Birthday

What a great day yesterday was. It was Marty and Lexi’s birthday! I can not believe my baby is 8 years old, am I really getting that old? It was also Election Day. I was campaign chairwoman for Nampa Mayor Tom Dale. Proud to say another victory! Also my mom City Council Woman Pam White was running for re-election and she won! Great day all around. Both of them won with over 70% of the votes, if it’s not broke why fix it right!?

So for Marty’s birthday we went to Red Robin for lunch (it is a tradition.) Then for dinner we went to this awesome new restaurant called Darby’s. What was funny is that I asked Lexi what she would like for me to make for her birthday dinner and she said “well did you ask dad?” I said no, she said “well I want to go to Darby’s.” Well then ok to Darby’s it is!

After dinner we went to the campaign party until about 10pm. Because Canyon County is SO SLOW calculating the votes we did not get the official results until 2am! Mind you only 8,000 voters voted! Are you kidding me!?!?! I could have hand counted them faster than that!!! Anyway, I was pleased with the out come!

It was indeed a great day all around!

A start to a wonderful weekend

What a crazy past couple of days. Lexi is much better, her fever is gone but she has this horrid sounding cough. The children’s Mucinex has been wonderful. I can tell she is feeling better because she has gone back to her sassy ways. Nights are hard, I feel like a new mother who is up every 2 hours with her baby. I must say having her home with me has been a treat. We have enjoyed watching Days of our Lives (that is our favorite show!)

My birthday was Wednesday, not the best birthday ever but I am hoping that next week I will get to do something fun to make up for it.We are going to Seaside at the end of the month so I am counting down the days till then. After we get back it will be very close to Election Day! Remember to VOTE November 3^rd!!! My votes are going to Nampa Mayor Tom Dale and City Council Woman Pam White.

Here is a funny story, the other day as I was waxing my eye brows I waxed the end of one of them off. YIKES, when you husband can tell there is not something right you know you are in trouble. I have tried to draw it on, but it doesn’t look the same. I tell you what, waxing of the eye brows is not something you should do on your own.

I can tell I have too much time on my hands! I need a job, but for some reason I can not find a job that will work around my kids schedule. You know I want to work 9-2 and be home with my kids on their days off. I have applied many places but no takers yet. When I go for job interviews I feel like I am interviewing them. By the end of the interview if they have not met my standards I say thank you for your time. I should not be so picky…. Isn’t there anything out there that can work with my schedule? Starbucks!! I need a job at Starbucks, I always feel good when I go to Starbucks. I have a new ambition; I am going to go apply to work at Starbucks. We will see if I can work the hours I want!

One sick little girl.

What a weekend, you always have to love it when a weekend fly’s by right? Not here, I like to enjoy my weekends. I like to have family time and this past weekend just did not seem like I got the quality family time that I wanted.

Saturday started out cold it felt like snow. I am running a re-election campaign for our Mayor and we had a fundraiser luncheon. It was a great turn out and great food. Brick 29 in Nampa donated their services. If you ever get a chance to eat at Brick 29 you MUST! Their food is the BEST! Dustin the chef has won many awards and is super nice!! You have to try the bacon, I have NEVER has anything like it before. YUMMMM

After the luncheon my son had a soccer game. So all bundled up we watch his team win their soccer game. During the game my son collided with another player, as a mom it was my first instinct to run across the field and see how he was, but I didn’t. I waited until he was on the sideline and then ran over to him! He was fine just a bump and within 5 minutes he was back in the game.

After the game we came home and watch college football all evening with a fire burning in the fire place it was a great way to end the day. On Sunday we woke up and got ready for church. My daughter who never plays sick came in and told me she did not feel well, I said you are ok lets get ready to go. So we got to church she went into children’s church. After church she came into the main church and she had sick eyes. I felt her head and my baby was burning up. So off to the Doc-in-the-Box we went. We get to the Dr. she has a fever and because she was vaccinated for the regular flu they tested her for H1N1 and sure enough it came back positive…

Chalk that up to another “Worst Mother” award. I hate it when I get those awards. I should have listen to her and kept her home. Well we are home now and she is resting, right now she is also getting EVERYTHING she wants! It is the least I can do, she is my sick baby :-(

Lesson for the mom here: Listen to your kids, if they say they do not feel well they may be telling the truth!
