I know... its been a while. Been busy, you know. And now that the weather is getting better, we haven't been home too often. And if we are home, we're playing out back enjoying the sunshine :) Its about time too, it was beginning to feel like it would be winter till December!

What have we been up to??? Not to much, to tell you the truth, but its just been a busy few weeks lately. This week was exceptionally crazy - and kinda messy too. The sewer backed up into our basement (very icky and smelly and gross). There's just something about trying to clean that up... you know exactly what it is and you just gag and want to puke. I have no problem cleaning Christophers crappy butt, but clean up crappy sewer stuff... ew.

What else... Chris is now full time at the same daycare as Joey. He started last week just going for 10-15 minutes in the morning when I dropped Joey off. Today was his first full day. When I dropped him off, his teacher told me to feel free to call as often as I wanted to check on him. I laughed and told them no, I wasn't worried about him at all. I was more worried that they'd tell me to come and get him and that he was a miserable demonic child! But nope, apparently he was a great kid today. We'll see how long it lasts for!

Joey got new shoes this weekend... again. I just bought him new runners a few weeks back, but they were just plain old runners, no cartoon characters or anything on them. I think that maybe he was being picked on for not having "cool" shoes because he was making up all kinds of excuses not to wear them. I feel really bad for him - he's only 5 and already kids are teasing because of what he wears. One little kid even told him that he wouldn't play with him because he had Diego on his shirt and he didn't like Diego. If I were that kids mother, I'd knock some sense into him - teach him that it doesn't matter what a kid wears, they're still cute and loveable and wonderful (at least my kid is, anyways!)!

Jason went to a bachelor party in Niagara Falls this weekend. Don't know all the details, but I'm sure that the guys had a great time! I just wish that I could have seen Mark in his little pink tutu... that would have been a sight to see :)

Jason's really enjoying having the Nikon. He hasn't been out to get any pictures in a week or so, but the few that he is able to take here and there are great! Its becoming a bit of a competition between Jay and my brother Kevin to see who can post the better pictures. Kevin's pictures are great, but I have to say sorry Kev, Jay's bubble picture was awesome! Check it out on the link for the Braniff Photoblog! (And leave a comment, make Jay's day!!!)

Work is still same old, same old. I'm enjoying it more, surprisingly enough! I've had to do quite a bit of problem solving on some deals lately, and I like doing that. Trying to figure out the numbers and make everything work is sometimes frustrating, but it feels good when I make it work and can actually close the deal. This is where I pat my own back and say "Way to go, Mel!"

Ok, I've talked enough tonight. I've gotta go and fold laundry and get to bed so I'm all bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow :)

And just in case you're wondering, no - I haven't been drinking tonight, I'm just in a good mood and that's why I'm talking (writing) so much! :)
