Surgery, Webkinz and other ramblings

For those that are wondering, I had my surgery yesterday - I haven't really found out anything except that the problems they thought I was having aren't the ones I'm really having and that means starting all over from point A. Clear as mud? Yep, for me too!

WEBKINZ

Have you heard of these "wonderful" little animals?? No? Neither had I until my dear friend, Sonya, introduced my 2 little men to them. For those uninformed, they are these wonderful little stuffy friends that have a special website where you can go, register your animal and play games, make a home, feed and various other things, your animal. The more animals you have, the more "stuff" you can access. Get the trend here? Just 1 webkinz is not enough, you HAVE to have several so that your Webkinz can have "friends". More $$ from mom and dad. UGH. I do have to admit, though, that they are the cutest little animals and they are Ganz - so nice quality. The website is sort of cute, too, I guess, if you pressure me into admitting it. So, Liam currently has a Bulldog named "Guido"

and Conor has a Clydsdale named "Boogee" (don't ask - actually, ask Nicholas because he named his frog that first and Conor stole it. LOL)


Now, take note Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and friends alike - according to Liam and Conor, "You can never have too many Webkinz" and it now tops their lists for any gift giving reasons. Yes, they even plan to ask Santa and Liam actually asked me if I thought he might get one on Halloween or for Conor's birthday. LOL Can you say addict? I sure can. Check out the Webkinz site if you are still confused.

Oh, and I have to say, "Thanks a lot" to Sonya one more time, because now Nicho has not 1, not 2 or even 3, nope - he's got 4 of these darned things...you know what I heard all evening after they spent the days with Nicho? Yep, I'm sure I don't have to tell you. :(

In case you haven't heard my big news, I have a job now. Yep, I am gainfully employed. I have accepted a position with the local artSpace program and will be teaching 5 different classes for kids 1 - 5 (different classes for different ages). The big bonus for this job is that I make my own hours and I can take Conor and Liam with me when I have to. Right now I am a bit overwhelmed and trying to figure out why I took this job. LOL I know I am going to have a lot of fun, and it's right up my alley, I think it's just overwhelming with everything else going on right now. *sigh* I'll be teaching a Mommy & Me class for parents and their 1 year olds, a Crafty Kids class for 2.5 - 4 year olds, A "Jump up & Move" class for 3-5 year olds, a "boys only" Pirate class for 4&5 year olds and a "Girls Only" Princess Power class for 4&5 year olds. Fun!

*BIG GIGANTIC SIGH* Liam starts preschool on Wednesday. I am not ready. He is. 'nuff said.

I hope you are all doing well - drop me a note and let me know! Love and (((HUGS))) until next time!
