Not alot to blog about...that is a good thing! =)
Mitch will be here around 5ish...he'll meet up with me at the center. I will hopefully be able to catch up with David and Karen after we leave the center. Zach wants Madison to go roller skating with us Friday night. And if Zach gets to bring Madison, then I get to bring Bailey!!! Mitch was friends with David. They went to high school together. Actually David was in Mitch's brother's class, so a few years older. Anyways...
I went tanning, paid some bills, got my drink, worked out and am now just waiting for the kids to get home and then off to work I go. I am doing some laundry and trying to ignore the fact that the living room could be straightened up.

2/26/07
I am so tired today. I think the craziness of this weekend is finally catching up to me. The kids and I are thoroughly addicted to Dance Dance Revolution. I use the work-out mode and it saves how many calories you've burned and how many miles you've danced.
I have no idea what we're going to have for supper. I think I am going to take the kids out to eat. Tonight is the first night with all of them back. Plus we haven't celebrated Kayla's birthday yet. Or better yet, maybe we'll order in and I'll just go to bed early.
My doggy is so happy to have her family all home again. She is resting comfortably in peaceful bliss.
I hope Iona is having a wonderful time in Florida.

Private No More
I couldn't handle the massive amount of email requests I had for permission to read my blog. Unfortnately to stop the one person I don't want reading about my life and my children's lives, I had to block all of you. So thank you to everyone who reads and replies and cares about my little piece of the world. Mitch and I are calling it the Great Blog Debacle of 2007!
Soooooo anyway, to catch everyone up, the kids and I are healthy and great! Mitch and I took Kayla to my sister's in CT and she's been there all week. She comes back today. Zach has been with his gram and Hayley was with my brother and sister-inb-law all week until she quit! So she came back to me Thursday night.
We went roller skating Friday night. 6-11 PM! Quite the work-out! Skiing yesterday 10-4! Another work-out! And then last night, we had a dance off at the house playing Dance Dance Revolution! The kids can't beat me!!! I LOVE this game! Not too bad for an old lady like me!!! =)
I have lots of cute pics to post, so I will probably get to that today at some point. Missed you all!!!

I'm back! Been a busy few days for me. Been out of town.
I had a talk with Brian last night. I told him the news. He's happy for me.
Today is Happy Wednesday! =)
I can't believe February is almost over! Crazy!
I need my latte.

Happy 16th Everyone!
I hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine's Day! Mine was the best ever. I got my Dooney & Bourke purse! And a lovely rose topaz and diamond ring to match my pink nails that he was a doll to sit thru, patiently holding my bags and jacket! I got more flowers and chocolates and a dancing frog that sings "You're Unbelievable". A beautiful card that was just amazing. Dinner out and a movie. Just a romantic night all around. We agreed it was the perfedt 1st Valentine's ever because the greatest gift we agreed was each other! Awwwwwww!!!
He loved his iPod. And his book. And his card.
He loved meeting Carl and Iona. Next week, I think we're gonna try to get to Ellsworth to visit Lynette. Her dad passed away this week and my heart is just breaking for her. Mitch and I were going to the wake on Valentine's night. He was so sweet about it. "Jenn, if you need to be there, then let's just go." So we got there, but because of the bad storm, it looked like it may have been postponed. Lynette would have been driving from Ellsworth with the baby, so it didn't surprise me.
Since we were in town, we decided to try the movies and see if they were open...they were and we saw Music and Lyrics with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.
Zachie leaves today for the week. He is excited about spending the week with his grandparent's. He and I had a long talk and he asked if I would stop making him feel guilty about being excited about spending vacations away. Not what I was TRYING to do, I made sure he knew that. When I say, "Zach, I am going to miss you and I wish we had some vacations together," that is me being honest and not trying to make him feel guilty, but it DOES make him feel that way and so I will just keep those thoughts to myself, I guess. I love that he loves spending time with his grandmother. I know how much she loves him. it's just that he's going to be 13 in May. I am grateful he's been as huggy as he's been but I do know the teenage years will hit soon and I'll be lucky to get an occasional hug. I'm not ready for my baby to grow up and not need me. Okay..I need to change the subject...this one makes me sad.
Hayley will be at my brother's all week, helping out with the kids. She'll have a blast. She helps me out so much around the house. I miss her alot when she's not here. She is definitely the strength of the house. Zach is the comedy. Kayla is the sanity and Hayley is the muscle. When we got to the center last night, Mitch went out to shovel off the walkway and Hayley immediately grabbed the other shovel without being asked and went out to clean off the ramp and the steps. I didn't realize how much I draw from all three of them and their important roles in this family. When something needs to get done, Hayley has the attitude, "So we'll get it done. Not a problem." When I may over-readt about something, Kayla is like, "Why don't you try to look at things this way, Mom" and when I need a laugh or even when I don't need a laugh, I have Zach...constant with the jokes. And Mitch embodies all of those traits as well. I am so blessed.
Okay, I have to get to work. It is Friday and I'll be at the office with Carl and Iona!!! I'm sure good times will be had!

I am SOOOO Excited!!!
Okay, I can't wait! I am all done shopping for Valentine's Day! I promised not to write about his BIG gift because I really want that one to be a surprise for him...but I will share the surprise that I am most proud of...I got him a signed copy of a book authored by his favorite high school English teacher...it was not easy tracking down this book and even more difficult getting it signed! But I know he will appreciate the sentimental value of this because we were just talking about this man and how he affected each of our lives and Mitch said, "We should probably go visit him sometime. I'd like to track him down."
Yes, I am great! =)
Yes, I am great! =)

Today is the calm before the storm. We could get a LOT of snow tomorrow and Thursday. We're hoping the worst of it happens tomorrow night, which it is looking like what will happen, so we'll be all cozied up together with neither of us driving.
I have a few errands to do today. Tanning and my latte are among those! I also have to run and pick up someone's V-Day present. I can't say what it is yet in case he is snooping! =) He'll find out tomorrow!!! I already know what I am getting! He was like, "You've known all along, haven't you?" I can't help it!
Allison and I are going to Sara's cheering competition on Saturday. That should be fun. We'll go out to eat after.
I am so ready for spring! Tanya said this weekend, it is supposed to be in the 60's in Oregon! That is so not fair. I want to sit in the sun and open up all of my windows and can you believe March will be here in 2 weeks? Next week, the kids are on vacation. I have a 3 day weekend. Yay! Zach will be with his grandparents all week. Hayley will be with my brother and sister-in-law all week, helping out with their two kids, and so it'll just be Kayla and I and Shannon, of course. I'll probably take a day off from work and go skiing with the girls.
Kayla's birthday is the 24th. She will be 18 next year! One down, two to go! Hayley will be 18 in 2 years and Zach will be 18 in 5! The good news about having my children young in life is that I've had the energy to enjoy them and I am still young enough to have some kind of life before I get too old. Teaching 8th grade and owning the preschool will definitely keep me young at heart, even when I am older. Plus I'll have plenty of time to work on my doctorate in English and then be an English professor where I will finish out my days. I'll also have time to write more! Not just blog but actually write and submit articles like I used to!
Life is so good and all praise goes to God.
Current Mood: I am still very very happy! And excited about tomorrow!!!

Sunday
I am watching The Night Listener right now. Cody and Lexi spent the night last night. Lexi slept with Auntie Jenn, which meant I had NO ROOM and NO COVERS!!! She played with the stuffed bear and stuffed dog that Mitch bought me a few weeks ago. One under each arm.
I have church tonight. I am looking forward to it. I had such a fun lunch with Debi yesterday.
I slept in this morning and Mitch called to wish me a good morning. Lexi and I had a date to get my latte. We went to the grocery store after and ran a few errands. She is going to a Rick Charette and the Bubble Gum Band concert this afternoon. She is super excited. My house is finally clean and I am going to kick back for a few hours before I have to leave to get Allison for church.
I can't wait until Valentine's Day! =) We are going to have so much fun.

Lunch with Debi was a blast...as always! I am so glad we had a chance to hang out. We definitely needed to reconnect, spending a couple hours talking over lunch.
I am waiting for my handsome man to call.
I discovered that I can choose what posts to make public and which ones to make private...and I can let my friends read the private ones...so I may be doing that in the near future. Basically, I think what will show up on the blog are the benign ones about my life and the ones that won't will be the juicy ones about my personal life and will only be able to be viewed by my friends and Mitch and I. Apparently the memo about me being able to SEE the location of every computer that logs onto my page via my site meter wasn't clear.
Anyway, that was my day. I bought some new books and a new keychain. Talked to Andrea for a bit on the phone. Now I am going to read and wait for my call! =)

We had a great "weekend"! Mitch left about 6:30 tonight. He went to the center with me for a few hours, after we picked up Zach at school. He and Zach went to Airport Mall for a little bit and talked about sports and "stuff." Lindsey thought he was great and said that we look cute together!
Church last night was great. Ken will have something to say on Sunday, I am sure! =) So pretty much Mitch has met all my friends. Except for Eric and Erin. We spent about an hour on campus and he showed me where he used to live and I took him to where I used to live. He met Lori and Katherine and even Jim.
We were shopping in Abercrombie and the girl came up to us and was like, "So are you guys excited about spring break?" and I was like, "Ummmm...yeah, we would be if we were still in college!" I know we look young, but I think we DO look older than college students! Anyway, it was another romantic-filled two days. Valentine's Day is next Wednesday! I can't wait. Yesterday he gave me a picture frame with our Bob Seger tickets mounted in it! Awwwwwwww! So so so sweet! And another box of I Luv U chocolates because Zach ate the last one. He wrote on it, "Do Not Eat...Not even the I." because "I" was the letter Zach started with because Mitch told him he could eat the "I"...
Saturday, Debi and I are going shopping and out to lunch. She has been working a lot of hours and it will be good spend some time together.
Okay, I am going to get my jammies on and settle in. I should be getting a phone call around 9!

Febrary 6, 2007
I think I am going to blog twice today! Remember when I used to be able to blog a couple of times a day?
Not enough hours in the day!!! Things should be busy at the center tonight. I'm looking forward to it. I don't know how many of my own children will be working with me tonight. I went grocery shopping today, so they may opt to stay home and eat all the food! I made some more yummy chex mix for them while they were in school. It'll be all gone by tomorrow, I am sure. They love that stuff and it only takes about 10 mintues. Anything for my babies! It is fun doing stuff for them because they appreciate it.
Movie night last night was great! As always! Mitch and I watched Dogma. I've seen it a million times. One of my favorites, for two reasons...one, because it is funny, and two because I was raised Catholic.
Tanning of course was so totally relaxing. I am officially dark again after taking 3 months off. Kayla's new package doesn't start until Friday! She's anxious to start and get ready for our April vacation. She is one of those people that is DARK after like 3 visits. She is absolutely gorgeous, with her blond naturally curly hair (which she spends a ton of time straightening) her blue eyes and dark skin.
Tonight after work, I have to go back to the grocery store to get all the items I forgot when I was there, I have to run to the pet store to buy Sierra's dog food. It's expensive but well worth it because she'll live longer and because it is healthier, she isn't as hungry as often, and she absorbs more of it...the vet said that pretty much buying a bag of grocery store food is the equivilent of taking my kids to McDonald's for every meal.
Okay, I have to go get my children. Last night, my almost 13 year old son said, "Do you know the song Cherry Pie?"
Me: Yes, Zach.
Zach: Did you know that it really isn't about Cherry Pie?

Happy Birthday Darren!
Myspace is being a dink this morning, so thank goodness Alexander Graham Bell is more reliable...messenger too! We didn't want to miss our morning chat! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!
It is my brother's birthday today! Love you! The kids and I will probably take him and my niece Gabby to dinner Saturday.
Almost latte time. Sierra and I would be going for our morning jog if it wasn't so dang cold! She's napping on my feet like usual.
I have to straighten things up around here. Go tanning. Go grocery shopping. Pick up the kids. Go to work for a few hours. Come home to my nightly phone call.
Ooooohohhhhhh...I get to wear my new shoes/sneakers/boots today...I can't decide which pair I'll wear! I bought new Nikes to run in, some awesome new black leather high-heeled boots and some new shoes that are just regular shoes. I think I'll wear the sneakers today...break them in a little. I went shopping last night. Can you tell? =)

Amazed!
I was reading over some posts from even as early back as December and I was still in my little Brian bubble! All of that so pales in comparison to what lies in my future!
Me & Bailey
This is my favorite pic of Bailey and her Jennifer. It was the day after Easter and she wanted her picture taken with Sammi's new Easter bunny...only she wanted it to look like she was SLEEPING...I think her grin gives her away! =) Bailey and stealth are not synonymous! She also has a maniacal giggle that gives us away everytime during flashlight hide and seek!
Bailey & Baxter
When I brought Bailey's new kitten to the preschool to give her! Look at Baxter's smiling face!!! Bailey was SO excited on this day. There was no way she was taking a nap!!!
Happy Sunday!
I woke up in a pretty great mood today. The kids have had a nice weekend kicking back around the house. We haven't done that for awhile. We're always on the go and so it is nice to just sit around and play video games and watch movies. Shannon and Andrew are trying to beat Guitar Hero II along with Zach, Kayla, Hayley and myself. I think my fingers are going to be permanently damaged after this weekend! It reminds me of a few years ago, when Shannon and Desaraye were both living here and we had a Grand Theft Auto weekend. The kids refused to let me play after driving with me to go get my coffee. Let's just say the game encourages road rage!
Yesterday, I spent some of the day reading my Bible. I hate to admit that I've been veering off my reading schedule, but I got back on track yesterday. And yes, I have read it in its entirety, but I like to be in the Word at least a little each day, to keep me off of any emotional roller coasters that may come my way! It keeps me grounded and reminded about what is most important. Being a good and available mom for my children, spending time with the Lord and of course, working on my new relationship with Mitch and maintaining the ones I have with my friends. The rest of the story isn't so important. That is all in the Lord's hands. Finances, work, the *Plan* when my contract runs out in August...it will all work out.
It was so funny last night. I spent most of the day figuring out how I was going to tell him that I am missing being at church on Wednesday nights and I didn't even have to! He started the conversation out asking if we could go to church Wednesday night. I don't know why I was surprised. Mitch seems to know what I am thinking, when I am thinking it. We are so very lucky and we both know it.
Today is laundry day! I washed the bathroom floor. Hayley did the dishes. Last night, while I was on the phone, Zach finished up his video game that he played ALL DAY LONG and lit my candles, made me a cup of tea and left me to relax, with a "Night, Mom"...then when I got off the phone at about 10:30, Shannon, Zach and Hayley couldn't resist coming down to battle it out with Guitar Hero again! I don't know how they are going to get thru school tomorrow!!! Kayla stayed in her room most of the day, reading! She read two books yesterday. She finished My Sister's Keeper, that I wanted her to read, and then read another whole one in just that one day! She was mad about how My Sister's Keeper ended! I was too, after I had read it!
I have a sleepy dog curled up next to me! Her birthday is next month! My baby is going to be 4! She is such a perfect dog. Of course, a very well-trained dog IS a perfect dog! Nothing ruins a dog more than one that isn't managed. I am so proud of her! She even lets the cats eat out of her dog dish WITH her! Such a sweet disposition and she is just so happy to have a mommy that loves her to pieces. She does growl whenever the phone rings and it's Mitch. She'll move off of the couch and go sit on the love seat and whine LOUDLY when she hears his voice! He was like, "Is that the dog?" YUP! And she only does that when he calls! Way too funny!
Current Mood: blissfully happy
Current Music: Something in the Way She Moves..............James Taylor.........guess who's coming to Mass August 24th??? Hopefully we can score some great James Taylor seats!

Last night, while I was on the phone, Zach finished up his video game that he played ALL DAY LONG and lit my candles, made me a cup of tea and left me to relax, with a "Night, Mom"...then when I got off the phone at about 10:30, Shannon, Zach and Hayley couldn't resist coming down to battle it out with Guitar Hero again! I don't know how they are going to get thru school tomorrow!!! Kayla stayed in her room most of the day, reading! She read two books yesterday. She finished My Sister's Keeper, that I wanted her to read, and then read another whole one in just that one day! She was mad about how My Sister's Keeper ended! I was too, after I had read it!
I have a sleepy dog curled up next to me! Her birthday is next month! My baby is going to be 4! She is such a perfect dog. Of course, a very well-trained dog IS a perfect dog! Nothing ruins a dog more than one that isn't managed. I am so proud of her! She even lets the cats eat out of her dog dish WITH her! Such a sweet disposition and she is just so happy to have a mommy that loves her to pieces. She does growl whenever the phone rings and it's Mitch. She'll move off of the couch and go sit on the love seat and whine LOUDLY when she hears his voice! He was like, "Is that the dog?" YUP! And she only does that when he calls! Way too funny!
Current Mood: blissfully happy
Current Music: Something in the Way She Moves..............James Taylor.........guess who's coming to Mass August 24th??? Hopefully we can score some great James Taylor seats!

2/3/2007
A pretty lazy Saturday today. Zach and his best friend Dakota have been playing video games for most of the day. I went next door for a bit and visited with my neighbors. I also pimped my myspace again. Now I am going to do some laundry and continue to relax, I guess. Maybe go take a hot bubble bath!
I can't wait until Wednesday! =)
Current Mood: very happy
Current Music: Your Smiling Face...............James Taylor

I Know!
I know I haven't blogged since Tuesday! Erin, my last blog was about your blog regarding Ricia! LOL! Too funny! Mitch and I died laughing about that! And you're right Eric, the more you think about it, the funnier it gets! =)
So I went shopping tonight. Spent way too much money on video games for Zachie! Like $220 worth! But he had a blast tonight playing them! And I am "like the coolest Mom EVER!" according to Zach attack.
It is snowing now. I just heard the snowplow.
Bob Seger was great! Worcester was great! We had so much fun and found a new way to score great seats! We moved into better ones and every time the guy with the flashlight came to check everyone's tickets, I was like, "Kiss me!" and so the guy never came to check our tickets because we'd be making out! Then when he was off getting me a glass of wine, flashlight guy came over and asked to see everyone's tickets and of course, Mitch had mine in his pocket with him, and the guy just looked at me and smiled and never asked to see my ticket! =) We got to sit there the entire concert! It was officially the greatest concert ever! He bought me the sweetest daisies again! Awwwwww! And some I Luv U chocolates! It was a fun two days.
Lots of fun and exciting details that I may share with blogworld at a later date when this blog isn't so very popular!
I am also Eric and Erin's Best Man in their upcoming wedding! I am so excited! Hopefully we'll get a chance to discuss things tomorrow when I come visit you guys...depending on the weather! I'm not sure how much snow we were getting.
Nothing else to report! I have reports to write for the lovely gov't job that I hold in my free moments this weekend because the internet has been compromised at work. Not sure but it has been *fixed* like 3 times...the city needs to employ some better techs if this is the best we can do. I HAVE to get the reports done...it would be nice to do that while at work!
I had a great talk with Lindsey at work last night and today talked most of the day with Jamie. We had lots to talk about! =) I am soooooo happy!
Okay, time for bed. Busy day tomorrow, I am sure. And a very very very important phone call tomorrow afternoon and again tomorrow night! Free cellphone minutes on the weekends! Yay!
