Well, the watch seems to have a small hitch. 3 actually. Each time the bigger hands pass, or try to, another of the hands, they stop. Also, the watch is no longer winding. I think I'm going to have to seriously look into bringing this baby to a jeweler's. And the cover story would be easy with mom, since I've been wanting to do it for a while anyhow...it can get cleaned up and fixed if need be. It's an old watch, having it looked it wouldn't be a BAD thing. I just really hope running it through the wash hasn't completely ruined it!!!
So, I was thinking, I have no meme to do today. It's Saturday, and I only do them Tuesday thru Friday. But that's where the Weekend Blog Hoppers comes in. Cause now I have a public to cater to (ha ha), and I'll write something interesting just for them. It will all help me keep up with the commitment to Blog 365.
But, BuzzeeDad---you're evil.
SmartassticMom---you too. You don't know all of the debauchery you have put in my mind. Including inspiring me to be a lot more myself, in so many ways you will never know!
Love ya both!
Enough sentimentality.
I didn't get to bed until after 2, and I didn't fall asleep until 4 (P woke up just as I fell asleep, so I had to start myself all over again once I quickly got him settled). I'm feeling a bit off thanks to that, but now I know why. I've got a list to attack, and a sunroom to deal with as well (T looked thru his tools, so he made a bit of a mess, but at least put most of it back). As much as I can do before bed tonight I will. And I'll see about a nap during P's. But I've got to make a commitment to going to bed by 11. Just as I have to make a commitment to getting P to bed at 8. No later. If I can seriously help it, and nearly 100% of the time I can!

Finally!
After several trials and tribulations, both that did and didn't include the little guy, I'm finally on the computer! I came in here to get on the computer when T (FINALLY) went to bed, and it wasn't connected to the internet. Not even the cord. I found it, thought I had it plugged in right---nope, still nothing. Then I figured maybe it just needed to be restarted....tried that, it wouldn't even start. I figured I'd just wait until T got up---since he and P were sleeping, and I wanted to clean the wash room some, so I did. P got up, I did some dishes, we had lunch, he needed his little butt changed, and in the process got his pants dirty by sitting in his lunch (totally by accident, he had been sitting on the floor in front of me eating it, and got up on the couch next to me, fell off---gently, with me catching him as best I could. At least he didn't go head first. And landed in the bowl. So, everything came off. Nakkid baby running around. Jumping on the bed where his daddy slept, waking him up. I sorta mentioned something about the computer, but told him he didn't have to wake up and help me, I was fine with him sleeping until the time he had asked to get woke up so he could work on P's godfather's laptop. But I told him the problem and he told me how to fix it, and here I am. Lucky you.
Other things I want to do today:
more dishes
Vac
Fold clothes in dryer
wash more clothes
Review and pay bills
Make dinner list
make up grocery list
Go grocery shopping
Oh, that's good and doable. I'll report more later. We haven't had any more snow, so there's no reason to go out and shovel today. Dang, and I wanted to, too! Crazy, huh? BTW, let's have some fun and go over my list for yesterday:
Come up with a Thursday 13 post - done
Finish voting for the Weblog Awards - done @ nearly midnight, which kept me up until then (didn't help that with T sleeping until 8, and dinner not ready until then, I didn't get P into the bedroom for bed until after 9, and he didn't fall asleep until nearly 10:30), and I'm now anxiously waiting to see if I've been accepted into The Weekend Bloghoppers. I wouldn't barhop if I were single (well, not much anyhow), but it still looks like fun!
Dishes - some, not all
Clothes - T's are NOW all done, I've got mine and P's going thru the process now
Pick up garbage - some, I have to put garbage bags on my list
Make a grocery list (including garbage bags) - going to do soon
Figure out dinner tonight and dinner list - at least dinner, and I did Spanish Chicken and Rice from Weight Watchers. That was lunch today too.
Pay bills that need it - will do in minutes!
Spend time with kids - while D may not believe it, I did this even with her
Crochet or knit something :-) - wow, one thing I didn't do yesterday that I wanted to. But I did some today, so I'm good :-)

Late night
Okay, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed just as soon as I'm done here. But today ended up going really well. I even shoveled the driveway. 3 times. I've got to keep this up, I feel like myself again!!!
So later gator, I'll talk to you then! :-)
So later gator, I'll talk to you then! :-)
Big duh, dippy dippy!
Well I've figured out part of what will make me feel better....
Getting a good night's sleep. I feel TOTALLY on my game. And I didn't need any sleeping pills or anything (we know those can be deadly---oh, see, here I'm making a cultural reference [see my "Say it isn't so" post on Tuesday], see how with it I am?), I just needed to hit the pillow before 11pm, and fall asleep before 11:30. I really need to do this more often, I feel great. And the cup of coffee has little to do with it---I was rather awake before that, the coffee's just a recreational treat. Hmm...I'm doing stuff recreationally. Not good. But now I'm thinking about all the things I need to get done....
clothes---hey, I've already got 2 loads in---one's in the dryer now, and needs to be taken out, the other's in the washer and needs to be put in, and there's also the load that I folded, so I guess that's actually 3 I've dealt with.
I'm going to be putting the little guy down for a nap shortly, and then we'll see where we go. I have to soon, because it's almost 1 and he sleeps really well the earlier I get him down. Yesterday it didn't help, because we got real comfortable after he fell asleep, so I sorta dislodged him when I got up---almost had the same when he went down for bed, but somehow he managed to stay, after some shushing and D telling me to leave him alone. Sometimes mommy just needs to remember that. Anyhow, he's going down a lot easier because he is staying rather busy and even though the tv's on even now, he's not WATCHING it. Neither am I, I'm barely listening to it. But I should change the channel, not sure what to because DIY isn't doing their usual line up (at least yesterday they didn't---I like Knitty Gritty and Uncommon Threads), so I might change it to the Christian Music station.
Anyhow, I've got other things I'd like to do, and it looks like I might actually get them done. Here's my complete list:
Come up with a Thursday 13 post
Finish voting for the Weblog Awards
Dishes
Clothes
Pick up garbage
Make a grocery list (including garbage bags)
Figure out dinner tonight and dinner list (will probably do Spanish Chicken and Rice)
Pay bills that need it (might move the electric bill to next month [it's really small], and pay just the car insurance, phone bill with the local phone company who is no longer our provider but I have to pay it so it doesn't hit our credit report, and the kid's dentist so they can have their dentist appointment next month. Or when the office calls with a cancellation again. Gotta get the kids to brush their teeth more often again.)
Spend time with kids
Crochet or knit something :-)
I've got to alternate my computer time with my housework time. Right now I have to answer the call of the coffee going through me! :-S
P.S. Go vote for my friend, Lotus on Sarcastic Mom---she's sweet and so awesome, and I'm voting for her!!! She's up for Best New Blog, you'll have to scroll down to the bottom!

Tuesday's Challenge
I've decided I'm going to do my best to just bust through whatever it is that's making me feel so bad. I've considered carbon monoxide poisoning or something, considering I DO feel a bit better when I leave, and I feel worse at one end of the couch than the other, but we've got a CO detector, and if there was something wrong, it would be screaming, right? It's not. It did last year (and from the gas company came in to check around), but it's not now. So, I think I'm just suffering from an extra long cold or a touch of the flu. It's not like I can go to the doc and get checked for it anyhow. It would cost me $300 just to think about it.
Speaking of which, T mentioned that the government/Bush is thinking of another tax refund thing this year, and we'd get roughly $1600 from it. Well, I think it's stupid---give us the break with the taxes we give them every day, not some large chunk that's probably really not in the budget. I mean, if you think our money situation is bad---look at the government. And who's calling them asking for their money? No one can touch them, and they do way worse than any citizen.
Anyhow, I'm going to suggest to T that we use that for the bills we owe on. We should have something left over---maybe enough for a lunch or something. He's thinking about going out to Colorado to visit again this year (prompted by his brother asking me if we were coming out, and telling me to talk to him about it. I told him up front I don't want to go, due in part to the fact that I don't want to have to deal with his grandma :( Not my idea of FUN and that's what a vacation's supposed to be!!!). We could work around that too, but I really want to start thinking about our long term, and start paying things off so maybe one day we CAN get a house! :-| We'll see :-|
So, I've done some dishes already, picked up the floor a bit, and rearranged the stuff on the futon a bit. I've also removed the clothes that were there, and I plan on folding them. Then picking up all the clothes around the house (namely in our bedroom and the bathroom), and poking and prodding the washer to see if the pipes have thawed yet :-|

Mild Monday....
Though if you were to look outside you might not think so, LOL! We've finally got snow again, woo hoo! I'm happy, because I like snow during winter. :-) It's really good snowman snow, but unfortunately the kids didn't go out to make one because we weren't home long enough during daylight hours. I went and cashed that check from mom, and spent some of it.
I was right on target on one of the things that didn't help my mood yesterday.
At least I'm getting something up now, because I really don't feel like writing much more beyond this. But I want to keep up the blogging every day, so here you go!
:-P

Happy Saturday!
Right now I'm in a really good mood. In part because now I know why I've been in such a black funk for the last week or so and why my head has been hurting, and my back...I don't know how delicately to put this, so I'll just come right out and say it---I've got my period. Now I know what you might say---EEWWW!!! I'm not trying to be graphic or give you TMI, and I'm sure you'd say "what's so special about that?" and "why in the world are you so happy about something I'm sick to death of?" Well, between my 2 kids, because of taking Depo Provera, I hardly ever had a period. Frankly, it got to the point where I called it a "when it wants to" and it didn't want to very often. I literally went years without it. It was just starting to come back AT ALL when we conceived P! And it had started to come back earlier this year with all the weight loss, but then it took another hiatus. It's just a really great Christmas present that my body is giving me! :-) But it explains the crazy headaches, which I've been having off and on but not mentioning.
We've been getting snow. :-) It looked great when I looked out while T was cleaning off the car to go to work. It was falling softly, and just looked pretty. Now it's falling either as sleet like I know it did the other day when we went out on Thursday (I think), or little ice balls...I know it can't be freezing rain because it sounds like little bits of ice hitting the snow. Rain would run, even some of it was freezing. And cars aren't going slow (we do live on a major road). As I understand it we're going to get wholloped pretty hard. Several places up in the Tonawanda, etc, areas are already cancelling things, like different churches and such. I'm wondering if it will end up being wise to go to church tomorrow. I was really hoping to, because tomorrow is the adult Christmas musical. :-| I went up to the lady whose singing during the beginning of the service always inspires me last week between services and told her that I always really enjoyed watching her, because you can tell just how much she loves God and enjoys what she's doing. She asked if I was going to go to the musical. We couldn't have tonight if we even wanted to anyhow, but I will definitely be making it to church if I can. There are only 2 services tomorrow, instead of the usual 3---I guess this musical is long enough that it will run into the time for the middle one. :-)
I'm going to be setting down my general template for the Christmas newsletter here in a few minutes. I've been thinking it over for the last day or so, and I know how I'm going to do it---basic updates for each person in the family, and specific messages for certain friends and family at the beginning, besides any big news about the whole family, like going to church on a regular basis and mom being back in state.
I'm done with the basic roses now. I will be starting on the green parts shortly, after I've looked through all the Christmas cards we've gotten and worked on the letter some. I was also able to get most of the stuff for assembling them yesterday while D was at Girl Scouts. I forgot the safety pins that mom requested I use instead of the usual quilting/corsage pin that I have included with them. I should have enough of the size that she wants anyhow. Here's the picture of the field of completed roses, don't they look awesome?:
The middle row looks dark blue, but they are actually purple. I think they are pretty good. :-) Yes, I'm very modest about my talent.
