Twas the day of the Christmas party and I was rushing like mad, I still had to get alcohol, EGADS!
Armed with some rum and a really cute guy, we sped to Seattle as the trees flew by.
We got to the ferry and I took a spill, "Beer me" I said, its better then Pills.
Checked in the coats and grabbed our chips, off to play poker and took one in the hip.
Saw everyone I chat with in the Jabber IM, I exist, yes really I do, just like the red M & M.
Took photos galore and ate some great food, I won a lava lamp, it lightened the mood.
We headed for home as it grew later that night, finally we saw PA was in sight.
To the house we headed, **wink, wink** yes its true...
Fell asleep on the couch before we took off our shoes.
Ok I know its cheesy... but it was fun to do.
The Christmas Party was a blast, great food, great friends, good times.
It started snowing when I picked up the kids, this morning. We ended up trying to shovel all the snow in the complex over to our "yard" so we could build a fort.
We went over to a friends house and made some monkey bread... it was so good... and it disappeared FAST. Got the Christmas gifts wrapped and made some steak for dinner.
This was a fun, fun weekend and I'm sad to see it go.
Cookie making tomorrow, call the Fire Dept cause Kris is baking. ( I have been known to light myself of fire when pulling cookies from the oven)
I am outta here for the night. Take care and Happy Holidays!

Something about September
Nothing say Fall is back better then, "MMMMOOOOOOOOMMMMM wheres my homework?" or "I missed the bus" or my favorite... "BBBUUUTTTT IIIII DDDDOOONNNN'TTT WAANNNAAA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TTTOOOOOO BBBBBEEEDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Well the Spawn are in bed and its 10pm and this mom has put on her favorite PJ's, grabbed a cold beverage and is winding down. Whoo what a day... then again what a month!
Finally got the big desktop reformatted... and he feels so much better!. Runs like a champ! The kids are doing great, School is coming along nicely. Jack is loving school. They are learning Humpty Dumpty. Nate is playing the violin this year and AJ, well the goofball has made it to the 7th grade with minimal scarring. He is still in the band (doomed to be there til he graduates) and is thriving on his guitar.
Back to school night was fun for both of the boys, (Jacks is soon). AJ is already trying to think of pranks he can pull... We'll see how far he gets... Then mom will show him how to do it without getting caught.LOL
We all did get a case of the sickies... Over Labor Day weekend no less, as much as it sucked, we medicated, slept and repeated. We feel so much better. Last weekend Jack and I went on a Hike with some friends of ours and had a blast. Felt like we ran the trail but it was good and the muscles said thank you.
October is right around the corner and as usual this house can't wait. Halloween falls on a Sat and the boys are excited. Jack is going as a giraffe, Nate is still undecided, AJ is contemplating, and me... well this year I am thinking I have a few ideas up my sleeve but its going to be a secret.
I hear a good book calling my name and sometimes that can be just as bad as the Reese's in the fridge murmuring to me in the middle of the night and then in the morning waking up with all the wrappers around my bed... but then again I can't wait til this weekend when I can go get my copy of The Lost Symbol... YEA!!! I am also thinking if it is sucky outside I am going to go give my library card a workout. Here I go again off track, do they have a bloggers form of ADD? Writing about one thing and then all of a sudden off to the races on another subject...
Call me the classic Gemini but I have been known to have several conversations with the same person at once.. Thats 3 different subjects all at the same time(if only it weren't fat finger wednesday). And lets not forget... "oh look.... a woody" Hey wait... thats me.
I swear I am not on anything... this is me after a day at work... the more stress, the lower my blood pressure...
Ok peoples, I am going to my bed... for real... I promise.
No, really here I go.

A day at the fair...
"Look mom the fair is here!! Can we go?? PLLLEEEAAASSEE???"
"We won't fight again, EVER. We Promise"
"Can we please go"
So I bought tickets for the rides, and took half the day off so my kids could "do the Fair"
Spawn #1 immediately asked for his ride ticket and said "SEE YA"
The other two spawn and I went to look at the animals and see what freebies we could get.
We ran into a friend of mine and walked around all the animals and booths and got a small show from the magician. The kids still can't figure out how he, and the moms were able to bend the half dollar. After eating one of the over priced sandwiches (I really should have got the Gyro), the spawn and I bid farewell to our friends and went to the carnival.
Spawn #3 decided this was the year he went on all the big boy rides... Height permitting of course. I normally am not all that thrilled to go to this fair, but this year was different. My boys and I had a ball. They squished me on the Scrambler... I mean the Sizzler. I spun them around until they were super dizzy in the Berry go round and they had a blast running into each other on the bumper cars.
We played some games and won some prizes. Nothing beats the look on their faces as we were leaving, priceless. Its time like this when being a mom is awesome.
The night ended with showers, hugs, and bed.

**WARNING**
First and foremost I would like to welcome you to Woody's slice... Its my little patch of the internet where I can let my hair down and write what I am feeling... Some days it might be something funny, and others will be filled with chaos, mischief, and possibly a migraine. These are my thoughts.
**This is my first blog on this website and its not a blog for the faint of heart. If one wants to read it, they must do so at their own risk. I blog to speak my mind, some days I might sugar coat it, and others I will give it to you straight up. Again this is a warning.**
I will promise that no names will be used. Names if I use them have been changed to protect the Guilty just as much as the Innocent. But thats about all I can promise you.
If one does not like what is written on here then don't bother to read it. Its my thoughts sometimes just randomly thrown out.
If one does like what is written on here, then by all means come in, remove your shoes, grab your favorite beverage and read on.
