I have been wondering for a few weeks about the way people dress. Seriously, at the cruise last weekend I seen a lady who had on pink short overalls with one strap undone. Ok that went out like 10 or 12 years ago. I seen women who had on haltar tops with fat hanging out the sides. These women were in their late 50's early 60's. You have to wonder to yourself do they even own a mirror. Seriously, why don't their friends say something... I know mine would. I told Nick I would love to have one free pass for a day to tell everyone that was dressed that way... the way I feel about it LOL. I would say something like hey we need to talk about what your wearing. Today at work a lady came in with her husband and kids. She was wearing a light green t-shirt, navy blue pants with little freggen palm trees on them. Are you serious... come on you have to know that looks stupid as hell! Nick would never let me buy something like that! My kids would have a fit. I guess in their minds they think it looks good and they can wear it at home! I mean fashion is all over the papers and magazines can't they see that it is not wise to do that! I also really enjoy the muffin tops I see running around. They should just buy one size bigger in pants and that would not happen. They would look so much better too! It would flatter their figure more that squeezing in a smaller size pants. To me it is just common sense but I guess everyone doesn't have that. I would not be able to stand something that tight on my stomach it would drive me nuts!
We have been so busy the last few days at work because of the storm. I have done more patio table tops in the last few days than I have done in years. I think I am in patio table top hell. They are a pain in the ass too!
Colleen's mom is still on life support and they are doing an EEG right now to determine how much brain damage she has if any. I hope everything is ok with her. I guess she opens her eyes and squints her face to pain which I think is a good thing. Keep them in your prayers!

Surprise!
I got home yesterday to find out that our basement flooded again! This time it was worse than the night before. Nick was down there for a few hours getting it all cleaned up. The sump pump got stuck again so I think he is going to replace it today. Our area is horrible for basements everyone on my street has been having problems. SUCKS!!!
When I got home yesterday I was watching the news to see what they had to say about Michael Jackson. I am so sad that he died! Our local news came on and said that Morris Day and the Time were gonna be at the fireworks that we were going to! Nick and I love Morris Day and the Time a great group from a great era. We watched the fireworks and then headed over to the stage where they were playing. They played an hour and it was free to everyone. We had a great time. I was trying to teach my kids the dance and they thought I was out of my mind. Everyone was doinng the bird he even brought people on stage to dance with him. He played Gigilos Get Lonely Too OMG that used to be one of my favorite songs of his. They had big screens set up in case you were not close enough to see him. We could see him but I was still looking at the big screen. It was great!!!!! The fireworks were awesome too. Every year they feel like they are right on top of us.
I got a great anniversary card from Nick. I will take a picture of it and post it on here because it was that cute. He drew a little message on it for me. I got him a card and some lottery tickets. We didn't exchange gifts because we have to buy an air conditioner LOL. It was great just spending time with him!
Colleen just called me crying. Her mom was put in the hospital yesterday and they called Colleen last night at 2:30 a.m. and told her she needed to come to the hospital. Her mom's heart stop and they had to revive her and she is now on a ventilator. They are running more tests but she is unconscieous (spelling?). They will know more after the tests. Please say a prayer for her and her family. I want to be there with her but I am at work until 1:00. I will head up there after work. I am very sad for her!

Storms!
Just as I hit publish on the last post yesterday a storm came out of no where. It was a storm like I have never seen before. I was sitting at the computer and the power went out, then the wind started blowing so hard that I could not even see out the front windows of the store. It looked like a white out of snow only it was rain. Lightening everywhere it was terrible. I kept looking out the window in pure amazement. All of a sudden it looked like the lightening came down right in front of the window, the front door flew open with water coming in everywhere and I went running into the shop screaming my head off. I didn't realize there was a customer standing there that could not make it to her car. She was an older lady and she immediately started rubbing my back saying it is ok hunny. One of the guys ran up shut and locked the front door. By this point the showroom was wet and everything went flying! We had hail the size of quarters. The storm lasted about 45 minutes. I was also worried about the kids because they were all not home. I started calling their cells in a paranoid voice (pretty much screaming) at them what are you doing. I called Nick's phone almost in tears I seriously thought our building was gonna blow away. He kept telling me hunny its just a storm I said no I have never seen anything like this. I told him it is like a hurricane or something. He was telling me where he was it was just raining. Finally it started to calm down but all our bay doors were open so I had to stay until someone could come with a huge ladder to put them down so I could go home. As I was driving home there was traffic everywhere because all the lights were out. I came down my street and it was flooded. As I pulled in the driveway and hit the garage button I was just hoping it was gonna open and it did. We didn't lose our power but man my patio furniture was everywhere and the basement flooded from the sump pump. I turned the news on so I could see what was going on and they were in my subdivision. Apparently our area was the hardest hit with yes I was right hurricane strength winds! It was just awful! Huge trees were just cracked in half and transformers hit.
I was already upset that Farrah died yesterday and then when the news came on that Michael Jackson died I was in complete shock. I mean he was so much a part of my days growing up. I had a huge poster of him on my wall because ya know I was gonna marry him one day LOL. I agree that as he got older he was a little out there but OMG he was a fantastic performer. I love his music. They have been playing tributes to him on the radio all day today and I have been loving it. I also watched that 20/20 special about Farrah last night and it broke my heart.
I am going to the fireworks tonight with the family and some friends which will be fun. I am missing my hubby today because it is our anniversary so I would love to be with him but we both have to work to pay for that air conditioner LOL. Four years ago today when I married him I knew I was marrying my soul mate. I didn't think it was possible for me to love him anymore today that I did then but it is. I adore him. He has what I don't and that is rationalization. I am a spaz for the mostpart. I have what he doesn't that is my crazyness. It has rubbed off on him and he has learned to roll with it. I love that we balance each other. Happy anniversary to the man I adore!

Fireworks
I am not sure if I mentioned it before but the 4th of July is my favorite holiday!!! I love that it is summer, BBQ's and hot nights! Every year I find all the firework displays in our area and I make Nick take me to all of them. One year we went to like 9 of them. I am a freak about them. My kids enjoy them alot too and I think Nick does now. When we made our wedding date it was in the driveway of my house while the whole neighborhood was lit up with fireworks. I said I want to get married around the 4th of July! Tomorrow is our anniversary! June 26th we will be married 4 years and I love him more now than I did then. We understand each other more now than we did then and the list goes on... Nick and I went to the Detroit Fireworks last night and it was amazing! We sat right on the river and it was a perfect hot summer night. We met some people that ended up living right by us and just enjoyed each others company. It was great! We are going to fireworks again tomorrow night and I think like 4 next week. Like I said I love them!
Nick was playing a joke on my niece the other night and said I love your aunt so much that I decided to make the city have fireworks for her on our anniversary. She said Really? He said yes. She believe him and I started laughing and said OMG are you serious? She also said the bad part about that joke was if her husband ever told her that she would believe him LOL. That made me crack up.
We are having a heat wave here in Michigan it has been in the mid 90's with like 70 percent humidity and my air conditioner broke :( I had a guy come look at it yesterday and at first he said it was the freeon then he said we needed a whole new unit. This was not in our budget. We were supposed to go to Michigan Adventures next week but now that is put on hold. Needless to say we are sweating it out it was 94 in our house last night. I was sweating just laying in bed. They are gonna fix it Monday. I wish they could come today to do it but no such luck. Nick told me that he bought me an air conditioner for our anniversary. I am happy with that even tho I told him no household appliances for gifts this one is ok.
I hope everyone has a good day!

Do what your mama says
We all think our kids don't listen to us EVER! I know I constantly feel like a nag repeating myself on important life issues with the kids only to get the eyeroll or the look like I have no clue what I am talking about. Dom got a nice amount of money from both his parties. I told him please don't spend that on stupid stuff try to save it so you have it. His party at his dad's house was last weekend and he got even more money. He called me today at work to see if he could come up to my work to see if his IPOD was in my car this was how the conversation went:
Dom: Mom can I come and look for my IPOD in your car?
Me: Sure Dom Why?
Dom: The last time I had it was in your car at the dentist and I can't find it. I need it to work out I can't work out without it. If I don't find it in your car I am gonna go buy a new one cuz I need it to work out. In fact I want to get the IPOD touch.
Me: I think you should look all over for it before you buy a new one.
Dom: Yeah mom I have been trying to rationalize in my head spending $220.00 on a new one. It is different when your spending your own money. Ya know that $100.00 I took out of the bank last week well I still have $90.00 of it.
Me: Well that is good I am glad your being conservative with your money.
Dom: Do you think it is a bad thing that I spend $220.00 on one to treat myself?
Me: No but I still think you should look for it.
Dom: Mom I understand how it is now when it is your money.
Me: AHAAAAA you finally get it.
This was a nice moment for me in fact I have been basking in the glory of it all day. You think they never listen but obviously he has listened to me! That is a great accomplishment.
In other news my twins had a little drinking party with their step brother (a police officer) after the party. They were playing beer pong with him and his friends. Talk about being pissed. I was sooooo mad! I called their dad and told him this and he was equally pissed. I am dissappointed at the twins too but I remember being that age and I did it too. We all did it I just feel like this is so different now because it is my kids. I was just trying to explain to them that in a non controlled environment anything can happen. I was not ok with the fact that Sarah was with a bunch of drunk 23 year olds. The step brother did not even remember playing beer pong with them that is how drunk he was. Just a stupid situation all together. I think they have learned their lesson tho. Between me and their dad I think we got our point accross. It was offered to Dom too but he refused. I swear my kids have such different personalities.
It is beautiful outside I did not even come in last night until 10:40. I was cleaning my car and enjoying the weather. Tomorrow night are the Detroit Fireworks which my husband has never seen. They are amazing!!! We are packing a cooler with food and beverages and heading down there. It is gonna be in the 90's tomorrow. It should be fun.
Colleen came home today after being gone for a week to Conneticut. I missed her terribly. I told Nick we have that love hate sister thing going on. I could not wait for her to come home! I bitch about her being up my ass when she is home then when she is gone I am missing her go figure LOL.
Enjoy your day!

Fathers Day
Today is a bad day for me. I was so excited to go to church today because we have not been there in 2 weeks because of the graduation and the party. Church always lifts me up. Today at church of course the subject was fathers. I was doing good until the end when a man got up and read a letter he wrote to his dad. It started out with the phone call he just got from his dad saying he had cancer. Then the tears started and I just could not stop crying. I had no kleenex because I was not expecting to cry like that. We were walking out to the car and I was trying to keep it together but the tears just came flowing. After we went to lunch I finally started to calm down. I think of him daily most of the time without tears just a smile. I am proud to be his daughter and I am proud that he is my dad. I have so many great memories and that is what gets me thru. I always remember him telling me "hunny I am always gonna be with you" I carry that thought with my everyday. I just miss him!

Its a boy!!!
Colleen's daugther went for her ultrasound today and found out it is a boy! She is so excited and so am I. She told me a few months ago that she wanted me at the hospital with her when she is in labor and for the delivery. I am wayyyyy excited about that! I have had 3 children and have never seen a baby born before. It should interesting. Although, the way Colleen and I bicker it could prove to be some sort of comedy of some sort LOL. It will be interesting to say the least. Colleen was asking me last week if she goes in the labor in the middle of the night would I still come and I said yes I will be there no matter what time it is. I am excited! Now we can start buying boy clothes. We have been unsure this whole time. Colleen kept saying it was a girl and I kept saying boy.
Tonight we are taking the Chevelle out with Marsha and her hubby to an old fashioned drive thru restaurant where the girls are on skates. Then we are going to a cruise night. I hope the weather holds up!

The dream
I will start this out by saying that by nature I am a flirt. I don't mean anything by it at all it is just my personality. If I am drinking it gets worse. I hold my marriage very sacred and would never do anything to harm that.
Colleen's BF has a brother we will just call him K. The first time I met him was before I married to Nick so probably like 2004 or so. I went to Colleen's house and he was there. She introduced us and I said hi nice to meet you. We stayed and visited for awhile just talking and laughing. K is married and at the time had one daugther and another on the way. I got up in the kitchen to get something to drink and he walked over and started like messing around hitting me and stuff. I was hitting right back at him because I don't take that shit from nobody LOL. Then all of a sudden he picked me up and twirled me in a circle. I was like OK I can't top that one because I can't pick you up. He is cute and I didn't think anything of it because like I said he is married and I was engaged to Nick. Colleen would tell me little tidbits here and there like K thinks your hot and I was flattered of course but that was it. She always said I know that if you two weren't involved with someone else you would be together. That could very well be a possiblity but the idea is null and void because I am married to man I love. Everytime we would get together when I was alone he would always flirt with me even if his wife is around. Personally I would of got pissed if I was his wife because he always takes it a step farther. I like him in the friendship way so it is hard to get mad at him. He is fun to be around too. When Nick was around he would never do anything out of the way because he didn't want to piss him off. Nick and K are friends now too so now K thinks it is ok because Nick does not get mad. Nick knows how I feel about our marriage and has no threat at all to it. Now K feels he can do whatever he wants and sometimes it is funny and sometimes not so much.
Lets back up to a few weeks ago we went to his house for a BBQ on Memorial Weekend. We got there at about 6:00 and K was feeling no pain. Nick and I walked in the backyard and he walked over picked me up and gave me a big hug and shook Nick's hand. We were enjoying ourselves sitting and eating. K says in front of everyone damn she is beautiful. I had no idea he was talking about me so he says you Kelly I mean you. I said thank you. The night went on and I had to go to the bathroom. I went inside his house and he followed me and started knocking on the door. I was like hello??? Hurry up he said. I said ok I will. I came out of the bathroom and he had a big smile on his face I continued to walk out. I gave Nick a big hug when I got outside because I was feeling kinda weird about the situation. The night went on and he kept wanting me to lift my shirt LOL. I was like Oh hell no I don't do that. Nick kept looking at me like don't you dare. I would not do that ever! When I was younger yeah I would of done it in a heartbeat but now hell NO! So K kept saying it over and over like a broken record. His wife was getting a tad bit annoyed and I don't blame her. When we got in the car to come home Nick said Damn K was not holding back tonight and I said yeah it was making me a little bit uncomfortable. Nick will also tease me when he knows he is gonna be where we are going and say oh are you getting dressed up for K. It is totally a joke.
So lets get to this dream I had last night... I dreamt that I kissed him ???!!!???? WTH is that all about? I have always had this thing that I can tell if I really like someone the first time we kiss and if it is not there it is not there. In this dream it was totally not there. I am just wondering why the hell I would dream about kissing him? It has been bothering me all morning. I am totally in love with Nick and would never do anything to harm that so why would I dream about kissing someone else??? Does anyone have any input on this? I have always wondered if dreams tell your real emotions?
On a totally different note I have had sinus problems for the past year really and when I found out that I needed a root canal on my top tooth I kinda thought that was maybe why I was having these sinus problems. The tooth was abcessed and it is the one right next to the front tooth. The last few months when I wake up in the morning or middle of the night my nose is always so stuffy and I can't stand it. The last 2 mornings I have woke up with a clear nose! It must of been that tooth. I am so glad about this because I was started to get really annoyed with it. I guess it makes sense the end of the root sits right on your sinuses so if it is infected then I guess your sinuses can become bothered too.
It is raining here today :( I hope everyone has a good day!

Blog Absent
I have not been blogging in a few days and I miss it. I just have been so busy with graduation things mostly the party. The party went great! We ended up with about 120 people at the hall and then Dom invited his friends back to the house for a bonfire. We had about 30 kids. A few of our friends came over too so it was a nice relaxing night. I actually enjoyed that more than I enjoyed the hall party. It seems when your the host you don't really enjoy the party. Too many things going on and people to greet. The kids were all sitting back by the bonfire and we have no fences in our backyard so all of a sudden about 4 kids came running with their faces painted and they got everyone with silly string. It was funny but then it happened 2 more times and then it was not so funny anymore. I went into the house and got the carton of eggs, gave them to the kids and said sit right here as it was dark out so they would not be seen and throw them at the kids when they come again. Marco tipped the kids off because it was all in fun that they had eggs so the kids that were doing it came in peace from the front yard LOL. I swear these kids have fun doing this stuff. I told Dom tho we need to pay them back this week by maybe saran wrapping their cars LOL.
Yesterday I made dentist appointments for all 5 of us. The kids and Nick were getting their teeth cleaned. I was getting a root canal and my teeth cleaned. Our appointments started at 2:30 and we did not leave the dentist until 6:35!!! It was crazy... the kids were getting pissed because they had to wait for Nick and I. When we got home I decided I was going to go for a walk. I was coming up the driveway and Nick met me with my purse and keys and said don't freak out but Sarah called and Marco just cut his chin at the school. We got in the car as I was trying not to panic. We pulled up and Sarah was as white as a ghost and full of blood on her shirt from Marco. Marco had paper towel on his chin. I said let me see it and I was immidiately grossed out. I am not good at things like this I could see the insides just hanging out. I looked at Nick and said we need to go to the ER. We were in and out in about an hour which is good but he ended up with 6 stitches. He was great about it too! I was surprised he normally freaks out over stuff like that. I think Sarah was more freaked out than him but I will tell you what she never left his side. The twin thing is amazing. They will always have that special bond. We did not get home till like 9:00 and I was exhausted. Marco is feeling a little better today last night it burned all night long.
I will post the pictures from the graduation soon when I am at home because they are on my laptop.
I hope everyone has a great day! The weather here has been beautiful!

Busy
I have been trying to blog about the graduation ceremony since Sunday but I have been so busy I just have not had time. I want to post pictures and things but I just have not found the time. The weekend was crazy busy and it just continued into the week and does not stop til next week.
Today was the twins last day of school. They are pretty pumped! They are going to a party tonight at their friends house for silly string and shaving cream fight. I am so glad it is not at my house :) I am excited for them too however, I am not excited about the fact they will be staying up later. I hate when I am in bed and I can hear them in the great room watching tv, making snacks and then waking up in the morning to a mess in the kitchen. I am gonna try to put my foot down and say that they need to be in their bedrooms by 11:00. We shall see how that will work. The only thing that I am not excited about is yes they are out of school but the activities continue all thru summer. Cheerleading just started Sarah is on the JV team this year and marching band has already started. I am glad they are involved but it still seems as tho they don't get a full summer. It is ok cuz I know they enjoy it. After last summer of them being up late when fall came and they started school they were in bed by like 9:00 because they were exhausted. Not because I told them they had to and I said to Nick the first night OMG this is sooooooo nice :)
Gotta get to work I will post the pictures and stories from the graduation soon.

Nick
I know I said Nick was going fishing this morning with his brother on the boat. I was hoping he was going to relax and have a good time. I just talked to him and he is on his way home because apparently the lake was rough and he started to not feel good. He took a Dramamine and then proceeded to puke. He still feels shitty but stopped puking. He is going home to lay down. I am so sad for him. That sure didn't work out the way I had hoped for him.
Great Lakes State
I have lived in Michigan my whole life. I hate the winters they suck! The summers and falls in Michigan are amazing. Summer here is so beautiful! I only live 10 minutes from one of the Great Lakes and it is great. In fact, where we live there are Lakes and rivers running off the lakes. Three doors down from my house is one of the branches of the Clinton River which runs off of Lake St. Clair. The state itself has so much to offer all year round but I am not so much a winter person. We have ski lodges, great snow mobiling and of course hunting. In the summer tho there is just nothing like it. In Kid Rock's song he mentions the summers in Michigan and I agree! I sat outside last night with friends on my deck and I was just loving it. I could sit out there all night. However, I am working today and Nick is out on the boat with his brother fishing :( I am so jealous. He just called to let me know what they are doing. I said are you trying to rub it in and he said no. Yeah right!
I called in sick yesterday at work and I next to never do that. I started getting a tooth ache Thursday during the day. Thursday night I was thinking crap I better go to the dentist tomorrow. So knowing if I came to work I would not go because we would get busy and I wouldn't have time. I went to the dentist yesterday for one tooth that was hurting and it was just the gum around the tooth that was aggravated. The dentist decided to do a full set of Xrays and one tooth that was not even hurting has an abcess on it. I couldn't believe it because the tooth does not even have a cavity. I need a root canal in that tooth now and I am nervous because it is one of the front ones and they want to crown it. I just hopes it looks good after.
Tomorrow is the big day for Dom. I am getting my kleenex ready because I know it will be an emotional day. I am soooo proud tho!!!
Terri I hope your making it thru your week good :)
Everyone enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Nitely rituals
So every night I am up at least 1 time to go to the bathroom. It is usually between 2 and 4. Sometimes I am up more than once depending on how much water I drank that day. Last night I got up at like 3:45 to go to the bathroom. I finished and got back in bed. I got all nice and comfy and then it happened. I has some gas and it lasted for like what seemed like 1 minute. It just would not stop. I thought to myself damn I am glad Nick is sleeping. All of a sudden I hear him start cracking up. I was like OMG you are up!!! He could not even answer me because he was laughing so hard. Now WTH was he doing up that late. He is never up in the middle of the night. I know this because this is not the first time this has happened. It is also part of the my nitely rituals LOL. I started laughing uncontrollably! It was hiliarious. I got busted doing something I pretty much do every night. Sometimes I actually feel bad because there may be a smell LOL and he just sleeps right thru it. I am cracking up just typing this.

Brother from another mother
I have a cousin we will call him J that my dad pretty much raised. My dad lived up north and owned a nice steak house/seafood restaurant. J would come up every summer and pretty much every break from school to work at the restaurant. J's parents were alcoholics so his home life was not very desireable. My dad the great man he was took J under his wing and taught him the necessities in life that he didn't get at home. So J pretty much became our brother in a sense. He is 8 years younger than me and when he was little I used to babysit him when his parents would go out on their wild festivities. I was very close to him and babied him every chance I got. The older we got the closer we got. Every holiday weekend we would head up to my dads and sit up til 5:00 a.m. talking and laughing it was a tradition. He is hiliarious and I have always seen so much of my dad in him. He is very good looking and when he was a teenager I remember going to the ice cream shop in my dad's little town and the girl asked me if I was J's sister and I said yes and her reply to me was can I touch you??? I was like why? She said cuz he is sooo hot! I cracked up! I went home to tell him and he was embarrassed because he didn't like her because every time he would go into town she would follow him around. It was funny we all got a kick out of that for a long time. He ended up getting his GF pregnant and had son who is now 13. They never married and J would get him every other weekend. So when I got divorced he would spend those weekends at my house because he was not quite sure what to do with his son. He would stay at my sister's house too. Sometimes it would become aggravating because he would lay around and watch basketball or some sport and I would take care of all the kids. Again, I never bitched because I love him. I used to laugh because I told my mom I think my neighbors think I am a whore LOL. He would come over and then I had a guy BF that would come over and my neighbors did not know who any of them were becaues they did not know me. We would crack up about that and kinda make jokes as J would leave. J had a pretty rough life. His momm died when he was in his 20's and his sister that he adored died in a terrible car accident just 2 years later. He would always say "I am your brother from another mother" LOL I always admired his strength! He got married in 2003 to a great girl that I like as well. They now have a 3 year old little boy. They only live a mile away from me but since my dad died we don't get together that much. I think of him alot but it just seems our schedules are crazy.
We text alot.... and I have been getting these crazy messages from him. I would respond with WTH does that mean and he would send me one back saying something not even related to what I asked him. This has been going on for a few weeks now. So last I decided to sit down and watch Jon and Kate Plus 8 to see what all the hype was about. J started texting me crazy crap again that I had no idea what he meant. I was home alone and enjoying the quiet and I would just start cracking up at the crap he was sending me. He finally gave me an explanation. He told me that when he gets texts he forwards them to everyone and then compares peoples responses. I was like that makes sense I thought you were losing your mind LOL. Then the fun began. I laughed my ass off. He would send me stuff and then I would send random stuff back. We share the same weird sense of humor. Last night while I was making dinner I was cooking green beans. Everyone was sitting at the table waiting and I look over at all of them and said "do you want some green beans they are green and they are beans". They looked at me weird because I was saying it in a weird voice. When I think something is funny I say it a few times and laugh at myself LOL. Nobody else thought it was funny but me! I texted J that same thing about beans and the response he sent me back was "I like alfefa sprouts myself. I was never that partial to beans." I doubt this was his response but he musta sent mine to someone else and it is funny! I am not sure if he forwards these to everyone in his address book but it doesn't matter because it is hiliarious. Leave it up to him to think of something like this. The text I got this morning was They call me rosco peeko train choo choo choo. Not sure again where that came from but it is funny as hell. I have been sharing in his game and I think it is funny!
Sarah had a little meltdown last night. Yesterday was her first day of conditioning for cheer. She started her period Sunday so she was already moody. Conditioning kicked her butt. She was tired and when I picked her up she didn't say word to me in the car. That is so not like her. We got home she went to her room and shut the door. I opened the door and said what is going on. She started to cry. I gave her a hug and said what is wrong? She said Finals and cheer I am just so stressed. I hugged her while she cried and when I wallked out the sleeve of my shirt was all wet :( Nick took her for a Dairy Queen after dinner and that seemed to help LOL.
Gotta run I need to get some work done. I have been workin gon this post for like 2 hours LOL

Random stuff
I got up Sunday morning late so I was rushed to get ready for church. We made it on time actually. Colleen called and wanted to meet us at church she has never been to our church. We met up there and she talked the entire service. Not just talk but talking very loudly. She is my best friend but sometimes she is just plain rude LOL. I can take it for the mostpart but sometimes my hormonal state does not allow for much of it. She does not care if she is talking about the people in front of us she just says it. I am so not like that. I mean I love to people watch but I am quiet if I do say something. Not her she just blurts it out. I was getting a little embarrassed and mad. After church we went to lunch where the saga continued . By the time we left the restaurant I was ready to choke her. Nick thinks it is funny, however, me not so much. It is kinda like she is still in high school when she does it. I love her to death but sometimes just sometimes she needs to watch what she says. We went to Nick's mom for her birthday and that was fun. When we got home I stuffed a sandwich in me and off we went to the youth group meeting. I am so excited to be working with these kids in the fall. I can't wait! Courtney's mom is gonna be my co-leader now we are both excited. We have all kinds of things planned already.
Dom's commencements are this Sunday. They are outside so I am hoping for good weather. His graduation party is June 13th and the little shit put it on his Facebook. I had 120 people on my guest list and I checked his Facebook and he has 132 friends confirmed coming to his party. That does not include anyone on my list. So I am worried now that we won't have enough food. Holy shit that is over 200 people. We will just have to wait and see but this should be fun LOL. It will be fun no matter how many people come we will make it work. My mom is going to his commenecements and the party. That should be fun too... she cracks me up. She will be yelling crap out I am sure.
Nick got up this morning and said I guess this puts an end to our morning activities. I started cracking up because I was just thinking that on Friday. We will have to find someway somehow LOL.
Have a good Monday!
