afternoon keeps getting better.....

I just checked on my favorite pitcher, and..... he got called up!!!!! I'm wearing my jersey ALL weekend!! Hopefully he can stay with the Nationals until they play the Cardinals on my bday weekend, so I can go and check him out!!!!!!

(I was going to put his pix up, but I can't get the "official" one to save right)

young and hawt???

I was having a kinda angry day from stress of the kids dad coming back and having to get my pay stub from my former work (arggghhhhhh! some people are just so dumb!). But, the last few hours have been awesome for my self-esteem!

So the next to the last hour of school, a girl from another class asked how old I was. I said, "Ummm, 31, why?" She said that she had a fake ID that looked more like me than her, and she was going to give it to me. I thanked her for the offer (and compliment!), but declined as I haven't needed one for quite some time. I really don't think I look that young, but you never know.....

Then, I had to meet up with the kids dad to drop them off. As I waited for him to sign something, he kept oogling me, checking me out. Then he asked what I was doing tonight, like he wanted me to go out with him and the kids. Appearantly I still have it!! Although his taste hasn't been any good since me, it still feels good to know that someone thinks you look hawt!

checked off list, loneliness

Over the weekend, we got some of our list accomplished. We got our container garden planted, the bug fertilizer put down, and we bought the kids new beds. I saved $120 on the beds by paying in cash! Yesterday my parents helped pick up the beds and set them up. Then last night, the kids slept in them. This was my first night alone in my bed in close to 6 months! The kids slept fabulously in their new beds, while I was lonely with no one to flip flop into me! I guess I'm just going to have to retrain myself, cause the third night alone is going to be the hardest, since the kids haven't been gone from my room/bed for more than 2 nights in over a year.

fishy

Saturday: Fishing, work, and weird things.

We went shopping in the morning. I made my mom buy some nightcrawlers, and made her promise to take us fishing sometime over the weekend. So we finally went Saturday evening. The boy caught a ginormous big-mouthed billy bass. The girl caught a little, itty, bitty baby crappie. And mom caught zip, nothing, but she fed all her worms to the fish off her hook, like a worm buffett.


This post was caught by the boy

crabby

Things that make me crabby today:

It's Memorail Day weekend, and Sonic isn't starting the morning drink (99 cent route 44) special!

The new "phosphate free" dishwasher detergent... Everything comes out with a weird, chalky film!

mother's day

So I'm a week behind on my my mother's day post! I rang in my mother's day at 12am by puking my brains out! Not sure what we ate at the party all Saturday we had that did not agree with us, but the girl was tossing, turning, moaning and gassing all night, and the boy had the big D. Luckily I came to again before the kids made me breakfast. I did, however have a banner taped across the hall to run through, like the athlete I am not! And I got a topsy turvy! I just need to get my tomato plants, and then it's on! The plan is to reduce the cost of caprese salad for the girl and I by growing our own tomatoes and basil!

We missed our church as our stomachs were recovering. The kids and I were able to hold down ramen and toast, so we went to church with Meems, Pamps, and the rest of all the whole, big, family that was in town!

Today, I got my gift from church, a list of what the kids said when asked certain questions about their mom! Here's what my kids said:

Q: Why do you love your mom?
Girl: She is cool
Boy: She's sweet as honey (I have to stop and laugh every time I read this one!)

Q: What is your mom's favorite thing to do?
Girl: Play with me
Boy: Hang out with me and sis
(Huh? I thought it was hide in the bathtub, eat nachos, chocolate, diet coke, but whatever)

Q: What is your mom always saying to you?
Girl: Make good choices
Boy: I love you

Q: What can you do better than your mom?
Girl: Ride a bike
Boy: Work a computer

Q: How do you help your mom?
Girl: Cook dinner
Boy: I do chores

Q: What is the funniest thing your mom does?
Girl: She plays with me
Boy: She's clumsy sometimes

Q: What does your mom do during the day?
Girl: Sits around and plays
Boy: She goes to school

Q: How do you know your mom loves you?
Girl: Because she lets me sleep with her
Boy: She says so!

At the back of the book the girl drew a card with a picture of me running! And the boy wrote me a letter that makes me tear up!
