Ever feel like you're going up this HUGE hill and you're looking at your feet to make sure you don't stumble over a rock or something and each time you glance up to see if you're almost to the top you realize that someone keeps moving the top of the hill?
Yeah, me too.

Girls' Weekend
Shalina and Anna came down to visit for a girls' weekend this past weekend. The girls and I have been looking forward to it for, oooohhh about since it was planned!!! We got to hang out and play on Friday, go the American Girl Doll Store on Saturday and Babyland General on Sunday. It was a great weekend! Of course there was much weeping and wailing when we parted ways on Sunday; and we can't wait to see them again SOON!!! I would write more but if you read Hayden's blog you got it all in detail so why repeat other than to say "IT WAS AWESOME AND WE WISH WE LIVED CLOSER SO WE COULD SEE THEM MORE OFTEN!!"
Too cute!
I was just reading Hayden's blog and I have to tell you that kid can write!!! It's so funny reading her perspective on things. And interesting to see what things she considers most important in life! Man I love that kid!!

So many things to share!!!
1: Have picked up a bunch of extra shifts at work. Yuck for work; yeah for money.
2: Hayden finished the basketball season with her best game ever. Still nothing in the "W" column but a good game is a good game!!!
3: The girls and I attended a hockey game by ourselves and had an awesome time. Very little fighting at all!
4: I have a new FAVORITE sandwich!! Quizno's Turkey Ranch Sandwich. So delish and so few points!!
5: I've met my 5% weight loss goal with Weight Watchers!! (Hence the above mentioned points comment)
6: The girls had a long weekend off of school. We went to see the Tooth Fairy today with my friend Lisa and her boys. Cute and funny movie!!! The kids loved it and Lisa and I giggled through almost all of it! AND at Andy's suggestion (since he had been working his butt off continually for the past 3 weeks at work AND at home) we went out to Ninja for dinner. Yummy!! The only problem was that during the "show" the guy didn't throw food at us so Hayden got upset. Being 9 is so hard!!
7: We had snow and the girls and I almost got stranded driving in it. Scary moments but we did make it home.
8: Hayden had a yearly eye doctor appointment and..... duh duh duuuuuhhhhh...... got contacts. She's happy about it. Except when she has to have them taken out. And I say have them taken out because she hasn't learned how to do it yet so Mom has to take them out. That is the fun part....NOT!!!
9: The Olympics are on and I've been thoroughly enjoying them. In fact I have decided that the girls need to start training for the snowboard cross race immediately so that they can be in the 2022 Olympics. I guess I should give them the option but it looks really cool and I just know they would be awesome..... and well I'm too old and I want to go to the Olympics and did I mention it looks REALLY cool? I'm just saying! Moving to Lake Placid New York or Vancouver may be rough on the family but in the long run I'm sure it will be the best option for everyone!!! lol
10: I worked Valentine's Day and Valentine's Eve. But I did arrive home Saturday night to find a large heart stomped into the snow with "I love you" inside it. How often can you get that?!!?
11: We had a spend the night party Thursday night and all 4 of the kids got along!! That is such big news that it probably should have been #1 but......
12: My BFF Shalina and her daughter Anna are coming down this weekend!!! We are all sooooo excited. The countdown has been going on for a couple of weeks now. The girls have planned what they will be wearing when they arrive, what they will be doing and where they will be sleeping. I can't wait!!!

Life
Today was busy. After working last night I went to a murder mystery theater luncheon with my Mozzie. I must say that I figured out who the "murderer" was. Yeah I'm that much of a detective.
After that I picked up the girls from school, did homework and enjoyed the Around the World family fun night at the elementary school. Plenty of good food to try and the book fair to boot.
Tomorrow looks like it's going to be another busy one. Gotta get to the school early to pop popcorn for the 1st grade Popcorn Sale. Then help in B's class. Then back to the popcorn.
Oh yeah, and did I mention that I was going to try to have a meeting with H's principal? Sure am. Because of the whole bully thing my child, who absolutely has loved Buford, loves her friends, her class and her teacher, has informed me that she wants to change schools or never go back to school again. Needless to say, this is a deal breaker and now I'm moving up the ladder.
Wish me luck! Or offer any ideas you might have to help me!!!!!
