This week is MY week!

OK, this is going to be quite a week. Monday, I get my test results (yes, I am STILL taking this stinking music test). Tuesday, we close on our house. Friday is my last weigh in for a "biggest loser" competition I have with a friend. YIKES! How do I get myself into these situations? I am a nervous wreck, but I am counting on everything going my way. (Please, Please, PLEASE let everything go my way!)

What do you love about YOUR husband?

I have come to realize more and more that I take my husband for granted. Big time! Are there things about him that drive me crazy? Always. BUT I have come to see just recently how lucky I am to have Chris. He is the hardest worker I know. He has the best sense and balance when it comes to raising our children. He is a dedicated and devoted husband. He makes me laugh like no one else. He's awfully cute too. I don't give him near as much credit as he deserves. So I'm wondering, what do you love most about YOUR husband?

The Balloon Classic

What a disappointment! We hauled our butts out of bed at 5:30 this morning and met up with the Kimballs to get to Memorial Park to go to the balloon classic. We got a good parking spot and everything seemed to be right on schedule. Then we heard the annoying announcer lady telling us that they were sending up test balloons because the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. So we meandered for a little while and then the announcement came that the balloons would be launching. A little late, but they would be launching. Well, instead of the MASS launch that they promoted, they had about 20 balloons launch. Lame, lame, lame. Oh well! Maybe next year will be more successful. It was still nice to hang out with our friends and to come home and take a good nap!

TGIF

What a glorious day! Today was my first Friday off since my kids started school and I am quite impressed with myself for everything I got done.
Today I...
*got up early and went to the gym
*went to my weight watchers meeting
*took the kids to school
*did ALL the laundry (yes friends, washed, dried, folded AND put away all in the same day)
*dropped off and picked up dry cleaning
*cleaned the entire house
*went to lunch with Deanna (my treat for getting the house cleaned)
*watched Martha Stewart (I love her show, but never get to watch it because of work)
*yoga tonight while the kids were gone
*watched what is left of the olympics

I usually have to get all the housework done on the weekend and I never feel like I have time to relax. Having Friday's off is going to make such a big difference. It's a happy day!

Back to school

Yes folks, it is that time again. Chris and I started last week but today was my kids first day back to school. I can hardly believe it. Sidney is in 6th grade and Megan is in 5th. How that happened I just don't know. It seems like just yesterday that there were 5 and starting kindergarten.Oh it's so sad how fast they grow. And HOMEWORK on the first day! Yikes!

My funny girl

Megan cracks me up. (on a regular basis) I went to download the latest pics from my camera onto my computer and there were a few surprises!

There were about 15 other pictures on there that she took of herself. Who knows? Maybe we have a future photographer in our family!
