Weeekly Confessions

1. Went over to a friends house friday night with chris- ended up in their bar area playing pool (which I am awful at) and doing flavored sambuca shots (banana, licorice, and vanilla)- ended up buzzed (btw I play better pool when buzzed) for which I came home and made no sense in a ridiculous conversation with the babysitter (chris just shook his head and finally said, "I think Jane just wants to go home.")

2. We headed to the Natural History Museum where CJ was enthralled with every dinosaur exhibit- poor kid wanted mom to read ALL the details and when I tried to abridge the lengthy notes he would call me out. "Mom- I think there is alot more words about this dinosaur than you said."

3.Actually emailed 2 friends (very good friends) on why I didn't get a Christmas card- I am a bit sensitive that our move across the pond has deleted us from some lists (I am sort of addictive to cards of friends, kids, dogs, cats, etc)-of course I find out that one friend had technical difficulties with their cards and ended up with no cards this year - and the other friend who was busy hanging with Hollywood celebs did not have my address- for which I said your kids are cute but just send me the photos of you and the stars.(BTW I completely know this is breaking every etiquette rule in the book- but if you didn't send me a Christmas card you owe me a photo bday card!!)

4.After complaining about the weather here- it was an awesome weekend (45 degrees) and I had friends in Chicago reminding me of subzero temps and 2 days of entertaining kids without school. (please note the weather here is NO way near as cold as Chicago, Detroit, new york, Boston but it still awful compared to TX)

5.I am sort of in to texting everyone (blame the iphone)- weird I use to rip on my friends that texted and now I am one of them.

6.Related to weather- Chris always prays for a rainy weekend so pizza sales go up- which sort of annoys me since the rain is usual top on my complaint list.

7. Casey Jane was being a pistol on friday so we were getting ready to go to ballet class and she was being awful in the car so I did a u turn and we skipped ballet (she cried in her leotard for a good 45 min) but mommy had her last nerve broken.

8. Got invited to a concert (Keane) for which I know none of the music- so I am such a dork downloading songs so I don't look like a complete jacka%# at the concert.
