OK, let's begin with the fact that I missed my Bobby on Letterman last night. I was so busy watching him on the Outlaws concert on CMT that I completely forgot about him being on Letterman and went to bed. My gosh was I pissed when I got up this morning and screamed because I friggin' forgot. I don't know why I just didn't set it to record the program, but I guess that's karma rearing her mean ass, as Earl would say! Well, on with that....
Hey, hey, you know what I hate: I hate people that just brag on their blogs. My life is so perfect, I'm so happy, I'm so skinny I need to eat more ... blah, blah, blah! Get a life. Nobody's perfect and I'm guessing you're just masking all those hidden emotions and the reason you blog is because you are such a BI-OTCH you have no freakin' friends! It's one thing to say something but to go on and on and on gets really old. If you had a real life, you'd have a really interesting blog. Anyway, on with that.....
Ian's Aunt Jacalyn and Aunt Christene will love this one: "When can we go to Mass? I've never been to Mass?" Huh, shake the head, what??? I told him "yes, you have been to Mass." To which he replied "nu-uh, that's church. I want to go to Mass!" Whatever.... would someone please explain it to him because he evidently does not believe me.
Brent was off yesterday for Columbus Day and the kids had school. Needless to say, we had a great day and it was fun just doing whatever we wanted. We were relaxed, energetic, content, happy and were actually looking forward to picking up the boys. You know, all those things you aren't when your kids are home and screaming! Reminds me of the old days "before kids." Ian got out at 1:30 for teacher conferences this week since the six weeks ended Friday. His teacher really said a lot of positive things, such as he is really sweet, thoughtful and very sociable. Well, yeah, he takes after his daddy in the "sociable" department. Liam did not have a lot of homework last night so the neighbor came down and played Halo 3 on xbox all evening until I finally said enough at 8:00pm. That's my little one's bedtime and we had not eaten yet! Gotta get back on our schedule so we can have our alone time after they're in bed. I relish spending time with Brent after the boys are in bed. We usually talk or watch TV or watch funny stuff on youtube or porn. No, not really. Yeah, really. Nah, anyway on with that...
We've been listening to Dave Ramsey a lot on xm and downloading his podcasts to try and teach us about what/how/when to start saving and investing. We were talking yesterday about how somebody is always working on some kind of self-improvement whether it be emotionally, financially, losing weight, marriage/family issues. etc. So we decided to start learning how to save money (other than his auto-deducts for retirement and college). We spend a lot on "mindless spending." Like $200 the other day at Circuit City on dvd's, a cd, Spiderman 3 game, a Halo 3 wireless game controller and a cheat book for Halo 3. I mean this is ridiculous. We DO NOT have any credit card bills, which is a blessing. When you see how much you basically just throw away on mindless spending, we want to start doing something more productive with our money. If we're ever going to build our house on this land, I guess we have to "live like no one else now, so we can live like no one else later." Yeah, I'm so proud of myself. That's a direct quote from Dave! As long as I can stay away from Target, I could save a bunch.
Trying out a new chicken enchilada recipe I found in a Southern Living magazine. Or maybe the Paula Deen's Mexican Chicken Casserole. I guess that's my ADD kickin' in! LOL They hate chicken but maybe I can mask it enough that they don't gripe about it too much. Have a lot going on this evening after school so I need to have all this ready before school gets out today. It's usually about 8pm before we're finished with soccer and Ian has CCD tonight. If you have any good recipes, email them to me so we can give them a try. What kind of self-improvement are you working on? I know, I know, everybody is "losing weight." Ciao!!!
