Big day!

So, today was the first day Parker drove his car to school! The heater wouldn't work so Don fixed it and now he is in business! Of course he picked the snowiest day lol good practice I guess! Yes, he needs a haircut, but the boy is 16.5 and he is old enough to make his own decisions lol!

I love driving home and being the first one to drive on fresh snow! Its so beautiful, irritating but beautiful! I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow and I could just sit home and watch the snow but since money doesn't grow on trees I will go!

This week I only work Tuesday, Friday and Saturday! Not to shabby. Have a school board meeting Wednesday night and of course have to shower my guy 2x this week. Patrick has basketball games Tuesday and Thursday, oh and I have to take dinner to an elderly man that I feed 2x a month. Thank goodness for my phone to give me reminders lol. Parker and I made 3 chocolate cream pies for an FFA dinner tomorrow night.

So let me tell you about a conversation between my husband and oldest off spring:
Don: Parker, let me let you in on a secret, women are more mature than men are.
Parker: Well then what happened to mom.
Don: Ok, so were the exception to the rule.
Parker: ok, that makes sense.

Um HELLO?? LOL! Ok, I know I don't act my age, but why should I? I tell ya, no respect!! Well I'm off to make home made pancakes and some bacon! Good dinner tonight!!

TGIF

I have not been so happy for a Friday in a while! Work yesterday was a zoo! I was the only aide and that sucks a lot. I had a helper from 10-2 which helped so much, but after that it was stressful! I never did get a lunch or break, 12 hours running like crazy will wear you out! The night before I was up a lot with Jared who had growing pains, that is never fun and it hurts them so bad! So today is a day to do laundry, since I work tomorrow, but thankfully its only an 8 hour shift! Patrick did so amazing at his game on Tuesday! He got a 3 pointer and a bunch of 2 pointers! He was amazing! They finally won! Thursday wasn't so lucky lol I had to work so Don went to Liberty to watch, he only has 3 more games I think then its track season! Parker qualified for State FBLA, he is so awesome! He won in 2 categories! State is in Seattle this year so he gets to do the underground tour, lucky kid! Josh was home sick on Monday, headache, head cold, of course Jared said he was sick because Josh coughed on him 7 times haha! Nice try Bear! The snow is finally melted and the wind has finally stopped, the sun is out and its warming up to the low 40's almost Spring, I can handle it! The house is clean so now I just have to focus on laundry! I can handle that also!

My new kitchen ugh!

I was not suppose to have a new kitchen, but I got home from town on Friday at 11am and I heard this awful noise, so I walked into the kitchen and it was pouring down rain :( The bathroom above the kitchen, well the pipes burst! Flooded my kitchen and ruined my ceiling and floor and counters. So I called Don freaking out so after he calmed me down I ran out and turned off our pump and the water finally after 20 minutes stopped coming down. Don got home and we started ripping the ceiling out, after we took everything out of the kitchen into half of our living room and dining room. I washed the dishes in the bathroom sink. My sweet friend brought over dinner Friday and Saturday night. We went and picked out the floor and the paint for the ceiling. So here are some pics of the remodel!

The joys of being a Mom!

Here is Jareds art work. He is so wonderful lol! My window sill is in the bathroom, and we are going to re-do the bathroom anyway, but he was so proud of it. When I asked him if he did it his response was "You finally noticed" so happy about it lol!! So I asked him nicely to please start using paper to write me love notes :)

We had a fantastic Superbowl! We had 21 people here! Good thing my house is big! SOO much food and SOO much yelling! What an awesome game!! Hard to believe they pulled it off! We are so going to a game this year! I have been to one Hawks game! My ex surprised me and took me when they were playing the Bengals, great game!!

It is so stinkin cold here! -15 wind chill! I'm not a huge fan because our snow cannot melt if its that cold! I have an interview Friday! Same Hospital just a different department! I still have my job because I only work 24 hours a week, which is 2 days since I work 12 hour shifts. So I'm interviewing for lab assistant! So I will be doing blood draws and running the tests and running the machines! I'm so excited! I never thought I could do it until I did dialysis, now I know I can! I wont like taking blood from babies or kids but I cant have everything! I have a good chance of getting it :) Fingers crossed!

Today is a lazy day! I showered the gentlemen that I shower twice a week and came home and put my jammies on, did the dishes and started laundry, now I'm going to watch Dr. Phil and relax!!! Happy Tuesday!
