Busy busy week last week with tons of schoolwork…and tons of play!

Wednesday: Studio Movie Grill…I’ve never been before, but I really liked the relaxing eat and watch a movie atmosphere. It was tons of fun.

Thursday: Truck shopping…my good friend Robert bought a truck and the kids and I went with him.

Friday: Soccer, haunted house, and late night Denny’s…So the team we were supposed to play didn’t show up to play soccer so my team had the opportunity to just play for fun. It was tons of fun, since we got to scrimmage, my friend Robert got to play with us too. Afterwards Rob and I drove to Lewisville to pick up his sister Wendy to go to a haunted house in Fort Worth….it was pretty awesome. When we were done with the haunted house, we went to Denny’s at like 3 in the morning…I don’t know when the last time I did that was. It was an awesomely fun night.

Saturday: On Saturday, my friend and I went to a place called Speed Zone. Robert and I went directly across the street and went on the Skycoaster while we waited for his friend Josh to show up. When Josh got there he had brought cupcakes from Sprinkles Cupcakes. I had heard about it before but never tasted the deliciousness that is Sprinkles. We rode go carts on the slick track at Speed Zone and then paid competitive Skee Ball. It was so much fun hanging out with those two guys. After we used up all of the funds on our game cards, Josh left to go swing dance and Robert and I went back over to the place across the street to Bungee Jump. Rob got some video on his iphone so we’ll see if I can post that sometime. We actually called it a pretty early night since I was so tired from Friday night.

Sunday: Dallas World Aquarium, Carriage ride, and more Sprinkles Cupcakes…Josh met a friend when he left Robert and I to go swing dancing. He talked to Robert because he was going to go to the Dallas World Aquarium. So, Robert got invited, but didn’t want to be a third wheel…then Robert invited me to go with them. It was tons of fun. Afterwards, there were carriages right outside the DWA so we decided to ride. Totally fun. Then we got more cupcakes.

Such a busy fun week I had!

today my son was playing with my cleavage and i said eb, don't do that...why did you do that...and he goes "because it's fun mommy!"

Instead of going to sleep, I messed around with my blog...now I really AM tired. I'll fix it tomorrow...hopefull, if I'm not reading for Geology or studying for that Art test.

My body is tired, but my brain wants to have a party.

I'm so tired. I really am. I think it's allergy related. I'm sitting here with eyes watering up...not because of crying or anything...they are also....boogering up because of the whole allergy thing. I have tons of random stuff on my mind like usual. I figured I'll just get it all out on my blog, then maybe sleep will take over. This weekend I need to go to school to take a test for an Art class. I have to read 2 chapters of my Geology book and take a quiz on it by Monday. It feels like a lot in my head, but I guess it isn't much. I think the issue is that the school work doesn't stop. I mean, it's not really an issue, I like it...but it just doesn't ever put my mind to ease. Next week I have a Geology test and I have to give a "how-to" speech in my speech class. I have no problem speaking in front of the people, in fact, it would probably be more difficult to get me to stop talking...but a how to speech? What do I know how to do? Finding a topic is eating at my brain. Not only that, but she, the teacher, was using how to bake cookies as an example...and she was like "blah blah blah most delicious cookies ever!" trying to make it sound all exciting...is this a persuasive speech or a how to speech? It makes me feel like I'm not good at much...how to how to how to...I DON'T KNOW! I have a quiz due on Sunday? I don't even know when it's due, I don't have the book. It's not a large enough portion of my grade...and apparently half of the class couldn't get the book either, so he basically said not to worry about it. Sorry if none of this is making sense...I'm not really blogging for the sake of blogging...I'm emptying my brain.

So that's school. I get my grant money this week. I'm more anxious about then I was before...reason...my computer got viruses!!! I have NO clue how...hoping my dad and little bro never catch site of this post...I secretly think one of them was using my computer and got me some neat-o, unwanted spyware. I'm using my laptop for school and personal...use...but the desktop is what I use for work...and it's been a pain working because it runs all slow now. On one hand...at least it's not my new computer all spywared up..on the other hand...if my old computer could have just waited two more weeks!!!!

My brain is also in Holiday mode. And I don't just mean Halloween...it's on to Thanksgiving and Christmas too. I had this cute little idea on what to dress the kids up as for Halloween...but lately they are both just so opinionated, so I feel like they'd be more excited picking out their own costumes. Unfortunately for Ella and yet luckily she's easy going...I think I'll pick out matching costumes more suited for Eb...I have an idea and if you know my little man, you could easily guess...but I might change my mind...I still have a month and a half!!! Yes, Christmas is also in the brain. I already have a present for both of them because they were on clearance!!! Originally 50 dollars, purchased for...25!!! I'm amazing. I want to get the most BANG for my buck...I think I'm going to do the day after Thanksgiving shopping thing again...I did it for the first time a few years ago and have been a believer ever since.

Lastly on the brain...VACATIONS!!!! In 3 weeks...just 3 weeks...I get my first ME vacation. I took one vacation when married...a year and a half ago...my family went to San Antonio. It wasn't much of a vacation. I felt like I was babysitting more than my two kids if you get my drift. In February I took a trip to Utah...and while it was pleasant, I was there to get stuff out of storage. So FINALLY, a ME trip. My precious friend and I are going to Shreveport, Louisianna. I don't think I've ever been TOO Louisianna, just through it on the way to Florida. Quite honestly, I'm going to be gambling. I intend to purchase steak...I intend to sleep a lot...and I intend to win...or lose some money. Then after Louisianna...the vacation comes back to Dallas...for more relaxation! My children will be with their father for 3 whole nights. I'm not trying to say anything bad about him, but well, I'm a little nervous about that and I plan on giving him every emergency number possible. After that vacation...in 4 weeks...my staycation with the kids. I was already planning it, I think I wrote about it before...a trip to Glen Rose, TX. I'm excited. It's mostly a dinosour and animal related trip...there's a new show on PBS called Dinosaur Train. My kids love it and So maybe it'll make our staycation even more exciting.


Anyways, hopefully I have sufficiently emptied my brain. I'll post a picture or two of the kids later this month. Goodnight!!!...I hope!!!

I just love them.

I've read 5 books in the last two weeks...

I've had to be kind of careful about what I read sometimes because it sticks with me...

When I lived in Utah...My cousin Isa had a ton of John Grisham books...I read a few in a row...and then the next thing you know I was having crazy dreams about being a lawyer and running through the amazon jungle to escape from people...

I live with a boyfriend's aunt for a while....she liked "True Crime" books...so I read two of those and the next thing you know, I'm totally afraid of riding the bus in the dark, and clearly some serial killer is out to get me...

This was never an issue while reading my Harry Potter books....I don't mind a wizarding world...

Soo I had this crazy dream...that my kids and I were searching for food and hiding out in the middle east...I really wish I could remember more, but I"m glad I woke up before it was too scary. This dream comes from a book I read called First They Killed my Father...it was a book about a Cambodian refugee...it had some twists in it, like I made it to the Swiss Embassy...this happened because in the news in real life, 3 people Americans were captured for crossing the border into Iran...the American govt is having to talk to the Swiss govt to talk to the Iranian govt to find out what's going on with the 3 Americans...and besides all of the emotions that dreams put you through...my suffering children and I did come across an abandoned Taco Bell...this was because I drove by a new Taco Bell being built here...
