Not the productive day that I had envisioned, but a good one nonetheless! I was awakened by Zach at 3am, with blood curdling screams that he had to go potty! I consulted the calendar, and the good news is that there are only 131 more nights that he has to wear his club foot shoes/brace... so there are only 131 more nights that I might be awakened with the screams to go potty! After that it will only happen once...and then he will be strongly reminded that a) we don't scream in the middle of the night to go potty, and b) he can now get up and go by himself at 3am, without waking mommy and daddy up! I'm hopeful at the very least!! ; )
As soon as Casey left Lucas came into my room and told me that it's Tuesday, and asked when they were going to Grandma's! It used to be that I worked every Tuesday, and so every Tuesday they went to Grandma's for the day. But now I only work every other Tuesday. I hadn't talked to Grandma about them going over to play for awhile, so I called to inquire because it was obvious that they needed their Grandma fix! Lucas totally cracked me up because after I left a message on her recorder, he asked where she was, as if Grandma isn't allowed to have a life outside of playing with them on Tuesday's!!! They had been requesting that she come over and watch them play Super Smash Brother's on the wii, so she decided it was time. It was fun for everyone, because I got to visit with Grandma while the boys played, and they got to strut their stuff for Grandma! What a great start to our day!!
The nonproductive part of the day is the large portion of the day where I killed my cell phone playing that darn Angry birds game again!!!! While the boys were playing and watching Despicable Me, yet again, I couldn't summon the energy to do anything but play that stupid game! I've beat the game, but now I'm trying to get 3 stars on all the levels! It's amazingly difficult! Especially when I think about the levels that I played a million times, just to kill all the pigs, let alone try for 3 stars!
And of course, Tuesday night means it's ZUMBA night!!!! When I missed last week Crystal said that I had missed worship! I didn't think much about it then, but reflecting back on this, I've decided that ZUMBA is a great 'religion' for me to practice! I don't really do religion...but this I could do!! I LOVE Tuesday night's at Limelight! And last night's class was AWESOME! And to top it off, it was Fat Tuesday, and a few of us zumba freaks finished off the night at Applebee's. In the spirit of Fat Tuesday, I had a Maple Butter Blondie...totally sinful, but really delish!! It was fun hanging with the girls and chatting it up! I really do love my zumba...Crystal kicks some serious butt with her choreography...the girls are an awesome support system...and I love how good I feel afterwards!!!!!
I have decided that I'm over my crud enough that I need to get my running game back on track! So good weather or bad, treadmill or outdoors, it's time to get back in the saddle! Tomorrow is THE day baby!!

Monday, March 7th
Instead of Monday being a typical Monday, it was a great day! I not only kicked off spring cleaning and started with the blinds in the family room, but we got our new sectional delivered!!!! I wanted to get the walls in the family room behind the couches wiped down, and the blinds cleaned. I accomplished both tasks, and the blinds look so wonderful! I have decided that I need to invent self cleaning blinds however. Those things are a gigantic pain in the butt to clean...no wonder I don't bother more than once a year!! My carpet cleaner told me that if you put fabric softener in the water and use that to clean the blinds that they will repel the dust better. We shall soon see!!
Our fabulous new couches were delivered today. I LOVE them!! And in true furniture fashion, they look gigundous in our family room compared to what they looked like on the showroom floor. We arranged the pieces the way we thought we wanted them, but Casey's chair and ottoman didn't fit in the room with that arrangement. So we moved the chair and ottoman up into the living room. Then a few minutes later as we were sitting and admiring the new look, I had a brilliant idea. We could make the one side under the windows even longer, and that should free up enough room for the chair to fit in the room too. And it really was a brilliant idea, it worked!! We decided to watch a movie to test out the new couches. The movie was Letters to Juliet, and was a flop...I don't mind predictable chic flicks, but I do like some plot, and a little humor never hurts either!! The couches were a hit however!!!!! LOVE 'em!!
Mother nature has a very sick sense of humor these days. We started off the day with snow, lots and lots of snow. Thankfully it was warm enough that it was just a wet snow, and didn't stick or accumulate! And it was just rain by the afternoon. Casey said we got 3/10 of an inch of precip on Monday, which is pretty decent for the Treasure Valley!
Lucas had his big share day at school today. He took in the foam finger he got from the Steelheads game. And then, he got all excited because Miss Erika and the other students played along, and closed their eyes while he pulled it out of his bag, to surprise them with it's awesomeness!! The kid seriously cracks me up!! He was very happy that all of his friends enjoyed it and thought it was cool.
It was a great start to the week...

Sunday, Sunday
Decided that since yesterday was so unproductive that I needed to get something done today! I got the dinners planned for the week, and started the grocery list. I updated a few things on my to do list for the week. Read the paper. Got the boys to church with grandma. Lunch with the hubby. And headed out to ZUMBA!
Today Julia was teaching, but since she's preggers, Indi is going to be subbing for her when she's not able to teach class anymore. So Indi did 5 songs today! It was a ton of fun with Indi teaching!!! She did some songs that I'm very familiar with, and she's got great energy...which was surprising given that she was super tired today! I'll have to make Sunday's a priority for Zumba. And it was so pretty outside today that I was wishing I had decided to run to the Y, or at the very least ride my bike. Hoping that it stays nice, so that on the weekends I can do that. Kill 2 birds with one stone (that is my mantra after all)...zumba & run, all in one day!
Because it was so nice outside we took the boys back to the school for some outdoor family fun time. They are little bundles of energy I tell you! After playing 'walk the plank', a game that Lucas made up on the chain section of the play equipment...I decided that I would show off my old bar skills, and do a few spins, or something cool like that. I grabbed on to the bar, started to walk up the pole, and realized that I'm not even 2 months post op, and OH SHIT, that really hurts!!! I'm not the brightest light bulb sometimes!!! You'd think that prior to doing stuff like that, that I'd stop and think about what muscles are involved, and whether hanging from a bar might injure the girls...but evidently it was another of my blonde moments! Good thing I didn't give up the swearing yet!!
Today was day 1 of the detoxification proceedings! I've decided that it's time for some more self improvement! So, away with the Cherry coke zero habit that I've picked up. I'm seriously drinking anywhere from 4 to 6 of those things EVERY day! So I decided to limit myself to 4 today. And I'm proud to say that I've only had 3, and I've avoided any severe penalties so far. Tomorrow will be another story. I've done this a few times in the past, and it's always day 2 or 3 that's the worst! And rather than add another non-caloric drink to my table, I'm going to try to replace it with just plain ol' water! BORING...but I figure the aspartame in things like Crystal Light is just as bad as all of the crap I'm getting with the high fructose corn syrup and such in the soda.
And even though I'm not Catholic, I'm going to give something up for lent. I'm going to give it a try, and if it fits well, I'm thinking I'll drop it permanently (well, for the most part). I've decided that another good step in my self improvement program will be to give up swearing! I'm tired of Lucas asking me if it's okay to repeat things that I've just said, or asking if that was a bad word that I just said (and generally it is!!!). Here goes nothing! That being said, it's a good thing I didn't decide to start this today....between the bar incident at the park, and the stupid couch trying to take my toenail off this evening I would be in big trouble with myself!! I'm thinking that I need some sort of great penalty to help encourage this, just don't know what it should be yet.
The old couches are out, and the new ones are to be delivered manana!!!! WOOOOOOHOOO!! I'm hoping that this new sectional fits like I have it pictured in my mind. And that I didn't make a big mistake buying leather with a 3 and 5 year old in the house!!
Anyways, a bunch of little stuff to do before nighty night...until tomorrow!

HOCKEY!!!!!
Saturday, March 5th
Could not get my mojo flowing after staying out late with the girls Friday night. Zachary was up at 4:30 to pee, and wide awake at 6:30...love the kid, but absolutely hate early mornings!!!!!! Since the mojo was completely lacking I couldn't talk myself into doing anything, I spent the morning in my pj's, playing Angry Birds on my phone (literally, and pathetically)!!
Finally managed to drag my lazy butt into the shower after lunch...drug it back downstairs and started playing that stupid game again! My phone had died in the middle somewhere, so I was even so bold as to bring the plug out to the family room so that I could play while it charged! My greatest achievement of the day was getting "Angry Bird Addict". Casey looked it up for me, and it means that I've spent a minimum of 30 hours playing that stupid game! For reals...did I mention, pathetic?!?
Printed off the hockey tickets, and headed out to dinner at Old Chicago, downtown. Ryan had to work the hockey game so he met us there. We adults all decided to try their new Chicago style pizza...it was fabulous! But it was a ton of pizza, even for the individual size!! And of course, I had an Ace Pear Cider with dinner. Casey said he was surprised that I had an adult beverage with dinner...but it would be like me turning down dinner at a mexican restaurant, and instead asking to go have a big ol' juicy steak somewhere! You know, when in Rome...
This was Zachary's first time at a hockey game! He was pretty excited when the crowd roared as the players came out on the ice...he was throwing his hands up in the air and clapping! I truly think he enjoyed the popcorn and lemonade as much as anything. Granted he was tired, and is only 3. But he was oh so bored by the end of the second period, so we took off during the 2nd intermission, right after the chuck a puck. Lucas has share day at school on Monday, so I promised him that we'd stop by the Steelheads booth and see if there wasn't something fun to buy that he could take with him to share day. Both boys ended up with the #1 foam Steelheads finger/hand. If we'd have been smart, we'd have bought those before we sat down at the start of the game...both boys thought they were the greatest things EVER!!!!!! Lucas cannot wait to take it to share day with him on Monday!
On the way home from the game, the song Sister Christian came on the radio...and you'd have thought it was the greatest song ever judging by my husband's reaction!!!! It's amazing after 6 1/2 years of marriage, and almost 10 years together, how much he makes me laugh! The guy is a goof and seriously cracks me up!
My pic of the day is of the family at the Steelheads game! Good times I tell you!!

Another wonderful start to my weekend!
Friday, March 4th
Started the day off with Starbucks, another skinny drink and piece of coffee cake! Worked an extra shift at a different Walgreens than my usual store. I felt like a new employee all over again, and realized just how badly floating would suck right now...I had no idea where anything was at in the pharmacy, let alone out in the store. The good thing about it was that I got to work with Roxann again, and it has been far too long since I've been able to say that! She is fun, and I love working with her. I survived, and put extra money in the hubby's pocket, so it was a win-win situation!!
Headed off to dinner at the Ram. Not sure if the lack of caffeine throughout the day or the fish tacos I had were the cause, but I left with an incredible headache, and wasn't sure I'd be meeting up with the zumba chicas. Came home and watched the boys play some Mario Kart on the wii. That was THE dumbest thing to do...seriously gave me a bad case of motion sickness. I layed on the couch and felt sorry for myself, and before long, I was able to get up and get ready to go.
The girls had decided on some karaoke at the Busters in Eagle. It was a ton of fun hanging out with them, even met some new people, that are zumba freaks as well!!!! The place was packed, and by the time they made up their minds on a song, they only did one...YMCA! How fitting is that?!? I still wasn't feeling great, and with zero alcohol in my system, I was moral support for the karaoke! Maybe next time I'll be feeling up to singing in a large group....with the microphone far from my pipes! : ) My pic of the night is one I borrowed from Radka, whom we joke is our group photographer! She is at all of the big events, and takes great pics!!

Spring is a coming!!
Climbing a tree at Demeyer Park
Slumber party with kitty
I had a really fun day with my boys today! And people wonder how I can like staying home with my kids so much more than my part time gig...it's a no brainer, REALLY! They started my day off on a good note at the breakfast table this morning. Zach farts at the table and of course, blames it on me, Lucas tells him that girl's don't fart, so it wasn't mom! Heh heh...I love it when his memory doesn't fail him for stuff like this! : ) To top it off, they decided to have a slumber party with the cat. The poor cat...or so you would think. They had her covered up with blankets, and surrounded by them and pillows. But I could hear her purring, from clear across the room! My pic of the day is of the slumber party!
Swim lessons were great again this week! Zach is really getting the hang of it, and having a lot of fun, and it's seriously amazing what he can do when he stops saying I can't, and actually tries an activity first! Hoping that when coach Amber is back next week that he'll get a few more punches, and Lucas too! Lucas is doing great in the floating and independence departments!
We decided to take advantage of the sun and 50 degree weather. So after lunch we headed over to Demeyer park. They had a blast playing with a couple of other kids at the park. I froze my butt off sitting on the bench with the slight breeze blowing and the sun playing peek a boo with the clouds. Zach managed to find the one large puddle of water on the slide, and it soaked his pants and underwear. And of course I haven't put the park towel back in the car yet... normally this saves us from cutting the park play short... I go down the slides with the towel first and it dries off the slides and we can play for longer. MUST REMEMBER TOWEL!!
After a quick trip to the grocery store they were dying for some more time outside, so we went for a quick ride on the bikes down the street. Lucas took his scooter...he's getting pretty darn good on that thing! Zach is pedaling on his own quite a bit more these days, now we just need him to pick up some speed and he'll be golden!!!! And after a little computer time playing games on Playhouse Disney Zach still wanted to be outside some more! I sure hope he sleeps well tonight!!
Feeling better today, but the snot is still there, draining down the back of my throat mostly now... but that makes my throat feel worse! Decided to sit out zumba again tonight, since I have to work an extra shift tomorrow morning. I could never call in sick for a relief shift! And speaking of work... the stupid chic that was calling in prescriptions for herself did it again today and found her sorry butt in jail! Another one bites the dust. I hope that if this is a ring that two arrests in as many weeks will be putting a damper on further activity. News of the arrest made my day today however!!
Completed another craft project last night, that was just for me! I made a cute paper 'vase' and a bouquet of clovers for St Patrick's Day. Made the clovers bigger than I wanted, it would've been ok if the sticks that I used for the stems were a little longer, but oh well! Still turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! Am looking forward to making one for Easter as well!
Anyways, today was a fun day, and as much fun as it was to be outdoors for a good part of the day makes me look oh so forward to spring and summer!!!!! Until tomorrow...

Love my mornings with my boys!
Front side
Back side
I cannot tell you how many times my little men made me laugh this morning, before we even left to take Lucas to preschool, and with me feeling oh so crappy from this cold! The things that they come up with seriously crack me up. I would seriously like to live inside their brains for just a few hours to see what they're thinking about!
Lucas had a preschool field trip on Monday to a dentist's office. He told me that a lady that works there knows him, and that he has a brother. He doesn't know who she is, and I cannot for the life of me figure out who it is. So I was grilling him, trying to figure it out. I asked if she was mom's age, or grandma's age and his reply made me bust a gut laughing...she's old, like grandma, cause she's all wrinkly! ; ) Grandma tells him all the time that's she's old, so she won't be offended, but how funny is that!?! Still have no idea who it was, but oh well!
Zach and I played the wii for a bit this morning, and then decided to go down to the basement and play in the playroom. It should have caution tape all over it, warning people that it experiences frequent hurricanes, and could be a danger to all who enter! Seriously, what a mess!!!! Zach told me that he couldn't even walk in there cause there is so much stuff on the floor. So instead of playing we cleaned up, and by we, I do mean that I cleaned up, and Zach played! Oh well, you can at least tell that there's carpet in there again, and that it's light beige in color!! I love listening to him play, the scenarios he creates, and the things he says! I wish my imagination was still that active!
My favorite quote of the day is from Zach this morning. He was asking if the shirt on the counter in the kitchen is my new zumba shirt. I told him yes, and he tells me, "I really love it mom", as he rubs it on the side of his face, as if it's fleece. Silly kid! Missed my zumba last night since I'm plague ridden AGAIN! I really miss that class!! I miss the energy that Crystal emanates, I miss how awesome I feel afterwards, and I miss all of my zumba friends! Am hopeful that I'll be feeling up to trying Pyper's class at Homecourt on Thursday.
Had more fraudulent scripts to deal with this week at work. It's really getting quite old, not to mention frustrating. The amount of time involved in talking to the board of pharmacy, and the cops is overwhelming. But I definitely don't want to encourage these people to continue down this path! They need help, and I'm glad that by having them arrested they will eventually have to seek that help out.
I'm feeling the spring cleaning bug biting my butt again! Time to sit down and make out a checklist of the stuff I want to accomplish in these next few weeks. Hopefully I'll get that done before the weather perks up, because lord knows I have a million and a half yard work projects that I'd like to tackle this year! It's so nice now that the boys are older. They can play in the yard, front or back, and I don't have to worry about them running into the street, or falling into the deep window wells. So now at least, I'm not limited to an hour here and there while they're napping!! I can work away to my little heart's content, and they can play the day away! A win-win situation for all of us!
Anyways, I really should get something done! I've already tackled the dishes and two loads of laundry! My pic for the day is of my new zumba tank...it's super cool! Until tomorrow...
Lucas had a preschool field trip on Monday to a dentist's office. He told me that a lady that works there knows him, and that he has a brother. He doesn't know who she is, and I cannot for the life of me figure out who it is. So I was grilling him, trying to figure it out. I asked if she was mom's age, or grandma's age and his reply made me bust a gut laughing...she's old, like grandma, cause she's all wrinkly! ; ) Grandma tells him all the time that's she's old, so she won't be offended, but how funny is that!?! Still have no idea who it was, but oh well!
Zach and I played the wii for a bit this morning, and then decided to go down to the basement and play in the playroom. It should have caution tape all over it, warning people that it experiences frequent hurricanes, and could be a danger to all who enter! Seriously, what a mess!!!! Zach told me that he couldn't even walk in there cause there is so much stuff on the floor. So instead of playing we cleaned up, and by we, I do mean that I cleaned up, and Zach played! Oh well, you can at least tell that there's carpet in there again, and that it's light beige in color!! I love listening to him play, the scenarios he creates, and the things he says! I wish my imagination was still that active!
My favorite quote of the day is from Zach this morning. He was asking if the shirt on the counter in the kitchen is my new zumba shirt. I told him yes, and he tells me, "I really love it mom", as he rubs it on the side of his face, as if it's fleece. Silly kid! Missed my zumba last night since I'm plague ridden AGAIN! I really miss that class!! I miss the energy that Crystal emanates, I miss how awesome I feel afterwards, and I miss all of my zumba friends! Am hopeful that I'll be feeling up to trying Pyper's class at Homecourt on Thursday.
Had more fraudulent scripts to deal with this week at work. It's really getting quite old, not to mention frustrating. The amount of time involved in talking to the board of pharmacy, and the cops is overwhelming. But I definitely don't want to encourage these people to continue down this path! They need help, and I'm glad that by having them arrested they will eventually have to seek that help out.
I'm feeling the spring cleaning bug biting my butt again! Time to sit down and make out a checklist of the stuff I want to accomplish in these next few weeks. Hopefully I'll get that done before the weather perks up, because lord knows I have a million and a half yard work projects that I'd like to tackle this year! It's so nice now that the boys are older. They can play in the yard, front or back, and I don't have to worry about them running into the street, or falling into the deep window wells. So now at least, I'm not limited to an hour here and there while they're napping!! I can work away to my little heart's content, and they can play the day away! A win-win situation for all of us!
