Polar Express

So I cant even to begin to explain my excitement! My sister-in-law was telling me the last time we were in Lubbock about the REAL Polar Express that they are having in Lubbock!!! I got really excited just to find out that they are COMPLETELY sold out. So it has been in the back of my mind ever since. WELL, I was talking to my Mom about it last night and decided to look it up online and come to find out they are not TOTALLY sold out! We reserved tickets for a Sunday night, but hey, we got tickets! You have no idea how much Ty LOVES the movie and he is going to be sooo pumped when he sees he gets to go on a REAL train. Basically you get on this train that takes you to the North Pole and while you are on the train you drink hot chocolate and hear the story of the polar express and when you get there Santa gives each child a sleigh bell to keep!! AND you are supposed to wear your pjs and the whole 9! I'm soo glad I checked on it! Also, I cant believe Thanksgiving is coming up so fast. The store has been crazy busy! I just spent 1 hour glazing all the crap from this past weekend! I'm so glad cause we really needed business to pick up! We are going to be in Levelland for Thanksgiving this year and Friday in Shallowater. That is AFTER I do my psycho black Friday shopping this year. Ha! No really! I am that psycho lady who is in line at the toys r us at 4 in the morning freezing her butt off! Crystal and I have a method of action and you better bet your ass we get the best deals! I save so much money by shopping that day, you have no idea! I even go to www.gottadeal.com to get the ads early so I can map out our route early! Its sick, I know! Ha! I showed Raegan how to put her baby "night night" by covering her up with a blanket. Something as simple as that has the child so intrigued! She spent an hour covering and uncovering her baby and saying night night! Its hysterical! Ty told me today that a kid in his class kicked him in the (he pointed to his crotch) and didn't exactly have a word for "it" at the time. I asked him if the kid got in trouble (cause you know if it was Ty he would have been in deep crap with his teacher) and he said NOPE. He didn't. All he had to do was apologize. And I said well that's not right! And Ty very calmly said....."Yeah, he didn't have to pull one of his cards! He kicks ME in the Knuckles, and HE doesn't get in trouble!" Yep...the "knuckles". Hes so confused! I cracked up and didn't even correct him. I am waiting for Matt to get home so I can see his face when Ty tells him he got kicked in the "knuckles"! Too funny! AND, on another note! I finally finished the Twilight series (Crystal insisted I read them and I did....not impressed!) and I need new ideas on a new book to read! Any ideas?

I can't even explain how crazy Lubbock was this past weekend, and in case you missed it I posted the winning scenes from the game!! We tailgated and everyone we were with went in to the game except Matt, me, and Kyle's mom. We watched it all go down on tv and it was sooo exciting. When we won & all I could do was grab some lady I didnt know and high fives and hugs all around. It was the most exciting thing I have ever witnessed. 53,000 people and that was not including all the people in the lot with us and all over campus! It was nuts! It was so much fun to be a part of it all, and Kristina and I yelled at the passing fans for a good 15 minutes! I hope they keep it up for next weekend with OSU.

Not much.

to say! I dont have anything to say but feel obligated to blog more! So here ya are...a post from me. Dont get too excited, I know. The only thing exciting that happened to me today was making an appointment to get my hair cut. It is a life changing event according to Matt! I might have to spend $40 or so bucks to look halfway decent. Here is the conversation we had in the car the other day. Me: I need to make an appointment to get a haircut Matt: Your hair looks fine you dont need it. Me: You know most women go get their hair cut and colored about every 6 weeks. Matt: no way Me: yep just call Kristina and ask her! ( knowing that she does go every six weeks) Matt: I WILL! (calling Kristina)How often do you go get your hair cut? REALLY? Why so often? Oh. I didnt know that. I dont know (asking me) how long has it been since you got a hair cut? Me: 8 months! (I can hear Kristina yelling at Matt) Matt: ok thats all I needed! CLICK! Basically that is how it went down! I have been wearing one of those claw clip things in my hair for months and I got so desperate for a change I cut myself bangs one day! Yeah BANGS. not just any ol bangs but the rolled under kind. I look like Rainbow Bright for Christ's sake! Im a lame ass mom who stopped giving a shit what I look like about 3 years ago! Its official! Matt could give two hoots cause we dont go out and do anything to look decent for, Ty only notices his own need for a haircut because his hair is too long to spike up and its pissing him off, and Raegan only cares about yelling at me 24-7. We will see how it turns out and I plan on scheduleing it pretty regularly.... Ha!

No pics!

How frustrating! My camera is on the fritz and I cant up load any of the pictures from the pumpkin patch this past weekend or the pictures from Rendee's shower! CRAP! But I can put a picture of my new car!! YEP....I traded the mountaineer. I was so tired of all the trouble we were having with it so for $40 more a month we could have a new car!! I LOVE IT!! It is a red Ford Fusion and it only costs $30 to fill up rather than the $80 with the mountaineer. We have officially downsized. I have mixed emotions about the size but the newness is pretty darn fabulous!! Anyway. Tyler is doing great at school lately. I figured out the secret. If he gets a sticker for the day then we go get ice cream....needless to say we have gone for ice cream the past 3 school days. Pretty genius if I do say so myself! Ha! His teacher is such a ......for lack of anything nice I will leave that to your imagination..... she is so hateful! I was standing outside as the line walked up and the kids have to give her high five before they can go to their parent. Well Ty is standing in front of her with his hand in the air and she says, "Ty, wait!" and proceeds to name off names of kids whose parents she sees finally after everyone is gone she looks at Ty and says, "ok now go". I hate her. I hate to say she is picking on my child but I think she is. Its pretty bad when another parent approaches you as you go to your car and says she did the same thing to her kid the year before. "She is just THAT WAY" they said. Sheesh! I have a feeling I will be meeting with her in her conference period soon.....before Christmas maybe! All of this "trouble" Ty is in is starting to get really old. Raegan....man! She is a hand full. It just started one day and as not stopped. I don't know if we will make it to 2 without me ringing her neck! She is sooo sweet but she has figured out how to pull her weight around here and I and seem to get her to stop shrieking MOMMY when ever Ty is in the vicinity, or has something sh wants. She is driving me nuts! As for everything else....well....the BIG GAME is son Saturday and I cant be more excited!! We are heading to Raiderland on Friday and trick- or -treating my old stomping grounds and tailgating on Saturday! We don't have tickets to the game but plan on drinking lots of beer and watching it in the parking lot! Cant wait! Mom is watching the kids and we will be with Kyle, Kristina, Kyles family, and Crystal & Donny! Its going to be good and I think we have a chance of beating them! Ill let ya know how it all turns out! Julie
