Hi.

Its been a while since Ive been here. Ive been a tad busy.

It seems that Im always too busy to blog. I am, I cant help it.

Eric, Jessica and I have been working on the baby shower. Eric thinks this is the biggest thing thats happened to this town in a while. Its the 'social event of the year' is what he keeps telling me.

The RSVP's have come in. Most of the people we had to call for one reason or another, but the official count as it stands is 73 people. HolY ShiT!

This week I will be going over my list about 10 times a day knowing Im forgetting something important.

I keep telling myself that as long as there is enough food, the women will be happy. Right?

*sigh*

What else is going on? Besides this shower, not much of anything.

My son and his girlfriend broke up....again. This time I think he will listen to the mama and stay broken up. For the second time, he found out she cheated on him. Hes a mess, but he will be ok. He has already moved on to the next girl. An old girlfriend. I liked her. Who knows whats going to happen. Right now, they are just friends.

My daughter is going to give birth within a month. The ultrasound she had last week proved that this child has a big head. That freaked her out a little bit, but shes ok now. She has to get another ultra sound in 2 weeks to see how much hes grown. We went to the ultra sound to see our little man and I told the nurse I wanted a face shot. She laughed at me telling me that its almost impossible this far in the pregnancy to see his face. WELL, guess what I got? A face shot. I told the nurse that the baby and I have been talking and he was going to cooperate with me. Im going to be his favorite Grandma, I think.

I dont speak much of my younger two kids. They are boring...lol. They lead pretty uneventful lives and are quiet and reserved. I like that. No drama. No issues. No problems. Simple!

They are both happy and healthy, for the most part. My youngest has been sick as of late. She has this cold that just wont go away. Her perfect attendance for the year may have been scarred by coming home early one day due to a fever. We are hoping they over look that. And no, I didnt send her to school with a fever. She was cool as a cucumber when she left.

The weather is starting to act like Spring. Last count there were 31 days left until Spring. Right now, its sunny and pleasant. Its cold, but not windy like winter. Thank God! Im ready for this shit to be done with already. We have a little snow on the ground, but nothing to complain about. My dog can poop anywhere she wants to now without tippy-toeing through the snow.

Eric is doing good. He and I are doing good. Ok...better than good. We are great. He is the most amazing boyfriend, fiance person I could ever wish to have. Hes amazing. Simple. I love him! I love you, Eric.

Valentines Day was good. I told Eric not to buy me anything, but he did anyway. Booger. I had to work and of course, it was busy. We had a great day. Watched a race and just relaxed. I made dinner on Sunday for everyone, because I could. Happy V-Day everyone.

Race season has officially started. What a shitty race it was! They called the race with 47 or so laps to go because of rain. Bullshit. Dale took out 1/2 the field because Brian Vickers tried to block him. Kyle Busch wrecked...YAY! Jimmy Johnson had a sour day...heh! In talking to my NASCAR peeps, it was the worst race we have seen in a long time...especially for the 500! I can only imagine what the rest of the season will bring. New rules, new drivers and I work every Sunday. Oh well. Thank God for antiques like VCR's.

My next countdown, after the baby and spring, of course, will be the countdown to Joliet. Eric is going to enjoy a race weekend with me and my friends. I will end up giving him a kiss on Thursday and telling him I will see him on Sunday. He will enjoy the company and the food. Im not sure hes going to enjoy the crowd or the race or the heat or the sun or the noise or the fact that Dale Jr is there and I wanna see him. I get excited just thinking about it. More to come in the near future about the race.

My baby girl just told me we need to get interfacing. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?? I think it means I have to take her to the fabric store and let her get what she needs.

I will drop a few lines in a week or so. Im sure by then I will have something exciting to say.

Peace Out...
