So little time....

Busy busy busy......

For the second weekend in a row I have run around like a chicken with her head cut off!! Such a busy weekend....of course in some ways next weekend will be worse but more on that later.

This time I had a family Christmas party to get ready for and attend. Friday we ran around picking up all our ingredients for the food we were preparing, then came home and did all the prep work that we could a day early....oh and while we were out we all got hair cuts.
The poor woman who cut my sons' hair showed a slight interest in Pokemon and the next thing you know my guys are following her around the salon spewing Pokemon facts, and bless her heart she pretended to care!! (As soon as my cut was done I got them out of there....LOL).

When I got home from my hair cut I had to get on the computer (and phone) so that I could be a guest on my friend Fiesty's online radio show......so much fun!! We talked about all kinds of crazy stuff.... got a few good laughs too...LOL

Yesterday was spent at basketball!! The boys did great but one's team got beat while the other kid's team totally dominated!! Then it was home for showers and then off to Minnesota for family Christmas time!! We finally got home about 2:30 this morning and everyone dropped like flies..lol

Oh did I mention I slipped on some ice at the party and seriously hurt my leg?? Well I did, and today all the other parts of me are hurting and I have a lovely shade of purple developing on my knee, ankle and the top of my foot.....Perfect!!

So that brings me to today....today is laundry (I can hardly contain my excitement) and cleaning day (seriously, I'm so happy I may burst)......I hope it's also "stay in yer jammies" day because I am just too tired to do the other stuff AND get dressed...LOL

M.I.A

Sorry that I have been missing in action for the last week or so, I swear I have really good excuses thought up. Not that I would ever WANT to lie to my wonderful bloggy friends....just that the lies sound so much better than the truth and I would like to make this an interesting read for you.....

Alas, my heart says go with truth so I guess I shall....

After finally returning from the hell that was "spending time with my FIL", I got home and proceeded to wrap every freakin' present in our house all on Christmas Eve ( I was up FOREVER). I had barely gone to sleep when I was awoken by eager faced children begging to shred open the same presents I had just got done wrapping (I think they hate me, they must right?), so I spent Christmas Day dozing off and on in my husbands recliner. I spent the better part of Boxing Day doing the same as on Christmas Day, with brief periods of talking on the phone, until around 3pm when I suddenly decided that the entire house had to be rid of the Christmas decorations...NOW! I stayed up entirely too late doing that bunch of business but in the end I actually felt better than I had in days so it all worked out I guess.

Thursday found me cleaning like a crazy person....tearing things apart, whipping up dust and Windex everything to a nice shine. My mother-in-law came to sand and prime my bathroom...why you ask? Because she's good at that stuff so I asked her to do it (I think my bathroom is finally NOT going to feel like a dirty old cave...YAY!!). When she finished my bathroom she packed up my kids and whisked them off to her house for the next TWO WHOLE DAYS so that hubby and I could celebrate our anniversary.

Yep, you heard right...ANNIVERSARY!! 11 years together and we still mostly like each other...ha, take that nay sayers!!

So anywhoooo..... and I've been intermittently spending time with my family and cleaning out my house ever since (just felt like the right time to start purging the household, yeah?), and so I beg your forgiveness my bloggy friends. I have neglected your blogs and my own for far too long, and I promise that if you forgive me this time I will TRY not to do it again....

No really, I mean it.

Seriously...

Why are you looking at me like that??

I said TRY......
