First day of school

Nothing like jumping right into things. First night of school and we go right for the jugular: Kinesiology. Hmm, one of the major reasons I didn't go into this profession back 13 years ago at the university. Bring it on! My mind is full right now, but it's not overwhelming YET. lol I love my instructor, she created the program for the school. Very hands on oriented. Just my way of learning. Tomorrow we meet the other instructor. I'm sure if they work this closely together, than she has to be pretty cool to. I'm happy I'm doing this and I think that in itself is a big step.

I'm still not happy about the mid-term on July 5th though. I made sure and told her that. lmao She proceded to tell me it was open book. lol A little better, but still, come on!

Longest Yard

Hubby and I went and watched it on opening night. It was even better than I thought it would be. There were so many names. We were really excited to see 3 of our favorite wrestlers in it. They haven't been around for over a year. Well, Stone Cold has been, but not Goldberg or Big Daddy Cool! Those guys are so HOT! It was great to get out with hubby and throw a few beers back, then go to the movies. We had a great ADULT conversation time. Talking about nothing in particular. lol We so need more days like this! Life is just so complicated once you have to be parents. ARGHHHHHHH!

Movie Memes,

got hit by my buddies Chrissie and Retta, but my problem is I don't know any other bloggers to pass it to but you guys! lol


1) Total number of films I own on DVD/video: I'm addicted to buying the previously viewed from hollywood video now. But, I'm curbing the addiction well. We only own 77ish. Not sure what the neighbors have borrowed, or what's in the kids rooms. lol

2) The last film I bought: ladder 49 for hubby

3) The last film I watched: Metallica "some kind of monster" Will be adding it to my collection tomorrow!

4) Five films that I watch a lot or that mean a lot to me (in no particular order):)

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
XXX
Fast and the Furious
What about Bob?
Chronicles of Riddick (I know, there's a definite pattern there. lol)

5) Tag 5 people to post this in their blog journal: K, i've thought and thought, but I don't have anyone to hit with this:(

School Orientation

Well, I went tonight for my orientation. I don't feel old and dumpy anymore. There was way worse than me there. I know I will be fit as a fiddle by this time next year, not sure about some of the others. lol But, that's being pretty judgemental, so I suck. My bad. I have a mid-term on July 5th. That is going to seriously cut into my beer drinking that weekend:( We are going over to spend the weekend with my in-laws. I haven't partied with Mom in many months. I miss her! I guess I will have to study hard during the day. Mom won't let me not drink with her. lol Did I mention I miss my mother-in-law? Oh, I guess I did. I know, I'm a freak we are good friends. But, hey next time marry into the right family :) roflmao

To work or not?

This is the question. One of the girls owes me for working this weekend on 2 of my days off. My dilemma is: Take a day off and get some stuff done around here, or make as much money as possible since I will be going back to school next week and on a limited work schedule. What to do, what to do? Tuesdays are usually so slow there.

working on website

Boy am I going to be sorry tomorrow. I'm up way to late looking at this code. But, I'm on a roll. 2 pages of new products added. Woohoo! I'll post when I have them uploaded to the host. Thankfully hubby is home in the morning and can get up to make the kids breakfast. My sugar free red bull is waiting in the fridge for my sorry butt.

Star Wars Rocked!

I'm so ready to go and see it again! Back to old school wars. Great opening fighter scene. Great saber action, less mushy crappy love gunk. They took that way to far in #2. There are some graphic spots and the movie is very dark. But hey, we knew it would be. Did you not see #4? Duh, we know that everyone dies. If you are going to take your kids than I recommend reading this article. It has a couple of very slight spoilers, but if you're a true star wars fan then you knew what was coming anyway. This gave me a great heads up on what to warn my kids about and when I needed to throw my hands up over their eyes. lol All in all, no bad dreams yet and they both fell fast asleep.

I hope my brother sees it soon. I'm dieing to talk to someone about it! lol I think I need to go back and see it again next week by myself! It was sad at the end knowing there won't ever be another one made:( Can't Han and Leia have kids we watch, how about Luke's kids go bad and take over the universe? Come on, give us more!

Off to see star wars

first thing in the morning. I waited way to long to get tickets to the midnight show tonight. So bummed. But the kids will play hooky from school in the morning and we'll be there bright and early! I so can't wait. Bummed that it's the last one:( I will of course give my opinion on it tomorrow!

Won a contest

So I subscribed to this cool websites update newsletter, and I won. Then I got a few choices of what I wanted. Hmm, hard decision, but I'll go with the Mango Body Butter. I've been going tanning and it's good for after that. I get it in the mail and opened it at work. I ran around making everyone use it. lol I was so hungry for a smoothie. It smells exactly like Mangos. We have mangos for our smoothies at work, so I know this for fact. And the texture...to die for. Usually body butters are waxy, but not this. It was like putting my fingers into a jar of whipped butter. Goes on smooth and feels silky. It doesn't wash off immediately like some other products do. I can't wait to order some more products from her. She's made a major customer! Pamper yourself Mom! www.bathandbodycorner.com

And the rain, rain, rain

came down, down, down in rushing rising rivelets. Typical Washington weather this weekend and for the whole week I guess. Nothing to do but clean the house I guess. I can see my weeds getting taller and taller, but atleast I have a good excuse for not digging them up right now. lol

Yesterdays luck was just as bad as Fridays. With the exception that the kids acted worse than ever. I was very ready to sell them off to the lowest bidder! It was one of those days that you are glad you have to go to work. Let Daddy deal with the hellions. lmao But today, they are totally different kids. They even helped each other clean their rooms before we woke up this morning. I guess the aliens must have come and switched them out for us overnight. Thanks guys! :)

Retail therapy

I was in serious need of the new retail therapy I've learned from my best friend. But alas, it didn't work. I only had time to go to one store and there was nothing for me. I got a pair of denim capris and a tshirt. :( But I found a ton for the rest of the family. So now my therapy will have to be moved to the mall. I'm also scheduling a day at the salon next week. I think my ear is infected from my new piercing too.

I always have great luck on Friday the 13th, but today sucks! I've had little thing upon little thing go wrong today. This is always my favorite day. My favorite/lucky number is 13. It's a no good, very bad, awful day. I'm off to eat some worms. Worms from the tequila that is!

Mother's quiz

Ok, sorry if it's getting tiring. But, I've been going through blogexplosion so much and finding tons of info. So here's a cute and timely quiz to take. Loved my results!

You're a girl power mommy! You love to be girly,
but you're no pushover. Your kids are learning
that gender differences don't have to mean
gender inequality. You've taken back pink, and
you don't care who knows it!


What kind of a freaky mother are you?

Mother's Day!

Wow, my family surprised the hell out of me. I got a pearl necklace and earrings. Not to mention the tanning gift certificate. They had me in tears. It was completely unexpected as I'm not the jewelry "girly" kind of woman. lol I love them and I can't wait to wear them with my jeans tomorrow;) rofl I went tanning and then grabbed movies. Then we spent the day eating nachos made with homemade chili and watching movies while I scrapbooked. Heaven to me! Now to come up with something tremendous for Father's Day. Any suggestions?

Fun quiz

I really liked this quiz. It seemed closer than the normal boxed quiz to. :) Let me know what you think.

You're One Hundred Years of Solitude!

by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Lonely and struggling, you've been around for a very long time.
Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet there
is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life all
the more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.

School?

Well, I'm excited. I met with the admin rep and it definitely looks like something I want to do. Now I will be meeting with the financial aid people Monday to see if it will work. We can fund this so this is our only obstacle. Poor credit:( Price we've paid for me to stay home with the kids most of their early years. Oh well, it was worth it. I will post more next week. I don't want to jinx anything by posting early.

We had a great BBQ with my parents this afternoon. My daughter made the salads and my son cleaned the bathroom. Hubby cleaned up the kitchen and oversaw it all. What a family! Plan for tomorrow is all day movie marathon or possibly going for a bike ride if the weather clears up. Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

Enough on the plate? NAH

K, since working 30 hours a week and having control of the house and finances isn't enough...I'm contemplating going back to school. I've been in this place before thinking I need to go get a degree. But tomorrow I'm actually meeting with an admissions rep. After I make a decision I will post. I'm pretty sure I will be going, but making it work is another matter. 40 hours of class time and another 22 of work just overwhelms my mind right now!

Birthdate

I found this post on Girl Pants and just had to follow the link. Nothing surrounding my birthday is ever correct. I must have been born late or something. Give it a try and let me know if it's closer for you.

Your Birthdate: February 4

Being born on the 4th day of the month should help make you a better manager and organizer. You may be more responsible and self-disciplined than you realize. Sincere and honest, you are a serious and hard working individual. Your feelings are likely to seem somewhat repressed at times. The number 4 has something of an inhibiting effect on your ability to show and express affections, as feeling are very closely regulated and controlled. You are apt to be much more practical, rational, and conscious of details. There is a good deal of rigidity and stubbornness associated with the number 4.

Cleaning bug

I'm so happy it's here. I've got the cleaning bug. Our friends will be here in minutes so I will have to quit, that doesn't make me to happy. But, I've cleaned off lot's of counter space and even used 409 on them. Nothing like chemicals to make everything sparkly! lol

So, tonight I'm hoping to keep up the cleaning. My mom is coming twice a month to do the bathrooms, vacuum, mop and other odds and ends I never seem to get to. I'm so happy about this. She wants the extra cash and with my working 5 days a week, going to the gym and also working on my sites the house is becoming a disgrace.

Cheer's to spring fever!
