hip hip hooray!

three cheers for the soccer mom! my kids kicked serious tail yesterday in our very first game. i actually felt bad for the other team. our kids: 7. their kids: 0. scoring no goals is suckage and my heart went out to them. my kids showed great spirit too, considering the wind chill yesterday made it about 33 degrees fahrenheit. brrrrsky.

my apologies for the absence. i wonder if anyone else experiences the writer's block that i do after i fail to post for almost a week. it seems like the words flow when i post often and the words clog up in the torso chute when i post rarely.

random randomness from the past 5 days (in no particular order):

12-15 coronas in one sitting leads to extreme drunkeness.

steak and eggs at 2 am with friends is divine.

never drink so much as to miss your boss breakdancing!

blackjack is all about beating the dealer. even if you have to sit on 12.

the utah jazz suck so much ass. up by 20 points in the 3rd, lose by three when the buzzer sounds. lame-os!!

going back to work after a vacation sucks.

i love my kids. they have been very helpful all week and really good sports about everything. they are cute and i love them.

easter dinner kicked so much butt.

sanjaya is still on american idol. W. T. F?!?!??!?!?

i keep watching dancing with the stars in the hopes that heather mills' leg will fall off. hold your hate mail and admit you'd like to see it too!! i know it's wrong, but at least i'll own it.

why am i still watching lost? nothing happens on this show ever.

i knew larry birkhead was the father of anna nicole's baby.

it's good to be back. mwah. xoxo...

the day AFTER st. patty's

da paulster and i spent the greenest holiday of the year with our dear pals bridge and hubby. i made a lovely corned beef brisket with cabbage (which stunk up our entire house and paul's truck, too). we had beers and sourdough bread on the side and the kids had hot dogs, green chips, green grapes and green sprite.

it was awesome!!

we sat outside, chatted and watched the kids play. later, we played bastard (aka shithead, asshole, etc.). we had a great time and it was a perfect evening with kids having fun and old friends hanging out.

i hope your entire weekend was excellent. mwah.

The "other" V word...

Yes, it was Valentines Day. A word I maintain is a swear word. I love a lot of family and friends, but having to go buy stuff on a certain day of the year is annoying. Expensive too. Jess and Al... consider this post a Valentine Card. /wink

Alone? Kinda. I did have my two kids with me almost all day. Then I had Loralee and Karen show up for a fun filled night of games. More on this at the end of the post.

Where was my husband?

Australia.

I did get to web cam with him today finally. The kids LOVED that. He is all nice and tan. Lucky guy. I am glad I made him go. He really needed to go. He doesn't realize how important he is to me. It has been easier than I would have thought having him far away, but I really do miss him. I have been lucky that my kids have behaved. It really is a new development. My husband does a lot of stuff for me. Changes lightbulbs, takes out the trash, wakes up and tries to stay awake with me when I have a terrible nightmare. You get the picture. With all we have been through I really do still love him.

In case he ever reads this blog... I LOVE YOU.

K, now to the anoying part of my day.

1. I almost got hit by a HUGE truck today. A semi in fact. It ran a red light, and it ran it fast. Luckily I was somewhat awake and hit the brakes hard. I am also lucky I didn't get rear ended. The car behind me was also awake.
2. I had TWO valentine parties to go to for my kids. Was late to the first one, and was late to the second one too. Once again, I was lucky I made it at all.
3. My son called me from school. He was sick. Poor guy. Poor me. Poor my daughter. I had to leave her during her Valentine party at preschool to go pick her brother up.
4. Both of my kids were invited to bday parties on Saturday. Both parties are at the same time. Which one do I take them to?

It really was just that type of day.

Now this evening I had a very good laugh. Did you know that "but I am still a virgin" could be used as an excuse for almost anything? I didn't. I am going to start using it. I might have to use, "but I still wish I was a virgin," as my excuse. Who knows. I'll see if it works. I played Rumikube tonight, then we read tarot cards. That was FUN. I really need to get more into that.

Well off to bed I go. I wish a Happy V Day to all of you out there. Thank you to all my friends, I love you all!
