I FOUND A FEW MORE PICS OF MY BRO.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER, GREG!!!

I miss you like crazy and hope you are having a great day!!





Sorry I havent blogged Ive been real busy. This is our school vacation week and ive been working so much. There was no movie night tonight because nothing good came out. Last weeks movie, American Gangster was so horrible I still cant get over it!! Next week should be great. Into The Wild is coming out directed by Sean Penn and i absolutely love him!!! Its based on a true story so Im hoping for greatness!! Monday Rich came home from work early and took the kids to see The Spiderwick Chronicles. It was his first trip to the movies alone!!! I didnt worry at all I went to the gym and they had a blast!! We also saw Alvin and the Chipmunks I thought it was really cute. Well thats it for now. Ill post again real soon I promise....................

OK HERE GOES...............

I've been tagged by my cousin Mary, over at the Shaughnessy Family blog.

Rules for the “Five Random Facts”:Each player starts with five random facts/habits/stories about themselves. Anything will do. Be creative. The person who is tagged needs to write a post on their own blog (about their five things) and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose one person to get tagged and list their name/blog. Don’t forget to leave a comment on their blog telling them they’re tagged and to read your blog.

Ok this has taken me forever to do not only because im so busy but because what could people not know about ME!! I had know idea what to write so im gonna start with my own scary time when my oldest son was born... Richard was born @ 29 weeks and barely wieghed 3lbs. One really snowy day i woke up and was having contractions so i went to the hospital and sure enough i was in labor when the doctor "checked me" she said there were 2 very tiny feet sticking thru my cervix and I was ready. The hospital in my town didnt have a NICU so my mom and i were taken by ambulance in about 3 feet of snow (the scariest drive ever!!) to Nashua which is about 2 towns over to Southern NH Med Ctr. where i met my ob/gyno who has now delivered all of my babies..... We were extremely scared because as we all know the risks with premature babies so they tried to stop my labor for a week it was the longest week ever and i was in labor the entire time. so finally on sat march 10 2001 they decided they had to take him by c section (he was breach) so they did and unbelievably he came out breathing on his own (which was a huge deal and there biggest worry) he was this very very tiny person that noone could hold and spent 4 weeks in an incubator. the worst part of all this was going home from that hospital with no baby........... i am tearing up right now just talking about it. Thank god (and i do every time i look at his face!!) he was fine and just had to gain some wieght eat on his own and have no apnea spells he could go home which took 4 vey long weeks and most of you know i took him home the day before my baby shower!! so the doctors say now you would never know he was a preemie (hes the shortest one in his class and still a very small kid but a huge eater!!). And how about I got pregnant with Juliana almost before Richard should have even been born....... Crazy!!

these pics arent the greatest but here goes...

WE FINALLY GOT TO MEET HIM!!!

AND WE FINALLY GOT TO TAKE HIM HOME.........

THAT WAS SO LONG.......

OK the next thing about myself is i absolutely hate food on a bone it turns my stomach and its not because I like animals and feel bad for them becuase just like my cousin Jeannie I hate animals especially dogs when they come near me i cringe and want to swear.

but just the thought of putting a chickens leg any where near my mouth disgusts me i like chcken and will eat it just never from the bone so no ribs or wings or really anything messy i have to touch with my hands. which brings me to my next random fact i have a hard time using spoons to eat i just dont lile them i love ice cream but would prefer to use a plastic spoon. And I especially hate soups and chowders. its a texture thing i cant put liquid and chunk in my mouth at the same time its so groooooooooosssssssssss!!!

So ive said alot about myself lets see if i can come up with one more..............

ok heres one that i really had to think about and dont want to freak my mom or anyone else out but before rich and i got married him and i were what you would call a "booty call" he would go with his friends i would go with mine and when it was convienient we would "hook up" no strings it was great ...............oooooohhhhhhhhhhh have we come a long way!!!! I know ma thats gross!!

So thats all i got so who should i tag now.......................LISA its all u!!!

IVE BEEN TAGGED........

Im gonna do it I swear I just need some time.........I have to work alot this week and next but Ill do it!!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

I LOVE YOU!!

oops i almost forgot.........

Heres another real quick post about movie night. We had time to actually watch 2 because work was really slow. So Gone Baby Gone was awesome ive seen it twice now and was still on the edge of my seat AND Rich actually stayed awake through the entire movie which is a huge deal in our house so even he enjoyed.
Then we watched No Reservations which was really cute but really predictable. The first 20 minutes were really sad and I sobbed. Then cried 3 or 4 other times throughout. laughter and tears are my favorite emotions.........
My biggest thing about this movie is how much Catherine Zeta Jones looks just like my couisin Katie in this movie an unbelievable resemblance (youd have to see it to believe it!!) OK tonite im watching martian child and we own the night. ill let you know...............

CHUCK E CHEESES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

ASH WEDNESDAY

So anyone who knows me knows that I go to moviescene every solitary tues. morning after I drop the kids off at school. I wait IN LINE with the rest of the people who have to get the new video releases the day they come out for only $1. So I decided that I would use Wednesdays blog to comment and rate on the movie I watched the night before! Sounds silly but I do do this every week and now I have my friend from work join me every tues night for "movie night" (anyone else is more than welcome to join just please BYOB!!!)

Well yesterday the only new release that somewhat struck my interest was Jodie Fosters The Brave One. I am not a huge fan of her manliness but there were just no other choices. The story in the movie itself was good. Its about her in love with a man and some gang members beat them and he dies so she needs justice so starts killing people that do wrong......etc etc... I thought it was extremely dragged out and awfully predictable. Would I recommend it? Probaly not unless you like overly long movies with Jodie Foster starring as a "romantic psycho w/a gun". However stay tuned because next week is a very important movie rental date and I will have to get in line extra early. Some movies I have been waiting for are finally coming out.

Gone baby Gone (I did see this one in theatres awesome awesome awesome I need to see it again it might even be a buyer)

Martian Child (w/John and Joan Cusack I absolutly love them)
No Reservations (Catherine Zeta Jones)
We Own The Night (Marky mark enough said!!)
Romance and Cigarettes a musical love story with alot of big names

(which i am still not smoking by the way!!!!)

Well I have tonight off from work so Rich and I will catch up on some tv favorites like Prison Break, Idol and Intervention. My new favorite show is Breaking Bad on AMC wierdly hilarious!!!


Also Juiliana is selling Otis Spunkmeyer cookies for school if anyone is interested please let me know the more we sell the more they take off for tuition at the end of the year!!!!!
