"I Don't Like Anything!"

"Say it with me... I DONT LIKE ANYTHIG!" That is how my day ended, lol.
The girls gymnastics center was involved in the local parade here and wanted to get all the kids to participate. Well since the twins are only 2, lol, and their class is a 'parent-tot' class... guess who gets to walk with them? Thats right!
Little did we realize, when we were supposed to be there by 11:30 and parked as close to the line up location as we could (which was still 1/4 mile from the location) that we would then be standing until 1:00... and then the parade would be 2 miles long!! NOT KIDDING! Oh no... we are not done yet... that was only to the end of the parade location... that was not a loop peoplea!! Now you have to walk back to your vehicle. So yeah... almost 5 miles later... on the hottest day so far of the year... bleh!
Did I mention, we are stopping at the beginning and end of every block along the way for the gymnasts to do flips? *sigh* I will never do that again!
So here is a lesson... when someone starts to ask you... 'would you like to...' respond with....say it with me people ... "I DONT LIKE ANYTHING!"

Happy Mother's Day

S P O I L E D ... that is me! And no, I am not referring to money. The green stuff and I are not friends. It is more of a 'looks familiar' than even an aquaintance. LOL.
But yes, I am still spoiled. And so happy.
We worked our asses off this weekend. My arms still hurt. Bruises everywhere. I could so go back to bed at this moment. But where would that get me? I would not get anything done. Just need to keep moving so I can get something accomplished before the girls want to go outside.
They have been sick. I was lucky enough to come down with it on Thursday. Thank God and my doctor for quick relief. It's more than enough to take care of vomiting toddlers... I don't need to try to clean them up while bowing to the porcelin god myself. Now if they would just be done with it.
For Mother's Day, I got a new (and my first) sewing machine, a gift card to get my sewing tools and supplies, a summer outfit, body cologne, a camera case and a trellis. S P O I L E D I tell ya. *loving it all* Now if I can just teach myself how to sew, lol. Any tips people? HAHAHA. I have had my eye on a pattern for a lil while now, so I will go buy that and the materials before they are no longer available. I know... I am no where near ready to start making clothes yet... hopefully soon.
The most amusing thing for me was the man of the house showing me how to thread my sewing machine. Who knew he took Home Ec? LOL. Turns out, I guess it is a required class here in middle school. My school never required me to take it. And I know it was only offered in high school there. But I moved here my sophmore year. In so many ways, I wish I had taken it! But thanks to my supportive friends, Twin and Niki, and a few family members, I tend to be able to learn what I need to I guess.
I'm anxiously awaiting the supplies for my next project. They should start arriving today. YAY.
Pretty much every weekend is already accounted for this summer. Starting this weekend with participating in a huge parade. Kat has activities 3-4 days a week right now. And the PTO was begging me to assume the roll of VP for the next school year. HELLO? Not only did I let them know it was not even a possibility, I also let them know I would most likely have to bow out of my currently yearly PTO committments for now. I do kinna feel bad for both since a friend of mine is taking over presidency of PTO next year. But I will help out as much as I can whenever time permits. I just can not be committed to everything.
Anyone have storage room for approximately 300 computers and monitors, plus other odds and ends? LOL. Yeah, I need to get on the phone. If only we could get certain people to sell us their place and land on contract. *sigh* Say a few prayers for me?
Lets see... was there anything else? Eh... maybe I will think of more later.

Computers out the wahzoo

We went to the auction we go to every year. Came home with a 28' enclosed car trailer full of computers... stacked even! And I mean FULL! As well as the truck and Durango being full too. We have over 150 towers alone. I have not even attemtped to count the monitors, overheads, printers, speakers, scanners, etc, etc, etc. Oh, and 2 digital cameras and 2 laptops! YAY.
Next auction is in 4 months... woohoo!

What I've been up to lately...

Contemplations

What a crazy month June will be!
A surprise birthday party for Kat. Not just a birthday party either. A 'sock hop' surprise birthday party/sleep over with 12 of her girlfriends. Am I insane? I think so!
Not only that... the very next weekend... a surprise 60th birthday party for my aunt. Only, its more like a family reunion with extended family and all than just a birthday party.
Yet, I am excited :)
