Like I do everyday I stopped at home yesterday to pick Sarah up and drop her off at the school for cheer. I pulled out of the parking lot and noticed the Channel 4 News truck there. I was wondering why they were there but didn't put much thought into it. I went home hung out and woke up this morning to go to work. I was watching the news and they had a thing on there about a 16 year old girl missing in Mexico. She went to Mexico with her grandma and on Thursday she was seen on the beach and that was the last time she was seen. She has been missing since. They showed the mom on the news this morning crying and it broke my heart. I felt so sad. I just now found out that she goes to school with the twins. Now I know why the news truck was at the school. I feel bad for her family and her. If you could just say a prayer for her to come back home to her family. It is just horrible! I am sure it will make national news as these things do.
I got transferred this week to a new store. I start there on Monday which the whole week will be a busy one I am sure getting settled in and getting used to working with new people. I am excited tho cuz it will be a new challenge for me. We are consolidating stores so the one I was at they are going to be closing in a few months. I am happy to still have a job!
Nick's birthday was this week we celebrated by going to our favorite little hole in the wall bar and having some burgers and beers! He doesn't like his birthday to be a big deal so we celebrate his way LOL. Me on the other hand, I love my birthday to be acknowledged!
Sarah's cheer team has been doing good in their competitions. So far, they have got 2--1st places, a 2nd place and 1--3rd place. Marco is busy doing his thing at school and being Marco which pretty much means being hyper and driving me crazy LOL. Dom is working and going to school. He is trying to make this transition into being an adult and I gotta say I am pretty proud of him. They all had colds for the last few weeks and I ended up getting it Thursday. I told them they don't have to share everything with me. They can keep that to themselves LOL.
It is freezing cold here in Michigan!! It was like 2 here this morning and I hate when it is this cold! It sucks because it seems like no matter what you wear you never get warm until you are in bed! So looking forward to Spring!!!
I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Happy New Yearone
It has been a long time since I posted anything here. Life is busy. Sarah's cheer competition has started and that takes up quite a bit of time. It seems we go from one thing to another in this house.
The holidays were great! We cut back alot this year with the gifts which was nice. It was less stressful as far as shopping is concerned. We went to my SIL's for Christmas Eve and it was just the adults because my kids were at their dad's house and my SIL and nephew were in FLorida. We had a wonderful dinner with cocktails. It was a very nice evening. My SIL lives in Grosse Pointe. I am not sure if you have heard of that but it is one of the richest areas in the United States. It was on the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous before. Anyway, she lives alone in this huge house. The houses in Grosse Pointe (well there are like 5 different Grosse Pointes she lives in the Farms) are very old but very unique. They are not cookie cutter houses. I love it there. The Grosse Pointes also each have their own park. The cities are right along the lake so most of the parks are on the lake. Very nice community. Nick grew up in Grosse Pointe Park and hopefully one day we will move there after the kids graduate. I love the parks in the summer time. Christmas day we had at my house. My mom, uncles, aunts and nieces came. I made a great dinner and it was nice to see everyone and enjoy everyones company. Nick and I had the week before Christmas off together it was nice but by the end of the week I was ready to go back to work. New Years eve we went to a party it was fun! I am not a big new years fan just because I get nervous about driving home with all the drunks on the road so it kinda dampers my night.
I have this week off of work for Furlough. Our company made it mandatory for each employee to take 2 weeks off for furlough. My next week off is the 2nd week in February. I wish the weeks were in the summer I would have much more to do I mean it is a whopping 18 degrees out today. WTH are you gonna do in that weather. I guess I will find something around here to do today. Although I am still in my jammies right now LOL. Nick asked for a date night tonight which pretty much means sex LOL. You would think it would mean out to dinner or something like that. Nope it means sex LOL. I am sitting in my great room now and my feet are literally freezing.
Yesterday I spent the day with Colleen going to her drs appts with her. She was freaked out because her sister just got diagnosed with breast cancer and these were her female appts. I went with her then we went to lunch and picked up the baby. We took the baby to see my mom for the first time and she was so excited. I ended up taking him home for most of the day and took him home about 9:00. Rebecca said he was fussy and she was tired so I kept him for awhile. I guess you forget how much work they are til you have one around again. I can't believe how freaking heavy the car seat thing is. The thought that I used to carry 2 of those around just amazes me. I could never do that now it would kill my back. I enjoyed him alot he is so cute! I remember being a first time mom and nobody being able to tell me anything. Why is that? I mean you think first time moms would take advice from another mom but no they don't lol. I was trying to tell her a few things and I stopped because I could see she was getting annoyed and I totally understand. The baby was fine with me all day but she said the minute I dropped him off he was fussy all night. I was trying to tell her that babies can sense your frustration. Oh well, she didn't believe me and I guess I would not have either. It is just a funny concept to me.
I sure hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and looking forward to spring soon :0) Have a great day!
