My new addiction...

Okay, I will admit it---I am addicted to facebook! I resisted for soooo long...thought it was a "kid" thing, but I finally gave in and registered. And WOW-I have found so many long lost friends it is amazing!!!! It is great to be able to catch up and keep up with the friends from Faith and HHS! I do, however, find myself spending time looking around the 'net when I should be doing homework ;-)... Have to reign that in!

So last night was the TLS dinner auction, and it was a disaster (for me!). For the school, it looked like a great success! I was, unfortunately, outbid for our class scrapbook by a measly $13 (secret bid...I hate those!), scolded by bryan for trying to bid on the class quilt (I wouldn't have won, anyway), and lost the vacation package I wanted because bryan kept my "bid card..." Imagine, a 7 night stay in Orlanda that went for only $225......and I could have had it if Mr Stingy hadn't taken my card away.... Oh well, wait until he sees the vacation I book in replacement (hehehehehehe!!!!)! I'm thinking disney, on grounds....... Then to finish my night my dear mother called MAD that we weren't home yet (at 9pm). So we had to leave early (although I was signed up for clean-up duty!) and she didn't even speak when they left... Thought I was done with all of that drama after I hit 30 (LOL).

Today is bryan's birthday, so we are trying to make his day a great one. His "project" left over from yesterday is hanging our new storm door (with retracting shade!!! I love it!!!), but hopefully it won't take long. We're grilling outside for dinner, and the boys and I are making him a "hot dog" cake! If I can find a way, I'll post a picture....

Aside from that, it's the usual Sunday. Church, cleaning, laundry, homework (me and nick!). Looks like it will be a pretty day, so hopefully we can get outside some...Busy day!!!!

Ready for the weekend!

Yeah! It's Friday, and I'm off this weekend! Two whole days at home with my boys (all 3 of them!). Right now Zack is laying down under my desk with Leela (yep, no place for my feet!!) and Nick is "working" with his papers and pencils. We plan to do some cleaning, scrapbooking, reading, and catching up on schoolwork this weekend (for nick and mommy...). Zack has an icky cold that is making him feel tired and cranky, so we will be sticking close to home all weekend. We had a new evening project, which is following Nick's principal's blog...She and 15 others are re-enacting their father's march as WWII prisoners of war. This will be an interesting project, and great for the children to follow. Although Nick is a bit young to fully understand, I think that he will enjoy seeing everywhere Mrs Maurer goes. If I can figure it out, I will post the link for anyone else to follow...

Been a while....

since I've made a post. Things are busy here....really busy! The "situation" with Lola still hasn't been resolved-we go to court on February 4th to hear the man's plea. Tell me how someone who signed a confession can plead anything but guilty???!!! Anyway, on a much happier note, we have added a new member to our family-a sweet little female shepherd named Leela. The boys (and maggie!) love her, and it is helping them deal with the loss of our dear Lola. Nicholas is doing much better in school, and Zachary is growing by leaps and bounds everyday! School is still taking up much of my spare time, but I am finding moments to spend working on the TLS auction projects(coming up in March!!!). I have recently found myself in touch with some childhood friends, via "facebook." I thought it was a site for teenyboppers, but have happily been proven wrong. I love chatting with old friends from Faith, and from Woodson Terrace! It's great to see how we have all changed, but yet stayed the same....
