It's all about me

Yesterday

2009-04-19T04:41:00.001-07:00

What a beautiful day we had yesterday. We started off with a trip to the feed store in Ortonville. It is called Hamiltons I think. What an awesome place! Super cheap and the staff was awesome! Joey got some seed and they had lots of baby chickens and ducks. They were all sold though :( Lucky for me also has chickens. We bought 6. One is Squishy, he is the boy. Another is Jose de Pepe and another is Meeeghan. The others are yet to be named. They all look alike except for Squishy cause he is all yellow. Is it ethically/morally wrong to Magic Marker them so I can tell them apart?Rissa tried to eat one when we turned our backs or maybe she was played with it. Who knows??? She plucked it out of the box though but we caught her. We also now have hawks circling. They too want to eat my new friends.

A new funny Kyle story.............

So Kyle has a chicken tender on a fork and walks up to the box of baby chicks. He says "I'm gonna show them my chicken nugget. " I say "Kyle that's cruel, that could be their Mom". Kyle looks at them, looks at it and is perfectly still for about 45seconds while his brain is going full speed. He then blurts out........"I AM GOING TO EAT IT, I AM GOING TO EAT THEIR MOTHER!" Nice.

Miranda Kyle and I planted bulbs. I thought 160 is not a lot of bulbs. It kinda is. My Dad said watch it cause the squirrels will steal them. I said no there are never squirrels in the front they always stay in the back and eat the birdseed. I woke up to a squirrel in the front yard, I think he was laughing at me.

Finally an update..

2009-04-06T17:30:00.000-07:00

Been busy doing a whole lot of nothing. I ordered some bulbs and they should come soon. This is my first time planting bulbs so I am hoping for good things. Joe has been busy outside cleaning up. Steve the neighbor brought his tractor over and they worked outside almost all day Sunday. He got some of his food plot area planted so he is happy about that.

It is almost time for Miranda's three year old pictures. Uggg! I guess I just need something to obsess over. I do like to shop for clothes. It works out cause she loves her princess dresses and changes six times a day. The picture people at Walmart must see the word sucker tattooed on my forehead.

Looking forward to everyone coming over for Easter on Sunday. The kids love to do the egg hunt and there is always plenty of good food.

Potholes

2009-03-15T07:13:00.001-07:00

I think the potholes are trying to kill me.

Meet Roo

2009-01-16T17:33:00.000-08:00

Well we finally broke down and found a friend for Riker. Her name is Rissa. I actually have some sort of mental block on that so I call her Reeka. Whatever. She doesn't seem to care! Her former owners said she answer to Rissa Roo so sometimes we just call her Roo. She came to live with us last Sunday. She was very,very thin. I heard a story that she was depressed because she was "acting" mother for a litter of pups and the pups were sold. Poor girl! She is doing great and has gained some weight. She is super lovey and a really good girl. Once we got past the first few days where Riker tried to hump her all the time we were fine. Roo is spayed and we have decided to neuter Riker as well. Joe thinks its an insult but I vote for neuter. She runs out in the yard and comes back immediately when you call her. She is such a good dog! What is great about that is now Riker follows her so instead of dashing off to the neighbors he actually stays in the yard. A miracle!
As you can see Riker has been given an area on the floor and Reeka has made the sofa her home. It is a bad habit I will break soon. Hopefully.

Happy New Year!

2009-01-04T16:19:00.000-08:00

Well it's time to get back to the crazy schedule that is the Miller life. Kyle is starting a new Scout group so that should take away some of the pain. Karate is done unless we decide to continue at the actual school in Fenton. Pierce only has 3 more basketball games and then tournaments and he is finished.

So what's next......Possibly dance for Miranda? Baseball for Pierce? Soccer for Kyle? I am sure we can find something to keep the chaos intact.

New Years Eve was a quiet one. Jim and Kelly came over and we kinda just hung out. The boys were up north so Miranda was glad to have Dylan to play with. Riker also ended his year off right thanks to Kelly. If you get a chance check out Joe's new site lowermichiganpics.blogspot.com

Time flies...

2008-12-28T12:05:00.000-08:00

Wow haven't posted in a while....Not as bad as Kelly who hasn't posted since July.

Enjoying some quiet time right now. The boys are up north with Grandma and Grandpa Miller. Ann, Rich and the kids are there too. They always love to go up. I don't have any time off so I won't be making it up for the holidays.

Colored my hair today. The greys were attacking so it was time!

Trying to clean up the chaos that Christmas created. Ugg what a mess. Of course the one thing I need to return I have no receipt!!!! I will find it. Maybe.

Here are some pics....

The Shop-a-thon

2008-11-30T07:16:00.000-08:00

Well Black Friday is done! I scooped up some fabulous deals on Thursday. Joe and I went out Friday and had fun. We woke up 2hrs late but we did not really miss out on anything. There wasn't a lot of things that we had to have. This probably completes 80% of my shopping hooray!!!!

Pierce wants a lizard. I found some on craigslist and now just have to decide if I really want to go there. The trips to the store are a pain to buy crickets all the time. Breed our own? I don't know. I have my doubts he will feed one pet let alone the lizard and the crickets.

Gotta run Miranda is making me nuts!!!!

My Little Angel

2008-11-25T01:09:00.000-08:00

Why am I up this early? Cause my little Angel has horns. She finally woke me up at 3. I lasted about an hour as she poked prodded and layed on top of me, sideways. Sometimes I guess she is just not tired.

I am a bit concerned about her skin again. We had that bout of Impetigo over the summer. Then a random spot looking the same October. Last night she had something that looked different on her arm. It was bumps that looked like they had a black dot in the middle. She itched them which of course made it look worse. We put on the cream from last time and now it just looks like a scratched area. I am wondering if she has eczema. My kids all have weird bumpy skin so I would not be surprised.

Have a good day everyone!

Black Friday.....

2008-11-22T05:38:00.000-08:00

It's almost time! I am so excited to do my annual Black Friday shopping. There was some concern that my work was gonna not give me the day off but they did. I have been searching adds frantically and don't see anything we HAVE to have. Kinda a let down. I will still be out there throwing elbows with everyone else! What is everyone else looking for? I may be able to hunt for you as well? I am hearing the Nerf Vulcan is a big deal this year.

This is the second weekend in a row without any plans. This never happens to me. I was gonna do Cub Scout training but they seriously angered me. We may defect entirely. Kyle likes it though so I am trying to be adult about it. Seriously, 3 months in, I am a treasurer with no idea how much money we have, how much money we need and no bank account. SPLENDID!

Pierce is having his Scoutmaster conference at the McNeely's house today. After this he only has one more step before he moves up a rank! Hooray!

I just fixed Miranda's beautiful blue nail polish so she doesn't look a wreck. I may try to con Joe into painting the hallway. My beautiful princess colored her bedroom walls a lovely red last week and then colored the dining room walls a nice shade of blue a few days back. Pierce needed a beat down and was volunteered to scrub said walls. He did a great job!

I am off to the grocery store.........

The Weekend

2008-11-02T12:24:00.000-08:00

Halloween is finally over! We had fun trick or treating in Richmond with Steve and the kids. I let each of the boys pick out 20 pieces of candy to keep and put the rest in a bag to take to work. Of course Miranda dumped that big bag of candy into her princess bag and has been carrying it around all day. I will post pics soon.

Yesterday I spent my day at Scouting University. It was actually pretty cool. My favorite classes were winter camping (You can make snowshoes from PVC pipe) and first aid, we made blood with Cocoa and Glycerine).

Joe took the kids to Scouting for food on Saturday morning. They stuck it out like troopers and passed out 2500 bags as a group. Please, if you are able, donate to this great cause. Next week I will take the boys back out and pick everything up.

Today we are sick. Miranda was just inconsolable this morning. Joe took her to the DR. He has a respiratory infection and she has an earache. I am pretty sure I have something gross as well. Fun stuff.

Monday will be Kyle's 3rd week in Karate. I think he is getting his left from his right. Okay not completely but he is getting better.

Tuesday we have Scouts for both boys.

Wednesday we are going to the annual show for St. Mary's Retreat House. Joe and Rick work there. This year it's a comedy show, a clean comedy show, but still it should be fun. We always have a great time and it's fun to dress up and have a nice night out.

Mom and her Sisters are leaving to go see Aunt Clara, in Wisconsin this coming weekend. Pray for the people on the Amtrack with them. Four Matusiks gets a little rowdy.

I am off to my scout meeting...Enjoy your week everyone.

Halloween Fun

2008-10-24T16:31:00.000-07:00

Joe and I took the kids to the Trick or Treat at the Mill pond. Unfortunately the kids Trunk or treat got canceled due to a lack of participation. We went through the building and got lots of goodies. They really did a great job with the decorating. The kids had fun but I think it might be time for Pierce to be done. Really at 11? I think so. He has very little interest in the whole costume/candy racket. Why are my children not motivated by candy? Seriously when I as little we went out for a full 2 hours, planned the route ahead of time and were beat down tired when we were through. My children could go around one block and ask to go home.

Last weekend our friends Sam and Kristie came over and we went to the Terror in Townsend forest at the Waterford Sportsmen's club. We had a few cocktails and a good time. Joe was not able to stay with the group and we had to leave em.

I got the results back from my sleep study. I do not have sleep apnea. I probably do not have narcolepsy(thank God) but I am oddly tired. I was able to sleep from 9 until eight the next morning and then take 5 naps the next day. At each nap I fell asleep within 2.4 minutes. I told you people I was tired! See Julie matching issues, we really are family! I originally went in because of the crazy sleepwalking/talking but the biggest issue was my nodding off while driving. Not Safe! They gave me a drug called Provigil, it's like speed. I took it yesterday at 9am and did not fall asleep until 3am. I may need a lower dosage. Of course the doctor recommended I lose weight, as they all do. The skinny hag behind the counter highlighted that area for me. She was so lucky I am both fat and tired or I would jumped threw the little window!

I survived....

2008-10-12T15:14:00.000-07:00

Pierce and I went on a camping trip with Troop 43 this weekend. Although I was pretty sure I was gonna freeze to death on Friday nite we had a fun time.

Clare's Baptism

2008-10-05T13:58:00.000-07:00

I took a few pics at Clare's Baptism......Still waiting on Jackie to send me the rest. The ceremony went well. Of course with the Last name beginning with A we got to go first. We kinda just guessed and it all worked out. No one dropped the baby so that was good. It was wierd being at a Catholic church ceremony. It almost felt like being an alien from another planet observing customs. The church I went to as a child did the whole sit, stand ,kneel thing. There was no kneeling but twice as much sit and then stand. I learned there can be two preachers but one is a deacon because he was married before he became a preacher. Does that sound right? I think that was it. Clare was absolutely beautiful in her white dress!

Halloween......

2008-10-05T13:42:00.000-07:00

It's Halloween again. This weekend we went to the Millers (not related) annual Halloween Party. One again Dan and Cindy topped last year. There were bounce houses, a straw pit, fishing, ghost toss, a golden goose, frankenstein golf, sack races, walk the plank and all kinds of awesome kids stuff! Then there was the Haunted House. Once again a fabulous job. Joe got to be a scary creature this year. I got a behind the scenes look when I went over Friday and Cindy and I created a room of balloons. They were hung everywhere with fishing line. Both my toes and fingers were numb but in the end it was really cool.

A Big Congrats to Dan and Cindy who renewed their wedding vows at the party. 15 years is a long time.

Today I went shopping and bought the boys some school pants. Pierce is in the middle school this year so he can wear cargo pants. He is very excited about that.

Joe is out hunting. I hope he gets a deer early this year. He was quite angry he woke up late today.

Happy Birthday!

2008-10-02T18:32:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Sarah!!!! Hope you had a great one!!!

Happy Birthday Jen!

2008-09-13T16:11:00.001-07:00

A big Happy Birthday to my cousin Jen! I hope you have a great one!

Blueberry Festival & First Day of school

2008-09-04T15:21:00.000-07:00

It's Back....................

2008-08-30T15:41:00.000-07:00

What back you say??? The screaming delirium that is Michigan football. As I type Joe is emitting high pitch screaming noises. I myself am not a fan but he has enough for both of us.

We volunteered at Arts Beats and Eats this weekend on the Green Team. We spent our time as trash directors. It was fairly long and painful but it was for a great cause. The folks who put this festival together sure work hard at it. This was the first year for the Green Team but I think it went well. They were trying to get a 95% efficiency rate but I think even 50% saves a ton. They have forks that are potato based that break down in 45 days! It is something ridiculous like 200 years for a regular plastic fork. Joe stayed home on Saturday with the kids but Sam, Kristie and I returned for our second shift.

It's time for back to school again. We went to open house last Wednesday and met the teachers. Pierce has a lot of male teachers this year and I think that will help him. He also has an odd class list that includes Quiz Bowl, Book Club, Horticulture and Viking Lore. Welcome to sixth grade. Kyle will be in Mrs Plewka's class. She seems to be very nice.

Reunion and Barn Party

2008-08-10T15:47:00.000-07:00

The Matusik Family reunion and Uncle Joe's Barn party fell on the same day this year. We were kept busy. I have a funny story about the getting ready for these events. I get dressed in my fairly nice clothes and then my husband says to me...Is it time to go? I have to put on my good CAMO shorts. There go all my high society illusions. We may be on COPS next right after the Ingman episode.

Aunt Polly's was fun. Got to see some of the people I don't usually get to see. My cousin Annette might have a bra party. That will be fun. Julie and Megan were there. Megan and Miranda colored together. Uncle Ernie got a surprise cake for his 80th birthday.

We went to Uncle Joe's barn party next. I was very happy to see Aunt Katie and Uncle Jim made it from up north. I also got to see my cousin Melanie and her son Keene, who is already gonna turn one! What a cutie he is!!! I only got a couple pictures there. It was raining so we didn't get to stay long. I did get a picture on my cousins Danielle and Marlena and one of Miranda trying to steal the golf cart. Miranda attempted to sit in the pond. That's my girl. It's always nice to see the little ones. My cousin Jenny's daughter Lilly is adorable, she is right around Mirandas age. My cousin Jill brought her son Colton and he and Miranda played in the wet sand toys together.

Zoo Day..

2008-08-10T15:30:00.000-07:00

Jackie invited us to the zoo on Saturday. It was Detroit Edison Day. We went on the walk and saw the animals. They let us in at 7:45, which was neat because they seemed more active than they usually do. The kids all had a lot of fun. Nick wasn't happy about sitting in his stroller and Miranda was crazy angry about her wagon. Whatever, there was a good chance they would have been eaten by the Lion if we let them run. Thanks Jackie!! It was lots of fun.

Pierce's Birthday!!!

2008-08-10T15:24:00.000-07:00

My baby boy turned 11 on the fifth of August. He is growing into a fine young man. A little sassy but what can you do? We all love him very much. Here are some pics from his family party here at the house. Later we are going to take him and a few friends to Gameworks.

Rebecca all growed up and Sprinkler park

2008-07-26T15:43:00.000-07:00

Kyle was invited to a birthday party for Leah and Abby today at the splash park in Clarkston. I took the rest of the kids cause it looked like so much fun!

I actually think Rosie had the most fun. The water was freezing cold!

These are some practice pics Canela did of Becca. As you all know it's her Senior year and she needs Senior Pics. I got to dress her like a doll today and go through all my jewelry. We picked out 5 outfits to try some more poses. Will post those later. Any suggestions on where I should take em?

Happy Birthday Kyle Joe!

2008-07-23T16:17:00.000-07:00

Above. Kyle got a spy kit from Tom B. We all loved the mustache. As you can see Becca was especially pretty.

My baby boy is six today. We had cake and opened presents. He then went outside with his dancing shoes to ride his skateboard.

The End of the Mini Vacation

2008-07-13T15:03:00.000-07:00

Today is the last day of the mini vacation. I took Thurs and Friday off. Joe took Friday off. We did a whole lot of nothing. We bummed around at Kmart and did some garage sales. Went to breakfast yesterday and lunch at Chungs today. We spent most of today lounging in the pool. I got a new floaty. Good Stuff!

I am posting some pics of Tom and Miranda floating around. She got her first underwater experience when she did a header off the raft. She didn't cry though. As you can see Lou we did get the water to turn blue. No more peeing in the pool Joe!

Back to work tomorrow. And Happy Birthday to Mike tomorrow! He has mentioned going to Cruefest on Tuesday. Hmmmm..... My old husband says he can't go on a weeknight. Does this sound like the Joe anyone knows? Saturday is Kid Rock with Jen and Steve. I am sooooo excited! I plan to be roll down the hill intoxicated.

We finally got a Wii Fit! I love it! I can't wait til the boys get home to try it. It says I'm obese and the little person makes bad noises when I step on, but it does it to Becca too.

Sunday!

2008-07-06T14:28:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Brandon!!!!

Who stole Pierce's Toy?

2008-07-05T18:09:00.001-07:00

Scott and Joe went joyriding this evening! Scott wiped out it was kinda funny.

Fireworks

2008-07-05T08:23:00.000-07:00

Joe and I took the kids and Rosie to the fireworks in Holly last night. We had fun but Miranda was a little scared. She watched thru her fingers.

Barb and Dennis left with the kids today. We wish them a great trip.

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Tiger Game

2008-06-29T14:18:00.000-07:00

The boys went to the Tigers game. Here are some pics...

Happy Belated Birthday Matt!!!!

Hope you are having a great time in Florida!

The Weekend

2008-06-27T17:03:00.000-07:00

I have a very long week at work and so excited for the break. We are revamping the 3rd edition of the fourteenth plan. It makes my head hurt. Joe and Dennis finally got the pool up and looking good. The water is brown but we have to take it to the pool place to buy something to shock it. It is just the right size for Kyle. He and Miranda both love the pool. It is way too cold to swim in. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow is Kyle's last t-ball game. He loved it and will play again next year for sure. If the rain holds off I would like to go to some garage sales.

The Zoo

2008-06-10T14:58:00.000-07:00

Today was the kindergarten field trip to the Detroit Zoo. The boys behaved themselves, as much as a group of boys do anyway.....

And the Zoo feelin the love....

Turtle Power

2008-06-09T06:43:00.000-07:00

We have yet ANOTHER new visitor. This one a big female snapping turtle who we suspect laid eggs on the side of the hill. Riker went out to visit her but she wasn't real happy about that. I'm happy to say he still has a nose.

Miss Miranda's Birthday Party

2008-06-09T06:19:00.000-07:00

Well my baby is two already. I can hardly believe it. She was such a sweet baby and she has morphed into quite the sassy brat. We all love her so much. It was a fun day for all the kids playing in the sand and mud and the adults had fun too. I was nervous Miranda would not like the pinata but she did great. Here are some pics...

Welcome Baby Clare!

2008-06-01T08:39:00.000-07:00

Clare is here HOORAY! I got to visit baby Clare on Thursday. What a cutie! Congrats to Jackie, Jeff and Nick, you have a beautiful family! Jackie was not quite well yet from her meds but I will be by for a longer visit soon! Here are some pics...

Check me out...

2008-05-28T03:48:00.000-07:00

Miss Miranda got her ears pierced! My beautiful baby girl.

The Whistlepigs are attacking.....

2008-05-25T15:04:00.000-07:00

The beavers are building dams and ruining are tiny river. We just went to Bass Pro and bought fishing poles. Here are some pics....

This week

2008-04-23T02:30:00.000-07:00

Hi there! I am alone with the children this week. They may outnumber me but they did not manage to tie me up in a corner yet. I went scrappin on Sat. I got 13 pages done. I am waiting to see if my laptop can be fixed. It has been at Circuit City for 2 months now. Maybe one day. Having a potluck at work today. I am making Cheesy potatos. MMMMM!

Help me reach my goal!Sponsor Me at March for Babies!

2008-04-16T06:30:00.001-07:00

Riker Rez Rello

2008-04-12T16:31:00.000-07:00

Meet our new addition Riker. Joe and Tom win. No I did not name him. He came with the name. He and Ceaser are currently playing the Alpha dog game. I am pretty sure Ceaser will win. Will update soon.

Mirandas pics, Kyles tooths, and misc....

2008-04-06T16:04:00.000-07:00

Pierce and I took Miranda to Walmart for her 2 year pics. It was as predicted a crappy experience. Something about the background behind her creeped her out and she cried for the last half of them. Oh well, she did get some cute shots.

Tom and I took the boys to the pound on Saturday and playedwith some puppies. We aren't ready to choose just yet. Joe wants a new boxer and I want a fat ball of fur. We will agree soon.

Joe painted the garage and Miranda's room. We have to get her Dora stuff from Ebay and she will be all set. I am looking for the Dora storage thing with the plastic containers. The curtain rod I bought is too small so I need another one. Dammit!

Kyle Joe lost his first tooth!!! We were driving home from the store and he asked what was wrong with his tooth. I told him it was wiggly and was gonna fall out and the tooth fairy would come. About 10 minutes after we got home Kyle handed me his tooth! Not the giant mess we had with Pierce! The tooth fairy brought him $5 and he bought Pokemon cards.

Happy Easter

2008-03-23T08:29:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics from our Easter morning. We are waiting for the others to arrive for breakfast. We said 11 and it's 1130 so they should be here within the hour. It is the Miller way. Tom and Mike are going to hide the 180 eggs outside. Barb has been working hard and made cheesy potatoes and sausage. Stinky, stinky sausage. The nice thing is it stinks when you cook it then you get to smell it again in the form of burps. Good times. We really enjoy getting together and always have a great time. As you can see Tommy is very Happy for my Easter morning wake up call.

Barb and Dennis got back on Thursday night. It is good to see them again. We love going up and visiting for a week in Aug. Ann Rich and the girls are coming on Thursday.

Joe spent a long time working on the garage and has most of the insulation and drywall done. Denny is gonna come and mud it soon. Our next project is Miranda's room. My friend Cindy said she could paint me a big Dora on the wall. Cindy has MAD SKILLZ so I may take her up on it.

I hope everyone has a happy Easter.

Stuff

2008-03-17T03:53:00.000-07:00

Hello,
Just a quick update. Here's a cute pic of the kids on Punk Rock day.

Back from vacation

2008-02-17T08:26:00.000-08:00

We are back from our annual Great Wolf vacation. We all had a lot of fun. The boys loved the Magiquest game and Joe and I enjoyed our massages at the Elements spa. Miranda was our little waterbug and she really loved the arcade.

The Traverse city Great Wolf was pretty nice. I actually like the waterpark better at the Sandusky location. Miss Miranda was all about the water slide. Finally, I get a kid that's not afraid! Kyle moved up to the next level of slide so we were okay with that. Pierce found a friend and was off!!!

Joe and Miranda and I got to spend some quality time with some cocktails, Miranda had fries, while the boys ran around the hotel playing their game. So we did get to relax a bit. Vacation can be a bit scary when the kids outnumber you!

I would really like to go with someone else next year. It would be great for the kids to have someone to pal around with. Kyle kept going from the wood thing to the little pool and scared the heck out of Joe! Plus Joe and I purchased a giant beer tube thing that we had to drink all by ourselves. Now don't get me wrong, we managed!!!

It's Sunday again.....

2008-02-10T14:39:00.000-08:00

We had a pretty laid back weekend. Went out to Ikea yesterday. We only got to look at the top floor because we had the kids with us. Miranda ran around siting on everything like she had never seen a chair before. They have a daycare when you walk in but I was a little leery. Next time I'm droppin em off! There was lots of cool stuff. Kinda pricey but cool.

Joey and I went to dinner Friday night. The boys watched the kids. It was nice and quiet. We finally got to use our Olive Garden gift certificate. Then we ventured out to get a toilet seat. So after like two months of living with a broken seat we finally got a new one. I went to put it on today and it was broke!!!!!

Today we went out mattress shopping. We went to a little store that had a sweet set for 1099. Yes it is painful but we have a king size bed. So I said let's look around and we went to Gardner White. We found another cool set by VERA WANG (Why anyone would care I have no IDEA!) for a mere 2 grand. So we tell the guy we don't want a beautyrest because ours sucks and it broke after the five year warranty was up. Another guy comes over and says that has a ten year warranty!!! So a repair guy is coming to see if we can get a new one for free. SWEET! Since we moved it to a new house it will only cover a manufacturers defect, but why not try?

We also went to the Vitamin Shop. We got stuff to get rid of parasites and other creepy crawlies living in you. Gross!!! A friend of mine told me a gross story, that I will spare you, and needless to say I bought the stuff. I also bought some Slim Quick, why you ask? Cause I'm a sucker for commercials. It's says I will be thin if I eat well and exercise. Yep, I would probably be thin if I did those things without it. Now I must buckle down. I have to report to the weight loss man at work that I have not lost any weight again. This is the last week for that silliness. So I blew the first 3 weeks in the 12 wk challenge. Now I will FOCUS. Dammit, I drank water!!!!!

Finally posting some pics of McLovin!!!! He and Ceaser have become best buds. I think I planted the idea for a puppy and then Tommy joined in. We looked for a while at all the shelters and I finally found him in the Flint Journal. Pierce and I ventured out to the ghetto, not once but twice, and picked him up. Some dummy paid the deposit for him but never picked him up. Good for me. He had two sisters that the guy wanted to sell me for a deal. I tried to get my Dad to take one but no luck. He has his papers which is cool should we want to stud him later. His Dad was pure white which is kinda rare in Boxers. The boys love ruff housing with him. We are crate training him just like we did Ceaser. The vet says he will be about 50lbs. I will have a small dog!!! Well Ceaser is 117lbs so I guess it's all relative. Ceaser has actually pepping up a bit. He runs and plays outside with Mc. His hips don't seem to be bothering him as much. He is going to be 9 in March. I'm not sure how much longer we will have him.

Who said Sunday was supposed to be lazy......

Well I don't belive it. Today is my only day off and I hae a crap load of things to do. The really sucky part is I cannot move. I don't know if I pinched something or slept wrong but by back is killing me! I took half a vicodan and hour ago and it still is not feelingh any better. This happens to me every few months. Old age at it's finest.

Of course there is laundry to do. I may be the only one who understands after you wash the clothes they go in the dryer. If they sit in the washer you must rewash or stink like nasty mildew. Tommy did have the luxury of wearing one of these shirts to work!! HEHE!

Joey is wanting to make chili for the Superbowl this evening. I must go to the grocery store for those ingredients. Hopefully our cow will come soon. I am tired of paying big bucks for less than qulity steaks.

i must shower

Pinewood Derby

2008-01-26T16:18:00.000-08:00

Grandma and Grandpa came out to see the Derby and we went to Lucky's Steakhouse for lunch.

Here are some pics of the Derby Pierce got 9th.

He had an awesome Metallica car this year!

We are going to finish up cleaning today. The boys are at my parents and we are enjoying our time with the Banana. I rented War with Jason Stratham. I love him!! He was awesome in Crank! We had the option to work today but I am hideously lazy, so that didn't happen. I have been going in early and staying late trying to get this portion of this project done. With the crappy traffic it doesn't make a huge difference if I leave at 5 or 6.
