Happy Birthday To Me

Well today is my day.  My 39th birthday.  I can't believe that next year I will be 40!  Where did the years go?

Hubz and I had a wonderful time on our date.  We went into Philly to my favorite restaurant Royal Villa and it was awesome.  We pigged out.  Then we went to Starbucks for some coffee, he had a plain coffee flavored coffee and I had a white chocolate mocha...YUM, walked around Five Below for a bit then off to see Baby Mama.  What a cute movie.  I loved it.

It was a great time.  He is fun to be with. 

Birthday weekend has been great so far!

Loooong Day

I swear this has been the longest day in the history of man.  I am exhausted.

I was busy at work, which was good, but this day just dragged on and on and on.

I guess it's because I am looking so forward to the weekend!  It's birthday weekend, and Hubz is taking me out to dinner at our favorite restaurant and then to the movies.  The kids are having a sleepover, so it will just be Hubz and me til Sunday.  I.  Can't.  Wait.

I have decided to give up the Tiffany necklace so we can buy a new umbrella and a new pool for the kids.  I will be getting sleepwear instead, and that is fine with me.  I am easy to please.  Maybe I can get the necklace for Christmas.  We shall see.

Crazy Weather

We had some insane storms around our way yesterday.  High winds, icky rain, really cold.  Definitely not May weather.  I am so thankful that I haven't planted any flowers yet.

Hubz peeks out the back window last night and told me that our outdoor umbrella is toast.  I took a look and sure enough the whole top broke off and the pole was bent over and laying on the table.  Ugh.  Like I really feel like spending $100.00 for a new umbrella.  That stinks.

There goes my necklace :(

It's Been A Few Days

Sorry it's been a few days since I have posted.  I just suck don't I?

I went to the funeral and it was very nice.  I was so nervous as I walked in.  I just didn't want to cry, didn't know what to do or say, just felt like an ass.  I am so thankful that my co-worker drove me there, because there is no way I could have done it alone.  She told me in the car that she knows that it was my nerves and that is why I got sick on Monday and had to go home.  She is so cool.  She knows me so well.

I got an email from Ben's teacher on Wednesday that he has been being a bit naughty at school lately.  He is watching the two naughty boys in the class and mimicking them.  He doesn't want to do his work and complains.  He doesn't want to be partnered with anybody to do the work.  When she tries to correct him he starts balling and disrupts the classroom.  So of course since I was home after the funeral on Wednesday, I went to pick them up from school, and sure enough the teacher comes out with Ben.  She told me that Ben yelled at her when she told him she sent me the email.  I told Ben to tell her that he was sorry.  He told ME that he was sorry and I told him to turn around and tell her.  He starts balling.  Loud balling.  Right in the middle of the school yard.  Ugh.  So he cried the whole way home.  Hubz and I had a talk with him that night trying to find out what is going on, and since he doesn't say much it was kind of hard.  He said he doesn't like school and doesn't want to go anymore.  We told him that he has to go and better figure out a way to like it.  Honestly we think he has the spring fever, BUT we told him he better shape up and be good in school or we are going to take away his computer.  He didn't like that one bit.  He has been good ever since.  So strange.

Yesterday was my day off, and I did nothing.  I tried to sleep on the couch but of course Sammy had to bark all the time.  He can be such a pain sometimes.  So no sleep for me, just resting.  But that's okay.  Whatever.

Poor Hubz, I have made him work hard this week trying to get pregnant LOL!  He has done a good job!  So we shall see.  I read on the internet that there is only a 20% chance each month of getting pregnant.  Those are pretty low odds.  That just makes me crazy, when others can get pregnant in a heartbeat, no problem.  All of the accidents, etc.  The kids still don't know what we are up to, and I am going to keep it that way until I actually have some news to tell them.  That way I can dodge all of the questions for now.

Today Maddy and I are going to meet my Mom at the mall to get her a Mother's Day present.  Hubz is also giving me some money to go to Yankee Candle and get a present for myself from the kids.  And we are going to get Maddy some shorts too, because last year's are just too darn short.  Of course the first thing she says to me is that she isn't going to try the shorts on.  OH YES SHE IS, because I am just not sure what size she wears these days.  Hopefully we will do well in that department.

I just want to wish you all a happy and wonderful Mother's Day.  Enjoy it!

No Title

My boss's mom died over the weekend.  So sad.  So I have a funeral to go to tomorrow.  The news made me physically ill, and I had to go home from work.  I feel better now.  I am not good with this kind of thing.

Today at work the student's have a competition.  I was told this morning that I have to be a judge.  Ugh.  I just wanted to take pictures.

The kids are excited that they can wear shorts to school now since the weather is so nice.  They look so cute, and I am glad the shorts they wore in the beginning of the year still fit.

It's fertile week.  Hubz will be getting busy.

We had a nice weekend.  We took Ben to a birthday party and he and Maddy had a great time.  Went over to my sisters to see all of the work they are doing in their basement, they got a plasma TV.  It rocks.  On Sunday, Hubz mowed the lawn, washed the cars, and blew up our weed whacker.  I did nothing.  I was a lazy piece of shit.  I need to find a hobby.

So that is what is going on with me. 

Government Money

Okay, the IRS website tells me that today is the day we are supposed to be getting the government money.

It's 12:56pm, and still no money.

It is supposed to be direct deposited.

WTF?

UPDATE: Because we used our refund to pay for our electronic filing fee, we won't be getting direct deposit.  We will be getting a paper check mailed out by next Friday.  Fuck.

Random

Not too much going on with me.  Last night fell asleep at 6:30 woke up around 8:30 then went to bed.  I was wiped.

Ben has a birthday party to go to this weekend so that should be fun for him.

I can't believe tomorrow is May.  May is going to be a GREAT month.  It's mother's day, my birthday, IRS money is coming...WOO HOO!

I am looking forward to going to Home Depot and picking out the flowers for my garden and the hanging baskets for out front.  I am looking forward to getting the top on my car fixed.  I am looking forward to peeing on a stick every day next week to see if I am ovulating.  I am looking forward to going out to dinner for my birthday and hopefully getting THIS. 

We got a wonderful letter from the prinicpal about Maddy being such a good girl at school.  She actually had to go down to the office to pick it up.  I am so proud of her.

We have to go to the doctor today and go pick up Maddy's prescription, then off to the CVS we go.  Ben opened his piggy bank and wants a baby doll.  He is so funny.  The kids don't even know what Hubz and I are planning in that department, but the other day Ben says to me, "Is there a baby in your belly?"  and I told him no, and he said he likes little brothers.  Tee hee.  I hope I can tell him yes to that question soon.

Not Cool

Maddy was supposed to have a play date at 12pm yesterday.  Well I guess I shouldn't call it a play date because the girls are 10, but still, that is what it is.

It was only planned for a few days, but Maddy was so excited.  We cleaned the whole house in preparation for her arrival.  We were ready.

12 rolls around, nothing.  12:15, nothing.  1:00 nothing.  Tried to call her, no answer.  2:00 nothing.  Called her again and apparently she had to go to her aunt's party or something.  She was really upset she couldn't come over.

WTF?  They could have called us and told us they weren't coming.  Not just leave us hanging.  Poor Maddy was so upset she cried and cried and cried.  What the hell is wrong with her mother?  I just don't get it.

Not cool.

Not Pregnant

Well I'm not pregnant this month.  Aunt Flo is here with a vengeance.  This sucks.

I guess it's going to take a while this time too.

Am I going to be the type of person that has to take ovulation predictors etc?  I hope not.  I just want to do this the fun and easy way.  But I guess with my age, it may take a little more work.

I guess it's better off.  I just stopped taking my meds, it takes a while to get out of your system.  Just started the prenatal vitamins, just to get that ever so needed folic acid.  Sigh.

Hopefully next month.

Spotting

Dammit, I am spotting a bit a few days earlier than I thought my period was due. 

This sucks.

I really thought he got me this time :(

Grocery Shopping

I think one chore that I usually hate as much as laundry is the grocery shopping.  The prices are sky high anymore and that kind of takes the fun out of it. 

I usually have a kid in tow when I go.  Why?  Because I am worried that I talk to myself when I am there.  Looking at things.  Saying wow that price is high, or oooh it's on sale.  I would rather it look like I am saying that to my child.  Tee hee.

I used to go by myself, until one time someone looked at me a little strange, and it made me wonder if I was talking to myself out loud.  I probably was, because I know in my head, whenever I am there, the comments just go on and on and on.

I enjoyed going tonight though.  Ben came with me and he was an angel, and responded to most of my comments.  He is cute.

Making A Baby

With M and B it took 6 months to get pregnant with each of them.  Boy was that hard work.  I sure hope it doesn't take that long this time.

They say when you are older it may take longer or could be quicker.  We shall see.

I am excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Weekend

This weekend I am going over to my Mom's for a sleepover.  We are going to make dinner and watch a movie.  I can't wait.

I will miss my family to death, but I will be happy to just get away over night.

What is the news?

We are trying to expand our family!!!!!

Spring

I think it is finally spring around here.  Finally. 

It really felt like a long long winter.  I am happy that now it is time for capri pants once again!  I love my capri pants, even though I only have two pairs!

Spring will be a hard time to quit smoking, because since it is so beautiful out, it makes me want to take more breaks and go outside.  I don't have a window to look out, so going outside is the only way to get some sun.

Oh this post sucks.  I have nothing to write about.  There is some exciting talk in my family, and I really want to share it with you. 

Do you want to know what it is?

What's Cooking (Cliff Notes Version)

1) Maddy's teacher had to undergo heart surgery so he wont' be back until next year.  She was so upset.  But she seems to like her new teacher so I am happy about that.  It's just hard, because she just switched schools this year and had to get used to all of the newness.  I'm sure she will adjust fine.

2) Ben is fine.  He had to go to CVS with Hubz last night to get some Silly Putty.  Hubz told him to go to his piggy bank and get the money.  He ends up bringing the whole HEAVY thing downstairs for Hubz to open.  Too cute.

3) Smoking.  I am doing much better than I used to do.  It's so hard though.  No I have just cut down, I haven't quit yet.  I don't know how many I am having a day though.  Maybe I should keep count.

4) Hubz is great.  His job is going great and he is just great.  He hooked up our old laptop (the screen died) to the TV in the family room.  So now Maddy can go on Toontown on the TV.  It's pretty neat.  He has it all set up and networked to our regular computer so we can listen to MP3's or go online or whatever.  Coolness.

5) Comments.  I must admit that I am the worst commenter in the blogosphere.  But I would love to have some comments from all of you lurkers.  Hey what about you Media, PA?  How about you Philly, who searches for me on the internet?  How about you Clifton Heights, PA?  I know you guys read me every day, sometimes visit a few times a day.  I would just love a comment from you.  It would make my day.
