Let's Celebrate!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE!!!

I am at work today-- only an 8 so that's not too bad... Since we are leaving to go up north on thursday I had to squeeze in my days this week... I don't think anything too exciting tonight.. Nick has darts at 730- and so does Joal-- so family night won't be till Sunday.

I love my birthday days!!! It's kinda hard to believe that I am 29! Where has the time gone?!?!?

On to other thoughts-- beside me-- My brothers dad has been in the hospital for more than a week now- went in for a "routine" artery clean out- ended up having a stroke and has been- until today on a ventilator to help him breath and in a medically induced coma- word is that he is now breathing on his own for a large junk of time (VERY AWESOME to hear!) but he is still sedated and gets pretty agitated with the weaning of the medicine. So if you can say some prayers for him and the family- Carole his wife really hasn't left his side! We would greatly apperciate it!!

Also- during my blog stalking the other night... I came across 2 very different but very similar blogs-- one about a man raising his new daughter alone- as mom died the next day after her birth- and the other about a family losing there twin boys at birth (preemies). I am not sure why I clicked to their links out of all the one's I could have- but they have definitly changed my outlook on life and even pregnancy! Put me in a little bit of a funk right after-- I can only imagine what they are going through! I really hope that I will never have to live it... I pray for them everynight I have both of there blogs in my list....


well now that I have totally depressed everyone! I hope everyone has a great day! I know I will- give everyone an extra hug,kiss and an I love you! :)

had to edit this to add a giveaway at another blog-- there I go stalking again!!

So what has my day/night dedueced to blog stalking, and buttered noodles with parm cheese......

Happy Sweetest Day!

Yeah so it's been awhile.....i actually have the day off... but it came with a price!! I was scheduled a 12 hour shift yesterday- which turned into a 16-it was actually pretty busy so I hardly noticed!!!So because I worked till 11pm there was no way I would be able to get home by 0100 and turn around and be back there by 0700!
Nick had to get up at 0500 to meet his dad there are heading up to the "cabin" to prepare it for our (the in-laws and us) arrival on thursday. They are putting in a new heater--- I like heat!
So I am home with beasts today- already vacuumed, wash part of the bathroom floor- If this cat does NOT stop PISSING in the bathroom I will have to seriously think about returning him to the farm where we got him!!

Nick and I had 2 date nights this week- one for sweetest day (since he is gone) and my b-day since it on a tuesday this year.
Wed- we headed out to dinner- and a movie-- we made it to dinner before heading home exhausted!
Thurs- he took off and took me to the muesum and we saw the Titanic exhibit and the IMAX movie-- both really cool!

I think the washer stopped now... I can get in the shower-- have to head to the bank before it closes!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Back to work for me tomorrow!

Yeah the wait is over!

Little miss Olivia and me!
Little piggy toes!!!
(She does have a matching set on the otherside! It was hiding!)

She's here!!! My friend Sarah had her baby at 0327 this am! after going in at 0700 yesterday! YIKES!! Mom and baby are doing well now... it was scary for a little bit!! She is cute as a bug... her poor head will be sore for a little while! darn vaccuums!!!

anyway spent a good chunk of the morning at the hospital- held her a lot- watched part of her first bath :) Will head back later tonight after dinner with my dad.

Sarah- I know you will read this sooner or later ;) You are a great friend and i am still over the moon excited for you... my day will come i promise you-- stop worrying about me right now ;)

I will post just 2 pics- proud momma can post more later :)

Poor Brewer's...

..and Packers... and Badgers! (they all lost :( )

What a weekend for WI sports!!! Nick and I (and 2 other friends) went to the Brewer game- nothing like a winter jacket, and a hot dog grilled out tailgate style ;) It hadn't started raining yet... but the wind picked up. We had a great time at the game- it was LOUD!!! Too bad we lost
:(

Now we are sitting at home- I am in my robe and slippers-- the house is 59* -brr! The heat is still not one- we still have 2 window a/c units in!!! I have a few candles burning for warmth and smell ;)

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Yeah for monday! (boo hiss!)

BRRR!

Well I think fall is officially here!!! It has been chilly during the day- with awesome sunshine though-- and we had FROST last night! I have slept in my robe the last 2 nights- I think I am in denial and don't want to get out the BIG blankets! I am going to make some potato soup (wish me luck) today and some apple recipes!! Then tonight we are going to a comedy club not till 10! I might have to take a nap!!
I worked a pm last night- didn't get home till 1245- watched tv till almost 0200 then of course the alarm went off at 0500 to take my temp- let the dogs out and crated them- then it was 0745- the doggie alarm went off- managed to block it out off and on till almost 0900... and now here sit- all bundled up! Hmmm I should go make some hot tea and breakfast!! mmmm! I bought some new teas when I was in Boston- its made with real fruits-it better be good it wasn't cheap!!!

BUNDLE UP!
