Happy Birthday to me

If I had a working scanner I would post pictures of my cute self as a small child. But I don't so you can take my word for it I was cute, LOL!! Anywho, no plans for today, Ed and Lydia have a father daughter dance for Girl Scouts tonight and I'm working for the school fair tonight on the PTA board. Watch out, I'm wild. I think on Sunday Ed and I are going to brunch somewhere to celebrate.

A new Do!

My house got a new do. The roof was finished today and OMGOSH it's so pretty! I'm so so so happy with the shingles I picked. It's called Black Walnut and OH MY GOSH is it ever pretty! Now we just have to get the yard all spiffy to match the spiffy roof. Then in two short months my pool will be open and I will be chilaxin! I have already started to fake N bake in the beds so I'll be ready to go when the pool is opened. Woo hoo folks can you smell the summer!!! I can!!!

Birthday

Friday is my birthday and I'm so not looking forward to this one. It's only number 33, but it's so much closer to 35 than last year. UGH

Ugh

I haven't posted anything good in so long. I just can't muster up anything? I don't know whats up? I have so much on my mind right now, I guess that's it. I keep thinking about how weedy our yard is and how embarrassing it is, it's so so so bad. I keep thinking about sending Claire to Kindergarten next year, and is she ready? I keep thinking about how at 17 mo Georgia still wont walk or talk much. She can talk, she can walk, she just won't. I'm kinda worried. I'm thinking of my brother, ugh. My parents, ugh again. I'm thinking about how did 7 years get away from me with Lydia and did I do a good job so far? I just have too much on my mind right. And thankfully none of it is me thinking about a sick child. So I guess I should just suck it up and get over my small issues and be thankful I have a yard, kids, parents and a brother to worry about.

So happiness! Today is FRIDAY! I love Fridays. Always will, even if I don't "work" outside the home. AND today is pay day, woohoo! My big splurge for the week is going to be a good sports bra, whoo I know. But hey I need a good one. I have been back at the gym and really feeling better, too. I can't wait to get back to my "goal" size. I'm done with weight, I'll be happy when my pants fit again. Why do we do this to ourselves? We know we should eat right and exercise, but we don't. I'm as guilty as everyone else in my position. I'm an educated person, I guess it just takes more work than I'm willing to give at that moment? But I'm back so Yay!

I'm getting my hair done today, another BIG YEAH! I'm very excited. I'm gonna go a little blonder I think. Summer is right around the corner and I'm ready for that. So blond makes me feel like it's a little closer.

I think I'm also going to buy some new lip stick today. I love lip stick. It makes me so happy to get a new one. I know silly, but it works?

Have a great weekend!

Proud to be Irish!

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
The sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Things I should be doing, but I'm not

I should be cleaning my house. I should be doing laundry. I should be cooking dinner. I should be dressing the baby. I should be eating something healthy and nutritious instead of tortilla chips from a Mexican restaurant from yesterday. I should be paying more attention to my kids instead of hanging out on the computer. I should be putting up the groceries. Instead I'm sitting here rotting my brain with computer time, tortilla chips and sweet tea. I'm blocking out my kids and giving them cheese and cracker stick that I'm guessing have High Fructose Corn Syrup in them (which I'm against by the way). My house is WAY trashed, the laundry needs doing, the dinner needs cooking and the cat box is bordering on toxic, you have to wear shoes in my house right now to keep the crumbs from sticking to your feet. I DON'T CARE for the next 20 or so minutes. I plan to sit here until my glass is empty. Ya wanna know why?? Because my kids have been sick for 8 days now, my husband needed some "alone" time so he's off to the gym and then to "guys night out' and I have been left alone with these people whom I gave birth too and haven't figures out that if they wanted to they could tie me up and tuck me into the laundry room. I'm on a mental break and in now 15 or so minutes I should be refreshed enough to deal until 8 or 9pm or until they figure out that they can indeed hog tie their momma and no one will catch them until around 11pm when their daddy comes home. Ahhhhh now the baby just bounced her head off the floor and all is lost in my mental break. Well until next time.

Bugs

Dang it if my two older kids didn't get the stinkin flu! Ugh! I took them to the Dr this am. Lydia has a double ear infection on top of it all. Clarie had the throwing up and what we call "sneaky Poops" They sneak up on you before you can make it to the potty. Georgia has a yucky cold with yucky snot, fun! I am going to put my kids in a bubble from now on when they have to be around anyone until the flu season is over. Thankfully Georgia's tubes are hanging in there! Man oh man just a few more months is all I ask of them.

I went to WalMart last night and got the kids 8 shirts for a little under 18 bucks! They had some good deals!! All summer shirts too. Yay for me and my wallet.
