This year seems to have flown by. I can’t believe it. I need to get my butt in gear and get my shopping finished. Any ideas for my Uber Geek husband? Maybe I’ll get him a trenchcoat to keep all his electronic gadgets in. Go Go Gadget! Email me if you have sugestions!
Happy Thanksgiving
I meant to post this sooner but got busy. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and ate lots and lots of yummy food and spent time with family and friends.
Max just cashed in one of his lives today
Max, or Maximus as he is affectionately called (he’s fat), just used up a life today. I think this puts him at having only 5 or 6 left. Back in the spring I had my knee surgery and my knee still isn’t at 100%. It always gets sore before it rains. (I should be a meterologist!) Today it’s sore and I have a bajillion things I need to do this morning. I put brownies in the oven to take to our monthly MOMS club meeting and then was trying to herd Sara upstairs to get dressed so we could get out the door on time. Max likes to sleep on the stairs. Usually when he sees/hears someone coming, he’ll get up and move. This morning he heard me coming, opened one eye, gave me cattitude then proceeded to stretch his big ass body across the entire step causing me to miss-step and twist my knee. Pain shot through my knee and I bit my lip so Sara wouldn’t here a fountain of cuss words pouring out of my mouth. &$@!&^#^!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, we got dressed and ready and out the door in time for our meeting/luncheon and I am only slightly limping. Max is hiding. For once he smartened up.
Escaping Northern VA
Sara and I skipped town last Thursday for a few days. We headed down to my parents for a few days of R&R. Gramma and Granddaddy and Aunt Beth got to see Sara and I got a few “mommy breaks”. Beth and I even went to see a movie! Bridget Jones – The Edge of Reason”. Great chick flick. 
Only bad part was driving home today. Interstate 95 is the worst. Between staying out of the way of the maniacs and having to rubberneck to get by an accident, I wised up and exited. God Bless backroads! Sara was happy – she got to see farms with horses and cows and I was able to relax the death grip I had on the steering wheel. 
I think Eric enjoyed the break too. He got to sleep in and play on the computer without interruptions. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
Sleep? Ah, who needs it??
Apparently I don’t. I can’t recall the last time I actually had a good nights sleep. Sara has a nasty cold/cough and she’s kept both of us up the past few nights. Wonder why she thinks it’s ok to come in our room at 2:15AM, wake me up, and tell me it’s time to go downstairs for breakfast?! I am praying to the coffee god, Juan Valdez, this morning.
Who woulda thought?
Ok, so I just finished buying some tickets on ticketmaster.com. I would have love to have clicked on the Toby Keith, or Tim McGraw or Martina McBride. But nooooooo…..I am the proud owner of tickets to see Sesame Street Live!! Whooohoooo!! Do you think they’ll let me hold up my lighter when Bert and Ernie sing??
It’s been awhile…
Long time no blog. Let’s see, GWB will lead our country for 4 more years. Sara was the most adorable butterfly for Halloween. The Redskins are still having a losing season. It’s officially Fall – the yard is covered in leaves and it’s noticeably cooler. It has rained all day today. Eric is adjusting to driving home from work in the dark. Sara, however, is not adjusting well to the time change. She is wide awake and raring to go at 5:30am. Ugh. Thank heavens for coffee. I think I drank a whole pot the other day. My Creative Memories business is going well. I am participating in a Holiday Open House this weekend. Oh man, did I just type holiday?! Yikes! Christmas is fast approaching and I need to get busy. I sat down here at the laptop to update this and make up for lost time but in the 20 minutes I’ve been sitting here, the phone has rang twice, I’ve gotten up to make corn muffins to go with our chili tonite, and Sara has just informed me that she needs a new diaper. Alas, my time is up. I will update again soon. Peace.
