Hang Over From Hell...

I feel like death !! I know I joked about last night being a drunken debauchery, but it was so much more than I thought it would be. We went to Red River with some of our closest friends and had a blast!! I was very upset come 2 a.m ( because I wasn't ready for the bar to close LOL ), so we brought the party home. We went to bed at ( are you ready for this??? )..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 5:30 in the morning !! I woke up at 9:30 this morning and have been struggling ever since. I think I am going to fall over soon. I would explain everything that happened last night, but that it between us and the people who were there !! However, here are some pictures from last night !! Here is who went : Me, Chris, Dennis, Ashley and Josh, Ashley and her friend Stacey I believe, Lacie, Todd, Tim, ( and a few others I think ). The pictures are all mixed up and out of order. Sorry !




This hat rotated among us girls !!
Lacie and her tongue !!
This was us driving home from the bar. Yes, we had a designated driver.
Oops !! We were showing our "surpised " faces !! Sash, you need a tan girl !!
Why must drunk people insist on sticking their tongues out?
This was probably around 4:00 a.m or so !! Still drinking !!
New friends.. Lacie meet Kort.
Get that damn thing away from me !!

We think we are sexy after 5 shots and 10 drinks !!
BFFE Love !!
Why oh why did I do this??? Wine at 3:00 a.m? Not a good idea !!
Rock on !!!
This was around 5:00 in the morning or so. I can't believe we were still going !

Lacie and Dennis chilling with the booze.
Dennis getting love from the girls !!
This was the empty glasses from the "Last Call" order
Yep, we are some sexy bitches.....

Hmmmm, more "sexy bitches !"

My BFFE. I love you Sash !!
What was I doing here??

AWWW !! Aren't we cute??

This picture was taken towards the beginning of the night.
I love my girls !!
Again, at the beginning of the night when we were all sober.

Shortest, to tallest !!!

Anyway, that was our night. It is 7:00 right now and I plan on going to sleep in the next 2 hrs. I need to recover !!

A Quickie....

Ewwww people !! Get your mind out of the gutters !! I meant a quick post. Okay, my boss will be here any minute so I have to make this quick. My eye is not any better today :( Well, I shouldn't say that. It doesn't throb anymore. It is just really red. What am I going to do tomorrow night?? I mean, if it doesn't clear up then the doctor won't give me contacts. Plus, I do not want to wear glasses to a bar !! That is an accident waiting to happen.

Oh, I will have some cool news to post on my blog next week. I won't post it now b/c there could be repercussions of posting this news before it has actually happened. So, for now just be on the look-out for it !!

I am sooooo ready for tomorrow night. I am going to go get Chri's b-day present today at lunch. Yes, I am getting him that stupid reel. That is what makes him happy so I guess I will get it. For my b-day he got me a new charm bracelet ( loved these as a little girl, but it means so much more when you build one as an adult !! ) , a photography backpack ( boring to him I am sure !! ), and gift certificates to my favorite stores. I will be the good wife and return the favor !! LOL

I will post more later. The boss lady just walked in !!

Finally....

I can finally get to the computer !! Okay, so here has been the run down of my day...

1. Wake up and realize that my left eye is matted shut and won't open... WONDERFUL !! So, I get up, look in the mirror and realize that I have a massive eye infection. The only good point is that it is not pink eye. You see, I am really bad about sleeping in my contacts so it is no surprise that I got this infection. Here is the kicker. I cannot find my old glasses and I have NO contacts left. I can't take the contact out of my eye b/c then I will be blind as a bat. Therefore I go to work and leave it in.

2. I get to work and start getting prepared to train the new lady. ( the one going into accounting to replace me ). My eye is throbbing by this point. She comes in and I realize that these next few days are going to be HORRIBLE. I am not good at training people. I just assume that they should know things. Okay... if you have been doing accounts payable for the past 15 years ( this lady has supposedly ) then you should know the difference between a cost code and a general ledger. I won't go into details, but this lady has a long road in front on her.

3. At 9:30 I leave work and head to memorial city mall so that I can get my eyes examined and hopefully get some new contacts or glasses.

4. At 11:00 I am STILL sitting at Eye Masters waiting to be seen. GRRRRRRRRR !!! When the doctor finally examined my eyes he lectured me about my eyes and said that he is not going to fit me with contacts until Friday. That is great, but how was I going to see?? Sooo off to pick out frames I go !!!

5. At 1:00 I get my glasses and head back to work. Lets add this up... I have lost 3.5 hrs of work time ( did I mention I was supposed to be training the "lady without a clue "? ).

6. I get back to work at 1:30 and start the training process again. The sales/marketing director makes it well known that I will be in marketing full time starting Monday. ( This is fine with me b/c I am sooo sick of accounting !! ) The controller wasn't too happy about it so I had to play mediator between these two "adults ".

7. At 5:00 I finally called it quits and headed out.

8 . 6:00, I get home and find out the cats are out of food and they are yelling at me !! I am not kidding. All three cats sit on the tile floor and meow at the tops of their kitty lungs.

9. 8:00, the kids are upstairs and ready for bed, however I am tooooo tired to get up there. Chris is sleeping on the couch right now. Guess someone is about to get woken up so he can put the kids to bed !!

By the way, my new glasses are really cute. I think they fit my personality. When I have on make-up and everything I will take a picture ( not today that is for sure !! ) I am sure I have bored you to tears, but hell, it is my blog. If you don't like it then don't read it !! HA !!

Good night. Time to shower up and get to sleep !!

Nighty Night !!

crap crap crap...

Excuse the language, but I am seriously freaking out here !! Chris's b-day is on Friday and I have no clue what to give him. Okay, so he was given we some hints, but come on people, how fun is it to buy a saltwater fishing reel? I am sure I will end up giving in and getting him one ( however, he is NOT getting the 280.00 one that he has his eye on !! ) Why do men like such "manly" stuff? Girls/women are SOOOO much easier to shop for. Buy them a purse, spa gift certificate, or some jewelry and they are happy as a lark. If only things were that simple with men.

There is a big group of us going out on Friday night. I am thinking Big Texas or something like that. Wherever we go we are sure to have a night of fun. Even though we are getting up there in age ( ack, quickly approaching 3o !! ) , I am happy to say that I can drink most 22 and 23 year olds under the table. ( However, this is not open for betting or discussion come Friday night. I am merely making a point here !! ) I am hoping that I can get my hands on a regular point and shoot camera for that night. I REFUSE to bring my good one.

Okay, back to the b-day thing.
Here is Chris's wish list
1. Saltwater fishing reel ( BORING !!! )
2. Waders ( those horrendous pants/suspender thingies that men wear while duck hunting or fly fishing !! )
3. A new tackle box ( Again boring, but no matter what I get I will get the WRONG one !!)

Here is what he truly "needs"

1. A lawn service to come pull all the weeds in the flower garden, b/c we are never home, nor do we want to do it ourselves
2. A 300$ gift certificate to HOme Depot so he can finish the "shed" ( aka, the open doghouse with a roof right now ) that he started back in January !!
3. A cleaning crew to come in and clean the house and do all the laundry ( whoops, that is for me, but he will benefit from it too right?? )

Anyway, any ideas are appreciated. I have run out of them all.

Random thought by Jill...

So as everyone knows Ryan plays baseball ( duh I know !! ) Anyway, the Storm ( the team he has always been on in the past ) and the Cubs ( the team that he sometimes subs for, tried out for their select team, goes to their practices, etc.. ) have to play eachother during the summer season. The game has been rained out twice already and there is a 50% chance of rain today. ( game is tonight) I have a feeling this game wasn't meant to be. We are tired of all this rain cancelling game after game after game. If it is raining this much now, I wonder what the winter will be like?? Am I the only one looking forward to jeans and sweaters ? It reminds me of Christmas time, my FAVORITE time of year. The funny thing is that I HATE to decorate the house. I want the tree to put itself up. I hate wrapping presents, etc.. etc.. However, I LOVE the time of year. I think I need to add a ticker to my blog... X amount of days until Christmas. What do you think?
So, what do your kids want for x-mas this year? I am boycotting small toys !! The kids ONLY play with their electronic things and Webkinz. ( Oh Shelly, I gave the kids the husky ( to Rae) and the raccoon ( to Ry) yesterday !! ) . That being said, here is our tentative list
Ryan-
1. Either a wii or a Game Boy DX ( he IS NOT getting both ) and games for whichever
2. A Hitting net for baseball ( a certain style that we do not have right now )
3. A custom Craig Biggio framed layout for his room
4. Baseball hats and more baseball hats ( we are doing one wall that is full of wooded pegs and we are trying to fill it up w/ as many different team hats as possible !! )
5. Puzzles- Ryan is into the big big puzzles now
6. Skateboard

Reagan-
1. T.V. for her room. We have been blowing this off for two years now. Her and Ryan fight over what they are going to watch all the time. Therefore, it is time to get her one.
2. Game for her leapster. She loves her leapster, so she definitely needs some more games.
3. "MAYBE" a new bike. Her other one is getting too small. She has had it since she turned 3 and she is quickly getting too tall for it.
4. A few odds and ends. Like we said no small toys.

We normally go overboaard for x-mas and that is not going to happen this year. I am going to start shopping NOW for x-mas so that I am done come December.

Wow, I really got off topic huh? Tonight is Chris's softball night. That place is fun, but the kids get all cracked out on candy and it is nearly close to impossible to get them to sleep. ( That and we don't get home until after 10:30 ). Oh, you know how I mentioned Kody being there last week? Well, Rae asked me if he was going to be there this week. So, I explained that he was going to be with his Mommy this week, and NO she wouldn't be there with Kody. Okay, so Ryan starts asking me about Kody's brother and telling me he misses playing with him. I explained that he had to live with his Mommy and that Mr. Dennis doesn't bring him b/c he isn't Christian's real Daddy. Oh My, I ended up having an hour long conversation with a six year old about divorce, what happens in divorce, etc.. etc... I think Ryan was royally confused, but what else was I going to tell him? If I give them simple answers ( i.e. NO and YES ) they just give me the , " Hey, you idiot look " and keep asking "why" until they are thoroughly satisfied. Of course I kept it on a six year old level and left out any talks of fighting and other mature matter. I just explained that they decided to live in different houses and that Kody has to take turns living at the houses. Where is Dr.Phil when you need him?

Anyway, my boss is about to walk in and I have a full day ahead of me. I hope everyone has a great day !!

I guess it's not Friday yet...

I think Monday's are the most dreaded thing of the working population. When I was a stay at home mom I loved Mondays !! That meant Chris went back to work and the kids and I could get back to our nomal schedule. How I miss the good ole' days. No wonder I drink more now than I used to, which brings me to my little story I forgot to share from yesterday.

Okay, so when Chris was at the grocery store I get a call. Okay, actually he called me no less than seven times while he was at the store. How can a grown man ( who is quite capable of making grown up decisions ) who has a LIST still manage to call seven times and ask questions about grocery shopping? Shoot, when I go grocery shopping I leave the kids with DH, take my list and SLOWLY stroll up and down the aisles. Sometimes I leave my phone at home intentionally so that I don't get phonecalls. Anyway, back to the point... So I am sitting there on the couch and my phone rings. It is Chris. He proceeds to ask me, " What kind of wine do you drink" , so I tell him which kind I prefer. I am not going to divulge the "brand " of wine I drink, but lets just call it cheap !! I have tried the expensive stuff and I will stick to my cheap wine. Why you might ask? Because if I drink the expensive stuff all I can drink is one glass. If I have more than that I will get a little toasty. Well, if you have ever witnessed bedtime in my family you will know it takes Rae more than one glass of wine to fall asleep. The bedtime process with her is at least a two glass process. Hence, the cheap wine !! Crap, I am off subject again. Anyhoo, so Chris calls and asks me this question. I ask him why are you asking me? He proceeds to tell me that he noticed that I was almost out of all my wine and that he has to "take care " of his wifey and keep her stocked up on wine. Okay, so he will buy me booze, but doesn't get anything else at the grocery store I will eat. I think he might have ulterior motives !! What do you think? I had to go BACK to the store last night to get some of "my" snacks for the week. Then I made a grilled chicken salad for dinner and proceeded to drink my two glasses of wine while Rae screamed at the top of her lungs in her bedroom that she was "NEVER GOING TO SLEEP EVER !!! " and that her "EYES AREN'T TIRED" and she " WILL NOT SHUT THEM !! " ( those are her exact words ). Now you can see why I drink and Chris keeps me stocked !!

I was right...

Chris came home from the grocery store with some of the most random stuff. Okay, he got four little containers of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. That is fine, but why does he need so much? Plus, I won't eat that !! Plus he got a 1/2 gallon of Regular Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip. AGain, it is full fat and I won't eat it !! He got regular syrup instead of sugar-free. He got regular cheese instead of 2%. He got RED juice boxes, ummmmm.... guess he forgot that his daughter is allergic to the red dye in those !! He got NOTHING for me to snack on. Special K bars, granola bars, baked Lays...NOTHING !!!

So, today's lesson is that no matter how much I detest going to the grocery store, I need to go anyway b/c Chris sucks at doing it. Plus he spent about 80.00 more than what I usually spend? I am still waiting to see the receipt so I can figure out what he got !!

Nope, I refuse to...

Go to the grocery store that is !! I refuse to. Everybody and their mother goes to the grocery store on Sunday and I just can't deal with going. So, I made a list and sent Chris. Who knows what he will come home with? I sent him to HEB so he would hopefully stay in the budget.

All of Ryan's games got rained out so we are "chillin" today. I can't even do laundry yet b/c I am out of detergent.

Okay, so we went to the beach Friday night and stayed there all day yesterday. We had a blast. Resa and I were hoping for sun and got overcast. I guess it is better than rain. It did keep the kind from getting burned.

Here are the pictures from the beach.

Anyway, after we got back we said our goodbye's to Chris's brother. He was here for a couple of weeks. The kids LOVE him and he was over at our house quite a bit this time !! Chris and I decided that we wanted some mexican food, so we made call ahead reservations and went to Gringo's.

Okay, well I need to finish this post up. Like I said, Chris is at the grocery store and wanted me to sort laundry while he was gone. Ummm, I haven't quite started that yet, so it is time to get hustling.

The kids looked thrilled don't they??
