4 generation slumber party

Well I missed the premiere because I was out of town, can't wait to hear about it.
I was in small town USA for the annual pancake supper and bingo night. When I say small, I don't think most people really know what I mean. I'm talking no stoplights in the town small. We had so much fun. I didn't win anything but Ryland won a couple of things. There were a ton of prizes and the pancakes were D-lish. My favorite moment of the weekend was hanging out one night in the bedroom with my Grandma, my Mom and my little girl. A four generation slumber party...talking, laughing, telling stories. It was, for me, the highlight of the weekend. Age is definitely just a number. We were 4 girls giggling and talking in the back bedroom, completely spontaneous, it will be remembered forever!!!

tonight...

Gears, Grease and Guitars

(click and see the trailer)

Tonight is Bobby's Movie Premiere and guess what????

I have Nothing to wear...Not that anyone is looking, because the entire group is made up of lovely gals who look like this...

It's ok...I'm confident in my "intelligence"....which helps...hahahaha damn...I wish I hadn't drink,drank, drunk all those calories last week/month when I decided to start running again.  I actually thought last night...4 veggie nuggets and then I can indulge in One Tuaca and Gingerale...then I rationalized the fact if I didn't have the Gingerale I could have more Tuaca...(see the intelligence factor at work)

I'll be able to fit into something...I'm sure...

whatever, at least I'm not having my Monthly Visitor.

Whatever, what I don't have in Beauty...I have in age and personality...wait a minute, that isn't what I meant...Let's just say I have personality.

good enough...I have to go drag my ass up to the closet and find something.  it's 1030 am and I only have 8 hours to figure it out...I'll probably end up in jeans and a tshirt.

any suggestions?

Spring wooohooo

Miss O...Ta-DAAAA

(don't ask about the outfit...she picked it out)

Blossoms of Spring

Pretty girl

Last weekend we had our party and went to Pearl Street with Olive.  It was beautiful......here are some of Miss O's antics which We deal with on a daily basis.  Yes she is a hoot.

Holy Moly Batman...

It appears I have been stuck in the Bat Cave.  I took some much needed time to myself to ....ummm let's see, have our 3rd annual "Liquor Egg Hunt",  Get my calendar in order, have some time with Olive,  Have some much needed pre-teen talk with Ilin (you know , the importance of deoderant and changing your underwear), and sleep. 

We have another hectic weekend coming up.  Bobby's movie premiere....OOOhhHH....which I have nothing to cram on my stumpy body...for Olive or  me...and studies for school...and I definitely need to get some spinach in the ground.  I'm almost afraid its too late for spinach.  I'll do it anyways...my god Myssi it's only 99 cents worth of seeds.

I have many pictures...I promise I will post tonight...party...My day with chubs in Boulder...and the colors of Spring here.

I have many wants and needs for the bags...and Synda and I have to have our "mommy liquor time" to work on the Grrryoga Bag.

off to nursing hell...

oh yeah I watched chest tubes being pulled yesterday...yummy

Can't worry about it.

How does it work that I can plan my entire life out, step by step, including all the small details of fabulous projects I'm going complete in the future, but I can't seem to figure out my plans for the weekend? Short term kills me. Is this normal? Is it normal to see the future with no beginning? Man, it give me a headache and stress combined.

We got our schedule for nursing next semester and I knew when they were handing it out that I shouldn't have looked. I heard all the students saying, "jeez, this is going to kill me!" This is coming from mostly 24 yr olds or wives of people who support them...and I thought, "shit". Just like that. "Shit..SHIT". (Don't look at it Momma, no sense in freakin' yourself out yet)...Then like magic,one dropped on the desk in front of me,

"NOOOOO".

You see, my new motto is to try not to get freaked about things I don't have control over...this is one of them.

What did I do? I looked at it, started adding up the days of the week and the hours in class vs. how many hours I can squeek in between 4 am and the start of class, then maybe I can drive back to work after classes at 4 pm and work another 3 hours, go home and cook dinner, help the kids with homework,get them in bed, try to do my homework, and then start all over....5 days a week for 15 weeks. I didn't weep at that point. I just smiled and thought to myself. Quit your belly achin', I'm sure there is some poor person in South Africa that would love to change places with me right now. OK? Got it.

This is it...I go home and when I should study I think about sewing or where I can go on vacation.
I think about finishing the knitting or taking Olive to Disney World. I think about what I would do if I had time, more time....

I often think maybe I should take a loan out for the $$$ so I wouldn't have to work. I live debt free, basically, and I couldn't bare to carry the stress of a loan. Any suggestions?

dreaming of....
