I think about 27 TVCH aunties should accompany Maris's son to Ireland this summer to make sure he is okay. :-)

1. Maris, I hope he has some fun in Ireland and gets to do some sightseeing (this won't be his first trip there though will it?) And good luck on the SAT's!

2. Dakota got player of the week at her softball game today (it's kinda like student of the month, they all get it, though they do try to give it during a game when the kids do something good.) She slid into third base, was safe, but walked away with another battle wound. Somehow she slid in on her hip and butt and now has scratches and another bruise.

3. It was a good game, they played hard, there were hardly any walks or bad plays on either side. Kota's team won 12-11, but they had to fight every step of the way to do it.

4. I want to have a quiet day spent doing nothing and know I'm not going to get it anytime soon.

5. It got to 95 degrees here today. We don't have the swamp cooler up and running yet so it was pretty miserable!

1. Best of luck to Maris's son on his SATs.

2. Congratulations to Dakota! Even though they all get it, I'm proud of her. Keep on slidin', sister!!!

3. I think I have a special place in my heart for the Pacific Northwest, rain and all.

4. I miss Pcakes2.

5. I wish I could have gone to Spinning tonight but had to get my roots done.

6. I am accepting an award on Thursday and can't have dark roots!!!

1) SATs - go everyone's kids! These are tough.

2) War - don't know you, but your Dakota is a go getter, isn't she. War, wounds are part of softball for us chicks. High "5" to you for being there!

3) I worked 11 hrs today - but, that's mostly because the boss (last fri.) told me to pick a "free" day off & Wed. is the easiest for me.

4) Frank met "boss" today (my new - from hell - boss of 3 months). He said "Man, what an ass"

5) I've been trying to convince Frank that "boss" isn't as assy (i made up that word) as he seems.

6) Frank says, once an ass - always an ass.

7) MEN - "boss" is a real a-hole but he respects me & depends on me (he even wants my opinions) Co-workers are jealous of the bond I have with him. MY MAN - Frank, such a kind hearted good natured person. I LOVE my man & put up with my a-hole "boss".

1. Congratulations on the award Yankee!

2. Deb, ick on the 11 hour work day. Those really suck.

3. Thanks guys, and lol Deb, she is a go getter! Kid never stops going.

4. She's one of those kids who's right smack dab in the middle of her team. She's not new to the game and knows what she's supposed to be doing, but hasn't mastered all the skills yet...which is perfect since she has at least another year, maybe two, in minors. She's soaking up everything they're teaching her right now.

5. We had a little chat today. Softball season will be over in 6-7 weeks and we were wondering if she wanted to try soccer. I told her she could try that, but just cuz softball season was over it didn't mean we had to stop going ot the batting cages or practicing catch at the park or home. If she wanted to, she could spend summer and fall building up the skills she'd learned. She really impressed me when she said, well, I like soccer, but I'd rather spend the time on softball!

6. I am sick, dang Darren. He took today off work again and still isn't feeling much better tonight. I do feel some pity for him, but not a whole lot! While he took two days off work and got to spend most of those days in bed, my sick day is like any other. I ran errands, cleaned, took the kids to and from school, and watched my nephew.

7. I'm feeling worse tonight and tomorrow is going to be even rougher. Aunt to the doctor, kids back and forth, nephew, and Kota has a game and Darren has class so I have to go.

8. I need to get the pups a wading pool. PJ has decided their water dish is a great place to sit. Harvey isn't too impressed with that, lol.

1. I really want a puppy.

2. I am a sucker for pizza, and I want it right now.

3. I'm a little bummed we have one of my bf's former frat brothers coming into town this weekend since my bf and I JUST got back (last weekend) from a vacation with a lot of his old fraternity class. (We're still pretty young, but enough!)

1. I am ready for June to get here! Fan fair in Nashville is exactly one month from today! I'm so excited!

2. I have been trying to lose weight now since the beginning of the year. While I haven't lost very many pounds per se, I am losing fat, because my clothes are getting bigger on me. Woo hoo! My weight had gotten way out of control, and I knew I had to do something. I just get tired of feeling hungry for so much of the day. It just doesn't seem right!

3. Brooks & Dunn are gonna be at Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, OK (LOL, I know, Florida wannabes!) along with Kellie Pickler and Rodney Atkins on May 30. I actually won tickets to this show from one of the radio stations this week! Thank God! My friend and I really wanted to go, but the tickets were like $55 EACH for general admission(!!!), and with it being 5 days before fan fair, it just wasn't do-able money-wise, so this worked out really well.

4. I have been in a really pissy mood lately. I think it's because it won't get warm (and STAY) around here! I'm really sick of the cold. And I think I'm ready for a vacation, too. My job sucks. I was so pissy and irritated on Friday, that I took the 2nd half of the day off. I just couldn't take it anymore.

5. I took Lola to the park that afternoon, and we walked for awhile on the trail. Or I should say, I walked the whole way. I thought it was unfair to make my 4.5lb dog walk so far, when I was already tired, and I'm a whole lot bigger than her. She loves the park though. It was fun.

6. This morning I bought some junk at wal-mart, and ended up spending $43. Crazy. Lola got a new harness in disguise of a shirt. It's so cute. I will post a pic in my folder in a bit. She hates clothes and collars and stuff, but it's a lot easier to get that velcro thing on her than her regular harness. So funny.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

1. I took Caleb, Kota, and my two older nieces to the batting cages today. For $20, each kidlet got four tokens (80 balls each) and had a blast.

2. Some of the guys from our minor league team were there batting and Kota sat and watched them for a while before she went to hit. Maybe it was watching them, but she was doing awesome! I think she missed six or seven balls altogether.

3. Caleb and my nieces did pretty good too. Even the little one hit several balls.

4. Tomorrow is Darren's first day back to work in a week. Love my hubby, don't really enjoy him being home sick, lol.

5. I'm sorry you still have cold weather Jbean. Ours has gotten warm enough we've been bbq'ing and spending a lot of time outside. The nights are still pretty cool though.

6. Star testing is over and the kidlets go back to a regular school week. They've only got five more weeks to go til summer break, and Dakota is still on track for perfect attendance.

7. All week I've been going to bed pretty early for me (around midnight or 1, Wed night I was in bed and sound asleep by 10:30!) Last night for some reason was just horrible trying to get to sleep. Somewhere around 4:30 and then I kept waking up. I finally gave up around 9.

1. Work is almost done. Yay!!

2. Bought my bedding plants today (on my lunchhour). Will put them in tomorrow night while little one is with his dad.

3. Was fingerprinted this morning. Had a break in at workplace and my office was the prime area..I'm the keeper of the petty cash..little bums got away with about $100.

4. I've eaten a few too many tootsie rolls today

5. My kittys limping cuz he got in a fight with a SUPER HUGE Siamese.. There was HAIR everywhere!

6. Wishes we had Chex cereal up here in Canada.

7. Having a big BBQ lunch here at work tomorrow, just went out and bought all the fixins at Costco.

8. Had to tape up several pages of Goodnight Moon today, my little guy now thinks it funny to tear his books...Or maybe its just to hear his mommy squeal Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

1. Cinnamon, you're little guy will eventually learn how to treat books right, but it sure does get to ya to see them tear a book!

2. After last week of going to bed at decent times, this week has totally sucked. Last night was really bad, I only got about 2 and a half hours of sleep.

3. Darren totally ticked me off today for 2 reasons. First, on Friday afternoons during the school year, we get the chance to have an hour and a half or so of alone time. Dakota doesn't get home til 3:30, Caleb has anime and isn't done til 3:45, and Darren's off at 2.

4. He called at 1:30 and told me he was on his way home. LIttle "adopted" sis came to get her son a few minutes later and we sat and chatted for about an hour. When she left, I realized Darren should have been home about half an hour before. Called his cell and he told me he was window shopping. Uh oh. For what? He was at the Honda dealership looking at new cars. Argh. This is about the only time we get the house to ourselves, the only time we can sit and talk without being interrupted, and considering how much time I spend with kids, I really look forward to that and he knows it!

5. Second reason I was upset...he knows dang well we can't afford a new car right now. We put $1,500 worth of engine work into his car not even a year ago cuz we knew we wouldn't be able to get a new one. It runs just fine, except the a/c doesn't work that great, we've had no major problems with it, it gets great gas mileage, and most important, it's completely paid for. Last couple months, he brings up the idea of a new car on a regular basis and I always feel like the big, bad meanie having to tell him no.

6. I've had a migraine since Monday. Everytime I think I've gotten rid of it it comes flaring back badly. It's made me very grumpy and irritable.

7. We are moving into our busy party season. We have been invited to six parties (and can't say no to any of them) between tomorrow and the third weekend of June. Only two weekends we don't have plans yet...May 24th and we'll be doing something for Caleb's birthday and the weekend between mine and Darrens birthdays in June. Won't slow down any either...2 birthdays in July, new baby either in July or August, birthday in August, a couple in September, then 4 in October. Sigh.

8. Dakota's asking to go to the batting cages Sunday and work on throwing and catching at the park. She had two practices cancelled this week and wants to make up for it.

9. We have four weeks of school and softball left before summer break. Dakota still has perfect attendance (YAY!) It was close this week, she went to bed Monday night feeling lousy and woke up Tuesday feeling not much better. Seemed kind of blah, her nose was runny, throat a little sore, but she insisted on going to school.

10. Hubby had some teeth pulled yesterday. I was shocked that nobody checked my ID when I dropped off/picked up his script for Vicodin. He normally gets his meds at the VA hospital, and I don't go to doctors, so it was the first time we had ever gotten scripts at Hy-Vee.

9. Yesterday was pretty rough for him. I refused to eat anything but pudding because that's all he was eating. I was so hungry.

8. I didn't sleep much last night as hubby has severe sleep apnea and couldn't wear his bi-pap mask so had to sleep w/o being on the bi-pap. I was afraid between the Vicodin and not having his bi-pap he would quit breathing and die.

7. I called the VA Hospital today and asked what we could do for the next week or so and they had me come get a replacement for the mask - called nasal pillows. No mask, just goes into his nose, so no pressure on his mouth. He seems to be sleeping alot better tonight, so maybe I'll sleep.

6. He feels much better today. So does my tummy. I made a very soft meatloaf, mashed potatoes, baked beans, and rolls. He ate about half of what he normally does, but that's ok I think I ate his half.

5. Hubby's so funny. Yesterday when he WAS in major pain or doped up, he wouldn't let me do much for him. Today now that he's much better he thinks I need to wait on him hand and foot.

4. Jack won't be separated from his daddy. Can't understand why Daddy won't take him outside.

3. Lucky for him he's minding when it's comes to him getting around hubby's face. Eddie is a different story. He keeps trying to head butt hubby. So the cats are locked out of the bedroom at night for a couple of days. Not fair to Zippy but oh well.

2. Youngest bonus daughter called and I was talking to her and she called her birth vessel a f'n b===h. We had major words - the worst we have ever had and I told her to apologize or I'd get off the phone. So she says "Mom serate says I need to apologize for what I said so I guess this is it." I tried not to laugh. And was glad she said I told her to apologize, even tho it wasn't really an apology. Actually I couldn't care less if she apologized or not, but felt that I needed to tell her to cuz I was the adult.

1. Can't wait until she's 18. I'm not stupid enough to know that we won't ever see the birth vessel again, but she won't be able to control anything to do with us then. Kids are old enough to know better when their birth vessel messes with our visitation. And now when I say "We just have to hope that your mom thinks she's doing what is best for you kids, even if we don't think so." they answer "Yeah right serate, we know you don't think that and we sure don't think that." Soon to be 3 years until the youngest is 18 and I can't wait!

1. Costco does not have cheap peanuts this year?????

2. What are we going to do? Oh. Cinnamongirl is in B.C. They probably still have cheap peanuts at our Costco. Hey, Cinnamongirl, c'mon down to Costco in my city, thirty miles south of the border. You can also get some cheap gas while you are here. All the other Canuks are doing it.

1. I haven't bought peanuts lately at Costco, Juju, but I've noticed quite a few of their prices have gone up lately. Toilet paper and paper towels are what I thought of off the top of my head. I'm not buying anything different but my bills more than it has been!

2. Dakota has a field trip to the Borax mines today. She's so excited. I've known about it for a while but it wasn't til last night I realized she'd need a sack lunch and I don't have anything for that. Before school we ran to the grocery store to get her something to eat (also a disposable camera so she could take pictures) and ran into a couple of her friends whose mom's had also forgotten they'd need to bring lunch today.

3. Caleb called home from school sick early Monday morning and hasn't been back since. He's got a nasty cold that's causing sinus pressure and pain that caused vomiting. Ick. Poor kidlet feels lousy. Told him he has to be better tomorrow cuz there are parent/teacher conferences.

2.Had today off work cuz daycare lady had important school business to do

1. Nick, the temps are only supposed to get worse as the week goes on! I've heard over and over that Friday/Saturday are supposed to be the worst.

2. I turned my swamp cooler on a few minutes ago and I usually don't do that this early in the day.

3. Saturday at the family bbq, sis tripped in a hole and scraped up her knees and hurt her ankle. She waited til Monday to go to the dr (should have gone when it happened, it her ankle looked terrible.) She tore some ligaments in her knee and sprained her ankle.

4. We were talking on the phone earlier and laughing about her fall. She said she actually flew through the air...I said she must have, cuz I saw her trip out of the corner of my eye and then saw her land about six feet away and sat there stunned for a minute wondering how the heck she ended up that far away, lol. Funny now...wasn't so much then.

5. I need to make a trip to WalMart this afternoon and I'm seriously dreading it. I hate WalMart, don't want to go but really don't have a choice.

6. Caleb is feeling just well enough this afternoon to be driving me nuts. He is booooooooooored. He wants to go somewhheeeeeeeerrrrrrre. He keeps moping around the house, from the bed to the couch, to standing over my shoulder and telling me how bored he is. Repeatedly.
