Because I doubt I'll post tomorrow

Happy 4th everyone.

Happy Anniversary Daddio.

I can't believe that the past 12 years have flown by so quickly. And like you say, while it doesn't seem that long ago, it also seems like forever because I just can't imagine what life would be like without you by my side. This is what life is suppose to be like, this is why we just clicked and have been comfortable with each other from day 1.

Love you babe.

Ok, so maybe I'm not still here

Yeesh, has it been that long already?

Part of the issue is that my days are now quite long. I wake up at 4:30 to walk the pup (because anything late in the day would probably burn his paws), I then need to shower, eat breakfast and make lunch to leave by 6:15 in order to catch the 7:00 bus into work. Then after my 8 hours of indebted servitude I hop back on the bus and arrive home sometime between 5:15 and 5:30, eat dinner, speak kind words to my children (except when they need to be reminded that they're children, not savage, unruly brats) maybe watch some television and go to bed.

Oh yeah, I forgot the midnight visits from super-ninja-jungle-attack kitty.

Yeah.

But they're good for the kids.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm still here!!

Ack!

Well my computer at home has decided to lock up within 10 minutes of starting up, so needless to say I haven't been online much. Not sure what's going on with it, but I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually.

I can't say I've been missing it much, a little maybe, but not bunches and bunches. I think it's because the computers are now in a separate room from the television and I can't completely zone out on both at the same time. But I haven't been watching much tv anyway.

Well, maybe I can't say that. I do have a show on Mondays - Chuck- (that I watch on the computer at work on Tues. at lunch), a show on Tuesday -Scrubs- and a couple shows on Wednesday-Ghost Hunters and Top Chef. Then we have a few shows that we record off and on - Ninja Warrior & Unbeatable Banzuke.

Lemme tell ya, the Japanese have awesome game shows. Daddio & I want to visit Japan just go get on a game show. They seem to have so much fun, not to mention getting on the show to fail spectacularly :) If you're going to tank it, might as well do it with as much pizzaz as possible.

Buddy has determined that he's going to be a stay at home dad, writing stories on the even days and going to work as a police officer teacher on the odd days.

Kitty is Kitty and is doing awesome, still excelling in school and becoming more and more pre-teen every day. Not sure if Daddio is up for that yet, but there it is.

That's pretty much it from here. Just wanted to let ya'll know that we haven't fallen off the face of the earth.

A new subject to study in school

Yesterday the kids went back to school after the holidays. While we were sitting down for dinner, I asked them how their first day back was. After the chatter about their days the topic changed to homework and how Kitty was "chit-chatting" with Buddy. We talked about how you can chit-chat while doing your homework as long as the homework was still the focus.

That led into me saying that I use to do my homework while listening to the television. Buddy asked what kind of homework I had. I started listing them off; "Math, biology, english, writing, history, chemistry..."

Without missing a beat, Kitty pipes in, "Pajamatry." Woo!!! I think I like that... the study of pajamas! Actually she had no clue what she thought it was, she had just made it up on the spot.

Kitty also made me a surprise which I will cover in the next post as soon as I get a photo.

Merry Christmas

Our morning went like this:

Momma wakes up to the sounds of little ones talking quietly. She looks at the clock and sees that it's 5 am. Momma is happy that her kiddos didn't wake her up by being loud. Unfortunately the weather is cruddy here and Momma wasn't sleeping well anyway.

Momma walks down the hallway and says to her children,"Since you're up, why don't we check and see if Santa has come."

Kitty immediately says,"He did come."

"Oh, how do you know that?"

"I checked. At 4."

Sheesh. At least they didn't wake me up at 4.

Now if it would just stop raining.

Been awhile

It's amazing how much time a commute will take up that you're not use to. Pretty much 2 hours a day is taken up driving to and fro. I can't wait until they create the car that will just automatically drive for me.

I pretty much just wanted everyone to know that we're still here and kicking.

Buddy mentioned today that he hoped one of his presents under the tree was a Guitar Hero guitar. Um, he's never mentioned that before. We don't have any of the GH games. This just proved to Daddio & I that Buddy wants EVERYTHING that he sees on TV.

Last week he asked for a Chia Pet. Erm, no.

He also says now that he's going to be a police officer teacher when he grows up.

Kitty is doing well. She's a cookie-making ace these days. Heck, she even took them out of the oven. Yes, Momma Huni supervised. I wasn't quite willing to have her do it by herself completely yet.

She got mostly A's on her report card this term with only 1 B. And she's very much 9 now. The next few years should prove to be interesting. Thankfully she's still wanting to be a little kid in some ways. I'm totally ok with that.

As for Daddio & I, we're working on a few story ideas. We're hoping that one of us will complete something this spring. I'm not holding out any hope that it'll be me as I can get approximately 15 words written a day on average. Haha.

I'm hoping to have Christmas pictures up by the end of the week. My camera decided to go all crappy on me and didn't save any of the pictures I've taken in the last month. I'm really bummed. Guess I'll just have to slowly take over Daddio's camera.

Here's to the holidays, which ever you may celebrate.

The best thing I heard today

Buddy: Momma, I was going to bring you home a piece of candy, but I accidentally ate it.

Awwwwwwwww

I love my kiddos!!
