Count Down

Inthe past I've tryed to keep a diary and it never worked. I'd forget about it or lose it...and what if someone found it...Now here I am in cyber space keeping one.

The weekend...another trivia night. It was a long night couldn't really get into it. The table across from us was what kept it interesting. A lady her husband and it looks like her son and this son and his friends. She was drinking when I got there and didn't stop...Very happy. the three teen boys didn't know any of the questions. They started putting up little signs on their table. "You may be winning but we are cuter." "Our humour beats your smarts." they came in last but they had fun and grandma may remember some of it later. We came in 2nd. got the money back...the 1st place table said they would give there winnings to the party. Oh it was for the Scott Co. Democrats. I said because of Bush I needed all my money.

No Nancy so it was a lazy day in on Sunday. I did jump up and hurry to meet her and then remembered she's in Texas.

Monday: Road trip to Dubuque. Leanne and Kathy. I never knew that they road up there was so boring. I always drive. also no colour. Poor little Kennedy Mall. Could count the people on one hand. Mostly old mostly walkers. Got Sara's wedding gift. Showed that I was white trash with my OH MY GOD $51 FOR JUST 5 PIECES OF SILVERWARE NOT THE WHOLE SET!!!!

The Borders store is still to bright in the paint colours. Chipped of some to take back to Kit.The people at the reg where rude and I didn't feel welcome...Then off the the real shopping area of the Town the North West Arterial Flow Rd Got a new glass. ugly and amber.Should hold a bottle of Dr Pepper

Drive back was just as boring. Made Leanne go across the hell bridge in Savanna. got stopped in the middle. Neither one of us like it. to narrow and nothing to make you feel safe.

Tuesday back to work. only three days more...Did Dougs job and mine.trying to get everything in order before I leave. Where am I going...? not sure.Went to the eye dr after work. Yep the eyes are failing. At this rate should be blind by the time I'm 55 nothing they can do about it.The doctor was about the same age as one of the nieces. The ink not dry on her degree.

Oh about the pictures.. can you tell I like Stevie Nicks. the thin years... and I got the Dukes of Hazzard on DVD so I had to put a picture of them up.

The Ides of March

Recovering from the day with the babies. Don't know if its easier when they don't move or not. Was thinking about what I'm going to do on my vacation. Most likely nothing. Did look thru the book Europe On a ShoeString. If I went now I would be eating my shoes by the end of the trip. Still trying to figure this thing out. Want pictures. So heres the first. Stevie of course. Nancy goes on vacation starting the 19 thru the 26th then I go on vacation til the 4/April. It looks like I'm singing at the wedding. Now have to find the organ or piano player and hope that she can play the stuff I can sing...Not church songs. Howard is gone on vacation. don't notice him gone...Lots of people like that at the store..."You where gone?really?" Only two days til payday...then a little money to play with...

Day with the babies.

Had the twin terrors today. Oh they aren't that bad. Savaie just would scream at the drop of a hat. It could have something to do with not pooing. Cono is the same. Hold me and I'm yours baby. Took them out to the store. Its funny to see who does and doesn't want to hold them. They are 2 1/2 months old. they follow you with their eyes and smile. Don't know if it's still gas or they find something in their world that is funny. 9 hrs was a bit much. It will only get worse they won't take as many naps. I need to pace myself. Or get to bed before midnight the night before.

Savie is still the bigger. I think she always will be. She the one that looks like her dad. Dark hair clef chin,olive skin. Moody. but you didn't hear that from me. She smiles more and bigger, that is when she is awake. The kid can still sleep 20 hours a day.

Cono still the little sister in many ways. She looks like mom. Blonde,big eyes,peaches and cream skin. If she can find a pulse point she is in heaven... sleep and eats in small bits.

I noticed that Savie favours her right hand when sucking it and Cono her left...Oh this should be fun down the road.

Change the shirt,change the sheets, flip the mattress. Another day with the babies comes to an end...God do I need a Dr Pepper.
