I went to the school early yesterday. Not intentionally, it just happened that way. Me and Sho-sho ate lunch at Rocky's so we just headed to CJ's classroom instead of eating lunch at the school. Sho-sho likes to be a 1st grader for part of her day, so she went at sat with the other kids while Mrs. B, the sub, taught a lesson. Mrs. J was still there and it was so nice to see her. She said she had an ultrasound yesterday and the tech. slipped and said "he" when referring to one of the babies. I told her that I have never known the pencil test to be wrong and it said she was having a boy and a girl. Sho-sho's teacher, Mrs. K, came in and joined the conversation and she has heard of the pencil test too. She said that all of her cousins had done it and so far it has been right about their kids. I have never known it to be wrong, but I guess we will find out for sure in May. Oh and she told us the names that they were thinking of, I can't remember all of them, but one for a girl was Avery. I think that sounds so cute for a little girl.
In other news. We had a horrible virus in our computer that has been linked back to a page that the kids played on. Don't know if it is from a banner that is on that page or if it is from the page itself, but we have it all cleaned out and so far no problems.
I was alone with the kids for this past 4 day weekend. Friday, Sneezer had rehearsals then after that we went shopping for some crafts that they can work on while we are at home. We didn't really find anything that the kids could all do. Most things are focused on one sex or the other. So we got play dough. Seemed like a good idea, til they started fighting over colors. The play dough has now been put up til they can show me that they can handle playing with it.
Saturday we went and saw Spider*wick's with my mom and youngest brother. I really liked the movie, but still like the books more. I realize that they could not have kept everything in the movie and have it be under 2 hours, but I think they did a fair job. They changed things a bit, but I guess they needed to do that to make the movie work.
Sunday we stayed home. I had no desire to take the kids anywhere. Hubby came home in the early evening.
Monday was another rehearsal and we got to see everyone in costume. Sneezer looks very scrawny in her costume. She is just such a toothpick.
And then we are back to Tuesday. Oh! there was a meteor early in the morning. I did not see it first hand, but I think I heard it. Something made me wake up suddenly. I heard a loud booming noise and woke up suddenly.
Later in the afternoon, we ran into Mrs. J at the grocery store. She was at the Dr. just before that and said everything was looking good. It was funny seeing her at the store and not having CJ trying to hide behind me while I was talking with her. It was strange seeing her there b/c I thought she said that she lived farther up north, so I don't know why she was at our store.
Anyway, there is an update on things here.

Was yesterday Friday?
Yes I know it was Wednesday, but with the things went, it should have been Friday.
Yesterday was suppose to go like this.
9 am - kids to school, hubby to work.
12pm - Sho-sho on bus and back home to meet hubby who left work at this time.
12:30- lunch date with hubby and some shopping fun!
3:00 - pick up kids from school.
5:30- pick up pizzas for family fun party at school.
6-7 pm - family fun party. Make a fun craft and eat pizzas.
7-8 pm - PTG meeting. (would have been my first one)
after that go home and watch the rest of Across the Un*verse and go to bed.
But according to MURPHEY!! this is how things really went.
9am - kids got to school, hubby got to work.
11am- hubby calls and says one of his employees sprained his back and he can't make our lunch date.
12pm- walked to sho-sho's bus. Bus drove by us and I thought we were early and that it would come back so we continue to the bus stop.(The bus normally drops the morning kids off, goes down the hill and then comes back up to pick up afternoon kids.) Other mom at the bus stop got her son on the bus and then freaked when the bus did not stop for us. She calls 911 with my cell and reports this bus. Bus never comes back to get Sho-sho. I call the school and then the transportation dept.. School has no sign of the bus, but transportation says bus is 5 minutes from school and will come back in 10 minutes to get Sho-sho. (No thanks! I can walk to the school faster than that.) so we walked to the school.
1pm- got back from the school, made some lunch, and dropped most of it on the floor. Dogs had a good lunch!!
1:30- started to watch movie.
2:30- hubby gets home from work. No time to do anything but sit and watch movie.
2:45- go to pick up kids.
3:15- restart movie
5:15- leave to get pizzas , did not watch last 15 minutes of movie.
5:30- pick up pizzas, spill pop in driver's seat, and sit in it!!!! Good times!
5:45 - go home to change pants. I get out of the car and hear air bubbles coming off back tire!! WONDERFUL!!
5:50- Traffic up the butt on Division, impossible to cross. Had to drive 4 blocks up to stoplight just to get across.
6:10- get to school. all the cupcakes are taken and just in the time for me to say"Hi" to Mrs. J, all the Rocky's pizza's are taken.
6:45- finished craft and pizza and opted to leave. Called hubby to tell him about the tire and he asks what did I run over? (Who knows? there is so much crap on the street and the city has run out of funds to clean the streets.)
7- get home and found there is nothing good to eat at home. so went and ate mcbarfo's.
7:20- home again. Turned on movie and completely hated this day
9pm- forced kids to go to bed. Lights out no tv. Just bed.
This morning we woke up and hubby put the fix a flat stuff in wrong tire last night. Thank goodness he bought 2 cans!! Then put it in the right tire.
Today? So far so good. I just hope this day goes better than yesterday. Oh and did I mention that I am home alone with the kids this weekend and now with limited car use. Happy times!!

Busy week
Things have been so busy this past week. I was running all over the place on Friday. I started the day going to the store to get last minute things for CJs 7th b-day party. When I got home, I had an email from another mom that also has a child in the play that Sneezer is in, asking me to bring snack. So that was on my list of things to do before I got to the school that day. Then, while putting together goody bags for the party, Sneezer calls saying she needs money for her v-day party at school. Alright so now I have to go to the store and then get to the school early to get money to Sneezer. Then seconds after that call, I get another call that is hubby calling to ask me to pick up his prescriptions and bring them to him for his tooth. Alright!! So much for a shower!
So I got hubby's meds, dropped them off downtown and then came back up north to get to the store to get snacks for the kids in the play, and then over to the school to get money to Sneezer before helping out in CJ's class. On the way to CJ's class, I find that there is a sub. I, being the person I am, thought the worst and that something had happened to Mrs. J's babies. Well I was close. She was having contractions and her Doc. has put her on partial bedrest. So she works in the mornings and has a sub in the afternoon. The sub is awesome and still wants me to come in a help, so no stay at home boredom for me, Yay!! On this day the class was scheduled to watch a movie, so I asked Sho-sho's teacher if she would like some help and she did, so I helped out in her classroom.
I should point out here that b/c of my volunteering at the school I have finally made up my mind as to what I want to do with my life. I am going to go into the teaching program at the community college. I can credit Mrs. J for that. I kind of always wanted to be a elem. school teacher and with Mrs. J giving me the oppurtunity to help in the class, I want to do that even more now. I know it is about4-6 years of schooling, but I really want to do this!
So now here we are this week. I went and helped out in CJ's classroom yesterday and will continue to do so for as long as the sub wants me to.
Today me and hubby are going out for lunch for our V-day date. He has to work tomorrow and I will be at the school and then this weekend he has to go out of town, so today was the only time to have our v-day. Tonight there is a family night at the school that we are going to, minus hubby. He had plans with friends before we made plans for family night. Then tomorrow is V-day parties that I will be helping out with. Friday Sneezer has rehearsals and there is no school. The kids have a 4 day weekend! So it is just me and them. Any suggestion on something fun and inexpensive that we could do?

Snow days!!
First off, in case you haven't noticed, I didn't end up setting this blog to private. It is a good thing that I didn't. The most amazing thing happened! From my blog about my neighbor that had passed, his son found me and emailed me and I got to know more about him and he got to see another side of his dad! It was such a blessing!!
On to news about the kids. Such a busy month this month. Hubby has a infection in a tooth and was just miserable for the last few weeks until the meds. kicked in. He is doing better now and his face is not so swollen.
The last week of January a bad snow storm hit us dropping a couple of feet of snow in just two days. Roads were so bad that school buses were unable to drive on the side streets causing them to cancel school. On that Monday, we hung out at home and absorbed the miracle that the school's superintendent finally got their head out of their ass and canceled school. There was just no way that I was going to drive anywhere in that crap. Roofs were collapsing and so many car accidents. Just wasn't worth my life to get the kids to school!
Tuesday we made plans to go sledding at a nearby park with some friends of the kids. But they were cancelled because the other mom felt it was too cold to be outside. Wednesday was a better day for that. So we met them at the park and the kids were having loads of fun. Then my older daughter was having difficulty mounting her sled off the starting ramp that was made by someone the was there prior to us. I opted to demonstrate how she should mount it.
BIG MISTAKE!!
I got on the sled and went down ths hill. First bump was good, but turned me around. Second bump I got alot of air and was sitting way wrong on the board and when I came down I heard it.
CRUNCH!!
My knew I broke something in my lower back or tailbone. I got up and walked back up the hill, thinking the pain would subside and I would just be sore. But then everything went white. I could only lay on the ground in the snow. I knew I did something really bad and I just knew that I needed to get home. Everytime I stood up, everything would go white, but I had to get these kids home and get home myself. I had my four kids and 2 other kids that the other mom had dropped off and was not coming back to pick them up for another hour or so. We made it home and I called hubby and he came home to get me to the hospital. I called my mom to have her come watch the kids, but then later in the day opted not to go. I was more than certain that it was my tailbone that I had broken and there was nothing that anyone could do for a broken tailbone, I just needed to rest it. I was in total pain and just really did not want to move.
Now, 2 weeks later, I am able to sit in a chair. It still hurts to bend and get back up from sitting, but I am getting better.
The kids had no school for the rest of the week, which was the best thing that could have happened for me, seeing how I would not have been able to get them to school.
But now I have learned my lesson that I am too old to go sledding!!!
