Nothing too exciting here

Its been one of those days I guess.



gray and rainy. (though I do prefer rain over snow)!



got up, took the kids to their bowling leagues.. bought Trent some bowling shoes for his birthday last week. Got myself some bowling shoes on clearance even though I dont really bowl LOL maybe once every 3 or 4 months we will go as a family and bowl.. sometimes more often, sometimes not. I didnt really need new bowling shoes, but they were on sale! :)



went to the commissary. tried not to totally lose it right in the middle of the commissary. I had 5 of the kids with me. Tyler was bagging for the Junior class to make money for prom.. so all 5 kids and I are strolling through the commissary and I have 2 trying to ride on the sides or the front of the cart.. 1 trying to help push the cart by walking right in front of me.. and 1 older one doing everything he can to annoy the little ones. I have no idea what the other big one was doing. so after rolling over several kids feet more times than I can count, I was DONE. Im not even sure what all I bought.. I tried sticking to my list but Im sure I got stuff I didnt need and things I did need probably got forgotten. I know for sure that I didnt look at all the prices to compare. UGH

and lets not mention the numerous times the little ones would jump off the cart and be doing circles backwards in the aisles and bumping into anyone walking by. grrrrrr



as Im almost to the end, Robert calls to tell me he made it home. ok, Im glad he made it but really.. talking to him at that minute wasnt working so well for me.



came home.



then awhile later we all went to the BX to find Tyler some things for the laptop he ordered. Where I then had to deal with one kid telling me that he was going to go look and he would meet us later.. umm no I dont think so.. Mr. newly 11 yr old.. you dont TELL me what youre going to do. so he wasnt happy. The girl was bawling by the time we left because we didnt go down the "pink aisle" and because its not fair that she never gets to get anything... like that $40 video game she wanted?... and hates for me to remind her that she used her Christmas gift card all up on the first day we went shopping after Christmas. Not my fault the 7 yr old actually listened to me and didnt use it all and still has money to buy toy cars on his card.

she didnt like hearing how its not MOMS fault. she just wanted something.. anything..



Did find a good deal on some jeans for me. clearance! woohoo! got 2 pairs of Liz Clairborne jeans for $17. Cant buy 1 pair of any brand jeans here for that usually.. never mind finding some that fit. And oh my freaking gosh.. a size 6 fit me. I got an 8 in one style and a 6 in the other because the 6 waist was a little uncomfortable. but ummm.. a 6??? ME???????? yeah.. I dont see it but it was still semi exciting. guess it is worth it to drink those 2 protein shakes a day even though I dont always want to after all.



Then we went to the other bases BX and looked for some stuff there too.. I was convinced I needed a Vera Bradley something or other since I didnt win one at Bingo last night.. ummm yeah, apparently I really dont need anything VB (hey, those are my initials too!) oh so apparently I didnt really need any of her stuff ... $25 for a little id card holder zip up wallet kind of thingy????? ummm cant do that . Kind of sad about that.. decided I actually do like some of her stuff after all. :o who wouldve thought?! anyone know of some online place that has it super cheap? bwahahaha



ended up eating dinner in the food court since the whole family was STARVING and just couldnt hang in there for the 12 minute ride home. whatever. Had a taco.. eyeballed a cinnamon bun but so didnt get one.. this time. LOL



got gas, dropped off the 17 yr old at the gym to play with his friends, picked up Roberts car from work and came home.



watched Paycheck with the family and am now sitting here listening to a rerun of Without a Trace.



Thought about going to Koln/Cologne tomorrow to check out the Lindt chocolate factory... yummy.. but not positive about going now. the weather is crappy..



I do want to do something though.. just dont know what yet. SIGH. Anyone want to come over and hang out with this boring family? we could play cards or farkle or veg with a movie or something... no? ok maybe another time. ;)



I have a dr. appt on monday.. need to mention this dizziness stuff to her. Its not even really a dizzy thing anymore.. its kind of like I move my eyes or my head to look at something and I feel kind of dizzy like and slightly naseous.. or kind of like things are moving funny.. I wish I could explain it. Wondering if this mean Ill be switching meds for the 4th time. so tired of switching over and over. Might need to anyways.. Im soo grouchy lately. Im feeling like Im on the edge of frustration but not sure what Im frustrated about. That makes no sense either does it?



yeah so enough about my medical issues LOL



UPDATE:
SO i wrote this last night and then thought I lost it.. but Susan came to my rescue and told me how to find it again.. i feel so stupid

I dont have time to finish whatever I was thinking about last night so Im done with this post for now.

Have to help kids do Valentines projects today.. fun fun. Actually I should take a pic of Trents box.. its WAY cute! :)
