I’m on to a fashion photo shoot with my girls!! More on it later!
catch up
Seems like I’ve had to do a lot of catch up posts recently for lack of posting. Anyway, I think I’m going to be too lazy to write a detailed catch up..
- Video and audio inputs worked like a charm Wednesday at youth and I had the podcasts posted by Thursday afternoon. SO much better.
- The girls and I played in the snow Thursday while Scott worked. Lexi gave up early and watched from the front door.
- Friday night C&D and us went out. We tried to go to TGIFridays but it was an hour and a half wait. We ended up at Wild Wing Cafe and didn’t leave until after 10, when a band was going on stage.
- Saturday I got our taxes done and it’s GOOD. We will almost definitely be buying a second (actually 3rd) car.
- Sunday night we went to S&S’s house with the rest of the youth leaders for a Super Bowl party. We had a good time but Scott was really bummed the Bears didn’t win.
- Yesterday the girls went to school and then I took them to Moe’s for lunch. Last night Scott and I took them out to Target to pick up some stuff. They are both becoming well-behaved in public.
- D and I had coffee at Starbuck’s last night. It’s always good to catch up with her.
- I don’t think our dog is doing well. She’s lost quite a bit of weight lately and has found a new home under Emma’s new bed and stays there 24-7 unless she has to go potty outside or eats. We are all worried about her.
I guess that’s it for now.
My sister went to NY and I got this t-shirt!
Woot! So my Mom and sister got back from NY on Sunday night. The only thing they bought me was this Office t-shirt and I’m super excited about it. She thought about buying me the I love Jim t-shirt and although it probably fits me better, I’m not sure I could actually go to the gym with Jim’s picture on my chest. Well, maybe I could.
Thank you, lungs
Thank you, lungs, for realizing you CAN let the mucus go. It’s ok, really, you’ll be better without it.
I can’t remember last time I’ve coughed so much. My abs actually hurt from coughing so much. And what’s worse is most of the coughing is unproductive. I had to sleep in yesterday because I was so tired and worn out from coughing through the night. But last night, except for getting up at 3am for the dog I slept the entire night and don’t remember coughing at all. This morning I’m coughing but they seem to be productive.
One Tree Hill
So after less than 2 weeks, I’ve finished watching Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of One Tree Hill. Woot! This is a great show! I can not believe how much older/bigger James Lafferty was in Season 3. He came back from High Flyers and I was like, oh my gosh, someone has been working out (ok, not really from High Flyers, but you know). I think most teenagers are probably in love with Lucas but I really like Nathan! I actually like him when he is mean and also when he is so sweet to Haley. Kind of see both sides to him. But don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of Lucas and I REALLY want Lucas and Peyton to get together. I have a feeling it’s going to be like a Rachel and Ross thing and won’t get together until the last episode. Which what I hear may be soon as they almost didn’t get their Season 4. Let’s just hope I didn’t watch all this just for it to go off the air this season. Dan is downright evil, I just don’t even see how the writers come up with the some of the things for him to do and say. And poor Karen, Keith and her finally got it together and now he’s gone. I don’t blame her for her anger. So the finale of Season 3 kinda sucked. Beautiful wedding and all but Nathan JUMPED OFF A BRIDGE. Several people might be pregnant and right now, I have no more episodes to watch. I do think I found the first 7 episodes online so I get to see a little of Season 4. Anyway, until then, I’m waiting on the edge of my seat to see what happens.
what up
I’m sick. Blah. Got whatever the girls had. Been coughing up, or trying to, my lungs and came down with a fever yesterday.
So Friday night the kids were at MIL’s and Scott was working and I stayed up until FOUR AM watching One Tree Hill DVDs.
Saturday we went through the pain of getting our family picture taken. Scott and I didn’t get up until noon. MIL apparently wasn’t going to bring the girls home so I had to load up all the girls stuff and plan to get them ready over at their house. But we get over there and Lexi is asleep. Nice. No one’s fault but frustrating all the same. Lexi woke up long enough to get her picture taken with red eyes and all. Oh well, it was a free sitting and we get a free 10×13 so really no loss.
Saturday afternoon C&D came over with E. He is finally starting to seem like a little baby boy. He smiles now and talks and even sits up in his Bumbo seat. He’s so cute.
Saturday night the girls and I went to Blockbuster and the grocery store and they spent most of the evening watching videos. Sunday Emma stayed the day over at SILs and I thought I was coming home to put Lexi down for a nap, but no, she never went to sleep until 6 and only slept an hour and then woke up extremely cranky. In the meantime, I had developed a fever and this horrible cough.
Today the kids are at school this morning, Scott’s sleeping off his last night of working nights. And right now I really just want to cough up this lung I’ve been trying to cough up for a couple days.
lexi phrases
Lexi has added a few more phrases. Now she says “Wait a minute!” and yesterday I was in the bathroom and puts her little finger up to her cheek and says “Hmm, let’s see.”
catch up
So the girls went back to school tomorrow for the first time since last Wednesday. And then Lexi got a fever last night. Great, round 2 is coming I suppose.
We had so many technical problems at youth group Wednesday night. The screen wouldn’t work so no words to the songs or the PowerPoint. The guys restarted the computer in the middle of the message so I couldn’t use my live capture of the sermon. But let me tell you, God moved in that service. Two people got saved and two rededicated. But there is so much drama (see previous post) it’s hard to see the good in the bad.
So Mom and Heather are in New York this weekend. So the girls won’t be going off with my mom today. Which is ok with me. While I was at the church last night recapturing the sermon on the computer, I listened to a sermon from my old pastor and as usual, God used it to speak to me. I’ve been praying about a certain thing and I’m not certain, but I think the sermon was part of the answer. I’m still not totally sure so I’m gonna keep on praying about it before anything happens. I know it’s vague but just call this an unspoken request.
