Just Another Day

If someone told me a year ago that I would be planning yet another party again I would tell them no way, not happening. But a year after having D's graduation party, I'm now planning a baby shower. I hate planning parties to start with so I'm feeling a bit stressed about it. I'm kind of doing this party with J's mom but really its all me. She gave me a few bucks, paid for the church hall and left the rest up to me. I have people making food and when I needed some things made from her side is all I got was one making pudding and her making some jello. Hello, I need more then that. Slowly I'm picking up things like table coverings, gifts to hand out, decoration to put on the tables and gift table. The invites are done and have been mailed out. What a trip those were to make. Hours and hours it took to get them done. I don't have one with me at the apt. but when I get back home I'll take a picture of one and put it on here for all to see. I think they turned out really cute. The invites are in the shape of a diaper. I had to glue a decorative piece to a plain color piece. Then trace the diaper on to the sheet and cut them out. Fold them up. Then I had to make the slits for the over lap part of the diaper. Use a stamper to put on the date and time. Write out the info and type out the mailing addresses. Oh, we stamped the back of the envelopes with "its a shower" and I little blue duck because N is having a boy. Let me tell you, I never thought it could take so long to do 100 invites when I started them. But I like the way they look and I'm thinking of doing the thank you's in the shape of a bottle...lol but not gluing two pieces of paper together...lol

So other then that I've just been making blankets after blankets. Some for Ayden and some for a head start on any baby shower I might go to in the future....lol I'm sure there will be enough in the future now that the kids and cousins and friends kids are all growing up. I figured I'd do them while my fingers can take it.

Finally after almost a year of no work C is back doing the same job for the same company that he quit after getting out of the hospital. I have yet to see him in the last 2 1/2 weeks since he doesn't bother to come home on the weekends. He is spending it with someone I'd rather not say since I don't have to many nice words for her or about her. He just says they are friends. What ever

D still doesn't have a job but he hasn't really been looking to hard. It makes it hard with no driver licenses and that is our fault for not getting it done. Sooner or later

N is 30 weeks PG and for the most part she is doing fine. Now time is starting to go alittle on the slow side. At the beginning it was flying right by. Now I'm like hurry up and lets get this blast off going, but he still needs to bake on low heat for 10 more weeks...lol

There Dee, I hope your happy to see that I have blogged something...lol

Superbowl Party/Movie Day!!

Today my family, Dan & Megan and Jon are going to watch some movies and have snacks like we would have done tomorrow for the superbowl. Hubby and the boys are going back to the apt. tomorrow and will watch the superbowl there. I'm staying home for a few days to go with Nicole to her doctors appt. on Monday. The food is cooking and are just waiting for the guest to arrive.

I'm still dealing with a bit of a cold/sinus, hope it leaves soon. Hope your cold is better Deana.

I Really Do Have a Blog!!

Its been awhile since I have felt like even blogging, but here I am finally.

My life doesn't change very much to blog about. Just doing the normally day to day things. Nothing fun there to blog about. Still going back and forth from apt to home, so that's another boring subject. Still have kids fighting in my house, don't even want to go there...lol I still have pain and trying different meds, so can't say yet where that is going.

The only thing new I can blog about is, I'm going to be a Grandma in Aug. This is my first grand child. The one thing I look forward to is at Christmas time this year. I want a picture of my mom, me, Nicole and the baby together. 4 generations. Hope it turns out nice because I'd like a big picture of it.

I know I'm already sick and tired of this winter. We have had more snow then usual, its been a bit cold. I do believe it can start melting at any time now but I know there is so much more to come.

I will be going to FL this year, pain or no pain but Aunty for sure is not coming home this year. She broke 2 toes just before Christmas and had to have surgery on them. She is at a rehab place building her muscles up since she can't walk on her foot. She still wants me to come down and help out with some things. I do want to go visit my friends in Deltona so I'm not sure how long of a trip this will be, maybe 3 weeks. I will have to plan this trip around a baby shower and a the birth of the baby...lol
