Current mood:

chipper

Let's just remind ourselves of how crappy i feel. My throat is tickling. You know that really annoying tickle you get in the back of your throat. So you try to itch it with your tounge and that really doesn't work. And then you stick your finger in your mouth to itch, but it's just a really awkward feeling. Well, that's what I've been having all day. It's so ridiculous.
I don't want to go to school tomorrow. And I hopefully will be "sick" so i won't have to.
Speaking of tomorrow, tomorrow is my mom's birthday and thursday is my dad's. I blew up a picture of my mom and grandpa from her wedding. It's pretty gorgeous, I must say. For my dad I got him a pair of slippers that have a red "W" (for wisconsin) embroidered on them. He probably will like them. Then i got them 6 episodes of the andy grifith show because i know they love it. and it was only $1 for 3 episodes. Then they can get some use out of the DVD player.
Today I went to the winter concert at Lincoln. A bunch of my kids from kids korner were singing. It was so really fun because i remembered when i had to do that kind of thing. And how mrs. lauterbach (the devil woman) would tell us that we couldn't talk to each other during the program because everyone would see us and we would look stupid. She wasn't wrong. They do look pretty silly when they're talking and laughing and not paying attention. But that's what kids do. I loved every minute of it.
McKenna is my favorite kid. And she always invites me to her concerts and such. Last tuesday I went to her violin concert. She just started playing in the begining of the year, i believe. then she is the one who invited me to this one. McKenna's family just built a new house and they're moving in on the 24th. I really want to get them a house warming gift. I think I'll make a batch of cookies for the family and bring them a card. Then I want to make a fleece blanket with horses on it for McKenna. I want to get some Yu-Gi-Oh cards for Noah. Then I want to get her youngest brother, Isaah, a truck or something. I'm excited for this.
Megan's coming home this weekend. Hopefully baby comes then, too. I can't wait!
THURSDAY IS THE TRUE CHRISMUKKAH!!!! Allie is having a get together. And we all have to bring a generic type of gift so that we can exchange it with anyone. You know, we're doing it like when we were in kindegarten. Where you just pick from a pile of gifts. This is going to be the best Chrismukka ever!!!
I really don't think I'll go to school tomorrow. I feel bad about abandoning my husband, Bart, but I really am not in the mood for having babies. Or being in school. Same difference.
This getting gifts for friends is WAY harder than I thought. I have to get gifts for people who get them for me. So.... Megan, Mel, Scott, Joanna, Jenna. I think those are all the ones. This is VERY VERY hard.
I need to finish my Christmas cards, too. Hmmm. Maybe I should work on that right now. Since i haven't even opened my backpack, and don't exactly plan on it. I think that's what I'll do. Christmas cards.
I need a boyfriend. Love, Actually keeps playing over in my head and that makes me think christmas + love = perfect. So..... i'm only half way there. Really, go ahead. Find me one. I probably am i little picky, but i think you know what I like.
Anyway, that's all i've got.
Love,
Amanda
