And Here We Go!!!

It is now 2:08 AM. I had a very long day... Obviously... But not too bad. C and L were out of school today. Did I mention that L made the A/B honor roll? Cici is failing math, English, and Texas History. I am going to volunteer her time for tutoring after school for math. The teacher stays and does it every day except Wednesday I believe... I am proud of them both, for different reasons... Anyway, it was teacher's in-service day or something. So I only had to get the little ones ready for school. That went fairly smoothly. Except for all the winter coats are God knows where so I had to super bundle them because it got cold today! I have been stopping at Thrift Town the last few days to see what kind of stuff I could find cause I am trying to super budget while I get caught up on stuff. I stopped again today after work/before getting them from daycare. I found them some more sweatshirts and pants. I only spent 12.60 with my coupon. :) And I got a big bag full of stuff! I also went to Target this evening and found C & L each a sweatsuit and got a few turtle necks and jeans for the kiddos. Not everything from the thrift store... :) But they are just so rough on clothes! And they paint and all at school so I don't want to spend a lot at this age on clothes. I am finally learning to leave that Dillard's card alone! But I have to get them ready for the cold weather. It's not optional... :(
After work, stopped by KFC. I again forgot to take something out to eat. Plus I was really tired after work. I also felt kind of frustrated. Surely because I was tired. So I decided to go to the movies. I had a free ticket from my movie watcher club membership that was going to expire on 10- 16 so I decided to use it to see the movie "9". I thought it was pretty good. It is strange, kind of sad... But that's Tim Burton for you. He actually didn't write it, only produced it...
I found a really cool screen saver on the laptop. It's of this dead tree. It's in black and white and it made me think of a poem I want to write. I haven't finished it yet. Still working out the details on what I want to say. But it was kind of inspiring. Weird, I know...
Husband called me today from his cell phone! That's awesome! Our international rates are a nightmare. The last cell phone bill had 104.00-ish in international roaming charges on it plus the regular bill... But it was so worth it to talk to my honey. He didn't sound as tired today. Thought he was kidding with me when he told me a story about someone named "Harry Johnson"...
I found out that my husband sent me flowers and per FTD they were delivered on 10-02 and signed for by someone named Jose??? Well, after much ado, they are going to reship the order to me and I should have it on Tuesday.
Things are coming up so fast... The FRG Xmas party planning meeting is tomorrow. MM's baby girl's b-day party is tomorrow. Work all week except for on the 15th I have to take Bruiser to get the tubes taken out of her tear ducts. I can't wait to talk to the doctor cause she is still getting the gunk in her eyes but I think it may be because she has been sick.
Everyone is getting better, by the way! That is such a relief.
I got a letter from TCC saying I need to complete another 4 hours lab science to qualify for graduation... I could have sworn I'd met all requirements so I have to call them up as well. Picture day for the little ones is on Monday. Ellie's is on the 15th. Cici already had hers... Pic of C on way to the hubby in a care package. Jo's party is next Saturday. I am not ready for it at all. Gotta complete costume... She has a Trueblood theme so you have to come as a vampire or a character from the show. Then the 24th is Boo at the Zoo. There's probably some stuff I am missing but...
I can't find my black glasses and I need to order new lenses for both hubby and I. There is no telling where those are if the kids got a hold of them. I am on my last pair of contacts. I mailed off a care package for Halloween to hubby today along with a card. I hope he gets them. He got yesterday the 2nd shipment I sent him. But still no laptop. USPS said cant do insurance claim til past 30 days. Hopefully it's collecting dust there and will be placed in hubby's hands soon.
I think my insomnia may be wearing off. I was waiting for the laundry while I was up... But I am starting to get sleepy.
Next week I must make a commitment to remember to take out something to cook. I know I will be tired but... I can't afford the fast food anymore. That includes going out to lunch. I haven't had any left overs lately to take to work with me...
ok. I am outta here. Goodnight. And remember, my love, I am always thinking of you...
