Whining gets you everywhere.

Speaking of wine...if any of you are interested in getting together to have a wine tasting where Suzie actually teaches you about wine, please let me know. I'd like to have a party and I am not sure what she's charging but we could all pitch in and have a fun, yet educational time and at the end of the night there's nothing to buy! We just have to cover the wine and her fee. You know you want to do it.

So since I have NOT been posting a lot has gone on but it's really not monumental. I decided that I'd like a shamwow, but haven't gotten any yet. I decided to start studying to get my MCSE, but haven't done that yet either. I did read two books but they're the Twilight series so that hardly counts as reading. We've gotten moved in and settled into our new house and it's wonderful. We've almost been here two months now and I still keep walking around wondering how this happened. The kids still love it here and Trevor and Kendall are adjusting to new schools. Trevor likes his school and has friends there. Kendall isn't as happy as I'd thought she'd be with a new experience and new people to worship her. She doesn't hate her school, but she really misses her old friends so I try to make sure she sees them a lot.

Dan is going to be starting a new job next week. He's going to be working with Shep's company and I'm terrified....they want to actually pay dan to "mess around with stuff and learn about it". Honestly, the nice pay raise is going to be wonderful and I'm elated that he's going to be working with stuff that interests him. Change is not easy for me, so moments of freaking out are bound to come. I think it's a good change though. (if not, i'll kill you, sheep!)

I've spent most of the last month sick. It's rediculous. I'm the least tolerant person of sick people ever. I hate sick people, I hate whiney babies who can't just get over it. But seriously, I can't seem to get over this earache/sorethroat/infectiony crud. I'm now on my 4th round of antibiotics and steriods and I hate myself. In between the days of medication I've been trying to do a low carb diet and it's gone well EXCEPT WHEN I'M PUMPING MY BODY FULL OF DRUGS. It may sound like I'm making excuses but really, I've lost almost 10 lbs since new years and each time I have to take meds, it stalls my weight loss. Not to mention that every other week or so I really must have like 8 beers in a row...then it's back to the drawing board.

Tess is doing great. She really wants to just live with ms. suzie instead of us and I'd kinda dig that too, but Dan won't go for it. Max is doing well enough. He's had ear infections at the same time I have so he's a whiney asshole just like me. I swear, he's really just not happy unless I'm carrying him around. I think it'd be awesome to blame Suzie but really he doesn't do this for her, he's just a jerk to me. It could possibly be my fault. I really do carry him around all the time. I love him. I want to hold him, but I'm a dangerous enough cook without having to do it one handed while balancing a kid on my hip. He's cute though...he mimicks us and walks around with a stagger like a little drunkard. In the next week or so we're going to work ourselves out of bottles. I hate rushing him because he seems like such a little baby still, but he's ready. I'll have to let him grow up. Maybe. Ok, not yet.

Jake is funny and good. I enjoy him so much. He sends me funny text msgs like "mommy, I'm gay". I guess that's funny? I just text back and tell him that I'll always love him. Then I remind him that being gay means uh...having penises in your mouth and other places. He then tells me that his friend sent me that text. So I tell him that I'll love his friends always too.

This morning I had a text message from Jake that said "mom, if you wake up and I'm not at home, it's because I stayed at Caylor's house. If I *am* at home...it's not me, it's an evil twin". Thankfully he wasn't here. I love jake but two of him would suck.(in stereo)

Kendall has her friends Yenci and Kimberly over right now and they're making pysanky eggs. I set up the dining room for eggs a week or so again and I've had just a few times of being able to make them. The dye lasts indefinately so if anyone wants to come over and make pretty eggs...just say the word. I just can't do it this weekend because I'm illin' and next Saturday Dan and I have a date. Gayle, Terri and I found out last Sunday that mimosas and egging go very well together so Sundays are ideal for this craft.

I feel like I have a backlog of boring drivel to type about but I hope my blog will stay working long enough for me to do all of that later. Right now I'm off to find some pain pills and a glass of wine.

Do you want a Snuggie too? Because I do, even though I'm not 85 years old.
