Last day of 2007

Wow, I can't believe 2007 is almost over. Only about 10 more hours to go. We're spending the rest of the day with the kids, heading out to see a movie in a few minutes then going out for dinner. They of course want to stay up until midnight and ring in the new year. I'll leave that up to my hubby. I'll be in bed early since I have to work in the morning.......I've done that the past 5 or so years since no one else ever wants to get up. Yeah, I'm a real party animal! Not.

Have a great night everyone!

Australia?

What do you think? Does it look like Australia? This is on the wall outside one of the doors at the middle school my daughter goes to. Looks like the concrete is chipping away. We can't enter that door without her saying how much it looks like Australia, she was studying it in Social Studies class so she knows what it looks like! lol So I just had to take a picture. It's only taken me a month to get in on the computer though. The dang wireless phone people turned off my ability to text and send emails when I added my daughter's phone to our plan. I just figured out yesterday what the problem was.

BTW, I've always wanted to visit Australia. Anyone want to join me?

How Cute

I wanted to share a cute little thing I witnessed yesterday. My daughter would probably be quite embarrassed if she knew I noticed.

I was driving a couple of her friends home yesterday morning after they slept over at our house. I dropped off the first one, then to get to the other girl's house we had to pass their "old" elementary school. (They moved on to the middle school this year for 7th grade.) I happened to glance in the rear view mirror as we passed the school and at the same time they both turned and stared kind of longingly at the school. Then they both turned to each other and smiled, turned forward and rode the rest of the way quietly.

Neither of them said a word as they passed but I could tell exactly how they felt.

Merry Christmas

Good Morning! I want to wish all (4) of my readers a very Merry Christmas!! Again today it will just be the four of us and my mom. We'll spend the day playing with all the new toys. The kids and hubby are playing with the Magnetix iCoaster we got for my daughter right now. I have a couple ipods I have to set up for them and we'll probably watch "A Christmas Story" at least once today. Gotta love the 24 hour marathon on TBS! My oldest wants to sit and watch it from beginning to end. I think she's seen the entire movie but it bits and pieces throughout the years. We're planning to have a turkey dinner tonight.

My brother and niece will be coming down on Thursday for a few days. We will "celebrate" again with him and he's planning to make some more Polish food. Yum! My mother in law is out of town visiting family so we won't see her until the weekend.

Oh, the present I was referring to yesterday........an electric blanket! I know I've mentioned here I'm always cold in the winter. Hubby knows it too. I always complain about getting into an ice cold bed at night. Now it will be REALLY hard to get me out of in come morning!

Better be going, I'm being summoned for ipod and cell phone help! Yup, got my oldest a phone. She's one happy camper!

Santa Claus comes tonight

The night the kids have been waiting for. I can't believe it's Christmas again already! Time sure flies. We usually spend Christmas Eve at home with my mom. We go to mass in the afternoon and then come home and have Kapusta (polish cabbage soup). We've had that on Christmas eve as long as I can remember. Then we build a fire, open gifts and track Santa online at http://www.noradsanta.org/.

For as long as I can remember I've loved to try to guess what's in my presents. It drives me bonkers not knowing what they are! I have one sitting here now in front of me from hubby that I have no clue on. I didn't think he was going to get me anything since he let me buy a certain Rick Springfield book. Now it's driving me nuts to know what's in there. He said it was something I needed, but I can't think of anything that I need in that big of a box. So I asked if it was something I knew I needed or something he thought I needed and I might get insulted. LOL He said I would not be insulted. Then my youngest told me she wanted it. Hmm? Something I need that she wants. Now I'm really curious!

Hope everyone has a wonderful night!
