One time, in band camp.......oh sorry, I never actually went to band camp. Actually, I was never in band. But ever since we registered Brittany for band camp, I can't get that saying out of my head. ROFL She will be going to the International Music Camp located at the International Peace Gardens. She is so very excited and I am excited for her although a bit nervous to have my "baby" so far away. Even if it is only for a week!

Not much else going on around here, yes we got our taxes filed on time (barely) and yesterday it snowed! I am still not ready for Easter. Although I did go shopping on my lunch break today for a few things. When we moved I threw out all of the old Easter baskets, plastic eggs and other junk I didn't feel like packing. Today I wish that I would have kept them because that just means I had more stuff to buy. I did find some cute stuff though, although of course John goes, "You spent HOW much on Easter baskets?"

If it were up to him we'd go out and buy the pre-packaged baskets from Walgreen's that cost $12.00 each. Even that would be too much. It's not that he's cheap, it's just that I think he forgets that we live in the year 2003 not 1973. But of course, none of that matters because I went overboard as usual and buying a pre-packaged basket is never as much fun as making your own. My mom says it's because I was "deprived" as a child. Due to her religious beliefs at the time we didn't celebrate holidays, so she thinks that I am making up for all of the holidays I never had. Maybe she's right, but mostly, I think it is just fun to shop for cute little toys and Easter basket stuffers.

When the kids are in bed, I will have to smuggle all of my bags in and put the baskets together. I bought a whole bunch of these which were on sale, I think I might have to steal one. :-) These are my absolute favorite, much better than Cadbury Eggs which make my teeth hurt just thinking about them. So how about you? What is your favorite Easter candy?

John is on his way to go to the post office to get our taxes filed before the deadline. I was planning to go with him but as we were signing on all of the "X"s and filling out last minute info, we started snapping at each other. I think the stress of getting this all done at the last minute finally got to us so I figured it was best to stay home so that it didn't turn into a full scale argument. I mean, I was already at the point where I was yelling at him for chewing too loud! He doesn't just chew he chomps on his food so that it echoes.....I'm serious! Okay, I'm probably exaggerating a bit.......but not much. So, he is there, and hopefully the lines aren't too long and I am home doing laundry. I did find a cute survey at Kay's which I am going to do to get my mind off all of the other crap I should be doing. :-)

Do you know what today is? Of course, well guess what I don't have done. This is the first year that I haven't had my taxes filed in February or March. I don't know what is wrong with me, I don't make enough to owe them money, but I have been procrastinating all month. John is going to get all of our stuff over to Jenny today and hopefully they will get filed in time. It's not like I'm going to get anything back anyway, I'm sure that any refund coming in will go towards John's past due child support. Which isn't a big deal because at least the amount owed will go down. But I guess that's why I haven't filed, when you know you won't get anything back, what's the big rush? LOL of course now that today is the deadline there is a big rush!

I can't get rid of this cold and I basically feel like shit. I think I have a sinus infection but I haven't been to a doctor so I don't know for sure. It was a long weekend. On Saturday Danielle and I had an all day field trip for girl scouts which would have normally been fun but seeing as how my head felt like it was going to explode all day it was a very long day. The girls had fun though, we went to a workshop on Zink the Zebra. If you have a daughter in girl scouts and you have the opportunity to ever do this be sure to not miss it.

Other than that it was really a blah weekend. According to my mom, my sister is mad at me because she (my sister) said, that I said, that I didn't like her new boyfriend Mike. Which is not at all what I remember saying. I'm pretty sure that I just asked if he had fun when we all went to the circus cause he was so quiet that I couldn't tell if he was bored or what. She said he had fun and was maybe just nervous. So I told her to tell him to relax. And I think I made a joke that if he didn't loosen up soon we wouldn't get the chance to get to like him. I mean how could I like him or not like him based on meeting him about three or four times?! Sheesh.

Whatever I said, I did mean it as a joke which I could have explained if she would have called me instead of calling my mom and then telling my mom not to tell me that she was mad. Well, of course my mom tells me right away with instructions to not tell my sister that she told me anything. No wonder I have a headache! I thought about calling my sister to straighten things about, but in the frame of mind I have been in I'm sure I'd just make it worse. I am worn down with being sick and I am on my period and basically I have just been feeling like a bitch. I know that if I tried to talk to my sister I would either get mad or cry and make things 10 times worse. So it is probably just best to let it blow over. Why does there always have to be some kind of drama? I mean, if my mom knew that I couldn't talk to my sister about it, why did she tell me in the first place?! Just to make me feel like shit I guess. I haven't talked to my mom since that conversation either.

I guess I just need some space. What I really want is to get better and maybe when my head doesn't feel like it is about to split open I can deal with this other shit. Or maybe I will just let it blow over and forget about it. I mean in the large scheme of things, how important is it really?
