Success!

Today has been a very successful day and I'm feeling pretty productive. I got a lot of things done off of my "to do" list, got our reservations made for our trip to go see Braeden graduate boot camp (knock on wood that he graduates), got caught up on PTA stuff and I finally lost my crown. Not a tiara type crown, but a tooth type crown.

Yup, I lost my crown. The crown has been loose for months, and the dentist wanted me to chew gum, and try and get it to come off by itself, cause he was afraid if he pulled it off he would break it. So, I have been diligently doing everything they tell you not to do when you have a crown, and it finally - success!! Only problem is that the dentist is out of the office until Thursday, today is Monday. So I get to walk around with my "hillbilly hole" until then.

Have any small children you'd like to scare? Drop me a line - my kids assure me that the gaping hole will do the trick!

Last day of vacation

Oh, woe is me. Tomorrow starts up all the routine things again, no more staying in PJ's all day, no more watching hours of streaming Netflix, no more Doctor Who-athon's with Emma. Back to daily trips to drop and pick the kids up at school, back to volunteering, back to work, back to all the regular things that make up our days. Sigh... I miss vacation already.

22 Years

22 years ago today, I married this man:




and I thank my lucky stars every day that I did, and my children thank me too!

Happy New Year 2010!!!

We had a very nice party last night with a few friends, Paula & Danh and their 2 kiddos, Keith & Jody and Bruce. Great food, the guys played King Oil and the kids played in the bedroom. The gals just sat around and chatted.

The weather today is windy and rainy, so we voted to just have a stay in day! Mitch & I traded anniversary presents early, I wanted him to be able to start watching the Star Trek movie, he was really pleased with his present. I loved mine, The Art of Mastering French Cooking boxed set. Fun to look through and read. Will have to see what I can make out of it.

About noon I started not feeling well, guess I've come down with some stomach bug. Hope it is just the 24 hour variety and that this doesn't show how 2010 is going to go for me health wise.

Going to get our tickets for Braeden's boot camp graduation (PIR). Hope the weather cooperates for us to fly into Milwaukee. I miss that kid, his letters are so mature sounding, it will be good to see for myself how he has changed.

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year. My wish for everyone is that the best of last year, is the worst of this year!
