So, yeah its been a while.

I'm slowly going to try to get back into the swing of things. Its been so long since I've put anything out here, I've lost my touch! ;) Stay tuned, I am sure good things are bound to come. And I'll apologize in advance for the boringness of the blog.. once I get back into the swing of things, I'm hoping it will be as entertaining as ever.. ;)

So, my dog has allergies. He's allergic to ragweed in the fall of all things to be allergic to. I guess it's pretty common, but still I feel so bad for the guy.. He's itchy, scratcy, cranky and downright bitchy. I've been feeding him Steroids for about a week now, and it seems to be getting a little better, but he's still biting a lot of his hair out and scratching like crazy. The poor thing. I've got some allergy tabs on order.. hopefully they will be here tomorrow. Poor puppy..

Forgotten music

So it has probably been ten years since I last put my Cranberries CD in (No Need to Argue). I have so forgotten how good this CD is. I've added it to my play-list.. I can't believe I forgot about it!

I do, however, think that I've strained my voice rocking out to Zombie on the way into work this morning. I was one of the freaks singing along to the radio while driving during rush hour this morning.

I also brought in my Nine Inch Nails CD (Pretty Hate Machine). Its actually not MINE, my cousin let me borrow it about 12 years ago.. I forgot to give it back to him. I haven't put it in yet, but I'm expecting to have that same "Oh yeah, this is a great CD!" reaction as well.

What are some albums that you've forgotten about, or haven't listened to for years, that you were at one time REALLY into?

Blog thoughts

So I've come to the conclusion that if I don't update this blog every day, I'll never keep up with this blog.
So, that being said, I'm thinking of doing themes for the day ...

For example:

Monday: weekend Recap day
Tuesday: Silly Kids
Wednesday: Simple minds
Thursday: ???
Friday: ???

And then I'll give it a rest on the weekends.

However I'm not sure what to write about, any ideas?

Suppose I should update

What me, procrastinate? Never.

I've got finals this week. I'll be so happy when I'm done with these classes. Tomorrow is my Business Statistics course, and then on Thursday I have a final in Music Appreciation. I like the Music Appreciation so much more than Statistics, but I'm looking forward to the Statistic final over the Music final. Less writing in the Stats Class. Regardless, after this week I'm done for a while. I've decided that I'm taking Winter quarter off. I'm away from home too much as it is, and this way I can at least spend my evenings with the husband and the kids. (**maybe even update my blog once in a while..**)

Tonight we have Daisy Scouts and Brownie Scouts. I'm a troop leader again this year for the Daisy Scouts, but really, its going better than last year already. I think going through this last year gave me an idea on what to do or not to do this year. Then again, this is only our second meeting.

What exciting things do you have going on this week?

Monkey George

We have a new babysitter. Its name is Monkey George.

Not only is she actually paying attention to the movie, she starts to act it out.

She proceeds to pop imaginary bubbles, giggle about fireflies, and yell out Oh no GEORGE! Whenever he seems to find himself in an ounce of trouble.

When we bought the movie, we also got a small stuffed George holding onto a bucket of popcorn or Hey! Corn! as Zoe likes to call it. The first thing she did was pull the popcorn out of his arms. However, when she is watching the movie, George must have his Hey! Corn! with him. She'll hold her arm out and say "Pause this!" and run back to her bedroom to get the Hey! Corn! out of her stash spot, then she'll enjoy the movie with George while preteneding to eat the Hey! Corn! out of the bucket.

Two years, seven months, and two days. Where did my baby go?

Crickets

chirping in my house
chirping in the cabinets
I really hate them

It's raining and other happenings..

I love it. Finally, we are cooling off. The heat has been insane for the last few weeks.
We have been trying to be creative with keeping cool, but its pretty much resorted to us staying inside with the air conditioning. We tried to play outside with the kids over the weekend. We set up the sprinkler in the front yard. They had a good time. But we only lasted about a half an hour. We just couldn't seem to keep cool.

To top it off, all the going in and out of the air conditioning has just made me sick. I've been suffering for 4 weeks now. I am tired of being sick. The doc gave me some steroidal nasal spray when I finally broke down and went to see him. Yesterday.

I'm feeling better today, but the side effects of the drug are killing me now. I've got jitters, real bad. But I do feel as though I have super strength. That part is cool. But the best part.. I can breath. Breathing is good.

We're heading to a friend's wedding this weekend. I am really looking forward to it. It will be the first wedding in about 3 years where I haven't been either pregnant, or we've had the whole crew with us. Don't get me wrong. Kids at weddings can be fun and ours are pretty well behaved. But its just going to be nice to actually have adult conversation throughout the night without someone pulling on my leg telling me that they are bored or having to have the constant fear that some drunk at the bar decides that tonight would be a great night for my 6 year old to learn how to drink a beer! (It IS Wisconsin after all..)

So, what are your plans for the first weekend in August? Anything exciting going on?
