Back at IT.

Tomorrow, we head back to school for the last nine weeks. Horray! We are thisclose to being finished with the year.

This past week, I watched TV and had sleepovers with my nephew who has NEVER slept over before. We went to a basketball game. We cleaned house, did laundry, did laundry and then we did more laundry. Last night, Eli had his long awaited birthday party (really just a get-together) with his big friends. It was the most boring get together in history. But they had a good time. Seven guys spent the night. All the girls were gone by 9 p.m.

I also got the bathroom painted. This was a biggie on my list.

Now, soccer season starts in full. Eli's first "official" game is tomorrow. Emma and Tripp start practice this week and their first game is March 31.

This week, I also will celebrate another year of wedded bliss with my sweet husband.
I love you, Super Dave.

Spring Break 2012.

What a lazy Spring Break. Today is Day 4. I have yet to do laundry, clean the house or get my toes done. I guess I am really unmotivated.

On Sunday, we took the kids to see Chuck E. Cheese. Then we went to a mall and it was so terrible that we left. Target was not much fun. Then we came home.

I am not sure why I have no desire to clean the house. I wish it would hit me. I just know that it will get messed up again.

After the spring break hump, we will only have nine weeks of school left. Horray! Then, it is summertime!

Sad Faces :(

We were pleasently surprised when we were dismissed early from school on Wednesday and given Thursday and Friday off because of sickness. This was so nice, as it gave me extra time to plan for Eli's Friday night birthday party.

Um, yeah.

So, due to the weather - namely, tornadoes - there will not be a sweet 16 party tonight. (Insert lots of sad faces here)

We were expecting lots and lots of teenagers to come out and party tonight. Instead, poor Eli is sending texts and making Facebook posts, telling of the severe weather cancellation.

I feel terrible for my boy. What a birthday! We had the option to continue on with the party. But I thought that I would feel horrible if

1. something happened during the party (a tornado!)
2. no one showed up due to the threat of storms

So, tonight, we will be hunkered down in Grandma's basement. I will not be in my mini-basement because it is stinky down there and there is no electricity and there is no where to sit. Just boxes and boxes of stuff.

So, I guess I will now wish for all of my friends and my family to have a safe, healthy Friday night.

I am so very, very thankful for my Eli. Happy 16th Birthday!
