HOW SAD AM I?

Ok, there is this little thing (or big thing) called REDBOX, I love this thing, movies for $1.08. As a result I have not been to the movie theater since Shrek 3. How long, we forget...
I am so, to use from my day, SAD, because there is only 2 movies I want to see this year at the theater, HSM3 and TWILIGHT. WHAT!!!!???? THESE ARE TWEEN AND TEEN (sorry young adult) movies. Heck no, kids can be barfing out there ears, Mommy will see you in a couple of hours. I actually have been looking forward to them(and already got the tix for HSM3 a week ago). My sister was laughing at one of my nieces friends who was counting down the days till HSM2, sadly now it's me for part 3. No I'm not doing the midnight thing, 5:15pm is fine, but I am so looking forward to going!

All around town

The other day I was getting Con's OJ out of Lesley's frig. I noticed a new kind of salsa. It was green and black olive salsa. I am a salty kind of girl, so I inquired about it, it looked really good. She said she had gotten it at Costco.
We have a Costco about 4 miles away, so today, decide to go get some. Turns out ours doesn't carry it. Ok, fine. There is another Costco about 4 miles away from that one, so I'll just pop over there. So I pull in to the parking lot, the gas station is open, but Costco is closed???????
Called Jeff to bitch. His response, "oh yeah, forgot to tell you, they had a fire". You would have thought the "I'm going to Costco"would have trigged the memory of the newspaper article he had read the day before, nope.
So I ended up at Lesley's Costco, which is about 19 miles from my house (went the long way and on the way home accidently got on the highway going north instead of south and was too lazy to try and turn around). At least they had the salsa, and yes, it's really good!

More time, less done?

This morning, Jeff was able to take Katie, meaning I had more time to get everything ready. So then why did it take me 1 hr and 15 mins, what usually takes me 30? And I didn't get everything done.
Typical morning:
get up
get Allys clothing set out
put her breakfast out
shower
make Katie's lunch, Ally's snack or lunch
get Katie's allergy med (I know she should do the last 2, but she is such a slug in the am)
get dressed
check email
check Ally homework is in order
tell Ally to get dressed, brush teeth, etc
check cat food
check to make sure the litter can wait till I get home
trip over a cat, who is telling me they need more food
let the cat (Isabelle) banging on the sliding door in, she's heard the food being dished out
glance at the hamster to make sure he's alive
get Ally's socks and shoe.
tell Katie to hurry up
brush Ally's hair
update Jeff on what's been done for Ally. He will either take her to school or I will return since her school starts at 8:45 (4 miles away)and Katie's starts at 8 (about 3 miles away, more on that later).
grab Katie's breakfast
head for the high school...time 7:25am
This morning I did everything but the critters and I didn't leave till 8:05?
I didn't feel like I was being lazy, but guess I was....

Soup

So the weather is supposed to be cloudy, and a little rain later on. So the perfect time to make one of my favorite soups, broccoli and barley.
So I start making the soup, it takes a while to make. The I realized, there are no children in the house?! WHAT! I CAN COOK ON THE FRONT BURNER? This is a very rare event in our house.
Well, my excitement was short lived, we have and electric stove. So when it was time for the soup to simmer for 45 mins while the barley cooks, decided to move it back to the back burner, so I could clean up some. And yes, you probably guessed, while cleaning up, forgot about the front burner had been on and burned myself. That will teach me to stray from the norm.
