Blogging during the day time is much better!

Ok, I love that my husband is home, but it sure does make it hard to keep up with my blogging!

Friday was a girls night out. Karen, Hilary, Ariell, her friend Aarika, and I had dinner and games at Ariell's house. It was nice to get out and just hang. We played curses and had a good time with it. I will have to get that game now! Way too fun. We had a yummy shredded pork burrito dinner thing, but I do not know the name or recipe! Ariell, I want it, please! It was so tasty and good! Thanks for letting us raid on your time and your house! :)

Saturday we wanted to go to Monster Jam were a lot of monster trucks do their crushing things, but they were SOLD OUT! Boo!! So we ended up doing nothing ALL DAY! It was very nice, but the day really did fly by for being not busy! Super weird.

Sunday we slept in a little and got up about 8:30... Ya, church starts at 9! Whoops.. so we got dressed and headed to church. We walked in during announcements, so we were not too late! It was good, we had great testimony's and good classes. Something one of the sisters said made me feel kinda bad and such. I accept and support ALL people no matter if they are gay, straight, black, white or whatever... there was a comment made about gay people, and religiousness. It made me feel conflicted and I suddenly felt like I wasn't following the gospel. It was more than that though too, but I can't explain it. I have a hard time with some things that the church teaches or the scriptures say, because it conflicts with who I am inside. I felt horrible and was reduced to tears for a second. I am still conflicted, but I will just go with what I have always thought.. I believe and feel that MOST things the Latter Day Saint religion has to offer is perfect for me, though SOME I do not agree with. It has always been that way, and this is just part of it. I will leave it as that.

The kids and I got home about 12:30 as Joseph stays to do the finance stuffs. That is his new calling, financial clerk. We take separate cars now, so it sucks, but oh well. He is usually home an hour or so after we get home, so it isn't too bad. Joseph and I played Warcraft a little bit, napped and watched movies. I guess I fell asleep early, around 9, and we went to bed around 10:30.

Our sprinklers came on yesterday (and were not suppose to, so housing is turning them off again) and they came on at 5 AM!!!!! Ya that is no good for me. They were hitting the kids' toy bin that is aluminum, and also the storm drain... Ya, LOUD NOISES!!!! Joseph went out there and moved the toy thing, but they stay on for about 35 minutes and I just could not sleep because of the drain! Finally at 6ish, I passed out again, and got up at 7. I was ready to take a nap, but my friend Hilary wanted to go shopping at Savers 99 cent day! I got 2 sweaters for myself, but did not really look around too much. I went to hang out with my peeps. After that I dropped Aaron off at school and headed to a meeting with Joseph the Cpt and his wife. It was for FRG and it went well. We covered a lot of things and I think we will do a good job. Found out we have about 66 soldiers and 23 wives, so it will be super easy! Not like being in HHC! Ha!! I like it!

Hilary texted and wanted to meet at wal-mart after, so I headed that way. We gabbed and walked around a little. Then hit up Sams next door. Good times, thanks for the talking! :) It is always nice to have adult interaction.

It was 2, so I headed to pick up Aaron, and the other two since it is so nasty outside. We are home and they are finally done with their homework. Hilary wanted to go take the kids swimming, but we could not today... SORRY! Maybe next time... MAYBE! lol.

Tonight I am going to attempt a family home evening.. not too sure on what I am going to do, but I'd like to get that started up again! The kids are finally old enough to pay attention and participate so it should be a good time. Maybe tonight will be a planning session as well, so we can know what we are doing and who is doing it before hand!

Now it is time for me to pick up a little, do some laundry and get things ready for tonight! Have a great afternoon!

An All Nighter.... I don't think so!

Wednesday was a busy day, and went by very fast. Joseph headed into work today after being off for four days. (plus being gone for the month of February) He text'd me, 230 emails to go through and sort, back to back meetings and anything else that pops up in between to do! He had an extremely busy day.

I did not go workout because I woke with a horrible headache and my mouth was still hurting. I took some aspirin, but I figured by the time it would kick in, it would be too late to head over to Hilary's. I text'd with her instead and laughed at the stuff on damnyouautocorrect.com and awkwardfamilyphotos.com. (WARNING: The auto correct site has naughty words, so if you check it out, be prepared!) We laughed a LOT over this stuff for a good while. She had to go take a shower so not to be stinky for the craft today and I had to get Aaron ready for school.

While I was dropping Aaron off at school, I do not know how, but my pinky toe hit the stair, and immediately it was in pain. I hobbled into the school and said good bye to Aaron, hobbled back to the car, and let out a tear. I think I broke it. It puffed up right away, and the bruise came slowly but it is all over my toe. I cannot touch it because it hurts. I limp when I walk a little itty bitty bit, but Joseph made me look like Egor from Young Frankenstein! LOL. I can walk a little more normal today, but I cannot put any pressure on it or I am done!

Anyway, I headed over to Karen's for craft day. Today I was making my name blocks and grabbed another FHE board since the one I did before sucked and needed to be redone! I painted the blocks, but did not feel like doing much else. Lunch was yummy yet again! I brought soda because I feel like I never contribute to the food! (which I don't so... there ya go!) It was bbq pork sammiches, baked beans and salad and chips. Really tasty stuff!

At 2 I left to pick up Aaron at school. First, at the craft I noticed Bridget sketching a planter box and figuring out dimensions and all that. I remembered seeing a planter box at a house over here that they tried to get in the trash but no one ever took it, so then they moved it back by their wall. Well, I told her I would pick it up for her, and when I went to get it, I chickened out and drove away! I will go there today and knock on the door and ask for it! I felt like I was stealing it! lol. So I picked Aaron up and we headed home. I wanted to finish my crafts before the kids came home and we had to get to church for activities.

Savannah and Justin rolled in about 3:45 and started on their homework. Justin has a very hard time focusing and sometimes it takes him 2 or 3 times the amount of time to finish because of this. It gets super annoying! He finished his work, so that was good, and all of the homework is done for the week.

Joseph came home around 6, and jumped in the shower right away. We were heading to the blue and gold banquet and Savannah had achievement days. The banquet was my first, and it went well. The kids seemed to have a really good time. There was games to play like stick pull, tug of war and sack race. It was a bit rowdy and loud! LOL. We left around 8:30 and when we got home Savannah had a little something to eat and the boys went to bed. I asked if Hilary could take me to the ER just to get the toe checked out.. She came around 1o, and we headed over. There were a TON of people in there, and the wait was going to be until 7am! 10pm to 7am?!!!! I do not think so! I asked what they thought, and a nurse walked by and told me to ice it and elevate it. Because it is a toe, there is not much that can be done. So, I thanked them and headed home. THANK YOU HILARY! YOU ARE A GREAT FRIEND AND I APPRECIATE YOU!!!!

As soon as I got home it was time for bed. Joseph has early mornings now and so he is sleepy at the same time I am now! hehe. We went to bed, and I elevated my foot. I fell right to sleep and did not move all night!

Now it is time for a nap. I am still feeling sleepy and I think an hour would be a good refreshing thing! I do not know what I am doing today, but I will be hanging out with Hilary today, so that will always make for a fun day! hehe

Recap!

Ok, well, I uh have not been very consistent this week! Whoopsies.

Saturday we took the kids to see Gnomeio and Juliet. It was cute. Kinda slow, but some of the jokes were pretty funny. Aaron didn't even fall asleep! He ususally does at the theater! The kids had their popcorn and drinks, and Joseph got a hot dog. I was not wanting anything because if I get their "food" I swell up for days! Joseph got me a diet coke, and I did not even notice until the movie was over! LOL. He said, "I got this for you".. but he never told me he got me a drink! hehe.

After that we played the wii... or Joseph played the wii while the kids and I watched him. He played Pirates. He loves that game. We used to have it on the computer, but then it stopped working for some reason and he was very happy to find it on the wii. We had chili for dinner and then watched more movies.

Sunday was church. I do not like the 9am time we have and look forward to the later time when we switch buildings later in the year. However, we will get like a 2pm time, which is so late! I wont mind because Iwill ALWAYS make it to church and on time! hehe. Classes were good. Relief Society was a little bit disruptive, as Hilary and I laughed and giggled at little things for the entire hour! -- Thanks for that Hilary! Instigater!!

Joseph had Monday and Tuesday off so on Monday I went to Hilary's to workout. It was ok, we did a carmen electra, but that woman likes to hurt me!! I had to stop because she was working her abs a bit more than I could at this point. One of the kids was getting sick with the poo-poo's and so we all just called it a day and left. I showered and after we got the kids to school we headed to the craft store so I could get some paper for craft wednesday! I think he liked that store too! There were some neato things in there that caught his attention. We did get into trouble when a sales lady caught us sword fighting with foam swords... hehe. After that we had chick-filet for lunch. I had a yummy chicken salad sammich and he got a delicious chicken burger. After that we headed to pick up the kids. On the Spur (freeway thing) I saw Hilary, so I texted her. She was fast, but we were in Joseph's car and caught up to her in just a few minutes... I am suprised Joseph put the peddle to the metal! Hehe, he did 85 in a 60! Whhhaaaaaattt????!!! hehe. When we got onto post, there was a car that was lost and one of the people in the car was sporting an Alliance hat! They followed us through housing. We would have stopped, but you know, Horde does not help Alliance... So we drove all over the place, and they followed... everywhere we went! We stopped at the school and they looked at us and drove off... weirdo people!

Monday was homework and such. I think we watched Joseph play Pirates again. We watched some TV and then headed to bed. Tuesday was busy. I got Joseph to work out with me to Just Dance 2! It was pretty funny. He beat my score a few times too! We did that for about an hour and then got showered and took Aaron to school. I had an orthodonist appointment at 11:30 so off we went to that! It was not fun! I was expecting to hear good news that they were ready to come off, but no.. there was still a gap.. so they put in a new wire with special things to close the gap and make sure no others open up.. ya I am STILL hurting with that! My mouth and head hurt, and I do not like eating although I get hungry! :( No fun. So after that we headed home and played an hour of warcraft. We picked up the kids and took Savannah ove to get her ID card. I was going to get one too, but we need his orders to do so, and so I will just wait.

I needed to go to the commissary for a couple things and so we stopped by there. I HATE going on paydays! I got a couple more things than I wanted, but it was ok. I grabbed some pizza too because by then I knew I did not feel like cooking anything. We got home, kids did homework and we played warcraft some more. In the evening we watched some military channel and I dozed off around 9! I am not sure when we actually went to bed, but I woke up feeling a bit more rested than I had in a few days!

Now it is time for me to take Aaron to school. I hope to be all caught up tonight, but who knows!
Have a great day!

Movie night!

Hello!

I am not writing tonight, I think I will watch a movie with my most favorite man in the world! Have a great night!!

Nair-1 Teri-0

OOOOOoooooooooo!!! Day three! Whaaaaaaaaaat??!! Hehe!

I am writing very early because I have a special delivery coming in later, and won't be able to write.

This morning I was woken up at about 6:30. I did not sleep well anyway, and I was sort of awake anyway. I got a text from Hilary, no workout at her house today because she has bad allergy/sinus crud going on. I hope you feel better soon! Don't be too hard on yourself for taking a day off... You deserve rest!

So, I rolled out of bed and threw my hair up in a ponytail, and put on some clothes. I had a few errands I needed to do so after I dropped off Savannah and Justin at school, I headed to my first stop, Wal-Mart. I needed to get a new trash can, and hoped they had water so I could fill my 5 gallon jug thing. No water, but I got 2 trash cans, 1 for, well, trash, and 1 for recycle stuff. I am getting tired of it piling on my counter!

After Wal-Mart it was off to the commissary to grocery shop. I was in and out in about an hour and got pretty much everything on my list. I totally forgot to debit out some cash for the bagger, and so I reached into my tithing, hoping there was a $5 in there.. no there was not, only $20's. I felt horrible about that, so I gave him a $20, but he gave me $15 in change back! Whew! So when I got home I grabbed $5 from a piggy bank and that way I still have 100% of my tithing! I have held onto it all month, I do not know why! But hooray for me for not spending it.

Aaron was going to stay home with me today because of his fever/barfing yesterday but he had no fever all day and he was acting normal, so I took him to school anyway. He is still feeling good and fever free, so that is good!

While the kids were at school I started a cleaning binge on the house. I got dishes, laundry, floors, counters, dusting, and bedding done! I know, I am awesome! At 1, I had to jump in the shower and get ready to pick up the kids. I had shaving and plucking to do, and that takes time! I totally tried to save time by using Nair on my legs, and ya, I totally burned them all up! Nair is now in the trash and will never be used by me again! This was at 1pm and it is after 6 and I am still hurting! Oh well, lesson learned, Nair-1 Teri-0...

I picked up the kids but I had only one eyebrow done, so I totally did the other one in the car waiting for them! It was awkward and weird, but oh well, I needed to get it done! We got home and I continued my cleaning since I wasn't quite done before my shower. The kids did their homework and have been glued to the tv for the past hour.

It is now dinner time and I have no idea what I wanna do! I am thinking since I cleaned everything, I want it to stay clean for at least a night, so I may just go grab something. My special delivery will be here about 9pm tonight, and so that gives me 3 more hours to get ready. I still need to put on my face (haha that made me laugh) and get pretty! Ok, well I got to feed the kids, and sitting down is making me sleepy! I have to keep moving!

No pictures were taken today.. :(

It's Day 2 Sucka's!!!!

I can't figure out th picture thing just yet, so Uh, here they are from today, in the beginning of my post.. This is harder than I though!!!

What is this????? Two posts IN A ROW!!! Whaaaaaaat???!!

Today was good. I woke up at 6:50, 10 minutes before my alarm went off. I like getting up before my alarm, somehow I feel more rested.. I turned the alarm off, laid in bed for about 5 minutes, and got up. Threw on some workout clothes and headed out to wake up the kids. They were already up, so I got them breakfast and had them getting ready for the day. Aaron has been battling a fever for the past 2 days, and I thought it was nothing, but then tonight he barfed.. it could have been from eating doughnuts at church while running around with other kids, but I do not know. His fever is back so looks like tomorrow is going to be a home day for the both of us.. no playing with friends. *sad face*

So, once everyone was ready we headed out. I used Joseph's car today because mine was still in the shop being fixed up from my previous fight with the trash can. I dropped them off and headed to Hilary's. We did Carmen Electra's strip tease video thing today. It was so funny.. I cannot take that girl seriously. It was an ok workout, I did perspire a bit. I think I worked my mid section too much because when I got home to shower I was way more swollen than I have seen myself, so uh, maybe I should not strip anymore?! At least for now!

So I got ready, and took Aaron to school. Hilary was coming to pick me up because Wednesday's are craft days with the ladies. While she was on her way, the dealership called and said my car was ready, so we hit up the px first so Hilary could cash a check and then she dropped me off to pick up my car. I tried to see if the repairs and such were free, but they laughed at my request and charged me the normal fee's. Bummer, because I did not want to pay it! hehe.

I jumped into my car, which had a funny "man" smell, and drove off. I noticed right away a difference in the drive. I know my car thanks me for taking care of it! I was suppose to stop and get a refill for my cup, but I totally forgot, and headed to Karen's for the craft. I did not have a craft today, so I just watched others do theirs. Everyone is so crafty and their stuff comes out looking so good! Mine comes out and looks like my 5 year old did it!

I stayed there for about an hour and a half, and then it was time to pick up the kids. I was picking up Justin and Savannah today too because Savannah had a field trip to a symphony and was dressed up, so I thought it would be polite of me to not let her walk home. I'm such a nice mom! When we got home we sort of just hung out. Joseph and I were texting back and forth (finally, after not hearing from him for 1 week!) and we didn't do too much. At 6:30 it was time to head over to church. We were planning the blue and gold banquet thing for scouts, it was my first time, and it was not too bad. Although, just after it started one of the counselors in the bishopric called me into a room for a "meeting". I am getting a calling, but I will tell you on Sunday or whenever they do call me! Until then, just wait! It has been about a year and a half-ish since I had one. I liked not having one, but I can feel it is time to get back into something.

After that, I asked Danielle what I was doing for the banquet, and signed up for rope (tug of war), brownies and condiments. Interesting choices, but that was what was left over. They brought doughnuts to the meeting tonight, and the kids dove into them quick! After they had that, we headed home.

Joseph will be home tomorrow, so that means a bit of preparation is in order. No more cereal for dinners, I will have to get "real" food to cook! I will take that though over him being gone! Rather have him home!

Well, that brings us up-to-date AGAIN! I am on a roll! *insert happy dance here* Have a good night/day.

A Promise is a Promise

On facebook today I got called out by my Sister-in-law that I need to blog more, with pictures! So, I said I would, and a promise is a promise.

I am way behind on writing, and there is no use in trying to catch up, so I will just start with today! I will try and write nightly, and stay with it, so that I keep my family and friends up-to-date and they won't have to peek on my friends blog to check up on me! (but you can certainly still peek in on my friends!)

I started out the day with my alarm at 6. See, I wanted to get up and walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes and then get the kids up for the day... Ya, that did NOT happen! I turned off my alarm, reset it for 7, and went back to sleep. I got up, put my workout clothes on and started to get the kids up. Aaron was already up because he had a bad dream that Justin cut his throat. He even told me, "see, my throat is ok!". Poor kid, nightmares are no fun! I got the other 2 up, and got cereal out, and made their lunches. Usually we are done getting ready by 7:30, which gives them about 20-25 minutes to play DS or watch cartoons. I will check my e-mails, and facebook at this time as well.

We were out the door at 7:50 and I dropped off the older two at school. Aaron and I headed to Hilary's house for workout time! Today was Zumba on the wii. Today we had Karen, Ariell, Hilary, Laurie, Mikayla (sp?) and myself. It took a little while to get going because we wanted to work out to the lady zumba person and not the guy, but Hilary had a tough time figuring it out, so we went ahead and followed the dude. I wasn't too into it today.. after 4 days off (Friday-Monday) it was hard to get into it. I did a severely modified version! At least I did something!

OH! Okay, so I did forget one little thing... when we were on our way to Hilary's, I had an oops. I hit a trash can that was way too close to the street. It was a plastic green one, but it totally busted my passenger side mirror! Hmph! It was either the trash can or a cement truck, so I took a chance! $450 later.... that's right folks, four hundred and fifty dollars!! It's ok, it is the second time in 1 year that I have replaced it, and so I was prepared this time on how much it was going to be! I am just glad it was not a heated mirror or one with the blinker in it! Would have totally jacked up the price! Well, I took it in and I also got a LOT more maintained with it, so it will be a pretty penny.. Boo!!!

So, after my workout I stuck around for Hilary to show me some crazy dirty YouTube stuff. Have you seen the shake weight? It is so dirty and many people have offered their interpretation on the thing, and it was freakin hilarious! Thanks for that! When we got home, I had about an hour before Aaron had to be in school, so I showered and got ready for the day. I dropped him off and headed to the Chevy dealership. It was going to be a long wait because 1-- I was having a lot done to it, and 2-- there were many, many cars in front of me. So, I left the car there, and walked across the street to a shopping center. Hilary said she could come pick me up and take me home after her lunch with her husband. I walked the mall thing, had a salad and window shopped. Hilary showed up about an hour later and she shopped while I tagged along. She brought me to pick up Aaron and then took us home. THANKS HILARY!!!!!!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!

When we got home, I watered our plants in the backyard.. we are trying to grow 4 flower pots full of different types of flowers and 2 pots of blackberry's and raspberry's. Savannah and Justin got home rather fast today. They got their homework done and decided to play their DS's. Hilary was on her way to pick me up to get the car when the dealership called and said it would not be ready until tomorrow. So Thanks again Hilary! :D What would I do without you!?!

I ordered pizza for the kids and I tonight, but the kids were NOT into it, and so now I have a huge pizza that is going to the trash! What a waste! Aaron has a fever tonight and hopefully it will be gone tomorrow, but it is spiking at 101. If it is still around tomorrow I may not be able to workout or head to the craft day with the ladies. He had a fever last night, but it was gone this morning. Crossing fingers. Savannah is having a field trip to a youth symphony tomorrow and she is extremely excited.

Well, that catches up for today. Are you happy now Melissa? :D So, if I write on my blog, does that mean you should write on yours? Hmmmmm?????

Here are pictures from today, since she also said I do not post pictures enough! These are all for you! Today's picture of myself, and of the damage on the mirror!

There has GOT to be a better way to upload pictures!!! Wow that took forever!
