1. I'm so tired I may actually end up in bed before 2am tonight.

2. Darren got sent home from work today being sick. I thought he just took the day off, but he actually went in and came home an hour later...sadly I had no clue til I got up this morning!

3. He's got a sinus infection, we spent all day in urgent care to have that confirmed. Dr said that people have been getting this cold and it's lasting too long and causing infection. Darren's been fighting the cold for like 2 weeks now.

4. Tomorrow will be the first time in over a week I won't have my nieces over. Love having them here but I'm tired, lol, and I haven't been able to do any of my errands or grocery shopping!

5. Kota informed me today that she has a book report due Friday that she hasn't even started on. Luckily as long as she has read the book, her teacher keeps the book reports themselves fairly short. She's doing hers on Lisa Leslie, a WNBA player.

6. Caleb hasn't had homework this week, they've been doing testing. LOL, his teachers wrote in his daily planner to let me know!

7. It was so cold today sitting out at the park for Kota's practice! I was ready to go sit in the car when they finished up, lol.

8. Heh, Dakota was out there today, they were practicing catch and Dakota's partner was one of the coaches teenage daughter. By the time they finished, that girl knew Kota's whole life story, I was cracking up. I thought leave it to my kid to be out there chatting...then I started to pay attention and realized all the girls were really chatty. They're just too cute out there with all their pink and purple gear playing ball and chatting.

9. I've been doing stained glass lately. It's hard on my wrists and I really have to limit how much I do at a time (believe it or not just squeezing the bottles of liquid lead and paint will leave my hands shaking after about half an hour) but it's a quicker hobby than beading and cheaper. I've done some stained glass paintings for Kota's room, finished a large one for my nieces (which I think turned out awesome,) and am now working on two for Caleb, one is a dragon in battle and the other is the knight that's battling the dragon.

10. Tomorrow I hope to spend most the day at home cleaning and then kicking back. I might run a couple errands if I get some free time after my nephew goes home.

1. Woo hoo is right! We LOVE IT! Found it at Toys R Us. Got the system there, Wii Play at Sam's CLub [wish we would have just gotten the remote now, only liked 1 game], nunchuck at Wal-Mart, games 1/2 off at Target.

2. I have NEVER beaten my hubby at a video game before. I smeared him in Bowling! He had to play 3 times, and I just got better and better each time. And golf. We won't talk about boxing tho. *L* I really do feel bad now about not talking him out of getting it when he got his Chrismas bonus. We played all the games on Wii Sports and Wii Play.

3. Warming up here. It's gonna be 12^ today. 33^ tomorrow. Had to call my niece who lives 3 hours away and tell her not to come visit. She, her 1 year old baby, her friend and friend's 1 year old baby were coming today and leaving Sunday. Major snow & ice storm expected Sunday, might be here Saturday. She was like it will be ok we can make it home. SO hubby called her and said not to come. She might be a mom and almost 19, but she still thinks like a kid. I'm sad cuz I thought I was gonna have a weekend with babies. But better they are safe. I really didn't want them to come with the temps being so cold anyway.

4. Hubby's got a 3 day weekend. Woo hoo, Daytona 500 Sunday, other races Saturday and Friday, and Wii the rest of the time!

1. Yay Serate! We've had the Wii since Christmas and it's still used daily. It really is pretty neat.

2. We have several games but to tell the truth I couldn't tell you what most of them are. We mostly play the Wii Play and the Wii Sports (love the Wii sports!.) Darren and the kids love bowling but it's something we can't do for real as a family because of my wrists, but with the Wii it's something we really enjoy.

3. I should have mentioned the remotes and stuff the other day. If you want something like that and see it somehwere, snap it up! We've had more trouble finding the remotes and the nunchucks than we did the Wii itself. We did finally find the second remote and two nunchucks but have had trouble finding anymore (we'd like four of each and another remote charger.)

4. Little adopted sis called a while ago. Her hubby has to report to jury duty this afternoon so he can stay with the baby while she works and she'll get off before he has to leave. So little nephew isn't coming today.

5. LOL, I'm not too sad by that. He lost Darren's keys yesterday and I'm going to have to tear through the house to find them. Wasn't looking for to that with his "help."

2.1 I have problems with the Wii Play games - they hurt my wrists. Except for the riding the cow hitting the scarecrow game. I LOVE it. And gives me hope that just maybe I might be able to play racing games with my hubby.

3.1 No probs with remotes and stuff here. But then again when you and others were looking for the Wii they had them all over here. We will need at least 1 more set of controllers if not two. Trying to decide if we're gonna get any Gamecube games. If so we'll save about $10 a set if we get the set of remote, nunchuck, and gamecube controller at Sam's club.

2.2 I love the cow game, lol! I could sit all day and watch the kids playing that. People can say what they want about video games but this has really been a help to increase family time around here. We still play board games and go out together or sit on the couch for movie night, but we've increased it to also play time...something the whole family can do together.

1. Morning Factoiders! Let me (ahem..cough, cough) see if I can get this numbering back on track.

2. Today my neices' baby daughter turns 1 year old and I'll be attending a huge birthday bash for the lil princess...should be fun!

3. My favorite sister and her dh came down from Lemoore to attend as well...yay! I enjoy spending time with my favorite sissy.

4. DS#2 went up to the local mountains to serve as a Co-Director of a church High School Winter Camp. He'll be back late Monday.

5. I took my EggieMobile in for a major tune up and repairs. After $1,000.00 it's running really GOOD!

6. Harley is now 3-1/2 months old and he weighs as much as Dixie at 8 pounds. He's a mini doxie but I'm thinkin' he'll grow to be a middie, kind of between a mini and a standard. I'll keep you posted.

1. Hi Eggie! We got our puppies right around the same time, and while I can't give an exact weight, I can tell ya she's put on a couple pounds at least since PJ came to us. She's still not all that big (at least compared to Harvey, lol) but it is noticible that she's gained some weight.

2. I need to take my minivan in. Alarm went nuts today and wouldn't turn off. Nissan was closed today (and tomorrow) so I have to wait til at least Monday if they're open for the holiday.

3. Caleb gets out of school at odd times, I can't ask anyone to just pick him up while they pick up their kids. Dakota's got softball, Darren works weird hours and has classes, I have to take care of my aunt...I can't be without a car! Even a couple days will mess me up. Darren said if neccessarry he can change work hours for a few days and car pool, but still what a pain.

4. My nieces came over to play today. The weather has been so nice I've been able to take the baby out and set her in her swing to enjoy the fresh air. She really, really likes it.

5. Sis took our kids home too when she got ours. Date night! I was so frustrated after the car trouble, and both of us are just worn out, that we decided to stay home. Darren picked up Italian and came home and we set on the couch eating and watching a movie. Few minutes after he finished eating...he went to sleep, lol.

6. I think date night will turn into date morning. I'll also have to clean aunts, finish cleaning my house, do laundry, some shopping, lol, but we can have fun in the morning!

7. I'm so tired, I really need to go to bed. LOL, I think I'm too tired to get the dogs moving and turn off the lights and walk that far!

1. Dakota's not feeling well again. Sinus issues mixed with asthma issues (she sounds like a 112 year old smoker.) We've been really keeping up with the sinus/asthma meds trying to keep her from getting an infection.

2. She did make it to softball practice today though after discussing it with her coach decided she'd skip any running. She wasn't happy with any of us about that, especially since she got stuck doing sit ups while the other girls ran a lap.

3. They've been doing pitching/catching work since practices started. The only time they've touched a bat so far has been to use them as markers for where to stand while pitching. The plus side of that is that every one of those girls has made some great progress! I was pretty impressed watching them throw from such distances with good accuracy.

4. Kota

5. Since my nieces were with us, they went with us to the park. Caleb took the older two girls to the playground and we hardly saw them until it was time to leave.

6. The baby spent the first half hour sleeping, then woke up and I took her out and sat her on her blanket on the ground to watch the girls. She had such a good time just sitting there!

7. baby

You can't see it, but she's really not sitting up on her own. My feet are under the blanket behind her bottom, lol. She is only five months old.

8. Poor Darren was so exhausted tonight. He got off work and fell asleep on the couch for about 20 minutes before we left. Then came close to falling asleep at the park. Unfortunately, after practice, he had to go to a study group and didn't get home til 7:30. He barely made it to bed. He's still not feeling great after his sinus infection and I think it's beaten him down more than he thought it would.

1. Hello......anyone else here??? I hope everyone is having a great week!

2. Dakota is sick again. When she got home from school, she was burning up. She's been coughing/wheezy, nasal congested for a few days (could be just sinus stuff, allergies, cold, etc., I've been leaning towards either her sinus infection never completely cleared or she's working on a new one.) When she got home though she complained about her throat and ears which confirmed for me it's sinus infection. We'll have to go to the dr tomorrow.

3. She had to miss practice today and was pretty upset about it. I told her I'd rather her miss today, tomorrows a day off, then have her get even sicker by being outside playing and have to take more time off. She agreed.

4. Since Caleb joined the anime club, he's been doing all kinds of drawings at home. I'm impressed...he is doing very well! I'm so glad to see him doing something at home that he enjoys outside of his video games and legoes.

5. My nephew was very cute today. He didn't come over yesterday since his daddy was off work. When I got there this morning he was standing at the screen door waiting for me. His mommy opened it and he ran all the way out, arms waving in the air and then launched himself at me. He's dang lucky I caught him!

6. Cuz my wrists and hands are really bad (the right one much worse right now than the left.) Of course, he was being too danged cute to drop.

7. Two younger nieces were back. The baby cried for an hour straight and wasn't happy with anything I did for her. Finally had to put her in her swing and let her cry herself to sleep.

8. Middle niece was helpful. She watched and played with both babies and helped with some housework. I think she has the patience of a saint, lol, not only was she helpful but she put off some things she wanted to do like coloring til nephew went home.

9. I'm tired tonight and thinking about going to bed early. I need to get a bunch of laundry done tomorrow, most likely take Kota to the doctor, and have all three little ones coming at some point. It might be the last day the girls are here for a few days and I told middle niece I'd help her work on an art project.

5. Today is Hootie Hoo day. Elementary students go outside right at noon and holler "Hootie Hoo Hootie Hoo Hootie Hoo" to chase old man winter away. Since it's -5 and the high is supposed to be a whopping 4, I sure hope it works. IF the kids get to go outside.

9. My husband has put his transfer on hold for now. Company doesn't want to lose him so offered him a couple places to transfer to. He's decided to take this office on as a challenge and try to get it straightened up.

2. My niece called to day and said she was sorry for being such a baby about us telling her not to come visit last weekend due to weather. Maybe she's growing up? She should be since she has a 1 year old.

4. Youngest bonus child wants to come live with us. She's more than welcome, but I want her to make sure it's what she really wants, not that she got into a fight with her birth vessel. Me thinks she's just upset with her birth vessel and bv's pretend husband. It would be so easy for me to say crap about the birth vessel, but I know I'm doing the right thing by just being bonus kid's sounding board. I love her so much.

1. Decided to keep Eggie on her toes. *L*

8. I really really REALLY need to clean house today. It's been awhile.

10. I'm at my wits end with Jack. Whenever he gets the chance, he tries to bite Eddie and Zippy. Zippy so much wants to be his friend but doesn't like to be bitten. He's bigger than Jack, but Jack's teeth HURT.

6. We're really loving our Wii. We rented Winter Games from the video store. I have't played it cuz we can't figure out how to do 2 player. But watching hubby it's too physical for me anyway. Love watching him "figure skate".

3. The ice is pulling the gutter off the front of the house. Hopefully that's all the damage that's being done.

7. Iwannabefromkentucky!

2. We are supposed to get more "winter mix" tonight. That means snow and ice layered like a lasagna!

3. I still don't have the big branches from four tress that crashed down in LAST weeks "winter mix" cleaned up yet. I'm going to need some help with that!

1. Yay! Hi people! Serate, you're too funny!

2. It's been raining and hailing for the last couple hours here.

3. I went to get Caleb from school and all the streets near it are flooded. I felt so bad for all those kids having to walk home. Both corners of one crosswalk were mid-calf deep (and wasn't much better anywhere else.)

4. He was supposed to have track practice but it was cancelled. I left to get him on time, but was actually late cuz when I was getting in the car, I reached over to grab my seatbelt and slammed my sore, swollen hand into the stearing wheel. I had to sit there for a few minutes oohing and aahing and waiting for the tears in my eyes to clear.

5. I'm gonna end up having to go to the doctor I think to have it checked.

6. Eggie, you didn't happen to pick me some puppy food up too did you?

1. I thought that the eclipse was really cool, too!

1. Loved the eclipse too, but what I thought was even more amazing was being able to see Saturn's rings through our telescope. So cool! It looked like a little white diamond in the sky. I've never seen anything so amazing.

2. Haven't been in the Facts thread in a while, glad you guys are keeping it up!

3. Ah, geez, just realized I have to do 10 facts.

4. I joined a gym about three weeks ago. I've lost only couple pounds, but have definitely lost some inches. Yay! I've been going MWF at 5 a.m. That is tough!

5. Jake and Jenna are doing good. Jake is doing great in school and just got the student of the month award for his class in math. He also has a little crush on a girl in his class, even made her a special Valentine. It is so cute.

6. Jenna is as feisty as ever. She told me a while ago that she was kissing boys at school. Oh great, she's 5! We put the kabosh on that pretty quick!

7. I am making Jenna and I matching aprons. The only thing I have ever really sewed before is curtains, but I have finished Jenna's already and it turned out great. She is so excited. She loves to cook with me. Now I need to find the time to make mine.

8. I want a jammie day.

9. Jenna wants me to play stuffed animals with her. While fun, she likes to be a little bossy when we play. Ugh.

10. Can't remember the last time I did 10 facts. Happy Thursday, Everyone!
