Well here it is...2 days after i got the book and I should be done with it at the rate I've been going...hahaha!!! Anyways, seriously, had I not had the normal house work and Tyler and the other million things, I'd probably be done...lol...but anywho...I'm up to chapter 12 and well I'd really be further today but we took the afternoon and went for a walk, and then to Eric's office for a bit, and then a few places together...then we had a family movie while we ate.....so yeah, maybe I'll catch a few more chapters before I go to bed tonite...but that's my progress...glad that Nicki is supposed to send out the next book in the am, 'cause I'm going to need it all too soon!!! hahaha!!!!!!! Later y'all!!!

today I woke up barely in time to tell Tyler goodbye as he was already up and ready for school himself...wow, I really slept through the alarms today...lol


Then I went back to bed and finally woke up at about 10 am and my day just seemed to start like yesterday...I folded a load of laundry and put it away while watching tv...then I watched an episode of the OC...then Eric came home for lunch.....wow this all sounds familiar...I know right...lol


Anyways, then after lunch I read 2 more chapters of Eclipse!!! YEAH, I'm through chapter 5 now!!


Tyler's down to only 1/2 days of school tom. and fri....of course he's excited by this, and I'm not sure...LOL


Well, tonite I'm going to read a little more and watch clean house at 10pm tonite 'cause they are starting the 7 messiest houses across 7 states thing...anywho...it's on the style channel...I've really become addicted to that show...LOL

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Eclipse ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

So today has been a rather productive day...YEAH!!! I got up this morning, watched some tv while folding a couple baskets of laundry and put that away...Then had lunch with Eric. After lunch, I dusted the house...and then the electric went out...UGH UGH UGH...buttttt it came back on about 20 min. later, so I cleaned the bathroom...fun fun! After that, I sat down and watched 2 episodes of the OC...I'm still in the 2nd season...but they were really good episodes!!! Tyler came home from school, I made a peroggi casserole dish with ham, broccoli, mushrooms, & alfredo...it was really good!!! :) Oh and before dinner...I checked the mail and yup.....ECLIPSE came today from my friend Nicki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So of course my plans is to dive right in!!! hee hee hee!!!!!! YEAH, My Life is back with ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!!! LOL talk to you all later!!! :)

Advil Cold & Sinus is my friend...LOL

So over the past 3 days Advil Cold & Sinus has been my best friend, along with some awesome cough syrup with codine in it...LOL...needless to say, after babysitting the girls on Friday night, my weekend turned into me getting sick with a sinus cold...and here it is Monday and I've spent 99% of my weekend in my bed, sleeping...lol...awesome!!!

Otherwise, things are going alright, can't wait to get the old landlords paid off so they get off our back about it...and it's putting a lot of financial stress on us as well having to pay them...ugh!!!

I've almost given up on Eclipse...I'm really hoping it comes in the mail today...my friend said she mailed it last week...so I'm really really hoping...'cause I'm pretty much insane right now at this point wondering what is going to happen.....ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Yup, I'm one of those twilight freaks...hahaha!!!

As for the OC, as my brother asked in a comment on my last post...I am still way behind...lol...in season 2 still...and just finished watching episode 13...where Marissa kisses Alex.......I'm still not sure about that.....wow....and where Lindsay is about to be adopted and then Julie has to butt her self-centered self into it all...lol...anyways...I know y'all don't wanna hear about my OC drama ... but hey it's either OC or Twilight...LOL...and since I can't read at the moment...it's OC...hahaha!!!

Tyler started his last week of school today...he's excited for school to be over...but I'm not sure why they are going this last week...no spelling words, no tests...because Thursday and Friday are 1/2 days...he said they did some papers this morning but nothing that would be graded and then read books and watched movies all afternoon...wow, looks like he's in for just a fun week at school...LOL...alrighty then...I don't remember the last FULL WEEK of school being like that..maybe the last couple of days...but hey....I'm not the teacher...so alrighty then...lol

Tyler's in the living room right now playing Final Fantasy X and Eric's still at work...thought I'd sit down and fill everyone in on my exciting life right now and take a few min. to relax at the computer...at least I'm not in bed...like I've been most of the weekend...one more day and just maybe I'll be back up and oon my feet again!!!!! :)

Life lately.....

Hey everyone!! I know, I know...where have I been lately!! Well, I could probably write a novel to update everyone as to what's been happening here in SUNNY Lousiana these days! ha ha ha Over the past week or so we've been pretty busy and just kinda living life as it comes at us all!

Tyler, is into his last 2 weeks of school and very excited about that fact! His last day is May 22nd, and he is just getting more antsy by the day for it to be here! He's doing very well in school as well, keeping his grades in GREAT shape and just loving his teacher and things that have been going on there! He got a good behavior award last week and got to participate in the extra special WET & FUN inflatable WATERSLIDE time that the school provided for the kids that have had such awesome behavior! He's made a few friends at school, but none that he's had over yet, I hope that changes soon, as he's really hoping to be able to have some friends over this summer after we come back from our time in Ohio!

Eric's been hard at work each day, keeping busy with inventories and ordering all the supply shortages. He's had several change of command ceremonies lately and yet another one to come in June, so he's been dealing with all of those preparations. There has been talk about his higher ups sending him to the board sometime in June or July this summer, for a promotion from E-5 to E-6. This would be wonderful, as he'd receive a pay increase! The downfall is he also receives more responsibilities for this as well, but I think that would all be do-able as well, just something to get used to.

I have been keeping busy with keeping the house clean and doing laundry. Helping Tyler with homework and fixing dinner and just doing all the things a house wife/stay at home mom does, but I'm getting used to it and loving it more and more each day! I've been working on putting some photo collages together to hang up, and finding out I need some more collage frames when we get the extra money because I didn't get to put all the pictures in these ones that I've done so far, but I have gotten 3 done and ready to hang soon, so that excites me!

My Mother's Day was probably the best day I've had since we moved here! Woke up to Tyler giving me the things he made me at school, which was very sweet!!! The traditional coupon booklet with things and a letter he wrote me, as well as a paper he filled out about all the things he loves about his mom!! Definitely was wonderful to read each thing!! :) Eric took me to lunch at what's become my favorite place to eat here, called Catfish Junction. It's a restaraunt that features many southern, cajun, Louisiana greats!! Gumbo, Catfish, Crawfish, ALLIGATOR, frog legs, and just so many different things, as well as steak, chicken, and wow, it just keeps going! I tried alligator and absolutely loved it as well that day! Then we just kinda drove around and when we got home my friend Diedra gave us a call to tell us they were going to do the "waterslide" again this weekend, since we missed it the 1st weekend they did it...and so we headed over there about 4ish and well...we didn't come home and start showers for bed until 10ish...lol...needless to say 6:30 came for Tyler Monday morning and he was NOT ready to wake up and grace the world with his presence for school, but he did!! LOL The pictures for this event are on my myspace as well as if you go to my videos there are 2 there of the event as well!! We spent most of the evening on the waterslide and we grilled out and then had a fire and roasted marshmallows and made s'mores!! Overall the day was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting excited some to come back to Ohio in June, just totally DREADING the long drive Tyler and I face ahead. Wish Eric was able to travel with us, but he just can't get away from work right now or else he'd come too. Tyler and I will be in Ohio 2-3 weeks...I'll be in Ohio 1 week less than he will as one of my weeks will be spent in Indiana at a church camp with Bayda to lead praise & worship to the jr. high kids, so I'm very excited about that as well!! Then we'll get to see everyone we can, and Tyler will be able to spend time with his friends and family, then it'll be the long trip back home here to Louisiana!! But the good news that follows that is... When we get back, Eric gets to take block leave time from July 1st through the 15th, so we'll get to spend time with him and he won't have to work!! We are very excited about this, as we're talking about taking a trip to the beach down on the Gulf and just take some time for ourselves, we may go up to Oklahoma and visit our friends from there as well...just whatever we do we'll be together doing it!! :)

Then we'll have to start back into normal days after the 15th of July, as Eric will be back to work, but Tyler will be home for a few more weeks before school starts up. Looks like we have a BUSY summer ahead!

Well, I think I'm going to go for now, but just wanted everyone to get caught up to date on what we've been up too!!! Talk to you all again soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SLUGS.......Yes, I mean the slimy things outside...

SLUGS...slug is a name for a terrestrial gastropod, now you'r 1st question is probably what the heck is a gastropod...well I looked it up for you, so we'll go there first...

a gastropod is a memeber of the gastropoda class, which is the largest and most successful of the mollusks. Most have shells that are coiled or spiraled, like snails, but in some forms, such as slugs or sea slugs, the shells are either reduced or just non-exsistant.

So, slugs have a thin plate that is embedded into their tissue, they also have a distinct head with a mouth, tentacles that bear eyes, and a lung for breathing air. They move over a trail of slime, which they secrete. They glide out to feed at night, because they need cool and moist climate to live.

Ok, I know you're probably asking yourself, what in the world am I getting at right? LOL Well, it's like this...........those nasty slimy creatures are everywhere on my side porch at night......YUCK!!! LOL On a normal night there are between 3 to 7 ranging in size...and their secretion trails of slime, stay there......again....YUCK!!!!!

I have found out that they drowned in beer, and well they shrival up if you pour salt on them because it dehydrates their body...opps...yes I've tried the salt thing...lol...sorry....

anyways...

Just thought I'd vent a little about these annoying little nasty and slimy things...and also, grace you all with a pic of one of the larger ones I've had on my porch. (although he's not the biggest one I've had out there...lol)

Myspace

Hey everyone...so today I finished up most of the cleaning I still needed to do around the house, except vaccum, but I'll do that tomorrow!

Today I basically spent on this computer here, changing around my myspace page and I'm still not done with it...lol...but go check it out and let me know what you think!! :)

Hope you all are having a good day!!!

Ate at a restraunt called Catfish Junction tonite that has a lot of awesome Cajun and seafood dishes, you find a lot of places down here like that, but this one was really good, and not all that expensive really for the 3 of us to eat considering the meals we got!! :)

Well, again i'm not happy with y'all who are reading or have read Eclipse 'cause I really wanna read it...but ya know....

I'll check in with y'all tomorrow!!! That's all for now folks!!!

MIA....I Know...lol

So, I have a lot to write about since I didn't post anything ALL WEEKEND!!!! Opps!!! Sorry y'all!!!

Saturday we got up early and went to the Post Carnival, Tyler played some games there and played in the inflatable things like the obstacle course and things...(pics are on my myspace)...after that, we headed to the Mayfest in downtown Leesville, that was pretty sweet too...they dedicated a parking lot to be the block of chalk...where you could go in and just draw anything you wanted with sidewalk chalk...it was pretty kewl, didn't matter how old or young you were...it was sweet, you just signed your name and age and took different colors...(pics on myspace too)...Tyler aslo got a temporay airbrush tattoo of a dragon, and also got one of those pop guns that has the cork thing on the end you pop out...he really likes it...then I got to have CRAWFISH for dinner...YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! (that of course was awesome)

As for all you who are reading Eclipse....I DON"T LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW.......I still haven't gotten my hands on a copy of it...I'm going insane and getting mad...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Sunday we went to church on post...it was a protastant service, and it wasn't bad...the message that is...but I can't stay there...they only do communion once a month, no classes for kids over the age of 6 during the sermon...but...the praise team....ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it has its good and bad......but will I ever find one like FCC???? I've been to all the ones on the list John Reed gave me except the one that's an hour and a half away...and the one I can't find anywhere and they never answer their phone...but anywho......I just want to find something........

Today...well, it's supposed to be cleaning day...ha ha ha ha...that's all i gotta say...I dusted...and swept the laundry/pantry room and the foyer...and that's as far as cleaning got today...LOL...washed and dried a few loads of laundry but didn't fold or put them away....really I sat on this computer most of the day and did absolutely NOTHING...lol...we're all entitled to a day like that right? LOL

The lizard was in front of my house...lol...he's cute!!! LOL

Well I hope you all enjoyed my catch up blog!!! Talk to you all later!!!

Here Today...

Well, I woke up this morning, got a shower...and I'm feeling alright...my stomach is still bothering me, but I got stuff I gotta do today...sick or not...LOL

I definitely feel better today than I did yesterday, so that's a good thing!!! Not sure what it is and why I haven't been feeling so good!! :(

So, other than being sick, I guess things are pretty good...

Oh yeah...we cancelled the Spider-Man Monopoly Game...I was winning anyways so it's all good...ha ha ha...we are going to play this Monopoly Tycoon DVD game this weekend...we were going to play that originally, but Tyler was already in bed and you have to have at least 3 players...that's definitely a new rule for Monopoly...LOL...all the others are 2 to 6...this one's 3, 4 or 5.....I'll let everyone know what we think of this version...

I have chili in the crock pot already to simmer all day for dinner tonite...I have enough....coming for dinner? LOL

Well, I'm going to go try and fold the couple loads of laundry I didn't do yesterday since I was in bed all day...LOL....I'll catch up with everyone later!!!!
