Start Walkin!

I finally bought a treadmill! I bought it Thursday night. I dragged it into the house all by myself Friday morning. I am hoping that some time on Saturday I will actually get it put together. And if I am lucky by Sunday I will be able to start using it. WOOHOO! Wish me luck!

We have doors ... well sorta ...

So for some reason we have never had doors on the bedrooms downstairs. I don't know why or where they went. They might be upstairs ... maybe in the attic even. I honestly have no idea.

I have been wanting to put up curtains in place of the missing doors for a long time now. The hubby has always seemed less then excited about the idea. I am sick of trying to dress while dodging windows and the kiddlet in the living room. So he finally agreed to let me put up the curtains between our bedrooms and the living room. I got to go shopping! LOL I found a very pretty red set that work wonderfully in my opinion. They block off the rooms and I finally feel like I have some sort of privacy. So here they are! Our new "doors"!

Lottery? You have got to be ....

I got the letter in the mail from the school Bryan applied to for next year. He did not get in. Apparently they had more applications then spots. So they did a lottery to choose who could get in. WTF? So instead of basing it on who did the best and scored the best they instead just picked names at random. That's bull shit! It just seems totally unfair to me. Work hard and do well ... but don't try to hard cause it doesn't really mean jack and shit. Great ... thanks for teaching my son that little life lesson ... jerks. So he is on the waiting list to get in. He is 2nd in line for a spot. So I am hoping a LOT that 2 kids bail out before fall and he gets in. Fingers crossed!

Smoooooooooooooth

I got new tires on the Explorer today. The hubby didn't make it more then a few feet before he turned around and declared we were going to Sam's Club for new tires. WOOHOO! I drove around like that for over a month now and it only took seconds to drive him bonkers. LOL So I got new tires and it is AMAZING. I can't believe how different it is. The ride is so smooth that I don't notice when I am speeding. Caught myself doing 55 in a 40 mph zone on my way back home. Ooops! LOL Oh well. I will just have to put the cruise on and hope I don't get a ticket. LOL

Can't wait!

I can not wait for this to come out!

So proud I had to fight back tears!

The boy had his conferences at school last night. I am never very worried when I go to these things. He is pretty well behaved. Other then the homework delema we had a few years ago, he does well and is happy. So when the teacher started whispering in the hall way that she had something she needed to talk to us about I got worried. *GULP* What did he do? Or not do? OMG ... gonna faint ... ok pulled back together. LOL

So when we got into the room she says to me that she thinks he should be in the advanced math classes next year. I thought "Is that all?" LOL I was worried it was something I didn't know about! Then she asked if I new he placed high enough for the highly gifted program for junior high school next year.
Yes ....
Did I plan on letting him go?
HA HA HA Ummm ... I kinda already fill out all the paperwork weeks ago when we first found out!
She seemed very relieved. She had no idea how relieved I was! She informed us that only 6 students from his school qualified and only 3, one of those is him, will be going next year. Out of those 6 kids that placed high enough the boy was 3rd. THIRD!!! And the child that placed second was only 1 point higher then he was! AMAZING! I was pleasantly surprised! How fantastic is that?!?!?! I did my best to fight back the tears of pride that swelled up and threatened to give me away as a sappy momma. But then she is a mother of a boy close to my boys age. So I am sure she would have understood my corny tears.

Then she told me a story about the girl who had placed first in the school. She is new to the country and struggles with English sometimes. During a grammer game she thought she had done something to hurt her teams chances. She didn't. She just misunderstood the card she picked. But she was upset and began to cry. My son got up from his seat, went to her, sat down next to her, and talked to her until she stopped crying and cheered her up. The tears could easily start flowing again! OMG! My lip must have been trembling cause I could barely speak. My voice was just gone from trying not to cry! The teacher commented on how most kids would have ignored her crying or made fun of her. That is just the way some kids are at that age. But not my boy ... nope ... he did his best to make her feel better. The teacher seemed just as impressed as I was.

She commented on how she had been thinking about what the kids in her class would be in 15 years. She thinks the boy will be an engineer for some place like NASA! I laughed and told her with all the Star Wars and Star Trek and Stargate that boy watches it would not suprise me one bit! LOL How could you not be proud of your son when he is a cheif engineer, on a starship, for Star Fleet? I mean how many mother's get to say that? HA HA HA OK so it may not be on a starship. But for as much as he loves math and sci-fi it would not be a far stretch to be working for NASA some day. A mama can hope right?

Going down ... down ... down ...

My temps are on a slow decline. That's how it looks anyway. Unless they jump back up tomorrow ... well I think AF will be on her way in the near future. UGH! I was so queasy all day yesterday and last night that I was starting to get some hope back. *sigh* I guess only time will tell. But if I am not pregnant then my body needs to get it's shit together and move on to the next cycle so we can have another chance.

Badge Update!

I found the freakin badges!!! They were right on top of a stack of DVDs in the living room. Could not have been more obvious. *smacks self in the head* All this stress and argueing and crap and they were right there. They were face down with a couple of old photo albums on top so I can see how I didn't realize they were in there. But come on! I should have recognized the friggin baggie! LOL Oh well they are found! Now I can go pick out my new treadmill he promised me if I found them. Unless he tries to back out of that one now. LOL

Badges

I have torn this house apart looking for those stupid badges for the hubby's uniforms!!! I am so sick of looking. I am sick of him complaining. I don't know where they are! I don't know how they disappeared. And let's face it they are not MY responsibility! Yet I am the one getting yelled and to find them and why haven't I found them yet. UGH! I tore the bedroom apart today and still nothing! We worked so hard cleaning the kitchen and NOTHING! I can't stop sneezing now due to all the dust I have kicked up today. You have no idea how many bottle of lotion I found under his side of the bed that he keeps stealing from the bathroom! No wonder I can never find a bottle after my shower! Squirt some in your hands, rub it in, and leave the bottle ALONE! *sigh* OK I feel a hair better now that I have vented. I feel like I am going to puke. Would like to blame that on being pregnant but God only knows if that is true or not. My luck I am just coming down with some craptaculer virus. I need a nap or something. LOL But no ... no no ... I will continue my quest to find these Fing badges!!! Wish me luck!

I am gonna build me a fort!

I could build myself a fort out of all the negative pregnancy tests I have taken lately. The first one I took was a very faint positive. I swear ... no I am not seeing lines ... I don't think anyway. But every one after has been negative. And it is driving me CRAZY! Gonna pull my hair out pretty soon! My period is almost a week overdue. My temps are still nice and high. I have had a cramp every now and then. Most of the time it turns out I just had to fart. Gross right? So I didn't even bother to test this morning. What is the point? Maybe in a few days I will try again. Or maybe AF will show. I don't know. But something has to happen pretty soon. In the mean time I will be in the corner makin my fort ... hope I can keep this dogs out of it ... and Sonny from peeing on it ... eeeeeew!
