I was looking at the blog of someone I used to talk to online, Heather, we both "met" when we were ttc our first child. I do not talk to those ladies much anymore... seems like the more kids we had the less we talk... but once and awhile we converge back on our "group" and hear news about a new baby or job or other piece of info.
Who do you blog for quiz
1. Do you blog to make friends with people you will eventually meet in real life? Hmmm... I don't blog with the purpose that I become friends with a stranger and meet them eventually - though I would not be against that if I clicked with someone. Though part of the reason I blog is for those I have met online through other sites.. and these are people I have met or hope to meet IRL.
2. Do you blog for the sake of the B? Do you blog for yourself as a sanity-seeking form of online diary that is really neat cause it can link to all kinds of other things on the fancy Interweb? Sometimes I blog just to blog.. sometimes I blog to copy others.. and sometimes I blog as a diary of my thoughts.
3. Do you blog to discover people with whom you share a number of opinions about a topic? Yea... I love Slice of life blogs... and I hope to show you my slices.. and in turn find other people's slices.
4. Do you blog to attract readers? And, do you have an expectation of what sort of readers you have? Would you still blog if nobody read your blog? Yes and No. I would probably still blog if no one read it.. but there are days when I feel I have to because I have not blogged in awhile and I do know people read it. I just hope my readers aren't weird axe murders ;-)
5. Do you blog to distinguish yourself .. because you think blogging is cool and you think it makes you cool(er)? I do not do things to be cool. I may give in to the latest fad.. but I do things because I want to and because they make me happy. If you think I am cool... well.. then that's cool!

I got to do something today I haven't done in awhile. Samantha used to ride the bus to meet my Dad downtown where they would go to his house and spend the day. They used to do this twice a week. Well, then Dad had the shoulder surgery and Cancer spike, so it has been two months or so since we have had this opportunity. Well Dad called last night and said he was ready to take Samantha all day. So we rode the bus together this morning. Sammy has gotten quite popular on the bus, and I know some of the riders had missed her, they were excited to see her today. This also gave the two of us one-on-one time together. Sitting there I almost forget how difficult the kids have heen and just focused on my "pretty baby".
Even on a rainy day, we can sometimes see some sun!!
C-Ya!
I am not avoiding this blog... I just find the longer it has been since I post, the harder it is for me to do so.
Had a blast this weekend scrapping with some of my SS friends. I did 26 pages and most of them are pretty darn cute!!
I placed my CM order today so I can still be a CMC...
This week is hectic. Nick is part of the committee planning the First Annual Westonka Horticultural Days at our church this Saturday. Both him and I will be making presentations and having vendor booths. This will be huge for him.. he is even making a big garden display, complete with water pond and lighting in the middle of the gym. I don't know how he will do it, even though I have confidence in him.
And Spring is in the air!! Glad to see the sun and chances of 50s and 60s this week and next!
C-Ya!
I have decided that one of my biggest pet peeves is lack of communication.
Funny, because that sometimes happens between Nick and I.
But I am talking more about lack of communication in jobs or friends or other activities.
My theory, "you can always delete an email, so feel free to bombard me".
And yes, I may not always be the best at communicating either.
But if you will try harder, so will I!

My last weekend was crazy. As you know, Friday Nick went to take the Fil down to K.C. This meant I had to rush home from work to get the kids from daycare, then proceeded to run home (well walk - Samantha can sure be slow) and let the dogs out, then go to a St. Pat's party in a neighborhood I had not been in for awhile (though I found the house without any problems).
Saturday the kids and I went to a first birthday party for Twins I know then home to wait for Daddy to come home!! And I could not wait.. they were so crabby!!!
Sunday was church, then over to a neighbors house so Jeffrey could hang out with his girlfriend (well and so we could hang out with the parents), then back to church. And still the kids were crabby.
And Monday, they both wake up with colds. Went to day care but now she is off the whole week so we are each watching them a couple days. Plus I had a Creative Memories meeting last night. Nick has a Knights meeting tonight. Thursday is choir practice for me and Landscape Committee for Nick. Then Friday I take the kids over to my parents and am being picked up from there to go to a scrapbooking retreat in Wisconsin till Sunday.
Probably is a good thing I have Thursday off, because I sure have a lot to do. And I am hoping I don't get sick in the process!
****AAAaaaaahhhhhhHHHHHHH***** my head is already spinning!!!!
Anyways, that is the short version of this past weekend!
C-Ya!
To the Irish by blood or just the Irish at heart, Happy St. Pat's Day! Today shall be a fun day starting off with a pot luck at work at lunch and followed by a party later on with some people from chuch; and the bonus, dispensation so we can eat meat today during lent!
Somewhat busy weekend ahead and I have a lot to do - do you think I will get it done? Who knows!!
I leave you with joke sent to me by a co-worker....
Irish Joke
John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me wife!"
That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!
He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the best toast of the night"
She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?"
John said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."
"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.
The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner.
The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary."
She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come."
C-Ya!
