Reading

As some of you know, I've never been much of a book reader. We always had books assigned to read in school, but I'd read the back cover and do the report ( like the teacher never noticed , silly me ). But in the last 2 weeks, I've read 2 books, cover to cover.... Bekah that I work with has an English and Lit degree, she reads ALL THE TIME.... Anyway she's also in a book club with Deb ( our CEO ) and she suggested Twightlight... so I got it and read it in 2 days. Then last weekend I bought the second book in the series New Moon and just finished that last night,, and while I was at Target I bought the 3rd book in the series, Which Bekah just finished. I have to say, I've actually enjoyed reading!! The boys have always liked it and now that I have my face shoved in a book all the time, they do too ( although the last couple days Brads has been a a "notebook" ).

Just thought I'd share ;-)

Wow, I really haven't posted in awhile. Things have been crazy with work and all. Does'nt seem to be enough hours in the day! I will have over 80 hours in the past 2 weeks, I know it doesn't seem like much to some, but when I had a day off last week it's a lot. Last Tuesday was my last Tuesday to work Tuesdays. I worked it out so I will now have a day off a week. The every other week thing just wasn't working for me. I was working 24 hours a week before and so the jump was a lot to try to adjust to. I always said I would be happy with 4 days a week, so now we'll see. If I ever need a long weekend, I can just speak up too. Things have gotten better. I've looked for another job, but now I think I would really be torn. I actually made a comment the other day and said " That happened before "We" started " Instead of saying, before " you guys" started. I refered to myself as one of them. Deb my CEO was so excited. Even Mike ( aka Dr. Meyer ) was excited. He said I was always on thier team and he was really glad I finally feel that way.... I still get stressed, but I'm learning.

I know it's hard to believe but it's snowing again, 4-8 inches is supposed to fall tonight.

Bradley won a laptop computer from his Orthodontist's office. It's very nice and he's so excited!!! It's also really nice that we have wireless internet, so we can take it anywhere in the house. He is nice enough to share it with me, since I make the ortho payments ;-)

It did again, snowed, we don't just seem to get a couple of inches at a time anymore.... When they call for less than 6" nobody here seems to upset, that's just a "dusting"

We did manage to play in the snow all afternoon. Went to the Johnsons and rode snowmobiles around. It was my first time to ever drive a sled, it was really fun, and at the same time a little scary. I drove Brad's around, it goes, but not like Denise's... Wow. She rode Daves, I rode her's and the boys rode thiers and the little kids rode with us. It was fun, until a ski broke on Bradley's . Dave had a donar sled, so it's fixed. Ride a while, fix awhile....

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, a day late. We had a great time Wednesday night. We got home from the party we went to about 12:30 ( we left when the hostess began throwing up... and continues to do so, I did not drink so much ) I had 3 very weak drinks, they thought I was doing shots with them.... I did not actually drink it! ;-) I am not a party animal, I like to have fun, but I also REALLY enjoy feeling good the next day!!!! So that's what we did. Bradley, Ryan & Vincent had a good time bringing in the New Year with funions and mountain dew, a snack made only for New Years ;-) Brad & Vince also stayed up until 4 or so. When Doug woke up and saw they were still up, he poked his head in and told them to go to sleep... they were watching Clint Eastwood in "The Good, The Bad & the Ugly"... None of us woke up until Vincent's Dad called around 10:45am.... For the rest of the day, I took down Christmas trees and decorations.
Today Doug is back to work and Bradley is out Goose hunting with Dave & Matthew. I will be preparing burritos and chicken parmasan for dinner tonight, the Johnsons (If Denise is feeling better) and the Schmucks are all coming to eat tonight. Ryan Schmuck had his tonsils and adnoids out on the 22nd and finally on Wednesday felt better.
I am also doing my favorite hobby..... laundry! ;-)
