Really a random view!

Wow have I missed things. I know what's new huh? Since I have missed updating things in my life here on my blog that is supposed to keep you updated it means you have missed them too.

I missed my 2 year anniversary of blogging. I started this on December 27, 2007 and I must say I did pretty good in the year 2008. I'm sure some of you beg to differ but I'm not listening to your opinion. I want to promise to do better for the year of 2010 but I really hate breaking promises so I am not going to make it. I can promise that I will update at least once a month.

I started doing Jazzercise. My class is at 5:30 a.m. Are you done laughing yet? Now stop it, I can get up if I have to. I don't talk to anyone at that time and I can go with out a shower which makes it a little easier. Besides for a week now I am wide a wake at 4:30 so I might as well get up instead of going back to sleep and being tired.

Jamison got his 31/2 year pictures taken yesterday. I haven't had professional pictures done since he was one. See blogging is not the only part of my life I put off. I also finished the quilt for his bed. It rocks if I do say so myself. I'm a little proud of it so if you come to my house you will get to see it.

I can't wait until February!!! We are going to Disneyland with my parents. Why Cali instead of Florida you ask? The main reason being it is a smaller park and perfect for a 3 year old. And the second reason is we can get a hotel room that is a block from the entrance and it perfect for a 3 year old that still needs naps. I actually found a direct flight for under $100 out there, so Brian was happy. But our trip home is going to take us from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. We are not going to be pleasant that day.

Christmas and New Years were good. The boys got to many toys of course but I have taken 2 trips to Goodwill already this year. I can't think of any thing else right now. I am still having problems uploading pictures on this newer computer so I will have to wait to see what I can do one of these days.

Dec 9 (my days aren't matching up)

I was never really good in math another gene that skipped me in our family. On December 8, our first blizzard of the season hit. At work they were talking worst case scenario if work closed what needed to be done in PA and could they do it. (our manager said .05 percent we would close) Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call at 6:15 saying they were closed until noon. At 10:30 I started out to drop the boys off at their respective places and started heading to work around 11:30 when I got another call that they were staying closed today. First time in the 13 years I have worked there that they have closed for a day. I turned around picked the boys up and we went to Mickey D's for lunch. Then home again for card games and video games. Alright I admit it I had a small nap too with Jamison.

18 Days untl Christmas

Migraine today I have no idea what went on in the house. Jamison came to take a nap with me about 1 and I woke headache free around 3:30. Burger King for supper. MY FAVORITE!

Day 19 until Christmas

Campbell and Jamison decorated the tree today. It is a little bottom heavy on the ornaments but it looks great. Alright except for the fact that half my lights don't work. I put up decorations around the rest of the house.

Day 20 until Christmas

Jamison was sick last night from Midnight to 6 he threw up once an hour. We went threw 3 sets of sheets before we got the bucket concept. At 5 he didn't want to do it anymore he just wanted to get up. He watched Disney until the next bout when he woke me to say he was lonely. Other than not keeping anything down he was fine. He was down for a nap by 11 and slept for 5 hours. I did a little napping, wrapping presents and made a bracelet. Campbell and Brian went to the neighbors for Clone War Friday. They also made a gingerbread house. I put another coat of paint on frosty.

21 Days Until Christmas

We got the tree up just like the calendar said however as you can see from the picture no ornaments. Also no lights at the top of the tree. Helpful Hint: If you buy a prelit tree make sure it states on the box if one light goes out all the others stay lit! We have to buy lights to put on top tomorrow. Then Saturday the boys can decorate the big tree. We fluffed Jamison's tree and it is in his room. I broke his heart because I wouldn't let him sleep with it on. He told me that! Campbell has a good start on the decorations on his tree, he thinks he has over half the ornaments on it.

I downloaded our Christmas card picture to night too. I'm moving right along for me. Note: Tree picture is the first picture I have taken with my Canon Digital and uploaded on the desktop so tell me what you think. Good night!

22 Days until Christmas

Well other day closer to Christmas and what Christmasy things did the Tressler family do? Not a whole lot was accomplished today. I wrote down some Advent activities for us to partake in. The Trolley ride down town I think we will do on Sunday. Putting up the tree tomorrow as Jeff dictated on the calendar. Decorating Gingerbread houses at the neighbors on Friday and decorating the tree on Saturday.

I got the boys' wish list, such as Jamison's is, for Ken and Lorraine. How do you narrow down "I just want everything mommy."? I gave them a few items and said best of luck. I know you guys are thinking harsh but they generally don't go off the list you give them anyway so it is really not.

I put the chocolate in the Advent calendar and then I sat down to watch Top Chef. I must say I soo soo wanted Michael V to go home but when they said that Jen's dish was too salty and Kevin's meat was too tough I knew he was staying. Then I was praying that it was Jen we said good bye to not Kevin. Next week it has to be Kevin coming out on top. Okay I won't cry too hard if Bryan beats him because was Bryan ever in the bottom 3? I don't think so. Oh but if Michael wins I will probably never watch the show again. I dislike him that much. It is almost as much as I disliked Joan Rivers when she won Celebrity Apprentice. That was the "Jumping the Shark" for me with the Apprentice. On to a new reality.

While flipping through channels at 10 waiting for 10:30 to get here so I can watch "Two and a Half Men" I came across a movie called "Race to Space". Have you ever seen it? If not I highly recommend. Hometown girl Annabeth Gish is the Vet for the NASA Chimps in the 1960s. James Woods is the German Engineer that designs the American Space craft and Alex D Linz is his son. Very touching with enough action that it would have kept Campbell interested if I would let him stay up this late on a school night. Speaking of staying up late. It's midnight and I need to go to bed. Good night all.
