Week in Review!

I feel like I haven't posted forever but it's only been like 3 days. I figured I'd fill you in on my week...

Here is the list I posted of what I would be doing this week on spring break with updates of how each went:

1.) Celebrate Josh's birthday (Which is Sunday): We did and it was a good one, you've probably seen my post
2.) Taxes: Hmmmm, somehow everyday I forget about this until about 9 or 10 at night and not something I want to start that late. But I will get them done some time this weekend... HOPEFULLY
3.) Clean: I cleaned the laundry room very nicely. It's a small room, but I wiped walls down and scrubbed the floor on my hands and knees so I was pretty proud of it. Plus we got our new washer and dryer and they are so AWESOME!!
4.) Watch UofL basketball: I watched them last Sunday and it was a sad, sad day. They didn't play well and lost so their season is over BUT the UofL women's team made it to the final four so I will be checking them out this weekend. It's the first time they have ever made it to the final four, so it's pretty cool!
5.) Clean: I got the dishes watched!!!
6.) Make important phone calls that can only be made during work hours that I never seem to be able to do at work: I did do this, I am now able to get to my bank account online again seeing how I had forgot my password and locked myself out, talked with a credit card company, talked to my doctor's office to figure out where I have to go Monday, and cancelled an order for something that I was supposed to get for free yet they continued to send them to me and charged me every time I got one after the first... Oh and I AM getting refunded for those I returned
7.) Clean: Bought a file cabinet and organized all of our papers and stuff!!!
8.) Go Couch shopping: We may go Saturday to look, but any purchases will have to wait until tax check comes in which should be motivating me to get those done!!
9.) Sleep a lot: YES I DID!!!!!!!
10.) Clean, Clean, Clean!!!!!!!!!!! Not as much cleaning is done yet, but tomorrow is another day and my plans are the rest of the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. It will get done!!!

Other things I did this week worth mentioning:
- Tuesday night I went and had dinner with an old friend of mine. We found each other on Myspace and Facebook, and have been chatting and catching up through there, and finally met up for dinner. It was a good dinner and so good to really sit down and talk with her!

- Wednesday I didn't do much except play on the computer. I get so easily addicted to those yahoo downloadable games. I just do the free download and play until it expires. It's a very bad addiction!!!!!
This is also the day I got the dishes done. And when I say dishes I mean there were a whole lot of dishes. I was once again holding out until Josh got tired of not having any clean plates and silver ware. But I realized this wasn't going to be an issue for him when he bought plastic silverware at Walmart the other day and when we got home he said he wished he would have gotten some paper plates. What can I say MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another reason I finally did them was because our landlords were supposed to be coming over to get their washer, but they didn't make it cause the guy needed help getting it in the truck and Josh ended up having to work late. Oh well, at least it made me finally get up and do them!!!!

- Thursday (today) I dyed my hair which was very much needed!! I gave up on the friend who told me she was going to check her schedule and let me know when she could do it for me like 2 and 1/2 weeks ago... I just went and got me a home kit and I must say I did a very good job!! No more grey for me, for now anyway!!!
Went to the pet store where my brother works to get flea medicine for the pets so that we don't get infested. About 30 seconds away it began to pour down rain. After waiting in my car in the parking lot for it to let up, I decided to just make a run for it. When I got inside, I played with the cute little puppies for a minute as my brother was with a customer, when the electricity decided to go out!!! It was out for about 5 minutes then came back on so it was alright.
Josh got home and we decided to go get burgers at WW Cousins an awesome Hamburger place in town. I'm not for sure if they are all over the place or not, but if you have one around you you should really visit the place cause it's some of the best burgers I've ever had! Before we went, we ran past the pet store again to drop something off to my brother and invited him to meet us for dinner. He had about 1/2 hour of work left so we went to Bed, Bath and Beyond while we waited for him. We got a few things, nothing important but I always like looking around that store at the things I wish I could have!!!!!!!! Dinner was delicious and very fun. We actually ended up seeing my Aunt and Uncle there so that was cool too!!

So it's been a great week so far, but coming to an end quickly. I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday! Nothing planned as of yet for the rest of the week, besides that cleaning I mentioned for tomorrow. I hope you all are having a great week as well! And I hope you all have a wonderful upcoming weekend!!!

19 Weeks Pregnant

In about 4 days I will be halfway through my pregnancy. That blows my mind. It seems like yesterday I was getting the phone call from the doctors office about being 2-3 weeks pregnant. Time has flown by. And I know... People keep telling me just wait until the last couple of months, it will be the longest of your life. Well, I guess we will see when we get there.

I have just been thinking about how lucky I have been through this pregnancy. Not one day of morning sickness. My headaches have been relieved apparently from the iron pills. The heartburn that I experience is no worse than it was before I became pregnant. Maybe more frequent, but nothing I haven't dealt with before. It has just been such a smooth run from the second I found out up to now. So I know that I have been very fortunate and lucky, especially with twins!

I just can't wait for them to be here. Sure there are SO MANY things that have to get done, but it will all work it self out. I know things are going to change for Josh and I. But I am good with that, we are going to be parents in about 4 months (or sooner) and we are just so ready mentally. I have been ready for so long. This is my dream come true.

I guess I'm just reflecting about this time, as I have spent so many years imagining about how it would be when I finally got to this point in my life. Wondering if I ever would get here. And now it's all a reality, and it's the best feeling in the world!

Birthday Boy

Yesterday was my awesome, amazing most wonderful husband's 32nd birthday! Unfortunately he had to work during the day. It gave me time to shop though!!! When he got home from work he wanted to open his presents:

Him opening the very sweet card!!!

He got a couple of outfits for me. Too bad it was freezing yesterday and couldn't wear his new shorts to dinner...

Zander thinking that this one has to be for him!!!

Excited for the new Bond movie! He is a Bond head!

These are headphones for him to wear when he is playing XBOX online. He was just like a kid when he opened this. So EXCITING!!!!!

Poor Zander... Where was his? I told you he is a very spoiled dog!!

After the excitement of the presents we met his parents at Outback. It was delicious and a wonderful time! Besides the fact that I ate way to much. I think this is what causes baby to go into the ribs. Or it's just cause I have filled myself up way to much and there's just nowhere else to go besides pushing on the ribs. But it was worth it. It has been a long time since I ate a steak. And we really just enjoyed chatting and conversing with the parents. It's always fun to listen to old stories and learn more about my husband in his young days!!!

When we came home my brother Wes came over to help Josh move the washer and dryer out of the house because we are getting new ones today!!!! Thanks to Jen and Jim for their awesome gift!!!
After they got those moved out, we celebrated more with a Cookie Cake... Josh likes them, but I'm not sure if it is his favorite kind of cake or not, but it sure is mine!!!

Cutting the cookie, He actually cut out his name to save until later... What a dork!

Wes and Zander hanging out!

After the huge dinner and the cookie cake it looked as though Josh wouldn't last much longer...

When Wes left, he was ready to watch his new movie, James Bond Quantum of Solace. While I enjoyed the last one, and was determined to watch the movie with him, I think I only lasted about 20 minutes and then was out on the loveseat. This morning he said that it was pretty good, just different from the other Bond movies.
He also thanked me for a wonderful birthday, so that is always good to hear, as I am always worried it just won't be very good. He told me it was one of the best!!

But I have to thank him for everything he does for me. Mostly love me the way he does. I am one lucky lady to have found this man, fallen in love with him, and have him fall in love with me. I wouldn't know what to do without him in my life. We've been together for 6 years, and I know it sounds cliche... but everyday gets better and better with him. I feel like I am the luckiest person in the world.
So again. I love you baby, and Happy Birthday! You are my everything!!!

My Boys Lost Today :(

My UofL Cardinals just lost. I'm not very happy right now. Very sad, actually! Oh well that's what happens I guess. Today is Josh's birthday, we are going to dinner with his parents later when he gets off from work. I will post again later with pics, hopefully, if I can find that darn battery charger!!

Share a Smile... FRIENDS addition

Ok, so I think I may have mentioned my FRIENDS addiction before on here, and if you know me, you know I believe this is the best show ever! I have all ten seasons on DVD, and when I am awake watch it in Reruns at 11:30 and 12. The show never gets old, and is able to make me laugh whatever kind of mood I'm in.

On the Seasons, they have the bloopers and from time to time I will pull them out and just watch the bloopers because they are so funny. If you don't have the season's you may not have gotten a chance to enjoy them so here they are!!! They are a little lengthy but I wish they would just keep going and going.

Hope they make you smile!!!! and laugh a bit (or a lot too) :D

Spring Break BABEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Spring Break Glitter Graphics


So it is finally Spring Break!!!! It's a good feeling to know that I do not have to go to work for 9 straight days, (actually 10, due to doc appointment)!!!!

I don't have too much planned... No traveling, no sight seeing, no beach :( But I'm really ok with it because there is lots to do here. Here is my list:
1.) Celebrate Josh's birthday (Which is Sunday)
2.) Taxes
3.) Clean
4.) Watch UofL basketball
5.) Clean
6.) Make important phone calls that can only be made during work hours that I never seem to be able to do at work
7.) Clean
8.) Go Couch shopping
9.) Sleep a lot
10.) Clean, Clean, Clean!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so maybe not to much to do, besides cleaning. But I feel really good about it. Everyone in my family is still going to have to work. Jen is going to Gatlinburg. Friends are going to Myrtle Beach.
So I will just be home for a week, and I have 9 full days ahead of me to get it done. I won't have to try and get it done all in one or two days. I can take my time and schedule out what I will do each day. Plus Josh and I went to Walmart last night and bought the cleaning supplies and bins to put all of our crap in, so we are off to a good start! Just having everything here will make it so much easier. I could start tonight, but I don't think that is going to happen. UofL plays in about an hour and a half, so I might go get a little bit of that sleeping in that I mentioned in my list!

I really am just excited to be off from work. those two crazy kids have been acting out again. One of them got suspended for bus and classroom behavior Thursday and Friday, but somehow he ended up being there Thursday and in class with me. When he showed up today I took him to the office and said I thought he was suspended. They told me to leave him there, and apparently they finally got someone to pick him up. Then the other one was doing his thing and I wrote a referral so I didn't see him the rest of the day today. We had a good day. Two of my kiddos have birthday's next week so we celebrated with a nacho party and cupcakes. So it was a good way to end the week.

Well I will probably be posting next week a bit more, since I will be home and I am addicted to my computer and this whole blogging thing!! Maybe I'll make a photo journal of what my house looks like now and after I get it cleaned up. Hope you all have a great weekend, and for those on vacation as well enjoy yourselves and relax. We all need and deserve it!!!
