Crimson and clover over and over

So. Vin is working late. Sometime until between 2pm and never. Great. That throws off EVERYTHING.

We were supposed to go to Fulton when he got out, stop by Jayme's grad party, and then go to the BabyShower/BBQ at 3 until 6, and then go to my parents to meet Heather.

Well, he called me told me that he wasn't getting out until late, he thought. So I was going to go down to Fulton by myself, early. And then he got mad and said he said he "may be" getting out late and that I should stop being selfish and wait for him. Ok. So, I did. THEN he calls and said he def. isn't getting out til at least 2, so I should go by myself. WTF?! Well, I am NOT going by myself, since he didn't want that in the first place. Neither did I. I don't know anyone at the baby shower, and I am not going by myself. So. I am going to wait for him to get out. Maybe he will get out at 2, or even 3 then we can still go to the baby shower. As long as he is out by 5 so that we can go to my parents. goodness. Such a big production. and admist this arguing about what we were doing, I had to go to Price Chopper, get more salad, and go to Edible Arrangements. So, now we have two and a half boxes of Salad, and no one to eat it, if we don't go to the shower. great. I am going to bring it to my mom's, if we don't go to the shower.

Ok. Enough complaining. I need to pick up a little around here.

Goodbye, Blogger World.

my parents 25th anniversary gift.

madalyn rocking the no pants look.

lesteeme

So we will say that 'lesteeme' means 'a person who is trashy and has low self-esteem' ok. not very creative.

I am freaking out. I have to go to (I think) Mindy's baby shower by myself. I only know her and Justin. And, possibly Kristi whatever her name is that went to Hannibal. I saw on her status that she was going to Mindy's baby shower. How many Mindy's are there having a baby shower today. Prolly only one. Either way. I will just drop of the food and gifts, hang out for a min, and then go cuz I really do have other places to be. I have to go to Jayme's grad party, and drop of my parents Edible Arrangements Anniversary Arrangement (say that 3 times fast).

I was making pasta for the summer salad for Mindy's shower, and Gracie was yelling for me telling me to look at her, so I did. And I proceeded to drop all the freshly boiled pasta into the sink. Looks like I will be making a trip to the store later. I HATE going to the store. A) I am to lazy B) the girls are nuts and make me want to kill someone.

I drank a lot of Red Cat last night. ha. It's just to yummy.

Well, I am going to watch "the l word" and eat my bagel and drink my coffee.

P.S So Vin is only supposed to work til 12 on Saturdays, any other day of the week, it's a tossup, but Sats is only supposed to be noon. He gets there today and there is a sign hanging saying "plan on working a full shift". Yeah. Good Idea. Plan on it, since you are here anyways, and it's 7 am and to late to change your schedule of anything you may have going on outside of work. yeah. screw you ppl. But thank you for employing my husband and paying him lots of money. But, screw you, anyways.

So. Goodbye Blogger world. For now.

Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British Politician Sex. JFK Blown Away, What Else Do I Have To Say?

Vin is at the haircutters. well, barbershop. or whatever. ha. I have nothing better to do, so I am updating.

Not really sure about what. I have my Red Cat, and that is the most important thing. haha.

I freakin LOVE Billy Joel, and Elton John.

There is not even a way to describe my love for them.

When I lived in Fl, I bought a 4 disc set of Elton John. I played it everyday allday whenever I was in my car. Ha. Even my Ghetto bestfriend, Jimmie, would listen to it, cuz I was that obsessed with EJ.

Altho, I did switch it up sometimes with his crap rap music. ha.

We are super duper psyched about camp. it's not even funny how nuts we are about going.

Thomas' Bagel Thins. As that guy who sings that song would say 'ooh myy goshh'. OMG. ha. ok.

They really are good tho.

I don't even like wheat bread, but I love the Wheat Bagel Thins. I made a sandwich outta them at June's house. they were spectacularly good. (I really didn't think 'spectacularly' would be a word, but whadaya know, it is.) AAAAANNND half the calories of bread. But it is kinda messy if you put all the crap that I do on a sandwhich. But I guess people toast them and eat them like bagels to, since that is what they are.

"Jack and Diane" is on now. I love this song, as well. I love my playlist. ha. I am lame and love 80's and early 90's music. What can I say?

Whiskers is the craziest cat. She plays fetch. All night long. It is nuts. She is such a cuddle bug at night, to. Sleeps on the pillow behind my head, and bats at my hair all night. I wake up with scratches on my arms. haha. I am going to miss her. I hope she will be ok. She will be here for a week, all by herself. Our neighbor, or our landlord is going to check in on her. Gosh. Poor kitty. But man, does she have long nails! (she is on my lap currently digging her claws into me. ha)

Gracie is in this phase where she thinks that everything is made by the thing on the label, which makes sense. Like Cows make milk. There is a picture of the cow on the milk. Well, she saw my wine bottle. "Mommy is that made out of cats?" Maybe in China. haha. She also asked me if Trix was made out of bunnies. (the trix rabbit). That Child.

Madalyn climbed behind the tv today. I picked her up and went to yell at her, and she gave me the biggest hug and kiss. Yep. She didn't get yelled at. haha. I also discovered that Gracie drew an "A" behind the tv, as well as a person on the wall above our bed. Wonderful. We now have people on the wall next to our door, and above our bed. These "people" also don't have a body. They are big heads with arms and legs protruding from them. And hair. She always colors lots of hair. ha.

We got Fish from Fish Cove. I took like 6 bites and was full. ha. So Vin ate mine. No wonder he has trouble losing these last couple pounds...I force food on him. haha. My dad has it down. He orders less food than he wants, because he knows he will end up eating someone's leftovers. haha.

So, now "ultimix" is on. It is a mix of songs ranging from Joan Jett and Lynard Skynard to Queen and some others. LOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEE It!!!


Wow. So this ended up being longer than I thought. I'm gonna mess around on facebook while listening to music. cuz I am just that Cool.  Good Night, Blogger World.
Until Tomorrow <3


ok. I need a new saying. I think I will go back to James Blunt. Cuz that was a lie earlier, when I typed "until tomorrow" cuz I was back today. hmm.

Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me....

madalyn relaxing in her highchair. haha

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing, Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in

So. I typed up a letter for my brother. I just talked about random things with the girls and our lives here. I figured he'd like to hear about anything that will take that place off his mind. I am sending him Socks, Baby Powder, and Baby wipes, at his request, as well as Beef Jerky Chew. It saddens me to know that he has to ask ppl to send him things like Socks, baby powder and baby wipes, when these are the little things that we take for granted. As well as the fact that we aren't walking around a desert for hours at a time, to need things like this all the time. I worry about him, over there.

I don't really have much to say. I haven't done much today, besides go to the store, and watch "The L word" haha. I am such a lazy butt. geez. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I ordered an edible arrangements arrangement for my parents. Their 25th wedding anniversary is next week, but they will be at camp. They leave Monday.

I have to go to make copies of my taxes. actually. nm. I bet I can still print them off of H&R block. Either way, I have to mail them to school, for financial aid stuff next semester.

Ashtin and Shannon (Jordan's sisters) and Shannon's baby and baby daddy are coming up in the beginning of August for a week and a half. I can't wait to see Ashtin. She is 16. I haven't seen her in 4 years. Shannon, I could care less about seeing. We never got a long all that well to begin with. Ashtin asked if she could stay a couple days here. Of course!! I am so pysched to see her. We bonded so much while living together. Her family is nuts, and it has f'd her up. She's dropped outta school and watches Shannon's baby more than Shannon does. Some ppl just shouldn't have babies.

It's going to be another late night for Vin, and then after he goes out to get drinks with his friends from work, because that is apparently a Friday tradition, now.

I am getting my hair cut like I used to have it. (Short, spikey in back and longish in front) I have an appt next Friday with my friend's mom. If I don't back out. It is a lot of work to keep that hair cut, and then when I stop getting it cut, it grows out and goes thru that awkward phase, which is the whole reason why I let it grow up and decided never to cut it again. idk. i like having long hair, because I can just pull it back in a pony tail and do virtually nothing with it. idk. But Vin loves my hair short, so idk. It makes me feel pretty when I have it short, but it's still so much work. and then I have to bobby pin it back for clinicals, since I can't put it up.

So. I almost had a panic attack earlier. I was in my bedroom putting a movie on for Gracie, and I came out, and didn't see Madalyn, so I looked in the bedroom, and under the bed, in the bathroom, the closet, everywhere. I couldn't find her. I was calling her and getting no response. I was literally freaking out, I walk into her room again, trying to figure out what to do, and she pops up from under Gracie's pile of blankets on the top bunk and goes "boo!" haha. I just thought it was a pile of blankets. lol. Thank God. I was freaking out.

My teeth are really bothering me, I really need to get to a dentist, but we have no insurance, and who knows how much crap I'm gonna have to have done. I am flossing and brushing and using mouthwash like 7 times a day, now. Geez. Thank you, for the family gene of periodontal disease. I am so paranoid I will end up one of the toothless freaks. I am sure I am just overreacting, like always, but still. That would be awful and I would def. get that fake teeth thing that look real. Rosie did it years and years ago. Her teeth look perfect now. My teeth look fine for now, but my enamel sucks, thanks also to all the abx I was on when I was a kid. haha.

We got "the fourth kind" and "the burrowers" in the mail today. We have been in a scary movie mode, but watching movies keeps us up so late, cuz Vin doesn't get out til late. (Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo ) (Sorry, I was singing along to my itunes. haha). Californication. WTF?!?! Freakin' Hank and his baby mama got together (and we were so happy) and then split up again. Vin was mad. haha. He is such a romantic, deep down inside. haha. Actually, not all that deep down. He tends to be more romantic that me. haha. I think we will prolly watch that tonight. Idk. I'd rather stay up all night watching The L word. I am on episode 7. Only 6 more and then I can watch the next 4 seasons on Watch Instantly.

I can't wait for Camp. I just had to say that again. haha.


I have been ok today. I ate half of my quesadilla from last night, smothered in sour cream and crap, but since then have only been munching on blueberries and the occasional cheese puff. I am waiting for Vin to get home, so I can figure out what we are having, and if we are going to give in to ordering out. ha. it's an addiction really. We do soo good during the fall/spring/winter and we almost never order out. I cook homemade meal every night. But now, I am home all day, and hardly cook. haha. He gets home so late, and it's to hot to cook and I am to lazy. haha.

Ok. I am going to do nothing for a while.

Until Tomorrow <3

madalyn's new minnie mouse 'bop bops' (flip flops).

I want to feel passion, I want to feel pain, I want to weep at the sound of your name, come make me laugh, come make me cry, just make me feel alive.

Alive- Joey Lauren Adams

One of my favorite songs, ever. From the soundtrack of "chasing amy". I have been looking for YEARS on limewire, to download it to my itunes, and I can't find it. sigh.

So. I have started watching "the L word". omg. I freakin' love that show. I freakin' love Shane's attitude, and I love Dana. She is so nieve about Lesbiens. Silly girl. haha. (Apparently I have picked up the word 'silly' from Jami, as well.)

I think Vin is going to pick me up a bottle of Red Cat tonight, altho I decided that I wasn't going to have anymore wine until Camp, because it has so many calories. Oh well. I don't have the energy to exercise and I like food to much, to do the slim fast thing. I will start it tomorrow tho. Ha. I say that every day.

So. I went to JCP today (my fave. store) and got some shorts. Size 3. not bad, but the issue was finding shorts that weren't HOOCHIE!!! (hootchie?) idk. All the shorts there coulda passed for underware! I swear!! I used to wear short short shorts when I was younger, back when I had the legs for it, but I don't any more. haha. I did find some nice shorts that were normal short length (like 2 inches from my crotch, instead of 2 cm), so that's good. haha. I don't fit into any of my other shorts cuz they are like a 1. sigh. altho they are so old, i've had them since highschool and finally out grew them this year. ha. damn nursing school.

So. I talked to my sister in law today. Not Toni. Heather. She called. it was a pleasant conversation. I almost didn't answer, but I figured i should. haha. We talked about the girls, and her school, and my school, and france, and her studying abroad in italy. She seemed genuinely nice, instead of her normal fakeness, but still. idk. She is just so 'all about her' and the fact that she wouldn't live with my brother in NC, she stayed at UNH. whatever. If it makes him happy. Altho, he is hopefully transferring to a base in R.I, so he will be closer to us.

Went to the mall today. Was in JCP for seriously like 3 minutes and Madalyn LOST her sneaker. we looked EVERYWHERE. so we went to the disney store, and I bought her cute minnie mouse flip flops, (altho she was wearing a spare pair of sandals I had with me). I love buying shoes for the girls! Or clothes. or anything. But I restrained myself. I can't help but spend a lot of money at the disney store, but I didn't. haha. Vin would of freaked. I remember for Gracie's 3rd bday party, it was Tinkerbell, and Tinkerbell was all the rage at the disney store-we spent so much money there and bought her her tinkerbell lamp and all sorts of dolls and stuff. She still has her tinkerbell lamp tho. Good. that thing was 40 bucks marked down from 80!

I really love "the l word" but it is pretty annoying because it's not on zshare, it's on either some chinese thing or megavideo, and with Megavideo you can only watch 72 minutes at a time, and then it makes you wait 54 minutes before you can watch another 72. haha. I guess since I have started this show, my book isn't going to get read except at night, when I am not to exhausted. haha.

We got our cooler. The girls are having a blast in the box.

Chris sent a letter to my parents. Said activity was picking up, and that he had been hoping he wouldn't have to do his job (which is being the medic for the marines). but, he is, from the sounds of it. But he said he is safe, and he has his gun, so not to worry, because he loves his gun. haha. and then at the end of it he said "Is reagan getting tired of riding horses? I can prolly smuggle a camel outta here". haha. I am glad he is still able to joke around. He said that he always had a 'romanticized notion of war' until now, and it has given him a whole new perspective on everything. I am sending him a package. I will put in it Crew socks, baby wipes, and baby powder (at his request) and I am also sending 'beef jerky chew', the brand I am getting is Buffalo Bills and it's supposedly rated top 4 in the US by some Hiking Group, or something. haha. He loves beef Jerky.

It is 1818. Haha. I love that I post at the same time everynight. Altho this time, Vin will be home in a few. Yay. I wonder what we are doing for dinner. Prolly Ponchitos. After today tho, we are NOT ordering out anymroe, and I am NOT drinking alcohol, until Camp. haha.

well. Goodbye my Lover, Goodbye my friend....Until Tomorrow <3

rolo licking Madalyn. haha. it's like Madalyn is her puppy. haha

NO fish for us.

They don't do fish on Wednesdays. I was right. haha. I guess we are doing an oven pizza :(

now heaven would be a DJ spinning dub all night long and heaven would just kicking back with Jesus packing my bong

shark attack

Shark Attack Video.
I am so fascinated with Sharks it's not even funny. Ever since I saw a shark at Pensacola beach (while I was in the water, I may add). It was a baby. like 3 ft. long. Some huge Arnold looking guy came and scared it away. lemme tell you tho. I was terrified. It coulda bit off a toe or something. ha. but yeah.  We said we weren't eating out anymore. and every night we do. and every night we say "this is the last time" and Vin is currently going to pick us up food. not sure what yet. haha.

Our neighbor is having an affair, I am pretty sure of it. One that lives in the apartment buildings or somewhere Left of us on Midler. Some guy parks in front of our house everyday, and walks and makes a left down Midler. Everyday he comes. Why would he park on our street when he could park on Midler? Or in the driveway of a house or whatever? yeah.  As James Blunt would say "Once he was a lover sleeping with another. Now he's just known as a cheat". Yeah, I have James in my ehad still. I should be a cop. I could bust the drug dealers next door and catch an adulteress/adulterer. altho that's not really illegal is it? It's just a sin or whatever. "thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife", or my neighbors wife, anyways. haha. I am just full of all sorts of good quotes today. it is currently 20:04 and Vin still has not called me to see what I want to eat. hmm. It's gonna be a late night. looks like no reading tonight. ha. He just called me. He is going to The Chop to get Fish dinners. I was astounded. I didn't know anyone cooked Fish on a Wednesday. I thought that was just a Friday thing. We aren't religious, or Catholic or whatever, but we get Fish on Fridays alot. There are a lot of little places around here that only do Fish on Fridays. There is this one on Brewerton Road that is sooo popular the cops have to go out and direct traffic. We learned to take 81 on a Friday if we are going to Cicero. haha. There are seriously like 3 fish places within 3 miles. If not more. ha. 


ok. this was supposed to be just a link about sharks...but I got on a tangent about everything. goodness. that is called "flight of ideas" haha. Thank you, Mental Health Rotation. haha


Ok, so,
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.


haha. ok that is lame to post every post. especially since I post alot.  But, maybe I will keep doing it. just cuz. haha. until tomorrow <3

just a test pic

Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky are like shooting stars...

I am about halfway thru Jodi Picoult's "house Rules". It is a great book. I have only been able to read it at night time, altho I haven't been reading even then, as much as normal, cuz Vin's been getting home so late, that by the time we get to bed it's 'late' (like 9-10).
I finished this season of Desperate Housewives, and I am caught up with Army Wives. I need a new tv show to watch. haha. I would much rather pause a tv show to yell at the kids than not be able to concentrate while reading, I've decided.

I bought the girls Toy Story 1. I don't know why since I have it downloaded on that program thingy that Thane hooked up, but I don't know how to work it. So, I am impatient. So I bought it. AND I thought it was 1&2 for 20 bucks...but it's not. It's 1 on blue ray and dvd. WTH? I don't have a blue ray player. w.e.

I am sweating profusely. I should prolly change into some shorts. haha. I've been wearing jeans all day. who knows why.

We had an earthquake apparently. I didn't notice. The last one I remember was in like 10 11 or 12th grade cuz I was living with Deb. It was in the morning and I thought the dog was like running around my room shaking my bed. He wasn't. haha.

I put soap in Gracelyn's mouth today. I told her to stop talking back. Idk if it helped. I also took away the pool. She is still being obnoxious. She is going to go play in her room like a good girl after she eats, and if she throws a fit, I am taking the tv away from her ALL day tomorrow.

We got our totes and propane tanks and batteries for camp.We got two long totes that are about 6 inches deep for bread and rolls and stuff and pots and pans (in seperate totes, of course. haha) and two smallish ones for first aid stuff, hair brushes, and crap like that.

I am pretty darn excited for camp. haha. Have I mentioned that? Saturday is Mindy's baby shower. It is pretty much just a cookout. I am excited about that, I like Mindy and Justin, but I don't know any one else. Vin will know a lot of ppl since he has been friends with Justin (shoppe) forever, and he 'dated' Mindy. (for like 2 weeks and nothing happened.) plus, it's Vin. he talks to everyone and anyone.

So. Jami was telling about her Walmart story and how she bitched until they gave her her money and then offered to pay for any bank fee's. Then I realized, I can be a bitch, but mostly, I am just a push over.
What happened is she asked them to do a split transaction, they didn't, so of course it'd screw up Jami's account, so she demanded they put it back. they couldn't so they gave it to her in cash, a 20 dollar gift card and offered to pay any fee's. I would of just said "that's ok" and left and paid the fees. Unless Vin was with me. Then he may have thrown a fit. But, I definantly would have gave in and let them screw me. I need to learn to be a bitch at the right moments. ha.

No to mention, if you go negative once, when it all finally posts, it post from greatest amount to least amount, so you end up with like 7 overdraft fees. yeah. that happened to us once. It sucked. we were negative like 800 dollars because of it. I was pissed. Ok. maybe like 300 bucks in the hole, but still. it was a lot.

Talked to Tara today. She calls me usually bi-monthly. lol. She seems to be having a good time, but I think she feels like a 'stranger in a strangeland', so after she graduates she will be moving back here to people and places she is familiar with. Sorta like my experience with Fl, except mine also involved the crazy Corkran family. haha.

Sunday, I think Jami and Thane are coming over. yay <3. Idk what to do for dinner. hmm. I'll prolly just marinade some chicken. or maybe we'll do Papa Johns. I love papa johns, and Thane's been wanting some. AND it gets delivered in, seriously, like 10 minutes cuz it's like 2 blocks away. haha. now, if only dd delivered, life would be perfect. haha.

I have like 4 months to figure out what to do with my life. ha. yeah. seriously, tho. I have to decide if I want to work at Crouse, where they will give me a sign on (not sure how big), but won't pay for me to continue my Education (for my NP, eventually) for 2 years, or work at Golisano's where Upstate will pay for me to continue school after 6 months. Idk if they ahve a sign on. So, yeah. that sounds simple, right. well, it's not. I joined nursing school with the dream of working in the NICU (Neonatal intensive care unit). I spent a day up there and LOVED it. OMG. It was like Heaven. Well, Crouse has the BEST NICU in the area and services THIRTEEN counties. Ppl come up from PA to go Crouse, and down form the canada border. If I can't get in there right away, I'd want to do L&D. which, is also at Crouse. and is the best one around, because it is connected with the NICU. So, IDK. Golisono's wouldn't be awful. If I did work there, it would have to be at Golisano's and not on another floor at Upstate. I don't like UPstate. I've done clinicals there, and I just don;t like it, it's like alien territory. Altho, I guess I would get used to it. The trauma floor, where I did clinicals would be ok. That is where all the people that get majorly hurt in accidents and stuff go. But if I do end up working for Upstate, so they can pay from my school it would have to be at Golisano's. I would love for it to be on the pediatric hem/oncology floor, but pediatric surgery would be ok. I did a rotation there, but I would LOVE to be on Pediatric Hematology/Oncology. I would. However, I hate parents. Lemme just say that. They are awful. which is why the NICU would be perfect for me. Parents are in very little doses up there. haha. So. I could work at Crouse, and just take out loans for the next two years, (or just wait a while before going back) where I REALLY want to work, or work for Upstate where I really don't want to work, but get school paid for pretty much instantly. ALso, the question is, do I WANT to go back to school right away? Yes. I do. I love school (yeah, I am lame) and I would have to go part time, cuz I would be working full time, but idk. I want to get it over and done with cuz it's a 3 year program, full time, so if I go max part time, it would still be like 5ish. So. gosh. idk. If I wait til the kids are older, it might be easier. I started Crouse at the worst time, with a 1 year old and a 3 year old. Full time school at the best nursing school around with two toddlers. ha. WTH was I thinking? Idk. But, I don't have much time left to figure it out. Maybe I will just apply everywhere and the first place to take me wins. I have a feeling that I will apply first at Crouse, cuz that is where I REALLY want to go, but then it's MORE student loans, or putting school on hold. As my dad says (alot) if you put off school you aren't likely to go back. But I proved that wrong once, I could do it twice. but, idk.

so. I told Gracelyn that if she didn't play in her room she wouldn't watch TV at ALL tomorrow. She says  "I dont want to watch tv tomorrow." so that threat didn't work.

We are reading Hop on Pop. She is doing really good. I am proud of her. She read like 3 pages (with my help, obviously) and got bored. but the words also started getting longer (house, mouse) and she's never really read before. this whole concept is new, so I understand her giving up. haha. we'll do a little everyday.

Madalyn is so cute (duh). Gracelyn has this microphone that sings a verse of "under the sea" and madalyn sorta hums along to it, and dances with it to her mouth until everytime they say 'sea' or 'me' or anythign ending in 'eee' sounds and (right on time) she goes "eeeeee". haha.

I feel like the song "everything" was wrote for me. ha. I am lame. I am pretty sure everyone thinks that. haha.

James Blunt. That is like the sound track of our relationship. I bought it when I broke up with Vin for what i thought was forever (but turned out to be 2 days, and then we got engaged. haha) because of the song 'goodbye my lover'. but, we listened to that song every single night in our studio apartment that was LITERALLY the size my living room is now. I played it because it was soothing music for Gracie, and her crib was literally a foot from our bed (with the other end against the wall) and our bed was 2 feet from the other wall (that gives you a size reference). So, all of our fights, and are 'loving' was to this cd. It doesn't surprise me now, looking back, that we fought so much, even after we were engaged. I was pregnant, home all day in a tiny tiny studio apartment, he worked all day (he was at barnes and cone) drove a 45 minute drive all day, at least, and came home to a pregnant hormonal, me, in our tiny tiny apartment. Altho, we've always fought. we are better now. thankfully. alot better. but we dont see eachother except saturday afternoons and sundays. haha. no wonder we get along. haha. but yeah, I love James blunt. I listen to him when I want to remember the beginning of our relationship and how far we have come, relationship wise, family wise, and just in general. and he is a wonderful artist.


it is 1818. The same time I posted yesterday, and Vin is not home AGAIN. haha. He hasn't been home in time for the girls to go to bed in a long time. oh well. It's money. It's wonderful over time. like 26 bucks an hour. I love time and a half. haha.

Summer Sisters. Idk where my book is, but I am sad. I hope my mom has it in the attic, but idts. Amanda asked me a question about something in the book, and I went looking for it. it's not there. We call eachoterh Vix and Cait. yeah. we were pretty lame. haha. It is a wonderful book tho, and it seemed so suited for our friendship.

ok. I guess I am going to go. My dad fb'd me a comment about rope and stuff we need for camp.

So, as James Blunt would say...'So, long, Jimmy, So long, though you only stayed a moment....' or, "Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend.". Yes. I believe I will end all my future blogs with that. haha. I am so lame. Until Tomorrow <3

But, little did I know that you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles....

YAY! All my pics I sent from my phone are finally posted!!!!! There are some on Sunday's blogs, also.

Don't tell me if I'm dying, Cause I don't wanna know, If I can't see the sun, Maybe I should go...

So, I am having issues sending pics from my phone to here. hmm.

Vin has no idea when he will be done. It is 1818 now. Great. Another late night. I am starving. Kinda. I just really like to eat. I really am trying to watch my calories, since we are camping in a little under 2 weeks. No more beer or wine until then. To high in calories. I think that is part of the reason why I gained like 10 lbs in a year. Nursing school makes me drink. haha. Altho, I'm not lying. ha.

I received a card today, in the mail from Heather's mom, Janet. She had a stroke in February or March, maybe April. I am bad at remembering dates. I went and saw her a couple times and sent her flowers, and she wrote me a card herself! I am so proud of her improvement, and she's not even my mom. haha. She was in the ICU at upstate, and then the rehab floor, now she's at St. Camillus in Oswego, and she will be going home June 29, in time for their wedding in July!! I am so glad I got to see them. And. They live literally like a quarter mile from Jami and Thane! I wish we could buy the house next door to the Goldberg's, cuz then we would have all our friends right near us (and Heather and I could carpool to school. Except, she's ALWAYS late. haha), minus the Green's who live across the bridge.

June 29th is my parents 25th Wedding Anniversary. I am thrilled to be making it to our 3 year, in August, much less our 25th! I am so incredibly lucky to have a whole family, all of who get a long, and I really should count the blessings and be thankful for all of them.

So, Jami just told me this really funny story about what happened at Ponderosa with Rowan. I am sure she will post about it, but I will tell the short story because it made me LOL. They were at Ponderosa after Rowan's tball game, and some kid in the next booth was screaming and crying, so Rowan stood up on the booth and yells "OH NO, DADDY DO SOMETHING!!!" HAHAHAHA.

So. This Labels thing. What does it do? I think I labeled one post a while back (by while back, I mean like 3 days ago), but I always forget to, and I am still not real certain what it does. haha.

I am so freakin' excited to be going to camp. Holy Moly. Words can not express my feelings of ecstasy about how near it is!! We got everything, but Vin's fishing license, and our cooler (which should be arriving soon). We have to get groceries and some small stuff, but we have our screen tent, the tent, the ax, the rooftop bag, and the air mattresses, and lanterns and crap. OOOHHH and we bought APPLES TO APPLES. I am SOOO EXCITED to get to play that!! I only played it once at a Game Night at Carly's house with the Crouse girls (and all two of the Crouse Boys), but it was so fun!!

Ok. Now it is 1831 and still no word from Vin. Yay. ha. I am glad we don't live in Fulton anymore. Altho, when we did at least I had like 45 minutes notice of when he would be home, and I could make dinner. Now he works a mile away and I don't know he's out until he gets home. So, I don't make dinner when it's this late and we are just lazy and rely on delivery or Lucky Sevens.  And I wonder why I gained weight? ahaha.

So. I love female singers of the 'rock/souly/whatever' genre. Melissa Etheridge. Joss Stone. Alanis. Definatly Alanis. I looove Alanis. Joan Jett. Lisa Loeb. The cranberries, altho they are a group. or whatever.  I love her so much, as well. I love them all.

Ok. On a sidenote. I am sick of our drug dealing neighbors. They cause to much traffic. Seriously, there are always cars pulling up in front of their house, for like 3 minutes, and then leaving. like, all day long. Seriously, do they think everyone around here is an idiot? We know what they are doing. Altho, it bothers me cuz whenever we are outside, rolo runs over to greet the drug seeker. ha. Good thing the driveway and back yard and door we use are on the 'quietish' side street. Thank God our driveway isn't on Midler. We would have Roadkill Rolo. Haha.

Ok. I am hoping Vin gets home soon. It is 1837, and I am sick of screaming "Go play in your room Gracelyn!!! and STOP Dragging your sister around by her legs! (who by the way, doesn't complain about being dragged around.) and STOP SCREAMING! LEAVE HER ALONE Almost time for their bed. They wake up sooo early that they go to bed at 7ish. Which works for us, cuz we are (usually) in bed by 8ish. Altho, Vin has been working so late we haven't been getting to bed til 830-9ish, and then I have to read before bed, so I haven't been falling asleep til 10 or later. ok. Until tomorrow <3

Our memories, Well, they can be inviting, But some are altogether mighty frightening

It is so gloomy out today. I hate it. It just puts me in one of those moods. The moods that Vin unfortunately gets the blunt end of, like he normally does. Went grocery shopping with the kids. That was fun, lemme tell you.

I am getting ready to go down to Fulton to see Heather and Mike, and so Rolo can meet their dog, Daffy. They are going to watch her for a week while we go camping. I hope that Rolo doesn't think that we are leaving her tho :-(
I love Heather and Mike, and I am so glad they are getting married!!!  To think, that when I met Heather in the fall of 08 in our evening Micro class, who woulda thought that we would be such good friends and graduating from Crouse 2 years later!! I couldn't have done it without that girl, lemme tell you!

I really wish that Rolo was like a nice little doggie so she would be easier to transport. haha. I won't be able to stop at Jami's altho we will be like 6 feet away, because Rolo would scare the crap outta Riley. Altho, I hate little dogs, so I am glad Rolo is a nice normal, non-yippee dog. haha.

That's all for now. Until later or tomorrow <3

Yes. I just made my kids Pineapple flavored rice.

blecoo

Blecoo is the sneeze that produces the yucky snot into the hand. haha. Like "achoo" but "blecoo" haha. seriously this captcha should give us real words.

It was a pretty lazy day today. Went to Walmart. got lunch meat and crap. and a new air pump. The pool is now pumped up so it will not bend in half and all the water won't come out.

Gracie refuses to clean or play in her room or do anything BUT watch tv and irritate Madalyn and myself.

Madalyn refuses to stop climbing on everything. Seriously. It's getting dangerous. She climbed on top of the super tall dresser, and tried climbing up the side of the bunk bed, failed, and 'bunked' her head pretty darn good. I was pretty darn worried about it. Especially since I forgot the whole fact that kids heads aren't like 'sewn' together yet because their brain is still growing. Good thing Jami remembered that. At least the one that isn't 3/4's of the way done with nursing school knows something. haha.

Whoops. I just remembered I told the girls that I would feed them. I prolly should.

Until Tomorrow <3

Micsnern

That was the word on the Captcha thingy when I responded to Jami's post. I thought it was funny. So, I am going to make up a definition for it. Micsnern means someone who is very snotty and thinks she/he is above everyone else. Sorta like Mcdreamy. but Micsnern. haha. ok. so I am weird.

Welcome, Toni, to Blogger!! <3 Toni is my sister in law. We hated eachother for the first like 2.5 years of our relationship. We would get a long decently online(she lives in Phoenix with my 3 beautiful nieces)...but when it came to actually having to tolerate eachother in person, it just didn't work. Laurie said we were so much a like which is why we never got a long because we are both pretty bitchy and antisocial. haha. But this last time she came up, we had fun, and we got along, despite losing Laurie :-(  anyways, so, welcome, Toni. :-)

Yesterday was Father's Day, and Karina's 8th Birthday. Holy Crap. I can't believe how old she is. I remember teaching her to walk! We went to the zoo in the morning with my parents. We invited Heather, my 'other sister in law' (my brother's wife) she didn't come. Big surprise. We are just trying to be nice because she is my brother's wife. But she only cares about her. Gosh. I hope her or my brother never read this. Altho he knows how we all feel. It was nice going with my Dad and Vin. My mom and I go a lot with the girls, but I can't remember the last time my dad went, and Vin hasn't gone in over a year. My dad and Vin get a long wonderfully, which I love, because his Father just isn't the same, anymore. The whole situation irritates the crap outta me.
After the zoo, my parents came over here and Jami and Thane came over, to. Oh yeah. On the way home, there was some protest thing going on, where a bunch of people from other races were marching down State street waving flags and banners that were in another language. So, we pulled a U turn and took 690 home. ha.
So, Jami and Thane came over, I made sweet and sour chicken (which didn't taste as good as last time). It was still a chaotic mess trying to do everything at once. Reagan helped us this time (or tried to help, rather. haha) Normally it's just my dad and I messing around in the kitchen while my mom runs around with the girls. haha. Jami kept us company in the kitchen, but also mingled with my mom. I am so glad that they liked my parents and my parents liked them. Karina was tired. A little grumpy. Reagan was acting like she was 14. haha. The kids played in the pool. I inadvertently joined them. It started as my just standing in there throwing Gracie around, but somehow, I ended up falling and soaked. So then it didn't really matter how wet I got. haha. She is so in LOVE with Rowan. I can't figure out if it's like a 'motherly' love or if its a kiddie 'crush' love. She carries him around and picks him up, and I really hope she doesn't grow up and pick up her boyfriends, so I think she is being kinda motherly with that, but then she asks to marry him, so I hope she doesn't feel motherly and grow up to marry him. haha. altho at this age, it's just nice they get along. haha. Madalyn feels left out, when they play I think. She just sorta wandered around outside. :-/ but she has this weird thing about being in the pool, lately. idk. she spends more time wandering around the yard than in the pool. Altho her and Rowan do play, but I think he likes playing with Gracie more, which is totally understandable because Madalyn doesn't really 'play' yet. ya know?
The guys put up the tent. It went up in like 15 minutes. Maybe less. I am so excited for camp!
Madalyn is such a cuddle bug when it comes to Jami. She loves to cuddle with me (Madalyn, not Jami. aha), but she is like so obssessed with Jami. haha. She was brushing her hair and sitting on her lap, AND she let Jami wash her face. and she didn't scream or run away like she does with me. haha.
I am so glad Vin has a nice, normal friend. Yay.
Ok. Time to eat some breakfast, drink my coffee and watch some Desperate Housewives. Running to the store later to get Vin some lunch meat, crackers and granola bars for his lunch, and taking the girls outside at some point. Until Tomorrow <3

I kissed a girl and I liked it

Not really. My sister in law "dressed pretty and she thinks she liked it" so that song is stuck in my head. She is funny n I love her. I am glad we finally get along. haha. I had a wonderful day. Time to watch "Californication".  Until Tomorrow <3
