No one wants to see martha?

Why is it that Everyone I asked if they wanted to go to NY ......has excuses!

I know its a pricey couple of days/day BUT hello ....... Why doesnt anyone want to see her LIVE !
I have to let them know by Monday, which is the day after the superbowl, and the day J skates at bay state games.

Thinking of skating..... I just hope she KICKS ASS this weekend. Her coach is also the coach for , i think, 6 other girls who are also going. They are skating against each other. Which sucks! You only get a jacket if you get Gold, and If I know J she will be pissed along with her Mommy ( my sister) if all the girls get jackets except J. I just hope she get a gold in one of the two events she skates in. Sometimes when she skates... I think others try to out smart her by putting her practices down... or her costume/dress... or her hair.... or they just ignore her for the day. i feel bad...she is ONLY 9 . I just wonder if others want the other girls to win more than her since she doesnt jump up and down when she sees them !!??

[I hope that made sense !]

MARTHA !!!!

Maybe you remember my visit to Martha Stewart in December 2006 .

All I got was a cheese book!

I just received my email from them again... that i get tickets to the Feb 19th show ( 10 am) LIVE !!!!

S already said she can NOT go... But L is all in !

L's friend might take the extra ticket ( she has some connections for good deals on hotels and such ...)

I have to email them back by the end of the week.

I am so excited...but I cant seem to find a cheap way to get to NYC ??!!

Missing...but not forgotten

I know..I havent been blogging in a long time. I just havent been feeling up to it.

Maybe its because I am just in a funk. I just have this winter thing. If the sun isnt shining ..I get depressed.

I need to get out of this !! I just need to get up early...and get the day going. i am taking this weekend off... and I will be back to blogging on Monday !

snow day

Let it snow...

Let it snow..

Let it snow !!!

All three girls had a snow day ... we had a nor'easter. It is the pretty snow ..the kind that sticks to the trees and brings down the power lines!

17,000 people are still without power and it is now 4pm in the afternoon.

It was heavy and hard to move...but the sidewalk, the driveway, and the street ( well my part at least) is done.

I love to have a huge glass of OJ when I come in from shoveling..what do you like?

I will have to sometime this week make a nice pot of potato soup ( YUM YUM) .

its been crazy couple of days

where to begin... I have been sick for a few days. I pulled a muscle in my leg. And I have spent in the past week ---3 days in a skating rink. ( wonder why I am sick ?)

J and A had a skating competition on Saturday the 5th. J got a 1st and 2nd ..not bad for her first time in FS3. A came in 5th and 1st in Pre-Alpha. I posted her program in artistic on youtube. she was very excited and sent it to her coach to watch to see if maybe she did anything wrong since she came in second. BUT no--nothing she sad she did the best she has even seen. Problem is she skated against one of her coaches other students and that girl came in first--so what is she going to say ????


Then J had a USFSA test on friday..she passed thank GOD !!! she was testing again with her two other "friends" . all three passed !!

B has been doing good at school too well that is excep for Sunday school. her teacher tells her some strange things. " Heaven has no food"...so B came home and said "Mom that doent sound like a fun place...I am going to be hungry and will he share his food with me?"
teacher also says...' when you dont listen to your parents and act up...thats the devil inside you"

Funny story for the day....... MTV Made was at a skating competition in October 2007 and they filmed a piece on becoming a figure skater. and today was the debut !!!! Guess what I made the cut...I was in the stands with her family cheering her on !!

wow--- is 2008. does it really feel any different then 2007.





I slept in the same sheets, washed my hair with the same shampoo, and drove the same car but somehow its should be a big holiday and drink alcohol and celebrate !!!



Went shopping to get another new phone.... you know the one from crazy bestbuy. The phone had no dial tone unless you hit the speaker button twice every time you wanted to use the phone. CRAZY !! But no one ( MOM or DAD ) will not say who broke it. It was working fine for the first day and then?? I am not buying another one.. this is the third phone in less than a week. You break another phone...and oh well... use the old one with no caller ID ! I know I sound harsh..but.... I am sick of returning phones and I am going to run out of places to buy them .

I have started drinking hot boiling water for a new drink. I am sick of Tea and this just seems like summer when you drink cold icy water. It warms your hands..but it gives you the benefits of water.

J and A have skating competition on Saturday . I hope everything goes well and that they are not disappointed in how they are treated since this is the old rink/boss lady who was rude to J and why she left for another club !

B's daddy is going to his Mommy's for awhile ( few days each week) to work and then come home since he doesnt have his license still to drive. I hope she doesnt start he retreat back into Mommy only phase ( my sister S ) . I can see it now ...she is watching max and Ruby and had to have a 4 1/2 hour tea party with Mommy and Daddy. Oh, wait I spelt Mommy wrong my sister S wants it to be spelt MOMMIE !!!

what the F *^% !!!!!! yup, thats what I deal with.. craziness !??!
