catching up…
so i haven’t really written much, other than i got my letter the other day…so here is what i’ve been up too…
Monday: sent out my soldier packages….all 3 of them…with letters in the boxes…they should like that….
Tuesday: got the letter…… didn’t do a whole lot, not much that i remember doing… LoL
wednesday: not a whole lot really…i ended up having zoey for a bit, she was running a temp and the sitter had to send her home…i mean my sister stayed home with her, but it’s not like she did a whole lot, other than sitting in the chair watching tv…then i got chai off the school bus and made dinner…which she actually cleared her plate…..which was a great thing for me, because here lately all she wants is sweets and she barely eats what we fix…not that we give her everything that she wants….normally we agree on her eating a piece of fruit….because it’s sweet n healthy…then she was a horrible little brat after harlie got home….mom n dad had harlie at counseling earlier that afternoon… chai was tired…she only had half a day of school because on wednesdays, she doesn’t have morning school….but she still was up at 6amish…..where she is used to getting up that early every other day….she was so whiney that she stood in the hallway, and threw herself down on the floor and cried…because she didn’t want to go play….so i put her to bed about 630 and guess what, she was asleep in 5 minutes….after that i kinda just hung around in my room….played on the computer a bit and started reading my global finance book…trying to get a jump start before classes start on the 26th…then i went to bed
thursday: well we started the day off with a 1 hour delay for chai’s morning school…plus a 2 hour delay for harlie’s bus….and i had zoey all day, she was still not feeling all that great and the babysitter called saying she was sick….so i’m the backup sitter…so i ended up having harlie until like 10am….was a bit crazy her being home that late….but she played nice with her sister and didn’t give me much trouble…only when i told her she couldn’t take her leapster to school….kinda threw a fit there….but got over it….so then what did zozo and i do the rest of the day? well i blocked her into the front room…baby gates rule! if you don’t block her in, she gets into everything…even tries to climb up the bunkbed ladders…i made her a bit of breakfast…bacon and eggs…put her in the highchair, set her plate on the tray….turn around and i hear the plate hit the floor…..she decided she didn’t want bacon and eggs…..so sadie (the dog) ate it up…normally sadie and wild (the cat) fight over it…but as my sister was leaving for class that morning, the cat decided she was gonna run out the door….first time she was in the snow…she didn’t stay away for too long….when harlie opened the door to go to the bus stop, she darted back in shaking from the cold….lol i thought at the time she might have learned her lesson…until around 1am this morning when i let the dog back in…she darted out the door….
so back to earlier that day…while zozo was playing in the front room, i moved the kitchen around, mopped everywhere, because with 8 people and 2 animals, plus friends of the kids (including bub’s friends) coming in and out of the house, the kitchen floor looked horrible…and i rearranged a bit in the kitchen…put the table in a different spot…looks nice….lol…mom came home and said "did we get bored today" but she liked it LoL….the rest of the night was spent making/eating dinner….which again chai cleared her plate…..then baths for the kiddos, mom and i played uno with the girls, then they talked on the phone to kerrigan….one of their friends who moved away….my friend andrea and the kiddos moved to virgina after she n dan got married..he’s stationed at norfolk….so that took bout 1/2 hour once they all got to talk….then it was bed time…which the girls tried to fight…..until i said "go brush teeth" and they ran to see who could get there first…chai actually won this time! chai was asleep in probs 15 minutes…
i didn’t do much after she went to bed, talked to sassy on irc,watched bruce willis in die hard with a vengence…and then mash for bed….i love that show..chai does too, but she’s pretty much grown up with it lol….since she was in the womb….if i couldn’t sleep i’d watch mash…had the complete season on vhs, had most of them on dvd, then all my dvds got stolen 2 years ago along with my old laptop….so now i’m slowly building it back up…but it’s hard to find them ne more…wallyworld quit getting them in….i was in bed by 1130ish and then woke up to sadie barking her head off…dad put her out and i guess forgot about her….so i went to let her in…this is where wild got out….i was half asleep and didn’t notice her sitting by the back door….at some point in time, dad got her back in before 5am when mom went to work…
Friday: my plans for today…avoid doing anywork or watching zozo since my sister is home….she can do it for once! that and i find myself sitting here wondering why mark hasn’t called yet….i mean u’d think he would have called once he got that letter….but who knows what’s going on…i know the number i had for him…was in allie’s name and she has had it shut off….but i do believe he has a cell phone….i think that’s how he called us last week….ne way just kinda going through my head about it all….and he should have gotten that picture dvd by now….so wondering what he though of that too….there’s a earlier entry (test 05 is the entry title) that has a link to watch the first 5 minutes of that video….if ne one is curious lol….i think it turned out great…but yanno…you never really know how someone else is gonna take it…
so yeah this is where i’ll leave you, since i really don’t know what i’m gonna do today…maybe work on my blanket a bit more and read some more of the global finance book…..talk to you all later
