HELLO EVERYONE

I got to thinking it's been a long time since I have blogged and Dad is probably wondering what we have been up too! not much.... I do have some very exciting news, Rick has finished painting my kitchen... I am so happy with it... he did such a great job. I know I couldn't of did it, I paint like my mother. Erica played her first basketball game last sat. scored 2 points for the team. she is very excited abotu tomorrow, it's homecoming... she was running around earlier before practice trying to find her perfect outfit for tomorrow. Poor girl ended up having to wear a sweater of mine... gotta do some more shopping for her... just waiting to make a little more money come in a few weeks... I have another infant starting up. Nicholas has just finished out his hockey for about a few weeks before he will start back up... Next Friday we have a meeting with his teachers I am so excited to hear how he is doing. that kid is very smart when he wants to be... but alot of the time school just doesn't excite him enough to care... He can do real well if he knows he is getting something out of it. such as tonight... he had lot's of home work because he has been forgetting to bring it home... I said to him let's get to work! and he cried about it... he says he works hard all day, he doesn't want to come home and work again... then I just had to say ooh well, Erica has basketball practice tonight... and he jumped right on it... did pretty good too. Michlyn has been doing awesome at school... hates to ride the bus, every day she has school she will ask me if I will drive her to school, or at least walk her down to the bus stop. Boo has just been being Boo... ooh my gosh, she has issues... I am so sick of being terrorized by a two year old, she screams at me, she is bossy, mean to other kids, she is demanding... I feel like a prisoner in my own home... but I guess that's my own fault... I let her boss me. I do try the time outs but she will just sit there in the time out chair smiling at me... like she likes it.. then she will stand up and wait for me to start walking towards her then sit down, then stand up, sit's down... etc... she is a stinker... but so dang cute... it's so hard to believe it when you see her lying in MY bed with her angel little face... Last Monday us sisters went out to eat at Stacy's favorite resturant TGIF for her 40th birthday... ooh my gosh, it was so much fun! I haven't laughed that good in so long, I felt a million times better after that... not that I was feeling bad... it's just so nice to get such a big pick me upper. Now tomorrow, I am having a friend come over to scrapbook with me, well, we are going to get her started and I am going to go thru all my stuff and see what I can find to give away.. I have so much... I will never use... Tomorrow Rick is taking the two older two to the Homecoming, and Sat we have Rick's 20 year reunion. I am so not looking forward to it... Rick was such a social butterfly when he was in school, and well, I WAS NOT.. so he will be off talking to every Tom, Dick and Harry and Suzie and I will probably be sitting in a corner by my self. Hard to believe my 20th is next year... Haven't heard anything on it... Not sure I would want to go anyway. well, I suppose... OOH last Sat. Me,Rick, Angie and Al went golfing - I was dreading it thinking I can't golf... I am awful at golf, but turned out to be super fun, perfect weather. We played best ball.. so Rick and I were against Angie & Al. out of each couple who ever hit the best ball we would go off of that.. of course the majority of the time we went off of Rick and they went off of Al's balls but it was great practice. We then went out to dinner at Maynor's which was YUMMY! then out for some drinks... a few to many for me.... but it was fun...and I payed for it Sunday.
