I had better not be getting sick! I feel like crap today. I'm nauseous and have a headache. I have so much cleaning to do and dont feel like doing any of it. :( Plus Matthew wants spaghetti for dinner and I planned to make sauce today. Nice cool rainy day for it but I'd rather just lay in bed.
I just about finished the directory last night. I have all the information entered. I need to get someone to scan the business cards so I can add those to the "yellow pages" Then there were a few names that I needed to have confirmed as contacts for the different family council action teams. Hopefully I get it out to all the families by the end of the week.
I bought a top hat for Michael for Kristen's wedding. It's not what I was expecting. It's a satin hat but around the top of it is all worn out. That to me is not a brand new hat. After emailing the seller she points out if I would have read the entire listing I would have seen that it's a cheap satin and that's what happens. I was pretty pissed. I think I could have gotten a better one for only $10 more. I did go back and look at the listing and at the VERY bottom, after a ton of pictures for other stuff (suits, shoes, etc) and shipping/sizing policies, there it was. Whatever, it's not going to show up in pictures and you cant even see it. I only noticed because I ran my hand over it so it will be fine. I cant believe the wedding is coming up next week! Ugh! I so can NOT get sick! We have to take him for a fitting for his tux Wednesday, haircuts for the boys and rehearsal dinner on Friday and the wedding is Sunday.
Dad took me shopping Wednesday. We havent done that since I was 12 or so. We had a good time. I just about had a heart attack at the amount of money he spent. . .all on me. I offered him money several times but he said no.
Michael is so incredibly noisy! All he did last night was scream, and again this morning. Not for any particular reason. He's just playing and is so loud!
Jacob said bamboo this morning. I started up my laptop and every time I do he points to the screen and says bubbles. I have bubbles as a screensaver and he loves it. I told him it's not bubbles, it's bamboo and he says "oh, bamboo!"
I have a winter coat for Matthew and Jacob. Just need to get one for Michael. They need snow pants too. Michael is going to get Matthew's boots from last year, thankfully he likes them, and I will just get a new pair for Matthew.
Matthew's birthday is coming up in 10 days. I need to figure out what to get him! We're having his party on the 18th since Kristen's wedding is next week. He wants a DS but there's no way that's happening. He wants me to make him a cake that looks like a DS. :/ He wants spaghetti and meatballs for dinner for his party so at least that's cheap and easy.
Bryan's father called the other day. Stupid me answered the phone. I looked at the number and as I'm saying hello I'm thinking this was a bad idea. Sure enough, it was! Bryan talked to him while he played catch with Matthew. Hopefully he doesnt bother to call back again. He didnt really say anything other than what he kept saying at Bryan's sister's funeral except that his family only lives to be 60ish. Great, thanks so much for that!
Michael's teacher is going to drive me crazy! She's asked for help with centers. Originally she asked me for Wednesday and Thursday. I told her Wednesday and Friday would be better but I was doing to be there this Thursday so I'd do that day too. Wednesday I go in and she says she's not doing centers because her class is too wound up. Thursday she tells me she's not doing them because she has meetings all morning. Ok fine. Yesterday after I did spelling tests for Matthew's class I go into her room and she says she's not doing centers because she didnt have anyone signed up! WHAT?! I told her I would be there and another mom that was there doing spelling tests said she'd be there too! Besides that, why would she not be doing centers just because she has nobody signed up? I dont know how she can be so inconsistent!
Jacob's chasing Matthew around the house saying "tickle tickle tickle!" So adorable.
