BORING BLOG ...

I have such an awful headache. Ugh. I can't even explain it. It hurts my head to breathe in, and my eye's feel crossed. I suppose that could explain that when I signed in to BLOGGER.. it looked like it said "BOOGER" .. yeaaaaaa.

Not a whole lot has been happening here lately really. Hormones are evil. One minute I am up, then I am down. The being tired this time IS SOOOOO unbelieveablely rediculous ! I got the cranky's. Probably another good reason I haven't blogged - oh, that and total lack of concentration. Ugh. All this at only 7 weeks ? Gahhh, usually I would feel this all, WAY later. Weird, but whatever.

It is snowing here again and I have cabin fever. I want sunshine and singing birds, open windows and warm breezes, digging in the dirt, gardening, grilling and jumping on the trampoline till the stars come out. Traveling for the summer and the best times ever. I sure am hoping that the dumb groundhog was wrong. I think he clearly must be getting too old for his job now. (or atleast that is what I hope)

Soon, our tax $ will come in, and that will be so nice and will hopefully leave us enough to let us have an early get away break. Since we don't and will not use credit, we have a buncha other bills the money is going to, all monthly ones that build up in the winter like gas, phone, electric, car (not payment - just rg expense). Plus the kids all need new shoes and some clothes. We have no debt, which we do like. But I am hoping that we have some left over to GO AWAY ! I am thinking Florida again, but who knows. Sure would be nice, but I know other things have to come first.

In other news, Jordan bruised his foot playing basketball, Gracie tripped over a toy, Hit a cabinet and got a black eye. OH and my house is a mess. Ahemmmm, not a usual thing for me. Maybe another additive to my going insane from being stuck inside. Agggahhh ! Being so tired, I find it hard to stay on schedule ... it is like I suddenly suffer from Narcolepsy or something. I'll sit down, then BAM.. I wake up an hour later. I don't like it at all, but atleast my girls have been a big help in doing what they can to keep things going. Without them, I would be insane. :O) It surely don't help my total OCD mind though, but when the energy comes I will most certainly put it to good use!

Jordan finally took Lil' Blue (My Saturn, yes I named it) to school to be fixed. (For you who don't know - he is a senior and attends PS) So as a part of shop class they were looking for a car that needed work ... Jordan let them know that we had a car, and that it was in need of work. The shop teacher came over one evening last fall and I agreed for them to do the work buying only parts needed just so the kids would get the experience. Previously we heard ten thousand stories about how it would cost too much, or wasn't worth even trying. But I adamently refused to get rid of it and refused to trust her to just anyone. I even cried when someone told me there was no hope. (don't make fun of me) Now I don't usually hold any sentiment to anything material, so it is weird I do this car, but it wasn't going anywhere. So why not. They came and took her last week. Lil' Blue was our very first brand new car. July 2001 we got her and we were so delighted. We had a hunk of garbage prior (ya know, the kind that barely makes it down the road) and I walked onto the Saturn lot and told them, bad credit or not, I was not leaving without a car ! I talked to a nice guy named Ken and then she was ours ! I got my very first and only job at Pizza Hut so we could pay her off. Like I said earlier we don't believe in credit, so we paid it off then I quit that job. She went from coast to coast with us several times, just like a part of the family and NEVER, not even one problem ! Until 2007. ATTACHED ?? Yeaaa, a little. But come to find out it might not cost quite as much as we thought and it wasn't such a bad thing that happened (busted valve spring).. so getting her repaired will help us alot and not be so much money !

Sure, Lil' Blue will not fit all of us anymore as the family has grown, BUT hubby will get to use it as a going to work car and I will get the van. Wooohooo ! I am glad I didn't give up.. there is always an answer ! HAHA.

So, I guess that is all I have to say. Hope you all have a great week !
