My Star

Madeline was named her class' Star Student of the Month!
She was awarded a special pin and called up on stage infront of the entire school.
I am so very proud of her. In October she was named The Beary Special Person of the week. It is awesome to know that she is really being a good girl at school.

Feeling the burn

I joined up with Curves recently and have been real good about going. Yes I know that it hasn't been that long. But I really have been making an effort to go daily. If I don't go I will work out on Wii fit or do some boxing downstairs.

I just didn't go on Sunday (they are closed) or Monday this week. Ed is on 1st and it is dancing day for the girls, so I did some boxing down stairs in the time Lilly was in pre school. I went yesterday and I am going tonight when hubby gets home from work. This afternoon I think it is finally catching up with me. I can feel some pain in my legs, I really feel it when I am getting up or sitting down. This is a new year and I made a promise to myself to get in better shape and I am not dropping the ball on it this time.

It really frosts my cookies!

Mads is in the 2nd grade choir for school, that means one day a week she needs to be at school an hour earlier for pratice. The choir director can be a real pain in the butt about it too. "Be on time, you need to be here, attendence is MANDITORY...blah blah blah" well today she was late again. So it is freezing over here today and there is a line of cards all the way from the drop off circle, down the long driveway almost to the street and no teacher. 5 minutes later no teacher, 10 minutes no teacher. Grrr I had to get home to get my younger one ready so I asked one of my friends if she could keep Mads until the teacher finally showed up. I wonder when that was.

It just pisses me off how she stresses that we be on time when this is the 3rd time that she has been late.

No more daddy day care for us

I am livid, pissed beyond belief right now. I really am starting to believe that I cannot trust my husband with our daughters for more than a few minutes. Last night my local mommies group had their Secert Santa party last night and I was so excited to be going. I really did have a wonderful time. I got the most awesome presents form my secert Santa,(thanks Donna). A pair of Muk Luks that I nearly squealed over. I really wanted a pair, a recipe binder, a dry erase board with matching magnets and a gift basket from Bath & Body works in one of my favorite scents Eucalyptus which aids in stress releif and oh boy am I ever stressed.

Flash forward to this morning where I am greeted by my babies, only to find that they have given themselves haircuts. Lillian basically has no bangs left, Mads cut part of her side so it is not that noticable. But Lilly OMG. Then my husband does not understand why I am mad at him for this happening. Um hello!! You were supposed to be watching them. This is the fourth time that I have left them alone with him for an extended period of time. Why in the hell would anyone leave a four year old alone with scissors, even if they were saftey scissors? "I didn't know that they could cut hair." he said. "My ass" was my reply to him.

I feel like I could stroke out at any moment. I really think that I cannot trust him alone with our girls, that or he is letting it happen in a passive agressive manner because I now have friends to go out with.

I Should Tell You that I was Over the Moon that I went Out Tonight

(well last night)

Saturday January 17th, 8:00 pm eastern standard time.

I like so many others packed Shea's downtown to see RENT. Not only was I seeing one of my favorite shows I was seeing it starring two of the cast's orignal members, and they also reprised their roles in the movie version. Yes I sat there with tears in my eyes as I watched Marc, (Anthony Rapp) and Roger, (Adam Pascal) perform on stage right infront of me. Never in my woldest dreams did I think that I'd ever expierence that. But I am so very happy that I did.

The audience was electric, and yes I mooed. How could you not? I wish that I could go to the show again tonight.
