Today was a SUCKY day

Today just sucked ass in every way you can imagine. In fact, my life really sucks right now. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer. My kitchen really needs to be cleaned tonight but you know what? I don't feel like doing it. I want to put on my PJ's and lie on the couch and watch crappy reality TV shows. I hope that Rock of Love is on or something equally crappy. YEAH! So I think that is what I am going to do. Tomorrow will suck too because I have so much crap to do. Okay, I am off to put on my pajamas and my new glasses. Did I mention they are from the J-Lo collection? Dudes, our eye insurance only covers places like Wal-Mart, there isn't a whole lot to choose from. I wear my J-Lo glasses with pride.

I'll Be Back Soon

I have had some requests for a new post. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I am sorry that I have not posted in a few days. As you all know, JASON IS HOME! And he was sick and it was a huge pain in the ass. But now he is well. I am so tired so I will post more tomorrow. But I wanted you all to know that I am still here and I will be back tomorrow.

Childhood Pets

My favorite childhood pet was my Boston Terrier named Stinky. Her real name was Bonnie Brooke, but it morphed into Stinky because that is what my brother called her and it stuck. We got her when I was 7. My brother went and bought her after my mom distinctly told him not to. Oh well! We all adored Stinky and were glad that Neal disobeyed. Sadly, we had to have her put to sleep when I was about 20 and we all miss her still.
Before that, we had another Boston Terrier named Jill. But I called her Ficky because I was only 2 and trying to say she was "Frisky." Ficky disappeared one day and I remember my mom driving Neal and I around the neighborhood while we looked high and low and yelled "FFIIIIICCCKKKKYYYYY!" at the top of our lungs. Next came another Boston named Dolly, but we all called her Sweetie for some reason. I have no idea why my family names an animal one thing and calls them something different (we also had a cat named Murray, but we called him Kitty. Shitty Kitty to be exact). Anyway, Sweetie disappeared just like Ficky and that is what led to Stinky. RIP, Stinky. I miss you.
I also remember my friends pets. Such as:
Misty, the Carpenter's Collie.
Bonnie, the Depp's Chocolate Lab
Tooney and Andrew, the Middleton's Bostons. And of course, Josephine the Black Lab
Jacques, the Healey's Poodle
Muffin, the Abercrombie's Golden Retriever
Annabelle, an obnoxious little shithead black dog that belonged to Elizabeth Bullock's grandmother. She bit me on the leg and it freaking HURT.

Anyway, that is my little trip down memory lane regarding pets.

Food For Thought

I have never been one of those pregnant women who has cravings for pastrami on rye with peanut butter and olives or one that wakes her husband up at 3:30 in the morning to go fetch her a Nacho Bell Grande, but when I was pregnant with Caroline I did find myself purchasing and eating a lot of apples. Apples are not something that are often on my grocery list when I am not in a family way, in fact I very rarely eat them. After Caroline was born, I went back to my normal non-apple eating habits. When I was pregnant with William, I don't recall eating a lot of apples but I did want a lot of tuna salad sandwiches, much to Jason's dismay. Now here I am pregnant again with what appears to be another female (if she is actually a he, I feel sorry for him because he is missing some very important body parts) and here I am eating apples again! I bought a whole bag of them yesterday. So, does me being pregnant with a girl = mass apple consumption? Hmmmm.

Welcome Back, Kotter!

Guess what! After working in Alabama since the middle of September 2007, Jason Darrel Creech is returning home tomorrow! We are all very, very excited. I am especially excited for Caroline and William because they have really missed their dad. I am excited too, but a little less than the kids because this means I will have to start cooking dinner again.
In other news, tomorrow is Caroline's 100th Day of School! To celebrate, everyone had to bring 100 of something, but it could not be too big (because they are going to graph the objects) and the objects cannot roll. Based on these descriptions, I am guessing bringing 100 tires is out. Or 100 sausage links because they might roll off the plate. Caroline brought 100 heart shaped red hots. Small, easy to graph, and tasty!

RIP Heath Ledger

I am sad to hear about Heath Ledger's death. Not only was he incredibly hot, it is always sad to hear of a young person dying. And his little girl, Matilda, is only 2 years old.

Heart Attack on a Plate

Today I cleaned out my closet. I am not 100% finished, but pretty close. My children were getting antsy so we all got dressed and decided to go to lunch and then see the Veggie Tales movie.
For some reason, I have been wanting to eat at Bennigan's lately. I think this is for 2 reasons: #1 being that several years ago when I worked at EMC Mortgage in Irving, TX, my co-workers and I ate at Bennigan's a lot because it was really close to our office. I really liked the Turkey O' Toole sandwich and I ate lots of them when I was pregnant wih Caroline. I have not eaten there since we left Texas and I have been wanting a Turkey O'Toole lately. #2 We had a Bennigan's almost right across the street from our apartment complex in Ft. Worth and again, when I was pregnant with Caroline, we got take out from there a lot.
So today I decided it was time to go to Bennigan's again. I went in with the plan to get a Turkey O' Toole. But some kind of power took over me while looking at the menu and I decided on a whim to get the Monte Cristo sandwich. My friend Wendy used to talk about them a lot and I suddenly decided that I needed to try one! OH.MY.GOD. It was so freaking gross. I did eat part of it because I was starving but I could practically feel my arteries clogging as I ate it. What the hell? It is like a ham and turkey and cheese sandwich wrapped in a beignet. Ugh. I literally felt nasty for consuming even part of it. And Bennigan's was really gross and we will never return there ever again. However, our waiter Logan was really sweet and Caroline and William did get shamrock cookies.
The Veggie Tales movie was pretty cute. William fell asleep for part of it and Caroline was excited to see a little girl from her school and her family came and sat next to us. Then when we got home, a package from Gap had arrived with some baby clothes that I ordered for Emily. Which was a nice surprise because I did not expect a package on MLK Day! The little onesies are tiny and pink and oh-so-cute. I can't wait until my baby girl gets here!
