Stupid Gym PDF Print E-mail

Wednesday, 18 June 2008

Sorry for the lack of updates recently but I have a nice little rant about why I haven't written much lately.

The middle of April I started going to the gym.  A bonus of this gym where we have our membership is that they have free child care.  Well, this “free” child care has now cost us, since April 17, four co-pays to see doctors and at least four rounds of antibiotics (2 for Damion, one for each kid).  It also costs me personally at least one to one and a half weeks away from the gym each round of sickness to take care of everybody.

Before this last round we (fyi - "we" is the kids and I) were last at the gym the middle of May.  Both kids and Damion ended up with cold like probs.  Damion saw the doctor and was told another sinus infection.  Since we had Memorial Day weekend plans, we didn’t return to the gym when all were better because I didn’t want to risk the kids being sick that weekend.

He Did It!!!! PDF Print E-mail

*** UPDATE! ****
Hi, it's Damion... just letting you all know that I'm actually on Day 2!  Yesterday (May 28th) was my first day, and today is the 2nd.
********************

A couple of weeks ago Damion posted about converting his mountain bike into a city bike so he could bike to work.  Today he did it.  He rode his bike to work. 

Okay, I hear you guys wondering why didn't he do it last week.  Well, he and I were sick (the kids were sick the week before) and last week he had just enough energy to drive himself to and from work and play with the kids a bit before calling it a day. 

So what I'm trying to say is, yea Damion on day one!

It is currently 11:30 pm on Monday evening and I am happy to report that after our journey around northern IL we successfully made it home from our travels.

We left our place Friday evening and the kids slept most of the drive to my brother Joe's house.

Anti Poker Night at the Apollo.....aka My House PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jessica   
Wednesday, 26 March 2008

In case you don't read comments (shame on you!) you have missed out on a suggestion, and two seconds on that thought, regarding a scrapbook night each month.  The thought, as I stated, was two poker nights equal one mom's night out plus a scrapbook night.....trust me, the math works, its married math we're doing with here, which is actually a lot easier to follow than pregnant math Smile

So, my question to the public that would be willing/wanting to attend, is there a particular day that works better than another for everybody?  I figured if I make it a posting versus an email, all you closet scrapbookers will respond and not be left out.

Also, I did try to upload some pictures of the kids tonight, but there was a slight issue and unfortunately my site administrator is in AZ with a two hour time difference and didn't get my IM about the problem because he was at dinner.  He said he'd try to look at it tonight so maybe, just maybe, tomorrow night you'll be blessed with pictures of our children....off to watch the season finale of Battlestar Galactica season 3 before the new season starts next week.

Office Shed - Jess' Response PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jessica   
Saturday, 01 March 2008

Yes, as he stated Damion has been talking about an office shed since about a month after we moved into this house.  A couple of weeks ago we drove by Lowe’s and I commented about the sheds there.  Damion stated that the only problem with them already being assembled is getting them into the backyard, unless of course you rent a crane.  A couple of seconds later my response is verbalized. 

I said, “What you need to do is contact one of the crane operators working in Uptown.  Have the shed delivered there and attached to the crane.  The crane operator will then lift it up and swing it around in a circle and at just the right time he will release it and it will land in our backyard!”  And of course it is complete with a cute look.  Damion’s only response, “Is it fun to be you?”  I laugh and state, “Most days, yes.” 

Most importantly though, I think it should be noted that I am not opposed to the Office Shed idea…..maybe there is a bit of selfishness (I get the office/craft room all to myself and guests will have a place to stay where Sam won’t jump through the rails on to them) but I still support this idea 100%.
