An Awesome Contest

Nope not I, but I did find an awesome blogger that has a contest for some cute baby things. Check out her blog http://konite-empire.blogspot.com/ . Not that I have a baby yet, but I hope to have one in the next year to 18 months. Plus I always need baby gifts!!

I suck at blogging

However I was at my sisters house this past week so that is part of the excuse. I had a nice visit...I adore my neice and nephew. I made it home about an hour and a half late. After we boarded the plane 30 minutes late because they were "checking some things." Then we sat on the runway for over an hour...first we were waiting in queue because so many planes were back up. Then we had to wait for a giant thunderstorm to hit. We had a bumpy and somewhat scary take off, but all was well after that. I was due in Raleigh at 8:04 and go in at 9:25.

Brent and I are addicted to monopoly. We play every night and twice on the weekends. We have to see who can beat who the worst. Although he gets frustrated and says he isn't going to play anymore if I win a couple in a row. Big Baby!

Thursday I'm starting Zumba again. I joined a couple zumba meetup groups. They are rather expensive though. The one on Thursday is 8.00/class. So If I go twice a week that will be $64/month. I paid $30 to go in Kentucky twice a week and that was at the YMCA. I wasn't a member there. We defintely can't afford that each month.

I know I should be doing something productive

but I'm not....I'm sitting in front of the computer watching reruns of Spin City haha. In my defense I did get up this AM and go to walmart. I replaced the cats flea collars, walked the dog, changed the burnt out light bulb, ate lunch, started packing for the weekend trip and my trip next week, changed the litter box, and put the dishes in the dishwasher. It sounds like much more than it is. We are leaving tomorrow evening for Charleston SC for Brent's birthday. Tomorrow AM I'm baking him a birthday cake because I'll be gone next week. His actual birthday is Sunday. He has decided that he is working from home the whole day tomorrow so...he'll know about the cake when he smells it baking..unfortunately because I wanted it to be a surprise. Monday I'm flying to Philadelphia. I'm hoping for a smooth trip and no delays at the airports. It's a non stop flight which is awesome, and unheard of when I lived in WV. Now I'm going to go....ummm IDK maybe find a gift bag for Brents' birthday gifts...

When I read my blog...

I realize that most of the time I sound completely stupid. I was reading back through the previous entries just now and I've realized that I sound like a fifth grader. You would think that after 4.5 years of college I could write a little more eloquently. I think I defintely need to work on that.

I'm currently sitting at my parents house in WV. At 4 my mom and dad are driving me to Wytheville VA to meet up with Brent. While I've been here I've realized how amazing my mom and dad are. I absolutely 110% could not ask for better parents. I've also been blessed with an amazing mother and father in law. I honestly don't know what I would do without the 4 of them.

Brent returned to NC from his business trip between 11 and 12 today. They've already scheduled him for another trip next month. I'm so thankful that he has a job, but it strikes a nerve with me because this job advertised no overnight travel. He's gone at least once a month. Next month is only for 2 days, but still...I wasn't pleased with the amount of drinking that was done on this trip. I love my husband dearly, and obviously I too have drank more than I should in the past, but I've always despised drunk people. I've dated too many alcoholics and I hate hearing Brent when he's been drinking. I trust him 100%, I just hate the rambling and making no sense. You don't call someone at 10pm and tell them you'll call them back in a couple hours...wtf...that makes no sense.

West Virginia

So I've been in West Virginia since Thursday night. Brent was with me until Sunday then he went back to Raleigh and today is going to SC for business. We didn't do much for the fourth. His parents had a cookout, then we drove to Chapmanville to see the fireworks...they sucked... Monday I spent the day with my friend Miranda's daughter Skyler. She's almost six and she is a little fire cracker. Yesterday I got a new haircut! Woot! Although it looked better when it was curled yesterday.

Almost done with school

Tomorrow will be my last day at the preschool. It's sad...I love to teach, but I know we need the money. Our End of the Year Celebration was postponed due to illness (swine flu) so I'll get to see everyone again in August.

On a lighter note...we are leaving Thursday night to go to WV! Woot. Brent will be back on Monday, but I'm staying there until Friday. I love seeing my family and I'm way excited to see my BFF Miranda and her little one! I will defintely miss the hubby though...he'll be in SC for training and stuff for part of the week so I'd be alone even if I was home. I'm even excited about seeing my inlaws haha. I honestly do love my mother in law. She does make my head hurt occasionally though haha.

Tomorrow's the last day

of school...for the kiddos that is. We are still there until the 30th. I am so not looking forward to Saturday's graduation because I have to talk...I hate hate public speaking. Plus we have some kind of flu (possibly swine) break out at school. We had a total of 8 kids in the whole school today. Some are sick and some parents just kept their's home because they are scared. I wasn't raised in a house where you didn't send your kid to school. It helps them build up their immune system. The children that have it are only mildly ill...I understand you not wanting your child sick, but they probably aren't going to die. On an up note maybe they will cancel the Saturday festivities or postpone them until another day (preferably one where I am out of town :)

The hubby and I have decided that instead of Busch Gardens for his 30th we are going to go to Charleston SC and save Busch Gardens for late August or early September. I'm so pysched to go on the haunted jail tour in Charleston!
