I'm smarter than Goo Goo!

Oh, we've been busy here! I finally am taking the time to sit down and write!

I haven't been feeling good the last few days. I admit that Sunday, I was probably a little hung over. We had Trivia Night Saturday. It was a good time. I had to read the questions, which meant me in front of 12 teams of people, holding a microphone and trying not to throw up, sweat through my clothes, or cry. Public speaking is down at the bottom of my favorite list. Well, close to the very bottom, just above Snakes. So, I drank a few drinks. Now, I am a major light weight. I have always been. And anymore, I don't ever drink at all. So after about one, I was feeling more confident in my public speaking abilities. Who knew? All those stupid presentations in college...I apparently should have had a flask in my backpack all those years, and would have done much better! Anyway...like I said, I didn't feel too good Sunday. But it has since turned into a cold/sore throat/cough. It sucks. I can't sleep, so am so tired. Waa Waa!! Basically yesterday, I did nothing. The girls and I stayed in our jammies all day. It was nice!

We had a good turn out for Trivia. There were 12 teams. Team McHinds got 4th place. Matt traded to Team Ervin (our friends) and they got 3rd place. Everyone is complaining that the questions were too hard. As the person who made the questions, I say they are just babies...we can't all be as smart as Shelly. Seriously! I am mostly happy to rub it in to Goober. He has been smarter than me since the day I started dating his brother...13 years ago. What was he like 8? So I am just pretending like I really knew all the answers to the questions and am therefore way smarter than him! Love you Goober! I will try to make the questions easier next year. If we do it again. We ended up making $2100.00 So that is awesome!

I straightened Peyton's hair and curled it under today for the funeral. She looked so cute. She kept asking me while I was doing it "why are you ironing my hair with that hot thing?" Matt was cracking up.

We went to Orval Neff's funeral today. He is Matt's uncle Doug's dad. He passed away Saturday morning after a battle with cancer. He will be missed.

Well, They are weighing in on Biggest Loser, I need to pay attention. Go Kristin!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
