Happy Birthday to ME!

That's right! I'm the big ol' 38 today.

Hmmm. 38. Do I like this number? I'm way too close to 40 now. Am I going to LIKE 40? Probably not LOL But, ehhh, what can you do about it? Not a thing! Nothing special planned today. Might treat us to a night out for supper so I don't have to cook. And I'll go get my usual chocolate swirl cheesecake for my treat tonight :) Gotta LOVE cheesecake!!

And tomorrow is New Years, which means Val, Doug, Jeff and Kelly will be here, Doug will have made is usual salmon dip, and we're heading to Karaoke. Good lord - this could be fun!

And it's over!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh - I pulled it off again! Another Christmas has successfully come and gone, the girls were totally happy with what they got (even tho Alyssa knew about 99% of what she was getting the little sneak LOL) and I didn't go into debt too badly LOL wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Other then the flu invading the household, it really was a perfect Christmas. I love this Holiday, more then anything else I think lol I could totally do without any gifts what so ever, just give me my Christmas trees, my decorations, my lights and my Christmas music.

Speaking of music - if you haven't picked up Sarah McLachalan's newest CD you must go get it now. Not your traditional Christmas stuff, but it's beautiful!

Well crap....

48 hours to the minute and now ALYSSA has the flu. Urrrrgh! PLEASE let it be as short lived as Megan's was. and PLEASE don't let me get it. My turn would be Christmas Eve. I don't need to be throwing up like a mad woman while trying to finish wrapping all the dang presents. Or while trying to cook Christmas dinner.

Not.good.at.all. I think I might cry now! lol

oh nooooooooooo!!!

It's happened. What I really didn't need to have happen. The FLU has hit here full force. Poor Megan! She's miserable. Beyond miserable I think. She can't stop throwing up :(

Thank god this is a fast moving virus. It SHOULD be gone in 48 hour or less. Should be. I wonder if I can over dose on Lysol? Because I'm following BOTH kids around with it at the moment LOL Lysol wipes, Lysol spray. EVERYTHING gets a blast of it, whatever the kids touch.

They aren't liking me right now LOL

I'm sad....

2 years ago at this time Tracy and I were planning our trip to the Dominican. We had our trip booked and paid for, had or passports done, and were trying to figure out what all we needed to pack. Organizing all the child care we needed. Dreaming about stepping off that plane on to exotic soil. Spending a glorious week ALONE. No kids, no responsibilities - just the two of us, sand, sun, booze (lol). I'm sad because we SHOULD be planning the exact same trip right now. But *sigh*, we are postponing it until NEXT year (2008) dammit.

It sucks being responsible. Really it does. lol

Another month gone!

Good grief where did November go? Another month gone, and I've done no work to this house lol No painting, wall papering, nada. *sigh* I mean well, honestly I do LOL But the days just seem to slip by and nothing gets done. I really thought that when I quit my job, I'd get all this stuff done.

Who was *I* kidding? LOL I need to win the lottery and then I could hire some people to come in and do it for me. Cute, muscular people. It would be fun to sit here and watch them work.

;)
