BUSY

I have just realized that we have something planned for every weekend from now until at least May 20th. Now one of the weekends is Easter and another is when Brian will be leaving for England for work. I have a ton of outside stuff that I would like to get done, and the majority of it I will need his help for. I have a feeling that by the end of May I am not going to feel like doing much. Things have been going well here. We had a very busy weekend. It started with a girls night out with friends, then Lizzie had a birthday party to go to Friday night.It was a sleepover with 10 kids between the ages of 3 and 10. I did not have her sleepover, I picked her up at 10. Sat. morning I got up to make Irish soda bread and Guiness cake for our St. Patty's day party that we were holding that night. By 11:45 I was out the door with another birthday party Lizzie was invited too. Got home and prepared for the party. The next day I was slow to recover( I have trouble staying up until 3am these days). Then Buddy and Lizzie had a birthday party that evening. This weekend we have just one party on the schedule. That is all for now, just thought I would do a quick update.

Don't expect it again.

Can you believe it, two days in a row that I am posting stuff. Right now I am waiting for people to finish cleaning my house. My Mom and Dad were nice enough to have people come and clean my house once a month for 6 months. Today is the first day, so they do a "deep" cleaning that takes longer than normal. They were suppossed to come at 8:30 and showed up just after 8. I was not prepared for them, I just got back from taking Buddy from school. I don't like when people come early for things that I have to clean for. They were coming to clean the house, but I still had to pick up stuff. When people come early to parties it drives me nuts too. I am not a neat person, I never have been and no matter how many times I try I make resalutions about it, it just doesn't happen. So I need all the time I can get in most cases, to get my house clean. Of course, if you are coming to fix something, come as early as you like and I prefer you not to be late. Anyway, I am feeling crappy today, I have a terrible cold and can't wait to go back to bed. So while I am waiting for them to finish I will ramble here. I know, I have a tough life.
So two shows that I enjoy are House Hunters and Intervention. Intervention can be a really sad show. They normally cover two people that have an addiction. The ones I have seen have been: drugs,alcohol,anorexia,bulimea;and video games. The video game one, was more about a 21year old that had a lot of other issues going on. The people with the addicition think that A&E is doing a documentary on them, in reality there friends and family have set up and intervention and rehab. At the end they tell you how the people are doing now. At first it was really sad, because we only saw one person not relapse. After watching some more, there have been more success rates. It is a really good show, and I recommend it. I really like to look at other peoples homes and how much homes are worth in different areas,so that is a great show. They started off mostly in LA, and that was just crazy. I do not understand how people can afford to live out there. People have to buy the house that day, and pay more than the asking price have the time. This week they are in Florida. This one single lady with two teenage children, had a budget of 1-2 million. That is crazy. The one I watched last night they had a budget of 500,000 and they wanted a 4 bedroom, 3 car garage, big kitchen, pool and yard in the Ft. Meyers area. The real estate lady did not say they were crazy, but you could tell she was thinking it. They show 3 houses that they look at, and the guy could not stop complaing about what was missing. They ended up getting a house with a 3 car garage, that they added a pool too, after they purchased it.
I had a meeting with Buddy's teacher today. It went the same as all meetings about him go. He is doing great academically, but he needs work on his behavior. He contantly needs to be redirected. We are goint to put him in Karate and see if that helps. We have heard that It helps give kids self discipline in school.We shall see. Lizzie has a princess dance party tonight. Her dance studio is holding it. For $15 bucks, she gets and 1hr 1/2 with instructers dressed up as princesses, crafts dancing and I don't know what else. She is looking forward to it. She keeps asking when is she going to get her costume for the recital. Her recital is in May, but I am sure it will be here before I know it. That is all for now. The cleaning people should be just about done, and then I am going to bed.
