TGIF

TGIF....This week has flown by for me. I felt like I still have tons to do and it's already weekend. I guess that is a good thing. Kind of weird how I had dinner last night w/my friend. We ate at this Chinese/Thai restaurant and my fortune read...Don't go through life too fast. Stop and enjoy it. Meaning I need to enjoy what I have around me. Life is short and I haven't been enjoying time w/my kids this week. I told them instead of playing volleyball, I would take them to the park and even take my daughter. She's 4 months today so I'm sure she wants to go out too and not stay at home w/my mom all the time even if it's a little hot. I just don't want her to end up being too picky and not go to anyone. That's what happened to my second son and it was so hard for me. He didn't even care to go to his dad and that was bad.

So, there's going to be a volleyball and flat football tournament tomorrow hosted by the CMA church. Hubby is going to be playing volleyball and I have the SLR class tomorrow so I'll probably stop by the tournament later that day. Don't want to go too early esp since it's going to be way hot! Good thing my brother lives near the church so I can always go to his house if I choose to. I just hope there won't be any ants. I hate ants!

Oh yeah...I finally bought my ticket to go to MN for July 4th. Actually my brother bought it for me. His job transferred him up there since they closed his facility down here so they gave him 10 free airline tickets to go back and forth to GA or have family members visit him from GA to MN so lucky for my kids, mom, brother and his family...we all are going up there for free. Actually my dad didn't want to go so I got his ticket because I wasn't planning on going because I didn't want to have to spend my own money on the plane ticket. Hubby isn't going because he couldn't get that Monday off after J4. Oh well..his loss. hehehe...I will miss him esp because I will have to travel alone w/my baby girl but hopefully she won't be too bad. I was thinking of leaving her so hubby can take care of her but I know my brother and my sister in law wants to see her. It's going to be a family reunion up there for sure because my other sister and her family are going as well as my sister from CA too. They want to attend the annual J4 tournament in MN but I could care less. If I go, I'll probably just go for a few hours. So if you're Hmong...who's all going? Maybe I'll see you up there. :)

Late Birthday Dinner

Going to a late, late birthday dinner. We all are so busy with our lives but one of my close friends is taking me out for my birthday even though my birthday was May 13th but hey! It's better now than never. :) I actually have two birthday...my real birthday on May 13th or my legal birthday (April 13th). I celebrate my real birthday w/friends and family; however, I celebrate my fake birthday at work or if I even celebrate it now. I work in a data center that consists of me, my boss, and a network engineer. Our home office is in Greensboro so that is why there is only 3 of us here. I sometimes miss seeing other people but I also like my own space. Overall, I'm content.

Since I've been in meetings all week, I've been playing volleyball when I get home. I'm trying to get back in the groove of playing again. I probably won't be playing in tournaments but I really want to get back in shape and at the same time, I realize, I miss playing. Trust me, I'm not even half as good as I used to be due to being overweight and just not playing much. My goal is to lose 30 lbs by December...wish me luck!

Meetings

Sorry folks but I've been in meetings this whole week so I couldn't update. I could have been but didn't want to be typing too much because I didn't want all the attention to be on me. lol... Glad it's over with so I can get back to actually working. :) But I did enjoy the mingling part and of course the free food. Who doesn't love the free part? hehehe. One of my co-workers couldn't make it but oh well...maybe next time, I'll get to see him. :P Anyways, hubby and I did go to play poker at my sil's place this weekend. I couldn't even play because we took my baby too since I didn't want to let my mom babysit because she already babysits for me throughout the week so I felt bad but I don't think I will be going anymore since I have no babysitter. I don't want to lug my baby around esp since all my baby does is sleep and their house is too loud since they have other kids so she won't get any sleep. Can't believe she will be 4 months tomorrow...and I will be giving her baby food. She's drooling already. lol.

One of my childhood friends will be visiting this weekend. Maybe on Sunday I will visit her...can't believe she has 5 kids. I couldn't do it. My 3 kids are already hard esp now. Between activities w/the kids and work, I can't even find time for myself.

Oh yeah..funny thing was, I was reading this one girl's bulletin on Myspace and came across Bumpits. OMG...I'm so late. Where have I been? I'm telling you I'm so lost. hahaha but hey, better now than never right? hahaha...anyways, I thought it was pretty cool. Have anyone used it? My hair is so flat and def. needs volume...thinking about getting it. I'll def post up pics if I ever do get it.

Poker

Christien and Connor...just learned how to merge my two boys pics together in photoshop. I know I'm so lame. lol....


Phanny w/Connor



Jenn w/Connor...yes, he was the baby then

Tomorrow night my ex-sis in law is hosting a poker party. I haven't played in so long. I remember when everyone (family wise) from my husband's side has gotten along and we used to play for fun all the time. Since then, I lost two sil's and gained 2 new ones. I really miss one of them alot. We were pretty close but since then, I still talk to her but we're not as close due to us just not seeing each other every weekend and so but we're still great friends when we do see each other. I learned how to keep my distances w/my in laws. I just find it nicer that way...less drama. I am a very talkative person and like to express my views. I can't help it at times when I see something and just do the usual "casual" conversation and think nothing of it but to "certain people", he/she take it out of proportions...like they analyze everything you say and use it against you. Don't get me wrong, I love my inlaws but I find it better, when you see each other less, the love is stronger. lol... But I do miss those poker days, when we all played but I enjoyed playing at the bars better due to more competition. Of course, can't nowadays, since I have my little princess and have to tend to her unless my mommy watches...yes, I'm a spoiled one. I'm the youngest of 7...Can you believe that? Who has that many nowadays? Actually, I do know of some but I rather not name them. lol... It's not me...that's all that matters. hahaha. Anyways, yes, my parents live w/me. It's great that I have a live in babysitter and that even though, I'm a girl, my parents are still willing to live w/me. You see in the Hmong culture, parents prefer to live w/their sons but with mine, they do mind but they love me so much that they are willing to overlook that and are willing to help me out since daycare expenses are so High. I can't believe how people can spend $800 - $1000 for daycare. Thank goodness, I have my parents. They do everything for me...cook, clean, and take care of my kids and I'm so ungrateful at times. Shame on me but I can't help it! Yes, I can but I'm trying really hard to not let her do so much. Anways, I'm going to post pics of my ex sils...they are so sweet!

Work

Ever since I came back on maternity leave, I've been so out of it. I just can't seem to concentrate and get things done. I've been lagging on doing projects but I so need to get with the program. Help me.... Hopefully I will get back into it because I know I will be busy soon and get behind if I don't now. I also am planning on taking some classes so I can get up to par. Programming was never my favorite subject in school. I always did what I could to just "pass" and always took the "INTRO" classes and took the easy way out. Too much playtime and not enough studying. hehehe...but w/kids, I need more $$$$ therefore, I will make myself get with the program and do something. Anyways, was going to make a longer entry buy gotta go pick something up downstairs so I'll blog longer next time.

OMG..can't believe how out of shape I am and now I know. I haven't played ball for so long and yesterday, I went to play ball with some friends and boy...am I feeling it now. I played a couple of games a while back but compared to a whole series of games, my body is aching now. My body tells me that I need to get back in shape. After having this third baby of mine, I could tell my body is slowing going downhill. I have to get back in the routine of exercising again. I know I can get my size 6 body back. lol. It may take a while but I know I can do it...gotta keep motivating myself. If anyone have any tips, please feel free to let me know. Any help will be appreciated. lol. :)
