Stand By Me

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little sister Maddie! Hope your day is FANTABULOUS!!!! Plus, it's her due date today with baby #3!!! Good luck with that, too! Boys are SO different that girls. I like boys better, myself. hehe. Go eat some cake for me!!!! And ice cream too!!!

Hey, I totally remembered to load my store this week! Oh yeah! I'm on the ball! Woo hoo! hehe :) Isn't that sad. My drugs must be working properly now - hehe :) Click HERE to go to my store to check out this weeks new releases, and to check out the newer stuff that's in there. You may be surprised at all the NEW stuff from the past few weeks that magically appeared there!!!

Morning, y'all! I woke up at 5:25am, got Jake ready for school, and headed off to Seminary. And had a nice little nap, snuggled nicely into my blanket. I love that little blanket. It's SO snuggely. Maybe that's what I should call it. Mr. Snuggely. That's kinda' dumb, but I like it.

Anyway, Jake woke me up after, and we headed home. Tom headed off to school at 7am, and I got the other kids ready for school, and headed to the bus. The moms chatted for a while, and we saw Jake head off to his bus. Poor Amanda was sick. She looked pretty bad. Poor girl :( I hate it when my friends are sick...

I got home and sat on the couch with the dog for a few minutes. I closed my eyes for about 15 minutes, then decided that I should go do something productive. So I went to take a shower and get ready for the day. I sewed up my new skit (it was a HUGE size but super cute), and even snapped a few photos.



There ya go, Captain America! Non goofy photos! It IS possible - hehe :) I didn't wanna just sit home, so I decided to go and fill the car up with gas, and go to Big Lots before picked up Kari for the movies. First stop, Shoppette. I got my 8+ gallons of gas, and go this for free! Sure, it's no Kit Kat or snickers, but yeah, it WAS free... some kid should like it...
And I got this for me :) It's just sad that Diet Coke is now better than Diet Dr Pepper...
Here's me on the way to Big Lot's rappin'. Yeah, it's my rappin' face. I don't know why my lips stick out like that. hehe. They just do. I bet you wish you could come and go on a drive with me, huh? Or to a dance with me? Oh yeah!

I found a few clearance snacks at Big Lots, and a clearance Scarecrow for the Front yard. The kids have been on me to get something to put in the front yard for days. And I finally did :)

I came back to post, hurried home, dropped off the scarecrow, put some carmel corn into individual bags, put some pretzel pieces in bags, and headed to pick up Kari. And off to the movies we went. Since we're taking the kids tomorrow, we decided to skip snacks today. No point spending tons of money if we don't have to, right?

We smuggled in snacks (naughty, I know... Don't tell on us), and only paid $4.50 for the first movie of the day matinee. The show started at 11am, and we were the only people in the theater! 2 more came about 10 minutes into the movie. I really liked it! Contagion. It was a good one. I think Kari liked it too :)

After the movie, Kari and I stopped by the Jewelry Box. Kari got a few pairs of Sunglasses. I got a sunglasses, some nail polish, and some dollar bags of jewelry. We paid, and headed home. I dropped her off, and went home to check on the dog.

Boxer had made a HUGE mess, but I figured that since it was only about an hour until Tom was supposed to get home, that I'd let him clean up the mess. Yeah, not nice of me, I know. But I wasn't then one that wanted to get the pet.... Not a good excuse, I know.... Shame on me.

So I grabbed my computer and nail polish, and headed to Amanda's house. We did our nails, and she edited some photos, and I worked on loading my store. Then, right before the bus came, we made a quick Sonic run.

Here's me in my new "Maggie" glasses from Jewelry Box at Amanda's house

And me wearing my new pink earrings from the Jewelry box

Here's me heading out to go to Sonic. Freaking glasses go stuck on my hair!!!

See my nails! Aren't they pretty! I did a different color of glitter polish on each nail to see which I liked the best. i think I like the thick blue the best. And my fluffy pink ring.
So since my Topomax is now making me not hungry, I decided that for this one day, I was gonna take advantage of it. And eat a Sonic Blast mini Oreo. For dinner. Because I wouldn't be hungry later. Sigh. It was so good!

Washed down by at RT 44 Diet Dr Pepper. Remind me to get a Coke Zero next time. DDP isn't my favorite on Topomax. Nasty stuff on these drugs.... Blasphemy, I know...
We headed back to post, and to the bus stop. And finished up our ice cream. Then chatted with the ladies at the bus stop. I'd left my car at Amanda's house, and told her that I'd just walk over before Soccer and pick it up. She was fine with that.

I walked my kids home after the bus, and we all worked on chores. The house looked TONS better after. But dang kids were whiny! Especially Tom. I think maybe he was having his man's time of the month or something? I don't know. Super sensitive... Anyway, they eventually got it cleaned. It was super messy from the dog.

Soon, it was clean, and electronics was opened up. Homework was done, and the neighbor kids came over to play. Joe got ready for Soccer, and the kids had leftovers for dinner. Joe and I walked over to Amanda's house around 5:15 to get the car, then drove to Soccer.

I hung with Kari for the game, and her Hubby Brian came at the end. He's a real good guy. We headed home at 6:30pm, and the kids all had free time until 8pm. I blogged during that time and finished loading my store. I'm tying up right now, and am gonna go put the little kids to bed. Gotta make sure they pick out their clothes for tomorrow. That sure helps in the morning rush...

Tomorrow, we're gonna go eat lunch with the little kids at school. We had SO much fun last week, that we're totally doing it again this week. Ha! And we have plans to take them to the movies in the evening too. Captain America, Smurfs, Harry Potter II, and Cars II are all at the $2 theater tomorrow :) Should be a good time!
