Back In Action
So apparently it is time for me to pay my little blog some attention. It has been long neglected and needs a little loving. So as of today I am making a committment to post at least twice a week (hopefully more). I need to get back in the swing of things and start writing again. I have a bunch of stuff from over on my Macaroni Kid website that I am going to be sharing here as well. Let the fun begin!

Waiting
So some of you may or may not know that in my "work" life I work for the government. I have been a happy government worker for 10 years this May. That is until today.
The threat of this ridiculous government is driving me crazy!! I honestly don't care one way or another what happens I just want to know what is going to happen. I am impatient. I always have been. I love the idea of an extra couple of days off, even if I don't get paid for them, but I hate the idea of not being able to plan for them. I hate not knowing if I have to work all day Monday. I just want to know and it is currently making me a crazy person. I am stalking CNN. I can't put my phone down because I am constantly checking the web. I am beginning to feel like a lunatic.
So bare with me in my crazed state. I had planned to come on and post about something completely different but I can't think about anything else right now. Furlough-cation here I come!

Oh wow!
Well I just saw that it has been just over a year since my last blog post. That doesn't really make me a blogger, does it? I had intended to start this blog so like a lot of bloggers could have a living history of my boys. And, that didn't happen. Life happened......
But I decided I would start writing again so that I don't go crazy. The past year has been the hardest year of my life and I am still not fully recovered from that year. I want to be though, and in all honesty don't have time to see a shrink so I am going to see if writing helps me get by without paying someone. : )
So I will fill you in really quick on what has been going on. The boys are getting bigger than ever. I am know the proud momma of a 10, 6 and 4 (soon to be 5) year old boys. In the fall all of my kids will be in school, and I will be a big puddle of mush at the idea that I no longer have a baby (at least not one that I can convince that he is a baby). I am in awe that my kids are going to be this big. I certainly have not wrapped my head around it.
So in addition to the boys getting bigger, I also started a new business. I have been a publisher for Macaroni Kid for almost a year. I am at week 50! Only 2 more weeks until I hit my 1 year anniversary. It has been a wonderful experience and I am so proud to say I am part of the Macaroni Kid family!
In edition to those great things, the saddest day of my life also happened. My best friend, Nicole, lost her battle with melanoma. It happened so fast that I know that non of us were truly prepared for it, not that you can ever be but I can honestly say that even though I knew it was coming I was in no way prepared for what that meant. I am still trying to figure out what it means and I am sure will share so much more here, because as I said I am to busy and to cheap to pay my money to a shrink (which would super piss Nicole off!)
So stay tuned folks, I promise to be back more often. I am hoping to carve out at least a little time at least once a week to check in, but know me and how I operate there will probably be 10 posts in 5 days and then nothing for a little while until I find my groove.

Well I missed it
I missed the first elimination on DWTS tonight. I was slightly bummed when I realized it, then when I found out that Brenda Walsh oops.. I mean Shannon Doherty had been voted off I was glad I hadn't really missed anything. I mean she really has no personality, well at least not a good one. Everytime I see her I still am hoping to see the crazy old school Shannon from the early 90's. Now she just seemed boring, so unfortunately for her her dancing days are over. Oh well.
So you are probably wondering where in the world I was on this fine Tuesay evening. Where else but every kids favorite place and every parents worst nightmare... Chuck E Cheese
Some friends of ours from out of town were here and wanted to celebrate their kids birthdays and so they graciously invited us along for the adventure. Who am I to say no to a giant mouse and skee ball? Mike was going to come along and meet us later after Zach's lacrosse practice, lucky for him he wound up at the wrong Chuck E Cheese!!! Poor thing...okay not really, I think he actually felt bad for missing the fun, but I really think it was really all a big plan to get out of being beaten at air hockey by a 3 year old. (Matt has a serious knack for that game and soon enough we will be taking out to bars and placing bets on him).
We did all finally make it home safely and full of pizza and chocolate cake and I can now say I have no need to go back to ChuckE's for at least another year!!

My other love
For those of you that know me IRL you know I have an obsession. I love my family, my boys are my heart, but there is something else that gets my heart a twitter. You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach, the excitement, the anxiousness the anticipation......
of a new episode of your favorite TV show. Well in my world there are a lot of "shows". I went through a serious reality TV phase (ok it may be arguable that I am still going through this "phase" but who doesn't love the Jersey Shore, Amazing Race, Biggest Loser, the Real Housewives and all of the other ridiculousness!!!) But this brings me to the reason for my post tonight.
Dancing with the Stars
I have issues. Big issues with tonights episode. 1st off lets discuss Nicole Schersblahblah (I can't remotely figure out how to say or type her last name). She has so obviously had dance training it is ridiculous. I mean who in God's name gets 10's on the 2nd dance of the season. It is ridiculous. (Yes I know that this blog post is slightly ridiculous as well.) But really she has no business being on a show for people that have never danced. She just looks like an ass trying to pull off the "I really can't dance, it is so different that my other choreography". It is insulting and annoying. So DWTS please stop thinking we are stupid, we aren't and we know she can dance so lets just judge her differently and make her really work for it. Her and Evan, don't think I have forgotten about our Olympic gold medalist. I mean really, isn't ice skating dancing on ice, or is that ice dancing? Well either way he shouldn't be on the show either. Make it fun to watch like Pamela does. Let us hide our eyes in embarassment for the likes of Buzz Aldrin. Don't get me wrong I love an American hero as much as the next guy but the whole point of the show, or so I thought, was to watch people learn to dance, not show us how good they already are. We like seeing people step on their partners toes, even God willing fall down. Give us what we want Dancing and bring us the clumsy and uncoordinated, because it is what we want.
Oh thank heavens for Kate Gosselin! She is why I watch to see that kind of dance and then in 9 weeks see her get better. That was the worst dance I have ever seen and I loved every stinkin' second of it! It was so painful to watch that I did have to look away and hope that it was over, but thankfully it just kept going. : )

Bedtime Routine
Tonight I thought I would discuss our bedtime routine, or even better how about a
Scott Family bedtime in pictures.
Every good bedtime routine begins with a great bath!
And really fun bathtimes include visits by our older brothers.
Drying off is crucial to staying warm and getting good jammies on.
Getting jammies on is very exctiting!!! (Zach will kill me if ever sees this : )
Picking a book is can be so fun!
Reading them can be even more fun!!
Kisses goodnight!!
All tucked in and ready for some sweet dreams!
(This picture kills me because we just bought them bunk beds so that they could sleep together without sharing a bed since Matt hasn't slept in his room for months, and what happens? They still sleep in the same bed together!)

Snow Days and Sunshine
It has been a great week of Snow Days and sunshine. Wednesday we had a snow day which gave us a greate chance to lay around in our jammies all day and do a whole lot of nothing! It was pure bliss (minus the 4200 fights that were caused by three boys being cooped up in a house). And today the sun is shining and hopefully all of this leftover snow will melt away.
Spring Break started this weekend and the boys are so excited to be out of school for the week. Now to find enough to keep them from being bored and to remind them that even though they don't have school we still have work and that means that yes there is a bed time (I can already hear the crys).
I am sure there will be plenty more to come this weekend but now we our off to football jersey fittings.
What are your plans for Spring Break?
