Monday Happenings 2008-06-16 15:54:36 Andrew’s All Star baseball team is going to be here in about 90 minutes for swimming and chemistry building. Remember back when we had all the boys over for his regular baseball team to work on getting the boys more comfortable with one another? Well now we are doing it with the All Star [...] Read more:Monday

Disgusting 2008-06-17 19:22:16 As we got in the car to leave for Andrew’s baseball game today, Blake goes, “What’s that smell?” I sort of smelled it, but not really that much. Once I got to the baseball diamond and went to pull our chairs out of the back of my car I seen the culprit. [...]
Bachelorette 2008-06-24 23:41:23 I just got done watching Monday’s episode of The Bachelorette
for a second time. I just don’t get it. Why did DeAnna send Graham home? The girl is head over heels in love with the guy. I have yet to see her make a connection with any of the other guys [...]
Only took a year 2008-06-24 11:24:11 I wondered if this day would ever come. Ken’s old employer, the job he quit after 9 years so we could start our own business, called him the other day. Of course the owner of the company didn’t have enough balls to call himself, he made the human resources girl call. They [...]

Andrew is playing in an All Stars tournament today. We are about 25 minutes from home so there is no point in going home. [...] Read more:Wasting Time
Losing It 2008-06-20 23:18:21 I have officially lost my mind. It is near impossible to accomplish anything productive (work-wise) with the kids home. I started working on organizing my database calendar about an hour ago and realized how nice it is to sit and work while the house is entirely quiet. Next thing you know I [...]
Webkinz 2008-06-18 22:25:01 I’ve gone and got myself addicted to Webkinz. It started out this morning with Karli sharing my chair with me while I was trying to work. Then I went and helped her play some of the games. Next thing you know I found myself kicking Karli out and taking over her pets. [...]
This sick world we live in 2008-07-08 23:26:28 At least once a week I turn on the news and hear something about some sick jerk who has been arrested for some sort of sexual misconduct involving kids. I never thought that I would have it touch me this closely. It isn’t even really that close, but close enough to make me [...]

that has vampires in them. I don’t really

These pics were from several weeks ago, taken during one of Blake’s baseball games. I’m sitting here playing with my cell
Volunteering 2008-07-22 15:05:14 I was checking out the junior high website where Andrew will be attending next year. I made sure I saved some links, like the page where you can go and check out your child’s test grades and homework assignments and such. What a neat idea! I was thinking about how I could [...]
Stori Telling 2008-07-22 12:08:30 Does anyone happen to have the book by Tori Spelling - Stori Telling
- that they would be interested in selling to me? It is sold out everywhere and on back order and I wanted to take it on vacation with me. let me know! Thanks :p
Future Mom of the Year 2008-07-20 22:11:47 The other night I went to into Karli’s room to make sure she was covered before I went to bed and I found her like this. I thought it was so adorable. My almost 4 year old daughter sacrificing her own pillow and blanket for all her babies. Such a sweetie :p Read more:Future

Happy Birthday Karli! 2008-08-05 23:01:55 My baby girl is 4 years old today. Even though she already got a Nintendo DS and some games from us before we left for vacation, we treated her to a special day. I took her to Libby Lu for a makeover and some jewelry. They don’t have one near us so [...] Read more:Happy

Beach Bums 2008-08-02 23:41:17 Hello from Myrtle Beach
!!
Our second full day in Myrtle Beach and we are having a wonderful time. I am especially happy right this moment since I just picked up a copy of Breaking Dawn from Wallymart. I called the nearby Barnes & Noble and they told me I could get a copy on [...]

Crummy day 2008-08-21 00:30:06 One of my really close friends moved away today, 2 hours away from here. Everyone is sad. Not only am I losing a great friend, the kids are going to miss her kids. They go to school together, well the school age ones anyways. She has 4 kids also and one of [...]

The boys fished out at Ken’s brother’s house. It was Chase’s first time and he said it was practice so now he can go
Nights in Rodanthe 2008-08-15 17:51:15 Anyone who knows me know how much of a movie buff I am. When I went to see the Sex & the City movie (remember I went by myself?) they played the trailer to this movie and I got all teary eyed just from the preview. I absolutely love both Diane Lane and Richard [...]

Tired Babbling 2008-08-13 23:35:34 I just sent a potential client an email that let her know she has a typo in her signature tag. I must be sick or insanely OCD. It just bugged me seeing it sitting there, that extra comma in between her two word city. Like this : Green, Bay, WI 54301. Anyhow…
It’s [...] Read more:Babbling
Negativity 2008-09-13 10:20:13 Why is it that I feel like I am surrounded by negative people all the time? Every time I get on the phone with my mom she brings me down with her negativity. I have a friend who I talk to pretty periodically and all she does is bitch, bitch, bitch the entire [...]
Remembering… 2008-09-11 11:24:35 I’ve been spending all my time slowly trying to adjust to the kids being back to school. Getting up early is by far the biggest hurdle and then there is all the homework and reading with both Blake and Chase every night. Not to mention eating dinner early because of football.

First day of school - 2008 2008-09-03 07:01:10 That was quite a day. Busy, but enjoyable.
I woke Andrew up at 6am (OMG, waking up that early stinks SO bad it is not even funny…who wakes up when it is still dark outside!!) so he would have plenty of time to get ready. Plus you never know what time the [...] Read more:First
