SO MUCH TO SAY.....!!!

...about nothing really. this post is going to be pretty damn boring, so prepare yourselves now. i haven't posted in a week and i wanted to stop by before you guys thought i may have fallen off the face of the earth (again!). lately, i have just been too busy reading other people's blogs, that i haven't had time (or felt like) posting on my own. hopefully tomorrow or the next day (or maybe even the next day) i will post the finished library card kit i made (well almost finished. i only did 30 cards) and some pics of my bug-a-boos.

for those of you who have asked (and i do apologize for not responding to the posts on my own damn site), mike will be home in another 18 days. i am going to fly up there (knoxville, tn) on the 17th so i can see him graduate. i am so beside myself about it i can hardly sit still. i miss you so much baby, you will never know. the kiddos do too! i don't know what i'm going to do with ya once ya get home (well besides that ;) since i felt that i have been playing single mommy for quite a while now. the idea of having another adult in the house is going to be pure bliss.

for those of you that didn't know, saturday was my birthday. i had all these great things planned. i was going to have my brother come up to the house and keep the kiddos while me and the girls went out and partied it up. i haven't been out drinking in god knows how long (this folks, is what happens when you have children). its been so long that i had do go out and buy what i thought may resemble a "going out" outfit. so my bday weekend started out good (i get a whole bday week if ya didn't know). that friday, the best boss in the whole wide world took me to lunch and then let me leave a lil early. i then went shopping for that outfit, stopped at walmart to get the kiddos and my brother some junk food for saturday night, and then came home. fell asleep on the couch watching hunter with mikey and woke up with an icky stomach (mikey had that at the beginning of the week). i crawled into bed and laid as still as i could praying that i wouldn't throw up. sure enough, we all know what happened next. this continued till i woke up. i lay there listening to bella letting me know over the monitor that she wanted out of bed. my stomach began to grumble...uh oh. i laid still again while i heard mikey get up and come into my room. the lil bug walked over to my side of the bed and i opened my eyes. he told me to go back to sleep so he could tell me happy bday. he remembered which was the best gift of all.

i spent my bday on the couch with an icky tummy falling in an outta sleep. poor mike felt so bad that he couldn't be at home with me and that my plans were ruined. even though i started to feel a lil bit better as the afternoon went on, i wasn't even going to chance going out and then having to make a mad dash for the bathroom.

so that was my 27th bday in a nutshell. later i will post the bday gifts that my mom picked up for the kiddos. i told her that she didn't have to do that since we were celebrating my bday with the kids and mike when he got home, but she insisted. even though they were lil gifts, they were the best. esp. since mikey picked out his own.

my mom also gave me one of my grandma's rings (daph, we both have one of our grandma's rings now :) which is great. i just need to get it resized so i can wear it.

well, i guess i am going to end this boring ramblings here. the bachelorette comes on in a bit and i have to give my undivided attention to my boyfriend jerry. i promise though that tomorrow i will have pictures and all that jazz.
