Can I get an animal?

That is what Jaidyn keeps asking me the last few days. I ask her what animal she wants to get and she keeps telling me a kitty cat. I told her she had to ask Eric...of course he said no. Eric was like your mom says no too, but she wants to make me look bad. I was like I would let her get a cat. Even though i can't stand cats, if she really wants one, then I would get her one. Eric is definately not going to let her get one. I was cracking up though because she kept asking him so nicely. She was like please daddy and she just kept saying it over and over again. It makes me feel bad because I know she really wants one. I just had to tell her that Sammy(our dog) wouldn't get along with a cat very well. So another funny story. Eric's parents bought Jaidyn a harmonica for Christmas because she loves to play stuff like that. So lately Colin has been playing it. It is so funny because he loves playing it. On Sunday I woke up and decided I wanted to start tanning again. I used to tan, but I became addicted to it and would do it almost everyday. I looked way too dark and I know it wasn't good for me to tan that much. So I stopped. Well I decided I wanted to start tanning again, but this time I am only going to go a couple of days a week to keep up the tan. I went on Sunday and got a little pink since I haven't been in so long. I came home and got on the elliptical for a while. Then I decided I wanted to see if Jamie wanted to go see Friday The 13th with me. I know it looks stupid, but I like to watch those movies, even though they scare the crap out of me. So her and I decided we would go. The earliest time we could find was 4:20. So I just showered and hung out around the house until we went to the movie. Of course the house was clean when I left and when I came home, there were toys everywhere. Plus Eric had let the kids take all the pillows off the couch and put them on the floor so that they could jump into them. So once again, I had a huge mess to clean up. Yesterday the kids and I went to visit my mom at Sam's house. Sam was going to stay home from work to take care of my mom, but my mom can do pretty much everything on her own. She can't look up and she can't see out of one eye, but she can still do all the things she needs to do. So the kids and I ate lunch and then headed to Sam's house. We picked up some taco bell for my mom for lunch on the way. We hung out there for a couple of hours. The kids were getting really tired, so we left to come home. Both of them fell asleep in the truck and stayed asleep even after I moved them inside. So I was able to catch up on a couple of my shows while the kids napped. Jaidyn hasn't been taking naps for the last couple of weeks, so I was surprised yesterday that she slept for almost 3 hours. Last night I made some chicken alfredo for dinner. Andrea gave me the recipe. It was so good, even Eric liked it. He is very picky, so it is hard to find stuff that he will eat. I am picky too, but not as bad as him. I am not sure what we will do today. It seems like it is going to be a nice day, so maybe we will go for a walk later.
