my nail tips that is. Last night, while chasing Knoxie around I broke one. And lo and behold, underneath, my own nail was growing!!!!! So that started the process of me taking the rest of them off and surprisingly my nails look quite good. I kept putting off going to get them filled because I can't justify fake nails. I do this like every 2 years. I go and get tips put on and within a month they're off. It's like for a time period I get caught up in society's idea of everything having to look pretty and perfect so I get my nails done. LOL Seriously, those that know me know I don't wear makeup everyday, could care less what my hair looks like (ie I get hair cuts maybe once a year), etc. But there are some days that I look down at my hands and see the short stubby nails and succumb to society's ideals.

I have this nail stuff that Sean bought me years ago that when I do use it, my nails look awesome. But again that's maintenance on me and that's just not who I am. So, we'll see how long my own nails stay looking good. I give it a week…. if that.

was a good one. Saturday we did whatever we felt like. And that consisted of running to Target for a few things (had to get a birthday gift for a party Caelie was going to on Sunday, had to get new goalie gloves for Tristan and Tristan also had 2 GC's to use there as well). Then after that we went to the Celtic Festival in Zephyr Park. It was……….OK. Been to better. And the weather was awful…cold and raining. We stayed for about an hour before heading home.

That night I met my friend Kelli near I-4 and we headed out to Orlando together to see our friend Shannon. Halfway there Shannon called…she was throwing up. So we turned around and came back home. We had a quick dinner together and decided to call it a night. It was nice to get to visit with her, but we were both tired and just wanted to go home.

Sunday was a fun day. Kids had CCD in the morning and then around lunch Caelie and I headed down to Brandon to the Ice Sports Forum (where the Tampa Bay Lightning practice) for a birthday party for one of her soccer teammates. We had a great time. Yes, I was out on the ice skating my little butt off. And boy did that bring back many memories. I didn't fall once! But my back is killing me today because Caelie fell alot! The forum is cool though, has a bar and everything. A definite place to go back to.

While we were skating, Tristan had his science invention partner over to work on their project. They are almost DONE!!!! It's due March 13th so they have to get it done by the weekend being we'll be away. I just CANNOT wait for it to be done and handed in!

After skating, Caelie and I headed right to Kieran's TBall game. He looked so cute out there…so little. They only played 1 inning though because the game was supposed to start at 4:30 but for some reason they practiced for over a half hour and before we knew it, after 1 inning another team needed the field. But the kids still had fun and it was nice hanging with Tammy, Russ and Brenden for a bit. We won't be at next weeks game being we'll be in Naples for the Region C Cup but we're looking forward to the game following this coming weekend.

All in all it was a nice, family weekend.

For the past 2-3 weeks my eyes have been watering and itching like cazy. I figured it was just allergies being it's allergy season here (which I am not used to-haven't had my allergies act up this badly since I was little and back in NJ the season for that was fall). I tried using Visine and that lasted maybe 20 minutes to an hour at best. I was trying not to rub them but they ITCH so badly. So today I went to the walk in clinic to get some relief and make sure it's not pink eye. My assumption was confirmed, it's not pink eye just allergies so she gave me a script for eye drops and also a script for Allegra! YAY! I used to have a script for Claritin but it did nothing for me.

So, now my eyes are taken care of. Now just need to make an appointment for my sleeplessness and waking up at least once a night gasping for air. My blood pressure today was 94 over 64. It's normally low for me but not that low. And so many people have commented on how pale my lips have been lately. Need to go make that appointment I think. Make it and get it over with. 

Today is a day for doing nothing! Ya hear that? Nothing. There's no where that we have to be, nothing that HAS to get done, etc. And it feels AWESOME! Didn't have to get up early and be here or there. It's been a nice relaxing morning. One we haven't had as a family in a VERY long time. I so cannot wait for an entire weekend of having to do nothing!!!!! That won't be this weekend because tonight I'm off to Orlando with my friend Kelli to see our long lost college buddy Shannon. I can't even remember the last time I saw her. Probably when I was up at PSU Main Campus but that was over 10 years ago. I can't WAIT to see her. Wonder if she still looks the same, acts the same. She sounds the same in her emails so we'll see.

Then tomorrow the older two have CCD in the morning. Then Caelie and I head on down to Brandon for an ice skating birthday party for one of her soccer teammates. And last but not least Kieran has his first TBall game at 4:30.

Today though is for relaxing up until I have to leave. We might go to the Celtic Festival at Zephyr Park, or we might go look at mini vans for me, or we might even go and get Kieran a much needed new bed. But it's SO nice to be able to decide all of this on our own. It's nothing that HAS to be done ya know?

Ok, off to pay some bills that I've been neglecting and then off to do…whatever.

Do you ever feel like that whatever you do, is just sometimes not enough……even though what you DO do is alot? After today I'm done doing the “not enough”. It gets exhausting sometimes.

On another note Sean came home early and I'm so happy. Besides my mom and my bf Kim (and now even The Pub sometimes) he's my sound board on some things. Even though some things I shouldn't tell him because there's no middle ground with him, no grey area….it's all black and white where with me there is some grey. But there are some things really bothering me (not about him) so I know tonite he'll be my soundboard whether I like his answer or not. And most likely, I won't. LOL BUT, he'll be right.
