It's Friday!

Oh Yeah! We have such a big weekend lined up. We went to eat at Taco Bell tonight. A realized last night that she loves tacos. The kid has never had a hard shell taco. B has had a soft shelled one before but A has always ate the nachos like me and never eaten anything else there. After that, we went tosee the Jonas Brothers 3-D. They were great. Even if it was just a movie. I don't know what's wrong with me but I cried. I am someone who never cries. One minute I would be laughing at B and the next I would be crying at how good the JoBros were. Something is definitely not right with me. Then we went to Wally World for the weekend trek of grocery shopping. The girls want sandwiches for lunch tomorrow, steak for supper and they are having roast for Sunday lunch. It was after 11 when we got home. A was asleep in the back of the van. In fact, her head fell over on the way home. We knew she was out for the night. We dropped B off at my mom's, its her night there and we hope to sleep late tomorrow morning. We are starting our income taxes in the morning. Yuck. Who ever likes doing them? But, I would like to get them out of the way. And, we are cleaning house.......................and that is all.

I have lots of pics tonight. You know how you feel when its Friday? Well, here it is Friday and when you find out your boss isn't coming in to work either.

Here's the girls with the Jonas Brothers when they got off the plane in New York. Yeah, right! They only wish!

And then, here's the gang in the theater. I have to say that I thought there'd be as many there for the JoBros as there was for Hannah Montana but Hannah beat them hands down.

Have a great weekend guys!

Breaking News!!

::: BREAKING NEWS :::
In 2009 the government
will start deporting
all the mentally ill people.

I started crying
when I thought of you.

Run my little crazy friend, run!

Well, what can I say ??
Someone sent it to me,
and no, I'm NOT going alone !!

This was the ode I was talking about earlier this week. A friend at work sent it to me and you know, some times I feel exactly like this! What really gets my attention is the run my little crazy friend, run!

Gotcha!

This morning as I was leaving for work, B whispers to me that she has to tell me something. I can hear J pulling out of the driveway at the same time. I ask he what. She tells me that Daddy played his ds last night when he was supposed to be asleep. Then the little stinker gives me the thumbs up sign. I'm not so sure that she's exactly right! I went in to ask him something before I went to bed and he was working on the ds. All three of them bought a Nerf Armour to protect their ds's and he was having trouble getting his off to get his charger in to charge his. Or at least that is he told me but according to B, he played until his battery went dead and now he is in trouble. I bought the ds for his Valentine's gift this year and so he can play it when ever he wants to and he's not in trouble but I guess she's thinking if she had been playing it when she should have been sleeping, she would have been in trouble so he should have been in trouble too.

Hmm, I guess I will have to give him a time out!

And here's where AJ takes ballet, the picture for yesterday. Ms. G is an awesome teacher!

Later!

Just hanging out

For the last two days, I've gotten the luck to pick up A from ballet. Usually my mom is the one who runs to WM and stays late to pick her up. Its an excuse but that's ok and I let my mom get away with it. But, this week, B has been really sick (again) and so I've sent my mom home with B and I've stayed around and waited for A. Last night as she came out, I snapped her picture. She didn't like it one bit. But, that's ok with me because I am part of the Parent-Paparatzi (and no, I do not know how to spell it correctly but I do know I am one!). On the way home, she was going to delete it from the camera but couldn't find out how so instead she took one of me to show off in case I ever showed the one of her to anyone. Blackmail. I told her that's ok because I was proud of every picture I ever take of her. Pretty or not, I think she's beautiful. Even when she makes the ugly chicken face. That really got her hot!

Here's both of our photos! Enjoy and I'll try to get more tonight. Tee-hee! I mean, that's why I own a camera!

Clueless

I have no idea where I am but I did sneak a peak before I logged on. And to have had to log on, I tell you I'm pretty far behind! I mean, I know I am in WR waiting for A to get out of ballet but that's about it. I have a great ode to post later but I got to catch up first!

February 12: Here's A&B heading off to school for Valentine's Day will goodies for their teachers. So far, they've had good teachers. I thank God for that because I am not teacher material.

February 17: Does homework ever have to be done? Of course not. If you have a daddy that plays and makes it seem like fun. Here J and A are doing math home work and measuring everything in the house possible that was included in the book! They finally gave out of things to measure!

February 20: Sick again. Its what got me not to posting and taking pictures to start with. Poor B! She's had sinus infection after sinus infection, we got her tonsils out and she's still sick. This time, she told me her throat hurt but I thought it was just sinus drainage again. She barely made it home from schoool before she crashed on the couch. Its pretty rough when you crash before mommy crashes and I'm the head crasher of all time in our family. I have always been the one to take naps!

January 22: Who called who a chicken? I wish I had this on video! But doesn't she make a beautiful chicken? Somebody needs to teach this ballerina to do the Funky Chicken!

I think I'm caught up with my pictures, I've got to stay caught up with everything!

More later!

I got a call this afternoon and B's nose had started bleeding during nap time. I know it scared the daylights out of her! Now that she is here with me, she seems to be her normal happy self but she doesn't seem to feel too good. But we've all been sharing a cold. Started with A, then B, then J and now me. She's reading her sight words to me and has read me one of her Jack and Jilly books that they didn't get finished at school so its not like she feels really bad. I think it is more the cold than the nose making her feel bad.

More from me later when I feel better too!

February 10,2009

Well, yesteryday was certainly a busy day. We got off work, ran by ballet and picked up B, J put her in the car, my mom is telling me about something that happened to her at school and out of the corner of my eye, I see the van slowly going backwards. I start running to it and jump in because the door is standing wide open. In that brief second I also see the door knocking J down, it jumping the curb and B falling out. So you know I'm first mad because I thougth they were playing and they shouldn't be but I realize that they weren't playing pretty fast. B is really scared. She didn't say anything for a few minutes and then of all things she starts saying that daddy saved the van.

We had a pretty moon again but not as pretty as the nigh before. I can't even remember what I took a picture fo now! Well, when I get it loaded, I'll let you see.
Later

Blood On The Moon

Have you ever heard of blood on the moon? I hadn't until some time after J and I met. We were watching a movie about a man that was going hunting or fishing with his dog and his wife said something about blood on the moon and a bird flying through the window. Ever seen the movie? Know what the name of it is? Anyway, something about blood on the moon means that someone is going to die. Well, on the way home from the PTO meeting tonight, we saw the moon and it was huge and there was blood on the moon. You guessed it, no camera in the van, my purse was at the house so no camera was with us but, by the time we got home there was still blood on the moon and we got a picture of it. We had to change all sorts of cameras and lens to get a good picture but we did get it finally.

Now, really, if you know the name of the movie, would you please tell me because I'd like to see it again! Thanks!

Sunday was B's Family Day. She wanted to eat at Red Lobster. We did. I told them at church that five years ago, I was looking for a fast plane back to GA because she would not shut up crying and she did not like me. But, she not only likes me now, she acts like me (which is VERY scary!). For the entire time we were in China, poor J had to take total care of her. If any of us females came within two feet of her, she started screaming and crying. He even had to hold her when he took a shower because if he left her in the room with one of us, she'd put in. It had to be hard work showering with your underwear on and a baby in one arm! Picture will be added when I get them downloaded!

February 7, 2009

We took Peanut to get his stitches out, ate lunch at Huddle House, went to Wal-Mart, watched Tinkerbelle, went to Scott's and ate, and that is all. When I get the photos downloaded, maybe I can remember something else! We didn't do much! Oh yeah, I remembered that we worked on B's Valentine Project for school. We, as a family, have to make a box for her Valentine's to go in.................here it it.

Getting Close

February 6, 2009:

I may have to go back and change dates on some of these. I just saw that I posted today's date on the picture for Beka playing the piano for either the 2nd or 3rd for today's date. I was thinking and talking about tomorrow and wrote the wrong date. I may not ever get it right!



The school has a book fair every so often. Friday was Grandparent's Day. B was also sick with a fever so she didn't get to go to school but they went to pick A up. Naturally they were checking out the fair. Then, they call out her name and she wins 5 books. That kid is lucky. I don't know how or why, but she's always winning stuff. Football tickets, flower arrangements, cakewalks, can't think of all of them right now. But she let A pick out two and all together, they picked out some pretty nice books that even I've enjoyed reading! Here she is proud of her winnings.

Double Snagger

February 5, 2009:

Why is it that every time that child has a tooth that needs to come out, it comes out on a Thursday night that she has ballet and on a Thursday night that is the night she sleeps with me????? Oh yes, everyone plays musical beds in this house but me. The doctor said the reason why I couldn't sleep was because I was playing muscial beds so I had to stop. I do sleep a little better, but I don't know it enough better to blame it on the music!

Anyway, here's the soon to be toothless wonder!!

Looks Like A Baby

February 4, 2009:

Here's Peanut and me. He wouldn't do for nothing all night but to sit with me. Wouldn't let the girls pet him or even get near him, if I went to the bathroom, he'd follow me and then sit and wait on me and follow me back to the couch. I guess he must have missed me more than usual. Or was this the day he gnawed through his collar? I think it was so he thought he was really in trouble. I think Poms are the Great Escape Artist Dogs of the World. I know Pystol and Bullet were and Zoto is when he gets half a chance so its only fitting that Peanut would be too!

Amazing!

February 3, 2009:

Oh my goodness. What were we doing 5 years ago? We were about to receive our second child. Unknown to me, she would be the loudest, screamingest, cryingest kid I'd ever met. At this point in time, I was still looking forward to meeting her! Actually, by the 8th when I finally got to hold her , I was ready to give her back, pack my bags and come back to Georgia! I had never met a kid that hated me that much! But if I could think ahead to now, I never met one so much like me or that loves me (except for A but only in a different way) than B does. This time of year is always very emotional. October and February. The Family Days for both of our girls. A dream so very longed awaited for and once obtained, so valued. I thank my God above each and every day for what he has given me. I know I am not the best mom but I know he has entrusted them to me and I will try to do my best for I love Him and I love them. He has never given me a better gift than these two girls. He is the best.

And here she is playing the piano. She's taught herself you know!

Later!

And Another

February 2, 2009:

I went to the doctor today and he's decided that he's going to use a little more alternative medicine. He gives me a list of new items that I need to add to my regular routine of pills. Vitamin D-3, Cinnamon, CQ-10, Omega-3 and Garlic.........................So here's a picture of ALL the pills I take Morning Noon and Night.

More Later!!

While I Got A Minute

February 1, 2009:

We went to Atlanta to the American Girl Store. A picked out the Girl of the Year and B picked the Just Like You girl. We also went to the Bistro. Had a fun day, we went because the 8th is B's Family Day and we wanted to be able to be at church and both of the girls have their dolls. Here's the moment of decision!

More later!
