gettin' old

Man, am I getting old! I just spent some time outside doing some much needed and long overdue weed pulling and I am ALREADY sore! I was out there maybe an hour and all I did was bend and pull out some ugly weeds! I don't car what anyone says, exercise does not make me feel better. I always feel horrible after I exercise, ever since I can remember. I know it is a necessary evil but seriously, it IS NOT fun! And those who say it is are LIARS......

Lucky boy

Wow. Seth is one lucky boy. Soon after we got home from school toady, the phone rang. It was one of Seth's friends, a boy named Zach. He invited Seth to go camping with his family for the weekend. The have a camper and they go every weekend when the weather gets nice. I am so happy for Seth. They are the nicest family too. Two boys, one Seth's age and one Hannah's age and both super nice. Actually the whole family is really great. The mom and I have worked together for a couple of years at school and we know both parents from various sports they've been in together over the years. The dad was Hannah's group leader when she went to Mt. Misery back in October. I was thrilled when she came home and told me because I knew she was in good hands for the whole trip. This is a big step for Seth, going away for the whole weekend with another family. I remember when he wouldn't even go to a friend's house for a couple of hours! Now he's going away for a whole weekend!! So cool. Now, if only Hannah were going to a friend's too!!

Bon Jovi Nite

I'm so excited! I haven't watched American Idol in weeks and have no idea who's left or anything but Seth suggested we watch it since nothing else is on. Low and behold, it's Bon Jovi Nite tonight. They're all singing Bon Jovi songs! Mitch is going to be so bummed he's missing this. Good thing I'm taping it for him. I think these judges are tone deaf, I swear. When I think they sound good, the judges hate them and when they sound awful at home, the judges have nothing but praise. Clearly, this is why I will never be America's next Idol!!

Is it Friday yet? I've been fighting a cold all week and thanks to Airborn it hasn't developed into a full blown snot-fest yet but it is still kicking my butt. And Mitch being out of town yet again is not helping matters any. Thank goodness the after-school activities have waned considerably. Tomorrow is the last CCD class and then we will be down to just soccer, Girl Scouts and now, Intramural field hockey every Wednesday. And drum lessons.

Hannah's bed just collapsed!! (Insert joke here) I thought she was coming through the ceiling. At least it's not all the way on the floor. It'll have to wait to get fixed till Mitch gets home. I'd buy her a new bed but she refuses to keep her room clean. I won't even write what I found in her dresser drawers last week when I was getting her packed for her camping trip. She's not getting new furniture until she learns how to clean up after herself.

Getting back to being tired....I can't ever remember being this tired before in my entire life. Or stressed. I guess the kids have never been this busy either. I'm guessing that'll only get worse as they get older. I hate this time of year at work too because everyone is sick, the kids are bouncing off the wall, the adults are all grouchy, all the Aides, shadows, etc are at each other because no one knows what job, if any, they will have next year, blah, blah, blah....I am seriously ready for summer and the swim club!

Time to watch some TV and veg out.......
