The end of the week and one day till Steve comes home. He hasn't had a really good trip so he is ready to come home and we ARE ready for him to come home!!!

I made a deal with Riley earlier in the week that if he got an A+ on his spelling test this week he could watch TV on Friday... I guess I should tell the beginning of the story too. The rule at our house is he has to bring his spelling list each time he comes here for visitation or he loses a night of TV. Well, one time last week he didn't bring his spelling list which was going to take away TV for today. So, I made the deal with him about getting an A+ and getting his TV back. Well, Ashley texted me earlier in the week that he wasn't studying so I was expecting him not to get the A+. But color me wrong.... he got in the truck tonight and was proudly displaying an A+! Good Job Riley!!! So, I bet you can't guess what he is doing right now!!!

The kids and I went to McDonalds tonight. For some crazy reason it sounded good. It never seems to taste good coming back up all night but it did taste good going down! Then after supper I wanted to come home but the kids didn't seem to be real interested in that. So I needed to go to Big Lots for some new dog bowls. And Piper seemed up for a little trip so we went to Big Lots. All the kids listened very well and all got a few treats! The big kids were funny - they wanted pencils and pens. So, how can you pass up pencils and pens as their treat! I got Piper an Easter basket. It is cute and I am excited about Easter this year. Big Lots had some cool Easter decorations. I think I need some mom time to go just check out the stuff.

We are suppose to go to Chuck E Cheese on Sunday with Nate and Lillie. I hate Chuck E Cheese pizza. It sucks so bad! I was thinking about send Steve with all the kids and taking some mom time but I really want to see Piper at Chuck E Cheese. She liked it at Christmas time - I bet she will really like this time. I kinda hate to miss it. But man after the last couple of months I have had and the last week - it would be nice to just sit and read! And plus I could avoid shitty Chuck E Cheese pizza!!!

I was able to walk the dogs tonight. But not too far. But at least they got a bit of a walk in.

Ashley shoveled the driveway off tonight and I did the sidewalk. Then right after I got in from doing the sidewalk it started snowing again! Great.

One of my friends at work said to me today that it was nice to see me more relaxed and more like myself! I told him thank you!
