Yes, actually I DO have a hot date tonight!! With my wonderful and loving husband! The first date since August, I do believe lol!! We're going to a movie - my first in about 4 yrs from the best I can recall lol - and dinner at Hoffbrau.
I am looking forward to getting some alone time with Dewayne and getting to go on a real date without our little munchkins tagging along, however, they normally dominate our conversation anyway lol!! and that's okay by me :)
Not much else to say today... I'm really putting forth an effort to stay on top of my blog this year, so we'll see how long that lasts!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE...
I can't believe I haven't posted since Oct!!!
Christmas was great (and Thanksgiving too lol) - I think all of the kids were pleased with their gifts, and by now have already pushed them aside to collect dust from here to eternity... This was the first year that my plant has closed down over the holidays - extending from Christmas Eve to the Monday after New Year's - which was Jan 4th - I LOVED all the time off - albeit some was unpaid, it was SO worth it and I HOPE that they decide to do it again next year. It was so relaxing to just take it easy, not be rushing from here to there like what normally happens on vacation!! I just stayed home with the kids and had an absolute wonderful time with them. They really didn't fight much - Dewayne told me it would be my trial run to staying home with them full time. The one draw back for me was just not having anything to do - Sure, I did housework (not as much as I had planned) but mostly, the days were uneventful - almost boring to a degree - I'm sure it would be much different following an education plan and helping the kids with school work, etc. I don't know... still debating. At the moment, I'm very pleased with their school, so there's no rush to get them out.
Looking forward to the big 3-0 next week I guess... I thought it would kill me but instead I guess I'm thankful that I've lived long enough to see it!! (shouldn't count my eggs before they're hatched though, I still have a week to go!)
