Mother's Day Early

I had a long day at work today. I did not stop. Now I am home and we have eaten and I came on here to check some things and upload some pics from my camera and to load some on a stick to print when I go to the store in the next few days.

Much to my surprise the boys and Truckerman gave me my Mother's Day present. I was not expecting anything but they got me the Wii Fit!! I have wanted one for quite some time and have not been able to get one because they sell out so fast.

Now I have to read the book and figure everything out cuz I know nuthin about these types of things and have only been on the Wii once and I have no idea of what to do. OY!!

Well off to figure it out! Wish me luck.

Snow

The weather was so nice here and then the last few days it has been snow. Yes SNOWING!!! But tonight the sun has finally made it's face known and it is supposed to be warming up again. As long as it is warm for the weekend of May 9th when Truckerman convocates from university. Can you believe that? He is going to be convocating from uni and that we have been here for almost 2 years. Where did the time go?!

He has applied for Seminary for the fall but won't hear anything for a bit because he has to write the GRE, and none of the reference letter have gone out to any of his references. Everyone says that he will get in but until you get that confirmation there is still that question in the back of your mind. And if he doesn't get in I just waste 2 years of my life here.

I have worked the last 7 days and I have to phones and they have been ringing all day. So I am tired and it looks like I have to work the next six. :-P If I have to then I am going to take the 8th off to get the house, etc. ready for the guests and BBQ for the Convocation.

We are having quite a few people over for the BBQ because Truckerman and his cousin are both convocating so we are having a joint party and we are inviting quite a few people we are friends with in the city. It should be a good time!! And I will not be working, I refuse to be working and I will not be answering my phone and going in. Forget that idea!! Fat chance!

I'd rather be at home

Some people need to make sure their minds are working properly when they change them. I'm getting sick of people changing their minds at work. It is making life difficult for me.

Tonight we are going to a Hebrew party at Truckerman's teacher's place. Should be exciting! NOT!!! I am not looking forward to spending an evening with people that I don't know talking about stuff I don't care about. I dread activities like these but I have to get used to it and put a smile on my face and be pleasant. Goody goody gumdrops. I would like to spend the evening at home since I worked all week, worked late last night, and the boys were gone so I didn't get to see them, and I walked all day today and I work tomorrow and then back to the weekly work schedual monday. I would rather be at home.

I have lost 18 pounds and have stalled out. I need to get the inspiration to get back in the groove of losing again and exercising. The weather has been lousy and with some of the hours I work it makes it difficult. I just need to get off my lazy rear and actually just do it. Just not today. lol

Long time since I Blogged

I was told that I need to blog more often. And since it has been months and so much has happened and is happening and I need an outlet I thought that I should get back on.

First thing is this stupid thing wouldn't let me on for 10 minutes saying that my email and password were wrong. Hmm I didn't change anything.

So anyways, we moved again. Yup, the family that hates to move, moved again.

There were a lot of reasons for the move. One, our old landlords decided that they were raising the rent to more then what the place was worth. We were in a duplex and it needed work. We found a house with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a finished basement, a single car garage, large fenced yard, and it is very close to work for me and for Truckerman. Plus the rent is only $65 more then the 2 bed duplex. Scary isn't it.

We are liking it here. It is not the big city, it is a smaller city and it has a small town feel. It is so much quieter and safer here. The boys have met a couple of the neighbors now but unfortunately there are no kids their ages that they have seen yet.

We have been going for walks around the neighborhood and have found a couple of playground and fields to play in. That made the boys excited. On one of our walks a pine cone attacked Repete to make him fall off his bike. Truckerman had to carry him home but he was back on the bike the next day.

Work was extremely busy for us since Christmas but has finally slowed down for a bit. But it looks like it is starting to pick up again. Some days, well most days, I wish that I was still a stay at home mom. I really do miss it. Don't get me wrong, I do like helping the families that i meet, but I miss helping at the boys school, knowing the boys friends and their parents, and many other things.

Truckerman will be having his Convocation here on May 9. He has applied for seminary but won't hear back from them until later in May or June. We are having a party for him and his cousin because she is Convocating with him.

Truckerman has been asked by the President's office to carry the cross at the graduation church service and the convocation service. That is so exciting for him. He has worked so hard and deserves it.
