One goes down!

And that would be me! I have a good excuse for not keeping up last week. Flat on my back for 2 and 1/2 days with a cold/flu. Not so cool. I HATE being sick, and yes I know that nobody likes it, but I really get pissy when I'm sick. Tuesday I started feeling crappy at work, so I left early. The minute I walked in the door, mom, dad, Logan, Kevin and Clara all headed to Gibson's for the night. That was great. Jordan had come home early from school complaining of a tummy ache. So, he took the couch and I hit the bed. Jordan was feeling much better by the time that Dean came home, but not me. I stayed in bed all night. Wednesday I got up, got my makeup on, did my hair, got dressed and headed into the kitchen. Then it hit me again. I got all hot and sweaty (and not in the good hot and sweaty way..lol) and Dean looks at me and orders me back to bed. I stayed in bed until Thursday morning. By then I was just bored of being in bed and kept thinking about all the work that was waiting for me at work. So, although I didn't feel great, I went in. I didn't get my appetite back until Sunday. But then that's something that won't kill me!!

Last weekend I pitched my very first game in softball. Why? I have no idea, but it's something that I always wondered if I could do. So I gave it a shot. I only walked one person. I was pretty proud of myself. Dean said that I did well, however, he also said that there is no way in hell I'm gonna pitch in spring ball. To be honest, I don't think I'm brave enough. Winterball is one thing, especially playing with a sponge ball, but in spring/summer ball, that ball comes off the bat way to hard and fast, and I'd be terrified. So, I pitched again yesterday, got my first strike out, and first win as a pitcher. Sure, I'm just getting the hang of it, and winterball is over next weekend. Hmmmm....I wonder if I should try it in spring ball??

Kevin and Clara spent last week with us. It was a great visit and the kids all had fun. I wish that we all lived closer, cause Jordan and Clara are so close. We'll try and get down to see them next month though.

Tara, I'm really sorry that I missed the card night. It sounds like you guys got alot done. What happens now?

Well, have a good week everyone, and I'll update when I have something more exciting to talk about.

What a birhday present!!

This is my birthday present from my wonderful husband. Yes, the car I've been eyeing for over a year now. 2006 Nissan Altima with only 28,000 km's on it. I guess Dean was trying to top the Disneyland trip for my last birthday. Yes, I'd say he succeeded!! Thanks honey! I love it!

Friday was a quiet, mommy and Logan day. We went shopping, read books and played. That night Uncle Chad took Jordan for a sleepover. They of course, played PS2 until way to late, but Jordan had a great time. Saturday night, Uncle Chad took Dean and I out for dinner. We just went to this little pub, watched the hockey game and had some appies! Then we went over to his place to play cards. We had fun!

Sunday was a double header and we won both games! Surprise, surprise!! That afternoon the kids wanted to go for a drive in the new car, so we did, and then relaxed the rest of the day.

For the wonderful ladies who I am going on a road trip with this summer, never fear. This car has lots of room, and VERY comfortable. We can still take it on the trip!!!

Oh yeah....I'm no longer a soccer mom!!!!

Back to Newfoundland

Dean's parents left to go back to Newfoundland on Sat morning. What a trip they had. When they got to Deer Lake, it was very stormy and had quite a rough landing. Apparently the plane came down with a thud and then went sideways. You all know my fear of flying? Well, Dean's dad's fear is even worse. So I can just imagine how he was feeling. Anyways, they were to spend that night at a family member's place and then take the bus back to Stephenville the next afternoon. Well, it was too stormy to go, and the roads were closed. They tried again Monday and got as far as Cornerbrook then the bus wouldn't go any farther. The spend the night at their nephew's and finally got home Tues around 11am. I'm sure that they were totally exhausted, but very glad to be home. 2 months is a long time to be away. I think that the kids miss them, and hopefully withing 2 years we will see them again. You know, something's just not right about that. Seeing your parents every 2 years? I couldn't imagine going 2 months let alone 2 years.

As usual it's been a busy week. Between me hitting the gym 3 times a week, and the kids activities, the days just fly by. I can't even imagine what it's going to be like once Logan gets into all the activities the Jordan's in. I guess my new job will be taxi driver.

Logan's had a bad cold all week and complaining of a sore tummy. Thank goodness he will take his cough syrup at night and can pretty well go all night without coughing.

My birthday's coming up on Sat, so I think that Dean and I are going to try and go out for dinner, then maybe head over to Chad's to play cards. We had gone to Dave and Debbie's house last Sat night to play cards with them and Sue and Mur, and had a great time! It was so nice playing cards with 6 people that all knew how to play.

Anyways...staying true to my word about posting once a week, I did, even though it's not too exciting. Hopefully the next post will be a little more exciting!!
