SWAPS

Making SWAPS for girl scouts!

Ellas clean teeth

My baby had her first teeth cleaning a couple weeks ago. She really did a great job listening and sitting still. She really enjoyed getting the prizes when she was done.

My pretty flowers

I have to say that it really makes my day when I come into my room and see fresh flowers there. If I have a bad day or I am just feeling a little blue, when I see my flowers I know I have been thought of and I brighten right up. I hope they keep on coming!

A Day At the Movies

I just spent all of yesterday at the movies with a couple of friends. This is the second year that AMC has offered this fun day at the movies. I went last year too! For $30 you get to see 5 movies that are up for the awards and they give you popcorn, you can bring in your own food and drink and they give some time in between the movies to walk around and stretch. This year we saw Michael Clayton, There Will Be Blood, Atonement, Juno and No Country For Old Men. I hadn't seen any of them before, other than Juno. I really liked that one, so I didn't mind seeing it twice. Juno was my favorite of the 5. Michael Clayton was also very good. Atonement and No Country For Old Men tied for 3rd/4th and There Will Be Blood was my least favorite. There was a death theme this year. Juno is the only one without death. No Country for Old Men had a crazy amount of killing. Atonement had war, and therefore death, Michael Clayton had a little bit of death and one scene that I actually shrieked at because it surprised me, and There Will Be Blood had several accidental deaths and a couple of murders. I really just enjoy comedies, adventures and other feel-good movies, so this was a big day of not-what-I'm-used-to for me.

MidWinter Break

Midwinter Break is coming to an end, and I have to say I really enjoyed my week. I took Brianna to see the Spiderwick Chronicles. It was good. Brianna was a little scared, but still liked it. I read the 3 books before, and I thought they did a great job on the movie. I also had a day with just Ella, when Brianna was at my dad's house. We hung out around the house and watched t.v. together. Then I had a nice evening when Brian took me out to the Thomas Edison Inn for dinner. The nerd in me liked watching the lunar eclipse during dinner. The dinner was just delicious, and I had a really nice time. The day after the TEI dinner, we had lunch at The St. Clair Inn. Again, it was a beautiful view. We sat right by the windows overlooking the river. The food could have been better, but it was still nice. Friday evening we took our girls out to Frankenmuth to Zehnder's Splash Village. Brian's mom and sisters were keeping our girls there for the weekend, so we were dropping them off and visiting for awhile. The water park at this hotel was so fun for the kid, and I had fun too. The tube water slide goes really fast and goes outside and then back inside. At night, when you go outside, the tube is pitch black. So fun! The rest of my break was spent going out to the bars with my friends and just having a really good time. Check out the next post to read about my Saturday at the movies.

Love can suck

The saddest thing in the world is loving someone so much that you'd be willing to do ANYTHING for them and they still dont want you.

Happy Valentines Day!

Aren't they beautiful? I got them at work today!

Last Thursday was a snow day so I took the girls sledding. We had fun. The girls took turns going alone and they went together. I even went down a couple times. It was the first time I went sledding since I hurt myself last year.

Sick me

I have been fighting off some illness the last few weeks and it finally caught me today. I went to work today because our district had school even though so many other districts were closed because of the snow. I took my allergy meds and motrin but by the afternoon i had lost my voice and now i just feel tired and conjested. I am in Port Huron with my friend for our college class. We had a really nice dinner and we have class tomorrow. I just hope i can make it through feeling like this.
