daughters, dances, daily duties and dreams

Today is Friday. That's a good thing. I made it through a week of work and I still have a job. One of my coworkers came back to work today after his like 5th surgery on his spine. I am shocked to see him up and about but his doctor told him he could stay home and die or go out and live. Wow. Walking miracle. He had to have bolts put into his neck and spine due to degenerative spinal disorder. I am so very blessed. Things in my life could be so much worse.
After work, went to see Jennifer's Body. Friggin' halarious. This week has been awesome with me getting a chance to go to the movies so much. It has really kept my spirits up. Thanks for the suggestion, Hubby! You were so right about taking advantage of this time I have.
Cici went to her first school dance tonight. *sigh, sniff, sniff *7th grade Homecoming/40th anniversary of their school. She was so cute. She is such a shy person, it was so sweet to see her friends come up and greet her with hugs. I am glad to see she is mingling with people instead of being a loner. She used to complain about not having any friends so she is truly blossoming. She said she did her "Velma" from Scooby Doo dance and they caught a picture of her for the year book. She is a really good kid, honey. She's struggling with math a bit already. She said she thinks she can pull her grade up. Progress reports showed everything else going well. I swear she's like me in that aspect. I was never a math-nerd either.
Elliebear can do the splits. She has a cheerleader friend at school who has been showing her moves and since Ellie's so flexible, she can do them no problem. It's just a matter of me finding somewhere for her to participate and the time to do it. I helped her with a t-shirt design for orchestra. She seems to be enjoying the violin. She said the teacher really liked our design but she has to make a decision and I guess we'll know Monday.
Went to Best Buy and got Xmen- Wolverine on Bluray. This will make up for that totally awful copy we saw before! :) Also got pizza for dinner. Totally burned out. Didn't feel like cooking. Yeah, I am spending more money than I should on entertainment and fast food but it's either that or my sanity. I am taking your advice, honey! Oh, the new seasons of Dexter and Desperate Housewives start on the 27th! I'm not sure about Lost or Heroes. Just wish you were here to enjoy them with me...
Did another load of laundry. I am going to have a cleaning session, yet again, in the morning. I tried to go to bed early tonight but I kept coughing so it was awful sleep so hopefully now that I have taken some sudafeds on top of the cough syrup, I can get some sleep. And the bruiser wont go to bed. She tossed and turned with me for a while but now she's sitting up with me.
I was hoping to hear your voice, my love. I know you were spending time with the fellas before you attempt to get out of here again, but I so wanted to talk to you again. Maybe you will call me.
I saw something I thought about participating in on the FRG website. Its a family walking program. You walk and log your miles kind of as a tribute to the unit. If the weather permits, I'd like to start back walking with the kids. I know it's about to get cold though so... We may just have to stick to the Y.
I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamed that I took a trip to visit you again and that we bought a motorcycle. I was supposed to bring it home so we attached it to the back of the truck, but it kept falling off. So I had to leave it in this town, I don't know where... Anyway, I took a bus back to the town and then was driving the motorcycle home. What the heck? I will have to look up motorcycles in a dream book to see what that is supposed to mean!
Oh, I put oil in the truck today too. Just hope the weather isn't yucky this weekend. Going to try to enjoy my last short day week next week and stay positive. So far so good but right now, babe, I miss you and that is just a hole I'm digging a bit deeper each day.
I love you, my Seabee man!
