Groupon/Christmas SCORE!!

So EXCITED!! Over the summer I took this adorable picture of my son and nephew while we went on a mini vacation.

Im terrible at printing photos out... Scratch that. I am TERRIBLE at removing photos from any of the 10 or so memory cards floating around our home which drives my Nicholas bonkers =)

Anyways... My parents are ridiculous Christmas present recievers. They don't want anything and anything they need or mention they have already purchased and are waiting for it to be delivered =( Boo. But what they don't have is a fancyish picture of their grandsons hanging on their wall. And by fancyish I just mean BIG. So I looked around and contacted a gentleman who reproduces photos into handpainted art. Although his work is quite handsome, his quote was a little off the mark. $400 for a simple portrait and more depending on background detail. And that was for a smallish canvas. Double Boo.

So along this journey I decided that a suitable way would be a canvas print. So armed with my Costco card I logged on to their site to review prices. Relieved at the $59.99 tag I settled in this evening to upload and purchase. And in doing so I was naturally sidetracked by my "dashboard". Perusing through the updates I so fabulously stumbled upon Groupon's Cedar Rapids Deal of the DAY!!!!
$39.99 for a 16x20 Canvas Print via CafePress
And did I mention this includes shipping. Which saves me from packing it and shipping it off to the east coast!!!! Seriously??!! What fabulous luck is that =)

The things you can do with an extra hour

So if you haven't heard yet today, in 49 states, is Daylight Savings. So as we turned our clocks back an hour early this a.m. we find ourselves in the position of expected productivity.

Along with having an extra hour to toy around with, I had this WHOLE weekend basically to myself. Shane was with his father and Nick was away at work and had a session scheduled for Sunday. On Saturday I went up to Sac and visited with one of my favorite pregnant ladies. We baked while counting contractions but alas Miss Lily did not make her debut in time for cookies and milk =(

Later Saturday evening while heading back home I stopped at a mall on the way home to get my fingers around some torino syrups so I can experiment with my new espresso machine!! Which I TOTALLY love and should have got years ago instead of just thinking about it. Thank goodness sbux raised their prices otherwise I probably would have been shoveling the occasional $3.50 away <3 But unfortunately I couldn't find one of the four flavors I was looking for so I decided not to buy any. I punish myself, go figure. While I was at the mall I just couldn't believe how many people where EVERYWHERE. And now that I think about it, it isn't just the malls its Target and Safeway and everywhere else I go. I guess I don't get out much, well I know I don't get out much. Good Lord.

Today I got all the loose ends snipped off my list that I've been putting off for awhile including a bin thats been piling up with "to be filed". I pulled everything out of the fridge and freezer and cleaned and reorganized, same with the pantry and hall closet!! I just keep opening up doors to peek in, it makes me that happy!!!! And I dusted and Costco'd and gassed up my car! And I burned candles so my house smells so warm and cozy!!! I caught up on my girls in ATL and the yummiest hamburgers for dinner and lunches are packed for tomorrow! Feels so good to still have energy after its all said and done!!!

Worst Mother EVER

I feel like the worst mother EVER! My son's school, as most school's do, is involved in a fundraiser. No cookie dough, no chocolate bars. But they are offering crabtree lotions and 1/2lb bags of gummy bears for $8.50!!!! That translates to $17 a lb??? Magazine subscriptions are $10 for 1/2 a year and $20 for a whole year?? This is OUTRAGEOUS.

I don't even want to buy anything from my own kid, but he is bound and determined to sell 100 items so he can get one of each of the selected prizes. He was hounding us last night to look at the magazine and decide. Not to mention that in our little community there are approx 20 kids who go to the SAME SCHOOL. I guess I never realized growning up how ridiculous these companies prices are.

I don't see this going well especially since min $850 is going to get him a mini cooler...

Whoot Whoot!!

Whoot Whoot!! Snagged a great deal IMO @ Home Depot this evening.

Since we moved into our place 6/7 months ago I have ached for a way to organize our hall closet. Mainly a home for our coats it has also adapted to storing the bulk of our larger/bulk Costco items. I LOVE the fact that I know that I can buy toilet paper twice a year! In fact in 7months we have only dipped into half of our paper towel reserves!! But alas buying in bulk requires accommodating storage space. And because of this it pains me to look in this closet and after most of our shopping trips drinks and heavier items sit outside the closet until room is made =(

So today on a whim I presented the idea of metal shelving iced with a trip to Home Depot. After I researched Sunday hours of our local store as well as shelving/organization solutions offered. We set out on our way.

As we lapped around the store, we finally found what I hoped to be our solution. We decided on one three shelf unit and one four. The three shelf unit was, as their website suggested, $19.99. While the four stated $29.99 for the black(metal) unit but $59.99 for the stainless steel version=0/
Although I would prefer for the two units to match how could I pass up a $30 price difference? So me being me, checked and rechecked item number on the box to item number listed on the tag. Knowing deep down inside that once we got to the register there was bound to be a price issue. So as we checked out I literally had my fingers crossed that there wouldn't be an issue. Talk about a Negative Nancy. And low and behold the black four unit shelf rang up for....


$15.00!!!!


I am so excited to start filling up those shelves since my honey was so awesome and put it altogether for me even taking into consideration what might be stored on each shelf and adjusting the shelves accordingly!!

So as we enter wk4 of 2nd grade...

So as we are entering wk4 of 2nd grade, 13 days under our belt. A new backpack has already been purchased. Good Lord Walmart you drive me nuts. I hear time and time again from other mommies and girlfriends alike that they save at Walmart. Pshhh I have never spent more money on junk and wasted more time trying to find it either. NO ONE knows where anything is. Not the customers and certainly not the employees who horizontally park the carts they're working on down every other aisle. I am no retail genius but with common courtesy under my belt along with a few years maneuvering tight corners at BedBath&Beyond I would love to fill their ears with customer service etiquette.
I could go on FOREVER, literally.
But again, the backpack. So I love back to school time. Sharpened pencils, smooth folders, paints, markers, shiny new shoes.  I love every aspect. Could go back to those years of time served at Office Depot too. And armed with my love for all things back to school and my desire to at least think Im doing the right thing with my dollar I head to the dreaded Wally World. Their selection, which is becoming a noticeable trend, was less then lacking. There was NOTHING to pick from. No fun character folders, nor matching notebooks. Merely a single aisle up front of glue sticks, pencils, crayons and markers. I was actually surprised with how disappointed I was. Total let down =( Leaving with hardly the bare essentials we headed to the registers when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a small backpack display. I let the little one pick his fav and we headed on our way.
Cut to the second day of school when the front zipper totally broke. I have fiddled with it and finally decided that velcro at the top would be the the simplest solution as I am a sewing novice and zipper ignorant. Now fast forward to day 11 when the zipper of the main compartment busted. I know my son tests the life of all products that find themselves in his care but this, this is not his fault. Poor kid. How sad=(
So Walmart, you faceless beast of overfilled carts, screaming children and a bleach spill on aisle 213, I will sleep well tonight knowing I can blame you.

*New/old backpack was buried today upon a bed of coffee grounds and leftovers and New/new backpack is sitting patiently by the door awaiting Tuesdays morning rush out the door.

Stuffed Chicken

So on tonights menu...

Chicken breasts stuffed with Spinach, Feta and Pine Nuts along side couscous and steamed broccoli.

No recipe to follow just heard via a magazine at work about this Chicken and threw the above items together with some olive oil, fresh garlic and seasoned with salt and pepper. Originally I was going to slice and pocket the Chick Breasts but they were already on the thin side so they were pounded to approx 1/4" thick by my love since I have delicate wrists 0=)

The couscous was a hit with the child who could have carried less about the chicken, which might I add his was plain. And as usual the broccoli quickly disappeared!

iPhones don't float

Who would have guessed that iPhones don't float. I can't swim so why should I expect my phone too right?
Despite the total bummer of the situation the play by play is rather entertaining to me and most likely TMI for anyone else...

So, I was bringing in the latest Costco load (alone) when I had the urge ;0) to use the restroom. With my phone in the worst place possible (my back pocket) I headed into the bathroom. What is actually so funny to me is that at first I heard a THUD, and I was freaking out as I was bending, over that the lid of the toilet had fallen down and I was about to go on the lid. Which would be a fabulous story and horrendous mess. But in fact as I stood up and looked down it was my sweet lil phone =0( So very sad. I, pantless, am now running around my house trying to figure out what to do and QUICK. I found our canned air and started to spray. Then propped it up along with my blow dryer on cool setting for what seemed like ever. And in doing so realized what an annoying sound the blow dryer makes, poor N at 6am. So 24+ hrs later it turns on and alerts me of various alertables but alas the touch screen function (basically the soul of the phone) is unresponsive.

Decisions, decisions. N wants to unscrew the back of the phone and lurk around since you can see water streaks through the screen he assumes the warranties already void. But IDK. And suck is life

So instead of the fair

So instead of the fair today we decided to actually USE our Six Flags passes and venture into "Marine World." It was a beautiful day  and Im not sure if it was because today was the last day for the county fair or what but the crowds were at a minimum and we didn't miss it one bit!

And we were SUPER excited to find out that there were two new additions to the Dolphin pool!! How absolutely precious!!!!

The boys had a lot of fun messing around on the bumper cars!

And we have never seen as many Butterflies as there were today in the Butterfly Exhibit

My handsome guy!!

As if this day couldn't have been more beautiful, we are being doubly blessed with this amazing cool evening. Dining on our balcony and enjoying the sweet breeze!

So turns out doing the dishes ain't so bad after all.

So this evening, as every evening in the history of man and woman, I made dinner. Dun dun dunnn... Along with dinner comes dirty dishes, and although I don't mind doing dishes per say, on this particular night I got to thinking. Hmmm I thought up dinner, I prepared dinner (and I did ask for help but was promptly declined) I even made dinner "appear" on the table. So cleverly with grin attached I simply threw out that perhaps "HE" should do the dishes. In which aforementioned "HE" thought I was joking. Ha, no. Which was followed by mild complaints from the one who dished up thirds to my single portion. "Doing dishes makes my back hurt" WAIT! What? Shoot, why hadn't I thought of that one growing up?? "Sorry Dad, you know I want to but this fifth grade homework is a real killer and my back just can't take standing at the sink." Pshh I know why I hadn't thought of (at least) saying that one out loud. Uhm.. Because I wanted to be ALIVE. But apparently I don't evoke that same fear into my partner. So I shot back some off handed remarks of the things that I really just can't do because they hurt my back too now that I think of it. *Remarks that are just totally inappropriate outside of our two earshot's.

He not thinking that I was too funny started his whole "You don't understand how difficult my job is and standing for long periods of time kill my back..."

On a side note. He works very hard and his job is LABOR intensive. Bottom line I could never do it, like EVER. I don't want to, I don't have to and Im NEVER gonna. But lets face it when have I ever not had something to say?

So back to our discussion on dishes, which he is in fact doing during this moment of "communication". Directly behind me is our kitchen table. Seated at our kitchen table is the seven year old who on average takes about TWO HOURS to finish dinner, breakfast in five minutes but dinner is almost ALWAYS two hours. So like I was saying, behind me is the seven year old who at this moment is getting up from the table. And then I hear it. That cough, the cough EVERY mother knows. The cough the includes food and lots of it. So now lets just say his hands are full. I already know what happened before I even have to turn around. I transplant the child to our lovely simple human (garbage can) and turn to "HE" aka Nick and let him know that I can do the dishes!!! He says "No, that's all right. I got this"

=( So from my view, which is all fours on the carpet scrub brush in hand. Dishes. Eh, dishes ain't so bad.

To Fair or not to fair...

Growing up every Summer my family would visit the fair, whether it be our own counties fair or one in the various other counties my mother worked in. But the memories alone of walking with my family exploring all the sights, sounds, smells and of course carnies bring a smile to my face. As a child I hated being slowly dragged through the long, boring and SMELLY animal exhibits. Staring at the stinky cows that just stood there batting flies with their tales. The pigs sprawled out in a corner of their pin and the sheep standing in line to have their coats sheared. Oh gosh it was HORRIBLE, but for some ungawdly reason my mother lived for this EVERY summer.

And as this too is burned into my cerebral cortex I find myself drawn to dragging my child(ren) down this very same road. Im not sure if it is the addicting waft or the need to offer a "because I had too when I was your age" experience that draws, a mother, to force her children to enjoy. Although my mother was more along the lines of "outdoorsy, tomboy" and more then likely dreampt of the thrills of living the life that is the farm. I am more of a "cotton candy nail polish with a splash of picnic at the park" kinda mom. I think it comes down to bringing your children to experiences that you may/can not normally take your children too. And although we have a cute as a button farm here in this itty bitty city by the bay, it does not house the lengths that are offered at our local county fair.

Growing up the fair was quite the affair, lasting in lengths of up to two weeks as memory recalls. And boasting several incentive days in which fair admission and "unlimited ride" wristbands were discounted. But clearly times have changed. I noticed just yesterday that our local fair was in town... For only FOUR DAYS! What?Along with that news was the cost. While we have season passes to the Theme Park directly across the street, which basically brings the cost to practically nothing to visit (after initial purchase) a visit to the fair for the day will set our little family back roughly $76 before anyone gets thirsty or even dare to smell cinnamon rolls. With wrist bands starting at $25 each, in which we will inevitably only purchase two (one for Shane of course and one for Nick so he can accompany Shane on rides that are larger), admission comes to $20 for our family of three and $6 parking. And to think all I wanted to do was look at some livestock.

So I've been juggling this idea in my head for a couple days now. Planning our weekend and seeing what day (granted there are now only two to choose from) would be best to go to the fair. I just keep thinking about this $100+ Im going to spend. True they offer a firework display, and there is no argument that fireworks are cool. But we will most likely go on Sunday translating to no fireworks for us because it isn't even dark out until after 9pm and we are "like totally" NOT staying out that late =) So... $100? Really?? That is until I had this fabulous thought. "Doesn't Napa have a fair?" Why yes, yes they do! And it happens to be the following weekend. Although we have plans for that weekend, the starting date is Thursday, July 1st. Which also happens to be a discounted admission date bringing that total to $6 for us. And on their website they boast advance ticket sales where the cost of their wristbands are are discounted $10 to only $15 each!! With that and parking we are looking at $41 before snacking our way through the midway!!!! And "this" makes me very happy, which lets face it, that alone ensures us all a good time!!

Oh Poo!

Very excited for this coming SUMMER!!! Shane is going to be very busy taking swim lessons, cooking lessons and involved in a few summer camps. I'm swallowing the pill... I mean bill since I have to pay upfront for the ENTIRE summer. But what do you do?
If only their website was accurately reflecting their catalog!! BOO somethings are still better of left in person I suppose...

Little Bundles

I am surrounded by babies. At work, at play and while I SLEEP. I am constantly dreaming that friends of mine are preggo. I even had two dreams IN A ROW that I was with child, the second more real then the first. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely amazing and surreal but where is this all coming from?
I'm inclined to assume that this is my mental self letting me know that I am ready. Only time shall tell.

Dear OPI...

You have frustrated me recently with your trickery and clever names. You've had me hooked for years. From "you're a pisa work" to "I'm a princess, you're not" How could I not desire to take you home with me? Bottle after $9 bottle I collect you, desire you... But you have let me down. Your oh so friendly website designed to help me find the "perfect" shade on a pale computer digitalized hand sending me off to the nearest store with false hopes will happen no more...

I follow a handful of "budget conscious" sites and stumbled upon an article about a drugstore brand of polish in a shade that I too desire. The Budget Babe posted an article earlier this week and a comment from a reader stuck with me. This particular reader mentioned "China Glaze" and a shade they had comparable to the one in the article. So I of course googled this brand and today found myself staring at their line in a local Sally's. This Sally's did not happen to carry the shade of lilac known as Light as Air from China Glazes "Up and Away" line that the one reader fell in love with. Slightly disappointed the signage announcing a sale (B2G1free) kept me interested. I decided to try another brand entirely, Finger Paint, because well their name and the shape of the bottle is cute.

My total at the counter came to$9.19 after tax. For three bottles. So like I was saying...

Dear OPI
You have frustrated me...
It's over (for now)

Spring

The weather has been beautiful and we have been taking full advantage of a popular little park close to us. I honestly had no idea how LARGE this park was until I went for a walk with a friend. HUGE.



Shane has you can tell is a "look what I can do" pro! Until his little hands get worn out, that is.

And when Shane isn't doing his thing on the playground you can be sure he is putting his best face forward on the green (grass that is)



-MUAH

Yesterday was the most wonderful day

Truly wonderful. I dropped Shane off at school, while noticing how incredibly challenging his new school will be in regards to drop off/pick up since we drive by that school to get to his current one. That was the first task for the day, then Nick and I headed to the grocery store to tackle my "little" list, silly boy grabbed a hand basket... I grabbed a cart.

Then picked up a donut!!! Haha and zoomed over to BCC and ordered a strawberry shortcake latte. WHAT?!?! I prefer things a little less sweet but with a name like that I had to try. Not sure what they used but I did notice "cupcake," "strawberry" and "chocolate cookie dough" syrups added to their collection. Crazy.

After the car was unloaded by my love and put away by none other then myself. I found myself back in the car en route to Napa for my HAIR!! Nothing dramatic except for conversation! Then back home and immediately off to Concord for lunch. In the meantime I received a call from Shane's Father. It was his weekend but he was out the area and asked if he could pick up Shane Saturday instead of Friday. So YEA me!!

Then after our late lunch we drove back, got Shane, then picked up Super Mario for Wii and a new pink controller for mommy!

And then... I know... We went to the Cement slide and hiked up a hill that over looks Lake Herman and smashed confetti eggs to smithereens. So fun.

We played Mario until (someone got too aggressive) it was time for bed and then the grownups watched Precious.

And I have a new lens in the mail...

Cheese!! No.. not like that. No, more natural...

No not that either...


From the Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday at North Hills. So many eggs, so quickly hunted. They divided the children into groups by grade and sectioned off the hunts and from what I could gather no bumps or bruises either. So all around score!! They started the festivities with a puppet show that did a successful job at bringing the importance of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and rising from the tomb and living in each and everyone of us. The story of Jesus's death and resurrection always gives me chills even when delivered from a puppets "lips

I just spent $7.70 at Sbux...

So we have just recently moved and in the fashion of practical adults we were trying to budget our utilities. Fortunately for us most utilities are included and the only ones we need to worry about are Cable/Internet, Land line if necc and PG&E.

We went with Comcast which is pretty black and white with costs even if it tends to be in a different language. But with PG&E we were not sure. My old bill ranged from the mid $130's to $180. We discussed with others and were figuring around $80 a month. So I was excited to get the bill earlier today (didn't get the mail yesterday, too busy and our box isn't located outside our door). When I opened it I was a little surprised. I even called them and talked with a live agent (on Easter Sunday, WHAT?) and it was legit. Granted this is from 3/12-3/30 but what?? Too funny.

Mistake? We shall see. But in the mean time I'm turning on the heater =P

Early Morning Whispers

As good as it sounds to sleep till 9 or even 10, I find so much pleasure in the early morning when people are still sleeping. I should say person, since Nick left for work at 6. And as quiet as he tries to leave the house I just can't sleep if he isn't next to me.

There is just something peaceful about the stillness of my house. Dew sits undisturbed on the windows. A moment when there isn't some type of dragon/warrior/dinosaur with a cape made from a Giant Spiderman blanket bounding from the highest point of the couch on to a pile of warm, freshly cleaned laundry. I know one day I will miss the constant sound of a machine gun or the growling roar right before the attack. Until then there is always 7am and earlier if need be.

So I have about 30 more minutes to continue this beautiful thing I have with my coffee and Tori and Dean...

Happy Easter!!

Busy, busy weekend up ahead, its kind of nice to have this quiet moment this morning. With one at work and one (still) sleeping I'm just trying to enjoy the peaceful still of it all.

I have been trying to focus on some areas of my personality and reigning them in but I am stronger then I thought. This particular area runs deep in the veins of "The Walkers" so deep in fact I wonder what trait other then a strong back and legs I carried over from my fathers side. But alas, I'll admit. I. Like... LOVE. to buy things. Things in case there is a Hurricane, this Nick is having a hard time understanding. Things in case I go back and they are not there, this happens all to often. Things because they are on sale, and WE WILL NEED them eventually. Things because its always nice to have one waiting on the shelf for you when you run out.

So yes technically 8 things of deodorant would be necessary depending on the circumstances. To be honest I didn't even know I had that many until Nick pointed it out. I'll blame that one on Costco and their coupons =)

Perhaps all this has to do with those miserable girl scouts years, but I doubt it.

So now I am trying to be "good" I wrote out a budget, I do save and I know where my weaknesses lie. Target and the grocery store. I loath Walmart and their clutter. Their rude, inconsiderate employees who leave their carts they are working from in the center of their tiny aisles. How it is an act of God for you to find someone who might have an inclining as to where that one item you have circled the store for an hour might be. Home Depot also falls into this category. But I go there and what happens?? Easter Decorations!!!!

I've tried shopping from a list. Key is I tried. But cereal was on sale! Cereal is NEVER on sale when I go Safeway and someone will eventually eat through the (costco) cheerios.

But I think being honest will help. So I am going to try to take pictures and add up $$ spent frivolously.

*Frivolousy - not planned, not on "my list"

So I was going to take a picture of all items purchased frivolously but I put them all away already and made rice krispie treats then dipped said treats in chocolate and sprinkled "sprinkles" so I totally didn't have time. And it was raining. So instead I took a picture of the receipt along with a cleverly disguised bunny who is hiding out until Sunday morning. The grand total of $$ spent that was not allocated was... $38.18 from a total bill of $68.20 granted I did save $39.49 off the total purchase.

Back to earlier when I was talking about my quiet morning. I was opening up mail and cut my thumb with scissors (I know, I know "cut away") But I ended up using the last of my hello kitty band aids and I think they only sell them at Target...

*in case you were wondering Target did have the band aids $1.82

Dear Weekend, I feel like we are breaking up...

I don't mean to point fingers here but I am feeling cheated. Im not sure if its because Shane was out of school and hanging with me Friday or if it was beautiful weather combined with a fairly full (for us) schedule. But somethings got to take the blame for the fact that TOMORROW is Monday :(

So we DID go to a movie on Friday and I DID purchase the book that the movie was inspired by afterward at Costco where I DID forget my debit card and have to put a book I wanted back (at the register because checking for said card before hand would be silly and organized). That alone is a lesson in blue blood parenting, the act of selflessness TA-DA!!
Shane has been reading, flipping through and laughing at the drawings for three days now. The fact that this book has the words "moron" and "dork" nestled between every other page (maybe only one or two pages, but someone thinks himself rather clever) is a different story and an entirely different lesson in parenting altogether.

On Saturday I attended my final class in a parenting course. This class concentrated on dealing with issues regarding separation, divorce and co-parenting. A month or two shy of 7 years for me but who doesn't like a trip down memory lane, right? And as I immersed myself in the tales of others, all the while thinking how mature and developed my emotions are and how time truly does heals all things. I fast forward to this afternoon, around hmmm, 4:59pm (pacific). I am picking Shane up from his fathers. And what was the only thing I asked of him?? To make sure Shane read two (one page) stories and completed one math page from his spring break packet (from "the teacher" >:[ And what was the ONLY THING THAT WAS FORGOTTEN?? THE ONLY THING THAT EVER GETS FORGOTTEN??? Except for apparently this one time where he claims he did remember to help Shane read which he will hold on to this ONE time for DEAR LIFE. You tell people you want to participate in your childs life but take no interest in their education, never going to a school performance/play, never attending a parent/teacher meeting even when several phone calls and emails including the day of have been made. You frustrate me to no end. So here I am now, fully matured and in touch with ones inner peace, screaming in the middle of the street (actually talking very loudly, but totally wishing I was screaming and maybe even throwing something) to someone who will never understand what it is that I am trying to explain. The same person who fights and fights for so much only to have to work the entire time our child is visiting. The funny thing about all of this is I was just thinking how ten years ago this spring I was engaged to this person. And although we have been on a really nice peaceful stretch for sometime now, it still amazes me how something so universally small can trigger me back so many years. To the constant fighting, arguing and mis-communication. WHAT A JOKE. Absolute comedy. Cheers, I have never taken the time to thank you for leaving me seven months pregnant with your child. From the bottom of my heart I thank you.

Actually Monday isn't looking so bad after all! Ive got laundry to fold and people to love!!!

G'night

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMUUUUUUUUUAHHHHHHHHHH

Hi my name is Christa and...

Thank goodness for Spring Break!! First Friday I have been able to sleep later then 7 in awhile. To bad I woke up at 7:23 hah. So I have this blog because I was leaving my diary out in random places and still no one cared, so now I don't have to remember where I put it last :P Anywho, Shaner is taking me on a lunch date today, a movie and lunch!! Im excited to see Dairy of a Wimpy Kid, because quite a few kids at work have been talking about it and stated they read the book(s) and really like it/them. What Shane may not know is that I plan on picking him up a copy too. I wish I could have gotten my act together before this day but that teacher sends home SO MUCH work. I know, I know "She has too" blah blah blah. But still, I miss my child, I have been separated by a pile of homework for TOO long. I should get a move on the movie starts at 11:20 and I am bound to get distracted at least ten times between now and then.

MUAH
