Updates...

Wow!  Has it really been almost three months since I've posted?!  I guess life got in the way like it always does!  Since I've last posted....

• I graduated and recieved my certificate in phlebotomy (blood drawing) -yay me!
• LKS graduated from her program and recieved her degree - yay LKS!
•  We've had 4 visits from family
• My house got really messy (okay, it's always been messy, lol)



Lots more has happened, but I can't think of it all right now.  The kids and I just returned from a LONG, fun, LONG, exciting, did I mention LONG, weekend in Pennsylvania at Blue Knob State Park on Monday.  Me and my kids; Leah, Gene and Sarah; Matthew, Taya, and their kids; Dad and Kay; Gramma Baldwin; and Mom and Tim all went camping together.  Yup, two sets of divorced and remarried parents who hadn't seen eachother in oh.....eight years or so, and my Dad and Kay, and Gramma, had NEVER met Tim.  Considering that fact (yikes!), it was a really fun time and I'm so glad we went.  The kids all got a chance to hang out together, and mommy had a chance to relax and not worry about both boys 24-7.  Yes, there were many awkward moments, but isn't life all about those awkward moments? 

No??  Oh. 

Oh, well....lol!

So now that I have mountains and MOUNTAINS (there literally is a mountain of clothes right now in my laundry room!) of laundry to do, what did I decide to do instead?  fart around on the computer, yeah!  That's a good idea.  Maybe not.  I hear the laundry calling my name.  I think it's actually starting to creep out of the laundry room, slowly so I won't notice of course, and wind itself around my legs.  Ok, laundry, OK!  I'm COMING!  Sheesh, that laundry is impatient.  Alright, blogging can wait, back to real life. 

No fun.  But here's some fun pictures!  And oh yeah, I turned 29 again-hah!

The list

So I'm sitting here very, very bored. I never realized how little there is to do at my house. I think the neighbors just called the cops on themselves, but I can't be nosy without anyone seeing me - no fun! The Schwann's man never came tonight, I am a little upset, I was really looking forward to getting me some peach frozen yogurt darnit! OK, so, I'm bored, and haven't had REAL adult conversation today, so you're gonna have to bear with me here. Here are 25 random thoughts.

1) Kenny Chesney music either makes me really sad, or very sentimental. I don't know if there's a difference between the two.
2) I really miss Adam. Duh, I guess that's a given. But it still surprises me how MUCH I miss him.
3) I can't WAIT for Give Parents a Break on Saturday. I also can't WAIT to take the boys to Monster Jam in Raleigh on Friday night! Does that mean I'm trailer trash if I like Monster Jam? Oh, well, who cares, I'm a cool mom :)
4) There are now 2 cop cars outside my house....um....should I be worried...???
5) I miss my family in NY.
6) I wonder what my dad and Kay are doing right now.
7) I REALLY want to open the window and spy.....grr
8) I have NO LIFE if all I want to do is spy on the neighbors!
9) I wonder what the stupidest thing ever googled was.
10) Maybe I'll take the garbage out as an excuse to see what is going on out there.....lol.
11) Crap I forgot to shut the garage door. Excuse to go outside! Woo-hoo! Be right back.
12) Boo. Nothing interesting.
13) Ok, this list sucks.
14) I think I'm going to bed.
25) Good night!

The end.

Homeschooling

OK, so I thought this was too hilarious to not pass on, lol. This is for you Matthew and Taya! See you next week!
