My Weekend
This weekend was probably one of the best in quite a long while. The weather was awesome! The kids pretty much behaved, and bonus, got to spend one day with the hubster!
Let's see...Friday:
First of the nice days. You already know how it went really, during the afternoon I took the girls over to Ft. Foster. Lovely. Then we came home and I made blue cheese garlic burgers on the grill, mmm were they good! Got caught up on a few shows with the hubster, and oh yea, hubby and thing 2 went out on a motorcycle ride together for about 2 hours. All in all a real nice day.
Saturday:
Hubsters actually had the whole day off! No phone calls or anything! So, we got up, to beautiful 87 degree weather, and went out to lunch at Wings Your Way over in North Hampton (really good food). After lunch, went to mini- golf (or, as we refer to it in our home putt putt). I sadly came in second, but I still think he cheated. Bonus though, every single one of us had a hole in one! After putt putt, got the girls milkshakes (we were still full from lunch, but you know kids and ice cream) and picked up the dog, and went over to Ft. Foster again for a walk. Horrible stupid lady there, did not have her dog on a leash and then got all bitchy when I told her there is a leash law for a reason, unless you would like my dog to eat yours...Seriously. Pooch is not viscous (as you all know) but when a strange dog runs over towards her "pups" the teeth come out, and rightly so. That's why we have her, to protect us and be a part of our family. So follow the rules and control your dog, freak! Climbed on the rocks and had a nice time. Came home and vegged, cooked shrimp on the barbie, but no one ate cause we had such a big lunch and then were out in the hot sun all day, really zaps the appetite. Had fun, went to bed fairly early.
Sunday (today):
Hubster unfortunately had the dudes, but me and the kiddos went down to the zoo to meet some friends. Traffic down sucked bad ass. And did I mention it was 98 degrees today?! Yeah, you are telling me! Still in April and that hot, crazy! Zoo was hot and crowded. Left and had a picnic lunch in the park, then ventured home. Yay for me the kids go back to school tomorrow, so bed came early. Now I am just waiting to switch over the laundry and I am off to dreamland myself. My knees are killing me though. Been scarfing down Alieve like Pez candy the past few days. Boy, I guess I really should start wearing my braces, but you know I am a rebel like that. Nothing an ice cold Pina Colada won't fix!
So, all in all a super duper weekend. Hopefully the shop will call sometime this week so I can pick up my baby. Could have used the sunroof today that's for sure! Have to go in sometime this week to fill out my work papers (couldn't go last week caused I spaced when I made the appointment, forgot the kids were off). And yeah, hopefully start reading Twilight too. That's it.

Sunny Days, sweeping the clouds away...
Girls on a petrified tree at Ft. Foster in Maine. Very nice area!
Caitie playing on the rocks at one of the beaches at Ft. Foster. It was such a wonderful day weather wise that we decided to get out of the house and go do something fun!
This was a really neat looking tree, so I took a picture!
Ha ha! I got to put them in "jail"
This is the girls on an old armory
It was a very nice day. We will have to go back again soon!
Oh and yea have at it, miss "date nazi" I know you want too! That's why I love ya ;)

Spring Break
...is killing me! Why oh why do children need to have SO MANY days off? I am drained now, and yes it is Thursday, so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but still. The house is a wreck, my nerves are shot and they have eaten us out of house and home! But man they sure are having a great time!
Today actually we are going to work on thing 2's character project for school. She has to make a costume or something, have to read the paper on it. Then hopefully I can get some laundry done, and cleaning a bit. Saturday is floor cleaning day (meaning mopping) but it would be nice to get everything else done today (we shall see).
The week has been horrible, rainy and gloomy so far. Woke up this morning to some sunshine, which is a nice change. Possibly even let the kids go out and play today after chores are finished.
Oh, almost forgot, watched Twilight last night. It was good! Now I am excited to read the book. Even the hubster enjoyed the movie, and thing 1 said it was the best movie she has ever seen...well at least until the new HP movie come out anyhow!
So that is us for now. Hubster has the dudes today, fun! Maybe we will go down for DQ for a sundae for a treat! OK, off to clean, or try to at least!

Baby sitting duty!
Well, I decided today, that since I am looking after my kids and a friends tonight, that we would do something fun. So me, trying to be a "good mom" took all 3 kids to the movies. Sat through Dragonball Evolution~surprisingly not a bad movie! Then we ventures over to TGI Friday's for dinner, then went up to York Beach to walk around a bit. Lasted about 5 minutes before the kids were too cold (bunch of whiners lol) and loaded back up and came home. Now they are watching HalloweenTown High on Disney, and then off to bed. Can't wait to get the scoop on how Sub ball went, and to see what the glasses are this year (I have a small collection of them, even though I have yet to actually go to one).
Hubby will be home early in the morning from duty, and we are planning a lazy day of nothing for tomorrow. It is supposed to be crappy out anyhow, so maybe I will get started on reading this month's selection for book club (Twilight). I am excited to read it, been wanting too for awhile now, but just had not found the time. I guess I am in need of a few rainy days!
Oh, and did I mention yesterday that I got a job?! So happy. I will be working at Home Instead Senior Care. Yes, I enjoy the work very much, and I can sure use the check. Got my TB test done, have to get it read on Monday. Well, that's all she wrote. Truly I am a very boring person, so sometimes I second guess my grand idea of even doing a blog, but it is therapeutic to an extent, just have to learn how to type a little better!
Hmm, now I think Runescape is calling to me, gotta finish hubby's quest I started for him. Have a good night!

Am I in Flordia??
Cause it FEELS like I am! I would have never guessed that in the middle of April, in Maine, that it would be 71 degrees with a slight breeze! Mind you, I am not complaining ONE BIT! But is it weird or what? Today was so nice, so beautiful, it was one of those "perfect" days in your life that you wish you could just relish for eternity...
Plus, I got an out of the blue phone call this mid morning....Got offered a job that I had applied for several months ago! So excited! Of course, it is not at the pay scale that I want, but it is a job, so I am happy! I must tell you that I love my family and all that goes along with taking care of a family 24/7, but really, deep down, I am one of those people that has to work to be happy. Whatever you may think of it, I believe that i function best when I am working. I am not talking 40 hours a week or anything like that, but I do thrive when I am out on my own and making an income (no matter how small). I guess I just feel accomplished, maybe? oh well.
Anyhow, so after I got hat call, I headed over to the NACC for a TB test (required for the job) and a work physical. After 3 attempts, the stupid corpsman *finally* got the test right. Looking at my left arm, you would think that I am a leper! Neither here nor there I suppose, test is done, have to go back on Monday for the read. Then on Tuesday I have to go into the main office to fill out the paperwork and finalize my schedule. I need to find a babysitter up here..anyone know of one?? I think I will call on a few favors owed to me and it will be alright (I hope). It would not be so bad, but today was the last day of school for the girls ( we get our spring break a week after the rest of the world apparently). FUN!!!!
Ugh, now I am just rambling. This is what you get when you want me to blog everyday! No, no I digress...It was a beautiful day, even a perfect day really and so I only hope that it gets to 50% of what we had today, tomorrow! We shall see. I hope the weekend is wonderful. Mine will be I am sure!

A calm day
Pretty much the title says it all. Had thing 2's ptc bright and early at 7:45am, all is well, we are keeping her on track. Not really wanting to go down the medication road at this point, and her teacher agrees with me, but if/when we get to the fork in the road, I guess I will look into it again. Then off to do my weekly volunteering at NMCRS. Office was dead, had some nice conversation with the colonel, caught up on my "official" email. Next stop was the SUPER wally world to get provisions for dinner tonight. Hubby had requested crab legs, which is a-ok by me, also got some shrimpers for cocktail and some stuffed clams to go along with them. Then got home, caught up on some more email, got my first "official" call of business (woohoo lol) all went smoothly. Then the monsters got home from school and now I am on here. It is nice out today, a bit windy but sunny. I have heard it is supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow but I will believe that when I feel it! Other than that, nothing going on. Thursdays are kind of depressing now that I don't have ER to look forward to. I hope at least one of the shows I watch is not a repeat, other wise I might get done with my new crochet project sooner than anticipated (doing a throw, wonder who is gonna get it in the mail as a surprise present???). Oh well, 1600, gonna go relax for a few before I get into the full swing of dinner mode, kids playing outside, get to be mr meanie when I call them in to clean the bedrooms!

Today is the day
I am so nervous! I know there is no reason that I should be, but I am. Today at 1200 I will OFFICIALLY take over as the ombudsman for my husband's boat. God I hope I don't screw up! Anyhow that is all. I know I have been horrible about updating, but I am making a vow that I will try to get on here everyday and post something, lord knows I am going to need a stress relieving outlet here soon! Have a beautiful day!
