Another Day
Today was another day of staying inside. Very windy and rainy outside. Yesterday was a lazy day too. I slept most of the day. Doesn't happen very often. Baily laid in bed with us and slept for a couple hours allowing us to get some naps in as well. Nice.
Didn't sleep all day today. Did laundry, dishes, and played online. Also played the PS2 a little bit and watched TV. My poor Leo is sick. I think he may have food poisoning. Whatever he had for lunch, he said it was hot dogs, looked really nasty coming up. He's asleep on the couch for now. I hope he feels better, I hate puking.
That is the reason I slept most of yesterday. This Chantix (stop smoking pill) has a side effect of nausea and vomiting. Well, I ate scrambled eggs and drank coffee and we'll just say yuck. Today I ate toast instead and just laid down for a little bit after taking it and was fine.
I am not sure if this is going to work. The stop smoking thing. I still crave cigarettes, just not as often and not a whole one. I have been going online daily and doing the GetQuit activities that are part of the Chantix program, but am not sure how easy it will be to stop on Monday, my quit date. I really do want to quit, but nicotine and smoking is more addictive and harder to quit than heroin. That sucks. Should've listened to my parents about not smoking, then I wouldn't be dealing with this now. Oh well, here I am.
Baily is being really good right now. He is quietly (wow) sitting next to his big brother on the couch and watching Wheel of Fortune. Not to mention he is chewing on some sort of food he stole from the kitchen, but at least he ate his dinner tonight.
Dinner was kind-of thrown together tonight, but was really good. I used 2 half full bags of whole wheat pasta that were left in the cabinet and made a tuna casserole thing. I boiled the pasta with leftover peas with pearl onions (from last night), a can of corn, and some cut up fresh carrots and broccoli (trees as the boys call them). Then I mixed in a can of cream of mushroom soup, a can of tuna, and some pepper. I added a bit of shredded cheese to the top and baked it for 20 minutes. Baily, Billy, and myself had 2 helpings, YUM! Leo was to sick and mom is on her healthy eating plan, so there are leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Bye for now!

I love today!
Besides looking like a chipmunk today, due to an abscessed tooth, I am doing well. It's so bad I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. 4 ibuprofen and 2 vicodin later, it doesn't hurt as bad, but wow, its almost worse than childbirth.
Today was okay. Woke up a little after 8:00am (late for us). Hurried breakfast along, got Leo ready and off to school on time, with a little coffee and help from my wonderful husband. Baily was very easy to deal with this morning, but as the day wore on, he got into more and more mischief and trouble. Oh well, he's only 3 I guess. He really wasn't too bad though, besides opening a new jar of peanut butter and scooping some out with his fingers.
Dinner was for lazy people today. We had plenty of leftover spaghetti from last night, so that was it. Tomorrow I am making a white bean chicken chili. Hopefully it turns out well, new recipe.
I put in two more applications today. I really want someone to call me back. I feel useless while I'm not working. Also it would be nice to give my mom some money to help with bills and stuff. I plan on giving her over half of my tax return, but am still waiting for W-2's. I got 1 of 3 so far. Come on end of the month.
Thank you California PVC, whatever you are, for calling my phone number, making me get up off the floor to answer the phone, and then hanging up on me. Losers, I should call the number back and irritate them, but I just don't feel in the mood tonight.
I would love a job before February, so hopefully I can sign up for some more college classes. I really enjoy taking classes, not to mention the Financial Aid. It helps out too. I did really good last semester. 4 A's and 1 B. I am proud of that and want to do it again while stimulating my brain and learning new things.
Well, Baily and Billy are really cute and asleep on the chair in the living room, and Leo is in bed as well. I should probably take advantage and do something like sleep or fold laundry, but no thanks. Writing in my blog and playing on the internet is just as important, isn't it. I'll do the laundry folding in the morning so I don't disturb Leo while putting clothes away. Lazy, I know, but I really don't want to right now.
Going to find something to do now. Goodnight!

Bingo
So tonight mom and I are going to Bingo. I don't have any money to play, but mom really wants to go and said she would buy my cards. I have been a few times, but never have won, gotten close though. Would be nice to win, pay a bill or two, and give mom the rest.
The boys took a nap today. Hooray! I made an awesome dinner that turned out really good. Penne pasta (the healthy multi-grain kind) and spaghetti with ground white meat turkey, zucchini, yellow squash, red onions, fresh tomatoes and spices. Yummy. Have to cook the healthy stuff more often for mom, but its good for us too. The kids even enjoyed most of it. They took out some stuff though.
The rain finally did stop, but it remained fairly cold all day. Didn't take the kids out to play, but had plenty of enjoyment with them inside. Leo finished his homework. I can't believe they have homework in kindergarten now. Tomorrow he has a half day at school, so maybe we will go do something after he gets out. I have some unused Chuck E. Cheese tokens, so we might drive to Salinas or Gilroy to use them. If they are good anyways.
Question of the day from Leo (as I'm typing) - Does blood go in your head? feet? arms? mouth? noses? blood boogers? fingers? etc.... Nice questions huh? Talking about picking out blood boogers out of his nose. Ewww. Boys!
All I need to do is get the clothes out of the dryer and clean the kitchen up from making dinner. Maybe I can get Billy to do the kitchen, otherwise I'll end up doing it later tonight when we get back or tomorrow morning. Gonna go fold clothes now.

Raining Coffee Morning
Like predicted, it's raining outside and the kids are running throughout the house driving everyone, including the poor kitty, crazy. They keep tossing this little ping pong ball to the cat, but then running and picking it up before the kitty can get it. They don't understand why the cat loses interest in playing with them. Oh well.
Just made the 2nd pot of coffee for the day. With 3 people drinking it we only get about 2 cups each pot, so there is the need to make more. Not everyday, but these cold days call for more coffee, don't you think?
Today will be a boring day. I think I am going to look online now for some rainy day activities to do with the kids. Leo's homework won't take long, so we will need something to do all day.

End Of Day
Yeah! The Giants won in overtime against the Packers. They were playing in Green Bay and it was really cold -4 degree's. It would be difficult to play in that weather, let alone breathe. Brr. The Patriots are now undefeated AFC champions. They beat the Chargers by 9 points, but it wasn't nearly as good a game as the Giants/Packers game. Now I have to wait until February 3rd for the Superbowl to see football again. (And commercials.)
The kids are laying on the living room couch watching TV and winding down for the night, hopefully. I hope to get a decent amount of sleep tonight so I am not exhausted tomorrow.
I completed my goals for the day. 2 loads of laundry even. Finally catching up on my dirty clothes pile. Tomorrow I will be starting Chantix. It is a medication that is supposed to help you stop smoking. You smoke for the first 7 days to allow the medication to build up in your body, then quit on the 8th day. Wish me luck. There is also an online support website that goes along with the medication. This would be a great thing for me. I am over smoking. It costs too much and stinks. I just hope I don't gain a bunch of weight. I don't want to be fat either.
Tomorrow is MLK day, so no school for Leo. I let him slide on finishing his homework, so he can finish it tomorrow. I have been reading to him almost every night, so that part is already done for his homework and he did over half of it, so there isn't much left.
It's supposed to start raining either late tonight or tomorrow and the next day. That sucks. It's hard to keep the kids inside all day, they just have so much energy. I need to come up with rainy day activities they can do so they don't drive me nuts. The only problem is, they need to run! Running and screaming are done outside usually on a daily basis, but rain ruins this plan. I'll figure out something to do with them.
Today I completed 3 online job applications for myself; Safeway, Dollar Tree, and Kmart. They took forever, but I gotta get my name out there. I really want to have money again. It sucks knowing you have bills that need to be paid and not have the money to pay them. I need to work!
