Sorry that I have not been around. The kiddos are all sick, hubby and I are also down with the crud. Hubby is better and is taking care of the rest of us, which means I get limited time on the computer since he is home :o) Which is ok, since he makes $$ with his computer time, and I manage to just bitch about things :o) Things have been fairly quiet since we have all been sick. I went over to Tracy's to help Kris out with the party favors for her SIL's wedding yesterday. They turned out awesome!! Kris has a great imagination and if weddings were not such a pain the ass, actually if the people in the wedding were not such a pain she would be a great wedding planner!! We managed to make somewhere around 150 party favors and they are beautiful!! It took us a few hours and we had to change our plans on how they were to look but overall it was fun :o)
Hubby went to the football game last night. Rams won, but it was an AWEFUL game. The final score was Rams 33 and Ravens 22.... only 14 of those points came from the offense. The other points came mainly from our Special teams.... how sad is that???? ESPN was the one that aired it last night and they SUCKED!! I hated it. FOX is MUCH better at airing our games. The first quarter was full of technical difficulties from ESPN and they had Ray Lewis from the Ravens team "wired" so we got to listen to someone that none of us care about moan and groan and hype up his team... wow... how fun.... or NOT! Plus, the commentators from ESPN SUCKED!! Thanks, but go away. Our Rams defense is AWESOME!!!! Gotta LOVE our guys!! Grant Wistrom, Adam Archuleta you guys are awesome!! :o) Oh and we cannot forget Jeff Wilkins who managed to get the ball between the poles FOUR times and some of them from great distances!!! And Welcome back to Adam Archuleta and Marshall Faulk!! OK,enough of that :o)

On Oct 30th I posted an E mail from a friend of mine who Emailed me by mistake... well after I Emailed him and asked him what in the heck he was talking about I got a response today....
O my gosh! I sent you this e-mail!!! I am so sorry! Don't be mad!
My friends e-mail is *****************. O man I'm laughing so hard
right now. Sorry I bet you were like what the F***K is he doing! I love you kido!!

That was his response... I find it interesting how some people talk to someone one way, that you had NO idea about and they talk TOTALLY different to someone else!! I did respond to his Email with.. Now I know the secret of the "guy talk" and know that he is not the sweet innocent guy I originally thought that he was :o) But that is ok... he is a sweetie, and I will keep him for a friend :o) (of course hubby was not so happy with the "love you" part... men, if only they understood friendships the way us women do :o) )

Ok, on to a totally different subject, The other day I heard on the news that a Blackhawk helicopter was shot down... my heart dropped to my feet! Just to clarify, I agree with Bush sending troops over to Iraq, I know that our service men and women are doing the jobs that they signed up to do. I know that a lot of people do not agree with us being over there, but I DO agree and believe that what we are doing we are doing for the good of the Iraqi people and all people. Saddam is a HORRIBLE man and I hope that sometime soon we catch him and kill the SOB. OK, back to what I was originally saying.... I have a friend that is a blackhawk pilot. He has been doing it for a long time and my heart broke when I heard that a blackhawk went down... he is there in Iraq and is a wonderful friend of mine. I tried for a couple of days to get in touch with him and tried to find out who was killed that day... then a couple of days ago I heard from him, he is fine, he is on missions is ok with it. He wants to be there and wants to do what he is doing. He was there for the GUlf War and was in Bosnia when that crap happened.... but I have to say... I hate it. I hate that anyone that I care about is there. Here is his webpage if anyone is interested. He is an awesome friend and I would not trade that for anything... just brings home the truth that our friends, neighbors, loved ones, family are there risking their lives as we go on about our normal life bitching and moaning and groaning about the inconsequential little shit life throws us...
Ok, I am done for now, time to get back to the sick kiddos.... hopefully I will be back tomorrow!!! :o)
