Nothing much....

Betsy stayed home from school yesterday, complaining of dizziness and nausea. Guess who is complaining of dizziness now? Yup....wee one. She looked bad when I picked her up from school today. You can always tell when she is sick because her eyes get all red. She came home and fell asleep on the couch for an hour, which is not like her. I gave her some Tylenol and she perked up a bit, ate dinner, took a shower, did her homework, and now she says she isn't feeling good again. Sigh. Betsy feels much better today, so hopefully it's just a 24 hour thing.

Today is my mom's birthday! She is the big "59", but doesn't look a day over 50....brownie points!....lol. We had her for dinner and I made her favorites....meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas and pearl onions, yeast rolls and homemade peanut butter pie. I think she enjoyed it. Earlier I caught her sneaking a little taste of the potatoes when she thought I was outside. It was so funny....she looked like a kid getting caught in the cookie jar! Betsy and wee one got her a little snowman light from her favorite store, and JB and I got her another sheep to add to her collection. She has so many sheep. Big ones, little ones, primitive ones, holiday ones....I think she was a shephard in another life....

Why is it that the pile on my desk keeps growing? Dang. I have so much crap on here, and I just cleaned it off the other day! It's a catch-all for everyones "I don't' know where to put this" stuff. I think I will throw all of it away and see who realizes that it's gone. That'll teach 'em.

Guess what? It's finally going to cool down in this God forsaken state. The forecast is calling for....get ready....a week of 70's with Monday being....holy crap....68! I can not tell you how freaking excited I am. I am so behind in my seasons....you really get screwed up when it's 80 in October. I keep thinking that Christmas is a long way off....but in reality there are only 65 days, 3 hours and 22 minutes until the big day. (Check out the Christmas clock at christmasdepot.com!) I really should think about what I'm going to get the girls this year. Actually, I have a plan, but won't know until Thanksgiving if it is going to work out.

I've been falling asleep too early lately. I usually watch tv until 11 or so, but last night I fell asleep at 9:30, waiting to see the season premier of two shows that I like. Needless to say I missed both of them. And the baseball playoffs have really been messing with my tv viewing. You know....I've been thinking about TiVo or something like that. I don't know how it works or how much it costs. I'm also too lazy to look it up tonight....so if anyone has it, leave me a comment and let me know if it's worth it! I have DirecTV and I think they offer something....I will check when I pay my bill tomorrow.

Okay....I'm going to go pack wee one's book bag, sign her reading sheet, wash my face, moisturize (gotta get to those wrinkles before they start), brush the teeth and settle down to read....oh, who am I kidding. I'll get to chapter one and fall asleep!
