Trying to Update my blog! argh (insert publish blog now)

HOla!
Hmmmm...let's see????

Our get together last weekend with our friends went really well. My friend Karla asked me if I could try to make some announcemnts for her new baby. So, we played around on the computer for the afternoon & this is what we came up with.






Well, last week when I went to pick Samantha up at school, I slipped on the ice...fell right on butt with my ankle underneath me (and I'm no skinnie minnie, so that hurt!) right into a mud puddle & I had just washed my coat so of course I got to take it all apart & wash it again.
So then last week was spring break I thought I would get scrappin done...WRONG! All my grand plans went awry. First my mom decided it would be a good idea for us to go visit my brother. So me, Samantha & my mom hit the road. He lives almost 4 hours away. Can we say bad idea????? My mother complained the whole way there & the whole way back.....my car's uncomfortable (yet, she wouldn't even try adjusting her seat...no of course not...then you can't complain all day!!!argh!), too cold, too hot, "are we even going to make it there (cuz the car made a slight noise)," we're too poky, complained about the music....just everything. But the hightlight was I got to spend time with my brother which I always enjoy. Samantha really loves her Uncle Trevor & Auntie B and she enjoys any time that she gets to spend with them. My brother, sister and I are all really close as far as being siblings go. WE would & have done anything for each other. Despite the fact, that I wonder how we ever managed to grow up without killing each other! Here is a picture of us as kiddos. Me on the left my sister on the right & baby brother in the middle.
We don't have many pictures together so I cherish the ones we do have. I was looking for a cute one I thought I had of the 3 of us in our lil swimmers. But I can't find it.

Ok on with my weekly story! lol
friday, Samantha and I spent waaaay too much time at the mall doing nothing really. altho, I did get her a cute little shelf thing with baskets for her room at Target.
Saturday morning I am sitting at the computer. I go to stretch & totally wrench my back. Major PAIN!!!! So, I take lots of ibuprofen, tylenol & asprin to help ease the pain. I thought maybe if I attempted to keep moving it would work it self out so after a hot shower, Samantha & I head out to meet my aunt for lunch. By tghe time I headed home, I was in so much pain I thought I was literally pass out driving. Finally, call the doctors office at about 4:30. Not only do they treat me like some junkie off the street they tell me if I'm going to come in today to do it before 5 but basically they can't do anything for me anyway because they are not allowed to give out pain meds. Which I understand....to a point! It's so stupid. Needless to say, I didn't go running on in there. Well I try the ice which semi works enough for me to take a nap but as soon as the "numb" wears off, it's back to pain. So, about 11:20pm I make a last chance trip to Wal-Mart to get a heating pad. I'm in pain if I move or sit still so figure I might as well try the heating pad. Which didn't work either. But it's slowly getting better. Some times it doesn't hurt at all & then the next minute it's throbbing. But I think for the most part today it's much better. Afterall, it is Wednesday :)
Yesterday my Aunt Suzie came to scap with me. Well, we got a late start so I didn't finish my page I was working on. But I enjoyed the chit chat, I like it when we get together. Also yesterday, I forgot Samantha's teachers b-day....mega OOOPSSS!! I felt so bad. Guess she will be getting one heck of a "end of the year" present! lol...well, if I remember.....
So which leads me to Girl Scout Dilemma to top it all off. We drive to Girls Scouts last nite & there wasn't a meeting (this was the second time I've done it!) Which I will admit, I am forgetful....I know I am. But when we signed up in January they told me it was every other Tues nite, with only week there being an exception & it would be on Monday nite. so I get home & look at the schedule which is not a normal schedule (ya, know the kind that looks like a calendar???) it's hand written with days written out & who brings snack and doodles all over it...very confusing. The last meeting was Feb 21, the next meeting is March 21.....that is NOT every other Tues. Then at the last meeting Samantha left her bag with her petals in it at the school where we have the meeting. I went back the next morning not there. and no one turned it in. So now I'll have to buy another pack cuz we're missing 2 or 3 petals. Why do people have to be like that???? even kids, I mean come on! And all this wouldn't be such a trauma in my life it weren't for the upset 6 year old. Oh well, what can one do?!?!?!?!?
And an hour later I'm done. Because I had to keep saving as I went along afraid the computer would freeze up on me any minute & of course when I'm expecting it, it doesn't do it! lol
And that's my update :)
