:(

We got another wedding invitation in the mail today :(. I swear, this is making me nuts!

wedding invitations :(

I am kinda sad today. I got an invitation to another friend from home's wedding :( I think this makes wedding number 6 that Nick and I wont be able to make it to. It is kinda sad. And today is the beautiful Sara's birthday. I have missed both of her birthdays since I have been here. 11 months to go, :(

A good weekend... minus the throw up in my car!

I had so much fun last night. Friday Nick and I went to the movies, I think I blogged about it. It was nice spending time with my honey for a change! I went to Nick's classmate's house last night to watch the LSU football game. It was a pretty good turn out, about ten of us. The couple who's house we were at last night are so funny. Right when I got there someone said something about a baby being in a closet. I of course asked what they were talking about and the mother yells "don;t judge me!" I started to laugh thinking she was joking but come to find out, her 18 month old was indeed sleeping in the closet. It is the quietest spot in the house. She even made her husband stand in the living room and scream to check to see if he would wake up. Lol.. after the game, my lovely husband lost money in a game of poker. Then we went out in the garage, they have a couch and tv set up out there. I swear I felt like I was back in high school. It was the best. Well by this time everyone but me was drunk. They were taking shot after shot and everyone was seriously lit. The guy who's house we were at tries to ride his 6 year old daughter's barbie bike and then all the guys take turns riding her scooter up and down the street. One of them rode the scooter into a flooded ditch. He did a swan dive trying to make it graceful..It was the funniest shit I have ever seen. I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard....pictures to follow! :) We did not end up leaving until about 4 o'clock in the morning. Nick threw up, (as I predicted he would) in the car.....yea I know, there has been WAY too much throw up in my last few days! Needless to say it was an interesting night full of laughs and good times. This morning when Nick and I went to pick up the car (we drove separate) The mother would not come out of the room because she was so hungover, nick had a bad hangover, and the father was watching the kids, appoligizing (sp?) for jumping in the ditch. lol I really love the people that I have met here and will be sad to leave.
I am trying to book flights to go home at the end of October for our friends wedding and they are super expensive. I just get annoyed because like a week ago they were around 200 bucks less. I hope I get to come home! I read Jordin's blog about Catherine's birthday and I was sad that I missed it. And mom's frivolous shopping, so annoying! I struggle with this. I try to remind myself that it is her money and that she can spend it how she wants but I just worry so much about her. I guess I have always worried about my parents money situation since I was little. It is not like we went without anything, I guess it was from all the fighting when I was little, hearing it, jacked me up in the head. I just want them to have plenty put away and I want my dad to actually retire one day. It's just scary, that's all. I guess they will always have me and my sisters if anything ever happens, God forbid. So I will not say anything else about it :). Anyhoot, I am tired and I still need to clean the clothes off of my closet floor before I go to bed. It seems like this is becoming a nightly thing. I have way too many clothes! Hope everyone has a good week at work/ school. I have decided since Mondays are so dreadful, I will treat myself to a pumpkin spice latte every week to make the day a little better. :) At least until they go out of season, by the way... speaking of season, I made the cutest Halloween cards for my nieces and nephews today. I am so pumped for Halloween, my favorite time of year!!!! I hope I get to carve another pumpkin, it always reminds me of the reulets for some reason.
I will stop now, Jack Johnson is making me sleepy, peace out!

Too many bodily fluids

Today was so gross!!! I had to take two of my kids to the doctor today. They are 1 and 2 years old. I pick them up and get to the doctors office and what happens? The one year old shits all over herself. So I ask for some gloves and go in the bathroom and change her stanky ass diaper. Then right when I finish, I walk out of the bathroom and what else... another stanky ass diaper. I am for another pair of gloves. The two year old had like diarrhea all over the place. It was like they were just waiting for me to pick them up to do this. So I bring her in the bathroom to change her. While I am trying to hold my breath and change her diaper the little one heads for the toilet to put her hands all over it so I run and grab her. We finish and walk in the doctors office. They BOTH start screaming bloody murder, like someone was killing them. For about an hour I listened to them scream and cry. I had to hold one of them down to get a breathing treatment. Then the kid was screaming so much, she throws up ALL OVER ME.... down my shirt and jeans. While I am wiping it up from everywhere, I accidentally stick my hand in it. Then, as if things could not get any worse, they both insist on me holding them. They were using my shirt, with these big pieces of fabric as a snot rag. So at that time I had boogers, throw up and shit all over me. Possibly the most horrendous day of my life... Note to self, NEVER again will I bring kids to the doctor by myself and NEVER will I have kids that close in age. Actually, I am not having kids anytime soon. Too many bodily fluids!

On a cleaner note, Nick and I went to Carrabbas tonight :) YUMO. And we saw the weirdest movie. It was funny but o so weird. It has George Clooney and Brad Pit in it. I am supposed to go out tomorrow night with some work friends and attorney's for the dark side, I shall see... Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I will, the weather has been gorgeous!

I suck at consistency

In case anyone is wondering, I know I suck at blogging... I suck at consistency. I go through spurts of everything! Monday I did card making and cooking, today I cut recipes out of magazines and pasted them to my recipe cards Jenn got me for my wedding, who knows what will be my thing tomorrow.
Last weekend was fun. Some of Nick's friends from school threw an 80's prom party. A friend from work accompanied me to a thrift store and helped me pick out the most obnoxious dress in the store. It had shoulder pads that stuck out about three inches on each side. And for the record... teasing is a bitch. I tried to make my hair big and do the whole bang wave thang. It was hot. I wore way too much blush and very blue eye shadow, Linda 1980's style, if those of you reading this know what I mean! lol
Anyways, I was looking into the teach Louisiana website thing last night and I was getting so stressed out. I think it is going to be harder than I originally assumed it would be. Me and Nick were also throwing around the idea of me moving home on his last internship just because I don;t want to be here again for two months by myself. We could possibly buy a house before he is finished or something. Who knows! I guess in a perfect world I could move home, start school, find a job and live in a house that we buy. It is just so much to think about!!! Life is scary. And it FREAKS me out to think that all of this is possible in only 6 months! I guess we will figure it out, we have to! If anyone has any advise or knows anything about the teach Louisiana program please shoot the info my way.
I am watching this stupid new show on Bravo. It is about this chick who styles for celebrities. Her assistant is freaking out because the other assistant did not organize the dresses correctly from one direction to the other. I want to slap the bitch.
Ok, while I am already bitching I will let people in on a few of my pet peeves... when people put a status on facebook that makes them sound like they are from Plaquemine... I call it plak-min-eese. Example: Sally is going pick up food, Jack is going rent movies....it's like they don't know how to use the word TO! Also, another thing that is so Plaquemine is when people use the back window on their car as gravestones!!!! I don't care who you know that died and neither does anyone else!!! It drives me crazy. And, last one I promise, I am sick of people bitching about the new facebook. If you don't like it, quit using it. That's all ;)
Anyhoot, I guess that's all I have today, 80's prom picks to come!
Oh! I almost forgot, Bon chance (sp?) Jo!!! I hope you get picked to go to France!

A few from this weekend.

Driving down to Ft. Lauderdale, Duncan has to see out of the window.



Nick waiting to play with the big boys. Dad was only happy when he would win! It was so funny.










Duncan hanging out, trying to ignore the crazy people.

What's been going on

This has been a long week. I will start with last week where I left off. I found all of my kids, everything turned out ok. And at this time, I am drawing a blank on anything I did last week :) I love my short term memory. I have been enjoying spending time with Nick now that he is off school, he starts again tomorrow. Work has been good, I left several hours early today. Nick and I went down to Ft. Lauderdale this past weekend to the looney bin. My family is nuts. It was really nice getting to see my dad. They put him and his brother to work on the house almost the whole time I was there. Nick fits in better than me. They played more cards! They made Nick watch them play for hours before he was approved to play. It was funny. Lin and I got to hang out a good bit. We were both PMSing so there was a few squabbles, but we are like sister's, bound to fight sooner or later. Mom told me that they had a lot of people staying at the house through the hurricane. Jamie had a tree on her house, close family friends and neighbors lost a lot, we lost a few shingles, trees and dads new shed. We made out pretty lucky. I guess you don't realize what you have until it could possibly be taken from you. I was really worried. A lot of people said that this hurricane was worse than many they have seen. Thank God everyone is okay and only material things were damaged.
This is totally random, but it seems like everyone I know is pregnant! It is bazarre. Two sister-in-laws, my sister, two c ousins, numerous people at work. I guess it is in the water. Nick told me not to drink any! :)
I bought two new CD's today, Kelly Pickler and Sugarland. I am really digging the Kelly Pickler CD. I would recommend it. I also bought the shampoo and conditioner Jo blogged about recently, I cant wait to try it. Sometimes I feel like I am still a 13 year old girl in Plaquemine, I still enjoy Wal-mart so much as trashy as it may sound. :) I remember when we use to think it was a big deal to hang out at Walmart on a Saturday night. Oh, the innocence! I can only hope my kids will be so sheltered. lol
I am kinds freaking out about going back to school. I was looking some stuff up and realized that I may not be considered a resident when I move back and if so I would have to pay out of state tuition or wait a year. I am trying to figure out a way around this, my only thought was that Nick is still a LA resident and if we are married that may mean I am? I don't know and I don;t want to ask. We will see i guess.
Well, I must go, I have to get my nails done.....

J'espère que tout le monde a une bonne semaine en avant. Pour ceux-là sans le pouvoir, pendre là dedans ! Prendre que Jordin ! :)....freetranslation.com, I failed french people!
