Happy Birthday to Me

Not exactly celebrating turning 37, but hey, that is the reality of the situation. Guess I should be thankful I've made it this far. I have a terrific family and really, when I get right down to it, a pretty terrific life. ;)

Happy Birthday to Me!

Viva Las Vegas, Baby!

Woo Hoo! It'll be a whirlwind trip, but I got my vacation approved at the last minute. The kids and I are going to head out to Vegas tomorrow to hang out with Steve for 1-1/2 days. He's been raving about getting to stay at Ceasar's (one of my favorite places in Vegas). He talked up the pool for the kids. I guess it is one of the benefits of his working for an airline. We may as well take advantage of it and the free room. I'm not particularly thrilled about the seedier things the kids might see in Vegas, but overall, I think we can keep them from noticing most of it. And they are excited to go, as well.

Wish us luck getting on the plane!! Off to pack.

Adventure Club

When the kids are off-track from school, they go to Adventure Club. Or Clark used to. Now that Shea is in school, as well, she started Adventure Club for the first time yesterday. Miss Susan said today that she has done very well. Going with the flow, blending in, everything has been a non-issue. It's always nice to know when your kids are easy-going and nice to get along with!

I think we're all adjusting (finally) to our special schedule this week with the kids going to Adventure Club and not school. Plus, Steve is in a conference in Vegas (note to any stalkers out there), so the three of us have had lots of bonding time, especially since they love to sleep with me in our big king-size bed.

Tonight we have a Den Meeting, although I'm feeling rather tired and my head is still stuffy from whatever it is I have. Can't tell if I'm suffering from allergies or a cold. Whatever the case I'm rather loopy from Sudafed and exhausted to boot. Here's hoping the boys won't get too crazy at the Den Meeting. Luckily I'm not hosting this month.

In knitting news I decided I couldn't deal with the mismatched stripes on the socks. I probably wouldn't have minded so much if I was knitting them for myself, but I'd like them to be a gift. I think they'd go over much better with matching stripes. At least I finally figured out how I had to mate up the pattern with my split skein. I rewound both of my mini-skeins by starting one from the middle and one from the outside. I'm also hoping it will remove the irritating twist that has occurred with one of them. Unfortunately, by starting over it's going to take me 3 times as long to complete, since I seem to have lost my knitting speed and desire. However, it will be worth it in the end because everything will match and my anal-retentive self will be all the happier.

Happy Birthday, Luan!

Well, my sister's birthday is today. Won't say how old she is but she is 2 years younger than I. Lucky her! Since my birthday is coming up in a few short days, I'm not looking forward to it like I used to. :sigh: :big sigh:

In any case I hope she had a terrific one! :D

You're the best, Luan! I love you!
