Sorry
I haven't really felt like blogging lately. It really isn't fun for me anymore. Mostly, I think, because I'm incredibly boring and don't have anything blogworthy. I still read other people's blogs, just don't have anything I feel like blogging about personally.
My girls are off school today for a Parent-Teacher conference day. Fortunately, neither one of their teachers needed to see me for anything at this time. That, of course, is good because there's nothing like dragging 3 kids (one of whom is not yet 2) into a school for a conference with a teacher!
They are also off Monday for President's Day! So, alright! Four day weekend! Two whole, extra days of the kids being here ALL-DAY-LOOOOOONG! Woo Hoo! Can you tell I'm ecstatic? Yippee! (end sarcasm)
So, really, as you can tell, I have absolutely nothing of importance or interest to share. Hence, the lack of recent blogitation.
Have a Great weekend all...both of you!

6 Years Ago...
My youngest daughter was born!
I had gone to bed between 11 p.m. and midnight feeling absolutely no signs of labor. I woke up at 1:30 a.m. with contractions 2 1/2 minutes apart. We arrived at the hospital around 3 a.m. At 5:55 a.m., she made her way into the world weighing 8lbs 5oz and was 20 3/4 inches.
Today she is 6 years old! It is so hard to believe she has gone from this:
to this:
Now she is in kindergarten! Where are all my babies going? (My youngest will be 2 in a couple of months!) I'm getting old! Sometimes I can't believe I'm old enough to have 3 kids, the oldest of which is in 3rd grade!
Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Rudeness!
Ok, I went grocery shopping a couple of days ago and I start putting my things on the conveyer belt. I had a huge cart full of stuff and had just started unloading it. Well, this guy behind me, who is just gabbing away (loudly) with some guy that just walked into the store that he apparently knows, throws one of those dividers up on the belt and starts unloading his cart. I'm not even done putting my things up there! I look at my cart and the space he has left for me to put my stuff. There was no way it was all going to fit.
First of all, I am a person who organizes her groceries at checkout. I don't pile things up unnecessarily. I put canned goods together, boxed things together, frozen foods together, etc. I even try to put the heavier things at the front so they get scanned first, therefore they go into the cart first as to not smash the other things. Well, I started piling my things on the belt since I had no other option. This did not make me happy. So before I could even finish piling my things up, the belt had moved to where the divider was at the end and all my stuff was already scanned, except for the things that were still in my cart! So I had to actually start handing my items individually to the cashier so she could scan them. I have two words for you, guy... HOW RUDE!
And then, yesterday, my two younger children and I go to eat lunch with my hubby. We go into the restaurant (fast food, of course) and there is this guy in there who is talking extremely loudly into his cell phone. Ok, seriously? We could not hear each other talking on the other side of the dining room because this guy is so loud, laughing and yelling into the phone. Fortunately the yelling was not profane or negative, he was just having a good time talking to whoever he was talking to but, COME ON, MAN! He was completely oblivious to how incredibly rude he was being. The manager even said something like "has that guy never had a cell phone before?". At least he wasn't on one of those walkie-talkie Nextel phones! Don't even get me started on those. Hate them, Hate them! Hate them! I don't want to hear your conversation while I'm trying to eat and relax! Two words for that guy...HOW RUDE!
Anybody else have a story of someone who was completely rude and oblivious?

You Give me Fever!
I haven't felt well the last few days. I've had major sinus issues, especially at night when I'm laying down and have just felt achy. Last night, sometime after I went to bed, my throat started hurting. I tossed and turned between midnight (when I went to sleep) and around 5:30 this morning. I was so uncomfortable. My throat was killing me, I was shivering under the covers and I couldn't breathe through my nose.
I got up to use the bathroom and get a drink of water. I couldn't find any tylenol upstairs anywhere, and I simply didn't have the energy to walk downstairs to find it and come back up to bed. So what did I do? I laid there and suffered for 2 more hours. I couldn't find a comfortable position to lay in and I was burning up with a fever.
Finally I fell back asleep for around 30 minutes until my son woke up. Guru went and got him and then went and got me tylenol. I got the medicine in me and went back to sleep and couldn't make myself get up. I finally got up somewhere around 11:00. Guru complained that he didn't get to sleep in on his day off and called me lazy or ridiculous or something of the sort for not going to get myself tylenol when I got up to go to the bathroom. Whatever, if that's what you want to call it, then, yes that's what I was being. I just couldn't.
When I did get up, I was feeling slightly better. My fever was gone, but my throat still hurt. It still does. I hope it isn't strep! I seem to get it every year. I've been taking tylenol all day.
I'm hoping to make it to a women's Bible study at my church in the morning. I missed the first week of the study because I wasn't originally planning on attending it. A friend of mine went last week and said it seemed like it was going to be a really good study. So I found the book (practically brand new) at amazon.com for a penny!! That came in the mail this week so I'm all set to go. I just hope that I don't have another night like last night. The study starts at 9:30, so I need to get moving after getting the girls on the bus in the morning.
So, that means I should stop blogging and get to bed. I'll fill you in later on what the study is all about. It is definitely something I think I should benefit from (at least I hope I do!).

I know, I'm a slacker!
I'm sorry. I know you all have been religiously checking in here every day looking for a new little nugget about what's going on with Lo! (yeah, right!)
Well, I've been keeping busy. My daughters and I all had dentist appointments on Monday. I had a Dr. appointment yesterday and my son will go for a follow up appointment tomorrow for the ear infection he had.
I got a call yesterday from a friend of mine who works as a secretary for a small Christian school. She has recently been offered a position at Children's hospital, where she worked before the school (and still works part time) that would pay her a lot more than she is making now. Plus, she could get the great benefits they offer! On top of that, they are willing to wait until the end of the school year for her. Well, she called to ask if I would be interested in the possibility of sharing her position at the school with her. She would work Mondays and Fridays at the school and T-W-Th at Children's. That would leave T-W-Th for me to work at the school.
It is a tough decision. If I went to work there, I would probably get half off tuition for my girls (since I would only be working part time, full time would mean free tuition). The hourly pay isn't very great, but would cover the portion of tuition I would have to pay and probably enough to pay someone (trinity) to watch the baby those 3 days. I wouldn't really have anything extra. But, I would be able to take my kids out of public school and put them back in a private, Christian school!
Sounds great, right? Well here's the thing. My family has sacrificed so much just for me to finally be able to be home with our kids. We took the girls out of private school and moved to an apartment that is much smaller than our house. We are finally able to do it. And still pay all of our bills every month. Sure, we always murmur the phrase "don't spend any more money" about every two weeks, usually a few days before payday, but at least everything is getting paid.
I used to cry daily because I wanted so badly to be able to stay home. I wanted to raise my kids, not have someone else do it, even if it was family. I never doubted that my kids were being taken good care of by people who love them, but it was just not the same as being able to do it myself.
I just don't think I am ready to go back to work. I still have a baby at home whom I love spending my mornings with. Just him and me.
So, what would you do? Would you take the opportunity? Or would you keep things the way they are and roll with it?
P.S. I would also like to mention that if I worked at the school, I would have to wear a skirt and panty hose (yes, I said panty hose, which I haven't even owned a pair in literally years!) every day. No dress slacks allowed or anything, must be a skirt!

I Need Some Ideas
As I mentioned before, my dad is turning 50 this month. We are throwing him a party on the 14th. I know what food we'll be serving and have a general idea of what I want to do for decorations. We even have a slide show presentation that we are working on for him.
My problem, however, lays in entertainment. It's not as easy as a kids party. I'm pretty sure no one there will want to play pin the tail on the donkey or duck duck goose. I have no idea what to do for games at this party. Should we have prizes for people? I'm not good at this party planning thing as it is, so, I'm at a loss here.
Any suggestions? And just so you know, there will be no alcohol at this party, so no drinking games. I'm kind of running out of time here. I'm such a procrastinator! Just over a week left.
Ideas, ideas, people, I need ideas!!

I'm An Aunt....Again!
That's right! At 2:45 yesterday my little niece, Anna, was born weighing 7 pounds 10 ounces and is 19 inches long! I'm so excited! I'm going to go see her in the hospital today.
Unfortunately, the mommy and my brother in law are separated at this time. It's really sad for the kids' sake. (They also have a 4 year old son) I hope they can work things out. For the record, she is a really sweet girl and I completely agree with her reasons for leaving. I love my bro in law, but I don't agree with his lifestyle! I just pray he will come to see his wrongdoings and make an effort to change.
I'm a Paladin
Stolen from guru, here are my results:
My Inner Hero - Paladin!
I strive to help others, and to bring truth and harmony to the world however I can. Whether times are good or bad, you can always count on me. I'm a shoulder to cry on, a champion for the helpless, and an all around nice person.

Merry Christmas
Sorry for the lack of updatation lately. Lots going on. We had a wonderful family get together today after church this morning.
Tomorrow we leave for PA for 2 days, so I had to clean tonight (I can't come home to a mess, that would be sooo stressful for me!)
I have to finish packing, and get to bed since I have to get up early tomorrow and I am worn out!

Reminiscing
My dad is turning 50 next month and I am going through a bunch of pictures to find some good ones of him from throughout his life thus far. While looking through some pictures today, I came across these from high school. My brother and I were both involved in theater in high school as well as a couple of my friends that I still keep in contact with. Sweetiepie (who used to be a fellow blogger as well) and A who doesn't blog, but occasionally reads mine.
The first 2 pictures are from Cinderella my freshman year. That is Sweetiepie and myself sitting on the bench (I'm the one on the right). The second one is of A as Cinderella herself! I'll be expecting your call, A, as soon as you see this. :) You can kind of see me in the blue dress in between the "wicked stepsisters". And the last pic is of my brother playing the Baker in Into the Woods. He was a senior (the year before Cinderella).
Hope you enjoy my trip down memory lane. I always like looking at old pictures of myself, wishing I still looked like that! It's amazing what 11 years and 3 babies will do to a gal! (Not to mention over-eating!)

Birthday Weekend
Thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday. The day didn't start out well. I woke up with a headache. Then my oldest daughter decides to tell me 10 minutes before she was to get on the bus that she was supposed to have a Secret Santa gift for Thursday. I asked, "as in yesterday?" To which she replied "yes". I remembered seeing something about it on a paper that had been sent home, but couldn't remember when it was. Crap! Now I have to get dressed, get the baby dressed and go to the store and then take the girls to school instead of just sending them off on the bus as usual, and having a nice, relaxing morning.
So I got the kids all packed up in the van as the bus drove by behind me. I put the van in reverse and gently press the gas....nothing. I am on a sheet of ICE! Great! Finally, I got out of the parking spot (oh, how I miss my garage!) and headed to the store. I ran in and get a quick gift and took the girls on to school.
After dropping them off I decided to stop and put gas in the van. I stopped at Speedway and put in my Speedy Rewards card and it took of 2 cents per gallon. Now, I remembered that the last few times I filled up a different Speedway it gave me 5 cents/gal. off. So I drive off, hoping to save myself a few pennies (cheap, I know) and get to the other Speedway, and the price of gas is way higher. Even with 5 cents/gal off, I'd still be paying more. So off I went back to the original Speedway.
I fill up the van then go inside for a French vanilla cappaccino (It was my birthday afterall) and there was a sign over the French vanilla saying to "please select a different flavor". I did not want a different flavor, but I stood there trying to decide which one to get since I was already there. Then an employee came over and opened the front of the machine and said "these are out." NOOOOOO!
As I pull out of the gas station lot, I see the my bank and decide to stop while I'm out and cash my birthday check from my father in law. I pull around the block and back into the lot to the bank. I get to the drive through window and go to put down my window. It's frozen shut! (did I mention I miss my garage?!) At this point, I say, "forget it" and just head home.
When I finally got home, I i.m.'d my hubby and was telling him about how stinky my morning had gone already and he reminds me that the Secret Santa exchange is NEXT week! That just made it worse because now, I had just had a horrific birthday morning for NOTHING!
After guru got home, things did get better. We dropped the kids off at Trin and G's house to spend the night (little man's first sleepover) and went out on a date. We ate dinner at Hoggy's then did some shopping at Marshalls where I got a new purse and matching wallet. Then we went to see Just Friends. That was a very funny move, IMO. Then stopped at Steak 'n Shake for milkshakes after the movie.
Saturday morning I slept in until 10:40, then got up and met a friend of mine (Sweetiepie) across town for lunch and a fun day of shopping. I also got to meet her newest little one who is now 8 weeks old! So cute!
After church Sunday, we dropped the little man off at Trin and G's again (thanks guys, twice in one weekend!) and headed with the girls to an OSU Hockey game that guru got free tickets for. We all had a really good time.
That's about it, sorry this was such a long post, if you're still reading this I'm surprised. We ended the weekend with Grey's Anatomy (very disappointed there was no DH on this week!) and went to bed.

First Hair Cut
My little man got his first hair cut today! He looks so much bigger now, which of course, I expected. He looks so cute though (as if he could not look cute).
Here are some "before" shots of his long locks:
And some "during" shots:
And some "after" shots:
He did such a great job! He didn't fuss too much. Just a little at first, but it was only because he didn't want to sit down! He was very curious about what was going on, but did not want to sit still very long. That boy is always on the go! The lady that cut it has was a friend of my mom and my grandma goes to her for her hair cuts. She has known me my whole life and said that my son looks just like I did at that age. So he MUST be cute! :)
