My 100th Post!!!!

Well, only 2 more get-ups until vacation! Wahoo! I hate that I get so excited before vacation because it is always such a letdown after vacation when I have to come back to reality! Oh well!!!!!

So, yeah….the lunch with Stinky Pete yesterday was interesting. I guess that after thinking back over the conversation, there are more things I could’ve/should’ve said….but at least the door is open now. This is the first time we have been asked for HONEST feedback. The key is how will he put it to action. Talk is cheap….he can apologize and tell us his plans….but until we SEE a difference in his actions, I am not going to get too excited. So, we will see!!!!

Not really a whole lot to talk about yesterday. After work, I picked up the kiddos and decided to go to Wal-Mart to get a few things for vacation. The kids cooperated for the most part. I got a basket thingy for the van to collect toys and books for the kids. FAB is one of those kids that always has to take something with her. So, she usually has books or toys or something every time we go someplace. I get so tired of that stuff all over the van…so I bought a basket on clearance for that. And let’s see….I bought a new little fan because I need one for my desk at work…it is going to be a hot summer for me! And we need it for vacation because we have to have our fan!!! I got I-Man a soccer goal that we saw at Bug’s party on Saturday and a new Scooby Dooby movie for vacation. The thing I was really looking for…I couldn’t find! My parents have a sleeping bag that has an air mattress in it for I-Man. It is a Bob the Builder thing and he has out-grown Bob….so I was looking for a new one. So, since we couldn’t find it there, we headed to Target. So, at Target, first of all I want to get FAB a pair of sandals that she will wear. SQ has given me some really cute sandals….but FAB cries for her tennis shoes when I try to put them on her. So, I thought maybe if we bought some Dora ones or something that she would wear them. Well, I was showing her a pair of Dora ones and even a pair that lit up and she liked them. So, I took her tennis shoe off and her sock and started to put the sandal on her. She threw a fit. So, I have figured out that she doesn’t like the feel without socks. So, she might not be a sandal girl until later. Isn’t that funny? She is a silly girl! So anyways….we headed to the toy aisle and I found the sleeping bag/air mattress thing I was looking for. They had some girly ones and then they had a Spiderman one for about $30….which is what I was figuring they would be. Well, I thought I-Man would pick the Spiderman one – but he really wanted Batman…they didn’t have that…..so instead he picked out a Mrs. Spider one. That is a show on Noggin or Nick Jr. Basically, it looks like a rainforest with pretty bugs on it. So, I don’t see a price for it…but figure it shouldn’t be more than the Spiderman one. So, we take it and the Spiderman one to a price checker thingy and it shows that it is $6.24. WHAT? That can’t be right! I check it a few times to be safe. I still didn’t really believe it…so I went up to the check-out and was fully expecting it to ring up higher…but it didn’t! It was only $6.24! I was shocked! For once my kid didn’t pick the most expensive thing!!!!

So, we went through McD’s drive through and went home. We ate on the picnic table which FAB thought was so much fun. Then I put together I-Man’s new soccer goal and then we all came inside. We blew his new bed up and it was great! I really can’t believe the deal I got! He laid on it and watched TV all night. We gave the kids baths and then watched AI.

My take on AI: LOVED Taylor and don’t agree with Simon at all…..thought Chris’s first song was not great…more the selection than the vocals….but LOVED his second song. Elliot was the best he had ever been and the best overall last night! His second song was just AWESOME. HATED Katherine and think she should go home. We’ll see tonight!

So, that was about it last night! Today, Hubby took the van to get the breaks fixed. They have been acting up lately. So I had to clean his trashy car out before I could even bring myself to drive it to work today. Geesh! He lives in that thing! But I forgot how fun it is to drive a little car and zip around in it! Have had a good day at work so far. Lots of big-wigs here today…so Stinky Pete has been busy with that. I have gotten a lot done…but still have a lot more to do and I have to leave early to get the kids because my aunt has a funeral to go to. And I have to leave early tomorrow too for my doctor’s appointment. I am loving that!!!!

Hubby has tickets to the Red’s game tonight….I got them through work. But the weather doesn’t look good. I think that King and Big Bear are going to go with Hubby and I-Man…if it doesn’t rain. Bummer that the first and maybe only time I got the tickets the weather is sucky! I have to teach at church tonight even thought I-Man won’t be there…..that is a bummer! Oh well!!!

Well, I guess that is it for today. I want for my Sister to make my journal pretty like hers! I am so jealous of the fun things that others do….Mine is so blah! Oh well!

Love to all and hope you have a great day!
