One Busy Week.

Wow. I haven't had time to blog because I have been time deprived.

1. On my way down to visit my sis in Madison last Friday, my Dad believed it was time he had a hospital stay. He is out now, but I am now going to be along on Doctor visits in the future, just as an extra set of the ears and help my parents understand the whole medical system. He will be seeing a Neurologist on Friday. We are not exactly sure what is up yet. Will keep you posted.

2. Went to visit my sis, after a delay (helping with puppy duty and making sure Dad was ok) and had fun 'Best time Ever'(if you ask the kids) at my sisters. Went to Legoland Chicago and IKEA and spent the rest of the time resting at her house. The kids got to play the Wii and Civilization Four. They were very sad to leave. *sigh* I love to torture them.

3. Brock and Reece have decide to join the Ski Club at school. They will be going to Nordic 4 times in the beginning of the new year. Forms galore.

4. Kids are going to be out of School Friday due to 'Hunting with Dad'. A.K.A. I WILL BE ALONE FOR THE WEEKEND!!! YIPEEE!!!!

5. Zeb has a wonderful new friend. Loves to play with him, but doesn't live as close as I would like. I have been driving a lot to get him to and from there.

6. Finished all the molding that we can in the basement. We need to get more but it seems to be 'special'. hmmm.

7. We had to take out some of the drywall we put in the shower so we can have the tile guy come and put up the shower and flooring in the bathroom. And finished the last GFCI outlet we had to do in the bathroom. I won't embarass Duner, but lets just say... Its a good thing I was there.

8. Zeb got a delayed birthday card from one of his grandparents and had money to spend so we had to go toy shopping... guess what he got....9. Reece attended a babysitting clinc at the city hall today. Now he is all certified to be YOUR sitter. He really wanted me to give him a plug. He is super excited to get started with baby sitting. Let me tell ya, he is GREAT with kids. Big and small. He can even talk Zeb into buying Reece a toy with the $ Zeb got from Grandma! (but I didn't let him) Ha. Ha.
Seriously, he is really good with kids. Diapers are a new thing for him though. (fyi) Call today!
: )

10. I am still training for my Sarasota Half in February, K, my partner in the crime is doing GREAT! And now MY SIS IS JOINING ME! Yay! We are welcoming anyone else looking to soak up some sun for 4 days (give or take) in February, to join us!! It is Feb. 15th.

11. I just joined yet another weight loss challenge thing at the clinic and my friends at the Y also can't wait to get started on one. We all put $10 bucks in and we are going to weigh in weekly. Everytime we gain we pay $5 bucks. Winner with the biggest % of body fat lost wins the pot.
I don't know why I torture myself. *sigh*

12. We need tires for both trucks. We are in search of some good deals. Duner wants to buy tires online and I want to NOT. He knows a dealer in the area that will put them on for him, but i am still worried about that. We will see.

And finally, A local furniture store is going out of business & we needed a new couch for out upstairs living room, since we put the old sectional in the basement. We found a loveseat, sofa and two coffee tables (one 'game' one for upstairs and one round one for the basement). The 'game' table has a checker/chess board in it and backgammon board. It has been a big hit so far.

Our kids have quickly turned out 'game' table into a lego station. Go figure.

The end.
Have a wonderful week!
