Today he left me a Reeses Peanut Butter heart and a beanie baby bear with a heart that says 'kiss me'

Awwwww, I know. I'd call it cute but Vicus would have a fit again.

Yesterday I took Chris to seminary and then hit the pool. It felt so good. Then I did some grocery shopping on the way home. I baked chocolate chip cookies for lunches and for the guy at Lance's work that gives him a ride home at night most of the time. I don't know what we'd do if he wasn't so kind. It takes a load off of me, that's for sure, especially when Lance is working till 2a.m. and I have to get up at five.

Then I cooked some country style ribs and made my mama's barbecue sauce for them to simmer in. I got it all ready for Lance before he left for work so he could have that and some mashed taters and green salad.

The girls and I went out in search of their Valentine's day cards for school and then I took them for a peach and strawberry frap at their favorite place. Next we drove down by the river where Lance and I go to walk sometimes. It was nice to spend time alone with them. I picked up Steph at work at 8:30, did some grocery shopping for her on the way home and then went back to my laptop to finish up some work for my client in Singapore. I'm just a liiiiiiitle behind on things, but he's fine with it so far. He knows I'm a SAHM and things come up.

Today was nice. I took Chris to seminary and then came home. Lance slept until 11 and then we both drove Steph to work (where I'll pick her up again tonight at 8:30) and then we went to a place we've been DYING to try since we moved here four years ago. It's a barbecue place. Po'boy BBQ I think is the name.

Oh man oh man oh man. They smoke their meat outside in these huge smokers and it was sooo good. I told him that was my Valentine's present to him since I just got paid. He was thrilled with that because he's a freak about BBQ. You could just taste the smoke....and I mean that in a good way.

Then we got the kids some Valentine's presents, came home and hid them in the trunk of the destroyed car in our driveway because those kids know every hiding place in the house and I banged out a couple of articles for my client, put on some laundry (does that ever end?) then I took him into work a bit early because he had to go to medical for something. Girls got home, had snacks, I took them over to church for their achievement days where they tied some quilts to donate to low income families. I love that they are involved in things like that.

And now...back to work before I have to pick up Steph from work again.

I tell ya..this having one car is for the birds. The birds I say.... Sigh. Oh well, there are worse things in life. Ok, back to work. No, this time I really mean it. Honest.

Did I mention that my hubby is the sweetest? I'm so very blessed to have him in my life.

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...

People are rude

I'm whining today. I think I have the right. My friend's mom sells Cookie Lee Jewelry and I agreed to host a party for her at my home tonight. I sent out about twenty invitations via the mail and I only had two people call me to say they couldn't come. Two. Two kind people called to let me know they would not be able to make it. The rest ignored the invitation. I cleaned my house, I made two apple crisps. This afternoon I called everyone I sent invitations to. I know people are busy. I get that. it's not that I'm not busy either. I'm just...disappointed in people. I feel let down. Silly of me, huh? But I do. Good thing I have apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for my family tonight. On a positive note, I went to the pool this morning and had a nice workout. Felt better for having done that and plan on going tomorrow as well. Now I'm getting the 'what's for dinner mooooom???' queries. I think tonight it will be fast food. I...
