Well, I can barely move tonight as I type this, due to the fact that I forced my fat butt back to working out today. I feel that I have let myself go long enough without working out (since my son was born 10 months ago to be exact), and besides, people are starting to not believe me when I say that I just had him 3 weeks ago, since he can almost walk now. So I went to “Curves” during my lunch break today. The sad part of this story is that I have been paying for this membership for about a year now and have probably been a whopping total of 10 times. But, as with the other 10 times, I have promised myself that I will stick with it this time. You see my ultimate goal is to start running again…we’ll see if that happens. So I will now be dragging my sore sack of bones to bed now… tune in tomorrow to see if I actually go two days in a row.

It is common knowledge that when someone lets you (meaning your car) into their lane, you owe them the “courtesy wave,” just as you would expect this wave from them upon letting them over. This morning while I was on my way to work, an asshole motorist took it upon themselves, to not only decide for me that I would be letting them into my lane, almost causing me to wreck my car, but they then made a conscience decision not to give the courtesy wave. If I wasn’t already 15 minutes late for work (for reasons totally unrelated to the lane cutting incident) I would have followed this person for a good while, making sure to stay dangerously close to their bumper. I hate these people, they make me an angry, road raged driver.

Thank you unknown motorist, for starting my Monday out wonderfully.

Well, it is official, I have now passed along the stomach virus that my children had last week to everyone I know…my extended family, my friends and my co-workers. Everyone I speak to starts the converstaion out the same…“I hate you and your family…” I guess I cannot blame them, it is an awful virus, it starts with the watering of the mouth, although it hits everyone different. Here are some symptoms, so you know if you have it:

1. You feel like you have gas, but you end up crapping in your pants
2. You are throwing up and shooting water from your butt at the same time
3. You can not tell if you are peeing or crapping and you don’t care

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, chances are you have the dreaded Tushoobi Flu (flu name provided courtesy of my best friend Nadine). We believe that this flu originated from this tribe:

They are a Pygmy tribe from the tropical forests of Central Africa. Anyways, if you get this flu - good luck to you, and make sure you have plenty of laundry detergent on hand.

This is a picture of my best friend and my husband at our 10 year high school reunion. They are very drunk and are not doing a good job if hiding that fact!

Here we are a little over a week into the New Year, and same old story ~ both kids started the year out with another round of stomach viruses that spread like a wild fire throughout the household. The best part about this one is that it only seems to strike in the middle of the night, which is the best kind…there is nothing like having a 3 year old standing over you at 2:00 in the morning ready to vomit.

Ashton is really starting to get vocal, he says “mama” and “keykey” which is supposed to be “kitty-kitty”. Kaiden has been trying to get him to say her name, but after many failed attempts, informed me that she is going to let Ashton call her ma-ma too. So now, whenever he says ma-ma, Kaiden comes running from out of nowhere and says “I am here baby, what do you need?” - She is a nut!

We are getting extremly close to finalizing on the land we are building the house on. We did go ahead and purchase the plans to the house. To see the full floor plans and specs, click here.

If all goes well, we should have the plans into the city for approval this week, which takes about ten days to turn around and once approved we can order material and break ground. I know this is probably going to be a stressful next eight months, but I am really looking forward to having a say in everything that goes into the house. Well I hope that everyone had a great New Year. Talk to you soon.
