Damn Straight!!!

When the president was asked at a Rose Garden question-and-answer session whether the anthem should be sung in Spanish, he replied: "I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think people who want to be a citizen of this country ought to learn English and they ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English."

You Know it's Vacation When.......

Cory gets sick. This child of mine gets sick EACH and EVERY vacation. It is a good thing we NEVER plan a trip.

Love Sac

We received our bean bag chair the other day. I love it. I will have to post some pictures so you can see how huge it is . It takes up our entire living room. As a matter of fact I have to move my rocking chair out to make more room. Cor loves to wrestle on the thing. I just love to sit and watch TV. I think I will definitely be sleeping on it soon also. The other night all three of us watched TV for about an hour in it. It is the coolest shade of red. I would love to have a couch in the same color but it would look stupid in the same room. My buddy is calling now. I have to go wrestle.

Cup Stacking

My wonderful son won a third place trophy, a first place team medal, and a third place medal for the mini stacks, at cup stacking today. We spent the entire day at school. Very busy past couple of days. Friday we had Bingo night at school. Fun was had by all. I worked in preschool last week. I think preschool is my favorite place. Of course it makes me want to have more kids but I don't think God has the same plan that we do. There are two little boys at school that I would adopt in a heartbeat. They are both special needs but I just cannot get enough.

Failure

Life is so hard. I don't know, I just hope that everyone in my life right now is going through a phase that will soon be ending. It is hard to start the day off right when you feel like such a failure right from the moment you open your eyes. Of course, that is assuming you feel like you shut your eyes from the night before. What can you do. Accept it and plug on? But what happens if it is not acceptable? Ahhhhh. Prayer. I do believe that but as my son points out, I don't seem to get an answer. I know I know the answer is wait or no. But honestly how can either of those be an answer from God regarding my problem. It is so easy to have God in your head it is the heart that counts. I think we all need to work on the heart problem real fast.

Brush your Teeth

When you wake up in the morning and it's a quarter to three you brush your teeth.

The Weekend so Far

On Friday we went to the Globetrotters. What a show. I mentioned earlier that hubby and I had seen them in Syracuse many years ago. This show was not anything like I remember. When we saw them it was time for a few of them to retire (including the "star" of the show). It was lame. Not the case this time. If they come to a location near you I would recommend you go spend the $20.00 a ticket and see a good couple hours of entertainment. My only complaint about the whole experience was the food. We waited to eat at the arena. What a mistake. The food was so bad and expensive. I don't mind paying more for food but at least make it edible.

I woke up yesterday with the worst headache in my life. I think the bad food and the air in the arena is what sparked the headache. The air was really bad and my eyes were driving me crazy. My husband (who suffers from cluster headaches) insists that I am getting migraines. This time I agreed. I had the classic symptoms. Dizziness, sensitivity to light (ohhhh my gosh I never knew how much light could hurt) We had plans to go to http://www.cbd.com warehouse sale and I knew how disappointed everyone (including myself) was that we couldn't go. Hey I could not even stand up without feeling like I was going to lose my cookies. Finally after several minutes of being yelled at (hey it sounded like he was yelling when in fact he was whispering) I gave in and took an Imitrix which is what my husband takes for his headaches. It didn't work like he claimed it would but it did allow me to get up shower and feel good enough to go the sale. The sale is so much fun. You are in this huge warehouse. Before you go you must look up the locations of the items you want. You cannot find anything just browsing. So we had our list and Cory finds the locations. It is like a treasure hunt. We always spend a fortune but it is part entertainment as well. After the warehouse sale we headed to ME for seafood. We have been going to a place in Kittery called the Weathervane. The have the best fish and chips that I have ever had, and it is cheap $6.79. You cannot beat that. I basically hate seafood but fish and chips is something I will eat.

Today (Sunday) I am hoping to get a lot accomplished, business, rollerblading, shopping (I need new sandals), and much more. Of course I will never be able to do all those things. So we will have to wait and see what happens.

An Easter present that I bought for Cory arrived. I am disappointed I don't think I got what I paid for, but conveniently the store I purchased it from no longer has the description on their web site. I emailed and we will have to see what becomes of that.

We purchased a new Jeep a couple of weeks ago. I love the Cherokee so much. I never thought I could love a car as much as this one. This is what we took on our 150 mile drive yesterday. It is so nice. Highly recommended if you are in the market for a car. I will NEVER drive anything but a Jeep again.
