1. Sam had a two needles this morning. 2. As I was getting him nekkid he saw the needles being prepared. He was watching her with wide eyes saying nooooo, nooooo, nooooo. 3. Did I tell ya'll that he has a temper? 4. So after he's nekkid we head on out to the hall where the scale is. I put him down and he starts to throw a major fit. I can hear people in the other room saying "oh my, what's wrong with that poor child?" Then the receptionist makes her way back and says "boy he doesn't have that red hair for nothing!!" 5. Back into the room....he's still freaking out because now he has to get measured and she has to listen to his chest and all that other stuff. 6. Right leg, one needle. Left arm, another needle. Both are not to bad. Some crying as the needle is given but doesn't last long. 7. Nurse says "great job Sam, we are all done." Sam says "all done?" He is immediatly happy and full of smile and says "thanks Patty." 8. So...note to self - SELF: BEING WEIGHED AND MEASURED IS WORSE THEN GETTING A NEEDLE.

1. It's so much fun reading about what you Factoiders are up to these days! 2. Jewels, Skootz, Spitfire and other mommies... I do enjoy the kidlet stories and I sure miss those days in my younger life as a mommy. 3. Knightpatti, your LV trip sounds like it's going to be fun and educational...in your business of hobbies and crafts, of course! 4. Me? Well, I've been a work-a-holic as usual, and enjoy my time spent with the high school and college students. In my job role, I have an opportunity to work with some intelligent and talented kids. 5. I've also been spending my evening free time reading up on my long held desire of learning how to make quilts and quilting in general. 6. What I've discovered recently is that I'm really into the colors of fabrics and I'm biting at the bit to get started with my creations! Instead of quilts, I may begin with a type of wall hanging project. I have this idea/concept in my head using Batik fabrics. 7. This weekend, dh and I will begin to tackle dd's old room and pack up all her "old" stuff. This will become my sewing and craft room...yay! 8. As soon as the room is emptied out, I will be ready to move in all my supplies which I've been buying and gathering since last summer. Our family room looks like a Michael's or JoAnn's...lol! 9. Can you tell I'm excited about this new avenue of my life? The artist in me will finally be set free...it's Coco Time!!

1. I have less than a month to crochet a baby afghan for my mom's non-profit organization's casino night fundraiser. I think it'll be put up in the silent auction. 2. Because DH's get out day is President's day, and that's a 4 day weekend for the army, DH will actually be home for good on Feb 16!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3. I wargodded my kitchen tonight. Currently, the stove thingies are soaking and the dishwasher is running. I need to wargod my living room. I will do a little of that while I watch Without a Trace. 4. I cleaned out the fridge. That of course made me take my trash out right away. 5. Today I taught elementary music. It was a pretty good day. I sent one kid to the office for being disruptive. I was in the same classroom on Monday, and I sent another kid to the office. Let's see if I can keep all the kids in the classroom tomorrow! THat means they have to be respectful and keep their lips zipped at the proper times! 6. I had dinner at mom and dad's tonight. Mom had a meeting at 6, dad had to work ER at 6 and my sister in law was already at work. So, my brother and kids were there (my brother works at mom and dad's and mom watches the kids). I made sure to be there in order to clean up for mom. And it's nice to not eat alone! 7. I voiced my thoughts of going to sonic for dessert, and my brother said if I went to Dairy Queen, he'd pay, so i said, "of course!" 8. I was driving back to mom and dad's and my best buddy, Darin, called and he proposed to his girlfriend tonight!! YAY!!! 9. I don't work til noon tomorrow and I am REALLY looking forward to sleeping in. I don't plan to get up earlier than 9:30. And I hope to get to bed by 1 at the latest tonight. Hopefully that will give me a full night's sleep! 10. DH will be home for the weekend tomorrow. I absolutely cannot wait! It has been a VERY long week (I don't know why), and I just need a BIIIIIG hug from my sweetie!

1. Hope you are feeling better Vacanick after a day off. I have a sinus/cold thingie too. The kids coughing on me for the last week didn't help lol. 2. Going to chiropractor this morning with kids, will be good to get an adjustment as it will help with our colds. Then I am taking mil shopping today (groceries) after 2 kids are dropped off at school. Then I have to get home clean and get ready for the weekend. Laura's birthday party is on Sunday with 9 kids coming.

1. My little sister is turning 30 tomorrow. 2. My little sister who is turning 30 tomorrow is freaking out! She is absolutely positive that she is going to wake up tomorrow and life will be over. She was only 1/2 serious. 3. I have done no housework yet. I don't plan to do much either today, lol. Cleaning up the kitchen and the living room is it. Tomorrow Darren has to work so I'm doing big cleaning then because I can get the kids to clean their rooms while I'm busy. Today I'm just gonna take it easy, do a little shopping later on, and veg!

1. Didn't get home from shopping with my mil until 1:30 (I had lunch there) 2. Had to go to the barn with dh after that. We had to move pigs and they can be very stubborn when they don't want to go the direction you want them to go. 3. I just made it home in time for the school bus i.e. I pulled in the driveway, parked the van, got out and the kids came off the bus. 4. I am exhausted. I could of used a nap this afternoon instead of the barn...but work is work. I have now all my groceries to put away, empty dishwasher, have supper (perhaps I should make it first lol it is after 5pm here) and start kids homework. I am ready for bed now...hmmm this is going to be a long night...perhaps some caffiene is in my near future lol

1. Is it bad to say I hate a certain class that comes in when I sub for music at this one school? BOTH 5th grade classes are absolutely awful. They never shut up, they're rude and snippy! And I'm not the only one they're this way with. What is the world COMING to these days???? 5th graders are supposed to be fun and lovable, aren't they?? 2. The 1st and 2nd graders I had today were chatty, but good. I guess it was a chatty day for the whole school. 3. The 1st and 2nd graders LOVED The Remarkable Farkle McBride. And the regular music teacher left me pictures of instruments so I could further a lesson from the book. 4. The first 5th grade class watched a movie. I was going to have the 2nd watch a movie, but the VCR was being STUPID!!! So, I pulled out Farkle. It didn't settle them down, which is a shame. I was NEVER so happy for school to be over! LOL 5. DH was here when I got home from school. That was a nice sight, seeing his car in the driveway. 6. At 9 am tomorrow morning, I go in to dillons to fill out paperwork and do orientation and such. Should be such a *fun* filled morning.. LOL

1. I am watching the news. 2. I have to go tutor my English As A Second Language student tomorrow. 3. Two of my three students finished their course work today for their diploma. They have a test next week then start their seven week placement Feb 13, hand in some more assignments that can only be done on placement and write a final exam. Then they can graduate. I had one student who graduated in December. The Graduation ceremony is sometime in the Spring. 4. The other student just began the course so she joins the five students that start on Feb 6. 5. My arthritis is really bad lately. 6. I need a haircut and also need to colour my hair. Hopefully next week I can do that. 7. I should go to bed soon.

1. i found out thursday that i'm going to have a nephew! my niece is actually excited, because she realized if it were a girl, she'd have to share all her toys. lol 2. i got a new cell phone. it was a free upgrade from cingular, and of course signing a new contract. it is a nice phone and all, but i kinda miss my old school nokia. the last 3 phones i've had were nokias and i never had ANY problems with them. this one is a samsung. that makes me a little nervous. 3. today i went to the annual greater ozarks garage sale (LOL) at the eplex on the fairgrounds. this was about as bad as going to the fair. there were SO many people that you could hardly get through! ozarkians take their garage sales seriously. i bought a new pair of sunglasses....you know the imitation ones for $5. 4. i got my $97 passport in the mail this week. you know, the one that i don't need anymore for the cruise (the law has been pushed back another year), but didn't get pushed back til i already paid for it. sigh. oh well. can't do anything about it now. 5. i downloaded the saints and sinners bingo game off of yahoo last night. it's addictive! 6. i cut my bangs today and go them a little too short. not so short that it looks like i've been in a farming accident or anything....just a little shorter than i wish i'd cut. 7. it could happen to you was on tonight...what a good movie, even is total BS, lol. 8. 6 days til keith urban in tulsa....woo hoo!

1. Sis' surprise party was fun today. 2. She was a wee bit upset. She had told me a few weeks ago she thought her hubby was planning a party, but as time went by and no one mentioned it and she didn't see him shopping, she started to get worried. 3. Then this morning, when no one called her, she was sure nothing was happening. When a friend called and asked her if she wanted to go shopping, bil says she actually stomped out of the house to leave, lol. 4. She was quite surprised to see everyone there. 5. Kids were funny. They had a bunch of toys and stuff to do and they spent the entire time outside digging holes. 6. Here's a pic of Kota at the party:
7. And Caleb, I had to crop out my nieces:
8. Brought the girls home with us. I had to run out and get the youngest some pull ups cuz she was out and while I was gone, she screamed the entire time. Poor baby was just exhausted. 9. Once I fed them dinner, and got them in jammies, it was over, lol. Youngest niece only ate a couple bites before she put her head in my lap and passed out. Got the older three in by by 7:45 and they were out cold by 8. I'm hoping they'll sleep late tomorrow because all of them need it! ETA 9.5 Looking at those pics, yes thats a pimple on Kota's chin! She's also got several blackheads. Sil, who works for a dermatologist is supposed to get some samples from him, a soap thats gentle enough for a younger kid, but will help clear that up. Poor kids been breaking out like that for about six months now, dr says just to use soap and water, but it's not helping.

1. Dakota did something yesterday that brought tears to my eyes, lol. Soccer sign ups were last night, and Darren and I had been debating rather to sign her up for this session or wait til June. At that point, Dakota hadn't known about it so I figured we could just not say anything and she wouldn't even realize she was missing it, until her teacher sent the flyer home. So she's been reminding us daily that it's soccer season and she needs to go. 2. Well yesterday morning I told her we were going over at 5 to sign up and that if she enjoyed soccer, we'd sign her up again in June. She looked at me and said, wait mommy. They play soccer in the summer?? I said yep. She said, so if I wait a few months, I could play when it's not cold outside? Yup, I said, you can play now and you can play later, later it will be warm. Hehe, she said, mommy, I want to wait til June, I didn't think they played when it was warm, but I'd rather do that! I almost cried, lol. I hadn't mentioned the temps at all, for five years we've done little league when it was freezing cold outside, sitting there in sweatshirts, coats, and with blankets still shivering and willing to do it cuz the kids were having fun but hating every second of the freezing temps. I hugged her right then and there, lol, for the first time in years I'm not going to have to spend part of the winter and spring freezing my ass off at practices and games! (Though if she really wanted to play, we'd be sitting out there anyways.)

1. Yesterday, dh and ds#2 helped me to start tackling dd's old room. 2. OMG!! I didn't realize she had so much "stuff"! 3. I'm now in the process of gingerly packing all the "stuff" she asked me to throw away. Call me stupid, but someday, she'll open these boxes and not only find some collectables, but lots of fun memories. I also took pictures of her old bedroom to put into the boxes I'm packing. 3.1 My new sewing room is well on it's way to being created...yay!

1. I am back from our state conference, and my university just simply DOMINATED it! WHoo Hoo! 2. I have a fan club and a bunch of groupies. It is funny. I couldn't eat dinner, or walk through the exhibit hall without someone coming up to me! 3. My sessions went really well. I hope that I get some call-backs or school inservices or new grad students from it! 4. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about the whole thing! It feels really great to have established my reputation in my home state. My high school band director said that I was a success story. I also saw the junior high band directors from when I was in high school. He was in shock, too.

1. Congratulations, Marm, sounds like it was a great conference! 2. Sis and I made plans to go to the mall tomorrow to shop for kid clothes. 3. I called her about an hour ago to find out what time we were going. She told me she wasn't sure she was going to get to go as my oldest niece was complaining about her throat hurting and running a small fever. Told her to give me a call in the morning and let me know because I need to finish my grocery shopping and I'd like to do it before we go. 4. Few minutes ago, Dakota came out of her room crying. Her throat hurts. She's warm. Sigh...I should have known. We left them with sis when we went to shop at Costco and when we picked them up she was really grumpy and tearful. She also went right to sleep when she went to bed, which is really unusual for her. Hopefully it's just a quicky kid sickness and nothing too serious. 5. We spent almost 200 bucks at Costco today. LOL, I knew I was low (ok, completely out of) groceries but I didn't realize it was that bad! Oh well, I have enough breakfast and lunch foods to last at least three weeks, and meat for probably the same. Now I just need to finish up at Vons.

1. Thanks Becky. We've had a pretty good winter with her, she's had a couple short illnesses, but compared to most years she's stayed fairly healthy so far. 2. Dakota's been funny (or not so much.) She keeps waking up, sits up and says something that I don't understand, then she giggles at herself, lays down, and goes back to sleep. I know she's awake cuz at one point I went in and sat with her and she sat up and talked to me about playing with my niece earlier today. I don't have any idea what she's saying when she giggles at herself, and neither does she it seems. 3. You've only got what, one more day, Becky? Tuesday right? Wish you could get some sleep. If I remember the last of pregnancy, it's pretty uncomfortable to do much of anything including sleeping1

1. I just had to come here and express my thoughts and feelings. 2. CocoMan and I just got back from the hospital where my MIL was admitted for dehydration due to nausea, etc. She's on IV fluids and will be re-examined in the morning. Docs are thinking she's dealing with a virus. 3. CocoMan is spending the night with his Dad at the homestead. I'm holding down the fort here. 4. Having both our parents up there in age, we knew times such as this would eventually come into our lives and although we felt prepared to deal with the hospitalization of a parent, we really weren't. 4.1 I'm off to bed and hoping that tomorrow will bring good news.

1. {{{{Coco}}}} It is hard when parents are ill or hospitalized. My mom is home again from hospital, however, my fil has taken another step back again. 2. We had Laura's bday here yesterday until 2pm and then we headed for sil's to celebrate 5 birthdays. 3. Fil was not feeling well in the morning but decided he wanted to go in the afternoon. After supper he went into the washroom and after he was finished he needed a chair as his 02 had ran out. He was white and shaking. 4. After about at least half an hour we had him then sit on a coaster chair and he came back out (we rolled him so he didn't have to walk) to see everyone for a minute then he bil took him home. 5. He said that he is not going out again. I don't blame him...He was pretty scared that it was going to be it right then and there. It sure was scary for him and us. 5.1 We left later and got home around 8:45. I went to bed around 10:30, but didn't get much sleep last night. 5.2 On a brighter note, Laura had a blast at her party yesterday. I somehow miscounted the kids coming..I thought there were total 12 with my kids, but it was 13 (my niece came part way through and it made it 14. I couldn't figure out why we didn't have enough chairs until I looked at a paper and re-read who was all coming lol. 5.3 I also misscalculated the time from when we got home from church until the time of the party. I had in my mind that I had 2 hours from the time we would be home from church to the time the party started. So I had to do everything I had planned in 2 hours in 1 lol. 5.4 It did all turn out ok in the end and I think the kids all had fun. Have a great day all!
