Monday Monday

Thursday night Sam brought the kids over. We had hamburgers,taco salad,broccoli salad,and potato wedges. Friday Ken was supposed to go into work ( on his day off) for a meeting but they called and canceled it. Friday morning we had to drop the car off at Firestone for inspection. G"tting ready to leave we realized we didn't have car seats..So we dropped the car off and went to Walmart to get booster seats. It makes it easier for the boys to see out the window. After Walmart we went out to breakfast. Then we came home and got the grocery list and bags and took off for grocery shopping. We decided to go to the zoo so I packed yogurt,grapes and marshmallows for the kids. We get the zoo membership every year so it didn't cost us anything. About half way through it got dark and started thundering so we headed for cover. It started raining so I decided it was a good time to let the kids eat. Ken says, " Um its hailing". We were under the roof where you can watch the sea lions from up above so there was a wall on one side..glass on the opposite side and the other 2 sides were open so the hail was hitting the ground and bouncing inside. The kids had a blast eating and chasing hailstones around. Well until it thundered really loud. Colin doesn't like loud noises..he gets that from his Nana..so he cried a little and sat on my lap. Finally it quit thundering and he was fine again. Then the sun came back out and it got hot again. Weird weather. When we left there Ken says to me," What were you planning for supper?" I said, "Probaby chicken nuggers and fries". I got "Oh"...that usually means he has a different idea. I said, "What?" "Oh I was just thinking I haven't eaten at Monte Alban yet and seeings how they're putting one in Webster I thought I should try it"...I almost laughed right out loud..but I said," Oh ok, we can try it if you want" So I didn't cook at all Friday...Yeah me!!!!!!!!!! Saturday I made breakfast for everybody and at 11:20 we had to be at church to get our picture taken for the church directory. Jen is in Tennessee so it was just Ken and I. Its the first time we've ever had a professional pic of the 2 of us done. It came out pretty good so we ordered some for the parents and the kids. We just hung out at the house the rest of the day coz we were still tired from our day at the zoo. James stopped over on his way home from he and Nicole having their pictures done. He played with the boys for awhile and then he had to go meet some friends for dinner. Poor Nicole had to work. We also had a birthday party for Shaun. We got a cake and lit a candle and the kids sang Happy Birtday. I took a video of it and sent it to him.He sent me an e-mail this morning thanking me and said he really enjoyed it. Sunday morning Sam texted me and asked if she could pick the kids up instead of me bringing them home coz she was in Niagara Falls visiting her best friend. I said sure no problem so I got to spend a couple extra hours with my grandkids. Oh yeah and I did my laundry Saturday so I don't have to do it today. And I filled the pool with water so the kids could "swim" this week end. We had a very busy very fun filled week end...Now its back to work for Ken. He works 4 days this week, then he has 4 days off,(Friday is the day they have off for 4th of July but he doesn't work Friday so they're giving him Monday off) then he works 3 days and has 3 days off. I like that he has Fridays off. So I guess that's it for now..I'll put up a pick of the kids and the birthday video....

Thursday

Ok...I think I'm ready...or as close to ready as I can be...Done: Picked and washed lettuce from the garden, vaccumed, taco meat made for Taco Salad but its one of those throw together at the last minute things, Broccoli Salad made, I think all I have left to do is grill burgers, make homemade potato wedges, and throw the Taco Salad together. It sure seems like I did more then that but I don't remember what it was. Sammy is bringing the kids over later..Yippeee...I can't wait to see them. Sometime this week end we have to get the car inspected. Ken's working on that.Oh yeah...and I did dishes at least twice. Glad the rain brought some cooler weather. Windows are open and the breeze is blowing and the house is cooling down.

Wednesday

Hot Dog!!!!!!!!!! 3 days in a row. This morning I decided to walk to the library so I packed a lunch...grabbed some cash so I could go to the grocery store and headed out at 9:50 for the library. Read a few magazines and ate my lunch. About 12:30 I packed up and walked over to Hegedorns to pick up some stuff I needed, then walked home. Man its hot out. Sam is bringing the kids over tomorrow night and I promised her burgers and taco salad. I've never made this kind of taco salad before but I've had it so it should be interesting to see if its what I remember. If not....there's 1000 more recipes on the internet. Tonight Hubby and I and Nicole if she gets here on time are having BLT's. Right now I've got the hose running in the kids pool trying to get it filled up for this week end. I figure its gonna take a long time to fill so I came in and set the timer for 30 minutes. 5 minutes to go. I'm glad summer is finally here. I really enjoyed my walk to the library this morning. We have so much with in a mile of my house and a mile walk is only about 20 minutes. So now I'm hot and sweaty and ready for a nap but I'm not gonna take one coz if I do I know I won't sleep tonight. So off to check the pool.

Tuesday

Well last night at Jose and Elizabeths was a blast. We got there around 6:30. They just bought their first house in the Lake Ave/ Flower City Park area. A big beautiful old house. The guys grilled steaks on their huge deck while us girls walked around the house and talked about all the possibilities. Supper was steak, rice, broccoli and cauliflower followed by "Chocolate Pudding Pie" with bananas and chocolate chips. Then we went to Adventure Landing and played a game of mini golf. It was the Kirklands against the Rosenbaums..Final score..Ken 44, Jose 44, Elizabeth 44, Me 41 So thanks to my 2 hole in ones and Elizabeth having a hard time on one hole Ken and I won. Jose said they let us win coz we paid for the game...LOL..He's a funny man. We really had a fantastic time of fun and fellowship. We didn't get home till after 10:30. Its made me want to have more get togethers. Its fun getting to know people. Today I went over to Nicole's and helped her load a futon in the van and take it over to Jim's Mom's. Nicole and Jim ordered new furniture that's going to be delivered Saturday. Then we came home and I finished making supper. We had BBQ'd pull porked, potatoe and macaroni salad. Nicole is now in laying down coz she has to do an overnight tonight. Oh I almost forgot!!! My cell phone rang this morning with a strange number showing. I answered and it was my Shaun!!!! He said they should be back stateside sometime in August. MP school starts next May and ends in August. He figures he should be at Fort Drum sometime in September 2010. Its so far away. He said he's really bored over there. I'm glad coz that means he's not in the midst of the bad stuff. Its hard to believe he's been gone 10 months. This Saturday is his birthday..he'll be 30. It hit me all of a sudden that a year ago now he was home..here in NY. Well...I guess that's it for today.

Monday

Well its been a pretty busy day. I had the laundry done and hung out by 8:00 this morning. The grass was really heavy with dew so I knew I wouldn't be mowing for a while. Discovered I had 2 movies that I'd recorded and hadn't watched yet so I watched them...fast forwarding through the commercials... Mom called and I paid her bills online for her and I had lunch. By then it was 12:15 and the lawn was mostly dry so I spent the next 2 hours walking behind the lawn mower and weed eating. Now I'm catching up on my blog and catching up on reading the blogs I follow. Probably should check my e-mail. Hubby and I are going to a couple from church's house tonight for supper. They just got a new house.

What's been going on

Thursday was spent reading, taking pills and sleeping. I took a couple of naps. Seems every time I fell asleep the alarm went off to take pills. I was asleep early too. Friday Ken was home..we didn't do much until 3:00 and then we went looking for a new computer coz ours crapped out AGAIN. We ended up getting both a desk top and a laptop. The laptop is doing great. He can't get the desk top to recognize the internet. He's frustrated...I'm frustrated...everybody is frustrated. Yesterday Nicole and I went to Spa Elan at Woodcliff for our massages. All I can say is....WOW. It ws very relaxing. Then we zipped over to Eastview Mall and picked up some Camille's. Later Ken and I went grocery shopping and got dessert at Mona Lisa. Today I made Ken steak for Father's Day. That's all so far.

Busy busy...tired

So the antibiotics I've been on are kicking my butt. They're fighting so hard I don't have the energy to. Last Friday we went to the memorial service for Jim's grandma and then over to his parents house to hang out for a while. Saturday Ken and I went grocery shopping, then to a village band concert at Cherry Ridge and his Dad got in town to pick up Jen. Sunday we went to church. Monday Dad and Jen left, I did laundry, mowed the lawn and Jim and Nicole came over for a BBQ and we played a WII game. Tuesday I went to Lowe's and bought Mom a new mini cultivator coz her's died, baby sat for my hair dresser while she went to Food Link, Nicole and I met Ken in Fairport for a car show and to have pizza. Then we came back to the house and I sat with Nicole until she had to go to work at midnight. This morning I went to my MOmmy's and cultivated her garden, sprayed weeds, ate lunch and helped her burn her papers. I'm so tired. I need to get a solid more then 5 1/2 hours of sleep. Antibiotics are done Saturday so maybe then. That's all.
