You can't remember Christmas.........

Jarred and I were discussing who we thought should have been in the Super Bowl this weekend. I said it would have been cool if it was the Patriots and the Packers since they haven't been there since 1997. Jarred looked at me with this kind of bewildered/slightly turned on look and said,"How do you remember who was in the Super Bowl in 1997? You don't even remember Christmas!" Well, I'm not sure. I can't remember what I got for Christmas, but I can tell you where every Sonic is within a 30 mile Radius of my home. I don't remember preforming at my Grandparents 50th, but I can tell you what I was wearing in every school picture K-12. So I guess I just remember the important stuff. Right?

You were born when?

I hate it when I'm reminded of how old I am. I was talking to a friends teenage daughters on Friday as I was helping them get ready for a dance. This is how the stupid conversation went:

Me: Hey, I love your head band! Where the crap did you get that? I want one.
Girl: Oh, I got it at "Claire's" in the mall. They have different colors too.
Me: Fun, I haven't been to "Claire's" since my junior year in high school when I was picking out jewelry for a dance. Hmmm, I think it was 1995.
Girl: Hey! That's the year I was born.
Me: Nice.


What the crap! When did I get so old?

"Terrible Tuesday"

Yes it's that time again. Time for another installment of "terrible Tuesday." I actually thought that it was going to be a Wonderful Tuesday when I woke up this morning, but sadly that was not the case. IT happened as I was hooking up my New DVD player, which by the way did you all know how cheap they are? When we bought our first one 7 years ago we paid like $400 for it. Now you pay like $30! Anyway, back to my story. So I'm hooking up the DVD player and my adorable Simon is playing "peek-a-boo" with some unseen object and really enjoying himself. Well he got a little carried away and poked him self right in the freaking eye with his finger and it's way too long nail that mommy hasn't trimmed in weeks. My bad, but before I can get over to him to start the consoling process he puts his head down and bumps his eye again except this time it hits the flap of the card board box I have just removed said DVD player from. Yikes! We all know how bad it hurts to bump your eye on something, but to do it twice in a row. Painful! He then cries for the next two hours as I call all the doctors trying to get him in to see one of them. No luck, so I just take him to the "Urgent Care" right by my house and they see him in like 10 minutes. Whew! As turns outs poor baby Simon has got a HUGE scratch on his cornea that he has to take pain killers and weird eye ointment for. It literally takes two people to get this ointment in to his eye. This eye ointment is something I will never understand. With all the medical breakthroughs that we have in our day, why on earth can't they make this eye stuff in liquid form so that it is easier to put into a small child's eye? Thank you E. Fougera & CO. manufacturers of Ophthalmic Ointment USP for adding insult to injury on my already "Terrible Tuesday."

Look at Simon's sad left eye. It still looks painful.

what did i spell wrong?

Many of you having been wondering what's up with my name on my profile and yes it is spelled wrong. Why you ask? Well it's because I freaked out a little bit ago when I googled myself and I actually came up. So I'm trying this for a while. Plus it irritates me when people call me COE like JOE so I replaced the E with an I in hope that others will catch on and see how to really pronounce it. How do you really pronounce it? Alright, the real pronunciation is.......drum roll please.......CO-EE lyn like ZOE+lyn(you know from Sesame Street) but I prefer KOI like the fish and spelled with an E. So call me which ever one you enjoy saying more, just don't call me COE(like JOE). I hate that!

So that's why.

It's no secret that my Oliver is a HUGE Corbin Bleu fan. He absolutely loves his new video for the new Disney Channel movie "Minute Men" and can't wait until the premier. But he said the cutest thing yesterday. He saw Corbin flashing a peace sign and said,"Mom, you know why Corbin does that? He does it because he's in "High School Musical 2" and that's why he shows us his two fingers."

I guess this was for "High School Musical 1" that's why he's only showing 1 finger.


I'm just glad the "peace" sign is the only thing Oliver is flashing.

The winds have changed

So it sounds like all our friends have done better than the Truschkes with the whole movie thing I just posted about. Jarred was a little upset all Monday at work feeling like he just threw away his identity and then LUCK showed it's stinking face after several months of being MIA. I won't go in to details, but Jarred and I are now firm believer in what our Dear friends made us do on Sunday. God remembered us!
