1. My laptop WAS awesome - last night. For some reason today the router is giving me problems so I can't get the darn thing to work, and since I'm the MOST technically dense person on the planet it'll have to wait until Steve gets home.

2. I loved being able to watch TV and chat on messenger at the same time - it's been a while since I've been able to do that. When we moved into our house and set up our office we didn't put a TV in here, I don't even think there's a cable hook-up.

3. I'm looking forward to BB! Last year when I wanted to watch and chat at the same time I had to roll the TV stand out from our bedroom and down the hall to the office...thanks to our very long cable wire it worked perfectly, but was definitely a pain in the butt.

4. My cat Max is asleep on my lap as I write this. I think he's due for a bath - he's a little stinky.

1. Caleb's posters are coming along slowly. We'll get them done eventually. He's getting a little bugged by not having his door put back up yet, LOL. He goes into play and can't close the door to keep Kota out so until Darren gets around to doing them, we're pretending a door is up. If Dakota comes up, he'll tell her it's closed or open, lol, and she has to knock on the wall to see if he'll let her in.

2. I got into an argument with the cashier at the grocery store today. Then had Darren looking at me like I was nuts when I got home. Ok, maybe I am.

3. I ran up to the grocery store deli to pick up a chicken meal for dinner. It was $13 and some change. I also picked up cereal a few more items. When I got up to the checkstand the girl rang up my order and it came up to $17.38. I told her that wasn't right, it wasn't enough. She said she rang everything up, I said it's still not enough. Looked over and the woman who worked in the deli was standing there and I asked how much the chicken meal was, she said $13. I said between that and the cereal alone is more than $17 and thats not counting everything else I bought! She kept insisting she rang up everything, I kept insisting it wasn't enough. Finally she went back through everything and realized the chicken meal had rang up as $1 instead of $13! She said she couldn't figure out why I was arguing about it, $17 seemed fair for all I'd bought and thought I was saying she overcharged me. I kinda rolled my eyes at that, lol, at one point I sat there and counted out everything to show her $17 wasn't enough!

4. Darren said after the first time she insisted she'd rang everything up I should have said ok, grabbed my bags and walked out. I just can't do that, it'd be stealing as far as I'm concerned.

5. Only two of my nephews are coming over to play tomorrow. The oldest is with his mom and she has plans for him. Caleb's completely excited, Dakota not so much. She wants her little friend to come over and I told her later this week cuz that'd be too many kids here, especially since the weather is crappy and they probably won't be able to go outside.

1. We are getting ready to go to my mom and dad's for a few days. I am trying to get this house clean before we go, have to pack and go get the oil changed in the car. It is going to be a busy day!

2. Yesterday I took the kids to a new inflatable play/jump place that just opened. They had quite a few things for the kids to play on, big slides and bounce houses, obstacle courses...the kids had a blast and were exhausted afterwards!

3. I am going to call them today and book for Jake's birthday party in May. He is so excited!

4. Jim and I have been working feverishly the last few nights to get ready to pour the next part of our new foundation. Hopefully we will do it the weekend of April 8th. Has anyone ever replaced their foundation? It is alot of work! It has taken a couple months of work to get to this stage when Jim can only work on it in the evenings or weekends. But only one more side of the house to do then we can get new siding and windows and then start on the addition. It will be YEARS before we are done!

5. I just remembered that I have to set the VCR to tape Lost, Survivor, CSI and ER while we are gone, I don't think I can get all of that so I will have to call Jim's aunt to get one of those for us.

6. I am outta here for a few days.....have a great weeekend, Factoiders!!

1. YIPPEEEE>>>>>I got a 18K research grant yesterday! 10K for travel and a grad assistant and a student translator and some equipment! Salzburg/Munich/Berlin/Cologne/Mainz, here I come!

2. I'm still at my office waiting for a guest artist to arrive in town. YAWN!

3. TOO much stress lately, but good things are happening.

4. I enjoyed The Amazing Race last night. I am also enjoying "Big Love" on HBO, and of course Grey's Anatomy.

5. I have my office cleaned except for one corner by the bookcase.

6. It's warm enough that I ate my lunch outside today.

7. I have two students trying to finish their theses by the end of the week. Then we have to cram for exams and present all of our research at our national conference. It's a big month, even if you don't consider Easter!

1. Big Congrats to Schoolmarm!

2. Being relatively new here I'm still trying to figure out who everyone is and what's going on with each one.

3. So I guess Schoolmarm is in teaching?

4. It has to do with music?

5. Bookcases are prime property?

6. She's going to Europe!

7. How am I doing?

1. Welcome, Old Tex.

2. You are VERY good! I teach people how to be music teachers.

3. Today, I was nearly moved to tears by one of my methods classes. They taught today and they were OUTSTANDING. I was so proud of them, and they know they did a great job.

4. We were working on "doing more" and "talking less". Teaching by example and modeling. They were fabulous!

5. I just decided that I am buying them pizza for lunch on Monday as an unexpected reward. I can't believe that I will be doing that.

6. The guest artist arrived at about 8 pm last night, so it was late by the time I got home.

7. I will have two meals with him today. Panara bread and Hunan. Gift cards for both!

8. I hope I am home in time for Survivor tonight!

9. It is starting to warm up here! I turned on the air-conditioning in my office! <hoping to open that pool soon>

9.1 Ooh the pool Marm.....will be a about a month before we open ours. The date most people go by to open pools, cottages, plant flowers etc., is the May 24 long weekend (the week before your long weekend in May) Would love to open it early..love looking at the pretty blue water, cold or not.

1. I found diaper cupcakes online today! I was totally excited when I figured out how to make them, lol.

2. When I did my sisters diaper cake I had diapers and goodies left over that I threw into a bag and gave her.

3. With the cupcakes I could make the cake then take everything that was left over and make cupcakes....I like them!

4. I got the diaper cake mostly done today. Need to finish it off with ribbons and bows and place the ducks and pirate bubbles (those will come back off once I make sure they look ok.) It'll be easier to take them off and take the cake over then "decorate" it at the shower.

5. Dakota's little friend and my nieces are coming over tomorrow morning to play (which is why I started the diaper cake today!) I'm hoping it's nice out so that they can play outside. Little friend is bringing over her roller blades and niece is bringing her bike so they can skate and ride.

6. I wasn't going to have the baby come over but I know sis has a ton of running around to do getting ready for the shower so I offered to keep her.

7. Grandma stopped by tonight and told Caleb she might have some work for him to do tomorrow. That'd be nice, I know he doesn't want to stay here with all the girls, lol.

8. Both of my kids are still awake and being rambunctious. I'd send them to bed but I think they'd keep Darren awake more than anything!

9. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the house cleaned up (it's not a real mess, just needs a little work) and to finish the diaper cake and the baby album.

10. Then I can get back to work on Caleb's posters, lol. I don't think I'm ever going to finish those! I'm hoping once the kids get back to school that will give me a few days where I can work on those and nothing else and be able to finish them quickly. We also need to paint his doors this weekend. I told Darren that was his job because both need to be sanded down and I don't think my wrists will tolerate that. Then get the light switch plate and outlet covers and he'll be done! It sounds like I've accomplished nothing since last week in his room, but I really have, lol. I got his pictures hung up yesterday and earlier this week got all his legos and army guys seperated and put away. They're in little individual boxes, well we sorted them back out, then bought a two drawer stand that we put the plastic boxes in rather than having the boxes hidden under his bed or on his dresser. It's slowly coming together.

1. One of my grad students called last night with the news that he was accepted into the doctoral program (one of the top in the US) where I went. AND he got an assistantship so he gets paid to go! WHOO HOO!

2. I'm going to get my hair cut this afternoon.

3. It is raining today, and the ground is already soaked. There are puddles everywhere.

1. I'll post pics as soon as I'm done, Skootz. I'm really excited about the way the diaper cake and cupcakes have turned out. Also excited about the way Caleb's room is turning out and can't wait til I'm finished to post pics of that too!

2. Marm, congrats to your student!

3. LOL, Oldtex, when I quit work I worried what I'd do at home to keep me busy all day. Sometimes I take on projects and make stuff up just to keep busy because even after almost four years, I'm not used to being home all day everyday. This year I'm less busy than ever, the kids teachers don't need volunteers like they have in the past and neither of them is playing little league so I'm not running back and forth between school and the baseball field. I'm so lost with absolutely nothing going on, lol.

4. Well the weather is crappy today. Cold, breezy, and raining. I've got three extra girls coming over and I'd planned on two of them and Kota spending most the day outside! Ack, ack, I have a feeling by this afternoon I'm going to be a raving lunatic.

1. I posted a couple pics of the diaper cake and cupcakes in my folder.

2. Caleb's bored and has been telling me for an hour. I channeled my mom and told him it wasn't my job to keep him entertained and he had enough of an imagination to go find something to do. I know it's his roundabout way of complaining about the girls being here since he's been pretty vocal all morning about how miserable he is with 4 girls around.

3. The girls are having a great time. I'm glad I invited niece over to play as the three older girls are really getting along. I saw them long enough for them to eat lunch and the rest of the time they've been in Kota's room playing house and taking turns being "mommy."

4. I need to get to work now on the baby album. I'm still not sure how I'm finishing that!

5. Darren will be home in an hour. I'm thinking theres no way in heck he's gonna get a nap today!

1. i went to a baby shower of a friend today...i hadn't seen her since her wedding...in august 2004! it was great to see her!

2. she used to work for the same company that i do. she's the girl who's bachelorette party i went to and a girl in her party fell off a chair at one of the bars we went to since she was so trashed! it left a bruise on her chin...and the wedding was 2 days later!

3. i went to a place called the handbag and jewelry outlet today. it's been there forever and i'd just never gotten there. LOVE it! i bought a new omega chain (the one i had wouldn't stay clasped - it was the 2nd one i'd gotten from famous barr...the first one done the same thing, and it wasn't cheap!) for $2.93 and another flat silver slide-style necklace for $2.93, also...RG's pendants look great on them. i was terrified i was going to lose the pendants on that other omega. at least if this one breaks it was cheap! the store obviously isn't high-end, but there's some pretty cool stuff there!

4. i recently discovered the concoction of whipped cream (light) sliced strawberries and cubed angel food cake all stirred up together. i love the stuff. i'd never tried it like that, til after my sister's accident, when everyone was bringing them food....BIL's aunt brought that stuff...it's to die for!

5. my tan is gone already! i've been back from the bahamas for just 2 weeks and it's already gone. :-(

6. i signed up to do the relay for life again this year. my friend and i are the only 2 from our whole location that are doing it! crazy...and kind of sad.

happy weekend everyone! and don't forget to spring forward tonight. (i hate losing that hour!)

1. Reader, congrats to both boys! Looks like you and dd had a great trip too!

2. Darren and Caleb were up at 5 to go fishing. Darren said he pretty much got Caleb dressed while he was still asleep then just put him in the car, lol.

3. Altogher there was 8 guys (well 5 guys and 3 boys) who went. They caught 21 fish...Darren and Caleb caught 15 of them! Luckily he only brought two home, the other guys split the rest up.

4. They got home and cleaned their two fish then took turns in the shower. Caleb got out and even though it was only about 2 by then he threw on his jammies. He ate a quick, late lunch, then laid down on the couch and was out cold in mere minutes.

5. He woke up around 6, just in time for dinner. Said he didn't feel too good and didn't eat well at all. Spent the rest of the night laying around and then went straight to bed about 8:15 and was out again. He got burned out on the water and I know, oh how I know, lol, that the first few sunburns of the year leave you feeling pretty lousy.

6. It was so nice outside all day that Dakota spent most the day on her bike. The rest of the time she was making mud pies and was so filthy I made her wash up outside with the hose before letting her in the house to take a bath, lol.

7. It was beautiful enough that we bbq'd chicken and the two fish Darren brought home. Only him and Kota ate the fish (she declared it wonderful and tasty.) We also left the doors and windows open until this evening, just a perfect day out! Which is good cuz I hear we're supposed to get back to the nasty weather tomorrow.

8. Tomorrow we're going to clean up the house and set up a couple play dates for the kids later this week. This is their last week off school so we're going to try to have fun.

1. Sounds like you had a great day, War! We had a nice weekend too.

2. Friday night Steve and I went shopping for new outfits...we have a baptism next weekend (for my niece Emmy), and then Easter the weekend after.

3. I got a cute skirt and a sweater set, Steve got a new shirt and tie. The amazing thing is that I didn't try any of my stuff on in the store, I just bought it and brought it home - and it all fit! That NEVER happens!

4. After shopping we went out for dinner and drinks. We each brought home leftovers which we ate for dinner last night. I love getting two meals out of one!

5. Saturday we spent running errands - it was beautiful weather to start out but then got cooler and cloudier as the day went on but never rained.

6. Sunday was laundry day and I was able to hang some things outside to dry. While I was out there though I started noticing a bunch of things that need to be done.

7. We ripped out all the old, dead plants and shrubs in the planters along the side of our house and will replant them in the next couple weeks. We need to lay new mulch everywhere too.

8. I start my new job on the 10th. I'm excited, but also really nervous! I had to go to the uniform shop on Saturday to try on pants and warm-up jackets. They didn't have my size in the colors I need so everything had to be special ordered. I don't think they'll be in by the time I start my job, but I guess I can't complain too much since my new boss is paying for everything. I'll just have to wear my old scrubs for the time being.

9. Only three more days at my current job. Wednesday is my last and I only have to go in for three hours. Then I'm off for 4 days - Yay!

1. It's been so long since I've facted that I don't mind getting ten!

2. Today I subbed elementary music. It went smoothly, I was just tired. Must be that first Monday of DST deal.

3. DH finally joined the TVCH. He is jrs6494. In case some of you missed, he got an A on his assignment, 120/125.

4. We had a busy weekend. He worked Fri/Sat/Sun. I subbed Friday and worked at Dillons, 6-10:30. I worked Dillons Saturday and Sunday too.

5. Last night we went to Mom and Dad's for dinner. My brother cooked. He made these great stuffed pork chops and stuffed bell peppers.

6. At lunch, I put a load of sheets in the washer. After school I hung them out to dry. Then I vacuumed off our comforters and put them in one at at a time to wash. I hung the comforters out too, but I will need to dry both of them a little bit inside.

7. Also this afternoon, after I attempted to vacuum dog hair out of my car, I began wargodding the kitchen.

8. I am almost done with the kitchen. I have a sink full of my stoves drip pan thingies and dishes.

9. I have a busy week ahead. Tues thru Friday I am an elementary art teacher. Wed/Thur I work 6-10:30 and Friday 5-10:30. DH works Wed/Thur/Fri. We won't see each other Wed/Thur since he will be in bed by the time I get home from work! I work Saturday as well.

10. I don't know when I'll have a day off. I kind of hope that there's a day next week that I don't work at Dillons and that I won't get called to sub. I'm already busy Monday and Thursday.. OH well, the paychecks are good!

1. Hey I wargoded my kitchen today too, Saxy! Opened the fridge and caught a whiff of something so I took everything out, including shelves and drawers, scrubbed those and the inside and threw away Dakota's left overs (the child saves everyfreakingthing!) When I was done I kept going in the kitchen. I was hoping to get more done today than I did so that we could goof off tomorrow but I don't think that's going to happen. So one more day of cleaning and then we'll have fun time.

1. I have the day off...wooohoo - of course we have our insurance agent coming here at 10 am to go over all our insurance policies. Most in particular the new barn. He is bringing the owner with him too, so that will help if we have questions that our agent cannot answer.

2. I then got an email from my accountants office and I have a long list of items that I need to fax to them to get our financials done....this will be my morning.

2.1 I think this afternoon I will do some de-cluttering here at home in my office area. Everyone is so into spring cleaning here and I dont have any done as I am busy doing it for everyone else :-) - If I can just at least de-clutter and get a general cleaning done, I will feel I have accomplished something.

2.2 We are expecting snow today - we have had temps in the 60's now it is below freezing and we are expecting less than an inch of snow, windy and cool later today....I hate this time of year...I just want my spring weather back.

2.3 Miss being here as much as I use to, but I do read as much as I can.

2.4 I will be starting a new thread to get some input about a safe2tell in a new thread today. It is a program that is in the States that we want to have at our school. It is like Crime Stoppers where if there is a crime committed at our kids school, you can safely submit a "tip" if you know who did it etc., If you school has this, can I get some information on it, how it is run etc., Our school counsel will be starting this program very soon and would appreciate any input. Thanks

1. I need to be on the road to St. Louis to pick up three PowerBook cords for a coworker and myself. What a PitA. The campus store doesn't stock them and it is 5 days for shipping unless you pay through the nose. OK, drive 2 hours each way and the guy can look at my computer too! I will probably buy some other stuff too, as I usually do that at the Apple stores when I visit.

2. Had dinner last night with a piano student of mine from Indiana. She interviewed me for a class project and it was so great to see her.

3. I am really tired. I think that working 12-hour days has caught up with me. Didn't get much done on the weekend except for grocery shopping and getting the car out of the garage. My bod is just giving out in exhaustion.

1. It's been a gloomy couple of days around here. The weather has sucked. Yesterday was actually warm, but dark clouds, thunder/lightening and tons of rain. Today was freezing cold with rain, dark clouds, hail! and wind.

2. I found Caleb yesterday sitting on his bedroom floor looking totally miserable. Set down and asked him what was wrong and he said he missed Grandpa David and Grandma Denise. He was tearful and pretty down. I decided to screw the housework and we sat and played games all afternoon trying to cheer him up and sharing stories. Serious rainy day blues.

3. Today was much the same. The kids spent a while this morning cleaning up their rooms but both of them were pretty down. I cleaned up the house, then took them to the store and bought some stuff to make tuna helper, then came back home and cooked. We set up Monopoly and spent a couple hours til Darren got home playing. Then when he got home we played another couple games til dinner. They were in a much better mood this afternoon!

4. Tomorrow morning I have to get my housework done early and then run over to pick up Dakota's little friend. We're going to see if her brother has any plans and if not invite him over as well. He's a year or so younger than Caleb but the boys know each other from school and they've been trying to get us to let them go back and forth with the girls. So far I've been resisting it, thinking Kota needs her own friends and places to go but I'm also starting to think it might be a good solution, Caleb having someone over so he isn't pestering the girls or telling me all day how bored he is. They've invited Caleb to come to a baseball game to watch the brother play then for hanging out afterwards to play so this is kinda a let's see how this will work.

1. Both Kota's friend and her brother are here. It's working pretty well!

2. The girls have been in Dakota's room the last couple hours. They started out playing house, now they are playing with Polly Pockets.

3. The boys started out with video games and now they've gone to Caleb's room to play with pirate stuff.

4. You seriously can't tell there are four kids playing here! There's been no boy pestering girl or girl pestering boy, no complaints of boredom, no fighting, no screaming. The kids seem to be going out of their way to leave each other alone so they can play with their own friends!

5. This works out great cuz their friends dad invited both Dakota and Caleb to a ball game tonight so they're going to go hang out at the park for a few hours. Darren and I are going for a quick dinner, probably somewhere like Subway cuz I don't want to be too far away if something happens and we need to pick one or both kids up in a hurry. It'll be nice to have a few hours to ourselves and know the kids are out doing something fun too.
