Not really anything to render an exclaimation point, but I figured, why not? LOL!
I have a headache, the weather blows again. And I am missing the 67* and blue skies we had Sunday. It seems like ages ago! We went to the Zoo on Sunday and had a FANTASTIC time! The weather could not have been more beautiful! The wind was light and cool, the skies were solid blue and the sun was warm. The kids had a great time looking at all the animals, we packed a lunch and sat down for peanut butter and jelly, chili cheese fritos and grapes. It amazed us to see one family after another come out of the cafe door with huge trays of food...we have done that in our not so seasoned parent days...and each tray is at LEAST 50.00! Whereas we ate for free! And, my kids ate til they were full...and LIKED what they were eating! I watched plate after plate of half eaten pizza, or hot dogs, or chicken fingers go into the garbage. Crazy stuff! We all had a great time though, and both the kids managed to stay awake on the way home. We got home and I grilled hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill, and made some tuna mac salad and we ate outside in the warm afternoon sun. Even Clover was passed out in the grass loving life! It was a great day and made me crave spring so much more!! I cant wait for the noce weather every day! I know its on its way though...February is almost gone, March is coming and the weather always gets great in March!
I have to plan for sure where to have Laci's birthday party since I am ONE MONTH away from my baby girl turning THREE!!! I have to get the invites ordered and need to settle on a location, pronto! Its a toss up between Field's Landing and JJ Biello park in Woodstock...hmmm....
Anyhow today is cool and rainy and I have groceries and laundry and cleaning and beds to change to get done in the next few hours! I need to get off my kiester and get it done!
Have a beautiful day!

This is a bad year for blogging!
I dont know why I cant get with the blogging program! I blame it on laziness and facebook! I get on and update statuses on FB and then neglect my beautiful 3 year running family blog! Its terrible and something I really would like to learn to fix again. I miss my blog. I dont care if no one reads it, I know its here and I love it! I have worked very hard on it for years now and I need to get with the program already! ugh!
Ok so lets start with last week, shall we?
Friday night was great! My friend Heather had a Pure Romance party and I had a great time. It was nice to catch up with some old friends and I laughed a lot. I didnt get home til almost 1am! I was very tired the next day but it was so worth it! Valentines day was pretty unproductive since we dont really *do* Vday here at our house. Brian bought me a card and it was super sweet, but I still havent even filled his out. (hangs head in shame...I know, I suck) Cards are my kryptonite.I can never get a card to someone on time. Its an impossible goal for me. I could probably learn to speak fluent Swahili before I could learn to send or give a card to someone on time! Its rediculous!
On Tuesday, our money came in. It was much needed for everything from bills to appliances. We went with a new dishwasher, TV and entertainment center in the livingroom, and odds and ends we have needed around the house...like my beautiful pictures I bought a year ago in Daytona are FINALLY in frames and ready to be hung! We miscalculated our budget a bit, and now we are running low with quite a few things left to do. But we still plan on 3 things, the fence in the back yard, the camcorder (so I can post vidoes online!) and our trip to Daytona next month!! I am going to be getting lumber this week and hope to start working on the fence next weekend! I really want it done soon! I also need to book a hotel room in Daytona, and pick a camcoder out! Whew!
Thursday I took the kids to Fernbank. They both had a BLAST!!! I knew they would love it. They both were very well behaved and Laci loved all the animals, and Christopher loved showing his sister how to see stuff and teach her things that he knew from our visits before. They both did great with the IMAX film we watched called "Wild Ocean" and we had a great time.
Friday I had to get Clover to the Vet for another check-up. He is 27 pounds now and considered underweight and skinny per the Vet. I have been concerned about his eating for a few days now so we have upped his food to 2 cups Innova kibble and 1/2 can wet EVO 2 times a day. He already looks better just 2 days now but he started the squishy poo this morning. I have to get him some canned pumpkin at the store to help his belly. He has a 10 pound weight gain goal by his visit next month. I hope we can do it!
Yesterday we had Matthew's 10th birthday party at a skateboard place here in Canton which was fun, then last night was the big girl's dinner out which yielded a whopping 5 people...including me! WTF? That is *it*!!! I am done planning crap. Everytime I do no one shows up it seems! I was very let down, but still had an AWESOME time with the 4 girls who came. I really feel like my resolution of getting more friends in my life if starting to fill out and I couldnt be happier! I came home early and was in bed nice and early.
This morning started off rough, I have been up since 5am. Clover was going nuts in his crate, and I only had to open the bedroom door to know why. He had pooped in his crate bc we didnt take him out last night and was a poo-y mess!!! I got up, Brian got up, and then I got him a bath while brian cleaned the cage. Brian went back to sleep, Clover went back to sleep, and I have drank a whole pot of coffee and will be very sleepy tonight. Today is going to be 65*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to the ZOO!!! YAY!! I am happy and excited! I got a sit and stand stroller off of craigslist for the kids and will be trying it out today! :)
Welp thats a good stopping point for today. I will be on in the morning to update from the zoo! Have a beautiful Sunday!

11 days...
I am really wishing I had something amazing to report on to even make this post post-worthy...but I dont! LOL! Nothing here but a bunch of day in and day out blahness! Lets see....
Clover is doing great, he has an appointment on the 26th for more shots. He is oh about 5% house broken but 90% crate trained...so its ok. My friend Francis had her baby on groundhog's day. Little Garik was 8pounds 3 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Since he was born on Groundhog's day, I have decided to call him Beau. I think mom and dad are ok with it, and I think its a great nickname! He is so cute! She did a good job cooking that one! I have worked at Christopher's school a few more days and thats always fun! I love the kids and wish I could get a job working in a class on a regular basis...of course with pay would be a nice bonus! ;) Yesterday I hung out with my mom for a bit and it was fun. I always love having her around and we laugh a lot when we are together. Brian came to her house and got Laci and Clover so I could actually go out alone for a few hours with her. I got some of Laci's summer shopping done and now I just have to make a date with Christopher this weekend to get him done. We are waiting on the tax return to come back and then we are getting a family pass for the year to a few places, one of which is Fernbank which I will be using next week while Christopher is out of school for the whole week. I plan on being out of the house every day at least for a few hours next week!
This weekend is Valentine's day, but I hate Valentines day and Brian respects that, so we will just be here at the house doing our thing here with the kids. Maybe next weekend we will go on a date when the world doesnt expect it. This saturday I have a passion party to attend at my friend Heather's house for a few hours and that will be fun, except I dont think I know anyone there! ha!
Today I am going to get some cleaning and laundry done. Hope you all stay warm! Lots of love!
