A 1st & A Last

Last night our great friends & neighbors called us at about 8 pm asking if Trent & I wanted to go get sushi with them. At first this sounded totally spontaneous and something I had never done before. After a REALLY bad week I was totally up to it. We ordered 3 different kinds of sushi : Las Vegas Roll, Mars, & Rainbow. Those 3 names alone should have been my first clue that I wasn't going to like it, but I had to try...and I did. Trent forced me to take a taste of the wusabi which just about blew me away. If you have never tried that stuff...stay away. To say the least I did not enjoy my sushi experience. I don't think I could ever talk myself into trying it again. I do have to say that the company was awesome and I have really been enjoying hanging out with our new best friends.

FYI

My kids all nagged me to death until I set them up with their own blogs. Now I know what you are thinking...WHY? And I apologize in advance to any of you(mostly relatives) who may get strange comments on your blogs from time to time. A couple of good things may or may not come of this. 1. They will get bored of the whole thing and move on soon. 2. I will get to read the deep thoughts of my 4 older children. Who knows, maybe we will start something. In the meantime I hope this doesn't ruin any ones blogging mojo.

6 going on 16

Yesterday I made Blythe (6) change her shoes before I walked her to the bus stop. She was wearing a pair of shoes that were way to big for her and had no back on them, which is against school rules. She liked them though, because they were new and they had a bit of a heal on them and I think she felt grown-up in them. But when she walked in them she looked ridiculous. Today when I was cleaning out her backpack, from school yesterday, I found tucked inside her backpack the pair of shoes I had sent her to school in. That little stinker went to school and then changed her shoes when she got there. That's something I did in HIGH SCHOOL!! What the heck! I guess I have to start checking her back pack BEFORE she goes to school. The scary thing is I know this is just a taste of what is to come with this little darling. Thanks for keeping me on my toes Blythe. Someone must have known what they were doing when they only sent me 1 girl.

Dentist,Concert, & Food Poisoning

Last week was actually another great week, with the exception of the food poisoning I got Saturday night at McGrath's Fish House. What sucked the most about that whole deal was the $95 we spent taking out a business associate and his wife who are not the greatest company to say the least. So the food was bad, the company was bad, we spent a lot, and then I was sick ALL night.

So back to my good week...Monday the kids were out of school so we got the house clean and then went to the $1 theater for some Veggie Tales with popcorn, soda & candy +++Mom Points. Tuesday I took Blythe & Tucker to the pool for the first time in months. They had a really good time and I enjoyed visiting with a couple of friends. There was hardly anyone there and again +++ Mom Points. Later that day I went to my new Dentist who I really like and had a cleaning and check up. Can you say "NO CAVITIES"? I was really happy and I got a free T-Shirt. I'm now in the Tuffy Tooth Club! Thursday I went to Micah's Cub Scouts to learn how to make Won Tons for their Blue & Gold this Friday, +++Mom Points.

I finished all my V.T. for the month, took a family dinner, went to lunch at Cafe Rio with a good friend, watched a ton of American Idol, had a yummy brunch/chat with my Fantastic V.T., went to a awesome concert with Trent, and enjoyed some semi decent weather.

Now just a few comments on the concert. I love Peter Breinholt and I got an email about a concert he was doing at UVSC. Trent was so sweet and offered to go with me. What sealed the deal for me was that Sam Payne was opening for him. He is so good and I absolutely enjoyed the entire concert. It was a small venue and almost entirely unplugged. It was just one of those "Feel Good" concerts. I also picked up Sam Payne's new CD that won't even be out till April, $5 what a deal. (He says Hi, Sherod.)

We watched "The Secret" last night and I'm definitely going to keep this positive thinking going. Brigg taped a piece of paper to our ceiling that says $1,000,000. Big thinker huh?

SPELL CHECK WORKS AGAIN!!!! (The Secret works.)

I forgot to mention something BIG... I repaired our Dishwasher last week all on my own. As you can tell I am still very proud of myself.

Flashback Friday

My kids were watching this video on YouTube this morning and I had a total flashback to the 80's and Weird Al's "Eat It". We loved this guy when we were kids and now my kids are watching him on YouTube. You have to watch this video because there is a hilarious cameo appearence. My kids can't believe that I knew who Weird Al was, because I was born in the Dark Ages and all.
