Exhausted

I'm not sure what's going on today.  But I am exhausted.  I was ready for bed at 7:30pm.  I attended a Thanksgiving event at my daughter's school today.  It was fun.  My 3 year old twins loved it because they were allowed to participate.  They also released a lot of energy, making naptime much easier.  I guess mommy should have napped too. 
After school we did a little shopping.  Of course, anyone who has kids knows that a simple shopping trip turns into a major ordeal when you have 3 kids under 8 years old with you.  That could possibly be the reason so tired this evening. 
On a positive note, my twins have slept this entire week all night long with no pullups!  There has only been one bed wetting incident.  I am so proud of them.  They potty trained as soon as they turned 3 years old.  But with them only being 3 months shy of being 4 years old, it has taken them this long to accomplish the sleeping through the night without wetting the bed part of potty training.  But alas, they haved conquered it.  Good job baby boys! 

Getting ready for Thanksgiving

I know I should be preparing for the Thanksgiving holidays.  This time would be best utilized if I started cleaning.  My house needs a thorough cleaning before friends and family come in for the holidays.  Instead I'm sitting at my desk blogging and watching 90210.  Yes, I watch the teen show!  I have a 20 year old daughter.  I try to watch shows that she watches in order to keep up.  It gives us things to talk about that she finds interesting.  Plus, I get to keep up with the things she's in to and enjoys.  I've always watched the shows she watches.  It started as a way to make sure they were appropriate.  Then I realized there were more benefits. 
I want to discuss adult acne today.  Since I turned 30 I've had more acne than I've ever had.  My teenage years were never this bad.  It's horribly disappointing.  I've tried every over the counter product I can find.  I've been told it's probably due to hormones.  Someone please send me suggestions, ideas, tips... anything helpful! 
Did anyone else notice the price of Christmas cards that you make online yourself have gone up this year?  I was making my Christmas cards on a website the other day and when I went to check out I was a stunned.  Last year I got more cards for less money.  That caught me by surprise. 
I've almost finished my christmas shopping.  I've used Kmart layaway online and ebay!  No lines, no waiting.  Great shopping experience so far.  I'm hoping to go to Canton, Tx in December to do a little shopping.  I've never been.  But I'm told it's awesome. 
More later!

tv time

Somehow I've managed to get in a little tv time today.  I'm watching an older movie called Monsters Ball.  It's not over yet.  So I can't comment on the whole movie.  But so far, wow, sad! 
My twins are actually being pretty good today.  As long as you don't count one of them throwing a toy and breaking my daughters window.  On a normal day it's a bunch of that type of activity around here.  So for it to be almost noon and that's all the excitement I've had.  GOOD DAY!  Of course, it is Friday.  It's hard to mess up Friday! 
I found out today that a girl I know from high school is a workout instructor.  That explains her smokin hot body.  I wish I had the drive and determination to just take a walk everyday.  I know I need to.  But still, I don't do it. 
I want to write a book.  Acutally, I have wrote a book, or two.  But I want them to be successful.  I realize that is the dream of many people out there.  I can dream too can't I? 
One last thing, I got a new cellphone.  It's called the Epic by Samsung.  Seriously, it rocks!  I love it. 

fighting again

I'm sitting here listening to my twins fighting again.  They are only toddlers.  They fight as much as they get along.  It drives me nuts.  Ideas?  Pointers?  Tips?

Odds and Ends

Well apparently I'm not a very good vet.  Our Lola passed away.  It's now suspected it was parvo.  None of the other dogs are sick.  Of course, none of the other dogs are puppies either. 

On to another note:  Does anyone else have a difficult child in the mornings?  My 7yr old daughter is in the 2nd grade.  However, every morning she is crabby and acts as if this is her first time to get ready for school.  Some days I just want to scream! 

How was everyone's Halloween?  Ours was great.  I love seeing the kids get so excited about dressing up and trick or treating.  They really do have a lot of fun.  It's also a plus that mommy gets her chocolate fix and doesn't feel so guilty about it! 

I woke up at 3:30am and couldn't go back to sleep.  I tried desperately to use the layaway system on kmart.com.  But everytime I would have about 3 items in my cart, it would delete the cart and I would have to start over.  So I guess I'll just have to drive the hour to kmart.  Blah.

It's now 7:08am.  I'm having coffee trying to wake up.  Having got up so early, I'm now ready for a nap.  Oh well, we all know that will never happen. 

Have a great day.
