So I've been out of town the past few days for work. I pick Paige up tonight from the sitter's and she has been rather nightmarish since we got home. I know it's because she really missed me, but seriously, show it in a nicer way. Plus the dog has been halfway up my ass. Again, I know you missed me but constantly jumping up on me isn't the way to show it. It will just lead me to yelling at you to get down and eventually slapping your fat ass. Mike took her to the vet last week for her yearly check up and she's rather portly-up 8 pounds since last year. We haven't sent her to doggy fat camp yet, but we are giving her less food and trying to exercise her more. But no biggie, I've probably gained 8 pounds since last week and I haven't gotten spayed recently.
So as soon as we were done with supper I escaped to the basement for some peace and quiet and time away from the kid. All is quiet upstairs, so Mike must have her under control.
So tomorrow I'm trying a new hairstylist for a hair cut. Mine has been sucking ass lately and I have to figure out how to break up with her if I like the new one. I have a picture of how I want my hair to look so we'll see. Not sure if this will work, but this is the cut I want: http://www.womensbeautylife.com/albums/short_hair/short4.jpg.
My eyebrows are getting slightly crazy too so I'll have her wax them too. Good times. I'm bringing the kid with so we'll see how she does. Well I'm being beckoned upstairs so I best be going.
The complaints and bitchings from a 30-something work outside the home mom living in small town Wisconsin with my hubby, 5 year old daughter, slightly retarded dog and obnoxious cat.

Monday Secret
So this really isn't a secret, but it's something I'm starting to become very worried about, especially after last week's Monday Secret.
I'm deathly afraid that Paige will have major eating disorders as she continues to grow up. It runs in my family, I over eat, my sister doesn't eat enough and it's all about control with her (my sister.)
I've noticed that Paige will not eat just to have control over a situation and to prove a point. The other day for lunch she wanted spaghettios and basically picked the meatballs out and proclaimed she was done because she was full. I knew this couldn't be true but I've decided not to argue with her about food. So Mike says no you are not full, and how about if we take turns eating? So he covers his mouth with the bowl during his turns and doesn't really put any food in his mouth and Paige scarfs down the whole bowl in like 5 minutes. WTF?!?!?!
Food is such an issue for her and I'm so mad at myself for allowing it to happen. I have no idea how to fix this mess.

Neighbors
So about a year ago, we had new neighbors move in who I'll refer to as M & D. At the time, they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but are now married. M has a 4 year old daughter from a previous marriage (A) and A and Paige play pretty well together (for the most part, there is some drama, but not bad).
Last summer the girls would go back and forth between houses, ours one night, A's the next. Maybe they were at our house more but it didn't really bother me much.
This spring/summer is a different story, we bought the swing set (a cheap ghetto metal one from Kmart, but they LOVE it) and A is at our house ALL THE TIME. Typically when we get home, Paige sees that M's car is home and runs over to their house before even coming into our house. Fine. Next thing you know A is shooting out of her house and both are dashing to our swing set. Again, fine. I'm starting to notice that A is ALWAYS at our house and the girls are never playing at A's.
So last night it's cool and rainy and not a good night to play outside. The above scenario plays out, and after about 2 minutes outside I tell the girls to come inside and play. They are rather good at entertaining themselves, but I still have to referee occasionally. So Paige pulls out her "new" (from a rummage sale with 2 pieces missing) strawberry shortcake game for her and A to play and it's painfully obvious that A has never played a board game before because she has no clue what to do. She finally seems to grasp it, I leave to change my clothes and Paige comes storming in a minute later saying A is playing it wrong. I tell them to put it away and play with Paige's barbies.
A is over for about an hour before I send her home so we can eat. After supper Paige wants to play with A, so we send her over there with instructions to play at A's house, A is eating and will come over when she's done. Great. So A comes over a little while later and we say, why don't you go over to your house? A replies "my mom doesn't want us to play at my house." WTF?!?!?! I was livid. A was over for about 5 minutes and we sent her home.
Mike looked outside a little while later and noticed A sitting on the steps outside of her house alone. Again, WTF? She's only 4. Someone could grab her so fast. Granted I leave the 2 girls outside alone for a few minutes, but my windows are open and Duchess is outside. She'll bark protectively at a kid biking down the street so I know she won't let anything go down.
I really really really like M and D, but am really starting to doubt M's parenting. Her ex gets her EVERY single weekend from Thursday afternoon-Sunday afternoon and then she's at our house almost every night. How about spending a little time with your kid? I have a feeling that she's sending A to our house all the time so her and the new hubby can have a quickie. But hey, I wouldn't mind one too!
I know I need to say something to M, but it's hard. I don't like to confront people and this is such an awkward topic. I don't want it to come out petty, but hey one night over at A's so I can have a quiet house-is that too much to ask?

Yep, You're a Better Mom Than Me
If I see a statement to this effect again I think I might puke: "I just saw on the news somewhere that stay-at-home moms would get about $138,000 / year if we got paid. Not to bad!"
Some nitwit on my mom's group board posted this. I'm THIS CLOSE to posting, "Since I work outside the home, tack on an extra $35,000 for my pay from my job."
And this one too:
"A man came home from work and found his three children
outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door
to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a Cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.
In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was
spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more
piles of clot hes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way
out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?'
She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?'
'Yes,' was his incredulous reply.
She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.'"
Oh ha ha, aren't you all just laughing your heads off? I think I've only gotten that one about 1 million times before. So I do all that in addition to the 8 or so hours I'm away from home.
And horror of horrors, I'm starting a Bible study tonight so that's even more time away from my precious offspring. How ever will she cope? Good thing her dad's around to "babysit" her.
Boy I must not be pregnant this month, I have killer PMS.

Monday Secret
I'm copying my favorite Indiana resident and changing Sunday Secret to Monday Secret. Here's mine: I'm obsessed with food. It's sick. After thinking about having something chocolate all afternoon, I finally paid 85 cents for a stupid Butterfinger candy bar and devoured it in like a minute. I'm THIS CLOSE to getting another one. Meanwhile, I'm picking the Butterfinger pieces out of my teeth and hoping that will tide me over until I stop at Dollar General on the way home for a package of shortbread chocolate covered cookies. UGH.

TMI Tuesday
1. How many credit cards do you own? Are they paid off? 5-One Visa that I use WAY too much for day to day stuff, a Chase card that has a balance that we're paying off, a Kohl's card for the awesome deals, Menards and Home Depot. Chase card is not paid off, but will be by the end of the year. Menards and Home Depot have landscaping and appliances and they'll be paid off within 3 months.
2. Can you be in love with someone you don't trust? I don't think so.
3. Should prostitution be legal? Honestly, I don't really care. It's going to take place anyway.
4. On a scale of 1-10, how good of a lover do you think you are? (1 is lowest, 10 is highest) Mike seems to be a happy camper so I'd say a 7.
5. What are three mistakes someone could make on the first date with you that would automatically make you turn down a second date with them?
I haven't really dated much, but if someone was rude to the waitress or other customer service person, if they were condescending, and if they smelled bad.
Bonus (as in optional): Tell us about your worst date ever. Kind of sad, but I never really went on very many dates. The 2 boyfriends I had in college, we just sort of "hooked up" and were together. I went on a first date with Mike and it was obviously good!

My Baby is 4!
I still can't believe it. I'm really having a hard time with this birthday. Maybe it's because 4 seems so OLD, kwim?
We had a really nice day, I took off so we could spend it together. My parents came up, and we all played outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. In the afternoon, we went to buy some flowers so Paige could have her own flower garden. I told her she could pick out whatever she wanted and she would be in charge of it. She thought that was pretty cool. While we were there, my mom and I started to look at shrubs, and almost $300 later, the front of my house has all new shrubs in it! My dad kept Paige occupied while my mom and I planted about 12 new shrubs in the front. We cooked on the grill and ate outside, which Paige loves to do. She opened a few presents and we ate the cupcakes my mom brought. It was such a nice day and I'm dreading going back to work. I have a long day tomorrow too, a car seat appointment at 5:45. UGH.
I made this movie to celebrate Paige's 4th birthday, let me know what you think!!!

Mom's Night Out
OK, for some reason I'm feeling the need to get this out. It's really not that big of a deal, but I think I'll feel better. WTF is my problem?
So my mom's group had a mom's night out (commonly called an MNO) last night at Atlanta Bread Company. It was called "Ask Anything over Coffee" where we wrote down questions anonymously and went around and answered them. There was probably about 12 of us there.
For some reason last night I felt like a bumbling idiot last night! Everyone else was all prettied-up because they probably had time to get ready, opposed to me who left the house at 8:30am, worked until 5:30pm, ran to a rummage sale, then to Atlanta Bread without going home. So I was kind of stressed about that. Then for some reason because I think people see me as the "funny one" I have to put on this big show and make people laugh all the time. I felt like I couldn't stop talking and all I wanted to do was shut up and sit there quietly. I also felt like I was making a huge ass of myself and probably turning some people off since I was coming off as an obnoxious loudmouth. AGH!!!!
I should have left early, but I stayed until the bitter end. I think I have to tell myself to just chill out, I don't have to impress anyone, and just be myself!!!

Knot in My Stomach
I just looked up the first day of school for the 2008-2009 school year and it's September 2nd. That will be Paige's first day of 4 year old kindergarden. She'll ride a bus to her school, St. Anthony's. As I was putting that date on my work calendar, I started to get a knot in my stomach and I'm on the verge of tears thinking about my baby going to school. The same little baby I brought home from the hospital and fed at 2am is going to get on a bus and go to school. I wish I could put into words how I feel, but I think my mama friends get it.
I always get a little sad around her birthday too. I tend to spend a lot of time looking at baby pictures and little movies we took on our camera. It's just amazing how fast they grow and change. I think I'll put together a slideshow of her the past 4 years. I better get back to work before I really lose it!

TMI Tuesday
Copied from a different blog; thought it was fun!
How many cell phones have you had? How long have you had your current cell phone number?
I think I've had this same number since Mike and I got cell phones together right around our wedding. So almost 7 years. I think I've had 4 cell phones. I remember my very first one, it was this huge yellow thing, but I thought it was so cool! Is this really a TMI question?
Where was the last place you had sex?
On my bed.
On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with your love life? (1 is lowest, 10 is highest)?
9, my husband is awesome and I love him a lot. He's not perfect though!
Does Bliss sound like a fun game to you? Have you ever played it?
I've never heard of it, so I don't know.
Is there anything or anyone you would be willing to die for?
Paige.
Bonus (as in optional): If you were (or had) a magic genie and could only grant wishes for others and you only had three left, what would they be and who would they be for?
1. That Paige is always healthy and happy in life.
2. That my sister and BIL will have a healthy baby (I'm sure they will, but it's still a wish)
3. That my single mom divorced friend meets a nice guy and gets remarried.

In Between
So Paige is very annoyingly in between sizes right now. She's shot up to 44 inches, and has been growing in her legs. On one hand good because her TCP tops from last summer fit this summer. She's NEVER been able to wear clothes from a previous season.
However, size 4 pants are a bit too short, and size 5's are a little too long. She gets super annoyed when her pants are too long and rolls them up to a ridiculous length. Size 4 underwear are too small, size 6's are too big. Why they don't make size 5, I'm not sure.
I've also noticed that she's outgrown a few of her size 10 shoes, but a few of them still fit. Size 10-11 flip flops from TCP are too small, but the 12-13's fit. AGH!!!! So today, we go shoe shopping and what an ordeal. She's measuring around an 11.5 and I've been stuffing her into 10s!!! So after trying on a variety of size 11 and 12 shoes, we finally leave there with 2 cute pairs of shoes. (BOGO half off, so you HAVE to get 2!) I also got 2 pairs of sandals. I still have those croc/mary jane type shoes from TCP size 11 that I want to try on her, we'll see if they fit.
It seriously took us a half hour this morning to get her dressed. It started innocently enough with me asking her to pick out a ponytail holder that would match her clothes (we were going bowling with a friend and I wanted to pull her hair back.) She decides she wants to wear turquoise blue ponies which didn't match her clothes. So being super anal mom that I am, I tell her to pick out a shirt that matches the blue ponytail holders. We find one that matches, and I tell her to get dressed. She has her size 6 undies on and she's whining because "my underwear are all goofy." I've discovered that she can't wear jeans now because they make the size 6's bunch up and the too small size 4's ride up her hiney. So we try on several pairs of both the 4 and 6 undies with the jeans and nothing works. So I pick out black yoga pants that match the blue shirt. Fine. FINALLY after braiding her hair to her satisfaction, we attempt to put on the unbeknownst to me too small shoes which sets both of us off. Finally she wears her Dora tennies. AGH!!!!! She was very mis matched and it annoyed the crap out of me. It also made us 10 minutes late.
Damn high maintenence girls.

Tired
So I've been slacking on the couch to 5K program. I took about a week off then finally got on the treadmill again last night. UGH. I am so not a runner, but I know it's a good way to get in shape. I'll probably just stick with the alternating walk/run for a LONG time!!!
I have to work tomorrow at a stupid all day mandatory agency inservice. BOOOORRRINNNGGG. Sit all day and listen to speakers who have nothing to do with my job. But I'm taking next week Monday off to make up for it.
I took Paige to a kindergarden screening tonight to make sure she's on track and she is. She had a ball and didn't want to leave! I also had her hearing and vision screened and she passed both. I'm sure she'll need glasses soon, Mike and I are both blind as bats.
Mike's dad and stepmom are coming over for the weekend. Hopefully, they'll behave themselves better than last time they were here. Last time, step MIL clipped her nails in the living room, left the clipper on my end table, made a huge mess in the kitchen, stunk up my one and only bathroom, and the kicker, bagged up the garbage from their van and left it by my garage door as they left. So as you can imagine I'm TOTALLY looking forward to this weekend.
Man, I'm boring I really have nothing to report. I have clothes in the dryer and I need to hit the hay.
I have to work tomorrow at a stupid all day mandatory agency inservice. BOOOORRRINNNGGG. Sit all day and listen to speakers who have nothing to do with my job. But I'm taking next week Monday off to make up for it.
I took Paige to a kindergarden screening tonight to make sure she's on track and she is. She had a ball and didn't want to leave! I also had her hearing and vision screened and she passed both. I'm sure she'll need glasses soon, Mike and I are both blind as bats.
Mike's dad and stepmom are coming over for the weekend. Hopefully, they'll behave themselves better than last time they were here. Last time, step MIL clipped her nails in the living room, left the clipper on my end table, made a huge mess in the kitchen, stunk up my one and only bathroom, and the kicker, bagged up the garbage from their van and left it by my garage door as they left. So as you can imagine I'm TOTALLY looking forward to this weekend.
Man, I'm boring I really have nothing to report. I have clothes in the dryer and I need to hit the hay.

Couch to 5K
I'm not really sure what is possessing me to do this, but I'm on week 2 of the Couch to 5K program on coolrunning.com. Well it's week 2 for me, but I'm still on week 1 of jogging for 60 seconds and then walking for 90. I actually don't mind it too much, I put my Friends DVD in and I'm on the treadmill for 30 minutes. I'm hoping to bump it up to week 2 next week, which is jogging for 90 seconds and walking for 2 minutes. My new New Balance shoes ROCK! I totally love zappos.com, I ordered the shoes around 10pm one night, they were at my house by 4:30 THE NEXT DAY! And for free shipping! Not sure how they do it, but it's awesome.
Grrr I'm trying to print a bunch of stuff on our only color printer in the whole agency and it's not working. Love technology.
OK, so today is tax day and all that has been on the news is people waiting until the last minute. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? Seriously, people you have like 4 months to do this. Luckily, Mike does ours online and we get our rebates within a week. I have no clue how to do our taxes, if I were ever single, I'd take them somewhere. I like to think of myself as self-sufficient but that is one thing I'm totally clueless on.
Happy Birthday Meredith!

Paige-isms
So Paige said a couple of cute things tonight that I wanted to remember. First we were at an icecream store (Coldstone Creamery) and it's obviously prom night at several high schools, and apparently CC is the spot to go. So a huge limo pulls up, about 10 girls all dressed up get out and Paige is totally fascinated. She can't stop staring at all the girls and says to Mike and I "I want to go say hi to all the princesses." It was so cute! She finally did, but Mike had to go with her-she was so proud of herself!
Second, her and Mike were browsing the end caps of Target looking for deals and she spotted something Hannah Montana and recognized it as such. When Mike asked her how she knew HM, she said she didn't know. He asked her another time and she goes "Dad, you've asked me that LIKE 20 times." WTF?!?!?! Is she 3 going on 13?

PMS
OMG I think I have the world's worst case of PMS right now, I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin. Mike is off today and getting ready to go fishing, he won't be home until midnight or so. Paige and I are going to Hardee's with some friends to play later on this afternoon. My current bitches:
1. I got my haircut yesterday and it looks nothing like the picture I showed my stylist. I'm considering starting to hack at it myself and switching stylists. She's been going downhill on my past few cuts. But she also waxes my eyebrows and does a really good job with them.
2. Paige is driving me nuts. She's acting all weird and hyper and generally annoying.
3. BIL keeps calling Mike to talk about fishing and he talks really super loud.
4. I had an ingrown toenail removed on my right big toe, but the doc didn't get all of it. It's really starting to hurt and I don't want to have to pay another $300 for the anesthesia and go through the pain of having it removed.
5. The weather here is going to suck all weekend and we have no plans. We'll all drive each other crazy if we don't get out of this house.
6. I ran out of happy pills this morning and hate having to pay $45 every month for them. This is an ongoing bitch.
7. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a patio set and hubby is against it. JCP has one on sale for $229 and I'm tempted to go get it today while he's gone. Damn men.
8. I have a shitload of laundry to do and I can't hang it outside because of the crappy weather.
OK enough bitching. Off to go work on the 10 loads of laundry.

Wisconsin in April
really sucks. We had 60's over the weekend, 2 days ago it snowed about an inch, and now the winds are howling and it's about 30 degrees. We're under a winter storm warning right now. But no worries, it's supposed to be back up in the 60's by the middle of next week. WTF?!?!?
So Paige is totally ga ga over her new swing set. She has been wanting to play on it non-stop which is kind of hard when it's snowing. Last night her and the neighbor girl played on it for almost an hour. I was freezing when we came back in finally.
I'm starving, I'm going to be eating lunch soon. Leftovers. It's this really yummy sweet and sour chicken that I cooked last night. I'll have to post the recipe for my ya yas.
I ordered some new shoes from zappos.com-New Balance Running shoes. I hope they get here soon because I'd really like to stick with the couch to 5K program, I'll be walking/running again tonight. I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck on week 1 for a LONG time.
MIL gave us each $75 in Visa gift cards for Christmas, but they expire at the end of this month, we each got a $50 one and a $25 one. So I tried to use the $50 to buy part of new shoes and put the rest ($14) on my CC. No go, you can only use one card. I keep forgetting I have it, so I HAVE to spend it by the end of this month. I can't just let $75 go to waste! Maybe I'll go shopping again this weekend, the weather is supposed to be crappy. I wish she would have just gotten us $75 in cash-much easier to spend!!!!
OK my tummy growling is disturbing my co workers so I better eat.

Crabby
OK I don't have PMS but EVERYONE is driving me nuts right now. I'm holding this stupid grudge against Mike because he got to have 2 long, fun child free weekends in the last month. Paige is driving me crazy. I'm not sure how it's possible but she has gotten even more picky in the last few weeks. She won't eat supper, goes to bed hungry, wakes up early because she is hungry and then is a bear. Good times.
So Mike first. At the end of October he was gone from Thursday night-Tuesday night, up north hunting birds and doing guy stuff. Fine. Paige and I kept busy, but still it's hard doing all the laundry, cooking, cleaning, dog care, baths, bedtimes, naptimes, etc. alone. So this past weekend was opening weekend of gun deer season. He goes up north again from Thursday night and just has to stay there until he gets a deer, he finally shoots one on Sunday and doesn't get home until 10pm. So for the 2nd weekend in less than a month, I have to listen to "I miss my daddy" all weekend. Sunday night when she was really throwing a fit, I called Mike on his cell and put Paige on the phone. I tried to make him feel bad, but I don't think it worked. He comes home with a crapload of dirty laundry, stinky, unshaven, and a deer that needs to be cut up. Great. Then he wants me to put out last night. I was in the mood for a little while, but then he started to get a little pushy about it and it turned me off. Then he got pouty, got up to take a shower, and fell asleep on the couch. Whatever.
Paige next. I'm not sure how it's possible but she has become even more picky. She's sick all the time and I know it's because her immune system is so weak from not eating fruits and veggies. She wanted mac and cheese the other night, and a very specific kind. Not the shells, just the regular plain jane kind. So I make it, and she throws a huge fit because it's yellow not orange. She picked at it for a while and then I took it away and told her no snack that night. Monday night I made this really good pork chop thing with potatoes and onions simmered in beef broth and a fruit salad. She wouldn't touch any of it. So I made her sit in her chair until she was done. She wouldn't eat it so we just put her right to bed. Last night we had it for leftovers and a different fruit salad with grapes, pineapple and mandarin oranges. She said she'd eat a few grapes and I told her to choose either one pineapple or one orange. She chose an orange and then refused to touch it. I threatened all kinds of things and she wouldn't budge. Finally I told her to go sit in a time out until it was bedtime at the end of the hall in the dark with no toys or blankie. I was livid. Mike played the good cop and convinced her to try the pineapple which she did and ended up eating like 5 of them plus a few grapes.
She has gotten even more whiney if that's possible. Last night she whined because I didn't give her floss. I made her ask for it nicely and she did and then threw a shit fit because I tore it off myself and she wanted to do it all by herself. AGH!!!! I just hear her go "mommmmmmyyyyyy" in her whiney weepy tone and it just irritates the crap out of me. It's like nails on a chalkboard.
This morning was horrible too. Mike for some reason has started to play music for her to fall asleep too. Well she woke up this morning going "DADDY? DADDY!!!! DADDY?!?!" all pissed off and throwing another shit fit because her music wasn't playing. Great way to start the day. Of course Mike had already left for work by this time. Then she insists on bringing her blankie to Sandi's and I had to say no and that led to another whiney tantrum. Why Mike has started playing music now at bedtime is beyond me. I swear that man does not think. I told him that we shouldn't do that because we don't want her to get used to the music and then have to drag a CD player everywhere we go overnight. He goes "oh yeah I never thought of that." DUH!!!!!!
Off to a work meeting. Yippee.

Is This Strange?
Because I think it is. This chick in my mom's group nurses her 3 1/2 year old son. She also nurses her younger son who will be 2 in February. She claims they are both boobie boys and that younger one wants the boob all the time. So much so that she carries him in a sling most of the day so the boobies are accessible, I guess. It doesn't gross me out, I just think it's so bizarre. But then again, this chick is STRANGE. I haven't even met her and she irritates me just by what she posts on our board.
Random thought here. People need to get over the damn Dog the Bounty Hunter using the N word. He said it in a private conversation for god's sake. There have been plenty of things I've said in private that I wouldn't want taped and released for the world to hear. Yes it's a bad word. But you can't tell me that a black person (or other race) hasn't ever called a white person a derogetory name. Besides I like his show and will be bummed if it's off the air.
OMG speaking of another show off the air...I'm hearing that Housewives will be affected by the writer's strike!!! AGH!!! That is the best show and it is so good right now! I will just cry if they start playing reruns.
I'M SO BORED AT WORK RIGHT NOW. I have done so much farting around on the internet this week I'm surprised our TS dept. hasn't come to my office and shut me down. I keep checking people.com, cnn.com, babycenter, my mom's group website, and a Wisconsin mom's website.
That teacher that ran away with her 13 year old student...now that is gross. Seriously, what was she thinking? She has an 8 year old daughter that she totally abondoned for a sexual relationship with a 13 year old?!?!? YUCK. Obviously she has some mental problems so hopefully she can get the help she needs. What would ever attract a 25 year old woman to a 13 year old boy?
OK enough random bitching. I'm sure I'll be back soon.

Wonderful Weekend
Our weekend was so relaxing! We stayed at the Wild Eagle Lodge in Eagle River, about 2 hours north of here. You can check it out at www.wildeaglelodge.com. Our "room" was $109 for a bedroom with a king bed, whirlpool, 2 bedrooms, full living room, dining room, fully stocked kitchen and balcony. It was like a little house. We just loved it and will definitely go back again.
Paige stayed at my mom and dad's and had a blast. She has been rather clingy the last few days so I know she really missed us.
OK the time change sucks. She has been getting up at 5:30am the past few mornings. I have no idea why because before the time change she was getting up around 7-7:30m. She was such a crab this morning.
Trick or treating was fun too. A little cold and windy, but we all had a ball and Paige looked adorable!
Work is very slow and boring right now and I'm in the office all week with hardly anything to break up the days. Ugh. I have non-work stuff I could do to keep busy, but I don't want to look unproductive.
I found a Christmas song on the radio yesterday. WTF people? Thanksgiving is still over 3 weeks away. Halloween was just last week. I think we can wait a little while yet. But speaking of that I better call Sears for an appointment for pictures.
Later chicas, have a good day!
