Happy Birthday Sweet 16!!!

16 years ago today I gave birth to her at 6:45 PM. She weighed in at 9 lbs. 11 oz. Seems like only yesterday..........

Almost Over

The school year is almost over. 3 more days with noon dismissal. Am I ready for "I'm bored", "I'm hungry"? No, not quite. Fortunately we will be away for 2 weeks and when we get back, Kat will hoprefully be able to get into that college class. COLLEGE! OMG, I think I'm going to be sick! I feel sooooo old! They were just born yesterday! Kari is turning 16 on Monday! Where has the time gone?????

We are planning on having a BBQ on Sunday for Memorial Day/ Kari's Birthday. It ALWAYS rains on Memorial Day weekend ESPECIALLY since we are planning something. :)

I've been dieting & exercising. Nothing works. I wonder if it is the stupid cysts???? I guess I won't know until we get back. I am so totally ignoring the pains & discomforts. Hopefully I can avoid another surgery.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers, I hope you had a great day!

Danny was working so the girls and I had lunch at Samurai on Saturday. Then on Sunday we went to my mom's and spent some time there. I made a killer cheesecake .... YUM! The girls gave me a card each and a box of chocolates. Sweeties, have you seen the junk inside my trunk????? But mommy, you're not fat.... yeah right! Anywho, I also got my new laptop! Dude, I got a Dell! Don't know what the deal with Dell is, seems the same to me. I'm just happy with my internal wireless instead of that doo-hickey stickin out from the back.


Came home and plopped myself down to watch Deperate Housewives & Grey's Anatomy. Can I just say OMG! I absolutely LOVE Grey's Anatomy! I hate that it's the season finale. I can't wait to watch tonight. All I'm saying is that the president better not interrupt my G.A!

Out of it

I've been feeling out of sorts for the past 2 days. Crying for no reason. Don't know what's going on. Peri maybe? Who knows? I had surgical meno so I doubt it.
Maybe it's the lack of adult conversation. Knowing that 8 out of 10 times, what I say goes in one ear and out the other. Whatever it is, I want it to go away. It gives me a headache..... and a heartache.

Green!!!!

Green, my second favorite color.

The color of MONEY.

The color of EMERALDS.

And the color that my lawn SHOULD be,

if it would only rain!

This boy should NOT have gone home today!

I don't know if I'll keep watching. I am sure that Chris will have a successful career though.

I love his voice.

Where is the rain???

I waited all day for the rain that was predicted. I didn't turn on the sprinklers nor did I water the plants. Gotta conserve water but how can we if we get no RAIN! My grass is hay, the plants are wimpy, the pool was low. I had to break down & fill the pool when the pump started making noises because it was so low. Took over 3 hrs to fill a few inches.

Grass Fires. Over 9,000 acres have burned. Everything is so dry, it's no wonder. People don't care though. They still flick their cigarrettes out the window and ride their ATV's in the extremely dry brush.

Maybe tomorrow.......

On death

I hate funerals. I don't want one. I don't want people looking at my dead body and have that last image of me. No flowers either. Heck, take the $100 plus and donate it to St. Judes. I don't want to be buried, I want to be cremated. I think it costs more to die than to be born. Fortunately this lady led a full life, she died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 91. That's how I want to go.
