Jeremy vs. Toby (the cat)

Last night was my last class for the first summer session! I was able to get out early and surprise Jeremy with one of his favorite meals from Dinosaur BBQ for his birthday. It is so delicious! We then went over to his parents house to have some ice cream cake. It was a wonderful day for Jeremy until we came home...then all you know what broke loose!

I will give you some background information on Jeremy and Toby. First of all they have a love/hate relationship. When we were first given Toby he was a little kitten and the second day we had him Jeremy threw him on our bed and hurt his leg. Since then I don't think Toby has forgiven him. Toby is also jealous of my relationship with Jeremy. If Jeremy and I are snuggling on the couch Toby has to push his way so that he is in between us. I find it cute and funny but Jeremy does not. Well the other night Jeremy and Toby had a little altercation involving a glass of lemonade that was knocked over and both of my boys got mad at each other.

Last night we found Toby's revenge. He ended up going to the bathroom in Jeremy's closet. Jeremy told me that if the cat ever did it again (this is the second time) he would have to go or Jeremy would shoot him! So last night I had to kick my poor baby kitty out of the house! It was very traumatizing for me...I have a strong attachment to this cat, he was the first pet Jeremy and I had together as a family because he had Annie before we were together. I'm his mommy! I cried myself to sleep last night. I know I'm pathetic. This morning when I let our dog Annie out Toby kept trying to come back inside and I had to say no. My heart just broke. Jeremy says we can get another dog but I just want my cat back. I just wish they would get along...

Happy Birthday Jeremy!!!!

Today is my wonderful husbands birthday! I am so glad that he was born! =) I hope and pray that he has a wonderful day.

Life has become extremely busy this month. I am finally finishing up my first summer session class tonight though! We are still planning and organizing for LIFE 2007. I cannot believe it is only 4 days away! I'm slightly scared to be responsible for all of these kids. It's one thing to have something go wrong when it is only Jeremy and I on vacation but to have 6 kids depending on us is kind of nerve wracking! I hope I am organized enough and have it all in order. I guess I will find out soon enough!

24 Hours

I don't think 24 hours in a day is enough time. I just cannot seem to get anything done anymore. I think a day should be 28 hours. That way I would have enough time to sleep more and then I will not be so tired to get everything done.

On a brighter note....I am half way done with my June class!!! I'm so happy about that! Only 5 more to go! We also bought our plane tickets for our big family vacation with my Aunt, Mom, brother, sister, and cousins. I think we will have a good time. I hope that Jeremy and I can get a few hours to go off and have fun on our own. Sometimes I just get sick of being around a lot of people and need my own space. I cannot wait to have some fun in the sun!

Goodbye Joe!

This past weekend I went down to visit my family in NJ and see my cousin again before he moves across the country to California. I had a wonderful time! I really love my family! I wish I could go down and see them more often. Although now there are a few less since it seems both of my cousins will now be in California. I guess they are beginning our family's move out of NJ and to the west coast. I'm not sure if Jeremy and I will follow. At times we are tempted but then again at times we're not. I am jealous of my brother though because he is driving with Joe across the country and going to see some really cool sites! Plus I think they are going to see my best friend who lives on in California now so that makes me even more jealous! I just need more than 2 weeks of vacation time. Pray that I get a teaching job!

Late Picture Update

These are a few pictures taken from Memorial Day Weekend.

Spirit Week

This whole week we have been experiencing "Spirit Week" at work in order to boost our morale. Monday we were provided a delicious lunch, Tuesday we were given lot's of gum, Wednesday we played Pictionary based on song titles and also had smores, today was the day each row decorated their aisle in some type of patriotic theme. Our theme was "Fun in the Sun with Aisle One". We won! I will try to post some pictures but it does not do it justice. We brought in beach towels, sun screen, snorkle gear, etc to decorate each of our cubicles and then the printer cubicle we had a picnic with a grill and fake food, pool with rubber ducks and a bucket of sand with toys. It was actually a lot of fun!

Randomness

Last night we watched the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I did not enjoy it as much as the others. It might have just been the mood I was in because I was exhausted! But it was still an enjoyable evening spent with Jeremy and my brother. This is the last week he will be with us and I'm kind of sad about it. I forgot how much I enjoy hanging out with him and also how easy it is to get annoyed with him! =) He's spending next week back in Harrisburg and then going on a road trip with my cousin to help him move out to Orange County, CA. I'm so jealous they get to drive cross country! I know I'm a dork but I think it would be so much fun to rent an RV and drive across the country and visit a bunch of historical sites and see as many National Parks as we could. Maybe someday I could talk Jeremy into doing that with me!

Slightly irritated...

Ok so I am in Graduate school, taking Grad classes. I thought these classes were going to be hard but they are not. I know I shouldn't complain about this but last night just put me over the edge! We are required to read chapters in the book. Yet the professor just lectures and gives a powerpoint presentation from the chapters in the book. We are having a quiz tomorrow and she told us what we need to know for it based on the powerpoint slides. Why did I have to spend $96 on a book that I don't really have to read since we're just going to get the powerpoint version in the next class! I have a brain and would like to use it every once in awhile! I would rather read the chapters and not go to class or just go to class and get the powerpoint. Since I have to go to class I'm just not going to read the book. I don't know how much money I've wasted on books for these classes....I cannot wait to be done. Only 17 more classes to go. =(

Life get's too busy

Wow this week has flown by and I have not had a chance to post yet! I guess I will do a little recap from my Memorial Day weekend...if I can remember!

Friday-- I think we just watched a few episodes from this past season of LOST and ordered chicken wing pizza. The pizza was good and of course LOST is addicting!

Saturday -- We woke up early and headed to Lake Ontario to help Jeremy's parents launch their sailboat and sail it to the yacht club where they keep it during the summer. It was very chilly in the bay area but when we got out onto the lake the wind died and we had to motor the whole way. The one good thing was that since there was no wind it was warm! I took a nap and ended up getting an interesting sunburn. That e vening when we returned Jeremy mowed the lawn and I started to do some cleaning. One of my good friends came home for the weekend and her parents live across the street from us so we went out to dinner. I love going out to eat!

Sunday -- We skipped church! I know we are heathens! I basically did laundry all day long and did a lot of "spring" cleaning. I'm not a fan of cleaning so when I'm in the groove I best not stop! That evening we ended up watching the rest of the LOST episodes! I cannot wait till next season comes on!

Memorial Day-- Two of our couple friends came over and we went hiking/geocaching up to a hang glide area. Geocaching is an activity where you look up sites online at geocaching.com and can find locations anywhere in the world. People have hidden caches and listed their corridinates and you just plug them into your handheld gps and try to find them. It's kind of like a treasure hunt but you leave it where you found it. Sometimes you can take something from the container but you have to leave something in its place. After we went hiking we had a bbq and just relaxed.

I will try to post pictures but Jeremy always seems to have the camera with him.

Ok this post is getting long so I will end soon. I started my classes this week. 2 down 8 more to go for the first summer session...then 10 more and I'm done with my Masters! I cannot wait. The classes are 2 nights a week from 6-10 pm so it makes for a long week. Plus this week has been very busy at work. But the week is over with soon! Woo hoo!

Alright I'm done for now!
