One Week Away

I can't believe that Christmas is a week away! Thank goodness I went last Saturday to start my shopping! I never wait this long to do my shopping! I only have a few more items to pick up and I'm hoping that'll be over the next few days. I really miss blogging!

My Day Off!!

I finally have a day off! Ask me how I'm spending it! I slept in, didn't shovel the walks, made a few work phone calls and answered some emails and now I'm baking! I figured I'd better get it all done now before I get the call to come into work. Speaking of work, I officially had the worst day ever there last night. I had a boy tell me to eff off and go home and then was lied to by the one boy that I felt I had the best repore with. I was so ticked off that I came home early. I'd like to say I didn't take it personally, but yet here I am blogging about it. I think the closer we get to Christmas the harder it gets for the boys. The majority of them don't get to go home for the Holiday and they get so upset and don't know how to handle the anger and disappointment. I'm torn between having sympathy for them and wanting to drive the bus that runs them over. Oh! I can make carmel popcorn too!!

Boys....Boys.....Boys.......Kill Me Now!!

Okay, so I've worked like, I don't know, A BILLION hours in the last two weeks. I think I spend more time at the GH than the boys do. I can't remember if I have friends, and the only people that look familar are called Mom and Dad. Yep, I've reverted to being a kid. And my poor puppies give me that sad "take me with you" look as I dash out of the house. And I'm afraid Christmas is going to pass me by. And we decided to pick names this year. I really hope Aaron likes cash.

Nothing Really

I started watching the last few episodes of MI-5 season 5, I think its season 5. But I forgot how cute Rupert Penry-Jones is! So today I added his picture. And now I want to go watch North & South, not the one with ugly Patrick Swayze but with the really cute British Guy! And as a side note, I'd like to say thank you to Kim for introducing us to the HOT British North & South Guy!

Visiting Brooke!!

We headed up to Idaho this weekend to visit Brooke and to continue to celebrate Aaron's birthday. We had a really fun weekend! We went to the Texas Road House in Idaho Falls, this is Aaron's favorite!

Our waiter was a bit of an idiot, but then again so was the hostess, but the food was really good! I couldn't get our waiter to understand that we needed a TON of limes. I'm not even really sure how I got ahold of this lemon, but I do remember NOT having enough limes!!

Happy Birthday Aaron!!

Its Aaron's Birthday!! He's finally 25! Which means his auto insurance is going to go down! Wha-Hooooo!! For Aaron's birthday we invited the crew over for cheesecake at midnight (cuz that's when we all finally roll on home). We all had a good time and the cheesecake was yummy! I'd like to tell you what my brother Aaron is like, but I think his shirt says it all. Love You Aaron!!

My Friend Don

Remember when I had time to blog? And I did it all the time? I miss my blogging time. So remember when I started my new position at the Boys Group Home? And people started putting my picture on milk cartons? Apparently I went missing. I'm still not sure I've been found. But anyway, when I first started, all my co-workers hated me. I was pretty confident that they all wanted to stab me in my sleep, especially Don. He hated me like hate was the new 31 Flavor Ice Cream and everyone had to have a taste. Hate...........Me............Tons. Sad times. Well, Don has been on vacation this last week. He went to Boston to meet his 2 half sisters that he has never met before. He was extremely excited. So I was extremely excited to hear how the vacation went and to hear all about his sisters. So I got to work yesterday and walked into the office and he was there with Erin, Allyson and Kate. And as I walked through the door I had this fluffy brown thing tossed at me. And Don says "Here I just wanted to give you something for being so nice to me". Now I was completely taken off guard by this statement and by the cute Boston Brown Bear I was holding in my hands. Things have gotten so much better than those first 2 months I started with the boys, and I've come to not only appreciate Don but depend on him for so many things. But did I really expect to receive a Boston Bear from him that he picked up on his vacation? NO WAY!! My three co-workers were a bit shocked and impressed. And when they said something to Don he said "She does a lot of nice things for me, she's my really good friend". It took almost 3 hours to pick me up off the floor. So I'm happy to say, that I have a new friend! And I never would have believed it would be Don! And in true friendship I wanted to let Don know how much I appreciated him and his friendship, so we took the boys to a Haunted House this evening and I threw him under the bus! Yep! I made him be my human shield! I made him stand between me and all the crazy freaky psycho clowns. It was a good time had by all! And I'm happy to say, I was not the only one screaming like a little girl, nor was I even the best at screaming like a little girl! Ahh, teenage boys.
