January Blahs

I had someone say to me that the third week in January is the worst week of the year and I would have to agree. The air is mucky and the sun doesn't shine through all of the gunky air. It was a short week for work as we had Monday off but the rest of the week seemed to drag. Of course it did not help much to get sick again on Thursday and I am home from work today again with the flu. I mean really. I have not even got over the cold from earlier and I am sick again. D, Boo and I made a trip to the Dr yesterday to see what they think it is. No strep, and they tested for flu, it was not the one they tested for but the Dr was pretty sure that we have some flu strain and I have a nasty sinus infection as well. 

I hate being sick. I have way too much homework and papers to write to be sick like this. It was sorta funny all three of us being squashed in one exam room and it became a contest as to who had the highest fever and the highest blood pressure. D won for fever I won for blood pressure. That was okay because he was the one who got the q-tip shoved up his nose for the flu test.  Boo has missed way to much school already and I feel bad that she feels bad. D has been a trouper going to work despite feeling like crap. I am a wimp but when I go to work they send me home. 

The positive is one more week and then only one class (yeah) I end the dreaded hated class of the last little while. Because of the holiday break this class has been two months long. I am very excited to finally have it over with. I just keep thinking 9 more weeks and it will all be done. 

Hurray

Have to go watch Tucker and write a paper on it. 

wish me luck

I hate those three words

What's for dinner?

I cannot tell you how much I hate those three little words. I am up to my eyeballs in homework and work and I no sooner walk in the door and hear what's for dinner. Come on guys help a mom out a little. They are up there with, sorry mom I did not mean to and Oh crap as one is looking at the checkbook. 

I admit I have not been the best about planning out dinners and such in the last while. I used to be such a good mom and would make sure I had something defrosted every night when I got home to make a nice dinner for my family. I feel like such a mom failure. 

I promise I will be better after March, will Martha Sewart come and take away my mom license before then? I hope not. 

Mac and Cheese again

oh well

Hot dogs are food, right?

Sick Sick and Sicker

Well the cold that has been passed down and around and up and all over has finally struck. I have been sick for about three weeks and really wish it would go away but now poor boo and D are both fighting the yucky stuff as well. Both are a little testy and already tired of being sick after only a couple of days (try three weeks). I think I will go and spray the entire house with lysol. Bee and Bear already had the cold, they passed it to us. Ty seems to be immune (curse her). So lots of sneezing, coughing, whinning going on at the crazy house. 

what a crazy month

I have been chastised by cousins and such about not posting for over a month even though I know of others who are as bad so here is our update. 

Thanksgiving was nice, my mom is the greatest and always makes a good feast. I finished one more class and am in the middle of another one and start another one tonight so I may not post again for awhile. I am still pulling an A average although now I said that I will jinx myself. 

Christmas was great. Smaller than normal due to all the craziness in the world we played it a little safe this year. It was really nice when D got a big bonus for christmas which allowed us to finish up without using credit cards. The kids got some awesome stuff including guitar hero world tour for the Wii, Wii fit and a bunch of other computer games. I think everyone got pretty much what they had asked for and had fun. 

D and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary in December. Of my family excluding my mom and dad we have been married the longest. I also have to say that I love my D as much today, probably even more, than I did 19 years ago. He is a great and wonderful guy to put up with all of my craziness for so long. Love you D

Ty is still at the theater pushing popcorn. She seems to like it and has taken advantage of the perks having seen many of the new movies.

Boo has had a couple weeks of no soccer and cello and is now working her way back into shape. 

Bear and Bee are still fighting and making huge messes.

Nothing too exciting at our place other than no time to do and a hyper puppy running amok. 

Happy 2009

Happy Birthday to the best sister ever

I know I haven't blogged in a bit. Life has been crazy and I caught the really bad icky cold and have been sick for a couple of weeks so sorry everyone. 

since I am sitting in class right now and won't get a chance to call her until tomorrow I wanted to wish my sister Meemer a happy birthday. You are the coolest sister ever and I love you. I hope you have a good birthday and many many more to come. We will have to get together and do something fun in the next couple of days. I would love to take you to lunch! And just because it is cool happy 74th birthday to Elvis as well.

So happy birthday sis!
