No movie night for Mom

So last night my 8year old wants to spend the night at her friends house and my 13 yo. wants to spend the night at her friends house. This is also the weekend that my son goes to J.O's house and we don't have my step-son. That leaves our 6 yo. here with us, crying. I tell her that we were going to have a nice mom, dad and JJ movie night with popcorn. This is GREAT, she loves the idea. In the middle of our movie and popcorn the phone rings, its our 8 yo. I hear from my husband " What's the matter?, What?" then, " she wants to talk to you".
" Mom I smashed my finger in the garage door and it hurts really bad. Jen's mom thinks it's broken." I say " ok be right there"
I drive up in my pj's and Fuzz (my 8yo) is sitting on the porch and I can hear her crying as soon as I turn off the engine. We go inside. The mom says Jen is hideing and crying because she thinks it is all her fault. My daughter pipes up and says " it was my fault for not paying attention". I tell her it is no ones fault it was just an accident. I look at the very white,pretty flat middle finger. I can tell that the nail will be black in the moring and her first knuckle is probley broken. No point in taking her to the hosp. because what they will do for her there I can do just as well and quicker at home. Before we leave her friend comes out of hideing, I thank her for being such a big help to my fuzz and say that if she is feeling better they can play the next day.
I get home, clean up the dirt on it, get two popsickle sticks ( thank you son for bringing home a box of them), medical tape, tape the sticks to the top and bottom of her finger so it can't move, give 3 advil and now I am tired. Never did finish movie night.

Wheels out, Legs in

The price of gas is getting out of control! It is about $3.55 here. Pretty soon I am going to have to do grocery shopping on the way home from work and then park it. We may have to cancel some things that we had planned to do in May and June and save the gas for work only! Maybe we should buy a horse, I think it would be cheaper. The Amish are probley laughing at us because they will be going more palces than us "English". Maybe I'll buy a horse and buggy off them and build a stable where my garden is and then instead of mowing the lawn the horse can eat my grass. That just may work! LOL! The good thing is that the more I walk and ride my bike the thinner I will be. Did you know that for every hour of exercise you will gain 2 hours of life. Talk about a good return on your investment!! Happy Spring!

DONE DONE DONE

My kitchen is done! It looks good. My husband says why don't you paint this ( in the kitchen ), I told him to be my guest. When it comes to paint I don't want anything to do with it for a while. I am going to be working a lot so I won't have time to blog.
My husband statrs his internship in two weeks! He is at the top of his class so he should get a good internship.
My oldest daughter has just turned 13! God save us all!
I must go my six year old is crying because she has nothing to do. I have plenty for her!!

No Title

Every muscle in my body hurts, even the entire bottom of my feet. I think I have a touch of the flu. I have felt like this for 3 days and the only thing that makes it better is Advil.
Since I am unwell we did not go try out for Deal or No Deal. My husband did obtain, through school, a free ticket to tonights Pirates vs. Reds game tonight. He is sitting in the FSN ( Fox Sports Net work) box!! I think that is so cool! I am so proud of him taking the chance and going to school. He is really opening up major doors for himself!!

Finds

I found some interesting things this weekend. One of those things was an under ground bumblebee nest in my garden. The good thing was that they were still dormint so they didn't fight back when I beat them. Then I poured boinling water over the area that I had found them. I hopeing that that will take care of them.
At the thrift store I found a doll that had a few scuff marks on her, other than that she was in perfect condition. I brought her home cleaned her up and added her to my collection. I love thrift stores.
I also seen an ad on tv that Deal or No Deal is coming to Pittsburgh for audtions and I am making my husband try out. I am excited!!! You may see us on tv in a few months.I'll let you know!!

A fishy named Felicity

I am so proud of my 8 yr. old daughter, her name is Felicity. She has found her sport, swimming. Last year when she took swim lessons she was moved up a group in the middle of the lessons. This year she has been moved up two groups in two days, which now puts her in the top group. Since she is doing so well, if she would like, I will put her on the swim team next year. She had wanted to join this past year but I din't think she was ready. Now I am excited for her because I know she will have fun. Her brother will be joining the jr. high team next year, which he will enjoy better because he won't have to give up an entire Sat. for the events. Now I have two fishies in the family!
P.S My youngest wants to be a REAL mermaid.
