This week I'll get to watch lil Cooper. My friend Karla went to Las Vegas for her sisters wedding and has left this precious lil guy in the care of some of her friens. I picked him up about 2 hours ago. Then Tracey will pick him up about 10pm & take him home for the nite and tomorrow. Then I will get him back tomorrow evening and keep him the nite and Friday all day till about 8pm.
When I picked Samantha up from school today she was telling me that one of the little girls in her class had her mom bring her new baby brother (9days old) for her show & share today. "So we got to see the baby mom" she said. I said "Well, we are getting a baby at house for awhile, we are going to watch Cooper while his mom is gone." She says to me with just this serious look on her face "well, I am not changing the poopy diaper!" I reassured her that no she didn't have to, I would take care of that. Then she said "yeah, you can change the stinky diaper all day & think of 'me' when I was a baby!" I just laughed...oh, the things she comes up with!
Ron thinks I will get the baby blues. I think I will be fine :)

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 :)

The Birth Test
Ya, just put in your birthdate & "Wallah" I'ld say mine is pretty close!
http://apersonalitytest.com/PTS/PTS-test04.asp?REF=404720
My Birth Number: #9 THE PERFORMER
9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.
Famous 9's Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Carter, Elvis Presley.

They say, this town
The stars stay up all night
Well I don't know, can't see 'em
For the glow of the neon lights
And it's a long way from here
To the place where the home fires burn
Well, it's two thousand miles and one left turn
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well, I don't need much, just enough to get me through
Please don't worry cause I'm alright
See I'm playin' here at the bar tonight
Well, this time I'm gonna make our dreams come true
but, I love you more than anything in the world
Love, your baby girl
Blacktop, blue sky, big town
Full of little white lies, well
Everybody's your friend
You can never be sure
They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings
All sorts of shiny things but
Girl, you'll remember what your knees are for
Dear Mom and Dad, please send money
I'm so broke that it ain't funny
Well, I don't need much, just enough to get me through
Please don't worry cause I'm alright
See I'm playin' here at the bar tonight, well
This time I'm gonna make our dreams come true
but, I love you more than anything in the world
Love, your baby girl
I know that I am on my way
Well, I can tell everytime I play
And I'll know it's worth all the dues I pay
When I can write to you and say
Dear Mom and Dad, I'll send money
I'm so rich that it ain't funny
Well, it ought to be more than enough to get you through
Please don't worry cause I'm alright
See I'm stayin' here at the Ritz tonight
Whatta ya know, we made our dreams come true
And there are fancy cars and diamond rings
But you know that they don't mean a thing
Well, they all add up to nothin' compared to you
Well, remember me in ribbons and curls
I still love you more than anything in the world
Love, your baby girl, ah yeah
Your baby girl
Your baby girl
Dreams come true
