Ok - so I havent blogged in a while, well to tell you the truth, nothing too interesting has been going on. Instead of drinking too much, then being a designated driver and then throwing Nick his 9th birthday party at Lazer Tag. The boys were so cute - they had a blast.
But something really big happened in our neighborhood this morning. I woke up as usual around 7am, came out into the family room and saw that Tyler was in the shower and Nick was on the couch watching cartoons. Just a regular morning, right? Little did we know at that time, a murderer was rooming through our neighborhood and the cops were on pursuit! NO JOKE! So, I get my bowl of mini wheats, plop down in front of the tv and turn on my DVR to watch a little bit of Trading Spouses before Tom wakes up. He's a news person in the morning, so I try to get in something I like to watch before he wakes up. Anyways, so here he comes with his cup of coffee and I turn on Fox 2 News. BREAKING NEWS - Murder Suspect on the Loose in O'Fallon MO. The following schools are closed. There were only 5 closed (in O'Fallon there are TONS) and of course it just so happens to be Nick's elementary school and Tyler's middle school. Tyler was JUST getting ready to walk out the door to the bus stop. So we are GLUED to the tv at this point, watching it all unfold when we hear helicopters overhead, REALLY, REALLY close. We look outside and there they are right above our house. We see our subdivision on the tv - our house included. Talk about SCARY. We live on a small court (only 3 houses) and there is a playground right in front of our house. Behind the playground is a wooded creek and behind that is a farm field. Well the helicopter decided to land in the field. Then we see cops, SWAT teams scouring our little neighborhood. I about craped myself when they were walking through our front yard. I've never in my life seen anything like it. Unmarked cars, cops, SWAT, guys in military fatigues - the whole 9 yards. OMG - it was pretty frightening. My youngest Nick said, "Dont worry mom, I have my gun (its a gun he got at Disney World, it doesnt even shoot anything) and my binoculars, I'll keep you safe! I will watch for the bad guy and call the police." Talk about cute!!
Needless to say, they followed him back about 1 1/2 miles away from my house (THANK GOD) and caught him. WHEW - its been a morning for sure!

Psychic Powers?? Only time will tell
Ok...long weekend. Time to catch up.
Friday night we did the usual, went to Bottom's Up and drank a bit of brew. It was yummy and I love going there. We had the usual crowd and the usual shots...so it was nummy.
Saturday night we went to our neightbor's Psychic party and let me say, I was pretty amazed on how accurate this woman was. Now my neighbor, I do trust, and I asked her if she told this woman anything about me or Tom. Tammy assured me that she didnt say a word. This woman was upstairs the entire time and I didnt meet her until it was my turn. I was really nervous and I was shaking a bit, but she was very calming and reassuring. She didnt look "gypsy" like or anything strange, she was very pretty and "normal" looking. I guess when one goes to a psychic you kind of have a vision of them in your mind looking kind of odd, so I was pleasantly surprised when she looked like a normal person.
Anyways....I walked in, gave her my first name and my birthday. That's it! That's all the information I gave her and she started in on my personality. She said that I was a "2" which means I'm a peacemaker, good hearted, kind, laid back....all in all a nice person. Which she said I will begin standing up for myself more and more, be able to stand up for myself more and more and pretty soon I will be able to overcome my hurdle of worrying what other people think. I was SHOCKED. How could this lady know that about me?? I've written a little bit about it on this blog and talked to people that are close to me about this. But not my neighbor - so that was cool to hear that I will soon be able to not worry so much about it and be able to stand up for myself and tell people what I really want to tell them.
Next she asked me about my job, I told her that I was a Business Analyst. She laughed and said, "Do you enjoy your job?" I said, "It pays the bills". She told me that I was put on this earth to help people not crunch numbers. She said within a year she sees me in a classroom getting a degree in psychology and working with children, I have a bit of teacher in me. THIS is something I have been pondering with over the last 6 months - 1 year. I have been hoping that Tom will be able to make enough money for me to go back to school and I was thinking about getting a degree in Psychology - I KNOW! Trust me, I about fell out of my chair. She said that the only reason I have not started taking classes is because of money and she said, "Your financial situation will be very good and you will not have any reason not to pursue this." Again - I did not say a word, just sat there with my mouth dropped open (probably attracking flies because I couldnt shut it!)
She told me that I have a long life until about 70, but I need to quit smoking (again she didnt know I smoked) because I will have some respitory problems after 70 if I dont.
She told me things about my mother, that I wont get into on this blog because they are WAY too personal. I want to see if her predictions come true before I state what was said. But I can say that my mother's condition has both bothered me, concerned me, frustrated me..etc. as well as my mom. She told me that my mother is a fighter and has been fighting for a long time but she is getting tired. Those of you that know my mother, know this to be fact as well.
She said that my marriage is happy and that it will continue going upwards, it will get better and better. She said that my sex drive was off the charts LMAO!
She told me my boys are polar opposites (SO TRUE) and extremely good natured kids. She said that my oldest was going to breeze through his teenage years, never really cause any major problems, have no hurdles, fall in love with the right girl, get married and will work in a field where he will be helping people. Truth: Tyler has been talking about going into law enforcement. As he says, "I want to be a hero and help people". SPOOKY. She said Nick was another story, he is going to have a couple of hurdles growing up, nothing major, but it was going to be more difficult for him. She said that he will become withdrawn and quiet during his teenage years, but to not worry, he will be ok. She said that she sees him getting involved with a sport and making money doing it. She said she thinks its more on the line of him getting a scholarship than being a professional athlete. She said she feels he is going to be a writer. Truth:Nick wrote his 1st book about 3 months ago....LOL I never thought anything about it.
She also read Tom, which I had to force him to do it. He's such a skeptic, but he was shocked and amazed by what she said about him. I wont go into details, but he is a "22" which is really rare. Look it up on the Internet under numerology. We all thought he was lying when he came down and told us, because everyone else was a 1 - 9. No one else was an 11 or 22.
I'm going to have her over and do a psychic party probably around the holiday season. My sister in law will be in town and she wants me to wait so she can be read.

Blah, Blah, Blah
Today is Thursday and I get so anxious for it to be Friday. I only work a half a day on Friday's so it always feels like my Thursday's are Friday's. I LOVE my Friday's. In the summer time, I usually head to my friend Lori's house and relax in her pool and get my tan on. Its been sometime since I did that, mainly because its no longer summer :( I hate when summer's go away. I think I have that stupid syndrome that people get in the winter. I just call it Cabin Fever. Now I spend my Friday afternoon's cleaning up the house, doin laundry or going shopping. Things that I can get done before the weekend officially starts.
Last night I finished up sending out the invite's for Nick's birthday party. He's so excited. Its a Lazer tag party at Brunswick and he couldnt be happier. I just hope everyone comes. I cannot BELIEVE he is already 9 years old. I need to start treating him like a 9 year old, but to me he will always be my baby. My little chubby cheek 9 pounder!! He's such a caring loving extremely hyper child too. Never a dull moment around him, let me tell you. And he still wants to be President of the United States when he grows up. I'm waiting for him to change his mind on that one, because he's a kid, but that's been stickin for about a little over a year now. Who knows? Wouldnt that be funny, Yes Mr. President - would I have to call him that?? LOL
Anyways - I'm looking forward to this weekend. Of course, doing the norm tomorrow night going to Bottom's Up and drinkin some brew. I think this weekend is the last warm weekend, so maybe I'll be a rebel and wear a summer dress one last time (notice the tear dropping from my eye).
Then Sat night we are heading up to the neighbor's house for her psychic party - this I cannot wait for!! I havent seen a psychic (God, is the spelling right on that one - it looks odd to me) in a very long time. Always a good time. I'm pretty curious to see what she has to say. My neighbor went to the party and she said she was "Spot On". So she decided to throw a party of her own. I think Tom is even going to get a reading - the skeptic that he is. So anyways, I will be sure and let you all know how that went - aught to be interesting.
tootles for now!

Monday's and Dentist's
I'm sure many would agree with me that Monday's just plain SUCK! I always feel so sluggish and its hard to get back in the game with work and deadlines and meetings...but oh well, what can you do? Last Friday, I got a call from my boss wanting to get my feel for something new. It seems her boss is proposing to his boss (boy, - my cousin's uncle's postman barber...LOL) that there should be a new role under our department called Demand Management. They want me to lead it up. Which is REALLY, REALLY exciting, considering that if it goes well under our region then they will probably roll it out to all of North America. In a nutshell, I would be prioritizing all of the different projects that come through our department before they head off to IT. Making sure everything is complete and ready to go. There is some new software that I will have to train on, but WOW - I think this is a great thing. It could become something pretty big one day and then who knows what will happen. So I have my first meeting on Wednesday to learn more about the role. There are only 2 things that have me concerned about this:
1. - this will be on TOP of the rest of the things I do on a daily basis, so there is a lot more work
2. - the back up person is someone I dont really care for, her and I have worked in the past and we seem to butt heads on a lot of different things. Although, I did ask my boss if she would be working full time side by side with me on this and she said No, she is strickly for back up purposes only. So that makes me feel a little better.
The weekend went pretty good - got all of the Halloween decorations up, but Nick seems to think we need more. I think he's right!LOL Again, just give me an excuse! Tom and I watched the Love Guru on Sat night and I thought it was freakin hilarious! Very much a Mike Meyers movie and lots and lots of references to wiener's - La Coq Grande LMAO!!
Yesterday we went to spend some time with Tom's grandma in the nursing home. BOY was I nervous! See the reason being is Tom's dad pretty much wrote her off 11 years ago because she didnt show up at our wedding. So Tom and I have not been involved in her life for 11 years. There are other reasons besides that (favoritism in the family etc...) but since her and his Grandpa got sick last Christmas, Tom has been spending more time with them. His Grandpa passed away this past July and Tom wanted his Grandma to really get to know his kids and me. But again, I was really nervous - I just wanted her to like me and the kids. But it was nice and we had a good time - she's pretty sharp for an 82 year old woman! Plus, I think its a good thing, in life you should have no regrets! Because you never know what can happen and I think Tom especially regrets not spending more time with his Grandpa before he died.
Went to the dentist today for my 6 month check up. GOD - I absolutely HATE going there. I mean I love the dentist and the place, but I hate having my mouth worked on. Luckily no cavities but she did mention I would have to get a Deep Cleaning done in the near future. They will have to numb me for it - so you know there will be pain involved!!!! YUCK - if I would have only taken better care of my teeth in my 20's, who knows where I would be now.

DRAMA!
So we went to the new place last night - Timber Creek Grill. It was a really cool place, it was all decorated like it was hunting lodge. We sat outside and they had torches and a firepit. Pretty cool - the bill wasnt too bad either! Makes things nice. But things went downhill when Amy suggested we head to Sam and Steph's afterwards. I was game, but Tom was not. He was tired from driving to and from Topeka yesterday and plus Tyler had a friend over here and he didnt want to leave the 3 of those boys home alone much longer. So I suggested everyone come over here. Well that just pissed Sam and Steph off pretty bad. You could totally tell - they became very, very quiet and just didnt look very happy. So they ended up calling his sister and going to Silo X (Haunted House). The funny thing was only Lori and Scott came back to our house, but that was mainly because we were driving them!!
Again - Who cares??? Right?
Today is the day we put up the Halloween decorations - Nick's been bugging me all morning, "When are we doing the decorations Mom?". So I better get off here and get to it. Plus I have to head to the grocery store and get some dinner - my mom and dad are coming over here. Pork tenderloin - YUMMY! I think I'll head to Blockbuster and get a scary movie to watch tonight too - especially since all the decor will be up!!

Family Tyme
Ok, ya know, I know nobody gets along with EVERYONE in their family. This is true. But one of my biggest hurdles in life is worrying about what other people think about me. Especially family members. My family is small, not too many people to worry about, but Tom's family is BIG and I mean BIG! And for the most part, they all live here in the St. Louis area. Talk about intimidating at first - yeah, it was. But right now I'm concerned about 2 member's of my family.
First is my father. God am I really putting this in writing???? He is probably my biggest hurdle. All through my life, I've tried my damdest to please that man. Why??? I want to know WHY! In my opinion he is one of the most arrogant know it all's that I know. But I dont know, you know they say that the father is the most important figure in a girl's life growing up. Probably why I still have that stupid hurdle that keeps starting at me in the face. But I swear, no matter what I do its simply not good enough. He likes to take stabs at me every chance he gets and I cant tell if he is joking around or if he is serious. He knows that it makes me upset - I know that, so if he was joking wouldnt you think he would stop? Yes, I got pregnant at 20 and was unmarried. But SHIT havent I paid enough for that? I'm 34 years old and married to the same guy that got me pregnant and we are happy as hell. I have a great job, 2 great kids, a great house - but yet he still thinks that I'm a piece of shit. He adores my husband and I know he prefers him over me. The man is 75 years old and wont be around much longer and it breaks my heart to think that we can never have, what I consider, a wonderful father/daughter relationship. Oh well - like my best friend Erin says, he'll never change and once I realize that I'm sure I'll finally get over it.
Then there is my sister in law who I use to talk to on a daily basis. They moved to Singapore, her hubby is in the Air Force. Now, I know that there is a time difference, major time difference and its hard to talk on a daily basis. But we dont talk at all anymore. She has time to talk to my other sister in law, who by the way, she really didnt like. But I guess that changed. This goes back to Christmas - we had Christmas here at our house and she was being a big time crab ass. No doubt! Not only did I notice, but so did everyone else. I was in my garage talking with my neighbor about it and her daughter overheard me stating that she was acting like a bitch. I had no idea until a couple of days after that. My sister in law approached me about it. I felt horrible. But she even said she was being a bitch. Anyways - regardless her daughter heard me bad mouth her. I apologized profusly and I thought we worked it out. But ever since then, she wont return my calls or emails. It really hurts me that she would let one incident, which I've apologized over and over, ruin our relationship. But I guess that's the way it goes. They are going to be moving back to STL in a year and I'm not sure how I'm suppose to act. She is married to Tom's brother and I dont want to cause a problem between those two. I guess I'll just act cordial but leave it at that. If she can drop me that quick after being as close as we were for 13 years then that's fine -I'm done!

WOW - am I really doing this?
You know, I never thought I would be the type of person to blog....but here I am! I feel so retro and new. But I figure since I've got a million and one thoughts running through my head, why not put them down. I use to keep a journal in highschool (God - those are really bad) and I felt that it helped putting down all my thoughts and feelings onto paper. So this kinda scares me, since its on the world wide web....but who really cares what I have to say, right?
Today is Friday and I just got back from shopping at Target. Since its getting close to Halloween time, I ALWAYS have to pass through the holiday aisles there. Of course, I purchased stuff. Halloween invites for our party and some really cool candles. They are shaped like an actual candlebra, but they are full blown candles and they're black but drip red...pretty cool!
Tomorrow Nick and I will be putting the decorations up and I'm thinking that I will have to go through everything and pitch the stuff I dont want anymore and then go buy some more!! Just give me an excuse to shop - that's all I need, plus a little cash too.
Anyways - tonight my Friday night gang and I are going to a new place we havent been called Timber Creek Grill. Its still close to home, but my best friend Amy is bringing her new beau and she didnt want to go to the normal place we go which is Bottom's Up because the bartender and her had a 2 minute thing. He acts sort of strange when she is around now, so I completely get where she is coming from. But it will be interesting checking out a new place - but I know we all will continue going to Bottom's Up - we just love it there. Plus, Tom and I went there Wed night for a few brews and found out they are expanding!! YES! They are going to put an outdoor patio and add some pool tables and such. We told them that during the summer months we all like to hang out outside, so this will give us no excuse for not going there in the summer! This place is a place that is classy yet casual and they always have live entertainment. Usually a one man band, but I love that. You can still actually have a conversation with the people you are with instead of screaming over each other and waking up the next morning with a scratchy throat.

Tomorrow Nick and I will be putting the decorations up and I'm thinking that I will have to go through everything and pitch the stuff I dont want anymore and then go buy some more!! Just give me an excuse to shop - that's all I need, plus a little cash too.
Anyways - tonight my Friday night gang and I are going to a new place we havent been called Timber Creek Grill. Its still close to home, but my best friend Amy is bringing her new beau and she didnt want to go to the normal place we go which is Bottom's Up because the bartender and her had a 2 minute thing. He acts sort of strange when she is around now, so I completely get where she is coming from. But it will be interesting checking out a new place - but I know we all will continue going to Bottom's Up - we just love it there. Plus, Tom and I went there Wed night for a few brews and found out they are expanding!! YES! They are going to put an outdoor patio and add some pool tables and such. We told them that during the summer months we all like to hang out outside, so this will give us no excuse for not going there in the summer! This place is a place that is classy yet casual and they always have live entertainment. Usually a one man band, but I love that. You can still actually have a conversation with the people you are with instead of screaming over each other and waking up the next morning with a scratchy throat.
