Its a small world

I know I have said before that I only work like a mile or 2 from my house. Just about every 3rd customer knows me from school or football. When they come in they get a big smile on their face saying "hi how are you". Of course they want to talk forever but guys I got a job to do. This morning a lady came in that knows me and I swear she talked for like a half hour. I try not to be rude because I know they are just being friendly but come on I am at work not social hour LOL. The guys at work think I know everyone in our Township. I don't but pretty dame close LOL. I love the Township we live in. I call it my corner of the world that I love!

I took Marco this morning for his bloodwork and I am hoping everything is good! It took the lady like 4 pokes before she finally got his blood. He was such a trooper tho. I told him dang you did better than I would have. We got breakfast right after because he could not eat or drink anything after 8:00 last night so he was pretty hungry. Say a prayer for my guy that everything is normal.

Colleen will be my date tonight for the banquet that should be fun! Nick will be home drinking his Miralax, poor guy. I feel bad that he can't eat anything but an egg and toast this morning and can't eat anything until tomorrow after his colonoscopy. That stinks! I asked him if he wanted me to get some movies for tonight because I have a feeling it is gonna be a long night.
I love the men in my life and I hate when they are worried or not feeling well. Nick told me last night he was nervous about tomorrow and I try so hard to be strong but inside not so much. I am a mush mush!

Last night was American Idol my favorite show I cleaned the house, got ready for it and fell asleep! I was sleeping at like 8:50. The night before I fell sleep at 9:30 I guess I was tired LOL. I feel wide awake today.

Everyone have a great day!

Biliruben

Today is a bang up day over here! I am even more nervous now. Remember I posted about taking Marco to the ER for his stomach. Well, while we were there they did a urine test and it came back with biliruben in his urine. From what I understand, this is not normal but the dr said that it was not a big deal just have his dr rerun the urine when he goes for his check up in May. I called the dr the following day just to make sure that is what she wanted to do because I am freak about shit like this. She called me this morning and said that after talking with some other drs in the office she felt it was necessary to run another urine and do some bloodwork. I have to take him tomorrow morning for these tests. I AM NERVOUS! I hate when there is something not right with my kids just like any other parent out there I am sure. I also did the unthinkable I looked up biliruben in urine on google and it comes up with liver disease???? WTH that made me more nervous. I should have never done that! I know better than that. I am hoping it is some fluke thing and it amounts to nothing. It also said Hepititis which the twins were preemies and Marco had a few blood transfusions when he was in the NICU but I am sure something would of came up by now. I will do the only thing I know to do and that is PRAY that everything is normal. So if you could say some prayers for my guy or guys LOL that would be great!

Colonoscopy

Nick is 50 and went to the drs a few weeks ago for a check up. The dr suggested he get a colonoscopy (spelling?). He made the appointment for the consultation and is having it done on Friday. I was all like WTH why do you need to get one done if your not having problems. I hate unnecessary procedures that involve going to the hospital and having anthesia (spelling?). I guess at or after 50 it is necessary. Sidenote...I won't get one done at 50 or after 50 unless I am having problems LOL. Thursday night we have a leadership banquet for the boys that he will not be able to go to because he has to start drinking this stuff at like 6:00 for the procedure. From what I understand, he will not be leaving the bathroom for the rest of the night. Instead I am gonna take Colleen with me because I already bought 2 tickets. I won't go alone because of the cheerleading banquet with the X and his wife there. I always get nervous when anyone has things like this done because I always worry that something unexpected will happen. I don't know why I am a freak like that but that is just the way I am wired. I am sure that everything will go fine I mean they do these things all the time. Say a special prayer for Nick on Friday.

The weather here has changed again only not for the better. We went from 85 to 60. Oh well, I will take it as long as there is no more snow. I hope everyone has a great day!

Honesty

This weekend was amazing! I enjoyed spending time with Nick. Saturday night we went out with our friends to the Tiki bar but ended up having to sit inside because it was raining. It didn't seem to matter tho because we had a blast. My friends ended up paying for everything too for my birthday. That was wonderful! Yesterday we went to church, to the grocery store and then had Colleen and her family over for dinner. Our other friend Marsha ended up coming over on the spur of the moment so it was just great! I went to bed last night so peaceful and woke up the same way. The weather has been beautiful 85 today!

That is how the weekend went.... then this morning at work I checked my email and got Marco and Sarah's progress reports. Sarah has a D and Marco has 2 D's!!!! WTH they normally get A's and B's. I know they have been pretty busy with the weather being nice and all but I will not tolerate them letting their school work go. I did the only thing I know to do and grounded them until I get their next report card. Seems so easy but I always feel so terrible when I do it. Of course, they were pissed and the minute they found out via text LOL they started texting back and calling work and so the hell begins! I love my kids but damn can they stress you out. I am working so hard to try to not let this ruin the mood I have been in but it is not easy. These kids sometimes run my life and I hate it! I am sure anyone with teenagers knows what I am talking about it.

So back to the weekend.... is where I am keeping my thoughts! That is how I am rolling today LOL. Just trying to keep it real people!

Amazing!

I went to the dance recital last night and Courtney was so cute dancing! When I got home we left to go downtown it was like 10:00. We got to this bar and the music that his brother plays is techno which is like 4 different turn tables and 4 different songs going. I said to Nick I have seen alot of things and been alot of places but never have I seen anything like this. It was just weird! The people were weird and the music was weird but I had an amazing time with Nick. We laughed, drank and enjoyed each other. The weather was just gorgeous! We left he bar at 1:30 and did not want to go home so we went to the casino and stayed til 3:30. Downtown was hopping people out everywhere it was so nice to see. On the way home I said lets pull an all niter I have not done that in a long time. We got home enjoyed the weather outside and ended up falling asleep at like 5:00. We almost made it! At 8:00 our lawn service showed up to cut the grass OMG I wanted to scream! I just pulled the blanket over my head and went back to sleep and slept time 11:00. It is so fun to hang out like that it brings back that youthful feeling. I laid in the sun today because I need a tan badly LOL. We are going out again tonight but I have a feeling we won't last as long as we did last night. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Oh how I love Fridays!

So this weekend my kids go to their dad's house. Nick and I have plans for the whole weekend. Tonight we have a dance recital for Sarah's BFF then off to downtown Detroit for a huge party my brother in law is having at a bar down there. He used to be a popular DJ in these parts and is hosting a party that he is dj'g at. I am looking forward to it! Tomorrow I don't have to work which is great! Tomorrow night we are going out with some friends for drinks at our favorite Tiki bar. Today I start my period! Ok this irregular thing is driving me nuts. I used to be able to count a year ahead of time with them because I was so regular. Now I never know when they are coming. It is not a big deal being on it but it kinda hinders the carefree fun I may wanna have this weekend LOL.

In other news I am the mom that every one of my kid's friends tells all their problems to. I don't mind but sometimes it is tiring. Yesterday there was a huge fight between Marco's friend and his mom and I was in the middle. His mom calling me and him calling me. I didn't know what to do? So I did nothing LOL. I just kept saying how I wish they could work things out that was my escape. I love that all their friends come to me and feel comfortable coming to me but sometimes I know things I shouldn't. Marco went to his friends house last night to make cupcakes for a party they are having tonight. He came home all smiley and happy. He then said I am getting a ride to school tomorrow. I said who is driving you to school? He said her name but I don't know her but she is a junior. Marco is a freshman LOL. He was all happy with his bad self. The kid has a personality that you can't help but love.

Did I mention that my son is graduating in like 6 weeks!!!!!! OMG I am still trying to get a grip with that. I am so proud of him! I am also sad because he is a MAN! I remember when he was little I figured out what year he was graduating and it seemed so far way and it is here.

The weather is gonna be in the 80's all weekend! Woo Hoo I am gonna lay out tomorrow to get some sun on these nasty white legs. I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

just me

My birthday was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! I got home to a decorated house complete with horns, hats and streamers. The kids were so excited. I loved being home with my family. I love that the kids get excited for my birthday. Nick and Sarah went shopping and got me a outfit from my favorite store. It is very cute. Man oh man did I eat the cake tho. I got to work Tuesday and they had cake for me too. I went to the nursing home after work and had more cake. I think I am caked out for a little while. Saturday we are going out with some friends from work to our favorite Tiki bar here for some drinks. We always have a good time when we go out.

I had a drs appointment yesterday to see my Endocrinologist (spelling?) to do my bloodwork to see if the new dose of thyroid medicine I am on is good. I hate getting my blood done! Well she poked into my left arm and kept sticking the needle around and around finally I said excuse me but you have like 2 seconds to get a vein or I am gonna get pissed! She took it out of that arm and went over to the right arm and got it right away but I have this huge bruise. I never had that before. I think she was a bad blood taker LOL.

On my way home I picked up Dom's senior pictures and OMG they are nice! I am gonna try to take a picture of them with my camera so I can post a few of them on here. I got birthday pictures to share too I just have not had time to download them to my computer. It is gorgeous here today and is supposed to be in the 80's this weekend!

Thats all I got today!

Prayers needed

I have been following this cute as a button baby's story for awhile now and he is need of some prayers. You can read for yourself about him and his amazing mom www.mycharmingkids.net . Please say a prayer for this sweet little baby!

Birthday!

Tomorrow is my birthday! I had a birthday dinner last night at Colleen's house and it was wonderful! Tonight I am having dinner at home with just Nick and the kids which I am really excited about. We normally are not all together for dinner so this excites me. I love my birthday! My mom always made a big deal out of our birthdays so I like the tradtition to continue. On my birthday I am going to the nursing home with cake so I can celebrate with the woman who is responsible for all the goodness of ME LMAO! Can you tell I am all hyped up for my birthday LOL.

Have a good one! I have some great things to share about church yesterday but I don't have time to go into them right now. I will save it for another post.

Its a Michigan Thang!

OMG I am so excited I got Kid Rock tickets for this summer! I spent the last hour at work trying to get them and I have succeeded! I love Kid Rock and he is from Michigan so his shows are soooooooooo amazing! I am excited!

I am working my 2nd Saturday in a row!

In this past week I have worked 54 hours. I am tired but yet refreshed. I left work yesterday and I was thinking I can't wait to get home and do nothing. The weather was beautiful and sunny. I only live 2 miles from work so the drive does not give you much time to unwind. Of course when I pulled in the driveway Marco and his friend came out and wanted me to drive them to their friends for movie night. So off we went. I swear a mom's job is never done. I got home and all I could think of was doing nothing. After I get in the house I always seem to get a second wind. Sarah's friends parents called and wanted to know if we wanted to go to Partridge Creek the outdoor mall and have dinner. I said sure. OMG it was so nice out. Dinner was great and the company was even better. We sat there for 3 hours. It was so refreshing to me. I enjoyed it so much. I was not intending on shopping at all. However, Sarah had a different agenda. I gave her money to go get a pair of sunglasses. As we were leaving I seen this shirt in H & M so I had to go in and check it out. I ended up getting the shirt, leggings and Sarah got a sundress and a bra. That girl is so spoiled. While we were standing paying for it I told her you better not tell your brothers. My favorite line to her. It is just so damn hard not to buy her things being that she is the only girl. Ya know girls need more things LOL. Plus she looks so damn cute in stuff. I give the boys money too but it is different Dom wants money to go do things with his friends and for gas. Marco wants money to do things with his friends too and cologne. He is a cologne freak. So I guess it evens out. We got home around 10:30. I will be glad when work is over today. Then my office crew comes back on Monday woo hoo! I can't wait!

In other news, Nick started our Chevelle yesterday and it started right up. Since we have had it it never has done that. It always costs us about $300 - $400 every spring. So that was a bonus!

Enjoy your weekend! I am gonna try to sleep in tomorrow.

ER

My son Marco has acid reflux and occasionally takes Prevacid. I don't give it to him all the time because for the most part he is good. Once in awhile he will eat something that triggers it and then he takes it. I am not a fan of them being on a medicine all the time unless it is really needed. So he as at his dad's house Wednesday night and he had a bad stomach ache they gave him his medicine and it really didn't help. I called him thru out the day and he seemed to be feeling better but just tired. When I pulled in the driveway and hit the garage door he came out looking like shit and said mom you have to take me to the hospital. Off we went. We got there and they were examining him the dr said he thought it was acid reflux. I told him that we were there one time in the summer and they gave him something to drink and within minutes he was feeling better. The dr looked it up in the computer and came in with the same thing. I swear within minutes Marco was smiling. I asked the dr if we could have that in prescription for when it gets this bad so we don't have to come back. It does not come in prescription you can only get it at the hospital. It was Maalox and Donatol (spelling?). We were discharged and he has to go to a gastro guy now. Thank God for the juicy cocktail he got. On the way home he says can we stop at McDonalds????? I was like hell no you just had a bad stomach ache are you kidding me. That just goes to show the resliance (spelling?) of kids. We got home and he ate some potatoes and a sandwich and seems to be fine now. By the way, why do drs keep getting younger? or am I getting older? nahh it is not me it is them LOL.

Happy Friday to everyone it is going to be like 75 today woooo hoooo!!!! I love that is getting nicer out. Have a great weekend everyone!

I have been working my ass off!

Everyone in the office is on vacation this week so I am left to do all the work myself! I am exhausted! I feel like a robot get up go to work, come home make dinner, go to bed and repeat. I only have 2 more days and then everyone will be back. I can't wait. Plus I have to work this Saturday. I never work 2 saturdays in a row. Of course it has been busy all week too with the weather being nice. In the glass business I hate Spring because everyone brings in their broken patio table tops in and they are a pain in the ass! Also we get a ton of screens which are not my guys favorite things to do. It is just crazy LOL. Soon everyone will be back and it will back to normal! Did I say I can't wait LOL.

Easter was great! The weather was beautiful and I enjoyed the day with my family! The kids have been enjoying their spring break. We normally go to Florida but this year we could not afford to go so they are just doing things around the house. I think they have been to the outdoor mall every day this week and the show a few times. It keeps them busy. They are already talking about how they are ready to go back to school.

Remember when I said I went to the eye dr well she did not get my prescription right. I called them yesterday and they have to order me a new pair of contacts to try. So I am forced to wear my glasses. I hate my glasses! I see way better out of them but I hate them! I just hate the feeling of always having something on my face LOL. They are also those no line bifocals and if they are not placed properly on your nose you can't see shit LOL. I will leave you with a picture of me with darker hair and my glasses on. Let me know what you think LOL.

I love my mom!

I went to visit my mom last night at the nursing home. She was sitting so cute in her wheel chair in the dining room watching Marley and Me. There were about 6 other people in there with her. She was excited to see me as she always is. I go see her alot and every time she is so excited to see me. She introduces me to everyone again for the 100th time LOL. I always say mom I met them before but she says so proud this is my baby girl! I love my mom she was always my best friend. When I was single she was my saving grace as she didn't work so she was always there when I needed her. She watched the kids in the summer for me when they were younger. She loves my kids so much that I can't even explain. We always took vacations together. When she had her stroke I was devastated! I had to be the adult for her. I had to worry about taking care of her not her taking care of us. I mean not that she took care of us literally but she was just always there when I was down and needed someone to talk to. I had to find a nursing home for her to go to. After her stroke she was very depressed which is common for stroke patients. I tried so hard to make her happy with anything I could think of but nothing worked. She still has never got past the fact that she had a stroke. I had to learn to love a new and different mom. I had to say good bye to the mom I had known my whole life. I had such a difficult time doing this and accepting the way my mom was and is now. It took alot of time and I don't know if I am still there yet. I still want my old mom back. I miss the laughing, goofy times and just hanging out with my mom. My kids miss her terrible. When Sarah's BF broke up with her I called my mom and told her to give Sarah a call. She called Sarah and started crying because she wants to be there to hold her when stuff like this happens. She told Sarah I wish Grandma was with you right now. I told Sarah you know damn well if Grandma could she would of came over and took you shopping and to lunch. It just hurts sometimes. For the most part I have accepted it but I still yearn for my other mom. The hardest part is to see her at the nursing home because she still does have her mental ability she is just paralyzed on her left side. Most of the people in the nursing home don't even know who they are. It is hard for her to try to find someone to talk to because of this. Last night as we sat and visited there was a lady sitting at her table and she had no clue where she was and why she was there. She kept asking me if it was raining out when I came. I said no. She said because I have to walk home and I don't have an umbrella. I was so sad for her. Imagine not knowing where you are and why your there. My mom gets frustrated with these people because they ask the same questions over and over. So sometimes she tells them to shut up and is not always nice. I understand but at the same time feel sorry for everyone in there. It is just hard. I do believe that is where alot of my frustration comes from with my sister. She does not have the time of day for my mom. I have to listen to my mom cry because of her and this was before she had her stroke too. I guess some things never change.

Easter

I had the day off yesterday. I had planned on laying around and relaxing because this next week at work is gonna be hell. Most of the employees are on vacation so I will have to work pretty much alone. I got up and it was gorgeous outside I decided I couldn't lay around and waste the day. See that is one thing I hate about getting older! I used to be able to lay around, sleep in and be lazy. I can't sleep in past 7:30 anymore. It is annoying. Anyway, I got up took a shower and left. Dropped the kids lunch off at school, went visited my mom, got my nails done and picked the kids up from school. I am hyper for the most part. We were gonna color eggs so the kids asked if their friends could color them with us. I said sure. I love having kids at my house. We get home and that is where the craziness starts. I started boiling 5 dozen egss, making spagetti and decided to make a cake all the while kids are wrestling and running around. Nick came home and I said don't ask LOL. It was fun but I will tell you what we did not get done coloring eggs til almost 10:00. I took pictures but they are on my daughters camera the batteries were dead in mine. I was exhausted by the time I went to bed. Nick is so good he just sits on the couch helping a little here and there. That is where he balances me out because he is so calm and collective. I am nothing of the sort. It seems the older I get the more hyper I get.

I love Easter! We are going to church at 9:00, going to visit my mom and then eating dinner at my mother in laws. It should be a fun day! I miss the days when my kids still believed in the Easter Bunny. I hope everyone has a good Easter.

One more thing I almost forgot. I got in the car from seeing my mom and looked at my phone. There was a text message from my sister. I have not texted or talked to her in almost 2 weeks. The text said "no response needed! Just for the record the Dr says NO Bi-polar or mental issues here". I didn't respond but told Nick about it and he said did she go to the eye dr. LOL.

Gotta get to work now.

Hair

I have a confession to make... I love getting my hair done. I have gone to several salons over the years. I stayed at one particular salon for 10 years changing hairdressers 2 times during that period. I think that after awhile you either get bored with them or they get to used to doing your hair and are not willing to do something different. I went to this one salon that I absolutely loved. I loved the hairdresser there too her name was Kelly also LOL. I stopped going there because the last time I went and got my hair done with a cut and highlights it cost me $220.00. I was like no way that is way to expensive. I ended up going back to the old salon. It was ok I was not that thrilled with it. The cost there for a cut and highlights was $135.00. I still thought that was a little bit too much. The last time I got my hair done there I was not happy with any of it. About a year ago I was trying to grow my hair out which never ends up working for me. I got up on a Saturday and said to Sarah lets go get my hair cut. I didn't have an appointment anywhere so I said lets just go down this bust street and see what is open. I was being daring. We ended up at this ok salon nothing fancy but the girl Katie who cut my hair did a fantastic job and it only cost me $11.99. I was in shock and happy at the same time. I have been going to her since. At breakfast this weekend I ran into Kelly and she is working at a different salon. I was happy to see her and asked how much are your haircuts. Her response was $55.00 but I will give you 50% off your first haircut tho. I was sitting at work yesterday thinking I do need a haircut so I called and made an appointment with Kelly. After I did that I was feeling like I was 2-timing Katie LOL. So I called and cancelled my appointment with Kelly and made one with Katie. I really could get my hair cut every 3 weeks and the way I rationalized it in my head was that I could not afford $55.00 every three weeks or so. My hair and nails grow so damn fast. If my hair was long I could go longer without a hair cut but when you have a short style bob and the layers grow out it looks like shit! I also feel very comfortable with Katie and I decided that I am just gonna stick with her. Sarah was laughing at my dilema over getting my hair cut. She thought it was funny. I said I take this very seriously LOL.

It is cold and snowy again here today. I don't think spring is ever going to come. I can't even believe Easter is this Sunday. I bought egg coloring kits yesterday to color eggs with the kids. I can't believe they still like to color eggs but they do. I got the tie dye one and the sparkle one thinking the kids would love it. Guess what, Sarah said mom those are so stupid. I was like what do you mean? She said they are hard to do. They are using them tho because I am not taking them back. I had to go online yesterday to print our free tickets for church Sunday. The 11:00 service was already full so we had to take the 9:00 or 1:00 so I picked the 9:00. The kids will be thrilled about that. We are going to church, to see my mom and then my MIL's for a BBQ. It should be a fun day. The weather is supposed to be decent too.

Everyone have a great day!

Grandma

We used to always have Sunday night dinner with Colleen and her family. Over the last 8 months or so we have not because everyone's life is too busy. We decided that yesterday we would all have dinner at my house. Colleen's daughter is 21 and engaged so her and her fiance came too. It was nice we all enjoyed dinner, talking and laughing. After dinner Colleen and I went into my room so I could show her some clothes that I bought. Soon after that her daughter told me she was pregnant. I was like OMG does your mom know? She said no I am afraid to tell her. She was pregnant last year and had a miscarriage. She is diabetic so pregnancies for her are going to be tough. I told her that she had to tell her mom because I cannot keep this secret because with our friendship we don't keep secrets like that. We all went back into my room and I was trying to make small talk hoping R (that is what I will call her daughter) would speak up. I kept saying stupid things like hey Colleen what do you think of my phone LOL. R kept smiling. Finally, Colleen guessed what was going on. I know that Colleen is very concerned for her health and so am I. Colleen immediately went into the marriage thing. R already had her plans made. I tried telling Colleen she is with a great guy and they have plans don't make her get married. Let her make her own decisions. We then went out to the great room and then everyone found out. Sarah was so excited. Running around saying she is gonna be an aunt LOL. I was getting joy out of calling my BF grandma. She kept saying the baby can just call me Colleen. I said oh no that baby will call you grandma cuz I will make sure of it. I am excited for R but also concerned about her health. She has already been to the drs and is due November 14th. R has a drs appointment on Friday and Colleen is going with her. It is so weird that our friendship has gone thru teen years, 20's, marriages, kids, divorces and now being a grandma. It just does not seem like we have been friends that long!

Michigan State won and will play tonight at like 9:00. Downtwon has been hopping this weekend. The only downfall is we got like 6" of snow last night so the people that are here from the south for the game did not expect snow! I was hoping the weather man was wrong so today I got on my Uggs and Saturday I had on flip flops. Go figure only in Michigan. Now my lillies are covered in snow and I am not snow blowing any of it.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!

A good day!

Nick and I had an eye appointment last night at 5:20. I was on the last day of my 2 week contacts and had no more. There was a dance at the high school last night so the kids were going and I knew they needed to eat before they went at 7:00. I decided to try something I have never done. I got money out of the ATM on my way home and told them they each get $10.00 to eat. Well, Sarah needed to be picked up at 5:30 from her therapy for her knee so I was thinking Dom could pick her up, get them something to eat and drive them to the dance. I don't like to rely on Dom to do stuff like this but I figured it was worth a try. There is usually a fight between him and Marco about something. Nick and I left for the eye appointment and I kept watching my phone thinking ok one of them is gonna call and be fighting over something. It.never.happened. They did great! I talk like they are little LOL. Nick and I were at Lenscrafters for like 2 1/2 hours. Nick got contacts for the first time and I got a new prescription for my contacts. I have been in bi-focals since I was 39 and my prescription usually gets worse every year. This year it got better! I was shocked. Nicks got better too. So today I have been trying to get used to this new script.

I was thinking that Dom and I don't spend enough time together so we went to breakfast this morning and talked. It was great! We also did some shopping. I have been wanting a bike for my birthday. The bike store that I was looking at was having a sale today so we headed over there. I road the bike again and it fits me perfectly. I just can't bring myself to spend $429.o0 for a bike. I know it doesn't seem like alot but to me it does. I told the guy to put it on hold for me until tomorrow. I don't think I am gonna go buy it tho. Dom was teasing me because he said it was a nerdy bike. I told him I was gonna wear a helmet when I rode it too and he was cracking up. I said think what you want. I enjoyed the time we spent together. He is now cleaning his room because it is a total pigstie. I told him he could not go out anywhere until his room is clean. He has been in there for about 4 hours so far and he is not even close to being done. Looks like he will be staying home tonight LOL.

Nick and I are watching Michigan State play in the final four. It is here in Detroit. I wanted to go down there today but on the news it just looked too crowded. I am not a Spartans fan but I hope they win. It will be neat because they are playing in Detroit. If they win tonight the final game will be Monday.

It was a busy day and I am exhausted. I am gonna go relax and watch the game. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

It is Friday!

I am glad it is Friday! I got home yesterday and nursed my daughter's broken heart. Although, she was doing pretty good on her own. I think she started realizing how mean he was being and that made her mad enough to get over it quicker. I did not have any brothers growing up so I am always in awe how good her brothers are to her when she is hurting. Marco, her twin, was just beside himself yesterday. He wanted to kick some major ass. He is not a fighter so of course he didn't do it. All of Marco's friends were sending her messages on Facebook which helped. Dom's friends were also sending her messages too. Dom said mom I am not glad she is sad but I am glad he is not her boyfriend anymore. So sweet! When she was little and got in trouble Dom would actually get mad at me if I yelled or disciplined her in any way. He would always bring her to me by the hand and say mom she didn't mean to do it and would tell her to tell me she was sorry. She didn't she would give me that snotty little look which would make me more mad. I guess it is still kinda that way. Her brothers just love her and she knows it! I guess she is spoiled but hey when your the only girl I guess that happens. WTH all my kids are spoiled in their own way. Last night when we were eating dinner she said I am still going to that dance and I am dancing with all Marco's friends. I said good idea you show him that your not hurt anymore! This morning I was making their lunches in the kitchen and she came in and said do I look a girl who just got my heart broken? I said no of course not and she said good cuz I don't want anyone to think I am still sad. So she is trying to be over it. I also told her some retail therapy this weekend may help too. I am just itching to go shopping for some spring things. I hate to spend money anymore with this economy the way it is. It is just so unstable with jobs and all that I find myself wanting to hord my money. Maybe I will let some of the mothballs out this weekend and spend some money. Not like alot or anything just some LOL. I don't think alot of people are spending any money right now.

I hope everyone has a good day!

Broken heart

I got to work this morning and was only there about 20 minutes and my cell rang. It was Sarah crying asking me to come and get her because her BF broke up with her. My first thought was to make her tough it out but I couldn't do it because she was crying so hard. I told her ok I am on my way. I got there to pick her up and she looked like a mess. I gave her a huge hug and we talked in the car. I said that is why we break up with them before they have a chance to break up with us. Of course I got a smile out of her. I felt so bad for her because I know at her age her feelings are so real. We stopped at 7-11 to get a slurpee. She ended up getting the biggest slurpee, Doritos, Gardettos, 3 musketeers and a kit kat. I said to her see a little junk food and chocolate will cure a broken heart. She is at home eating her junk food and crying. Hopefully she will get it all out and feel better. It hurts me when she is upset. She has a dance to go to tomorrow night and hopefully she will be feeling better.

Sex

I know the title of this post is kinda inappropriate but hey someone has to talk about it. Having sex with teenagers in the house is seriously a task. It's not like they don't know what your doing because they do. When they were little you could pretty much tell them anything and they believed it. At 15 and 18 they know what is going on and it is quite embarrassing. You have to be creative with it. Nick and I both decided that morning is best because they all leave the house by 6:30 a.m. This morning we engaged in said act and the phone started ringing. Both of us not wanting to answer it but knew that the kids had just left and it could be something important that early in the morning. He got up and answered it and it was his step daughter. She is just rambling on and on. I told him to ask if everything was ok? She said yes and then I said quietly so she could not hear me to hang up the phone. I mean seriously mornings are our time not to be disturbed by any form of children.

I noticed this morning when I was getting in my car that my lillys are coming up. I get so excited this time every year for them to be coming up. Spring is coming. I love lillys!

Everyone have a good day!
