blog absent

I know I have not posted in a week and that is not like me... we have been really busy! My kids are keeping me running and running! I am glad football season is almost over that will make life a little bit easier. There have been so many things going on I just don' t know what to blog about LOL.

Lets start with Dom's birthday. He ended up going to dinner with his friends and then they all came back to the house for cake. There was about 20 of them. In Michigan the newer houses only have what we call a great room which is one huge room. So they were all in there and I decided to go in my room and hide LOL. I kept coming out and talking to them because I do truly enjoy them just in small does. The last one left at like 1:30 a.m. We got Dom a Blackberry for his birthday and he is loving every minute of it. The poor kid is exhausted half the time. He took 16 credits this semester. I told him 12 would be enough but ya know what does mom know? He goes to school Monday - Thursday and works Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was feeling kinda bad for him last week he just looked exhausted.

Moving on to Marco... this kid just cracks me up. He is so full of love for everyone you can't help but love him. This is his favorite time of year. We decorated last weekend and he was in his glory. Nick is a director of Operations for an alarm company so this past week he installed an elite alarm system in our house fully equipped with cameras outside. Marco loves this because every year someone messes with our decorations. Nick has it set up so we can watch it on my TV in my bedroom. You can see like 4 screens. It really is sweet! Last night we got home and the decorations were messed with so when I get home from work we are gonna rewind it to see who was doing it. I can even look at it from work on my computer. I can see if they have people over after school when I am not home... I like it!

Sarah is a monster lately! She is so hormonal she is driving me nuts! Everything I say is not right or not exactly the way she thinks I should of said it. I guess this is what 16 is all about.

Colleen's daugther had her baby today at 2:38 this morning. He weighed 9 lbs. 6 ozs. We left yesterday morning at 6:30 a.m. to go to the hospital. She was induced and we waited and waited and waited. I forgot how long it can take! I had to work today so at like 1:00 a.m. I left to get some sleep and she had it right after that. I have to say I am kinda glad and disappointed at the same time. I guess she turned into a monster. It was hard watching her as it was it makes you feel so helpless. I decided that I never want to watch my daughter go thru that it would kill me. Anyway it was all good he is healthy and so is she!

Tonight is our 25th year class reunion... the official one. I need to go home and take a nap to be ready for it!

have a great weekend!
