If I had a billion dollars, I'd give a million to each of my friends and family. I'd have an indoor gym and pool built at my college. I'd pay for teachers aides at my daughter's school. I'd buy every book Nora Roberts ever wrote, and I'd fly to her next book signing so I could tell her thank you for saving my sanity by giving me an escape from reality for a few hours at a time.

Books I have read are italicized.
Went with Preggo to her ultrasound today. Its a boy. He has the requisite number of body parts, which is, considering, a big relief. (I didn't realize just how worried I was about it until we found out everything was fine.) She's still a stupid teenager, but... I have hopes for her. I halfway expect to wind up taking care of the baby once she realizes that its not all fun and games, but... so be it. I'll deal. (I gotta stop going to the baby section at walmart though, I've already bought 25 or 30 pieces of clothing for a kid who isn't even halfway here yet. Must... pace... self... but its sooo hard when they have those wonderful clearance sales.) There's a box in my closet that says "J baby stuff". It's already full.
Well, hubby will be home in 20 minutes or so, and I haven't even got the laundry folded that was on the couch when he left. I have to go back to school tomorrow after being off for a week (flu). Bleah.
Tomorrow I have stuff to do all day. I won't get to play Animal Crossing. 
Boo.
Before I go: M was playing with something he wasn't supposed to be touching. I told him if he didn't quit his dad would spank him (it's his dad's stuff, so I'm not being a meanie) and M said "If he spanks me my butt will get little! If he spanks me I'll turn into a mouse. I don't want to be a mouse." Kids are wierd.
My sister called me yesterday. My older sister. The one I hadn't talked to in years until last November. We live in the same apartment complex... I called her on her birthday in November and we talked for a little bit- well, she called me yesterday and we talked for an hour. It was interesting.
The kids are heathens. I woke up, walked out into the hall, and A was in the hallway floor at the top of the stairs playing gameboy. About this time the overwhelming essence of Windex hits me. A casually remarks "M is playing with the Windex." She didn't bother to wake us up and tell us, she just moved herself and her gameboy out of his reach. Heathens, I tell you.
Speaking of heathens, my 17yo sister is an idiot. I just realized I haven't posted any of the stuff she's done in the last two months. Oy. It begins in December, when she confesses that she is pregnant. Immediately after, she confesses that she got drunk the week before cause she didn't know. THis coupled with the fact that she was on birth control pills and antidepressants... and she had an xray because she wrecked her car and broke her hand. So here we have a pregnant, stupid 17yo. She decided on Tuesday to make a road trip to Florida to take a girl she barely knows to see her Mom. (Keep in mind we live several states away from Florida.) She took along her boyfriend and another friend of theirs. I think, from what little info I've gotten so far, that the girl was a runaway. To make a long story short, the car broke down in Georgia, the cops stopped, both guys (being over 18) are in jail in Georgia for aiding a runaway, and J and the other girl spent a day in the Dalton Juvenile Correction Facility.
Oh, yeah, while I'm posting stupid sibling stories- my 17yo brother informed us recently that he has a 5mo son and he's going to have a daughter in a few months... by someone else... and neither of these girls are the girl he's with now. (I thought I didn a better job of explaining the facts of life to him.. damn it.) He says he's going to be getting full custody of the boy when he gets out of juvie (yep, he's in juvie here) but they are going to put the girl up for adoption because her mom doesnt want her and he can't take on responsibility for two babies. Do you have any idea how badly I want to offer to adopt the baby girl? I don't want him to give her up. I know he will regret this forever. I can barely afford the two I have now- there is no way I can do it- but oh, I want to.
Okay, now I'm depressed. I think I'll go eat girl scout cookies.
Well, for now, anyway. I got a new toy yesterday. My very ownest laptop. Its teeny, and silver, and cute, and I named it Lucinda. Other than that, nothing of any real importance has happened, and since I'm still not a very fast typist on Lucinda (on account of her keys being slightly different than the Dude) that's all I have to say... because it's 67 degrees outside right now, and I want to go enjoy it before tomorrow, when its supposed to be back in the high 40s. Yeck. Bye now.
God Grant me the Serenity
To forget the people that
I never liked anyway
The good Fortune
To run into the ones I Do
And the Eyesight
To tell the Difference!
