Superbowl bound Steelers

YAY! Steelers! This is one happy lady the Steelers made it to the superbowl and now will get "one for the thumb" Go Big Ben! My hubby was in Seattle watching the playoff game as he promised his bro he would go with him if they made it. (what were the chances?) He proudly wore his jersey and almost got clocked a few times...........those Seattle fans sure get tough when they win a game. We'll see what they do next year. As far as being a threat? NO WAY! They played their superbowl on Sunday!

My 6 year old asked the other day what was more important, the Red Cross or the Jesus cross? He really thought the Red Cross was just a cross. So I explained as best I could that the Red Cross was a group of people who helpled others in trouble and they were VERY important, but the Jesus cross was most important of all!

Well, I am home throwing a load in and vacuuming.......should be getting back to doing just that.

The day is fast approaching

Almost 1 year ago, my mom left my dad. They had been married 33 years. I don't know how to describe how I feel. I'm angry at her for sure as she has gone off the rocker since divorcing him. Off the rocker with lots of HIS money I might add. I just think to myself.... 1 year ago, my life was as it has always been.. then *poof* it blows up and I am forever changed, as are my children. My mom has fought depression most of her life, but right now thinks she's not depressed. Go figure. Her mental illnesses has stretched back a long time and usually she is pretty good about medicine and honesty from me, but not now. She is in total denial and I have not spoken to her in almost 1 year. I really don't miss the person she is now, I grieve for the mom I had... the one who would stop by at the drop of a hat, the one that was on the floor with my children, the one who said I could tell her anything about her depression and she would listen with an open mind and heart and meant it. No, I do not miss the mom I have now, I miss the mom I had.

The day is fast approaching

Wow! 9 little boys at the gymnastics school for a birthday party! What a wild time. Not to mention that when you walk from the lobby into the actual gym you are overcome by the "smelly feet" smell. Really. It was so gross. Of course, little boys don't care about that. They jumped on the tramp, jumped in the balls, played games and were actually sweating when we were done. I guess you can say it was successful. Lots of Star Wars games were given, and that made one 6 year old very happy.

Today is a BIG Pittsburgh Steelers game, and so from 2pm on, you know where you will find my family... hubby is a huge fan, always has been. We've seen them play once in real life and hope to do more when the boys get bigger. Let's hope they pull this off.

Okay, I smell poopy................... where is the baby?

daycare

Okay, so today my daycare tells me that head lice has been found on one little girl. Freak me out. I am such a wierdo about that stuff anyway. Now my head is itching like crazy. I have checked my kids' heads so many times it's not even funny. I don't think they got it, but if all parents do not go home and bleach coats, hats etc... it will rear it's ugly little head again and again. I'm not kidding when I say I bleached and dried in a hot dryer ALL sheets today including mattress covers, our whole coat closet and every stuffed animal/pillow my kids sleep with. Clorox loves me. I SO hope it doesn't get us... if it does, you will hear. The girl that has it is a native with THICK long (to her butt) hair. I hope her mom takes care of it. AUGH. My kids are there so little as I work part time, so there may be a chance I will go free.

Birthday Bliss
Today my oldest turned 6. What an amazing age. I went to get him from school and took him to the dollar store. Oh, he thougt so carefully and touched so many things before settling on some matchbox cars. To be so happy about so little. I need to learn to do just that. It's funny what a 6 year old can teach you.

Okay, so you want to know how this whole thing got started? My sister has a blog and I am secretly reading it. I thought if I started one, would she figure it out?

I am wondering if any of you will figure it out? I will "drop" hints every now and then and see how long this process will take. She will be PISSED when she finds out. Let's hope she can see the funniness of it all.

Am I really blogging?

Okay, so this is my very first post and I feel after reading so many, mine for sure will be the most boring.
I really have so many things running thru my head, just not sure how to share them yet.....please don't give up on me. I promise to be more interesting later.
