Hello Everyone~

Not much going on here.  Just the daily grind at our home.  I have been getting excited about going on our "long weekend" however we are not quite sure we are gonna go on it now due to a WHOLE bunch of work stuff going on for Derek.  I wish I could elaborate more but long story short there are lawyers involved.  HR did not do their job correctly.  Hopefully Derek's not in too much trouble but you never know...especially with today's economy.  Not much more I can say....Hopefully you can read between the lines and just know that it *STINKS* at our house right now.  More figuratively than literally. 

I have been keeping true to my word when I got my hair done in December that I was going to pay more attention to me.  I got my hair done again yesterday and I took Skyler with me to the salon.  She had a grand time!  She got her nails painted, was into everybody's business and dabbled in the makeup! 

The boys are pretty much done being sick.  Brett is I think all the way done but Ayden still has a runny nose and is fussy.  I believe this has more to do with the 55 teeth he seems to be cutting all at once.

Work is going good.  I have been picking up an extra shift or so here and there.  We are saving up to get the other side of our basement done along with adding some cabinets upstairs.... I am also trying to coax Derek into getting Bunk beds for the boys as they desperately need a remodel in their room.  Next, I want to add stone to the front of our house.  My to do list never ends!!!! 

I fell at school the other day so my back has been achy.  The entire parking lot was one thick sheet of glass.  Needless to say I am not looking forward to lunch today (I volunteer in the school lunch room on Fridays).  I just want to lay in bed!!

Hope all is well, with all of you.  Check out our new album online....

Love: Derek, Nikki, Skyler, Brett, and Ayden
