*sigh* I've been tagged by Kristin for a meme and because I'm a good blogger I'll comply. The rules go a little something like 'dis.
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Let the meme begin:
1. I talk to myself all the time.
2. I'm tongue tied. Plan to fix someday.
3. I'm having the hardest time with this.
4. I dated Howie Day in Junior High.
5. I pray everytime I get in car.
6. When nervous I chew on my hair.
7. I have a thing for number 7.
So, there you have it. Notice how many words are in each fact. Also, I got married on the 7th day in the 7th month. Last year our anniversary was 7/7/07 and this year we will celebrate our 7th anniversary. My ring has 7 diamonds. So, the fact that this meme had to do 7 facts was the only reason I decided to partake in it. Hope you enjoyed. Now I'll tag:
Joey at 5 too Many
Jennifer at List Mama
Linda at All & Sundry
Meg at Main-ly Megin
OK sorry, but I'm tired and that's all I've got. Hope you enjoy

Playing Catch up
Ah, Good Morning....It's a beautiful sunday morning at our house. It's currently 9:30am, Jordan is still sleeping (YES!!), Darric is out helping his father with a project he's got going on. I've got the sound of laundry going downstairs and the aroma of my french vanilla coffee is filling the room. This is my down time from my hectic week. Sorry I haven't written all week, so here's a break down of how my week went.
*Monday - Was suppose to have an Orthodontist appointment, had to cancel because I didn't have a babysitter because my grandmother was sick. Spent the morning calling everyone I knew to see if they could watch Jordan because I could not take the day off. Another reason I HATE having to work.
*Tuesday - This is my weird scheduled day, because of babysitter schedules. Spent the morning with a cranky sick child then went to work only to spend it with cranky sick coworkers. But I got to see my dad this day so that was cool.
*Wednesday - Not a good day. Got a call around 8am from Gram Betty saying we needed to get to the hospital ASAP because aunt Nancy is not doing good at all. We recently found out she has cancer in her lungs, bowels and bones. Aunt Nancy passed away later in the day with her family all around her. Aunt Nancy was Darric's aunt, his father's sister. Very sad day, but the highlight of this day was seeing how my son was able to lift everyone's spirits. Aunt Nancy will surely be missed.
*Thursday - Just a very hectic day at work. And my monthly friend decided to visit me which made me very cranky.
*Friday - Right now at work we're doing our yearly Teens Who Care Award, and I'm one of the producers. I have to make a profile video of one of the teens. My Teen is awesome this year. But imagine spending your entire day writting down everything that all the interviews said. Blah. Which makes my weekend filled with putting the actual script together. When the profile is done I'll post it here so you can see it.
*Saturday - Took Jordan to the Bangor Y Spring Fair. Had fun, but I have to say my child is a wimp, he wouldn't go on any rides, and when we finally talked him into going down the slide he cried. Then later we talked him into going on the cars that just went around in a circle. Well, he made it around once, his face immediately turned red and tears filled his little eyes. I felt like the meanest mom. But I don't get why he's such a wimp. I wonder if I was a wimp when I was a kid? I also had to work the fair at our NEWS CENTER booth, it was fun. Met some great people. We ended the day grocery shopping and spending way too much money.
That leads us to today. I've got cleaning to do, a baby shower to attend as well as a benefit supper. It's just another day in the life of me.

Get off your Keaster and Have a Happy Easter!
If you google the meaning of Easter, you'd likely find that it is the celebratation of the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crucifixion around AD 33. Did you know that? I find it funny how every year the true meaning of this holiday is a little forgotten among some, myself included. This year, for some reason, I feel less like teaching Jordan about the Easter Bunny and more like teaching him about Jesus. Don't get me wrong though, "Here comes Peter Cottontail" is one of our favorites this time of year, but Mr. Cottontail will be leaving Jordan his first Bible this year, accompanied with chocolate eggs and plenty o' Peeps as well.
As a child I can remember waking up in the morning and finding our easter baskets left for us on the couch. There was always a small gift and tons of chocolate. We always dressed up in our spring clothes and went to church, then we would come back to my grandparents house and have a nice big family dinner, everyone was there, it was perfect. Now with my own little family we're starting our own traditions. Since this year is the first year that Jordan is starting to understand a little more we're finding we have to put some thought into what we are deciding to do. I stole our easter egg hunt idea from a co-worker of mine. Jordan had 10 eggs to find and each egg had a clue in it which led him to where the next egg was, for example "Go look in the machine where our dishes get clean." And the last egg led him to where his basket was. Jordan did a great job and he loved the clues. So, this is definetely going to be a fun tradition. Unfortunetely we didn't get up in time to make it to church, I feel a little disappointed in myself, I really should've got up and got moving.
Now we're heading to my grandparents house to have a nice easter dinner. It's unfortunate that a lot of the family isn't able to make it. I try not to let this get to me because every holiday is important to me because of family and I feel when some don't try as hard as they should it's just unexceptable. Someday they may regret not making family first, when that family isn't there anymore.
So, now that I've gotten all sentimental and all I just want to wish you a very Happy Easter. And on a lighter note can someone please explain to me what does bunny rabbits and eggs have in common? It's not like the bunny's lay the eggs. I don't get it????

Have You Missed Me???
Well, we've been on Vacation. We didn't go to Burmuda, Florida or the Caribbean...we went to Island Falls, Maine. Just 2 hours north of where we live really. Why Island falls, well, we are Mainers and WE LOVE SNOWMOBILING!!!! Now, don't get me wrong we also would love Burmuda, Florida or the Caribbean, but this is our yearly relaxing vacation of snowmobiling. We have a timeshare at Vacationland Estates. But what is there to do up in the county you ask? Well, check out the video I made of all the fun we had and why we do love our Vacation.
So, as you can see there was plenty of fun including, swimming, hot tubbin', relaxing, eating good food and sleddin'. Now back to the real life, and back to blogging on a regular basis....I missed cha!!!

Can Someone Please Tell Me.....
WHO stole my baby and replaced him with this YOUNG BOY because DAMN.
It does not seem that long ago that I could cradle this child in my arms and just watch him sleep for hours on end. I remember when he was first born I would sing to him and he would smile at me and it would bring tears to my eyes. Now tears are brought to my eyes out of rage when he refuses to listen to me and throws a tantrum for not getting his way. Oh, how the times have changed.
This picture was taken last weekend through Sears Portrait Studio. It was not a fun trip, I'll just say that because I know you don't want to hear the whole story of how Jordan refused to be in front of the camera, he wouldn't even stay in the room, every time the picture lady gave him a new toy to play with for the camera he threw it across the room, and this whole process was a lot more expensive then I had imagined. Oops, that's pretty much the story anyway. I will say thought that we did get maybe 2 decent pictures, but I can't post them here yet because there are eyes on here that I don't want seeing the pictures until they get them in person and you know who you are. :)
