Glad to be healthy

I’m back!

So it was a rough past week at my house with sick kids and them myself getting sick. It really is a chore trying to get vomit out of off white carpet – not to mention the smell that just lingers for days. Ok, I am sure no one wants to hear more about that so I will move on…

Today’s topic is parent – teacher conferences.

Yes, the dreaded conferences have loomed upon me and I have both scheduled for Friday afternoon (hey, at least I get to take some time off of work).
My oldest son, Sam, is great at home & school so I am not worried about him. Things come pretty easy for him.
My worry is my middle son, Thomas, (grrrrrr is what I am thinking right now) is the typical middle child, defiant and very “challenging”. He behaves himself at school but at home is a nightmare – I mean that. He loves WWE and tried to tackle me by jumping off the top of the stairs on my when I walked by because he was mad at me. Maybe it is split personality, he is the devil and then there are glimpses of this great boy that I know he can be.

Oh, the joys of parenting. Cross your fingers for me that Friday goes better than expected.

Are you ready for a vacation too?

I have decided that today’s topic is where to go on a much needed vacation. It seems everyone is going on one except me. Frustrating, to say the least. My three boys just came back from visiting their Dad in California.

Currently, my skin is so pale that I don’t even think I can go with my standard description of “porcelain white” it is just down right pastey. I need some sun and since I live in the tundra of Minnesota that won’t be happening anytime soon.

So I’ve been asking myself the question – Where should I go on vacation? There are many issues to consider. First and foremost where to go, then there is how much money am I will to spend, I currently do not have a passport, do I bring the kids, do I go with friends, do I go alone with my bf? All good questions, the problem is I don’t even know where to start.

Obviously, I want to go some place warm. Which leads me to think of Florida – if I go there I should bring the kids so we could do all the fun “family” things. If I do bring the rugrats, the price goes up significantly. Airfare alone for the four of us would be substantial. Driving eats up so much time and with the gas prices it is also spendy (yes, I am originally from SD so I can use that word). What to do…

Part of me says, just wait – it will be warm before you know it. I keep trying to envision this but it is hard when it is only 10 degrees outside.

What would you do???

So, after seeing my old friend Brooke’s blog today and stalking poor Tenille through her blog for the past few weeks, I decided it was high time that I, too, should try my hand at blogging.

I am not quite sure who will want to read what I have to say but what the heck…

I hope you will find my blog amusing if not useful.

With that, here it is – my first blog!

Stay tuned for more confessions of an ex-wife.
