Friday

It is Friday and I am glad but I do have work tomorrow. It is the first Saturday I have worked in like 3 weeks so I can't bitch but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I am feeling full of hormones right now. Just kinda blah. I hate feeling this way. I had a few tough weeks with some pain issues with my arm and then my back so I am just trying to regroup. The matress was great!!!! I loved it and Nick did too. I have to go tonight and buy a gift for the shower tomorrow. I am excited about that. I hope the weather is good because she is having it outside at her house. The weather the last few days has been rainy and cool. I woke up this morning and it was dark :( I hate this time of year because I know Fall is coming and I actually like Fall but I hate Winter! Nick and I are thinking about taking the kids to Florida for Christmas. We have never done that and I think it would be nice! We are still looking at prices. I am excited to start my small group thru church. I am excited about football too. Just hate Winter! I hope we don't get another one like last year. We had wayyyy too much snow and it was too cold. The good thing is it seems to warm up earlier in the year like in February. I always try to look at it a different way in a much more postive aspect lol.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

Is it bed time yet?????

For the last month or so I have been having some back issues which I have had a few other times. It is weird tho I would wake up achy and then thru the day it would get better to only get worse again the next morning. Nick has also been having some back issues. I got to thinking about it and thought ya know my matress is 14 years old and maybe we need a new one. There are major indentions in it too. I went and looked last Friday and laid on one in the showroom and OMG I could not believe how good it felt on back. I took Nick back on Tuesday to see what one he liked and he liked it too. We had it delivered today and I cannot wait to go to bed tonight! I guess I didn't realize how expensive matresses are... I mean you can go all the way up to like $4,000.00 for a King. I like having a King but the price sure does stink. It is 2:30 now and I want to go to bed but I am at work. I am definitely gonna lay in it when I get home and watch the news or a movie or something. I need to try it out. Can you tell I am excited?

Sarah had her first game yesterday I went and they cheered good! I just can't believe Summer is pretty much over :(

I need to get back to work now. Have a great day!

Football

Tomorrow kicks off our football season at the high school. It is Sarah's first game to cheer at for JV. I love football season... I hate that it is Fall and Winter is right behind it but I love the football season. Sarah's BF and I have plans for her first game. She hates when I sit up close she always makes me move. She will wave her hands from the field kinda like motioning me to move up. We are gonna make signs to hold up and sit right in front LOL. I told him we need to get a horn too. Her BF is great I love him! He fits right into our family. At first he seemed so shy but he is not shy at all. Colleen and I had a little argument about him yesterday. As I was talking to her on the phone Bart (Sarah's BF) texted me and wanted to know what was for dinner? I told Colleen that and she just went off on this rant about how it is weird that he texts me. I told her that if he was gonna be Sarah's BF I want to really know who he is and I want him to feel comfortable around me. I don't see anything wrong with it. He has pretty much been at our house every night which I told them to enjoy that now cuz after school starts that is not happening. First of all because she has cheer after school everyday from 5:30 to 8:30 and then homework. It does not bother me at all that he comes over. Sometimes Colleen just says whatever is on her mind whether it is hurtful or not. I have been getting annoyed with her lately. She just seems so angry all the time and ready to jump down your throat. I guess when we were younger it was funny but it is not so funny anymore. It makes it hard to be around her sometimes.

Dom got some of his books for college and OMG one book was $200.00. I told him I used to love to get my books that it excited me so much. He thought that was weird. One of his book was 2500 pages long. He ended up taking 16 credits which I told him I thought was too much for your first semester but ya know you can't tell them anything cuz they know it all. He will learn fast when all he is doing is homework.

Marco's first home game is next week. I can't wait to see him march on the field with the big ole bass drum. He looks so cute with it and I just love the drumline! The twins have Cougar days tomorrow where you have to pay for everything up front, pictures, yearbook etc. It is just coming right along LOL I don't want Summer to end but I know I have no choice.

I do plan on doing a post from home so I can put some pictures on here of the Woodward Cruise and of Louie the goat LOL

I hope everyone has a good day!

Blogging

I have had alot to blog about lately but really didn't feel like blogging. Lots of things going on around here. The Woodward cruise was great... I didn't have a drink all day. I mostly drank water because it was so hot out. A few weeks ago we went to another cruise and I drank beer in the heat and pretty much felt like shit at 7:00 in the evening. So this time I decided not to do that. I had a great time and got home at like 8:30 at night and felt great! This week has been the Armada Fair which we went to Wednesday night and we are going to go tomorrow night too. I am exhausted! Summer is tiring. Every night when I get home I say I am going to bed early tonight and it never happens. Last night I fell asleep at like midnight. It was supposed to rain all day yesterday and I was glad for that so when I got home I would not feel guilty about laying around. I got home and it was beautiful out so the cycle started all over again. That is pretty much the only thing I hate about Summer the lack of rest.

Sarah's first game is Wednesday her boyfriend and I have plans to keep yelling her name and making huge signs LOL. They start school September 3rd. It is crazy. Dom starts college that day too. I still can't believe he is going to college.

I got a few good posts to do I am at work and hopefully will do them when I get home tonight if I don't fall asleep first.

Have a good weekend!

Woodward

This Monday kicked off the week of the Woodward Cruise. Woodward is street that runs thru several cities and back in the 50's they used to cruise it every weekend. People come from different States to go to this cruise. It is alot of fun!!!! They cruise every night until Saturday which is the official cruise. Try to picture this tho it is a stretch of about 12 miles just packed with classic cars, little stands, bars with all the glass out and people sitting in there watching, TV stations, radio stations and sometimes huge big screens in the median. It is amazing. I look forward to this every year. I am sure I talked about it last year but again I am too lazy to look back at my blog. We went last night and I just get so excited when I hear the sounds of the hot rods. We are going tonight too I just can't wait.

Next week kicks off my favorite fair to go to here. The last few weeks of summer are going by too fast. I can't believe the kids start school in a few weeks. It just seems as tho summer went by way to fast. This next week is supposed to be really nice weather tho.

OK sit down to read this because your not going to believe it. DOM GOT A JOB!!!!! Yes he finally got a job at the 711 right by our house. He started Tuesday and of course I had to go in to see him then he worked today and yes I went in again at lunch to get a water. I said Hi hunny and his reply to me was I hate my job. LOL Welcome to the wonderful world of being an adult LOL. I am so proud of him tho. He starts college in a few weeks. I am excited but sad cuz my baby is an adult. I am still trying to process it. I know by now you would think I got it but I just don't yet LOL.

I hope everyone has a good week well almost weekend!!!

tennis elbow

So after a few weeks of bitching and being in pain I finally could not take it anymore! I went to the drs to find out I have tennis elbow. WTH how do you get that when I don't even play tennis lol. It is what it is and it hurts. I was crying last night it was just relentless. I almost went to ER but decided against it because I didn't want to sit there forever. He also gave me a steriod pack which I won't take because I am not a huge fan of steroids. He said if it does not get better in a few weeks that I need to come back and get a steriod shot. I am hoping it goes away. I am putting ice on it and that seems to help. My dr is also having issues right now with the same thing and he said he is on week 6. I was like oh hell no I sure hope this don't last that long!

Tomorrow we leave bright and early to go get Marco from band camp and it is also the twins birthday tomorrow. I still can't believe they are going to be 16. Marco is so home sick right now and I feel so bad for him. I am missing him huge too! Our house is quiet.

I am falling asleep at the laptop here so I am gonna go rest and hopefully this elbow thing will feel better. It actually already is the band thing seems to help.

Have a good day!

relief

I am finally getting some needed relief from this pinched nerve. It feels great!!!!

Remember I told you before about my step-daughter R well, she has some issues a few months ago that landed her in jail. She stayed the whole weekend and got out on Sunday. Her mom was pissed because she had felt she hit rock bottom. I agreed that she did. I am not sure if I posted about the whole situation or not and I am too lazy to go back and look. Anyway, she ended up going to counseling and a pshyciartrist (spelling). The dr told her she has maniac states and borderline bi-polar. He gave her a bunch of different meds to take and she has been doing fantastic. She got a new job that she worked at for almost 2 weeks. I was so proud of her until I got the call Friday from her mom saying she was at the ER for pain in her side. They said she had fibroids and sent her home. I talked to her Saturday and she seemed a little bit better. Saturday she asked her mom to take her back to the hospital and her mom said no. She drove herself there and has been there ever since. She went to a different hospital than what she was at on Friday. They really can't find anything wrong with her they have done MRI's CAT SCANS and everything. They told her yesterday it was probably Irritable Bowel. She keeps complaining to them and saying she is pain. Her mom is at her witts end with this shit and I totally understand. I don't understand how there could be something wrong every few months that takes someone 6 months to get over. She is 32 and she has been living at home and moving out briefly for awhile now. Her mom has pretty much been paying her bills. I would be sick of it too. Her mom told me today that R wants exploratory surgery to find out what is going on. I just don't understand that. I would want to be out of there so fast. Her mom also told me today that she is a total head job and that was about her own daughter. I understand I really do. I mean at one point you think your kids are on their own and then they are back home and expecting you to pay all their bills. Frustrating I guess is the only way I can explain it. I am not going to see her because I start to feel bad for her and want to baby her. That is not what she needs. She needs some coping skills or something like that.

Marco has been texting me like crazy from band camp. This morning he told me he was homesick and I said no your mama sick LOL. He said yep. I thought by now he would outgrow the mama's boy thing but he hasn't. I mean it is not to the extreme but he is a mama's boy.

Last night Franco came over we played some spoons. I don't care how old you get that game is always fun! I hate to lose too I am not sure if I ever mentioned that LOL. I am a poor sport. It is pretty hot and humid out today and I am loving it! I love it hot and humid. Tomorrow it is supposed to be even hotter YES! I hope everyone enjoys their day!

busy weekend

We had such a busy weekend... fun but busy. Saturday after work we went to 2 parties once was at my cousin's house they call it the summer bash. This year they got a luge. I don't know if you have ever seen one but it is pretty cool. They pour shots down it and it goes thru the ice and you drink it at the end. My uncles were both asking what is that. I kept saying you will see it when it is done. When they got done with it my one uncle wanted to do it so he did. He is like 64 and I was shocked that he did it not once but 3 times. We all were cracking up at him. It was a fun party but we had to leave at like 7:00 to go to our other party which was on the other side of town. That was a huge party like 150 people. We only knew the people that were having the party so we didn't stay long and went back to my cousin's house. Sunday was the cruise day. We left the house at like 10:00 and didn't get home til like 8:00. It was FANTASTIC! I had such a great time. We had 3 little tents set up and alot of friends there. I got a little too buzzed. I guess when your drinking and out in the sun all day you loose track of how many drinks you have had. Nick was packing up last night to go home and he said how many beers did you and Sharyl have. I said I don't know how many empty cans are there. He said 18 and I said then I guess we drank 18 beers. Yeah 18 beers between 2 girls is alot. I got home and felt like total complete shit. I took 2 Tylenol and went to bed. I still didn't feel quite right this morning but this afternoon it is getting better. I am not 20 anymore but I sure feel like it LOL. I will leave you with a picture of us girls at the cruise yesterday. I am the one in the white Tshirt and I have no idea what I am doing LOL. Have a great week!

Saturday

It is Saturday and I am working :( I hate working Saturdays because I hate getting up when the kids are at their dad's house. That means Nick and I have the morning to ourselves and I have to leave. It sucks! I only work like 1 Saturday a month but it still sucks. Besides the fact that my favorite Mall is having a sidewalk sale this weekend that I want to go to. I was gonna go last night but I was just too tired. Victoria's Secret has their hoodies and sweat pants for half off right now. I love their hoodies. If you have never tried one you need to they are the softest and warmest ones I have ever tried. Normally they are $49.50 and this weekend they are $25.00. The mall is in the same parking lot as my work so I will hop over there after work and grab some for Sarah and I. The twins birthday is Friday... I can't believe they are going to be 16 OMG 16 it is amazing to me. Time sure flys by. That will be part of Sarah's b-day gift. I don't think that I mentioned last weekend her and I went to Victoria's Secret on a mission. She wanted to try thong underware. I told her when she turned 16 she could try one. Well, the time is here so I took her there and tried to talk her into getting the ones that have lace because I find those to be the most comfortable. She ended up with just the regular ones. I was sad about this but I can't keep her from growing up. Most of her friends have been wearing thongs since like 13. Now that she has tried them she really isn't a big fan. It takes time to get used to them. While we were there I wanted a bra so badly. They are like 50.00! When I was married before I only wore Victoria's Secret everything. The bras are expensive but they last forever. So I decided to get fitted for one. See I have this thing going on with my boobs. One is fairly larger than the other like at least a 1/2 of cup size. They fitted me and said I was a 38C. I said nahh that will never work for me because of my one small boob LOL. I tried it on and it worked perfectly so I bought it. I was loving the fact that I had a Victoria's Secret bra again LOL. I am gonna get Sarah fitted for one when I get some extra money. I swear she will probably be like a 34D. I think it is important to have that support tho especially when your larger chested. It helps your back alot!

After I go to the mall we have 2 parties to go to. I am excited about both of them but the only thing is they are each on the opposite ends of town. See here in the Detroit area we have the East side and the West side. I am from the East side and I love the East side. The West side is nice as well but the people are very different. More snobby if you will. The East side people are much more down to earth LOL. I am sure the West siders will tell you the same thing about us. When I worked at a company years ago we had a lot of people transfer in from other States. They always said I don't get the East side West side thing. I used to tell them to go to the East side then the West side and you tell me the difference. They always would come back and say OMG it is a huge difference. I used to say see I told ya! So we will travel to one party and then get in the car and go about 40 miles to the other side of town being the West and go to another party which means we cannot drink because one of us has to drive and it is not fair for one to drink and not the other. It will still be fun.

Tomorrow we have church and another cruise day. I love cruise days they are so fun! I hope everyone enjoys their weekend. :)
