Today Sucked...

Seriously, it was a really crummy day at school. We had a stupid celebration this afternoon where we had a tug-of-war tourney. I guess the kids enjoyed it, but it seemed to last forever, and really, how long can you watch people play t-o-w in a frickin hot gym??? The humidity had to be a zillion percent, too, which just made the day all the better. I swear, some days I live to come home and take a shower and wash off school!

But, it's the weekend! The boys were pretty good tonight at dinner (we went to Applebees, wow!) and then they went to bed really nicely. I'm not going to the union conference I was supposed to go to this weekend, and we're going to a nice dinner tomorrow night for Stephen's b-day, so that will be good. We're also (finally!) celebrating Christmas (yes, I know...) with our DHS friends from back in the day, so that's cool, especially now that some of them have begun to procreate and we aren't the only ones dragging kids around. Not sure what we're making for dinner yet, but I'm sure it will be good! I'm thinking about a beef tenderloin, some marinated chicken from Inbodens, and some of that good Barilla cheese and spinach tortellini....hmmmm...sounds pretty good to me...

I'm quickly becoming addicted to facebook--sad...

So, I have a cyber-stalker...

Seriously, I don't even want to know how Katie found me here, but she did. Creepy. The picture attached to this post is of her big cutie (who refused to smile for any of the pics I took) and my big cutie outside last week. Cute, huh? I think I like this blogging thing because:

1. I don't post much on INCIID anymore, so I don't have a chance to keep in touch with some people that I actually sent this blog to...so they can read about me here.

2. I like to avoid doing actual work. And this is not doing actual work. So it's not bad.

Some things I need to do: pay bills (fun, fun), call the splash park and change the big kids' b-day party (again) because Dave is working the day we scheduled it, call IDOT and tell them I have an I-pass so they don't need to give me a ticket just because they didn't automatically renew the $$ on my I-pass (don't get me started...), check out my next Walden class, since my next semester starts next week, get plates and plastic bags ready to use as art supplies for my really cool propaganda poster lesson tomorrow...

Okay, so I guess that's it. Cyber-stalk away, Katie--this is all you'll get to read :)

Another Beautiful Day :)

First...here are some cute pics from Will's birthday...

Today was another wonderful day...it rained this morning for a bit (and of course, dumb me had my car windows open), but then it got sunny and beautiful! We played outside again today with our cousins, Anna and Molly (well, actually Molly can't play much, being just a month old), and we were TIRED by the end of the day! It's really nice to get to be outside after the winter that seemed to last FOREVER...of course next week it's supposed to be back in the 50's.

I think part of the reason we love this weather is because we all like the yummy grilled food--we went to Inboden's tonight and picked up their bacon burgers for tonight and their k-bobs for dinner Thursday, and grilled at Ade's, and it was a great dinner--tasted like summer!

I got great pics today from my friend, Liz, of my cutie Goddaughter, Mac. She is super cute and fun--we can't wait for this summer when we can spend time swimming!

This is cool, my mil just called to say that my sil, who is an actress in LA got a role in a new pilot created by the guy who created Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. That's cool, and it would be wonderful if it lead to a real job :)


So, I don't really have much to say on this blog--I wonder if I would have had more to say all those years that I dealt with the uncertainties of IF--I was a different person then. I think about how the people I met on INCIID were my "family" then, and it's strange how disconnected I am from so many of them now. I'm really blessed to have my boys, and it's made those days seem so long ago, not just years. It's amazing how fast you forget (well, not forget, but let go of) all those thoughts and emotions, and all those appointments, shots, etc. On the other hand, I really remember so many details about fertility, it's nuts. I think I should become a doctor...lol!


Okay, that's it for tonight...maybe for good, since I don't have much to say (and I'm so chatty!)

Wow...I'm tech savvy now!

So...not only did I just create a facebook page, but now I've decided to try a blog, too. I have to admit, my blog experience includes exactly four blogs: one that belongs to my very talented friend Katie, who shares her professional photos, one that belongs to my cyber-friend Alisha, who just likes to share about her adorable girls and her shopping addiction (see, there is a reason I like her!), one for a cool store in my hometown, and one called Chez Miscarriage that is an AMAZING blog that I don't even think exists any more, which is sad. I don't know that I have anything to say that will ever be interesting to anyone, but it is kind of fun to do, I guess.

So...here it is...my first blog entry. Wow...
:) Amy
