We colored eggs today and they turned out really well. We tried the Tie Dye stuff this time. It was nice because you could put the dye in a bag with the egg and rub the color in. As you can see, we still got a lot of dye on our hands.
No one liked their cakes, even though they both requested them. Sam wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and Josh wanted confetti cake with white frosting and sprinkles on top. I spent most of the afternoon making these cakes and decorating them as Spider-Man and putting the sprinkles in the form of "Josh". Do you think any of them appreciated the hard work I put in? The only one that did was Matthew, he loved the cake. Sam picked at his, Josh all of a sudden didn't like confetti (he just wanted sprinklers on top), Ben doesn't like cake (but still complained that he never got his cake on his birthday) and Eric is trying to lose weight so he didn't have any.
I went to bed last night very disappointed and pissy. How is it that you work so hard raising your kids to be respectful and good and they end up being soooooo ungrateful? Josh wanted more presents and I just wanted to throw away everything!! Sam complained that he didn't get any money in his card from Grandma and Grandpa. HE GOT A PS2 GAME AND A SUPERHEROES BOOK(which is pretty awesome, if you ask me), but still wanted money! It embarrasses me and I feel like such a failure.
I'm finished. I just needed to let out some frustrations. And since I'm blogging again, you guys get to hear it...sorry. If anything, you won't feel alone or you'll appreciate your kids more because they don't do it.

Oh, yeah, the kids didn't have school today :)
Hope you all are staying sane today!!

Here's some pictures of the wind damage our little town had last night. What a crazy night!! This first picture is my BIL and SIL's house and shingles is what caused their damage. SHINGLES!!! It was that windy. The second story damage was one of my nephew's rooms. Luckily, my SIL grabbed all the kids and went downstairs before it happened. His bed is right against that wall. Pretty scary.
I just went around town taking pictures. Never thought I would be "one of those people" :) My niece called this morning to see if we were ok because we live fairly close to my BIL's. We are, but she's in Cincinnati and wanted to see all the damage. So, of course, I'm taking these pictures for her...not for my blog :)
Some people still didn't have electricity. Can't be because of these downed wires. Thank God there wasn't any kids walking to school and wanted to check out the tree.
Surprise...surprise...Josh is wearing some kind of costume. Hope your 2008 is the best ever!!!
| You Should Have a White Christmas Tree |
 For you, the holidays represent joy and sprituality. The true meaning of Christmas is important to you - even if you're not religious. The holidays are a time of reflection for you. You like to spend time thinking about what's important in life. Your white tree would look great with: Bright, bold ornaments You should spend Christmas Eve watching: The Nativity Story What you should bake for Santa: Sugar cookies - served up with a tall glass of milk |
| You Should Have a Blue Christmas Tree |
 For you, the holidays represent a time of calm, understanding, and peace. You avoid family fights, and you don't get too stressed out - even when things are crazy! You like to make Christmas about making everyone's life a little bit better. You don't get caught up in greed or commercialism. You're too sincere for that. Your blue tree would look great with: Lots of silver tinsel You should spend Christmas Eve watching: It's a Wonderful Life What you should bake for Santa: Chocolate chip cookies |
| You Are a Christmas Sweater! |
 Over the top, colorful, and totally flashy. You're not afraid to be a little tacky. |
I have nothing to say except happy 101st entry to me. I'd like to do one of those "101 things about me", but I think I might only have about 30. I'd probably be celebrating my 200th by the time I finished it.
Have a great day everyone!!!!
This has been very difficult coming up with 30 things to be thankful for. And I'm a very thankful kind of person. So here's the last 4 things I'm thankful for...
27. Zoloft...it makes me sane.
28. DVR - it's wonderful being able to tape a program and not worry about it.
29. My digital camera - love taking pictures and putting them on my blog.
30. Email - I love the fact that I can talk to Eric all day long by emailing him. If you ever need to contact me, send me an email.
15. Eric's family. We had Thanksgiving at my in-laws on Thursday. It was really nice. Everyone was there including his sister and her family from PA. You never know what kind of family you're marrying into and I'm very blessed. Eric has a great family, very close. Eric has 2 brothers and 3 sisters so obviously there's a lot of people at get togethers. Thank God I'm already used to big families.
16-26 My friends. I have very close friends that know my inner thoughts and fears. I have other friends that I love to hang out with, but I'm not as close to them. I have friends that I've lost touch with and miss them terribly. I have friends that need an "older" friend who's been through what they are going with. I have great friends that give great hugs and let me cry on their shoulder. I have many Godly friends that God works through. I have wonderful friends that call me because they know I have a hard time keeping in touch (you know who you are). I have friends that are family members too, which is just an added bonus. I have the best friends any girl could ask for. I'm very blessed...
10-12. My crazy family...if you knew my family, I wouldn't have to say anymore, but most of you don't. I have a his, hers, ours, and then another his kind of family. So #10 is my dad's kids. I have 3 brothers and one sister. One lives in Norwalk, another in Sandusky, one in Dayton and the other in Avon Lake. Unfortunately we don't see each other that much, but I am thankful that when we do, it's really nice spending time with them. I love hearing about their life especially the nieces and nephews. When my dad died, I thought for sure I would never see them, but we do and I'm very happy about that.
My #11 is my mom's kid, my brother. He lives in Plymouth. I haven't seen him in a long time. We've always had a good relationship when we do see each other though.
My #12 is my newest addition to my crazy family...Gary's kids. I now have 3 more brothers and a sister to add to my "collection" :) As I said before, Gary has been such a blessing to my family. His kids have really blessed us too. I've added nieces and nephews too, which is always fun. I love the colorful family I have. Wouldn't it be nuts to get a family portrait of all three families with Eric, me and the boys? I'm the only one that is connected to all of them.
