Hello lOves!

Well, we survives the Elementary School Talent show last night.
After sitting through the rehearsal last week, I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it again. But as much as it was a long night :) I have to give these kids lots and lots of credit. They really sang/played/danced their hearts out.
Now if I only didn't have some song, Belong with Me??, in my head. I listen to metal/alt rock, and I never heard that song before the rehearsal. 3 times that night and 3 times last night makes 6 times way to many for a metal head like me LOL

I am sitting here, watching the snow come down, kids have no school. I should say kid has no school- Scott still has plenty of HW to do even tho the tutor isn't coming.
I am feeling "relieved" b/c a snow day gives me an excuse to be lazy, unlike fighting that feeling the last week or so.

I am going to try to catch up on some blogging, gallery commenting, then I am going to do nothing (and try to enjoy it LOL)
Oh man, yesterday I was so bad- I had stuff I needed to do but couldn't get myself into any sort of mental state to do it. I can see how it is hard for Scott at times. This kind of moos is so not liek me, but I can't seem to break out of it.

Anyway, hope you all are staying dry and warm and happy!

xoxoxoxo
 
Linda W- how much snow did you end up getting? Has it stopped by you yet?
Glad to hear that scrap therapy is going good!

Sally- how is your mom doing today? Was thinking of her yesterday!

Clara- how dare those patients intrude on your scrap time! :lol: JK! Hope today is great for you.
Ahhh, you know how to bribe me, sun and vodka hahahahha!
Love your line about the round pegs- I can so relate ;)

Anyone have WWW? (Wishes and Wants on Wed)
I wish that the snow would stay looking as pretty as it does right now but that it would shovel itself.
I want the people who have to be on the roads to be safe.
I want my mojo back!
 
Hey girlies! I'm up early for me!! (sorry that 8am is early, but remember I'm a musician/artist...creativity works best at midnight!!)

Today we have our annual Valentine's Party with our BFFs...there should be 22-ish kids there!! Lillian and Quentin still have to make their boxes and address their valentines. omgosh...i have to admit (cause I'm like that!!) that this was the first year I BOUGHT valentines!!! I almost (almost...mind you!) feel guilty!! okay....I'm over it now!! LOL!!!

Ohhh and My mil is doing fine. I'm hoping she's in a lot less pain than she was yesterday. It was bad. I was even asking the nurse for something more for her, and the nurse was like..we've given her too much already!! ... so she did make it home last night and was dealing with that gas dissipation that you have to deal with when you have laproscopic surgery (i'm sure Clara can clarify that for us when she gets on!!). I just know that when I had my tubes tied (tmi, i know!!), that gas pain liked to kill me!!! :) So I'm really feeling for her! Thanks for all of your good thoughts and prayers!!! She appreciates it too!!

okay...off to crack the Valentine's whip!!!

LOVE you all!! :)
 
Chris, I'm soooo glad you get a "snow" day...put your feet up and RELAX!!!! XOXOXOX

Linda, hope you are dug out of all of that white stuff!! :) hugs (and warmth) to you!

Clara, I was missing your novels here...so glad to have your ramblings back!! hugs!!! and yes, I'll send her to you (or you come down here!!! LOL!!)

and to everyone else!!!
 
Good morning ladies. Well, today I should have plenty of scrap time. I stayed home today. I have a horrible headache. I never want to say migraine, because I've never been diagnosed with migraines and I don't get them very often and I just don't feel like that is what they should be called...but they do hurt and I just didn't feel like going to work. So, I'm lying in bed with my laptop instead. It sucks because we can't find the remote and we can't get the cable to work without the remote so no tv in our room unless we find it. I could get motivated and find some movies or even go downstairs, but it is too bright downstairs so I'll stay here with my laptop.

Today Derek is off snowboarding. The nearest mountain is having military appreciation day today so some of his budiies were going up since the lift tickets were half off. He had a free pass so it didn't really matter. He found a ride too so it didn't cost him anything. Yay!! Tonight is our financial peace university class. Today is the debt snowball lesson. One of the most important lessons in the whole class. How to dump your debt. We have a lot of debt. We have a car that is 1 year old and my student loans plus the average family total in credit cards. So, now we have to come up with a plan to get rid of that debt. I've recently gone into panic mode about my children's education and want to either homeschool them or put them into private school but as long as we have all that debt we cannot move them anywhere. It sucks. Gotta change things and quickly before they get too much older. I'd really like ethan to move up a grade but he is sooooooo little. He's smaller than all the girls in his class and he's got some focus issues. I really wish they had some kind of education counselor that could help me decide what the heck to do with my kids. Some kind of child advisor or child education advocate that didn't have some sort of agenda, ya know? It stinks. Did you know that Washington State has one of the highest school spending rates and some of the lowest test scores in the country? It is crazy. It freaks me out a bit. I believe we are in one of the better districts but not a wonderful district. Ugh!!

Anyway...

Sally - I am so glad that your MIL is doing okay after the surgery and I am sure she is in a bit of pain. The air in her belly will be quite a bit uncomfortable after the surgery. So the reason it is so uncomfortable and why it is so hard to get rid of is because it is unnatural and doesn't pass naturally. When they do the surgery, they put those big straw sized tubes into her abdomen. Well, you have all of her flesh on flesh and they can't see what they are doing so they pump the area they want to work in full of air and create a big bubble space to work in. So, when they are done they just pull all their equipment out and they might be able to pull out some of the air but not all of it. So, you are left with at least some of that air bubble. Your body slowly absorbs that air into it and it will eventuallu go into your intestines and pass through as gas but it happens very slowly and you feel all fat and bloated for sometimes weeks. That air is in between organs underneath your liver, so not really in an ideal place to get absorbed quickly, but it will get absorbed, it just isn't fun and comfortable in the meantime. It really just straight up kinda sucks...but is much better than having the doctors slice through your abdomenal wall and muscles like they used to before laproscopic surgery. So, all you wanted to know about laproscopic surgery right?? :) Haha!! You know...I've been missing my novels too. I think it is the time of year. I've noticed a lot of funk going around. But the will start shining and my pages will get longer and life will be better and better. Life is good, right?? You know I may picking your brain soon about homeschooling. I have decided that if we move I am homeschooling the kids. My husband isn't quite on bored. He thinks homeschooling generally means a lesser education, which like anything else sometimes it can, but sometimes it can also mean a much better education. I just know that right now I don't think my kids are getting what they need and something is going to have to change. I figure we'll know what will be changing in the next 6 ish months. Maybe we'll get to move to Germany and then I'll just put my kids in the German school system. Now that would be awesome. I'd try and get Derek to retire there and get my kids to live there as long as possible and have them be bilingual. Ethan is already a part of the EU system as an Italian citizen. Hmmmm...

Vicki - Hello there!! Glad you dropped by even if it is real quick!!

Linda - I'm sending a snuggie your way. Stay warm and stay safe!! Oh, in case you've missed it everywhere else...you're the bestest!!

Everyone else - have a great day. Love you all!!



Chris - Be lazy girl. I am today.
 
Awww Sally I am glad you MIL is doing okay! ((hugs))

A quick flyby by me....am still having tooth/Jaw pain from this annoying sinus infection but luckily it is only from the sinus infection :) Not a cavity situation so that is good :) So I am just keeping low key...trying to keep the crankies away :) Hard when you are snowed in....we had 28" on Saturday and now about 12" more on top of that! We aren't going anywhere anytime soon!

Hope you all are safe and having a good day!
 
Hi everyone- too tired and mentally exhausted for personals- let me just say- I was blessed to work all day and drive home through drifted roads- talked to dh on the way home - we live in a rural area- and told him I was taking the yellow line home- he said - yellow line- Yeah the longer main road drive so I know where the road is- it has a yellow line in the middle, unlike the back roads I usually take! Enough said- dinner - glass of wine followed by food- that was a bad day- I never drink wine during the week without dinner and dh! We are getting two new therapist, and so to have enough office space we are moving offices and combining treatment areas for pediatric patients PT & OT- it will be an experience- what I don't understand is even though by agreeing to move we are saving a potential of over $10,000 in new office furniture- they won't spend under $1000 to make the move more comfortable- new equipment, storage boxes- arghhh. Tomorrow is my day off and I am getting my haircut! Thanks for letting me vent
