Lazy Saturday

Today was an ok day. Slept in for a change and that was nice but could not seem to get myself awake for most of the day. I took a pain pill yesterday and then went to the new Super Walmart that just opened up....BIG MISTAKE there. I was so loopy that it was actually funny. I also was so hot!! My whole body broke out in a sweat and my whole hair was sopping wet. It was the weirdest thing. I know it had to be the pill because my kids and my husband were not hot at all and I was burning hot!! After some fresh air I felt a little better so we went to Cicuit City so I could return my cell phone that I had bought a couple weeks ago and get a better one. I really like my new phone. The camera on the other one was horrible and this one is really nice. I really wanted a more expensive phone but could not justify spending the money so I got a phone that only cost me $20.00 more than the other one, and like I said it is a really nice V-Cast phone. That means I can watch streamline videos and play games in 3d and that kind of thing. I did download Tetris on my phone and I may download some ring tones but I probably won't bother with all that more fancy stuff.
My family just took it easy today. We rented some videos and watched Spiderman 2 for about the hundreth time. My son really likes that movie. I pretty much played with my phone and figured it out. That was fun. I am such a tech geek!!!
Tomorrow is church of course then we may go to the Frankenmuth Ice Festival....that is if all the ice didn't melt by now. It was almost 50 degrees out today.
I joined a few online groups yesterday. One is "Christian Internet Moms" and a couple scrapbooking ones and a soap one. Cant remember the names right off hand.
My mom called me yesterday and asked me if "I had heard the news?" I said "What news?" "That your sister is getting married?" I told her yeah I knew about it and was told not to say anything. She asked me a couple other questions and I said that I already knew most of it. My mom is really upset about the whole situation. She does not care for this man that my sister is going to marry. She was crying on the phone. It is a long story but lets just say that I think we all feel that she is making a huge mistake. I told my mom that "I was not happy with the decision either but I was not going to stop talking to her because she made a choice that I didn't approve of" My mom said that she just needs to learn to let go. I guess that she is going to get married in Las Vegas in March. I love my sister very much and I only want what is best for her and if this is what she is going to do then I will have to accept it. I don't know this man very well so I guess I will just have to try and get to know him a little better.
Well that is about all for today. I am going to go to bed now and get some sleep. I took another pain pill a little while ago and it is starting to make me loopy again. Perhaps more tomorrow.

I fell today on the ice.. I am so sore. I hurt my shoulder, the one that already gives me problems, hurt my knee and twisted my back and I think I may have hit my head. I did go to Bible Study but I came home after the class part. I didn't stay for the lecture. My house is a mess and my husband is going to be mad but he will just have to have a little compassion for me. I already know that he will probably laugh because he thinks that I am such a clutz anyways. He better not or I will have to hurt him!!! I am sitting on the couch with the computer on the keyboard shelf and the keyboard in my lap watching my soaps. I got addicted to them again after my car accidents. My satalite is turned off right now so the picture does not come in as clear as it could. I need to get it turned back on because I miss my TiVo. There are just too many shows that I like that are on at the same time.My head is killing me!!! I think I am going to take a pill and lay down for awhile. More perhaps later.

January 23, 2006

Did a whole lot of nothing today. Looked through a few scrapbooking idea books. I really want to start putting more color and prints in my layouts. Got a few ideas that I am looking forward to trying. We rented the movie "Flight Plan" and we watched it together while eating pizza. It was a really good movie. Not a whole lot of anything interesting. Have Bible Study tomorrow. (if I go) I think the kids get their report cards tomorrow, then church tomorrow night. I know my life is not so interesting to read about....sorry. Perhaps more tomorrow.....

Well I did have fun this weekend despite the fact that I forgot my pictures in the car. It is a little hard to scrapbook without pictures. I had a few pages I did because I had previously started some pages so I finished those, got my pages I had done in my son's book and worked on some pages for my niece Emily who is graduating this year. I called and asked her some questions like the colors of her Homecoming dresses and Prom dress, some of her favorite things and stuff like that.

All-in-all I had a pretty good weekend even though my whole table barely got any pages completed..it was a fun and relaxing weekend. I learned a new card game called "Dutch Blitz" it is really fun. Also I slept like a rock this weekend. (I am sure the drugs helped a little (lol) I am glad that I was able to go. I was really tired before I got there, Jon and I went to the Auto Show in Detroit and we ate lunch in Greek Town and ended up having to pay $20.00 to park our car.We were supposed to get our ticket validated at the casino( that is where we parked our car) but because we didn't come between the hours of 10 and 4 we had to pay. That is my husband, always early for everything. We got there like 9:40am. Oh well. The Auto Show was nice (if you like looking at thousands of cars for fun) I did like some of the concept cars though. There was one where the steering wheel was square and you could play your X-box 360 in the car. Now that is just stupid. I don't think that particular car will ever be.After the show we went to the mall for awhile. Now I told Jon that we really should head home because I still needed to pack my clothes and get the kids. He said that he had it all worked out and he had actually called his mom and arranged for her to pick up the kids from school. That was sweet, the man never plans anything. After we got home Jon sat down on the couch and fell asleep for a little while and when he woke up he was such a grouch! I had to ride all the way to Lapeer with him acting like a butt head. We got lost on the way there and by the time we arrived I was so irritated with him that I just had to get out of that car. I got all my stuff out told him goodbye...then realized I left my picture box in the car. How stupid was that. Well I ended up having a pretty relaxing weekend after all and not so worried about how many pages I completed. Just took time for Tami this weekend and it was nice.

I got home today and no one was here. They were still at church. I had to climb through the window (again) and when I got into the house I was ticked!! The house was a complete pig sty! I cleaned it up for the most part and then Jon came home with Parker. (Kayla went sledding with a friend) now that is another story that I was not too happy about. I told her that I had not seen her all weekend and she didn't seem to care. She said that she would see me later. Oh well. I told Jon that if I ever left the house in that big of a mess when he was away he would be so upset with me. He said that he planned on cleaning it when he got home from church and it was not his fault that I came home as early as I did. (which is true) So anyway that was my weekend. I had to use my electric stimulater quite a few times this weekend and the past week. Muscles are still acting up. Well that is about all I have for today.....perhaps more later.

Today was an ok day. I had decided not to go on the scrapbooking weekend and I called and told the lady in charge and she said is it about money? Would you go if your way was paid for? and I said probably and then she said consider yourself going....Now that was a blessing. I wasn't going to go because no one was going to go that I roomed with last year and then my friend said that she was going(before she told me there was not way that she was going) and Kim, my sister-in-law is now going and now I am going. I hope to have fun. I usually do but I have not been feeling well and my muscles are all whacked up so I really want to feel well when I go..I usually don't sleep to well when I go away from home but I will be taking my pills with me that is for sure. I have been getting my things together...I think that my Jon is a little upset with me because he wanted to do something tomorrow night and I said that I was not going , but how can I pass up a free trip? He is taking tomorrow off work so we can do something together...isn't that sweet? He told me to be up and ready and to have my things together in the morning...if I am to do this then I need to get off here and go to bed. The kids get their report cards tomorrow I think. I think that they did well. Well I will write when I return...wish me well

I did not end up going to bible study today after all. Just didn't feel like braving the weather. I didn't get it done anyway so I really saw no point in going. Not much happened today. Took the kids to school, came home, cleaned the house, watched tv and played on the computer. My life is not very exciting. Went to church this evening. The group that I work with had a progressive dinner....(you go to different houses and they serve you different courses of dinner) The first house we went to was the drinks, the second was the soup, the third was the appetizer, the fourth was the dinner (spagehetti and garlic bread....YUM!!!) and then we headed back to the church for dessert. It was really nice and all the kids were well behaved.(for a change) I think that there were about 32-35 kids. I am thinking about going to a scrapbook event this weekend. I wasn't going to go but my sister-in-law is now going to go and also my friend is now going to go. They had previously said that they were not going to go and now they changed their minds....still not sure if I am going, I want to but I don't. I have to make up my mind tomorrow and call the person and tell her if I am going to come. I have the money in the bank and I am going to be getting a check next week for reimbursement of my prescriptions. I have not worked on my book in quite a while. The only thing is that my best friend is not going this year and that bums me out. Also I don't sleep well when I am away from home and it takes me 2 days to catch up on my sleep...it doesn't help that we stay up wayyyyyyyyy to late either. I guess I could take my pills with me and that way I would probably be able to sleep better.

I called my sister-in-law Vicki today and asked her if she would like for me to make a scrapbook for Emily's graduation and if so then she should get me some pictures soon. I really wanted them for this weekend because I am not sure what I want to work on if I do end up going. I have about 5 books started and decisions, decisions. I thought if I had something a little different it would be better.She said that it would take her months to go through her pictures. She is a really busy person. I told her to just go through her high school years...she said that was a better idea and that she would put Emily on it....it will get done soon now. She said that she would love for me to make her an album. I told her that I would buy the book and that would be our graduation gift to her. I think that is a nice gift. Emily is my girl. I used to cart her around all the time when she was a little girl before I married Jon. She hold a very special place in my heart. I can't believe that she is 18 years old and graduating....it just does not seem real. Time goes by so fast. I went and saw the play that Vicki directed called "Noises UP" it was really good and Emily did a fantastic job as a ditz...(lol) seriously she is a really good actress...she was Ariel in "Footloose" last year. I try to make all the things that she and Leah are in. Nathan to. He directed a play at their church and I went to that as well. I like to be there for them...not sure exactly why because they don't seem to see anything that my kids are in...but that is neither here or there. I love to go and support them anyways. Well that is about all... I guess I have a decision to make....Will write more soon.

My neck and shoulder are killing me today. Had to use my electode unit 2 times today. I sure hope he lets up and gives me my shots soon.

January 17, 2006

Not too much happened today. The weather was really icy this morning and it has been raining most of the day. All day long it looked like it was evening. No sun. I am so sick of this weather. My muscles really tense up when the weather is like this. I am ready for spring!!! I am supposed to go to bible study tomorrow but I can't find my last study so I may not go. I guess it will depend on how the weather is tomorrow. That is about all. Going to bed now. Perhaps more tomorrow......

January 16, 2006

I have not posted anything on here for a while....as my sister has clearly stated to me. She told me to start to blog, blog, blog...I introduces her to blogging and we like to read each others blogs...so (Nena...this is for you!!)

I now officially have a teenager. My daughter Kayla turned 13 on Friday. I had given her a choice of whether to throw her a birthday party or give her $100.00. She chose the money!!! I always let my kids skip school on their birthday and I make it a special day for them. We went shopping and Kayla got about 5 tops...a couple sweaters and a couple of those short jackets and a pair of black pants that look so cute on her. We then went and saw that new movie with Queen Latifah (I love her) called "Last Holiday" it was really funny and we both enjoyed our day immensely. That night Kayla had an all nighter with her teen group. They went shopping again and Kayla bought herself some new blue jeans(like she needs any more jeans) she stilled had money left over.So all-in-all I think that Kayla had a great birthday.

Yesterday at church I was told by the youth pastors wife that she needed to talk have a meeting with us at their house. I asked why...was it bad? She said that it was about something that happened at the all nighter. I was like uh oh. I could not imagine what Kayla would have done...she is such a well behaved child while she is away from home. (at home is another story) (lol) Well it turned out that some girls had carved names in the back of the youth pastor's couch and Kayla's name was on there. Kayla said that she did not do it and when I saw the writing I knew that she had not written it. It was not Kayla's writing. Kayla told her side of the story that she was behind the couch with a friend painting their nails when she looked and saw her name was written on the couch. She was upset and I guess she told the youth pastor's wife about it. Well it is taken care of because they know her writing and they had asked several girls that were there and they said that Kayla didn't do it. I know that she has not lied to me before (Yet) I am sure that it is coming but I am really glad to know that she can be trusted while she is away from me...it means I am doing something right.

Well I think that my New Years Resolution is going to be to get more organized!!! Also to get another house as well. One with closets space...lots and lots and lots of closet space! I am so sick of not having anywhere to put anything.

Well hubby is home now so I am going to cut this short. Will write more again soon.

January 4, 2006

It is now a new year!! Yeah!!! I sure hope that this year is better than last year so far not so. I got news at the doctor yesterday that I cann0t have my cortizone shots for a while. I am really terrified about this because they are about the only thing that makes me even remotely feel normal. I need to learn how to deal with the pain with my exercises and medications. PLEASE!!! I feel like complete crap today...it has been raining here and my muscles are all cramped up. I need to go and use my electonic unit. I put these little sticky thingys on my muscles and then electrodes go through me and it is supposed to help relax my muscles. I have not been sleeping well either. Last night I went and laid down about four in the afternoon and slept til almost 8p.m. Then I woke up and spent some time with my kids and went back to bed about 11p.m. I think I fell asleep after midnight. I took the kids to school this morning and came back and my house key would not work on my lock...it was stuck. I had to climb through a window and for those who know me they know that this is no easy feat for me. I laid back down and did not wake up til after noon. I must have really needed it. I am supposed to go and see a neurologist tomorrow for my headaches but I think that I am going to cancel. Not sure yet. I really don't want to go to another doctor right now and yes I get headaches but most of the time I can ward them off if I feel them coming on. Well that is about all for now. Perhaps more tomorrow....
