So normally the 28th is the last day of February but this is Leap Year and we get to end on 29. YEAH!!!! Anyway Last night I was too tired to stay on the computer so I did not post and I am a little tired tonight also but wanted to make sure I posted tonight!! I promise to do better in March!!!
Thursday 28 Feb. 2008- Well it was my 14th straight day of working with Valentine's day being the last day I had off. And I wonder why I was sooo tired??? lol!! It was another COLD night here in Florida and my DS9's practice was 7-8:30 @ night. So again I was the "rockin' momma" when I showed up with a big keg of hot water, cups, and hot cocoa packets!!! They had a scrimmage game with another team and we won. I was concerned that my son didn't swing at any of the pitches and struck out looking. It is not like him to do that so I think the cold affected him. We will have to work with him a little harder!!!
Friday 29 Feb. 2008- Leap day and finally a day off...yeah!!! Today I vegged in bed after I dropped the kids off to school. After I picked them up I went to pick up my paycheck to notice I was shorted $120. I went back in to only find out I was going to have to come back later to pick up another check when they can find someone to sign it....aggghh!!! So after I went back and picked up the check off to the bank I went. Then afterwards we visited my Aunt at her store and dropped off grocery bags for her to use. I picked up some groceries and a box filled with 75 juice boxes for just $17 (5 boxes of cereal, 200 baking cups, pumpkin pie filling, evaporated milk, corkscrew pasta, 2 bags animal crackers, cinnamon honey grahams, a timer, and light bulbs)...gotta love shopping at my Aunt's store...lol
"Date" update- I did not see my friend since but I think my work and his school/work schedule conflict and I am not working at that job this weekend SOOO not sure if it would be happening anyway!!!

Bring on the freeze....
Tonight it is expected to hit below 30 which is VERY COLD for Florida!!! As soon as the sun fell tonight, while we were on the baseball field, so did the temperature. Thank god I am a rockin' momma and I brought hot water, cocoa, cups, and spoons to warm up all those little baseball players. Two parents even dropped their kids off in just a t-shirt and shorts. I was mortified!!! Who does that? Then one parent who did that later showed up with pants and a big coat all bundled up. I felt like saying how about doing the same for your son...ughhh!!!
I spent today setting up my calendar of things by adding in my March work schedule, the baseball schedule, and my doctor appointments!! I also called and made some dental appointments for me and the boys. Now the only thing left is to make my vision appointment and I will be all set!!!! It felt good to complete my MArch calendar of events so far....oh I forgot that I also labeled GP, Rudy, and Turkey days!!! But like I said it was great to look at it!!!

Thunderstorms. Lightning, Tornado watches....
And electricity going in and out...What a day we had today!!!! No we were not part of the BIG BLACKOUT down South but did have our electric go in and out during our storms late afternoon today!! I received my work schedule and I am working about 3 days a week on average and she split the shifts in 2 instead of 3. So I will work a 7 or 6 hour shift each time. She of course messed up ONE shift for me..she scheduled me on Saturday night on the 22nd. First I can't work Saturday nights because I clean the church PLUS it is my birthday so I got hit in a double whammy!!! Hopefully I can do some switch a roos with some coworkers but the way they have been behaving who knows!!! I will keep my fingers crossed and see what happens!!!

Happy Rudy Day
As much as I would normally write about what things I did today for Rudy Day I have some personal thoughts I need to let out today.
Today I was asked out by a YOUNGER gentleman to a dance/party. He knows I have 3 boys and has seen them a few times while they were with me at work. He is a resident at the apartment facility I work for and I don't think there is a policy about not dating residents so that is not the issue. PLUS I don't know my March work schedule yet so I might be working that night anyways. BUT if I am off from work I have a BIG decision to make. I am not sure I am ready to "date" again is my first issue. Then there is the approximate 8-9 year age difference with me being the OLDER one...yikes!!! He is from Venezuela, he works and goes to school. He is very nice and he usually comes in to the gym to visit and talk ALOT more than he comes in to "use the gym". This is going to be a hefty decision to make but I am kind of hoping that my boss scheduled me so the decision is made for me....lol It is avery scary thought and I know it is just a date but I am an old fashioned kind of gal who doesn't want to casual date my life away. If I date it is something I think can go somewhere and I am not sure a 23/24 year old is ready to be a "stepdad" to my already 9 y.o. and 7 y.o. twins if you know what I mean. AND I am not so sure I am ready to date a much younger guy. Isn't that supposed to happen during the mid life crisis era when I would want a younger guy???.....lol!!!
Anyway it feels to good to be asked out to a dance but I seriously don't think I am ready for it!!!

February's FINAL Weekend 2008
Ok now I have four more days of work to complete my 14 days of work streak....Can't wait til Friday!!! So yes you will have to forgive me because this was a VERY busy weekend for me between putting in extra hours at one job, still working my second job, AND missing my boys terribly while they had a fun filled weekend in Tampa.
Saturday began with a soaking...yes you read that right a SOAKING!!! It was pouring out complete with lightning and thunder when I had to leave for work in the morning. By the time I sat in my car my pants were suctioned to my legs and water was pouring down my face as I tried to wipe it off with the now sopping wet sleeve of my fleece jacket. And I had to work seven hours in these wet clothes because the entrance way to my gym was flooded so my pants were soaked at the half way point between my feet and my knees. So when I say a soaking believe me it was!!!! After I came home I rested a little while and then went out to dinner at IHOP with my dad, aunt, and uncle!! Then went from IHOP to the church to clean!!
Sunday began with church, cleaning the church, and a fabulous breakfast at my grandfather's. Poppop's famous waffles were ready and waiting for me when I walked in the door. My Poppop even buttered, syruped, and cut them before I came in...I love him!!! The only thing I had to do was pour on the applesauce!!! Afterwards we went through one of the closets in the spare bedroom. My grandmother hadso much stuff but I found LOTS of new binders and I am VERY excited....lol Anyway I ran out of time and had to leave so I can do the final church cleaning. From there I went to my other job and waited for my boys to arrive. I was sooo excited to see them and they had LOTS of goodies from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays ball club. My poor Travis was sick all weekend but is doing ok tonight. I gave him some cough meds and he didn't have a fever anymore so I am keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy morning because he has perfect attendance right now!!! There has been lots more but I will write more tomorrow!!!

Friday the 22nd of February!!!
Well another work day but more like a work night...lol Today I baked 4 sweet potatoes to have over this weekend while at work and with dinner. I finished most of my laundry (except the bedding) and packed my kids for the weekend with their Grandma and Aunt from NY who are visiting. They will be in Tampa at their Great Aunts condo. I am a little nervous and scared considering my ex MIL tried to fly my kids to NY without my permission around the holidays despite the fact that I told her in October that they were not going. I can't deny the kids and I can't deny my ex SIL, I trust her, it is her mom I am not trusting right now. So right now I am missing my boys but I know they will have a fun weekend and I believe they are going to meet the Tampa Bay Devil Rays baseball team because my SIL has a high school friend who works for them!!!

Okay, I am a little behind but here I go....
Tuesday the 19th- Well let's begin with another day at work. Don't get me wrong glad I am still working but man I can't wait for Leap Day to get here...lol Ronnie had a VERY COLD baseball practice which left me wanting to crawl in my blanket and go to bed....I missed being in chat!!
Wednesday the 20th- Let's see I started off the day at work of course but knew that there was going to be a lunar eclipse and I was babysitting my nephew that I haven't seen since Christmas!!! Well although I did see the lunar eclipse before going to bed, I received a call from my nephews mommy during baseball practice and it was not good news for me. Apparently my brother was in his mad rage and refused to bring the baby to me and to take her to her class. I tried reasoning with my brother but he said some not so nice words and hung up on me. Of course as part of his control I couldn't get back into contact with my brother's girlfriend because he broke her cell phone (again) and she had called me originally on his phone which he now of course is not answering....ughh AND to top it all off I found out from my OTHER brother that supposedly the baby grabbed my brother's (his dad's) cigareete and burned his hand in between his fingers. So I guess he needed to find a reason to NOT let me see my nephew because he knows I will be all over his $hit!!!
Thursday the 21st- OMG can you believe February will be over next friday???? Today was the first of the four days straight of my LONGER shifts at work. It went well even though it rained. I still can't get my brother to answer his phone but when he needs something I know he will eventually call and he will have to be ready to bring me my baby....hehe. So like I said it has been raining today and we did not get a cancellation call so I drive ALL the way to practice to show up and see no one there. Another mom was there and she said she didn't receive a phone call either. What pisses me off most is that with the cost of gas, this was a waste of money and miles on my car....uggghh So since practice was cancelled my son and I stoped off at the grocery store and picked up whole chickens on sale for 69 cents a pound. They only had 2 left so in the cart they went YEAH!!!! I will cook them up this weekend and tear the chicken off, bag them and freeze for dinner next week!!!
