I'm not really sure what I want to post tonight. No kids this week, so have some computer time to myself. I've ranted enough to everyone I know about the most recent trouble with Brian's ex. Just more of her greed and selfishness. I wish she would wake up and realize how much she is hurting the kids more than she is trying to accuse us of. I think she is just an unhappy person and is jealous of what Brian and I have together and is afraid that her kids might actually be happy here too. And, it wouldn't bother me if the kids were happy at her house too. Like I told mom it is so hard not to resent her kids when she acts this way. And that makes me stressed more than I need to be.
There are no games this week. KJ has just the one left next week. I took Friday off. We are going to visit friends for the weekend. We haven't had a get away all winter, so will be a nice change of scenery and hope it helps to get me out of this winter funk that I have been in. Everytime something doesn't go right it seems to send me into a downward spiral. We need some good news and fellowship with our friends to help pick up my spirits. Bring on the sun and warm weather I say.

Detox
I am so happy that we got our TV back, although I'm going to miss getting to read as often as I did. I guess I really don't have an excuse. I can always go into another room or shut off the TV to read. But, I am such an addict. I guess we should have gone longer without it to completely detox me from it.
Speaking of detox. I've decided to cleanse myself from the negativity at work also. Everyday at breaktime I sit with the same group of gals and everyday it brings me down. Everything new we try to do to improve the clinic brings some negative comment of how it won't work or what is wrong with it. One even complained because I was putting people's birthdates in the newsletter that I write each week. Not the year, just the date. Come on! It's supposed to be a positive thing, a morale booster. How can it be wrong? Unless you are the sort that doesn't celebrate birthdays. But, I happen to know she is not. Just negative, negative, negative. So, I stopped taking my breaks with them and I hope that I can cleanse myself of the negativity and be a happy positive person again. I've tried sticking up to them, but when it is one again several it is so hard. So, I guess I am taking a passive approach? I don't know, but I'm starting to feel better.

Ramblings
I know I said that I would post more last week, but I guess that didn't happen. I still wasn't feeling well and still not feeling the best yet, but at least there is a little improvement. I just didn't feel like sitting her long enough to put down my thoughts.
Well, I'm off today and taking this opportunity while the kids are getting ready for school to do it. Last week was pretty uneventful, still waiting for the satellite people to come and install a new receiver for us. So, not really sticking around much because there is nothing to watch. We spent one evening at the firestation watching that television, so we wouldn't miss the first episode of this season's American Idol. We did miss the next night though. Luckily, it isn't into the finals where we would miss alot. We normally would DVR the season anyway, so as not to miss any episodes. I have been doing alot of reading though this winter. I finished a series of 3 books by Nora Roberts last week and then finally got the 3rd "Twilight" series back from KJ's classmate and finished that. A coworker lent me some more books to read too, so will start on those probably later today if I find the time. I'm sure there are other things I should do today.
We went out for supper on Saturday night with friends. We found a spot that we will probably hit again. They have the best prime rib. It melted in your mouth. So, mom and dad when you are back again, we can maybe hit that spot sometime. We think we will probably go there again for their fish on a Friday night. I've heard that is good also. Sunday after church, we spent at WalMart stocking up for the week with the kids. We should be good enough now to finish out the winter, maybe. :) I doubt it.
This afternoon, KJ has a basketball game and one left after that. She is excited. I'm a little disappointed, because she doesn't enjoy basketball as much as I did. She says I am forcing her to go out next year, but I say I am not. I just want her to give it a try in high school and then decide because I know that high school will be different. That is where they weed out the players who won't make it. She really enjoys volleyball and track best, so far. After the basketball season, drama begins. She was supposed to have auditions last week, but missed out due to the weather. So, will find out this week what type of part she will have. She did so well last year that I am sure she will be fine again this year.
Then, she asked if we could go to the firestation again so as not to miss out on American Idol. She is so funny. We probably will. And, maybe tomorrow night too, if there isn't a meeting.

Catching up
Wow, seems like I haven't posted in ages. I hadn't been feeling well and I had to work early all last week, so by evening with having the kids around, I didn't feel much like putting any thoughts down. Well, now I sit alone as Brian sleeps, so I have some peace to do it.
Today I had a checkup with my surgeon. Looks like it will continue that way every six months for who knows how long. No problems, but he always seems to think he has to dialate things "down there". So, of course, when I return he has to check it and do it all over again. I always feel as if I have been violated each time. Today he must have done more than usual because it hurt more, there was some bleeding and I thought I was going to throw up. I think I would enjoy a pap more than this. Maybe.
Otherwise, family is the same as usual. Heather is getting her grades back up, except she is still failing Spanish, but that is getting better too. Maybe we won't get a letter from the school this week. Ty seems to be getting along with his dad a little better. KJ is still keeping us busy with activities. She told me that she will be auditioning for the jr high play soon. She got a lead part last year, so I am sure she will do fine this year. Hallie is growing in leaps and bounds and I'm not sure how we are keeping her in clothes. No exaggerations, she won't be able to wear KJ's hand-me-downs much longer. I think she is leaning towards being built like her mother, where Heather favors her Grandma Thomas.
I think I had better get out and shovel some more snow before daylight leaves and more falls. I'll try to post more this week to catch everyone up.
