one more day

And he comes home!!  I've been going nuts without him here. Otherwise it's been a boring week.  The kids only had one full day of school, due to mother nature.  I made 4 dozen brownie cups for Valentine's Day (which was the only full day they had).  That's the most I did all week.  Today I have to go to work...ewwwwwww.  Then tomorrow night (about midnight, if his flights aren't delayed) I pick him up at the airport.  YAY!

OH OH OH...one more thing--before he left, he said because he was going to a wedding, he might come back inspired.  Well guess what--I got my engagement ring back!

til next time...=)

he's goooooooooone

Yup...for the week. His flight left at 6:53 am. He's on his way to Iowa for a wedding. Just getting him to the airport was an adventure in itself. Got up at 3:30am, he was up and ready by 4:45. I started the car around the same time to warm it up--it got a little too warm. Meaning it was thisclose to overheating. At 5am. A block away from the house. 20 minutes away from the airport. Icy roads and fog. Now snow. Uh-oh. What to do, what to do...I called my neighbor, Julie. (You know, the one I raved about a year ago for helping us move...) Don't you know she got up, warmed up her car and took us up there in whiteout conditions without hesitation? Yup...she did.

Anyhoo, he got checked in and through security in record time...about 20 minutes. And that was with going through security twice--he had to put something from his carry-on into his other bag. Then he found out he got a window seat. After that, the announcement came over that they had to de-ice the plane. Keep in mind, this is his first time flying...

He should be landing in Chicago around 9:15 my time to wait almost 4 hours for his connecting flight...I'll keep ya posted.

til next time...=)

FINALLY! After 4 months of having to deal with a crappy computer and even crappier internet service, I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! Pretty new puter, and a sweet wireless modem too...

As you can see, I got a scanner packaged with the puter...WOOHOO!

As for baby news, I'm 26 weeks now, and it's like the Energizer Bunny...keeps going and going and going. By the way, we know what it is...wanna know? ....hmmm, i dunno....maybe I'll keep ya in suspense....then again, if I tell ya, you can help narrow the name down to one....well....let me see....it's a boy....no wait, it's a girl....then again, it might be twins.....you know, I can show an ultrasound pic now that I can scan it....

til next time...=)

Happy 2008!

moving sucks and more

    Actually, moving then not moving sucks.  My main reason:  no more DSL.  Once again, I'm stuck with dial-up.  Verizon gave me a hard time getting the DSL transferred back into this house, after I cancelled the transfer in the first place.  They turned it on in the new house, but they couldn't transfer it back, since there was no phone line to disconnect in the "new" house (the one I didn't move into).  DUH.  Anyhoo, here I am, and that's why I haven't really posted or read e-mail or anything.  I hate dial-up, therefore, I avoid it like the plague.

    On to other news...I had my OB appointment last week, and all looks good--I'm pregnant...NO...REALLY?  LOL.  Had my first ultrasound the other day too...at 9 weeks!  Last time, they didn't have them that soon.  Got to hear the baby's heartbeat and see it too.  (There's only one in there.)  Next time, I'll get a 3D ultrasound...woohoo!  After the ultrasound, I got 12 (yes, 12) vials of blood taken, for all sorts of tests.  Yay.

    One other thing that happened recently was the kids' birthday party.  I combined them this year,  since they're only 3 weeks apart.  We had a pool party at the same place Joey had his last year.  It was awesome!  All the kids had fun, and so did I.  Have to do that again sometime.

    So that's what's been going on.  Sorry I haven't been commenting...feeling pukey and migraines and being tired (especially with the new work hours) make me not want to do anything.  Ewwwww.
