Oh today was twice as much so!!!!
Dropped DJ off late again, but this time it was all my fault as I'd forgotten my hearing aid and realized it half aZy to school....and since one of my stops of the day was to get it cleaned then it was kinda sorta important!! So he ended up being 14 minutes late...poor kid, good thing he doesn't understand it all yet. On top of that, I had an auction meeting with the bookkeeper. So she and I chatted for a good half hour and she answered a tonne of questions for me and gave me a berg valuable resource binder.
Then we took off Avoning....first to the hearing aid place and while I was busy chatting Samantha used their bathroom and my hearing aid was off gettin a deep clean...MUCH needed too!! I was at full volume from the get go and that's not good!! Then we went and met two new clients and dropped their orders off. Love new people!! Andi love how excited they get to see me with their bags of goodies!!
In total we made 18 stops!! I miss football....it was nice to have 8 of my clients in one spot to deliver too !! We ate our lunch on the go. Samantha fought a nap, and was doing good til just when I thought she'd drifted off when Rudolph came on the radio snd perked her right up! She did eventually succumb to the nap for s bit.
We made it in time to get DJ picked up and the had 4 more stops before getting home finally. Belle was more than happy too see me too!! Got her taken care of and then put Rudolph on for the freshly washed children. Dinner was simple too...scratchy eggs (fried, sunny side up) and waffles for DJ.
They went to bed shortly after 8:30....and I was actually sitting and relaxing before 9 pm. What a treat!?
Now I'm fading between paragraphs...must.....be.....

The "Last of's" have begun
The last of 2011 that is!!
This morning I failed the back up alarm and embraced the lateness...
First alarm went off at 7 and I shut it off knowing the back up alarm was engaged. At 7:15 it went off and I shit it off. Set the phone down and next thing I knew it was 7:41!!!! SO not cool that the best sleep I got was between 7:15 and 7:41... Not cool at all!! So instead of having a conniption about it, I just went about our morning calmly...if we were gonna be tardy, be seriously tardy!! Oh and we were!!! We rolled jn at 8:44....which realistically to get 3 people up, dressed, fed, dogs taken care of, and cats fed, AND a 20 minute ride....its pretty damn impressive to do in an hour!!!
From the school we went to SVEC to drop books. It was sparse for people what with the holidays coming. But we got outta there in record time. Then we went to the last ballet class of 2011...but waited an hour in the parking lot for class. Samantha has Alvin on and was happy. I just played Angry Birds.
After class we picked up the 4 pizzas waiting for us and headed to the shed before heading home for lunch. My Avon was waiting for me on the front porch do as soon as I was done eating I got down to business. It didn't look like much, but there were so many small items it took me 2 hours to break it all down. Then I got busy making the 7th batch of caramel corn on the go before doing the sketti sauce for dinner. Samantha was my lil helper with dinner and dishes!!
DJ finally got home st 4:30 and came in the house long enough to per and then he was out the door to play. SamSam followed him to the tee.
Dinner was a struggle for DJ who'd had a muffin after school...what a fight!! In the end it made us late for Awana. Everyone was in a festive mood...including me! I look forward to the 2 week break!! We got home s s both kids were put right to bed...with minimal fight too! Then I got my chores done before sitting and knitting. I watched most if Barbara Walters 10 most fascinating people. It was good...s sure sign I'm gettin older. Then it was Survivor and Brandon was and idiot of you ask me!!! Psych was good as usual...but I'm bummed I had to wait toil February.
Oh DJ got his first report card and I'm pleased as punch!!! :)

Blogging from bed
Sure has its perks!!! It's warm. It's comfortable. It's warm. It's dark. It's warm. Seeing the pattern here?? I don't think I've been this cold since j moved here 9 years ago!!! It's bone chilling cold!! This morning after we dropped DJ off at school, Sam and I headed to Freddy's to get some more butter and brown sugar for more caramel corn. Plus we needed a couple other things. Then we headed back home to eat breakfast. The first batch went in at 10:30! Pretty impressive if you ask me...and I know you were!!
Samantha was cold too and was snuggling in Howie's chair with a blanket on here to get warm. Having the oven on sure helped me!! Second batch went in at 11:45 and I made us lunch while it was in its last 15 minute segment. Third batch went in at 1 and I was feelin pretty proud of myself!! I even got the dishes in the dishwasher!! The last batch was done at 2 and while it cooled I went and got ready to go get DJ from school. Whew!! I was kinda sad to turn the oven off truth be told...
We got back and the kids tried to go next door with no luck as they werent home. Drats!!! I wanted a power nod!! Instead I got to sit with SamSam and watch Dora... Shortly after 4 tho I hopped in the shower to get ready to go to an Avon party. Howie came home and he put on a Christmas movie and we watched til I had to leave.
The party was at a Chinese buffet place. Had a lot of fun too!! It Wa a short meeting playing bingo and drawing names. I got some good stuff!!! With it ending early I got home far earlier than expected....Howie was still up...not for long tho. I got busy with my chores and got to go finally sit at 10:30.
I watched Glee and loved it!!
ESP the nod to the Sound of music!! Then New Girl was hilarious!!! And Raising Hope was pleased too!! Both were festive!!
Ok my eyes are drooping shut...sorry of there were any typos...

You're a mean one
Mr Grinch!!
Well, last nite was NOT stellar by any means! I woke up at 5:08 in the chair with DJ, and my glasses still on...and since I smelled coffee brewing, we got up and went to bed!! OH what a glorious feeling that was!!!!! Not sure I was awake enough to full enjoy it as I was asleep pretty fast again! This time with the glasses off! Thankfully it was after 8 when DJ woke for the day...and Sam was right behind him! Stupidly, the tv wasn't left on their channel and DJ hasn't quite mastered hitting 1-1-8 to get Sprout...so the entertained themselves on the computer...which was loud enough for me to sing along...oy!
I languished in bed as long as possible checking stuff out on my phone...they both came to visit me and we talked about what we were going to do today...how many more sleeps til Grandma and Poppa were here....how many more sleeps til santa comes....and chitchat stuff. Then I got up and made us all breakfast! Since they weren't motivated enough to get their clothes on, we kinda took it easy for the morning. I did send them downstairs to get the toys picked up so I could vacuum before my parents come....and while they were doing that I made another batch of carmel corn...this is number 4 if you're counting! Sheesh!! I've used up all the butter that was left over from February when we started South Beach...need more as I want to make 2 more batches of the stuff.
Then the kids got dressed and we headed out to the shed to do the books...man was it cold out!!!! I keep hearing something about "frozen fog" in our weather...it's been extremely foggy the past couple weeks....so much so, it hasn't cleared up for entire days!!! It's palpable! So as it's hanging there, its freezing in the air and falling on the ground...or something bizarre like that! How does one dress for freezing fog!?!? lol
We got back and had lunch...then baths...and then the gingerbread house was to be done! Promises were made and I kept them!!! Thankfully I'd bought a pre-made house!! I didn't realize that til the other day and was ever so pleased with myself!!! I mean, really, who can get that thing to stay put in the right position and let it dry before decorating! Thank you middle man!!! We had fun tho!! I took pix, but haven't uploaded them...I know, I still owe Halloween pix...I'm bad! That's why that 365 blog suffered....yeah....lol
About 3:45 we headed to the park to run Belle's energy off...and Snickers too for that matter!! K joined us and the 3 of them had a good time playing around while the dogs chased each other...I could only handle a half hour as I was freezing in the fog!!!! Michaela came with C and stayed with the kids while I took the dogs home. That was a pleasant 15 minutes til Howie got home from work. So we chit chatted and they came home about 5 just like little popsicles!! DJ's nose has been running clear all day, so that's a good sign! And tonite he's only woken once and went back to bed fairly easily.
After dinner we watched movies...I started off with The Grinch (the animated version) and the kids both told me it was too scary as they'd tried to watch it last nite...so with me sitting with them, we found funny things to laugh at while watching it...and they learned that its not scary at all! The music is a lil on the scary side, but we hugged that out. Then they watched Goofy Christmas instead of getting books in bed...works fine for me!!
Once they were in bed, Howie and I put on Fear Factor...IT'S BAAAACK!!! Been off the air for about 4 years now, and its back with a vengeance!!! Tonite there was two episodes, so Howie and I watched the first one together....there really isn't enough money in the world to make me do the eating stunts....just grosses me out!! And the second one was no better!!!! Also, how on earth do some of those stunts only take 5 minutes!!?!?!? They look exhausting!!!! Howie went to bed after the first one and I watched my regular Monday sitcoms...2 Broke Girls is just the funniest!!!! 2.5 Men was okay...kinda lame really. And Mike & Molly was hilarious!
I'm off to bed now that DJ has made his nightly appearance...please God let him stay in his own bed!
Til next time...God bless!

Mr. Scrooge Hughes
This weekend has flown by!! I haven't much time as I'm on the phone and have a sleeping DJ on me. He's suffering from a sinus infection I managed to avoid last week...and he's miserable and pitiful!! He's woken twice already tonite which is how we ended up in my chair. He's got yellow from his eyes, nose and throat. Gave him some meds and I hope that they let him sleep well. I know I won't...
Yesterday was quiet as we stuck close to home. Howie got the last of the lights up and they look awesome!!! But come time to head to church for the Country Christmas parade and Scrooge made his appearance. So SamSam and I headed into town to drop off the desserts I'd signed up for. Then we paid Ben a visit and I used my last gift certificate up. Found some Angry Birds Gummies for the kids too. Then we stopped at the dollar store to get freezer bags for the 20 lbs of ground beef we got. Then home to make and eat dinner. DJ didn't eat as his "neck" hurt...aka his throat. Plus he was mildly fevered.
As everyone was watching a movie I headed to Panera to do the run. Back home after 10 and I watched a corny Christmas movie.
This morning I was informed we weren't going to church so I stayed in bed til 10!!! So nice!!! Since we had no plans we all puttered Howie outside and me in the kitchen. Jake came over and had a lunch visit. We all enjoyed that!! He left at 4 for work.
We had a yummy dinner and then I took a shower. But before I got in, locked the door and did a gift inventory. I do believe, with the exception of Jake, I'm done!!!! Let the wrapping begin!! So once everyone was tucked in, I did just that!!
Now I'm gonna try and sleep a bit before Howie gets up for work. Oh joy!!

TGIF
This morning since DJ didn't have school I got to sleep in til Howie needed to starts getting ready for work So lovely!!! And warm!!! And quiet, he took Belle with him! I got up and made us some eggs...the kids pretended to be hobbits and have a second breakfast....they each wanted an egg with us. I haven't done 8 eggs fried before, and won't be doing that many at a time again!! Wow! DJ didn't Luke his as the yolk was cooked....SamSam ate all the whites but not the yellow. At least she ate something. Howie left as soon as he was done eating.
I then tethered myself to the computer as it was an Avon morning!! In order to get it before Christmas, today as the day! I'd sent out emails, text messages and a few phone calls...the started coming in too!! I got an email at 11:58 from a new client...and it made me late...so I released the tension, fed the kids, got another order and finally submitted by 12:45. I hate being late!!!
I ate my lunch and continued being a referee!! I swear!! One of the new clients I was on the phone with thot I ran a daycare...yikes! I finally spent some more time working on the Christmas cards I've been putting off. Especially the Canadian ones!! So I worked on them first!!
Belle was being such a pill I put her on the trolley and let her be. Thankfully the sun was shining and it was cold and dry. About 4 we coated up and took the dogs to the park. They ran and chased each other with glee!! It got dark SO fast I couldn't even see the ball I was throwing...but they kept on bringing it back to me!! After a half hour we headed home...it got colder with the darkness.
Dinner was leftover sketti, well first time for me!! It was delicious too!! Then the antsy waiting started for DJ...we invited K to sleep over and they weren't home yet. So while we waited I got started on some caramel corn. I learned a very valuable lesson...dark brown sugar does NOT melt like light does!!! And it didn't melt properly to coat all the popcorn. Still tasty, just different!! K finally came and my two went a lil crazy!! He went home to get his dinner and brought it back to eat here. When they were dine I put in Frist the Snowman which was recording tonite. They finally were quiet!!
Howie came home and ate dinner and went to bed before the kids!! Samantha was next and went right to sleep. The boys were a bit tougher!! They took a food half hour, if not longer to settle. Both had to pee...both needed water...both tattles on the other...such fun!! Finally they got quiet and I got to watch tv!! Nothing good on tonite, so I relied on the DVR....Psych and then Eureka. Psych was funny!!!! And Eureka was different. Now I'm worn out and should get to bed!!

Going, going GONE!!!
This morning we hustled buns to get to school on time....more so for me than for DJ...and we got there with 5 minutes to spare....but I'm beginning to think the schools' clock runs fast...they were doing announcements almost as soon as we got in the office!! It didn't take us that long to walk in either! So Sam and I waited til they were all done and the tardy slips had all been handed out....there was one kid who was going for gold and this was his 4th tardy slip of the week...and there's no school tomorrow...yikes!! Most were because of the train tho....they have a brutal schedule!!
About 8:45 we were finally seen by the principal and secretary...no, it was nothing bad....I've agreed to take on the position of running the auction, so today was the first informational meeting and my assignment is now to write up a blurb introducing myself and it'll go in next week's Knightly News. OH, and they told me to use humour....like that'll be a problem!!! ha! The whole meeting lasted a half hour and we've set up another one for next week and I should have concrete names and numbers of people who will be helping me too....as well as a budgetary plan. I've got 5 thousand to use, and it gets tight I'm told! They haven't met Missy Budget Hughes yet!! I'll show 'em! I hope!
When we got home I brought a muddy Belle in from outside...she refused to go potty this morning before we left and I didn't have any more time to waste waiting on her, so I put her on the trolley while we were gone so I wouldn't have a shitty mess to come home to...literally! Instead I had a black pawed dog who'd been digging when she shouldn't have been...but bored puppies do that! OY!! Got her cleaned up and then both of them fed. I also kept on with the laundry and conquered Mount Washmore! The last load is in the dryer! All has been put away except for that load and one of the kids' loads...not too shabby!!!
The day whisked away from us...C came over to play with SamSam again, even tho she's been a pill all day, she perks up when she has someone to play with. I got more of the counter crap dealt with and planned a dinner for us...cheesy pesto chicken, butternut squash and broccoli! We took off at 2:40 to get DJ from school and made an unscheduled stop at the gas station as Miss Samantha could not possibly hold it one more minute apparently!! AND she'd gone right before we left the house!! Talk about tiny bladder! Yowza!
We got home and DJ went in search of the boys to play with...after a while outside, they all came over here and played....I'd already had Sam in the bath and was washing her when they came in. Got her done and then bathed DJ while she played with the boys....then I came out of the bathroom and it's pitch black in our house...they're playing hide and seek in the dark!! With flashlights no less! Yeah, not happening! Even got a call from Lara asking if the kids were still here as it was so dark in our house....ha! They continued to play while I got dinner going and waited on Howie to come home. He left work an hour late, but made it in good time traffic wise!
After dinner it was my turn to get cleaned up...since the kids were already in their jammies, it was one less thing to worry about. When I got out we brushed teeth right away, read a couple books and tucked them in without a fight! Love that! I sat down and watched the last 15 minutes of X Factor and wasn't that surprised that Rachel was voted off....I really think Melanie will win the whole thing! Just a hunch. Then Howie went to bed and I got his lunch ready for tomorrow....yesterday I forgot....I made the salad, but forgot to add the rest of it to his lunch area in the fridge...good thing its all right there for him to grab easy!
I then watched BBT which was funny!!!! And yet real, about bullies and when they grow up! Then Rules of Engagement, which is just a filler really...funny, but in a "groan" kind of way. Whitney tho was hilarious!!! And since the regular programming is on holidays, I watched Revenge from last nite and enjoyed it. Then I dozed off....DJ joined me in my chair...we dozed together for a half hour and then I sent him back to bed. Now I'm off to join him in la la land!
Til next time...God bless!

We got home and DJ went in search of the boys to play with...after a while outside, they all came over here and played....I'd already had Sam in the bath and was washing her when they came in. Got her done and then bathed DJ while she played with the boys....then I came out of the bathroom and it's pitch black in our house...they're playing hide and seek in the dark!! With flashlights no less! Yeah, not happening! Even got a call from Lara asking if the kids were still here as it was so dark in our house....ha! They continued to play while I got dinner going and waited on Howie to come home. He left work an hour late, but made it in good time traffic wise!
After dinner it was my turn to get cleaned up...since the kids were already in their jammies, it was one less thing to worry about. When I got out we brushed teeth right away, read a couple books and tucked them in without a fight! Love that! I sat down and watched the last 15 minutes of X Factor and wasn't that surprised that Rachel was voted off....I really think Melanie will win the whole thing! Just a hunch. Then Howie went to bed and I got his lunch ready for tomorrow....yesterday I forgot....I made the salad, but forgot to add the rest of it to his lunch area in the fridge...good thing its all right there for him to grab easy!
I then watched BBT which was funny!!!! And yet real, about bullies and when they grow up! Then Rules of Engagement, which is just a filler really...funny, but in a "groan" kind of way. Whitney tho was hilarious!!! And since the regular programming is on holidays, I watched Revenge from last nite and enjoyed it. Then I dozed off....DJ joined me in my chair...we dozed together for a half hour and then I sent him back to bed. Now I'm off to join him in la la land!
Til next time...God bless!
