Nikki's Journal

9:09pm: HOLY CRAP
Here I am updating.

All I did at work was highlite papers today. It was the most......... horrible thing ever.

I REALLY need a new job.

Enough of that. It's 9:15 nite.

11:08pm: Ouch.
I am sooooo incredibly tired. I cannot even begin to explain how tired I truly am.

Was there anything good on TV tonight?

So. That's it. Good night.

11:28pm: Call who?
Does anyone find it strange that the number for a Catholic school is 551-6667?

Hrm.

I'm going to bed now. G'night.

9:10pm: Holy smokes!
Hello.

11:10pm: The quarterly update....
Well, let's see............ why bother?

That seems to be enough for the first entry in 3 or 4 months.

Hope all is well in journal land.

8:59am: hrm.

lots new since I last updted. Nothing too exciting. So there ya have it. You people should use Xanga. That's where all the interesting stuff happens. And they have spell check now. So it's all good. ANd you can change colors of your text.... stuff like that. Try it. You might like it.

5:35pm: Sun = HOT!
Hey. It's freakin' HOT outside. We went swimming today... and if anyone would like to swim tomorrow, Thursday, we are going. 1:00 at 52nd Maple, Gallagher Pool. We'll be there until 4:30ish. I work at 6. Ick.

Tommy thinks he can swim all by himself! Not quite...

Later!

9:40am: Um. Job interview = stupid.

I AM IN A LOT OF PAIN right now. And when I am like this... I whine. SO deal. My back feels like ... I don't have an analogy. It just really hurts. I need to take muscle relaxers, but if I do, I can't take care of the kids. They win. So I hurt...

That's all.

Bye. And Good-bye if I die. You are all truly nice people.

4:07pm: I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW ON THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am slightly excited.

4:25pm: Oh Zach.
So I asked Zach to pick up all of his toys from the living room and put them away in his bedroom. I walk into his room to see his progress..... He's put everything in the corner and covered it up with pooh bear and penguin.

Thanks, Zach.

Anyway. On the brighter side of things, I don't have to wake up at 6am tomorrow after working until 2AM tonight!! YAY! My lawyer called and said we could push back my appt. cuz his court stuff got canceled tomorrow. I was thrilled! He actually called me and said he was a police officer and that he believes my car is a stolen vehicle. I believed him up to the point when he asked me where I got the car. Then it just didn't make sense. Then I swore at him, cuz I figured out who it was. I suck.

Later. Gotta go to work. Icky. I applied for lots of jobs today! Go ME!

11:19am: 'Swimming, swimming, in the swimming pool....'
Remember that song from camp? '... when days are hot, when days are cool, in the swimming pool! Breast stroke, side stroke, backstroke too...' OKAY, I'll stop. BUT I get to goooooo swimming today! I am taking 6 kids ALL BY MYSELF!! I am sure I will have fun stories to tell later, if I survive. 3 8 year olds, a 5 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. SHOULD BE A BLAST! I ordered Pizza for lunch cuz I am too lazy to make something. I'm NOT going to have any, Grant. So relax. Too many carbs in pizza! Ha Ha Ha... ho hum. Okay. Later! Pizza is ready to get picked up! Yahoooooo!


UPDATE!!! ---

SO I survived the pool mania. We ended up going to Hitchcok Park... I don't know if I am spelling that correctly. I have a feeling that I am not. Ah well. Anyway. The pool was HUGE! it has 6 diving boards it was so huge. And the boards have to be at least 200 feet in the air. I don't know if that is accurate, but it sounds good.

Funniest story of the day....

Zach, Tommy, Eric and I are all in the baby pool. Zach had started running... again... and so I had to yell at him... again... to stop running so he doesn't break open his skull. Makes sense? I thought so. But not to a 4-year old. His response: "Bullshit!"

Now. I thought to myself, 'Nik, surely your cute, refined, never a trouble maker *coughs* 4-year old just said what you thought he said... so I said to Zach, "What?" and he yells again "BULLSHIT!"

At this point I am trying hard not to laugh. The other parents in the pool are laughing their butts off at me. Here is the rest of the conversation...

Me: "Get your butt up on that towel, you are in a timeout!"
Zach: "BULLSHIT!!!"
me: "ZACH! That is a bad word!!"
Zach: "Oh." Looks sweet and innocent with his big blue eyes, looks up... smiles and then: "Sorry, Mom."
Me: "Where on Earth did you hear that?"
Zach: "Daddy!"
Me: "Dammit, Tony!"
Zach: "You're in a timeout, Mom!"
Me: "Man!"

Come on, that's good stuff!
Later!

9:15am: You have GOT to be KIDDING me!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's only 9:15 and I am already having 'one of those days.'

Later.

10:47am: Hello. Everyone came over last night for the Wednesday Party Night. It was a good time. I was so VERY sleepy though. I had a spa day (which included facial, massage, pedicure and manicure) for the entire day and I didn't get much sleep the night before because of work and just not being able to sleep. But everyone came over, and it was fun. Pizza, Peanuts... always a good combo. Other than that..... nothing. Hope all is good.

11:19am: This is not interesting. Don't even read it.
I want to go fishing.

Yup. That's it. Maybe I'll go on Saturday afternoon. Can I borrow a fishing pole? Nevermind. I'll use a stick with a string. And a paperclip for a hook.

Okay. Maybe I'll just go to the lake, lay out and try to improve my tan, and read HP 4. It's a good plan.

Bye.

3:09pm: Zach! That gum was put under that table for a reason! Leave it ...eww!
Zoo day was a fun day today. The boys and snow cones.... well.... they have very blue lips and red legs. Whatever. They had a good time, but after 4 hours, they were ready to leave. The train broke so they were really bummed because I actually said "OK" to going on it today. I think we will try again next week to go. They love it! And the Gorilla exhibit is coming right along, if you have not had the chance to go, we all highly recommend it! They have the water fall and the outside monkey area all complete, it was awesome! If I ever win the lottery, however, which I will, I am going to give the Zoo 5 million to clean the bottom of their tables. And that is the end of my ZOOriffic story!

Hope all is well in the worlds of those who I know....

NIKKI OUT!

10:14am: Another day.... another .. ?
Not much to update on. I've been working. Yay for me. I'm going to clean today since I didn't do JACK yesterday. I mean it, I didn't take a shower until 2:30. At least I woke up with a 'happy' attitude today. Not sure why though, I got less sleep last night. I couldn't fall asleep for love or money last night. Whatever. So the munchkins and I are cleaning and watching "Wild Thornberries." Who the heck can talk to animals? I think we may go to lunch with Mom/Granny today. So we might actually get out of the house. The sun is up. Nevermind, there are more clouds, so it's gone now. It's going to rain again today isn't it? Summer? SUN? Hello!

That's all. What a pointless entry. Ah well.

12:51pm: Has Anyone Seen the Money Tree?
So..... how does milk, bread, eggs and cereal turn into $89.50 at Target? Because! You have to ADD juice, pizza, strawberries, bananas, peaches, pop, diapers, toothpaste, kid cough medicine, kid fever reducer, and a 'kid snack' for not yelling bloody murder through the store.

Ah hell! I forgot the toilet paper.

1:09pm: Good Golly, Miss. Molly!
We're eating lunch today and Tommy decided "I full!" I told him to finish his chicken. He still states "I full!" So he stands up on the chair, demanding to get down. I said, "No, finish your chicken and sit down in your chair before you break an arm or something!" He says, "Mama! I fly!" *And flaps his arms to jump out of the chair...*

Just an FYI... Tommy can't fly.

Terrible Twos. Phew!

Later!

10:20am: It all makes sense now.
So. Anime is porn. I didn't realize this until last night. I've never paid attention to any of it. I'm not much into T.V. and video games... But sweet, innocent Chad brought in this magazine all about Anime and I was skimming through it... And it hit me. It's porn. No wonder every man in the world likes Anime. I just wish someone would have told me earlier that's what it was all about. I would have understood. Now I understand Jim so much more. I can't wait to tell him I figured it out.

That's all.

1:00pm: Hello Sunshine!!
It was a great day! This past weekend, my Dad got my Mom's fountain working in her flower garden, it is very nice! And Mom's roses are blooming.... so the kids and I had a picnic lunch outside by the fountain today. We are going to do picnic lunches everyday! Well, except for when it rains. It was a good day. They kept feeding the birds Cheeto's though. I'll have to remember to not serve rice for lunch. Anyway, EVERYONE is invited over for picnic lunches this summer! It'll be a blast!

After lunch, Tommy laid down inside for a nap, Zach watched some cartoons to rest a bit and I put the blanket in the sun and got slightly red... I pledge to be tan this summer!

In a hour or two I must start getting ready to go to work. ICK! Although, I'm not really going to do much work... I am going to start the schedule at the theatre, then go to Grant's (I WILL NOT be late!!) since it is the season finale of "24," and then finish the schedule at home tonight. Sneaky!!!

Everyone have a good night! LATER!

9:00pm: Hrm.
Ok. Comment on this if you can. I'm trying to see if I fixed it. I think I did. But I don't know for sure.
So DO IT! and say HI.

12:34am: Forget it.
I'm not going to write in here cuz I can't figure out why no one can leave comments. And who the heck needs to write in 10 places anyway. That's all. I'm done.

11:07am: Hm.....
Well, I think I figured this thing out. Look at that! I have a live journal account. But I am not going to use this thing. I just wanted to see if I would like it better... and I am not sure yet if I do, but maybe. That's all. Have a fun day.
