1. It's those who claim they aren't weird that we should worry about. Embrace your weirdness and enjoy it.

2. Neighbor just called to tell me she picked both her kidlets up so today I have to pick up both Caleb and Kota.

1. Another weirdo here and don't bother trying to hide it, lol.

2. Dakota casually mentioned earlier this afternoon that one of the neighbor kids (who she carpools with) had a stomach bug.

3. Didn't give it much thought til about 45 minutes ago when Kota came out (she was supposed to be sleeping) crying cuz all of a sudden she's puking her guts up.

4. I'm supposed to babysit my 6 month old niece tomorrow and go to my aunts. Think plans are about to change.

1. This has been a great school week for Kota, other than being sick.

2. She has struggled with reading comp and spelling since she started school. She's had low test scores, low grades, tutors and extra help and nothing helped. Last year they considered testing her for a learning disability and decided against it. I brought it up with her teacher earlier this year and while they were reviewing her records and what not, her teacher started her on a new program (new for Kota anyways.) She basically took her back to the beg. A is for, A sounds like, etc. and worked from there.

2.5. They (I say they cuz in certain subjects like reading/math, all of the teachers for the grade level work together) had her placed in the lower reading and spelling groups. Earlier this week, they moved her up in reading groups (still at a basic level.) She was very excited about that and so are we. Yesterday, she scored her third straight 100% on her spelling test and her teacher told her they were now moving her up in her spelling group as well to the proficient group. We did the happy dance. I wasn't too sure about her teachers approach earlier this year, every teacher she's had has worked extra with her and gotten her into tutoring and we've not seen much improvement. But, we've actually seen a lot of improvement.

3. My two older nieces are spending the night. The kids have had a great time, I didn't plan anything at all for them, but they played outside most of the day. They went over and dug up worms across the street while Caleb mowed the neighbors lawn, they rode bikes down the street, and they built a fort out back.

4. Caleb also had a pretty good day. He earned some money from me and Darren doing yard work, he earned some money from the neighbor (even after telling her he didn't want her to pay and then learning to accept graciously, lol,) and his buddy came over to play for a while.

5. Darren got home from work yesterday sick as a dog. He went straight to bed, about 2 pm, and got up this morning at 5 (that's sleeping in late for him.) He ended up going to bed about 7 tonight, still not feeling that good. I'll be so happy when this winter is over and everyone stops getting sick!

1. Cinnamon, how old is your son? Sis and bil spent a lot of time picking out board games this year for Christmas (oldest niece is 9, middle is 5 so it's hard to find games that entertain both.) They've really enjoyed Monopoly jr and Sorry (or is it Trouble?) but the kidlet has to be able to count, so if he's too young that might not work for you.

2. I always liked Candyland, no reading and no counting, just matching colors. Also enjoyed the fishing one and the cherry game (I can't remember the names.)

3. Speaking of that, we need to set up game night, it's been a while since we've done that.

4. We have one more full week of school left (this week.) Next week, Caleb has 4 minimum days for parent teacher conferences. I think Kota has one or two for something else but I'm not sure.

5. Both my kidlets have some kind of writing tests tomorrow (not sure if it's the big one, don't think so cuz the schools aren't totally freaking out about it.) Dakota also has the mile run for the presedential fitness exam tomorrow.

6. Darren started a new class tonight (management organization or something like that) and really likes it. He hasn't been excited about a new class for a while.

7. I should try to get to bed, but after the crappy sleep I got last night and the weird dreams, I'm not in a hurry to jump into bed tonight.

(Cinnamon, I am so sick of Elefun, that I can't even tell you!!) We're starting Memory, but she doesn't quite totally get it yet. If she does not get the cats, then she melts... There is a really great game by the makers of Cranium. It is for littler kids, called CARIBOO! I highly recommend it!!)

(And War, you are thinking of Hi-Ho-Cherrio!)

2a. I hate Candyland. It can go on and on and on. I think there is a new version that has an alternate short game play. Gotta check into that. I also am not too fond of Chutes and Ladders, for the same reason.

Some games I LOVE:
Cariboo (for the young'ns), Rush Hour, Blokus, What's In Ned's Head, Battleship and Nerf's Cosmic Catch--THIS ONE IS GREAT!!)

2c. Candylands good for that age, there's no counting or reading, he doesn't even need to know his colors (though it's a good game to work on that with) just be able to match the color on the card to one on the board. There's some picture cards to, but again it's more matching the card to the spot on the board.

2d. The fishing ones fun, do you remember the name for that, Julie? The little fishies sit in the pond and go round and round and you try to catch them on your fishing rod. I don't remember much more than that though, lol. Oh and the fishing rods and fish have magnets so you have to be careful the little ones don't stick them in their mouths.

1. Just had a freak snowstorm a few hours ago, now its sunny

2. Just got back from an extra long lunch, went to Toys R Us and picked up Cariboo! yay! thanks Julie. And I saw the Fishing game too, 'cept this one doesn't have magnets (probably too many complaints)

3. Sold my old camcorder on craigslist today and am now on the lookout for a newer, easier to use one. Do I get one with a Hard Drive or a Flash Memory? Arggggh

4. Its my Friday today. Cool

5. Tomorrow I'm off to the walk-in clinic for my B12 shot. Think I'm gonna need to figure out how to do these myself. What a hassle to get to the drs every couple weeks.

6. Just bought Max and Ruby concert tickets for my son and his little girl cousin. Its not til April 23rd. Hope he likes it. I worry he'll be bored and will start running up and down the aisles screaching or something.

7. My car is really acting up, gonna have to bite the bullet and take it in for servicing. I really hate that... a lot!!

8. I Strawberries

5a. After spending way too many years going to my doc every mo. for B12 shots AND had to pay a co-pay, I finally asked him if I could do them at home. He had no problem with it and have been doing it ever since. It's really no biggie and way more convenient, not to mention cheaper. It's really not hard to give them to myself, but my DS and DD will do it for me at times. (They both worked for our vet and were used to giving injections.)

5b. Yeah, I hear ya, I can't imagine going every time just for a 2 minute visit. Kind of a waste of time ...and I bet it costs a small fortune too. I think it'll be tough at first but I could get used to it. Can I ask you a question though?? Have you ever had a shot that didn't take? is that even possible? I just had a shot a few days ago and my symptoms have gotten worse and its not pretty. The doc I saw was new to me, never seen him before and he hurt and bruised me...weird I think...and now, I feel like crap.. no doubt a stupid question....LOL

1. Will try to get that train back on the track.

2. The McDonald's commercial with the wall-mounted singing fish cracks me up! But the song gets in my brain and just goes and goes.

3. Flying to Houston tomorrow to be with my Dh who's been gone for almost 2 weeks working.

4. I KNOW I won't be able to sleep, so it will be a night of tossing and turning (what else is new?)

5. All is quiet on the home front...Both kitties are sleeping somewhere around here and DS is downstairs watching TV, since I wouldn't give up the remote.

6. We finally got some rain last night and this morning. Was a long long time coming..we've not had hardly any precipitation this winter.

7. Urgrace kindly offered to meet up with me after I get to Texas, but I probably won't be there that long. It was so sweet of her to offer!

8. It's hard to post here and talk on the phone...good thing I'm soooooo talented. lol

9. Whew I've run out of stuff to ramble about, but I like strawberries too!

1. The nickle and diming is starting. Kota's coached asked for $12 last week for the banner. Today he asked for $10 for their names to be put on the jerseys. I so wish they'd ask for a lump sum at the beg. of the season.

2. Opening ceremonies are on Saturday. Both Kota and niece are thrilled, means they start playing games next week.

3. I told Darren over and over he could not work this Saturday. No problem, he said, and yep, I'll be there. He came home today and asked what time opening ceremonies were cuz he was going to work. ARGH. To be fair, I don't think he realized we have to be at the park by 8am and thought he might be able to work at least half a day.

4. Report card day is Friday, I've already seen Caleb's grades online. His last math test pushed him over the edge to a D. The rest of his grades, including math supplemental are A's and B's!

5. Dakota set off a fire extinguisher in sis' car today, lol. It was an accident, bil had put it in the car, sis didn't know it was there, and it rolled out from under the seat and she kicked it. Sis was driving at the time and it scared the crud out of all of them, especially her cuz she had no idea what it was.

6. I'm making necklaces for Kota and nieces team. They're seed beads so don't cost much, but they're gonna take a bit of time. I've got 3-4 weeks though to get them done.

7. While trying to fix my oven, Darren broke the brand new part he'd just bought tonight. He's a bit peeved. We don't know yet if he'll be able to get the part fixed or if we're gonna end up buying a second one.

8. I'm so glad this is the last week of school for the kids. Er, even though neither have been in school this week. They have two weeks out for Spring Break and it'll be nice to not be running back and forth for a bit.

9. We don't really have plans except for the nieces coming over to play and the kids friends for a few sleepovers. Should be fun.

10. Come to think of it, I have no idea what we have planned for Easter either! Haven't even thought about it til now, lol.

1. Have been enjoying some home-made muffelatas, since bought a jar of olive salad while in La.Yummy

2. Just found out that my ds's EX gf used MY credit card to buy a cell phone when she lived here last fall and NOW I got charged $250 since she didn't pay the bill. (OH what I wouldn't give to get my hands around her little scrawny neck)

Oops, forgot to number. I hope I have four sentences.

1. Be VERY careful and follow ALL of the Dr's instructions, TexasDeb.

2. Those new staph infections can actually be killers if you let them get out of hand.

3. Stay RIGHT on top of it.

4. Get well soon.

1. I have been working for the past week to open a company to provide service to a prized client of Colossus'. Yesterday I took most of the day to shake out the accounting, banking and dba issues related to forming the company.

2. Because I was working at home or down at Colossus' shop, I didn't bother to put on makeup or dress in anything other than jeans. I looked like hell on a popsicle stick, to be truthful.

3. There is a pretty gal with long, blond, curly hair and big blue eyes around these parts who's husband owns a car dealership. Her face and skinny butt are plastered all over the company's billboards and other advertising. She has become my arch-nemesis and the subject of many a hilarious conversation between Colossus and me simply because I am constantly assaulted with her image. She and I share a hairdresser, and he swears she is the doll of the century, but I can't get behind it her butt is too skinny she HAS to be cranky from lack of food;

4. So yesterday Colossus and I were driving up the pike to get office supplies and the big car dealership with her picture all over it is right there. I explained how we were never going to purchase a vehicle from them, and Colossus agreed it wasn't worth enduring my wrath. Until he saw the Chevy Astro. I didn't realize my husband had a fetish for Chevy Astros. A fetish that is stronger than his love for me.

He swung around and pulled into the car lot before I had a chance to scream at him, and pulled right up to a parking spot THAT HAD HER PICTURE ON IT. I AM NOT KIDDING. I said, OK whatever, it's not like she hangs out at the car lot all day, I doubt she ever shows up except for photo shoots. If the Astro means that much to you, we will look at it.

So I schlumped along with my sweatshirt tied around my waist and my no-makeup wearing face and my hair scraped into a ponytail and tried to act excited for Colossus. I know that look on his face - it was love at first site, and the sale was closed before it even began.

While we were sitting back in the salesman's hub, Colossus elbowed me in the ribs and nodded toward the wall of glass that looks out over the parking lot. Guess who was tottering in with her 4-inch LaBoutins, designer jeans, skinny butt and perfectly curled blond extensions?

I withered in my chair, and Colossus actually cackled.

5. This morning, Colossus called to let me know he had the Astro in for a pre-sale inspection, but that I didn't need to come down and pick him up from the dealership, he was going to have Mrs. Dealership give him a ride (insert more cackling).

5.1 I suck.
