Happy Wednesday!!

not so much to be happy about today. it kinda sucked. i hate insurance.

8 months

Funnel Cake and Tony Romo

We had a great time at the game. This is Jason with my yummy funnel cake, or fried dough as he calls it. 2 of my 3 favorite guys
Me and my hunny
My 3rd favorite guy, even if he did lose :(
T.O. and the team

Wheew!

We barley missed a Christmas disaster!! We have been planning for months to get the kids Nintendo DS's for Christmas. A pink one for the princess and a black one for the prince. Well, they have been in stock everywhere and we had no worries we would be able to find them when the time came. WRONG! I went to Target today to get them, and all they had was red! I called Jason and we decided no biggie we will get them at Wal-mart. Well, 2 Wal-marts and another Target later, we start freaking out. Fine, we'll order them online and suck up the shipping(I hate shopping online!). Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Circuit Cit, Amazon, they all say the same thing: OUT OF STOCK. Shit, Shit, Shit, full blown panic is about to set in. Until....we notice wal-mart.com has a search device where you can search local stores for certain products....1 Wal-mart in a 35 miles radius has the white, black , and red DS's! Jason takes one for the team and heads out right before dinner. Meanwhile I'm at home constantly refreshing to make sure they stay in stock. Then I get the call....."merchandise is in hand". Christmas disaster diverted!! Savannah will be getting a white DS instead of a pink one, and Jonathan will be getting a red one instead of a black one, but oh well. I'm sure on Christmas morning it won't matter a bit!

A shot in the butt

That's what Jason got tonight:) Turns out he wasn't just being whiney, he's actually sick. Really sick, he has pneumonia! He called me from work and told me he wasn't feeling any better, and that he looked on WebMD and he thought he might have pneumonia. I immediately went to the Care Now website and signed him up for the web check in. We arrived at 5:45, they took blood and a chest x-ray, and came back to let us know we were right, he has pneumonia. He got a shot in the butt, and sent home with some oral antibiotics, decongestant pills, and an inhaler. Long live the meds!!

My baby is 9!

I know I'll say this every year on his birthday until the day I die, but it's true. My "baby is growing up. He had a great birthday. He got 4 tickets to Sundays Cowboys game, a messenger bag, over the door nerf b-ball hoop, and a 2007 year in sports book, Yeah, he's spoiled. Now before you start thinking we have a secret stash of dough somewhere, let me tell ya Jason won the tickets at work. So they were free, and we are still poor! Jonathan gets to choose a friend to go with him, which is pretty exciting. He is also having 3 friend over on Saturday.

We are supposed to go Christmas shopping tomorrow. Jason is sick though. He went to bed at 8 last night and slept until 7 tonight when the kids and I got home. So we will see how he feels. I am way behind on my shopping! I only have about 3 gifts for each kid, and one for my niece. That's it. Normally I'm done by now. I forgot I do have one of Jason's gifts on the way :0) Still that is way behind for me!!

A girl at work sent this to me today.......

Yes I do, Teresa, yes I do!

The Circle of Trust

I don't trust many people. This may come as surprise if you know how many friends I have! It's true though. I have only a little over a handful of people who are in my circle of trust, and a plethora of people of who I deem adequate of my presence. Sounds egotistical I know, but it's true. I'm very particular about who I am friends with and even more particular about who is allowed in the circle of trust. Here's the thing about my circle, it's HARD to get in, and even harder to stay in. If you are lucky enough to earn my trust you better be prepared to be honest, forthcoming, loyal, and true. Some people find this to hard. Some people want to to be in many circle of trusts, and will jeopardize one for another. It's not that 1 person can't be in more than one circle of trust, you can. It's how you go about obtaining entrance into the circles, that shows your true colors, and therefore makes you potentially unworthy of my circle.

Love all, trust a few

So I shall Mr. Shakespeare, so I shall....

Christmas Party

Last night was Jason's company Christmas party. It was nice. Kinda boring, but aren't they always? Jason won a $50 American Express GC. The food was awesome. Happy Holidays!

I love me some Friday

I've got a busy weekend ahead. Tomorrow I'm working 8-12, tomorrow night is Jason's company Christmas party. Sunday is Church, laundry, and cleaning. Somewhere in there I need to scrapbook. I still have 5 projects to make for Lisa and another lady at work asked me to make a book for her too. I do more crafts for others than I do for myself. Maybe once I get my Christmas gift it'll get me back in the groove.....

Oh Sweet Blog!

I'm so happy to be back. Today was the first day in 3 days I have felt normal. When I was young I never had PMS, now I am a hormonal train wreck for 3-4 days a month. It's insane. Amy warned it would be like this, and it is! Guess what Jason did today? Bought Tampons, yup, all by himself. He went to the store before he picked me up from work. I told him we could wait until I got off work, but he was cool with it. It's amazing the man could watch children come out of my body, yet not buy Tampax. Now he has.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I have internet

Woo-Hoo! The at&t guy is still doing the cable, but we the net. Praise the Lord! I can't wait to start updating my blog, my myspace, paying my bills online. The world is in the palm of my hands again! Yippee!

AGH!

I have been trying to upload pics but blogger is being a butthead! We put up our tree today!! It's so pretty, all silver and blue. It's a nice ending to a STRESSFUL day. AT&T was supposed to come out and install our cable and Internet, but they are lacking brains and messed it up. So they are coming Wednesday. Thankfully I can get (sporadic) wi-fi connections from my neighbors :)

This weekend went by so fast. I was home sick with Jonathan on Thursday and Friday. Saturday Jason and I went Christmas shopping while Savannah was at a b-day party and Jonathan rested. Then today has been hanging out and doing Christmas stuff. It's been a really nice weekend. I'm so excited for Dec. and 2008.

Once I get my net full time I'm going to revamp my blog, so don't think this weird blue stuff is staying. It'll just take me awhile to get it how I want it. I can't wait to get back in the swing of blogging. I didn't realize how much I missed it. Happy Monday to all!

I can't wait for Christmas!!

What The Holidays Mean to You

For you, the holidays are about generosity. You give as much as you possibly can to friends, family, and charity. You celebrate the holidays in an over the top style. If something is cute, you'll buy it. People end up with a lot of gifts from you - and your house is like a holiday wonderland, full of decorations. During the holidays, you feel magical. You love all of the decorations and how happy people are. You like to sit back and take it all in. You think the holidays should be nostalgic and sweet. The holidays bring out your inner child. Your best holiday memories are warm and intimate. You remember special moments more than gifts or parties.

What Do the Holidays Mean to You?

long time no blog!

i wish i had some fabulous excitng news, but no.  same 'ol, same 'ol in the hallock house.  school, work, wash, rinse, repeat.  I'm hoping to post some pics of the kids this weekend.  we'll see if i can get around to it.  i'm a busy girl ya know!  i love ya all!

Football is over! Today was the last game. Woo-Hoo! I will now have my Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights back. Yee-haw. Not to much else going on right now. Counting down until vacation.....

So, not much is new. Had a birthday, you know you're old when most people forget about it. If you remembered then you are not one of the most people, don't e-mail and say "I called!" My mom, dad, and husband remembered guess that's all that matters. Didn't do much for it, the joys of being poor. oh well.

Worked a lot this week. Actually every week I average 43-45 almost every week. Not as bad as the 50-55 at the CS, but agh. If I could stay in my cube and do my job, I'd be in heaven. Why do people have to come into my space with their stupid rules? To many chiefs and not enough Indians, our whole team wants to walk out most of the time. That is why we live for Happy Hour, only 5 more days until happy hour....

Savannah turned 6 on Wednesday. Yup 6! She got a little grey kitten she has named Sara. Sara is a typical cat. She scratches, hisses, and purrs. She's mean as hell to Ki. Poor dog doesn't know what to do. Six....ya, I'm getting old ;)

Thursday was our 11 year wedding anniversary. We didn't do much. Jason inundated me with love e-mails all day. Then we went to dinner. It was nasty, at least we know never to go there again! All in all it was a good day. Here's to another year..or ten...or twenty :0)

Better jet, got laundry to finish, and kids to manage.

29 and Holding......

Happy Birthday To Me
