3:30 AM

Can't sleep again. Of course, I fell asleep around 8 PM, so maybe that explains why I am awake now!

I enjoyed a nice day off yesterday. I got my nails done. A nice HOT pink of course!!! I also went shopping and bought some new clothes from Old Navy and Victoria's Secret. I haven't had a chance to just go and hang out at one of the many malls alone yet. The kids and/or Mitch are always with me. No complaints there, it is just nice to have a girl day and only hit the stores I want. Although, when I shop with Mitch, I usually get way more stuff! : )

I am watching American Idol right now. The try-outs are getting old. Get to Hollywood already!

Now it is 10:49 PM and I can't sleep. I am pretty tired, but sleep won't come. So I am going to write a list.

Things That Make Me Happy:
Jesus
Mitch
the kids
Sierra
my new MacBook
the FRONT SEAT of the Suburban
my job
texting Mitch
my nieces
Fiji water
sleep
running
my OCD
Pete/Sue/Bob/George/Hope/Brian/Robert
Valentine's Day

Night night.

I am blogging on my brand new MacBook this morning!!! I love it! I have today off. Mitch and Sierra are sleeping in the bed next to me. Hopefully I will find a few minutes today to get my nails done. If not today, then I will get them done before work tomorrow. I have Wednesday off too! I definitely needed this 47 hour work week, as opposed to the 60 hour weeks I've been working.

I Am Alive!

I have just worked 120 hours in the last two weeks!!! Sooooo tired!

Hopefully I will be typing on my new macbook tomorrow! I think I deserve to spend a little of my hard-earned money on myself!!! Can't wait can't wait can't wait!

I love my job!!! I haven't been able to say that since leaving the preschool!

January 14, 2008

The kids and I are enjoying a nice day at home. Nothing notable to write about. I am tired and have kinda a short fuse today. I finished the crossword puzzle today in today's paper. I am not usually able to finish the whole thing. There will usually be an answer or two or five that I can't get, so I am feeling sorta smart.

Currently I am reading Galilio's Daughter by Dava Sobel. I am anxious to see Stephen King's The Mist.

Allison will be visiting soon, so I can't wait. We got some good news from Zach's gram last night, which is private, but it was what we were all praying about, so those who know, thanks for praying! Zach was one happy boy last night!!!

1/10/08

I jumped in the shower when I got home from work tonight. Sometimes that is the most perfect way to unwind. I almost feel like myself. I am just super busy with work right now. I love it but man, the hours away from home are substantial.

I have a funny story about my cousin's little boy. His mom is pregnant and having a baby girl, so she took the opportunity to show him his own ultrasound pics and he says, "Mom, please don't ever eat me again!" Then he talks to the baby and says he's sorry his mom ate it and gave his mom a long lecture about why you shouldn't eat babies!!! Then he brought the ultrasound pics to school for show and tell (he is in kindergarten) and told his class his mom ate a baby. Too cute!!!

The weather was so beautiful today. The sun was shining and I had the door opened. Pete and I sat outside at work today for almost an hour. It was a wonderful spring-like day. I was surprised at how much a warm sunny day can perk up my energy levels!

Kayla is at her friend Kristin's house. Zach is doing homework. Hayley is watching tv. I need to go get some jammies on.

Quiet Nite

Allison will be coming to visit in a few weeks. I can't wait to see her. Nothing exciting going on but I got a few quiet moments to blog. Haven't had a chance to do that in forever!

It was a very fine 60 degrees today!!! We have absolutely NO snow!!! The rest of New England has been hit pretty hard so I've heard! I love the coast of Rhode Island! I love working in Newport! Driving over the bridge when the sun is rising or setting is absolutely gorgeous!

Mitch and Zach had soccer tonight. I miss my guys!!!

I am so exhausted. I think I will call it a night. Pathetic that I get a minute to blog and I am too tired to write and don't have a lot to say. C'est la vie.

January 8, 2007

On January 6th, Mitch and I celebrated the anniversary of our 1st year together! Awww! I got roses and a very nice card with lots of mushy stuff inside.

In other news, I have been working like crazy. Lots of overtime and holiday pay! Yay! We need it.

The kids are great. They had great Christmases.
