Well here it almost February already. Although are winter has been one of the better ones as far as weather we have ever had I am anxiously awaiting spring. I am getting the winter blues and I can't seem to shake them. The kids are going stir crazy as well due to being inside so much as of late. Which then they get to torture the Mom and they are doing quite a bit of that lately.
We have begun the planning for our Florida trip in March. Let's just say my sister really planned a horrible week to get married. Right over spring break can we say that everything just about doubles over those two weeks. Including the air fare. It is going to cost us $1,700 just for air fare, hotel and car. Guess we are not eating for the week. Not to mention have to pull the kids out of school and anyone who knows me, knows I am not a huge fan of them missing school. However, I really can use the vacation and am looking forward to enjoying so warm Florida weather and enjoying time with my husband and kids.
Getting ready to file taxes. Need to wait for one more W2 and we called and of course they are waiting until the 31st to mail it out. I know they can by law, by why not just get them done early for their employees sake. I can't wait to get that check it should be quite a good one. Wish I could just file already.
Okay well guess that is it for now baby screaming for mom's attention so guess that is my cue.

Okay so much for going to bed early last night I am pretty sure it was around 1:30 am before I got to sleep. UGH!!!
You know I always knew children could be cruel. I was also the target of the bullies when I went to elementary school. Somehow it hurts so much more when it is your child being the target and there is just nothing you can do to make it better. After karate last night, Colby and I are talking in the car and all of sudden he just bursts into tears. I get a little concerned and ask him what is wrong. Mom he says why do the kids hate me and pick on the kids that talk to me and make them not talk or play with me too. Okay so my heart aches for him because sadly there is just no easy answer. He does have one really good friend at school that he plays with every day Michaela (sp?) and I am so thankful for her. She doesn't care what anyone else says she has decided that Colby is here very good friend and sticks to her beliefs. Now that is friend all the way. I also tried to tell him when he goes to the new school next year there will be so many new kids that he can make friends with and get away from all of these bullies. Is answer what if there are even more bullies. I also told him that I didn't care what anyone said or did that I and his dad love him very much and no matter what always remember that. I always worry you hear all of these horror stories about the kids that get picked on in school and then commit suicide because of it. I don't think it will ever come to that but then again I don't think those other parents thought there children would do that either. Please I pray that next year gets better for him. He really is a sensitive boy. He comes across gruff but a lot of it comes out of frustration and sadness. I am also so thankful for his 2 other really good friends Dane and Luke. They really are nice boys.
Okay well needed to vent but I have to go now. Talk to you later.

Okay watching the Pats play last night was just not good for my system. My stomach hurt, I was all jittery. UGH!! THEY LOST!!! What is the joy in watching the superbowl now. I am very saddened by this.
Nothing really exciting to report. Busy day getting the twins momentarily. Have to go volunteer at the school today and yes I bring Rachel, Logan, and Brady with me. Rush to get homework and dinner done with the boys when they get home from school and then off to karate with Colby.
Hopefully a nice easy day because I am exhausted I feel like I haven't slept in a week. I had a rough night sleeping Saturday night and it really hit me like a ton of bricks today. So hoping against all hope that I am in bed by 9ish but realistically it will most likely be 10ish.
Okay well that is all for now.

Well yesterday I bundled the baby up and attempted to go play in the snow. Can anyone say COLD. I mean freezing your skin the minute you walk outside. *Sigh* We managed to give Brady a couple of rides in his new sled and I couldn't take it anymore, back inside I went. Brady seemed to love the ride, giggling at every turn. I even managed to snap two pictures, before my fingers froze off. Very disappointed that it was just too cold to play outside.
Then we went to Austin's basketball game at 6 pm. Once again they lost. However, Austin managed to jam his fingers with the ball quite badly. He seems hardly able to move his pointer finger. Really hoping he didn't break it. Will give it a few days to see if it improves, hard to tell at this point because it is really swollen.
It is so cold again today. I have to go grocery shopping too. I am just not looking forward to it at all. We are so bad skipped church today because I just couldn't get myself to get going very quickly this morning. The thought of going outside really was so unappealing. So I made muffins instead. Bad me, Bad me.
Colby is going ice skating this afternoon with his friend Luke. He is so excited. I was looking at him this morning he went through an enormous growth spurt overnight. I think he may be just about as tall as I am now. I am not sure where it came from, but really thrilled to see it. He was long overdue and he has really slimmed out a bit because of it. Scary to think that in just a few weeks, I will be the mother of a 10 year old. I am too young to have a child so old. LOL!!! Not really but I just wonder where time went. It seems like just yesterday that I was working full time and Rachael was pregnant with Dane and babysitting my little guy. He was so teeny tiny. Boy that didn't last long. Too think then I went on to have 2 more and who knows if we won't try for that fourth.
Okay enough rambling for today.

Well what a surprise to wake up to SNOW this morning. Was so excited!!!! even more so than the kids I would say. Got up around 7ish changed Brady and got him dressed and decided that I would make breakfeast for everyone. So I made coffee and chocolate chip pancakes, plain ones for the baby without the syrup of course. I made them a little bigger than sand dollar size and Brady ate four of them. I either thought he may explode or had a bottomless pit.
Well already paid some bills, took a shower. Ready to go except don't have anywhere to go at least not until later this afternoon for Austin's basketball game.
Maybe will go out and play in the snow with the boys in a little bit.
Have a great day.

Okay well as of Tuesday this week I took on another daycare child temporarily until June. He is not bad by any means but a third 2 year old certainly can't say it is quiet or boring around here. Then add an 8 month old into the mix makes for quite the interesting days.
Did I ever mention how much I really do not care for the age of 8 well it finally came to a head last night. Austin has been pushing Jeff and I's buttons for the last two weeks. Being rude, disrespectful, had to have the last word about anything and everything. Just down right miserable. I was begging to dread 3:45pm when I knew he would be getting off the bus because I knew a battle would soon ensue. Well he pushed it too far last night and Jeff who was at his breaking point really really yelled at him I mean he was scared. He would NEVER lay a hand on him but I think he put the fear of God in him because for the rest of the evening the old well behaved Austin was back. Hopefully the devil child is gone and my handsome, wonderful and funny Austin is back.
I am so excited Rachael if we can manage a time to get together may try and teach me how to digital scrap. So excited. You never turn down an offer like that when it is from someone like Rachael who has more talent in her pinky than anyone on the eastern seaboard. I know I am a suck up but the talant part really is true. She is so amazing.
okay off I go.
P.S. I want more snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to take the kids sledding in the worst way. Who ever thought living on the East Coast that we would have to beg for snow.

Well it has been quite the hectic past few days. On Wednesday I had to take Brady and Austin for there second series of flu shots and Colby for his asthma check. All went well and without a hitch. We then rushed home for homework and then to get Colby to karate. Well then came Thursday the baby woke up pretty sick nose running like a faucet, horrible cough. He didn't want to eat just wanted mom to rock him slept most of the day. Austin comes home from school some little degenerate at school rips and I mean rips his hood off his brand new coat he has had for a whole 2 weeks. Well I am so mad I call the school I call his teacher and well as the vice principal at the school. Friday comes Brady is even sicker now refuses his bottle, won't eat sleeps 20 hours of the day, nose and cough are just disgusting. Vice principal calls back about Ausin's coat turns out it was two boys involved in coat incident. They are made to write apology letters and parents will be contacted to be informed they will be responsible for paying to have coat sent to a tailor to have a new zipper sewn on his hood. Good I am thankful for the prompt attention and the solution works for me as well. Saturday I call the doctor for Brady as he is now running a 102 fever still will not eat or take a bottle. Turns out he has a cold (due to flu shot) and now has a double ear infection. Great!!! Go to pharmacy to fill prescription. Insurance denied WHAT!!! turns out Jeff's company switched insurance and didn't tell us. Great now all the doctor's appt's we have had were never covered under old insurance as of January 1st and I need to run around and call everyone with new insurance information when it arrives of course. Aaaargh. Have to call Tracy and see if she can bring Colby to karate as Jeff is working and I don't want to take Brady out. So she agrees and off they go. Jeff gets home and then Tracy, and I take Austin to Basketball where they sadly lose by a landslide. Today so thankful is uneventful Brady on the rebound and we skip church to let him recover. Now as I type this I am on pins and needles watching this patriots game. Well I guess that is all for now.
