Beautiful Sunday

Now THIS is spring! I love this weather. It would be nice if the wind would calm down, but hey, I'm not complaining...

Had to go to Border's today and pick up a book for the twins. They are taking the AP Calculus test at Heights the first of May. If they pass the test, it counts as college credit. YIPPEE! Anyway, their teacher told them about this study guide that would be really helpful, so Corby and I ran out to Border's to get it since the twins both had to work today. We got the last copy. It was 19 bucks! Pretty cheap if it helps them pass a test that will give them college credit!

Spent the rest of the day getting some things done around the house - both inside and out! I also got Brandon's federal and state taxes done. Got the rest of our taxes done a few weeks ago, but he forgot to bring his W-2 from Dillon's when he was home for spring break, so I had to wait until he sent it to me. Thank goodness he's getting a little bit of money back this year. Believe it or not, he had to pay last year!

We are still reflecting in the glory of KU's win against North Carolina last night. I imagine the bars are gonna be hoppin' around here tomorrow night. I think we'll watch the game in the peace and quiet of our own home.

Kaitlin has decided to ask for less hours at work for the next 6 weeks. She's been pretty stressed with homework and tests, and since she works about 25 hours a week it's been hard for her to get all her homework done. She's one of those kids who needs her 8 or 9 hours of sleep at night! It wasn't that way when she was little. None of our kids slept in when they were young. They were up every day at 6 or 6:30am. Consequently, we never got to sleep in either. Now we all enjoy sleeping in until at least 8 or 9 on the weekends!

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
