Wednesday Lu called from school saying her stomach felt 'mushy', and w/in a day all the kids were down w/ it. It seems to be a quick 24-48 bug (3 are over it) but YaYa just puked all over my newly cleaned dining room floor. Dangnabbit.

Get some Confidence

Vanessa Wolfe's time on American Idol was enough to break your heart. She's very attractive, talented, and down to earth, but was so beaten down and low on confidence I could barely watch. That line about not wanting the judges to 'look down on her' was gut wrenching. I hope she's not eaten alive in Hollywood. I'll be rooting for her.

Win!

Benefit to cleaning behind the couch? Finding lost gift cards!!! Too bad it took me all of 10 minutes to spend it up! What's 20 bucks at walmart? - Lisa

 potty successes make me happy 

An interesting half of Football

That was a great 2nd half to watch, even if it was interrupted by Smiley throwing up Hot Fries for about two minutes (wicked to watch - A+ for effort little dude!) and the Ginger peeing on her Elmo couch. I no longer care who wins it all, so long as Hillbilly is sent packing next week. Oh, and memo to my sister - howsabout not giving a four year old an entire package of hot fries before sending him home to his pa :)

Still Snowbound

Still stuck @ home, w/ 14-15 inch drifts up and down the alley. We're mid block, and it'll take a while to dig out. Mucho thanks to Anne U.  for picking up my girls and getting them to school today!

Btw our landline is now replaced and good to go . . please call us on that as the minutes are up on the cell phones.

Snowed In

still working on getting the kids to school....entire alley is still unshoveled, unplowed and and the average drift is about 14 to15 inches....not the worse we have had, but no one has been out to do anything about it, and we're in the middle of the block. Odd...the only ones that have kids to get to school, and we're in the middle of the block....UGH!!! - Lisa

It’s official: White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has confirmed that the State of the Union will not pre-empt the premiere of LOST The Final Season on 2/2. See you in 25 days. (from Lost's FB page)

Paranormal

ok, finally saw paranormal....OVERRATED....totally. I love scary movies, and when your movie has one scary scene at the end, it's not gonna work for me! I cannot believe the "its the scariest movie I've ever seen" comments about it....hanging out w/ my 4 kids is scarier then that movie, lol. - LIsa
