Day 5 of Spring Break

Today was day 5 of Spring Break. I have had so much fun spending time with my boys this past week and will miss all the fun when I return back to work next Tuesday. Today we started our day dying Easter eggs, then I took the boys for pictures, then we had lunch at the mall, photo with the Easter Bunny, home for naps, and then off to dinner with a friend and her kids, and finally to a local park. The boys were exhausted and there was no complaining at bedtime. Right now my oldest is sleeping on his top bunk, which he has never done. He fell asleep watching a movie up there. When dh gets home he can move him down to his bottom bunk so I don't have to worry about him falling off tonight as he sleeps, even though there is a guard you just never know.

Blog Challenge-One Word

What is your favorite word?Maybe you just like the way it rolls off your tongue.Maybe it's funny to you for some reason.Perhaps its meaning gives it a place of honor on your word list.Maybe you like it because of the circumstances that surrounded you learning it.

I go through phases of using a word or words. There are words that stick with me and I use them for a long time and then they go away or only pop back up periodically.

My current word that I have used a lot lately is bizarre.

His behavior is so bizarre.

I can't believe she did that it was so bizarre.

I am not a "unique" word person and I don't seek out words to learn and use like others that I know. I am more of a number person.

Blog Challenge-Laugh

This week, write about the last time you had a really good laugh. A belly laugh. A laugh that took your breath away. A laugh that starved you of oxygen and gave you a headache. A laugh where you tossed your head back and really let 'er rip.

Well forunately for me this is something that happened recently.

Last Saturday night was St. Patrick's Day and one of my co-workers threw a St. Patrick's Day party. There are a group of us at work that have been doing things together and we always have a great time when we are together, plus we play Bunco together every month.

Finally everyone had had their corn beef and cabbage dinner so it was time to get dancing, but who can dance to music you don't know. Off to my Suburban I go to get a few CD's I had and others were off to get theirs. The dancing begins and of course many of us already have a few drinks in us so we are giggling and dancing like goofballs. One of my co-workers walks up to me and says do you care if I give your husband a lap dance. I told her to go for. See my husband is sitting in a patio chair watching us looking like goofballs, having a good time of course. I don't care if she does a lap dance for my husband, I know it is all in fun and we were just at her surprise 60th birthday party last month.

Anyway she goes up and does a dance for my husband who sits there with no expression what so ever on his face. When she is done I walk up to him and ask him if he enjoyed his lap dance. His response was I didn't have a dollar. Of course this made us, all within ear shot, crack up. Mr. Dry Sense of Humor is my husband!

I gave him a dollar that was in my pocket just so he could be prepared for the next dance.

FINALLY!!! I haven't been on here since January. I couldn't remember my password and I fianlly got it figured out. YIPPEE!!!

Today is St. Patrick's Day and we are heading to a co-workers house for some fun tonight. I am looking forward to it. We are not sure what we are wearing, as green really isn't a color either of us wears.

Day of Mourning 1/2/07

Today was a day of mourning in the United States as the funeral services for former President Gerald Ford took place. It was around 9:30 in the morning and I went into my bedroom to fold a load of laundry so I decided to turn the TV on while doing my chore. When I turned on the TV the funeral services were on. I had actually forgotten that they were on as my older son was already awake when I got out of bed this morning and "Nick" was already on the TV. As I am folding the laundry this is how I found my youngest son...sitting at the end of our bed staring up at the TV watching the funeral service. Just a priceless shot for me to remember and jornal about former President Ford in my son's album.

President Ford was the 2nd president after I was born. Nixon was in office when I was born but Ford ended up taking over. Earlier in 2006 former President Ronald Regan passed...he was the first president that I remember.
