Day 3

April 11, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I think this is Day 3 anyway…depends how you count it. Anyway, we are doing well so far. I made dinner last night and we headed back to the gym. A fabulous distraction for all 3 of us. Heather was at the house when we got back and stayed through American Idol and House. M showed up halfway through AI and then she stayed also through The Good Shepherd until 1am. More on the shows/movie later. The kids were quite rambunctious after more Easter candy and finally were out around 9. The kids are handling being home without school quite well this week. They are both sleeping in until almost 9 and are happy to play around the house. I even offered for them to go outside to play yesterday when it was warm enough to go out and they didn’t want to go. So I guess that’s good they’re not whiny about going places. Which they can do that sometimes. And today, they actually do go somewhere. And I’m helping with the youth spaghetti dinner tonight so my afternoon and evening are mapped out as well.

Update: I talked to S and she said she heard from S this morning so they are all good.

No word

OK, so no word from them since they landed. And since then, they have flown from Istanbul to Van. Or, I think they have. Or they are right now. lol. I can’t tell from these time zones. If the flights for today were in Turkey time, they are already there…and it’d be nice to hear from them.

Arrival

Just got an email from Scott saying they have been in Turkey for a few hours, it is nice and there’s good food (all-important). Yay!

Bachelor

Andy is like a 12 year old in a 30ish year old’s body. When he sees the girls he literally looks like a 12 year old that just walked into a candy store. He is SO smart and SO athletic and SO mature but then he sees girls and he morphs into this boy. It’s so cute. So I’m really surprised Erin stayed and Alexis left. Wow, what is he thinking? Stephanie from SC is really on my nerves. Way too much confidence and way too much chest. lol. Bevin needs more confidence and less bad attitude. I really like Tessa and I think he really likes Amber, Danielle, Stephanie (KS) and Kate. I think Stephanie from SC is the girl that he’s staying because she’s the “fun girl”. There’s always at least one every season. You can’t see them getting married, but they’d have fun dating. And he seems to have fun dancing with Nichole, but I see more of a dating/friendship thing going on. And gosh, poor Tiffany, was that an awkward alone time or what. I wanted to close my eyes. I’m not sure about this Peyton girl. They both seem to care about people a lot and I think he respects that in her but not sure if there’s romance there. And this Tina medical girl. I so don’t see a romantic thing with them. More colleague, friendship thing. Not sure why he’s keeping her around. So we’ll see what happens. I noticed in the preview that either Peyton or Tessa goes. My bet is that he keeps Tessa. After the foot massage thing, I see more romance with them than almost any of them. What is interesting is he’s admitted he walks out of this with an engagement so one of these girls is “IT”. Can’t wait to see who. Right now…my favorites are Amber, Stephanie (KS) and Kate (and Tessa in a close 4th).

Dancing with the Stars

Joey did SO good last night. Wow. I had expected him to do well in this competition and finally a “10” performance last night. My other favorites are Ian and Apollo. Besides that, I think I’m out. Hopefully they will make it to the top 3 and it will be good to watch.

Day One Done

No news yet whether they’ve arrived anywhere but no news is good news I suppose. They supposedly have landed in Germany and are now on a flight to Istanbul. Hopefully by the afternoon we will have heard something.

The girls and I are doing well so far. The girls ate their dinner and then I took them to the gym. The girl had to come get me because Lexi needed a diaper. She said, I heard Scott is in Turkey. I was like how did you hear that? She said Emma! I thought that was cute. So we came home and immediately got baths. Then Lexi fell asleep in the recliner so she was out by 8:30. Emma was out by 9:15. It was a very relaxing evening actually. I spent the rest of the evening watching tv (more on that in a minute) and reading.

So far it feels like Scott was on night shift and is sleeping now. If I keep thinking like that I think I can get through. I usually have them all day on Tuesdays. And tomorrow is Wednesday and even though they don’t have school, they will be going to his mom’s as normal. Thursday may be a long day also especially since I have a meeting in the morning but hopefully we’ll get out to eat like normal with my parents. Friday my mom usually gets the girls and of course Friday night and Saturday they stay at ILs again. And then we’re back to our busy Sunday and school is on Monday. So I think we can do this without going insane. I love my kids but sometimes you just need a break from being referree, servant, driver, cook and anything else you can think of.

And they’re off…

And by they I actually mean two sets of people. My out of town family left yesterday morning after a good visit. And then the 6 people including Scott left for Turkey today. They should be landing in Germany by 5am, fly to Istabul by lunch tomorrow and then flying to Van the next morning. They aren’t expected to be back until next Tuesday. Another busy week seems to be looming ahead.

Bachelor started!

I’ve been looking forward to Mr. Andy on the new Bachelor for months. Boy, hmm. Ok, that’s all on that.

The funniest line of the whole night? “I heard you, I got ears like a hawk.” Um, yeah. This is the same woman that stomped out of the house from the rose ceremony the minute she realized she was goin’ home.
