Our new family members are a hoot! Pardon the pun! H is holding his bird Balto and G is holding her bird Rocky. We have had them a few weeks and I am now certain that birds are the best pets ever. They are super easy to care for and they get really excited when you come home, however they don't jump on you and ruin your pantyhose. We have gotten them a bunch of bird toys and it turns out that birds love toys. They really love mirrors and bells. The kids love them and are not afraid to take them out and hold them.Life here is pretty good. No headaches for P. He is doing fine. The kids are doing fine in school. I totally bombed a test this week, but I hope my paper makes up for it. It was the Morphology exam. The teacher postponed it for a week, but that still didn't help. I don't think I was the only one to have a really hard time with it. I have two papers due this week and I am really starting to feel the pressure of school now. I have signed up for two classes this summer. i am taking "Teaching Literature to Children" and "Teaching Reading to Children". Both classes I am very exctied about.
I am the newest assistant Daisy Girl Scout Leader. We are finishing cookie sales. I am getting used to taking a backseat and not being the leader. I kind of like letting someone else be in charge. No responsibility!
Dinner this week:
Burgers and salad
Frito Pie
Pot Roast
squash pasta
soup and salad
Nothing new on the IPOD, however I am loading up my TiVo
Grey's for the last three months (I am going to watch this summer when I am out of school)
Desperate Housewives (see above)
CSI (the original)
AX Men
And, in other news. I have a summer trip already planned (not as exciting as Disney) but still a good time. I am taking the kids on the trainto Chicago to meet up with my mom and nephew J. We are staying downtown and we are going to see all the sights. I have been to Chicago once for a job interview, but didn't see a lot of the city so I am pretty excited. We are going to go to American Girl. The boys will have to suffer through it, but G and I are looking forward to it. Amtrax goes almost from our door to Chicage, so there is no need to take a car. Yahoo!
Melissa-I think Gokey should win, because I like him best. Adam was ok, but when he slaughtered the Johnny Cash song I gave up on him. The girl that made the obnoxious crowing sound was ok, but that did it for me with her as well. I also don't like how she does te weird twisting thing while she sings. Anoop doesn't do it for me either. I liked the guy that sang the Garth Brooks slow song last week.
Amy-Survivor! I am pretty jazzed I am watching it in 10 mins.
Amazing Race for those of you watching is sooo good this time. i kind of like all the teams, so it is hard. I think the dumb blonds need to go. They bug me!
Homeland Security? When, oh When is a new episode coming?
That's it ladies. Have a good week!

Your birds are so cute! I used to raise and breed birds when I was younger. They can be really sweet.
I'm glad P is feeling better!
Chicago is a blast!! I went there on a chartered bus trip with a bunch of my girlfriends a few years ago. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Hmmm, I don't think D would let us get birds. I think it would be kind of cool. Of course they would probably die since W is exercising his ability to cook...and scorch nonstick pans...
That's great that P isn't getting any more headaches.
You are so lucky that you are only an assistant leader. I was really enjoying just turning our meeting over to the firemen when we did our firehouse tour. One of the other moms even took it upon herself to bring juice and cupcakes for the boys. I think in celebration of our firehouse tour, we may do a "campfire" at our pack meeting Monday night, then they can eat their fire and leave.
Oh, a summer trip. That sounds like fun. I don't think we will be taking one of those any time soon. D has been told not to expect any time off during the summer. So, I think the most we can expect is our membership campground across the river.
