U2 and Tater Tots

Can I just let everyone in on a secret....I am in love with U2. They have got to be the best musicians since the Beatles. Incredible. I have seen them twice now and this time was better than the first. Bono's voice is amazing. The Edge's guitar playing is a force to reckon with...and let me tell you of my secret crush...Adam Clayton..who plays the bass. He is amazing. When you feel the bass in your tummy and mix that with Bono's voice its magic I tell you. Of course there is Larry Mullins who is the drummer and token cute guy in the band....I tell you it is true love. I can't believe after I think a 20 year love affair with them...they are still as good as they ever have been. They did falter a bit in the 90's with POP and Lemon...almost lost me there...but they came back with a vengence. If you ever have the opportunity to see them...go at whatever cost!! To hear Sunday Bloody Sunday live....better than sex...well maybe not...but pretty damn good!!

My other obssession lately is Sonic cheese tater tots. I can't get enough. Since I had my lower braces put on...it seems like that is the only thing I want. I go and order a small and before I am able to pull out of Sonic...I am ordering a large because I know I want more after just smelling them. I am sitting here at work and wanting them now. It's bad man. Like a drug.

Hope all is well. Kim & Jer...miss you girls!!

now what!!

Okay...what is it about vacation that always causes fights. Chris and I literally have not spoken to eachother since Tuesday night. I mean not one word. It is very quiet at my house. We have never ever been in a fight like this one. Maybe one other one....but this is bad. He actually told me he really is reconsidering why he ever married me in the first place...can you imagine hearing those words. Needless to say it hasn't been a good week. Not to mention a little girl was hit by a car in front of the pre-school. They say things happen for a reason...well for some reason my cell phone was in my pocket. It is never in my pocket. I got to call 911. I don't think I have ever been that shaken. Scary stuff.

Kim I took your quizes...for some reason I posted them on my other blog. I was the flapper and Snoopy. I thought they were both pretty right on.

Disney was a blast. Nothing better than seeing it through the eyes of a 2 year old. Let me tell you that little man was hilarious. He loved all the furry characters but when it came to a princess he freaked the hell out!! We had a blast. Loved dinner at Emerils and would highly recommend anyone to eat there. Have many other stories but really not in a great mood. Just thought I would blog for the sake of blogging. May have to write most of this stuff in the great journal a great friend gave me for my birthday.

Talk to you all soon...hopefully things will be better.....

Teen angst and Disneyworld

Okay...I feel like everytime I am on this f-ing blog I am complaining about Megan. Don't get me wrong she is a great kid....but jeesh...I don't know how much more I can take. She finally is going out with a great nice guy that she really likes and he dumps her. So I get tears and crying on Saturday night...with "Why Me mom" How do you answer that. Now because it has been 2 days and that is well enough time to move on she likes another kid. This kid is a 10th grader....how does that even happen. How does someone in 9th grade at a different school meet a 10th grader. Granted this kid is from a good family and we know his parents...even though they are divorced....and he is super nice on the phone and actually uses manners and calls me Mrs. Gurley (which makes me want to say"uh she is next door"). He is in the band and on the honor roll so a good kid. But do I let her go out with him? Man alive, I wish she was dumpy, ugly and with zits. I think I could handle the "no one likes me" stuff better than this.

On the other hand we have Griffin. Temper tantrums do not even begin to describe what I have been dealing with him!! Amazing this child. Meg never did any of this stuff. He through the biggest fit today because he wanted to wear his Nemo pajama top that he slept in all night the next day....granted he was just going to my grams but seriously...did he need to do that. Then at school he is not napping. I don't know what else to tell them to do. I broke down and brought a bottle for them to give him and it still didn't work. I feel like they don't want him there since he isn't napping. I know that isn't the case but still I don't know what else to do.

We are leaving for Disney on Saturday. I am really excited about it....but worried that it will rain and not be as great as I am expecting it to be. I have a little neice that I know I want it to be a special trip for her. I am also worried about Griffin's behavior and Megan missing school. I am worried about my sis and mom getting into it. Or my mom's big idea of skipping through Disney with her grandkids all holding Mickey baloons and singing will not happen. I am not kidding that is what she thinks will happen. It is a dream. Well better close now. Need to bring my girls...yes sometimes I feel like I have 2 teenagers because of Chloe...to the football game. Hope all is well.
