Mother's day

I LOVE my mommy!!! I love my Grandma's!!! and I LOVE what great mom's my sisters are!! I love ALL the kids that we all have running around. Even my 2 that drive me crazy!! It is an odd thought to think of how different life could have been with out just one of those elements in it! I hear stories of families that are not close and it is sad to me!! I miss my family that just lives in other states!!! but to not talk to them is beyond me. I know I have said this before but it always hits me on holidays!

I had a nice Mother's day and got few cute school made projects from Mardi!! Cade just kept telling me he loves me today, very sweet.

I hope all my mommy friends & family had a blessed and wonderful day!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Clumsy???

So my daughter now has sprain #2 is as many weeks!! last Saturday she hurt her ankle at a bouncy party & yesterday she did something to the other foot!!! Oh the DRAMA of a hurt foot!!

So now she is in for the weekend...at least she is fine hanging in the basement with control of the TV and her crafty type stuff!!

Hmmm...not doing well

Maybe I should have said I would do EVERY OTHER day in May!!! So today I am BEAT!! A fun week of activities at the kids school is over and the teachers are SOO Happy!!!

So I am taking an easy blog from my cousin Jen..


Maybe May

Maybe my foyer will get done...
Maybe the kids will clean their rooms
Maybe a laundry fairy will move in
Maybe I will get a new pair of shoes

Every song a memory...

This morning while I was at the kids school setting up a Sundae Bar for the teacher's in honor of Teacher Appreciation week, the aid from Cade's class was having her sundae as my friend Pat turned on music for the teachers to enjoy. The aid says there is no way you guys know this song, it was James Taylor's Fire & Rain, the conversation went on about age and such. I said I have a varied taste in music because I have older sisters and my mom always listened to music, she said her parents did not so she didn't really know music till high school!!!!





That thought was just CRAZY to me!!





Music is so woven into my life that I don't think I have gone a day with out it. I love when a song comes on that brings up a memory some good, some GREAT , and some I wish I no longer had!! I think everyone does that, hears a certain song that will make you remember a person you will never forget and the ones that you can't!!
I think I was in my late teens when I learned that someone was in the kitchen with Dina not Ina (my aunts name)!!
Still to this day when I hear someone whistling a song it makes me think of my Grandpa and sitting in his kitchen while he cooked something yummy!!
Kenny Rodgers will forever be burned into my head as Saturday Morning cleaning music, since it is what my mom would play!
I have songs that when they come on I have to call my cousin Rachel and play them to her!!
When at a wedding that one song that all my sisters and I HAVE to dance to!!

I am passing this love onto my kids and they already will say "Remember when we danced to this on the deck or when we were on our way to Grandma's we sang this."


So take this moment and listen to your iPod on shuffle and see how many times your songs can make you smile!!!

EPIC FAIL!!!

So I miss a day!!! EEKKKK!!

I don't know how I missed it! I thought about it in the morning and said to myself no don't do it now wait for the day to go on...maybe one of your kids will be cute and charming, well that didn't happen ( they now can't talk at the dinner table, don't ask) or maybe Brian will come home and have a story to share...nope nothing good there! So my blog was left neglected, I am a bad bad blogger!! So now today you get a double dose!! So I will share the highlight of my day yesterday.....

This wonderful but a bit naughty, cover the kids eyes joke

I got this from one of my fave author's, Jennifer Weiner, Facebook pages she was asking for funny jokes to win a copy of her newest book & this was one of the winners

A husband and wife are watching a T.V. program about Psychology which was explaining the phenomenon of "Mixed Emotions". The husband says to his wife "That is just a bunch a of crap. I bet there is nothing you could say to me that would make me feel happy and sad at the same time"
The wife turns to him and says

"Out of all your friends you have the biggest dick"

Day 2!!

I am love loving the sunshine of the last 4 days!! I would love for the heat to start to kick up also!! We got a pool for our backyard and I am looking forward to swimming and relaxing in it. I am thinking that I will have kid free hours for my pool!! LOL just so I can float and listen to music happily with out being splashed or flipped!! SO BRING ON THE HEAT!!!

Jumping all in this month!!!

So I am joining my cousin and doing a blog a day in May!!! I am not promising awe inspiring blogs everyday but hopefully I will at least give you a nice smile!!
