Full Disclsoure

Yesterday when I went to pick up Bean from his summer care, I was wearing heels, so I was a bit taller than my usual 6'. 2 children complemented me on my skirt and I knew it was coming....."your Mom is tall!","she's taller than my mom!", "she's taller than my Dad!", then my precious jewel of a son....."and she's 30!"

Thank you, thank you very much.

Today I have a my hot lunch date and we may go to the beach tomorrow. I got a new camera, and have been practicing, I will have to post some of them.

Until Next time,

Good News!

The Blazer sold! We are considering going to TX for Thanksgiving and a cruise in March.....san kids!

I also didn't take the kids to VBS this week, so the garage? Still the same scary hole...maybe one day; we've only been here for 3 years..geesh.

Today is grocery shopping and chillaxin.

Until Next time,

Been Awhile....

Last night was my friends birthday dinner at a sushi place...I had the chicken as I am not a big fan of sushi. I can handle the California Roll and that's about it! They came and played very loud drums and put on a "Sumo" hat on my friend and took a pic of all of there. For her birthday, my friend and I went in together a got her a Life is Good bag filled w/ goodies for a bath and a coupon to watch her baby so she can enjoy the bath. We even threw in a couple of bones for her dog! The best part of the night was when the Chef brought out deep fried oreos and they were to die for.....very, very good!

Last Weekend; Saturday was the big party with N and his crew. It went well, there were 2 tornadoes near us, but we played Wiffle Ball (and by we, I mean they), Apples to Apples and the Wii and then on Sunday, we had our neighbors over and even surprised the birthday girl w/a Cold Stone Cake!

This week at the new girl has started ...so far so good, I'm getting a half day on Friday and N and I are meeting for lunch since he is working nights this week and we see each other barely.

This weekend, my friends and I are going to see The Ugly Truth and I have some cleaning to do...blah.

Sorry so short! I'm pooped!

Until Next time,

It's a snake! or not

My flower pot has once again been a home for another creature....

This was my first view and I took it upon myself to announce to the family that we had a snake.

Then the animal specialist, errr, sound mind, N came to the resuce and found legs on such creature!

Honestly though, not a fan of these snake looking creatures...even Cat said that lizard was not a very pretty color.

On tap for the rest of the week; getting ready for a work party for N, although he tells me I don't have to lift a finger, I am a little crazy like helpful, so I am getting stuff for that and then next week is another VBS for the kids and a friends bday. We are going out to dinner Tuesday, then Friday to see The Ugly Truth and dinner while the men watch the kids...my goal is while the kids are at VBS next week to s.l.o.w.l.y clean the garage....anyone need a entertainment center? grill? blazer? I'm your gal!

I would like to wish my Mom a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY~ Love you! (What? You're turning 40!)

Until Next Time,

Out of the mouths of babes....

If I don't write this stuff down, I will forget!

Conversation w/ Cat this morning

Cat-"Mom, you know how if you point your middle finger it's bad?"
Me-"Yes, why?"
Cat-"Is it bad to point my middle toe too?"

This morning it was foggy and Cat said, " Look it's froggy!"

I can't make this stuff up!

I am currently researching SLR cameras, I would like to get one soon, I'm becoming more interested in photos since entering blog land.

I bought the Wii Fit and yesterday it told me to lay off the afternoon snacks?! How does it know?

Until Next time,

In Memory

This past weekend we found out that 2 pilots from our base were killed in a crash in Afghanistan. The first casualities from our base since Operation Desert Storm. My friend is over there and they were from his squadron. Made me stop and think about the 3,000 or so others that have lost their lives in this war and made me hug N a little tighter.

So this weekend was pretty much following the online paper and waiting for any additional information.

Until Next time,

Nature Walk

Went outside tonite to put something in the mail for tomorrow and look what was waiting for me!



There were 2 of them and they were awesome! Then on the way back in, I spotted this creature:





On tap for this weekend is sleeping in (yea!), birthday party for a neighbors daughter, church, maybe Kohls? and relaxing. I have to get back into Math practice before next month and we booked our Myrtle Beach weekend...

Until Next time,

Perfume or Parfum??

What's that you see? Air Freshner for the bathroom?? Not according to Cat, she apparently, uses it as her perfume! She sprays it not just once or twice, about five to six times to boot!

Oh well...guess its cheap and Country Garden smell for her!

Until Next Time,

Wow

Been a whole week since I last wrote! This past weekend, our friend came down from Baltimore, so we hung out all weekend. Saturday, we did the pool thing and played Rock Band that night, Sunday we took lunch to N at work, then played Wii, Apples to Apples and ordered pizza.

Had 2 snow cones as well over the weekend and they were delish....one w/ cream and the other with marshmellow. I like the ice at the place with cream, but wish they had marshmellow.

Bean told me last night that the reason he talks when I tell him to go to bed is because he can't breathe if he isn't talking....hmmm. His teacher told me yesterday that he is so well behaved with great manners and just a great kid during the day! For which I am glad, but maybe he runs out of all of that when I get him?!

Not much this week, working and cleaning.

2 weeks is another VBS at the church we have been attending for a little while, this one goes until 9pm, so we shall see how long the kids hold out.

In August we are planning to go the Myrtle Beach and I start my classes and take my placement test for Math...bleh!

Great weather today!

Until Next time,

Weekend

I was trying to wait to get some more pictures, before I did this post, but I'll roll with what I have.

Thursday night we headed up to Maryland and I was surprised at the traffic that wasn't there on our way up. Friday morning we headed to Annapolis and the Naval Academy.

Friday afternoon after a quick trip to Dave and Busters (I mean really quick....like take a potty break and go!), we picked up our friend from the airport and headed to the Inner Harbor.

Went picked up our luggage at my inlaws and said goodbye and it was off to our friends house for the night before we headed to the beach in the morning. We hung out that night, played games, ate and caught up.

In the morning, we left and we on our way with about 1,032,084,589 other people...traffic was horrible, it took about 5 hours to get to the beach.

We finally got there, had lunch on the beach, played football, paddle ball, jumped waves in freezing water and had a good time. We went back showered and walked the boardwalk and found dinner and were able to watch fireworks from our seat. We then changed, went to one club before it closed in 30 mins and called it a night.

Sunday, we woke up stood in line for Dunkin Donuts, then checked out of our hotel and went jet skiing. All the couples shared a jet ski....N was tame...somewhat, but I held on! We had a waterproof camera that hopefully we got some good shots on.

We then ate lunch at the same place

Then after lunch we headed home, again traffic was terrible, took about 5 hours, then we picked up the kids, and got back on the road to get back to NC. I only got turned around twice and we made it back by 130am.

And no worries about the kids; the in laws had them busy, busy.

It was a good weekend and can't believe it's been almost a week!

This week has been catch up on house, may take the kids to see Up! this weekend. Trying to get going on the garage as well.

Classes start back end of August and I'm still trying to get smart in Math!

Until Next time,

OC Baby!

Tomorrow after I get off of work, we are heading to Ocean City, MD...well first, get to N's parents house to transfer Cat and Bean for the weekend, then we are meeting up with friends down at the beach...can't wait!

Be back on Monday,

HAPPY FOURTH! Let's not forget the reason we celebrate!

Until next time,
