Happy Sunday All

I'm about to head off in a bit. But I just wanted to say that we saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall tonight and it was hilarious!!! Mila Kunis (spl?) is a baby Angelina Jolie..lol. Love them both. But ya..I recommend that movie (although it does have a lot of sex and male nudity, lol)


Okay...Well I'm freezing in here right now. So I'm gonna go snuggle underneath the covers and watch the tele. It hailed all freakin day!! Wtf is up w/that?? I've never seen so much hail in my life. I swear..its like The Day After Tomorrow up in here, lol.

well, we had an eventful Saturday.

we were going to go up north to see my parents, but then we checked the bank account, and saw that maybe we should wait a couple weeks and then go up there.

we were also asked if we weren't doing anything to come over to my BIL and SIL's house for cake and ice cream for my SIL's birthday. Logan was acting up since he hadn't had a nap, so we decided to not go over there.

we instead spent the whole day together as a family doing some fun things! we took the kids to the mall to walk around. we also got my ring cleaned and inspected while we were there. we also looked at some outdoor chairs. Tommy wants to get some for our porch.

we left the mall and took the kids to this carnival that was not that far from the mall. Brandon walked around the carnival while I pushed Logan and Marissa. We left there and then went to Girbraltor to walk around there and to get something to eat. After we left there, we decided to go for a ride since it was still too nice to go home. Marissa and Logan fell asleep early on into the ride, by the time we headed to WalMart, all three of the kids were asleep! Got home, and put the kids to bed and then we just sat and relaxed.

Now, we are just spending time at home today! Tommy did the laundry this morning, so I will more then likely fold that tomorrow while Brandon is in school. Now, he is cleaning the last two stair cases, and then he is going to come home and make some dinner! the kids are excited about the hockey game coming on in about ten minutes! they have all had their baths, so it will be an easy time getting to into their beds tonight!

nothing really new for this coming week.....we are planning on going to a surprise birthday gathering for our oldest nephew Monday night. Then Wednesday is B's birthday and hearing test. Thursday is M's birthday and B doesn't have school that day!

When we were at Girbraltor yesterday, we decided to go and look at the Antique show. We walked past this one booth and the lady started talking to us. She asked if Marissa and Logan were twins because they look so much alike. Then she asked how old they were, and so I told her. She looked at B and M and said "well, happy birthday! let me see if I have anything for you!" she went to the one end of her table and gave B this Operation brain surgery came. Then she didn't want Logan to feel left out so she asked him if he likes trains, and I said he loves trains. So, the lady then asked us if B and L share a room, and we told her that they did. So, she gave L this Steam Locomotive clock. Every hour on the hour, a new steam engine sound goes off and it also has motion detection on it, so at night when the room is dark it won't keep going off. Then she felt bed because she went to give L a high five and M thought she was going to hit her, so she started to cry. The lady felt bad for making her cry, so she gave her this stuffed fish, which L took over. So, the lady gave M a stuffed pig which she wouldn't let go for anything!

Sassy~ Thanks for posting that little article! I need to write it down and put it on my fridge!

Francie~ I don't know exactly what sparked the argument in the first place. But at one point, she told him that she didn't appreciate her head getting bashed into the wall, getting choked or forced to do things that she didn't want to do. It all stems from him being drunk! They were loud last night but they weren't fighting. I fell asleep on the couch and Tommy woke me up at 4am to go to bed. He told me that they were loud next door until about an hour before that when he thinks that one of the other neighbors had gone to the door. Because he said that he heard the door close and then it was all quiet. Either way, they have about two weeks or so left anyways, the lady that the lease is in, hasn't paid her rent yet! so they are taking her to court on the 29th. Then from there they will start the eviction process and by the second week in May, we will more then likely have an empty unit next door!

I just saw on Yahoo the other day that they have a Wii Fit coming out on May 19th. It is for exercising purposes and such, now I really want to get a Wii so I can get that one!!!

Katy~ Let me see if I can find a picture of the T Ball set that Logan got. I showed them how to use it first, and I almost hit the apartment building. Then I went to hit it again, and hit Tommy's pop! The only thing that stinks about it, is that me being 5'4" I couldn't get a good clear shot unless I was probably sitting on my knees!

here is a picture of the one that Logan got for Christmas:

Sue~ We have this arched area in front of our building that had some shrubs in it, but since we pulled out the dead ones, I want to fill the space in with some rose bushes. I have to go and check out how much space I have to fill in, so I can figure out exactly how many of what I need to buy. Which Tommy told me that it will probably we a couple of weeks before we can buy them, which I told him was fine, since I wouldn't have time to do anything this week!

SusieQ~ I good on reading labels more then I would like to admit! Which I need to get better at doing!!

Cristina~ We ended up not going up there this weekend, but we are planning on going up there in a couple of weeks!

Happy Sunday!

Francie - If it has a lot of sex and male nudity I can't watch it. *snicker* Hope you are warm under those blankets, you wouldn't know it was Spring with this freezing weather!!

Ok, so no one has posted besides Francie I get to ramble and torture you all. That will be fun. Everything I write is full of facts and is meaningful.

I talked to McD last night for a bit. He seemed ok with me not coming over and offered to come to my place. Egads, he has never been to my dwelling, and it was a mess and besides that defeats the whole concept of ME time. So, he had a PLAN B and was going to go to his best friend couples house for dinner. Fine.

I cooked my tenderloin and steamed my veggies while sipping my first glass of wine. Ate dinner and got into a nice hot bath.....while still sipping wine. I feel soooo happy and woozy now and the hot water doesn't help because it makes me more woozy.

So, I get out after a bit and get into my pj's and get another glass of wine and crawl in bed. I read a chapter or so of my Little Earthquake book and like a good little tipsy girl fall asleep. It must have been at least 7pm. lol
I woke up at midnight wide awake and Rach was calling saying she was at her fathers and was spending the night. WhatEVER. lol

So, I finished the book in about an hour and went back to sleep by 2am.
Gab came home at 7am this morning and I was thrilled to see her! She was so happy to be home. I didn't even see her dad because I hide behind the door and said "hmmmm, ya...bye".

Crawled back in bed w/ Gab until 8:30 and finally she had enough of that and demanded we get up!

I made her eggs and she watched Enchanted.

I cleaned R's room and hung up all her clothes that have been in bins since she moved in w/ me last Oct. OMG....she does have clothes, the next time she whines she doesn't I am going to laugh in her face. I haven't bought new clothes in years.

So, now I am picking up another book on hold "Goodnight Nobody" by Jennifer Weiner. Placed Tending Roses on hold, a friend is reading that so thought I would read it too.

What else?? Oh, I have to get a job!! I do. I have like 6 weeks of unemployment left so I better get my butt in gear and take whatever. I guess finding a rich man ain't going to happen....PLAN B for me! lol

jk


Full of coffee! Better go do something!!!

Hello to Sue, Jules, Sassy, Cristina, Katy, Mindee and Michelle!!!

omg - Mindee!! You posted while I was writing, sorry!! Catch up w/ you in a bit!!

just popping in before heading to bed.

Logan has been having a rough night for some reason. He went to bed at about 8pm without any problems. When I went in to lay Brandon down, I saw that Logan was moving around, so I grabbed his cup and walked out. A few minutes later, Logan was screaming in his bed. I walked in there (after handing Marissa over to Tommy because she had been screaming in her bed) and he was sitting straight up in his bed. I picked him up and rubbed his back telling him that every thing was okay, and then laid him back down. I came out and pulled out Marissa's stroller and took her for a walk. After our walk, I came back inside with her and Tommy told me to shhhhh. I said "I know, she fell asleep on the ride back home." He then told me that Logan had woken up screaming again in his bed, and Tommy got him settled back in and then left the door open and he hasn't made any noise since I got back from the walk.

eta: wouldn't you know it, now one of them is barking like a seal, and it sounds like Brandon. So, it looks like a breathing treatment in the morning to nip it in the bud!

Susan~It wasnt even hot male nudity, lol. It was more funny than anything. Goodnight Nobody is a pretty good book too. I'm reading Certain Girls (which is part 2 to Good In Bed) and its very good so far.

Mindee~OMG!! I cant believe all that. The cops should be called on that guy!!!!! See, if they lived above my neighbors, they'd call the cops in a heartbeat. Crazy people. The Wii fitness is gonna be sooooo expensive I bet. I saw it online for 89 bucks!! The chick at GameStop said it was gonna be hard to get just like the Wii. I suggest that you buy the Wii Sports (some games that come with the Wii)..because theres already some fitness stuff already on it. I havent tried it out yet, but its there. OR go to a GameStop and put down $10 to reserve the Wii Fitness. That way you know you'll be guaranteed to get one.

Sassy~I dont wanna do a lot of things either, lol. I'm glad that "friend" is history. You're seriously too good for someone like that....Fonzo's fam has a grapefruit tree in their backyard and when he'd do the outside chores, he'd always break and eat the grapefruit so now he's totally sick of it, lol. But thanks chica for mentioning strawberries, because now I want some, lol. I'd been craving blueberries for the longest time, lol.



Well today has been totally awful. My bones & muscles hurt. Fonzo thinks it could be from the weird weather we've been having. (It snowed for awhile this afternoon, but nothing stuck.) I just took my temp and its 101.2. No wonder why I slept all day long.


Fonzo's leave ends on Wed, which blows. I dont want him to go back to work, lol. And it sucks even more because he'll be leaving sometime soon. I feel myself turning into that needy person again, lol. Is it so wrong for wanting to have him home?? (at least I'm not like certain navy wives who cant wait for their hubby's to leave) But ya..we're planning for me to go to San Diego to visit him. So I'm looking forward to buying new clothes and going to see him, lol. We're hoping that he'll have a least 2 days off so we can rent a car and go to Az for a day. Phx is about 6 hours away from SD. But who knows if that will actually happen.


Anyways..I'm gonna go back to bed. Thank God for cable in the bedroom. I dont wanna miss Monk or Psych tonight.

popping back in since I just got done writing out that list that Sassy posted! (man, it sucks not knowing where the disk for our printer is!)

Francie~ I did call the cops when they were still arguing at 2:22am! The cop showed up and every thing got quiet, and then I went to bed when I saw him leave. I had my ear somewhat pressed against to hear if they were arresting him or not, when the cop told them just to keep it down and then left I gave up! Even after I told the officer at dispatch that I heard her say the part about getting her head bashed into the wall, getting choked and getting forced to do stuff that she didn't want to do. I will be extremely pissed if they pull their crap this coming Saturday during Brandon and Marissa's party! They will not like me once I get done dealing with them!

Mindee~OMG!! The cops just left?!?! Wtf!! Thats insane!! Thats some serious stuff being said right there. Stupid. I hope they dont pull that stuff during the CHILDREN'S party!!!

Yay, it's me again!! Happy Monday!!

Mindee- You know ,do your neighbors have kids? If they do I would just report it to child services. Maybe the police left because there were no visable marks on the woman and she refused to admit what was going on. With children there at least child services will inquire further. Just a thought. Living in a family unit as a property manager I had to respond to a lot of fights. The most insane one ((I guess it wasn't a fight)) was this little 4 year old roaming the halls after midnight. The lady across the hall was suppose to be babysitting but the little girl wouldn't go to sleep in the babysitters apt. so the lady left her in her own apt w/ the tv on. Ding bat......so the little girl escapes and wanders around for any creep to grab. Police come and finally the babysitter comes out into the hallway all sleepy and takes the girl into her apt.


Sassy - Thank you!! You wanna hear my phone message?? " Hi this is Susan and you have reached ***-**** I am not available to take your call at this time but please leave a message at the sound of the tone and I will call you back as soon as possible. Thanks!"
I mean what does muther think I am going to leave out?? Her message has her cats names included.....it is like wtheck?? At least I don't talk about my kitty and certainly don't whine about it to her. lol
I have been popping 2 midol at a time the last week. Not for a headache but for my backache. I hope you are feeling better now!
I love doing laundry at the laundromat! You have all these machines and you can shove all your clothes in at once and be done w/ it. I feel empowered. haha

Francie - How can male nudity not be hot?? Am I being a pain yet?? lol Is he just like laying there asleep drooling, snoring , farting and burping?? Because he would have to be for me not to get turned on. lol
He can be awake and doing that and I would get excited. lol - jk! I have standards, *snicker*. San Diego will be a fun trip! You have that to look forward too, lucky you. I was thinking of running away to Hawaii w/ my tax money. Have to take Gab too , course I would come home broke but it would be fun. Either that or a trip to Utah, tough call , huh?? lol

Cristina - Ok, where ARE you??


Gab and I had a nice afternoon yesterday. We went swimmg. I watched and read and she swam. Spent most of her time at the rope swinging out into the 9ft water. It scared me at first but she is a proven mermaid. After that we tossed in laundry and ate dinner at the ex husbands. Since he refuses to hand over child support I eat there.lol We had a ham dinner that was yummy.
Took Rach downtown to catch the bus and the police had several blockes ropped off. Gab was trying to tell us it was a bank robbery, dramatic child. How would she know what is going on?? Turned out to be some man threatening to jump from the Marriot.
So, after that excitement we did the only thing we could do and went to Taco Bell and got some taco's , dropped by the laundromat to pick up the clothes and went home.
Gab's father called and Gab was munching away on her taco and telling him about the bank robbery. And of course he is all confused w/ her rantings and I didn't bother explaining. If I liked him I might have. lol

After I got her to sleep I read for a bit. My friend from Hawaii called and we chatted for 2 hours, geepers. He is an extrovert and talks, it wasn't me. I am socially ******ed and can't chatter that much. I can write though!!

k- better go pick up the Gabster and spend the afternoon w/ her.

Hi to Jules, Sue, and Katy!!! Hope you guys are having a great Monday!!

Hiya Chickies, and Happy Monday to All!

SUSAN...I'm here! Ha! I did finish the bags, lol...finally! Got started on the candles and already this is proving to be a thorn in my side, ugh! The people who made the ribbon did not even the sides with the writing...because the names are longer than the date it is hard to get a decent bow with them showing, and one side of course is longer, the name side, lol. Oh well...love Gaby's bank robbery story, lol. I had forgotten that Rach had moved in with you. Hey, sounds like a deal to me...who can pass up free dinner at the ex's? Wish I had someone to cook for me!

SASSY...that's good you got rid of the friend. If they do it once you can bet they will do it again and no one needs the drama, or being treated badly. Friends are supposed to watch your back, not stab you in the back.

FRANCIE...hope you are not coming down with something. At least you get to go visit Fonzo in SD...beautiful place for sure! I so miss the ocean!

MINDEE...hoping B is okay, and Logan too! Sounds like you guys had a really nice family day Saturday...I think those are the best kind! That's is terrible about the neighbors. Maybe when they were arguing she brought up something that happened in the past and not that night. Who knows but I hate to hear about that sort of abuse, it's terrible.

HIYA JULES, KATY & SUE

Man, a busy day today. I overslept and didn't get up until 7:30'ish...bad momma. I wanted to get a jump start on the exercise and do a few things around the house. Did get in a 40 minute dvd then headed out to mow the front yard before leaving for errands. Came back and mowed the back so that is my exercise for the day. Only mowing doesn't feel like exercise to me and I feel the need to do more. I won't though...I'm at a 130 minutes and that is good! Now just have to get some laundry done, ugh! I agree with you Susan...going to the laundromat is a pain but I agree that at least you get it all done at one time...the best, and only way to do it! Anywho...

Have a good day!

popping in here while I have a second to do so!

Francie~ I agree! They should have taken him off to jail. But I think they used the "it only happens when he drinks" excuse as his get out of jail free card. I am not sure if they abuse actually happened that night or not, all I know is that there was some thudding that happened that night, and I wasn't about to go over and ask them what was being thrown around.

Trust me, if they pull their garbage this coming Saturday, I will NOT hold anything back! I will tell them how it is and how nice and quiet it was before they moved in a started all their pull crap. Although, I am not sure when the next hockey games are yet, but it only seems to be on the nights that they are enjoying the games that the alcohol flows and all **** breaks loose!

SusieQ~ The neighbors that were arguing that don't even have proof that they live there (as in being on the lease) don't have kids. BUT the lady that has the lease, does in fact have three daughters. I don't believe that they were there on either occasion with the arguing.

Cristina~ Today, so far, all kids are doing well. B had some coughing while he was napping but it didn't last long. I don't know when it happened, all I know is what I heard, so it was possibly something that happened in the past. Either way she must have decided to throw it in his face.

gotta run for now.........I am in charge of making the rice while Tommy is BBQ hamburgers!

just popping in here before heading off to bed.

well, as the phrase goes "when it rains, it pours" the person never thought that it would be all over my bathroom floor! One of the daughters of our neighbor upstairs pulled the stem (I think that is what Tommy said it was called) out of the middle knob that you use to turn the water on, so they couldn't get the water to stop until her husband got home to shut the water off! So, because of that, water started to drip through our ceiling!

the maintenance guy came out and checked everything. he actually wasn't going to come out until he found out that it was dripping through our ceiling. when he showed up he told Tommy to go in a poke a couple of wholes into the ceiling to let the water drip. (the ceiling was getting soft) he came into our apartment after checking out upstairs, and looked a the ceiling. He said that he would be back in the morning, and told me what he wanted for breakfast. I said "well, we don't have any bacon, and I only make scrambled eggs so you are out of luck!"

oh I wanted to add on here, that I talked to Anna and she is coming to the kids' birthday party on Saturday!
