Better out than in

So I made it a whole month of blogging. I am sort impressed. Not that I had the most exciting things to say most days, but none the less, I found something to say. Blogging will continue, but certainly not daily. Kids are back to school tomorrow. I am so sad :( I hate school, it takes my kids. Only two weeks though, then they are off for two weeks, so that's cool. Then before you know it, it will be summer time again. Today we went to see BOLT, it was cute. Well I should say The little boys and Daniel and I went to see BOLT with my dear friend Angie, and her little boys. The older kids went to see TWILIGHT. Connor even liked it. Well his choices were BOLT and TWILIGHT, so it's not like he really had a lot of 7th grade boy friendly choices. He said it was a good movie though. Not good enough to actually READ the book, but good none the less. So adieu November. December is already winding up to be horrendously busy, but HERE WE GO!! :)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... (Except for the weather, but ya know) I note this due to the frantic holiday shoppers, the blaring Christmas music wafting through stores, Santa, ho ho hoing, from his mall igloo, the salvation army bell ringers. Yes yes, signs of Christmas are everywhere. Even though we will not be home on Christmas day this year, my kids REALLY REALLY wanted to decorate for Christmas. So I decide we would decorate a little bit anyway. I am not quite there yet, but we did get "ye ol' Christmas tree" up. :) We will put some decorations on it tomorrow.. ok VERY few decorations on it tomorrow.. but hey even "Charlie Brown" Christmas trees need some lovin. :)

Time to get up at 4:00 a.m. Wait in line for an hour fight the crowds the wait in line two hours to check out all in the name of deals... NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW So I got up bright and early this morning at the crack of 8:00, laid in bed for about 30 minutes, then threw myself together, went and got Angie. Then we were off to.. JoAnns We got some AWESOME flannel for 1.49$ a yard. Then it was off to the movies, we saw Twilight for the second time with the lovely Emmy. Somewhere along the way I picked up a screw in my tire so we went to get it fixed and Angie and I wandered around Target while my tire was repaired. It was amazingly not at all crowded. On the way home we picked up some worms for Archie and then came home. I made lasagna, took one over to Emmy's family, and got to get all glassy eyed at the most amazing lovely sweetest baby in the world. Now we are chilling, kids watching a movie. All in all a very low key, non crowded, lackadaisical "Black Friday".

Hope this turkey day found you all fat and happy.. well at least happy. :) Our day was nice. We stayed at home this year, so even though I was away from my family, we still got to spend time with our friends who are close as family. (Closer depending on the family member) :) The kids played, we cooked, and then ate until I was about to pop. I am taking a moment to count my blessings and look at all I have to be thankful for. A loving God Friends Family Life I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT DAY ok nap time :)

It's official... deep in my heart of hearts, I'm 13. I doubt I will ever get past my love for NKOTB, which was just reignited so much last night. I am not sure I can adequately put into words, how AMAZING this concert was. I went with my friend and fellow NKOTB groupie Cindy. We decided to set out early, not knowing how much time we would need. Turns out we had TONS, so we swung by Pick-Up Stix for dinner. It was nice, my fortune said "You will be content by the end of Summertime". I told Cindy they must mean NEXT summer :) We hit target to kill a little more time and then headed over to the concert. We got parked and headed in. For the most part it was a WHOLE LOT of women in their mid to late 30's, a few families, and a couple of clearly "excited" husbands, who were earning some MAJOR brownie points that night. We found our seats and they were pretty good actually. We were on the floor level, probably about 25 rows back from the stage. I got som...

ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH??? I am off to see "The New Kids on The Block" and channel my inner 13 year old!! I will hopefully return with great stories, and pictures, and will hopefully replace this blog when I get home.

So I was going about my day as usual. I was upstairs packing Paige a bag because she was staying the night at her besties house, chatting with my brother on the phone, all was well. Then my other phone rings. I look at the caller ID hmmmm Alvarado hospital, so I get off the phone with Jake and answer. Me - "Hello?" Receptionist Lady - " Yes can I speak to Amy Eagle" Me - "this is she" RL - " Hi this is (can't remember) at Dr. Purcell's office, and I wanted to make a follow up appointment to go over your MRI" Me - "I thought I had an appointment on the 4th" RL - " Oh let me look, yep you sure do, sorry about that, that's fine. There were some IRREGULARITIES on your MRI and we need to go over them." Me - *cricket cricket* RL - " Oh nothing to worry about, we just need to go over the MRI with you and Dr.Purcell will it explain it to you. See you on the 4th!" Me - * cricket cricket* *sigh* No worries.....
