best friends

My Weekend.
Yesterday, (sunday) I got a visit from my friend Jessi from High School. She and I talked and reminisced of days gone by. We looked at scrapbooks and talked about our signifigant others. It was a relaxing time and I enjoyed it imensely.
We got a call from our other HS friend, Cassey. We went to meet up with her in Flint.

There we shopped, laughed and talked up for a while. Eat pizza and again talked about days gone by. It was nice but too short! We all agreed to get together soon...when all this blasted snow melts!!
It was great to see my two best friends again. More reconnecting.
Once at home I made dinner and sat down at the TV and watched a little of the Nascar race. When my husband fell asleep on the floor I immediately turned the channel to watch the Oscars....love the Oscars. That's about all of my weekend....hope yours was great.

Connecting

I recently reconnected with a few of my "older" friends. One is one I look up to and she's been friends with the family for years. I just haven't gotten the opportunity to see her much over the years and was very glad to be able to sit down and talk with her. The other was one of my high school best friends. I haven't seen her for about 5 years now. Yet, still being with her was like going back in time. I was actually having fun and joking around and laughing. I felt good again. I felt sort of like I was back in HS. Not that I don't laugh or joke or have fun but it was in a different way this time. A more relaxed time. Being with both friends made me rethink my attitude on myself. I need to take better care of myself, emotionally and physically.
I want to feel happy all the time. For myself and no one else.


On a another note.

My Weekend so far...
Has been dog sitting....and cleaning up pee!! and the darn dog is housebroken!!! Is it bad to want to throw a dog outside in this weather and wish it luck?? I would of course never do that but come on! It's already left my robe, husband's shoe and a pair of pants covered in piss! And it went on my carpet and twice in my son's room and in my kitchen!! I'm not fond of the dog now! And it's only for the night! I can't wait for it's owners to come and get the little rat dog!

Now on that note I'll leave you, I have to go and wash my robe, again. it still stinks!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
My day was pretty laid back. I did get a lot accomplished today that I thought I wouldn't have. I cleaned my shower, sinks, bathroom and organized like a crazy woman! I sorted through the mounds of unopened mail. I packed away clothes that no longer fit my son. I finally put away all the Christmas decorations...in my defense they were put into boxes, just not put downstairs until today. I cleaned my house and laundered the sheets. Sheets cleaning are normally a weekly thing that doesn't get done every week! I finally can actually use my dinner table for dinner now. Or scrapbooking...that was my motive, to use it for scrapbooking.
My son and I took an extra long nap today. So did my husband.
I gave my husband his Valentine's day chocolates. He asked my not to spend anything on him, after the fact. Oh well, it's the holiday...we all deserve something, right. I got nothing. No suprise there.
I did do good and I got chocolate I won't eat. It's dark chocolate, I hate dark chocolate. I'm a good ol' milk chocolate girl.
My husband took my son on their now traditional Saturday Rollerblading. Kiddo loved it. I didn't go this time...I stayed home, blared the radio and cleaned house.
I hope you all had a good holiday. Or at least a nice productive, relaxed one.

Happy Thoughts

I was looking through some of my old old pictures today. I was attempting to organize a little bit. I saw a lot of old family Christmas's. The pictures and thoughts that came with them made me smile. I found school pictures that should be burned (horrible!what was I thinking!) And times of innocent fun, like when my oldest sister and cousin loved to play "dress up". Unfortunatly my sister, cousin and I were the dolls. We looked like country versions of Toddlers and Tairas! Of old friends and family. I realized that my childhood was great. I have a loving family and friends. What more can you ask for?
Now I'm really looking forward to our next scrapbooking weekend. I've got new ideas for old pictures.

Toilet Time!

Potty Training. Two words some parents fear. It's really a doubled edge sword. On one side it's a great thing, no more diapers. On the other, it's such a hassel and a long process and it means they are growing up! No longer your darlings in swaddling! They talk back to you, sing with you, laugh at you and with you at times, and they are so honest it's gutbusting funny.
Yesterday, my hubby and I were having a heated arguement and a few choice words slipped out. Well I happened to be on the phone with my Mom at the time and she heard it and laughed at what Kiddo said. Christian walked up to my husband and told him "Daddy your a B*****!" (female dog) and I laughed and so did Mom. It was funny. I had to tell Christian not to say those adult words. Big Boys don't say those words.
And Christian gets this comical look on his face when he passes gas. He always says "I farted, Mommy" and gets this happy comical face on right after. It's the honesty thing again. Makes me laugh all the time.
