Well, the holidays are over! We had a good holiday season but I was so glad when it was over because it just gets to be too stressful. We had Christmas Eve at our home with about 26 people. It sounds crazy but it was alot of fun. The kids all enjoyed their presents. It just is so funny how you spend so much time preparing and it is all done in a matter of seconds. I got some Uggs, jewelry, jammies, socks, undies ya know the normal things. I enjoy having family over and I also enjoy having my mom at my house. Since she lives in a nursing home and a is confined to a wheel chair it is hard for us to get her to the house. We hire a company that picks her up and brings her to the house and that is such a treat for me. The kids enjoy it and I love watching her enjoy the food and company without being at the nursing home. Don't get me wrong I am thankful for the nursing home but sometimes it is very depressing to go there. New Years Eve we went to the show to see Bedtime Stories. It was an ok movie but did not keep my attention. I was sitting next to Nick and dosed off for what felt like 5 minutes he says longer. I thought I got away with it too until we got into the car and he said I was snoring LOL. Then we went to downtown Mt Clemens they do fireworks at midnight. It was like 15 degrees outside and good thing our neighbor owns a cute little coffee shop right there so we had a warming station.
I know my last post was about my scrapbook project from Mo. I did start it but have not finished it as of yet. I will finish it because Nick and I have a bet and I cannot let him win! It might be summer by the time I finish it but it will get done LOL.
I have been struggling with this blog because I sign on and think I have so many interesting things to blog about but I just can't put it into words. I am much better in person. Much more entertaining! I read other blogs and think wow that person really writes well but I struggle with it. I originally started this blog because I thought it would be a good way to write down my thoughts and keep a journal of our everyday life but again I sit and stare at the screen wondering what part of my life do I want to write about.
The kids are doing great! They are currently studying for mid-terms. The twins are freaked out about it. Dom is not because this is his 4th year having to do them. I keep telling the twins you are putting way too much thought into it. I have confidence that they will do well. Sarah still has her boyfriend. She came in my room the other night and said "guess what" I said "what" and her reply was "this is me and Dannys 2 month anniversary" and me being the smart ass that I am I said "woo hoo OMG I am soooooooo excited" LOL. I think it is cute! I just don't want her to get so caught up in him that she loses sight of herself. Marco now has a girlfriend as well and she has a great name .... Kelly! Dom has about 5 girls and I am not sure if any of them are his girlfriends. He is pretty private. Oh, I got my cell phone bill the other night, well I should say Nick opened it. I heard this sigh from the kitchen and knew it could not be good. I was right Dom was using the Internet from his phone again after he has already been told we have to pay every time we use it which amounted to $135.00 extra on our bill. Nick was pissed and I was too. I took his phone away until he can pay the bill but I hate him not having a phone because he is gone so much I like to keep tabs on him. It is a double edged sword. Nick also said he is not getting the phone back even if he pays the bill because he said he can go get a pay as you go phone. I made a command Mom decision and said yes he can have the phone back once he pays! Nick is wonderful with my kids. I have a weird outlook on the whole step-parent thing. I think it is my responsibility to discipline them and not his. Not that I am saying they can disrespect them in any way I definitely would not tolerate that but I just feel it is my job. I guess I have seen too many step-dads come and in and rule the roost and the mom allows him to do so even if it is not the way she thinks it should be handled. I am just plain ole weird about that.
Today is the coldest day of the year here in Michigan! We have had a horrible winter and have been blasted with alot of snow! Today on my way into work my truck said it was -6. I am not even joking that is how cold it is here. I just keep thinking about spring and summer. That is the only way I can deal with the cold. I wish I could live somewhere warm but with my kids at the ages they are at I just could not do it yet. I will one day! I am always amazed reading people blogs that live in the south and they are outside with no shorts on and it is Christmas. I think to myself oh damn that would be fucking fabulous!
Well, I need to get off here and get some work done. I will post Christmas pictures tomorrow since they are on my camera at home and I am at work.
Have a great weekend all!
