I finally got ahold of DH.
Currently she is still doing the same. We went to see her and she kept talking about DH. I have to wonder if her worrying about him got her worked up enough to have this stroke. sigh funny thing, I was all worried about DH on Tuesday too.
DH might be coming back to see her before he leaves, I left the decision to him.
I kinda think that since she's stable that he doesn't need to come (If her condition was deteriorating I would tell him to hop the next flight) and I also worry about MIL if he comes and then has to leave again. I won't tell him to not come.
SIL misunderstood what she heard on my phone call with DH and told MIL that he was coming...sigh! Now I'm a bit worried about her condition if he doesn't come too.
Just talked to SIL and there's a chance that they'll be moving her out of ICU the the neuro floor. She's still stable.
~~~~~~~~~
well today she seemed worse to us but the doctor said it was actually better.
As part of the healing she had more swelling going on so she was sleepier, couldn't stay awake long enough to talk and was less responsive. The doctor assured SIL that this is normal. SIL is a nurse and knows most of this...I was teasing her because she and MIL's nurse were talking "nurse speak" and I didn't understand it.
Oh and we found out that she was found on top of a lamp that was ON so she had a nasty burn on her stomach. The nurse told me she fell on a lamp when I called Wednesday night, but I didn't realize it was on and she had been on it since she fell. The burn was really bothering her yesterday so I requested that the nurse change her dressing early because MIL was so agitated by it...it did seem to help...I don't know what they put on it...I would have put something to numb the area though (that's what I do to my burns).
We have figured out that she was fine up to at least 10pm on Tuesday because she wrote down the results to "Dancing with the Stars." And although I didn't watch the nurse said it was on that late on Tuesday. But MIL didn't answer her phone at 7am on Wednesday and she wasn't found until she missed her doctor's appointment at noon. (remember she was on a lamp this entire time...OUCH!)
SIL was with her all day today and was helping with her care. She was showing us (BIL & I) some things and we realized that she has some control of her left leg. But when the physical therapists were working with her, she wasn't able to sit up or even stay awake for them while they held her up.
She wasn't moved to Neuro because there wasn't a bed available.
~~~~~~~~
Darly has been staying with her friend a lot lately while I've been getting the inlaws from the airport to the hospital. Darly stayed the night with them last night. I'm so very greatful that she has someplace fun to go during all of this. Yesterday Darly, our friends & I went to the Wildlife Animal Sanctuary. We had a great time and saw some beautiful animals...it is such a shame that we need a place like this. All of the animals there were bred in captivity and sold as pets. :( Stupid humans!
The inlaws now have the keys to DH's car so I don't have to be a taxi. DH is so funny (or at least I find his reactions to stress to be funny sometimes) his first thought is to call up the insurance and take his mom off the policy...and to worry about his siblings taking care of his car. LOL! The car looked just fine last night.
I finally had a good conversation with DH last night on my cell phone when I was at dinner with the inlaws. I was able to give him as much info as I knew and we both agreed that (with the help of flights not being available due to the holiday) for him to hang tight where he is for now. The doctors said that MIL still had another 24 hours until they considered her out of the woods for a repeat stroke. Depending on when she actually had the stroke that is sometime Sunday before 7am.
MIL's stroke was the kind where the blood vessel bursts in the brain ...they call it a bleed out. Apparently she had multiple bleeds in different parts of her brain and the doctor says she has a condition where this happens (I forgot those details).

prayer request for MIL
after spending the entire day at the park yesterday and then having dinner with friends I got home at almost 10pm to find out that my MIL had a stroke.
She's currently in the ICU and is stable...they said they were not planning any surgery and that they were planning her recovery therapy. When I called for an update this morning she was on her way to a MRI and I'll have to call back.
One SIL(#2) is on her way here and she's a nurse. I spoke to SIL #1 and gave her the update on what I knew.
I've sent DH an email, but I'm not sure if I should call up the Red Cross (how I would get a message to him immediately) as other than worry there isn't much for him to do right now.

Week in review
or update. Whatever you prefer.
First I'll answer a bit of fan mail (aka comments)

"she asked if I would cut off the 1/2 inch she wants. I probably could, but I like that her hair was done right. "
ROFL Hahahaha. Oh man, I love it.
OK Chick: What can I say? I'm setting trends, I'm setting trends. Not blogging, cutting my hair... what will I start next? ;)
To TC: well I was considering cutting my hair, but your pictures did convince me to go this short.

Congrats on getting the spoon for two dollars. I was going to ask if you tried haggling like George did in that one episode.
No I didn't have to haggle. The one shop had only name brands and this shop had a generic for what I was willing to pay.
Jen said...
What are these special spoons?
No there isn't anything special about them, it was just that the old spoons I had all broke and I needed new ones, but I didn't need a new ladel & spatula (cuz I don't use them) so buying a set wasn't worth it...I just needed to find the spoons.
Okay, now for the updates.
Last week I was asked to consider becoming a counter for our Church. So on Monday I went in. I was told the ladies start at 8:30...no one showed up until 8:45. LOL! The regular counters were eager to have some new blood. I was told that some of the current counters are ready to move on to other things and that one counter is really getting too old to be of any use. She can't see, she frequently miscounts and she doesn't cancel the checks correctly. However, this same lady gets offended if you point out her mistakes and after working with her, I don't think that she is at all ready to step down from this job. I'm sure she likes the company. After I got home I got a call from this lady and I was at first worried that I was going to get told off for redoing some of her counting...but instead she was checking to see if she could add me to the schedule. We'll see how this all comes out...I think the office manager would like for this lady to step down, but doesn't want to ask her to. I think she wants me to come in and reform it so that the older lady quits.
Tuesday, Darly & I went to The Melting Pot for a tour and chocolate fondue. I have to admit that I was very charmed by this place. I had been to the Melting Pot in FL and wasn't at all impressed with it. Honestly I was upset at paying so much for dinner and then having to cook my dinner myself! And there wasn't much of anything to make it seem special, going there really put a damper on a wonderful day for me, that was the day that DH asked me to be his DW.
But this Melting Pot has a very charming atmosphere, with goregous views. I may have to give them another chance, although the cooking my own dinner still doesn't appeal to me, perhaps we should go just for the chocolate!
After stuffing ourselves with chocolate we went with some friends over to a dance supply store in search of new leotards for Darly. (they were looking for their girls too!) But we struck out big time. They didn't carry the type that we like.
So then it was time for lunch and we went to a nice deli. Unfortunately they put mayonaise on Darly's "plain" turkey sandwich. she only ate the upper half that didn't touch the mayo. :p My gyro was totally delish though.
next it was time to get Darly's yearbook photo taken. Darly wanted to wait for a friend of hers to show up, but I learned later that she had already been there and gone. oops.
And then Darly went to gymnastics. She is really liking her new gym a lot. We found out that they are doing "Open Gym" this next session... Darly can come in and work on whatever she wants. So we'll be signing up for that soon.
Wednesday we went to the park with our friends...and I didn't get sunburnt...although the wind did try to blow us away. And Darly went for her final Confirmation class for this year...they went to the park and had ice cream...while freezing cuz it was cold outside.
I worked on my garden on Thursday & Friday...pulled a muscle in my back :p but got it all ready to plant.
Friday night I went to TNO while Darly went to her friend's house. I had yummy Pene pasta w/ Asparagus & Shrimp. I saved half of it for lunch the next day.
Saturday I went to two plant sales. The first one was done by CSU and even though the sale lasted until 1pm getting there at 11am wasn't a good idea. When I got there I was told that there were no more heirloom plants left. I was bummed. but I looked at the other plants and picked out a few. The "tomatoe lady" showed me a very nice plant that I agreed to buy. I then thought I would get a Celebrity tomatoe since they're super easy to grow...I picked up a nice looking plant and put it in my tray. As I headed to pay I happened to look at my plants and noticed that my "celebrity tomatoe" was really a Heirloom Cherokee Purple! I was in shock! I got an Heirloom and not only that it was a PURPLE tomatoe! How lucky is that? I figured it was meant to be. The tomatoe lady was surprised too but unfortunately couldn't give me any info on my find, so I looked it up online, there was no way I was looking this gift horse in the mouth!
The second plant sale was better advertised and pretty much sold out by the time I got there. :( But at least I got to use the restroom there before heading for the long drive home.
The tomatoe lady said that I needed to keep my plants protected for at least another 10 days or I could get a water wall and plant them. So I decided to stop at Wally World to get a water wall and see if they have a reel lawn mower. they didn't have either. :(
Then I headed to Tagawa gardens figuring that they MUST have a water wall...right? ummm not so much. The very nice floor manager said that they get that kind of merchandise in around January and by May have been sold out for some time...even the manufacturer didn't have any in stock. BUT he told me how to make a water wall myself. hee hee it was meant to be!
To make a water wall you take some steaks (the wooden kind, not cow!) and make a tee pee over your plant. Then take some freezer bags and fill them 3/4 full of water and attach them to your steaks. Tah dah! I'm off to the store for freezer bags so I can plant my tomatoe babies in the ground. woo hoo!
Dh called me last night and used his entire phone card on me! okay he talked to Darly too.
Today we went to Church for our last day of Sunday School! The kids brought in some really yummy treats, I probably ate way too much. Then in service we had Recognition of High School graduates, recognition of teachers, welcoming new members and a baptism!
DH called again today. I was in shock, but he's taking advantage of phone time when he can get it. I noticed after our call that he had computer time too cuz I got quite a few emails from him.
hummm should I go shopping now or mow the lawn? shopping! even grocery shopping is better than mowing.

WHoa! Time for an update!!!
I know I've been a slacker. No excuses, just slacking.
Well first you all wanna know how my haircut turned out...right? (humor me)
Here's the before:
and here's the after:
and here's the after:
that will be much cooler for the summer.And Darly got her hair cut too...here's her before:
and her after:
The following day Darly said that she wanted her hair shorter than that. I told her that she should have mentioned something while she was still there at the salon. Oh well, she asked if I would cut off the 1/2 inch she wants. I probably could, but I like that her hair was done right. I bet if I mentioned it now, she would say she's fine with it. we'll see when she reads this.
That was on Thursday that we got our hair cuts. On Friday we went to Girl Scouts and then brought home one of Darly's friends to stay with us so that her parents could go see the new Star Trek movie. I am pretty sure that everyone had an enjoyable evening. I liked it so much that I'm thinking that I'll invite one of her friends to stay over each weekend! hee hee Even though I had an extra kid in the house it really gave me a break...they played, I played on the computer. win win!
Saturday we took Darly's friend and met up with her parents at the Zoo. Some other friends came too, so we had a group trip to the zoo. The weather was cool enough that the animals weren't all sleeping (some were) but we got a nice visit at the zoo with lots of chatting. Darly & her friends made a pack of 4 girls who chatted the entire time, and then I got to spend some quality time with ADULTS! LOL! It was fun. We went to dinner at Panera Bread and had a great time there too.
Sunday after Church Darly & I went to Ihop for brunch. It was very busy there, but the wait wasn't too long, we chatted with friends from Church...and the food was yummy. When we got home we got a call from DH who is doing fine. He would much rather be at home though. He teased me "Did you get the flowers that I sent you for Mother's Day?" I said "You mean the yellow ones out in the front yard?" and he said yeah. LOL! Crazy guy. He also shared some of his training stories, they're working him very hard.
Then we drove down to the Outlet Mall and met up with our friends for some shopping. The girls just chatted, while us moms did some power shopping. LOL! I picked up some new corelle dishes and some pyrax bakeware. Oh and I got some new spoons. The first kitchen store we went to I found the spoons but they wanted $4 and up for them. I told my friend that I didn't want to pay more than $2 for them, so I didn't buy them. Then we got to the second store and they had them for $2. YAY! I stocked up.
After the mall we went to our friends house and had pizza dinner and watched a great movie. It was a really fun evening...oh and we watched the season finale of The Apprentice too. I didn't see last week's show, so I don't know how they ended up with Angie & Joan in the final, I wasn't very pleased with either. I don't know if I'll watch again cuz I'm getting fed up with the cat fights and obivious influence of the show's producer.
Well I see that my DH has sent me two emails while I've been working on this post, so I should see what he's up to.

Lemonhead Stylish Urban Accessories
Being a girl is so much fun! Getting all dressed up and such and having a daughter is one of the greatest joys of my life...it doesn't hurt that she loves to dress up too. That’s why we’re always looking for stylish hair accessories and Lemonhead has just that.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
We don’t use magnets/hot glue and NOTHING squeezed out of a bottle like silicone or rubber. Our premium patented GRIPSTRIP is made of a unique reliable material that is identical in every clip - that means you are getting the same feature every single time!!! We have also patented several processes to make the Clipeez and attach embelishments reliably to our Clipeez that is so secure it impresses every time.
MY REVIEW
We received a Clipeez and a Bandeez Headband to review. The first thing I noticed was the quality and workmanship that went into producing these pieces. Each part was put together securely and you can tell that they really had safety on their mind. No loose parts to worry about.
However, the best thing is that they look great our hair. Not only were the colors vivid and bright but they really stayed in place. A very important trait for hair accessories.
So if you’re looking to add something to that special outfit or for just everyday use, stop by Lemonhead and check out their vast selection of colors and styles.
Thanks Family Review Network & Lemonhead!

OYE!
Darly & I are doing really well on our own, but we've done this amount of time alone before. Things shouldn't get tricky for a while. I hope DH is able to call us soon though. :(
Today was Darly's first day at the new gym. And I wasn't happy. However, they had a good excuse. The owner was out sick, and one of Darly's new coaches messed up her leg so she isn't supposed to be spotting the kids at all. The owner asked her to come in to just work the phones. but then the second coach didn't come in tonight. So Darly's class got combined with another class. The other class was a small one, but it was all very young boys who had the attention span of gnats! I think I was more annoyed with two girls in Darly's class though.
The girls were hogging the equipment. when it was their turn, if they messed something up they backed up and went again, and again and again... and then after their turn they wouldn't get off the mats! I spoke with the coach about it though and she did try to keep those girls in line. Hopefully it's better when they have their normal class. And I did say something to the coach in front of one of their parents. (HAHA!) but who knows if he was even paying attention.
I was seriously thinking that I should put Darly on the team just so she would have a class with kids who were serious and not monkeying around. I just hope that the coach who didn't show up didn't quit. That would be sad to go through that again. sigh!
Today I finally called to get an appointment to get my hair cut...but I found out that my stylist moved...to a shop over near my old stylist. ugh! I think that the price they charge for a cut should be lower though, but this place charges based on the experience of the stylist...who knows what level they've put our gal at. We'll see. Darly wants her hair cut too. I should get before and after shots. We're going in on Thursday.

New Gym
Yesterday Darly & I went to the new gymnastics gym to have her evaluated. I knew I would like the owner right off and I did, he's just like his son. At the front desk when we walked in was a coach that we used to have at our old gym...she had to quit over there when she married our favorite coach. Okay, before I confuse you too much...let's give you a cast of characters:
Favorite coach (B) @ old gym is the son of the owners of the new gym (T & M) and the husband of the coach (A) who now works at the new gym but used to teach Darly.
So the evaluation was with the TEAM coach (D). He has been coaching for over 20 years and used to coach at a local college. In the evaluation they're supposed to just tell the girls what to do and watch them. But coach D couldn't help himself and gave Darly some pointers on how to fix up her skills. pointers that Darly should have been getting at her old gym but didn't. It was amazing how quickly she was able to straighten up her roundoff with just a few tips. I would really love Darly to be in this guy's class!
Coach D said that Darly has the foundation to be on the TEAM if she wants to. But he asked her and she said she didn't want to compete. And while I would really like for Darly to be in Coach D's class, this is really about her, not me. Coach D said that she could be in the intermediate class (where they work on the TEAM skills) and if she ever changes her mind, he would be happy to put her on the TEAM.
So we talked to Coach T (the owner) and he was willing to have Darly start that evening. We got to meet the coaches of the class and they both seemed very nice. Darly decided to wait until next Tuesday instead (I think she thought that she might have a chance to have a sleepover at her friend's house) and that sounded fine to me. So I filled out the paperwork and she's set for next Tuesday. And for now that works perfectly with her schedule. The new class is the same level as her old class and it is at the same time.
I've told Darly that it's all up to her. I hope she likes it.
I kinda think that she had other things on her mind. Yesterday we dropped DH off at 3:30am for him to head over to the sandbox. We're both doing okay, trying to catch up on our sleep. I'm trying to get our schedule filled up so that we can keep busy and fill the void. DH checked in last night with 5 emails mostly from the USO at the airport! I'm sure he'll be busy starting today, but I hope he's able to send us plenty of email while he is gone. Oh, I promised to send Darly his email address so she can write to him.

I'm trying to get our schedule filled up so that we can keep busy and fill the void. DH checked in last night with 5 emails mostly from the USO at the airport! I'm sure he'll be busy starting today, but I hope he's able to send us plenty of email while he is gone. Oh, I promised to send Darly his email address so she can write to him.

QUIT!
Tonight Darly quit her gymnastics gym. She's actually very happy about it, and I'm mad that it came to this.
We had thought that once the hockey season was over that her coach would be at the gym and that Darly could just try very hard to get the skills she needed to be out of this class by the time the hockey season started back up. We were even going to take some private lessons too.
But then the gym finally decided to hire a new coach. One would think this is a good thing, but apparently Mr Coach wasn't ready to give up teaching two classes at once. Did I tell you about that? Right before I sent him the email he had decided to combine Darly's class with his higher level class. Darly hated that because she doesn't like Mr Coach's way of teaching...frankly I don't either. He belittles the girls.
So we have the new coach and Mr Coach teaching Darly's class and his class. We were assured that this situation was just temporary until the new coach got the hang of things, but it has been long enough in my opinion. While one would think that two coaches might be better than one, you would be wrong. Two coaches start chatting during class and don't ever watch their girls! At one point the girls were chatting too because the coaches hadn't noticed that they had finished the last skill. sigh
Darly spent most of the time she was in class tonight rolling her eyes at me and making chatty hand signals. She came and told me she was bored, I suggested that she just sit on the floor. The coaches seemed to notice that and had the girls move on to something else.
And then they were on the bars. New coach had the girls just swinging on the low bar. Mr Coach wanted the girls to stand on the low bar and hop to the high bar and grab it, then swing a few times before dropping to the floor. For most of the girls he was grabbing them and carrying them through the jump, but for Darly and one other girl he was having them make the jump themselves. I'm not sure what happened, but Darly missed the bar. She hit her hands very hard on the bar, they were red. He must have said something because Darly was near tears when her turn there was over.
I flagged her to come to me and asked "Are you done?" she nodded. I gave her a hug and we got her stuff to leave. I didn't say anything to the coach. There's a chance that one of the other girls in the class was able to tell them that Darly left with me, but Darly thinks that she didn't notice.
I didn't get a call from the gym so I would assume they figured it out.
Every time Darly did a skill tonight she wasn't observed. The new coach for some odd reason kept watching the girls that were with Mr Coach. I was just getting madder by the second. I considered leaving with Darly many times before I finally pulled her out. I'm just sorry I waited until Darly got hurt to do it.
so I'll call the new gym tomorrow about getting Darly in. She's now very excited to try the new place out. I really hope that she likes the new coach, I just wish I could have said something to our favorite coach at the old gym, but seeing as he knows the owners of the new gym very well...I'm thinking that we'll still be in touch.

Weekend update 4/25-4/28
that's a long weekend! LOL! I've been meaning to check in here but things have been so crazy. Trying to get everything caught up around the house, toss in homeschooling coop and changing gyms and :p I'm beat!
Darly & I with some friends went to see Disney's Earth on Friday. It was very nice. Then we had lunch. fun day
Saturday we did loads of house stuff. DH went to turn on our water sprinkler system only to find that the pipe burst...again! It was the same pipe he had to replace last year. so he replaced that, then it was time to check the sprinkler heads...this year we lost 4.
Sunday we went to MIL's house and checked her sprinklers...she didn't loose any but she had someone "fix" her downspout and the "super intellegent" guy messed it up so it has a HUGE leak that directs the water flow right into MIL's basement! DH was out in the rain trying to figure out how he could fix that...it's going to take a total refit! DH is worried about his mom, it seems that of late she hasn't been making the best decisions.
Monday Darly & I went to a class on how to make trick photography with her digital camera. We then stopped by to check out a new gymnastics gym. The facility is really nice and now we need to have her evaluated to see what level this gym would put her in. When we came home I worked on the laundry and I was trying to get dinner ready and everyone fed so that I could be on the computer from 7:45 to 9:45 to work our homeschool co-op...well DH decided that he wanted to finish working on the sprinklers and he needed my help to turn on and off the sprinklers...meanwhile I was trying to do the laundry and fix dinner!
too much stress!
Today Darly & I went to a coop class on designing our own t-shirts... the folks have their own design transfer shop. they can put your logo on just about anything. It was all very cool and I had a shirt done too. I'll have to show you someday. ;)

Lessons learned about driving in the snow...
Bone got me to thinking more about doing this post. See here in Colorado it seems that too many folks THINK they know what they're doing when it comes to driving in the snow, but they don't! That's how we end up with so many accidents I think. So here's my tips for how to stay safe.
1) If the snow is over a foot and they haven't plowed the streets...STAY HOME! Really, nothing is going to be open anyway so your trip is just a waste of time that could kill you. Is it worth it?
2) If the bottom of your car doesn't clear the top of the snow...STAY HOME! You would think that one would be a given.
3) Sports cars were NOT made to drive in the snow. Get off the road.
4) Invest in a good ice scraper with a brush to sweep the snow off your car. Not only will you save yourself a lot of headaches, you'll be doing the same for other drivers. Any idea how scary it is to have a snowball the size of a basketball flying directly at your windshield from another car? Not FUN!
5) Have good tires on your car. It is bad enough that the snow causes a lack of traction but if your tires can't even reach the road you have no business being out there.
6) Now is NOT the time to show off your race car driving skills! If others are poking along there's a reason...we don't want to be DEAD! Slow down!
7) But don't slam on your breaks either. Keep a good distance between you and the other cars...don't change lanes into someone else's buffer. And don't stop at the bottom of a hill...you need that momentum to get up the hill.
okay that's all I can think of now, but if you know some other good tips, please put them in the comments!

Why do they call these things Slumber Parties???
Isn't the entire point of these parties to not go to sleep? That's the way I remember them and that's certainly the way Darly & her friends want it.
Yesterday I brought home 3 of Darly's friends from Girl Scouts and for a while it looked as if that was all that was going to make it thanks to the snow. But soon afterward another friend showed up. Everyone was filled with joy!
Darly and her friends went and made quick work of trashing her bedroom...and why did I have her clean it? Who knows!
They played the games that Darly had planned, they played. They had Cheeseburgers with Mac-n-cheese and chips instead of Pizza cuz I didn't want to risk going out in the snow again.
They played some more, and more, and more.
Actually these parties are pretty easy for me. I just make sure to keep the bellies full and remind everyone to wash hands and brush teeth. Darly is really the master of ceremonies.
I feel asleep on the couch and woke up around 3am. The girls were still playing but I told them to go to bed which they were all very willing to do. I probably should have had them eat their breakfast before bed...cuz they're sleeping through breakfast hours now. LOL!
The snow is still coming down like crazy, so I sent DH to work in my car. I may have the girls for a while now though cuz I don't think their parents want to try to come out in this to get them...we'll see what it looks like after noon.
Oh and my silly dog decided I should get up at 8am this morning! grumble grumble! The dog is currently sleeping!

DOH! Snow! UPDATE
I called up some of the other Girl Scout moms and we were all thinking "I would drive in this!" And so we did!
We made it to Girl Scouts and had a great meeting...we even had a new family come to join us! They were very nice and I hope to continue to see them.
The drive to Girl Scouts was fine...it was just raining. We can deal with rain!
About halfway into the meeting the rain switched to snow and soon after the snow began to stick...and stick good! So we high-tailed it out of there!
Oh my that was a very slow and interesting drive home. We only slipped once and didn't have too many worries. By the time we got to the town I live in the snow had let up again.
But it seems the snow followed me home!
I'm now here at the house with Darly's friends and they're not slumbering. But all is good...until we're snowed in tomorrow...ACK!

The Spare Wife – Book Review
Alex Witchels’ newest novel, The Spare Wife, brings readers into the world of socialites in Manhattan with a story full of secrets, affairs, fancy parties, and high society life. The single, divorced Ponce Morris, known as "the spare wife," navigates this world well, managing the lives of the powerful couples around her with grace. "She watches football with Stan Crandall, while Bitsy reads magazines in bed and thanks God she doesn’t have to; she plays golf with George Stein, because Carol only likes tennis; and not only does she go to Knicks games with Larry DeLynn but she lets him eat as many hot dogs as he wants and never tells Lila, who forbids him to have nitrates." Not only that – she also goes shopping with the wives, making her the perfect, non-threatening companion for everyone – until a young reporter suspects that she’s having an affair with the city’s most successful (and married) doctor. This book is as intriguing as it is witty, and the fun story combined with the biting satire make it the perfect waiting-for-summer read. You may not be lounging on a beach with a book quite yet, but The Spare Wife is still an entertaining escape.
This was a very intriguing book to read. The author kept everything up in the air the entire time…nothing was predictable. For me that’s a good thing, I get a bit weary of reading the same book over and over…well not so with The Spare Wife. It was totally original. I found myself towards the end of the book seriously worried that the main character, Ponce, wasn’t going to come out on top and this young reporter might actually win…oops! I guess that’s a bit of a spoiler for you, but I won’t tell you how.
The Spare Wife
Thanks to www.MotherTalk.com for another juicy read!
DOH! Snow!
hummm I don't think that Darly is going to be a happy girl today. sigh!
The weather folks were predicting that we would get a lot of snow. I didn't think too much about it because normally they are WRONG!!! But it appears that they might be right. sigh!
Today is Darly's sleepover birthday party. She invited 6 girls. So far one is sick (I hope she feels better soon cuz it's a yucky tummy bug!) and one has transportation issues (I hope the fix is easy and cheap!). So we're down to 4 girls.
But if this snow keeps going we may have to post-pone the party.
We're also supposed to have a Girl Scout meeting, but I'm seriously considering canceling it, cuz while the roads look great by my house, the snow is still coming down heavily and I would hate to get stuck out there. I don't like to go "dashing through the snow!"
sigh!
The problem is, the way it looks now...I would drive in this. Here the temps are high enough that the snow is only sticking to the grass.
What to do? What to do?

Where there's a will...
DH & I went yesterday to update our wills. Such a fun thing to do...sigh!
The reason that we needed to get this done other than the obivious is that DH will be heading off for an all expense paid trip to the sandbox here soon and they require that he have all his affairs in order. We figured that I should too just in case something happens to me while he's gone.
So we met with DH over at the Legal office after finding a parking space! Apparently there was an event going on in the next building and no one thought they were ever going to need that much parking! geepers! DH & I had to grab some of the only remaining spots in the parking lot across the street.
We go talk to our lawyer who talks us both into doing a lot more doccuments than we ever thought about, living wills and such...but it was all for the best.
I went in for some odd reason thinking that all of this was just to cover the few months that DH will be gone. Silly me! The lawyer had to remind me a few times that this is my will forever...until I need to update it. yoinks!
DH & I both with with the standard stuff...I get all his stuff, he gets all mine, etc... But then there's the "who gets the stuff if DH, I AND Darly all are gone?" hummm who does get it? So we had to figure that out. Turns out that legally if we hadn't made any specific request that the courts would go to our nearest blood relative...that would be our parents. Well I have one parent that I would rather not have any part of my estate...not that I expect this person to outlive me, but just in case. So we did find a way to legally exclude this person. Whew!
We filled out all the worksheets and then went to wait while the lawyer put our info into a will program I'm guessing cuz it only took about 15 minutes for her to have the final copies ready for us to look at. However, while we were waiting the receptionist brought over a form they had forgotten to have us fill out. This form basically says that it could be a conflict of interest for both of us to use the same lawyer to do our wills and knowing this we still choose to do this. LOL! Talk about shutting the barn door after the cows have escaped! Oh well, lucky for them DH & I aren't planning anything sinister and filled out their form.
Part of our paperwork was to get a living will and a medical power of attorney. The fun part was the organ donation part. DH doesn't believe in organ donation and I do. I figure, I'm dead...I don't need my organs anymore. If they're in good enough shape, let someone else have them and if they aren't let med students learn on them. DH is all creaped out by that is and really hoping that he goes first. But he also knows how I feel about burrial (I want to be cremated!) so that made him feel a bit better.
We're now all set...and hoping we don't need these for at least another 50 years.

Haagen-Dazs Five - Review
After running around all day, whether it's chasing toddlers or shuffling kids to and from soccer practice, Moms deserve a treat at the end of the day. However, for those of us watching what we eat and the ingredients in the foods we buy, we are sometimes limited in our sweet-toothed choices. Snacks that are packed with artificial ingredients are among those off-limits treats that we not only don't want to buy for our kids, but for ourselves.
Haagen-Dazs, original maker of super premium ice cream, now goes beyond their goal of using pure ingredients. The new Haagen-Dazs Five series is made from just five all-natural ingredients of milk, cream, sugar, eggs, and one hero flavor ingredient such as vanilla bean, mint, coffee, ginger, or milk chocolate. Using just five pure and simple ingredients naturally lends itself to an ice cream with one-third less fat. What makes me appreciate this clean label product (other than the taste, of course!), is that it's a dessert you can feel good about sharing with the whole family.
Discover Ice Cream…UNPLUGGED!
We’ve all appreciated the purity and simplicity of an “unplugged” concert where the sinter’s true voice and natural talent shine. The Haagen-Dazs brand matches that experience with the introduction of the Haagen-Dazs Five series… unadulterated flavor is focused on the simplicity and goodness of five simple ingredients. Those interested in clean label products will be thrilled with this superpremium ice cream. Now available nationwide. http://www.haagendazs.com/products/five.aspx
Okay so when I got the chance to review this product I had to think about it for all of half a second! ”Try Ice Cream? Hummm let me think about this… YUP!” LOL! So the day when our ice cream arrived it was pretty difficult to wait to try it. Darly & I decided that we would try a bit of each flavor that they sent to us. Like all Haagen-Dazs products this ice cream was smooth, creamy and very yummy!

X-14 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover - Review
I don’t know how you feel about cleaning the bathroom, but when I walk into mine I just wanna toss a bomb in there and start over! I’m pretty sure that the person who decided what materials and colors to use in there had never actually tried to clean a bathroom in his life…and the person who installed the tile in the shower…well let’s just say I hope this isn’t his day job! One of these days I hope that we’ll get the chance to re-do my bathroom… but until then I’m so thankful for products like X-14!
When I got offered the chance to review X-14 Mold & Mildew Stain Remover I jumped at the chance. I’ve used X-14 products before and love them. X-14 makes my life so much easier. I loved being able to just spray down my tile and walk away. There are other products out there that claim that you can just spray and walk away…but none of them hold a candle to X-14. This stuff really works!
