yesterday at all and was still in a wonderful mood. Doesn't sleep near as long at night lately either.

6. One frusterating thing for me is that I took the week off last week to keep him home from the sitters and not start the whole re-infection process. While I know some people cannot take time off as easy as me I find it extremely aggravating when others bring their children when they are really sick still. Monday two of the boys were not at the sitters because they were sick with a fever and cold, same as what Sam was last week. These boys had it last week as well but were not as bad as Sam. Anyway I go to drop him off yesterday and there they are. I ask if they are feeling better and she tells me that as mom was handing baby to her she was telling her how it was his worst night ever and he is still running a fever of 104. WHAT???? Why is your child not home with you instead of infecting the other 5 children? I was not impressed at all. Sitter has called the health unit to try to help combat all this but she needs help from us mom's. I'm all for it!! She says "obviously you are not the problem." I guess it just makes me mad that now after taking measures from trying to prevent other children from getting really sick it may come right back at us through no fault of mine.

6.a Spitfire, why does the sitter let a sick kid in? If you are licensed here, (to do private daycare) you can and should refuse sick kids. My sister can't even drop hers off with as much as a runny nose. That sitter has a responsibility to all the kids she watches and should not allow sick kids. It should be in the contract (assuming she has a contract.)
