luck sure eeee
The weather's been groovy this weekend and I'm making the most of it by staying inside and looking out.
Last night gayle had her pampered chef party and I got lots of goodies. I even won a cookbook. Now if someone would just use it and cook something. I'm trying to help Amy raise money for breast cancer awareness so if anyone wants to buy some pink cooking stuff, go to her site here: http://www.pamperedchef.biz/chefamyskitchen and get stuff. If you don't want to do that, just talk to me and I'll sign you up on my sign up form thingy and there won't be any shipping or tax for the pink items.
Today Terri and I are going to get our toenails did. We've been talking about it since last summer when I was unemployed and now it looks like we'll finally pamper ourselves and then maybe eat some raw fish afterwards. I wonder what the poor people will be doing.

Water tower power!
Earlier this week I had to climb up on the top of two of my schools to work on the wireless. The second school was a bit harrowing and I honestly thought they'd have to send a helicopter to haul my butt off of the roof.
One of the guys said "eh, it was just 25 feet...you were ok" That's what he said til today when we went out to the water tower to work on the radio up there in the tower. That's him up there on the FIRST LEVEL...white knuckles and all. He retracted his statement.

bibbit
Tess has a new-found fascination with the animals in this house. She's always loved the cats and she sorta likes the puppy. The animals she LOVES are the lizards and the frog. She calls them all "bibbits" which equals "ribbit" if you are 18 months old. Earlier tonight I heard her talking to Eduardo, the bearded dragon, like he was talking back to her. She'd say some jibberish in tess-ese and then laugh at his response. That Eduardo has the BEST sense of humor, don't you know. I just wish he'd stop using curse words around her because she's gonna pick up on that one day and then someone's gonna have some splainin' to do.

spongebob square pants ate my brain
Tess has been sick for 2 days now. She's got a high fever. She spiked at over 105 for 2 nights in a row now and it's really scary when something that small puts off that much heat. We took her to the doctors yesterday to have her ears re-checked since she'd had an ear infection last week and is still finishing her antibiotics but her baby ears are all clear. She's apparently got a virus. Virus pisses me off because it's so non-descript. I want to give my baby's fever a name, not "virus".
This past weekend Dan got stuck working 2 12 hour shifts again but it's paying off I think. He's getting lots of extra time off next week and we do love that. I just hate that last weekend he had to sleep through supper club.
Allow me to rave a bit about supper club. For the past 2 months we've had some of the most fantastic food I've ever eaten. We've become a pretty small but regular group and we all seem to "get it" when it comes to the way things should be done. This could be because of my hitler-esque set of "guidelines" at the beginning of the year, or it could be that lots of people just hate us and don't want to come deal with me. Either way, it's so awesome and now I can't stop thinking about eating new potatoes and baby peas in cream sauce and crab cakes and polenta and trifle. These folks know food....trust me.

twitterpatted
Sheep introduced me to twitter.com and now I'm in heaven. Since I'm prone to think in short blurbs of VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, it's easier for me to use twitter than my blog. That doesn't mean I hate my blog because nono. That's not true. I just love twitter in a new toy kind of way.
Easter weekend was pretty fun. The mean mommys gathered on saturday night at Terri's house. Dan couldn't go because he had a very long work weekend and had to get rest, but Aaron took up the male-slack by forcing us to watch golf. Becky's ass is worse than a years worth of dog farts. Good times, as always.
Sunday Terri and Kayla went to church and then to my folk's house with us. The kids did egg hunting and the adults had wine. I enjoyed getting reaquainted w/ some cousins we'd lost to God a few years back. It was good to have 'em back to normal.
Yesterday was pretty great at the beginning. Dan and I were proving that it is very possible to stay in bed and watch tv and read books all day. The kids were busy destroying the house and then Tess woke up from her nap and cried. And cried. And cried. And cried. Til finally around 3 we took her to the dr. She has croup (AGAIN!) and an ear infection. Once we got her all doped up she seems a lot better, but she's still a sicko.
I promised Kendall that we'll go to the gym today, so as soon as the dryer repair guy shows up we'll go.
Tomorrow I get to go back to work. I'm looking forward to it. The clutter around here is exhausting.
