bad selfie and lazy blogger

1. i'm not very good at taking selfies.  i know i'm not facing the right way for a clear shot but i like the unclear ones of me the best. (taken after i had gotten my hair done that day)

2. boy have i been a bad, lazy blogger. too lazy to upload photos or to link back some of my favorite items.

3. i went crazy shopping today. headed to the woodlands and went to marshalls/homegoods.

4. got my self a top and a quilt for my bed. its so pretty!

5. then headed over to world market where they had this quilt on hold for me. its in kaylee's room and we're using the purple side.

6. then i went to pottery barn to see if they had any placemats and napkins in stock that i saw on joanna gaines instagram.  they did so i bought them plus linen colored napkins plus silver napkin rings.

7. now i'm debating if i want to do half printed/half linen napkins and place mats so its not so matchy match.

8. and since i was in the area, had to stop at the cheesecake factory to order a shrimp and bacon club sandwich with sweet potato fries to go.

9. and on my way out, i had to stop at kiehls because i had gotten a sample of their bb cream and loved it so a big tube had to be bought.

10. then i told myself i needed to get straight home and that tomorrow is cleaning day. 

wish my kids would stop growing up

1. i took this at the beginning of the school year. we decided to hit target after school and grab a snack at fivebucks aka starbucks.

2. while we were waiting for her vanilla bean frappucino with soy milk, chocolate drizzle and whip, i looked over at her and saw her as a teenager or heck, even as a grown woman.

3. and it made it me sad. i hope she will let me continue to go shopping with her when she's older. 

4. not much else going on. kaylee's still playing tennis, mike and i are still getting our butts kicked by bootcamp. 

5. i'm cleaning out my closet but hate the layout and deciding what to do with it.

6. last saturday, kaylee went to a slumber/birthday party so mike and i went to see the aggies play.

7. the new stadium that johnny built (thats what i call it) is awesome! just as nice as the minute maid baseball park and this is a college stadium!

8. mike and i got new aggie gear. the weather was perfect for some long sleeves.

9. i might have gotten 2 dipping dot ice cream in mini aggie helmets.

10. we didn't get home till 2AM because all the hotels were booked. we kept trying to call the hilton every hour for any cancelations and ham only has a studio apartment.

so last friday

from tennis camp: coach ro

1.  before school, mike texted me saying we should get kaylee out of school early and go and visit ham up in college station. (kaylee read the text before me) 

2. we couldn't go because she has tennis from 4:30-5:30 and this is only her 2nd lesson.

3. she was not happy when i dropped her off at school that morning but seemed fine when i went to eat lunch with her.

4. mike picked her up after school and she went straight to her room.  she was pouting that she had tennis and that she didn't want to go and that she doesn't like tennis.

5. mike took her to her lessons so he could watch her but next thing i know, he's back home and says she's laying down in the back of the car crying and she wouldn't get out.

6. so i had to be mean mom and told yell that her tiny butt was going to tennis even if that meant that i had to carry her! i stayed to watch just in case she decided to be a butt and not play. 

7. after practice, she was happy again and said it wasn't bad. an hour and half long tantrum all for nothing.

8. guess she ended up having a bad afternoon. her friends got her in trouble for talking and another friend said that they were invited to another friends house and she wasn't able to go because of tennis.

9. since she said she was sorry for throwing her fit, we did let her go to friday night live with her friend meredith that evening. (a church that has events for kids so they have something safe and fun to do)

10. coach ro calls her my because on the first day of camp he asked her what her name was and she said my name is kaylee. (i think its cute)

brain dumping thursday

1. this is kaylee's first day of school photo. i'm still too lazy and won't get my phone to load up ham's. he wouldn't let me post it on facebook.

2. mike said i should do it anyway but i'm friends with a few of ham's friends and they will tell him and then he won't send me any more photos of himself.  i still have at least 2 more years of school photos of him to be taken. (he's a junior but decided to change majors)

3. my grandpa jack was in my dreams last night. i miss that guy.

4. yesterday at boot camp we did time trials to see how much we've improved.  i'm happy to report that i kicked boot camp's ass and finished it. i came in 3rd in my group and my time was 6 minutes.

5. we had to run 400 m, do 40 squats, 30 sit-ups, 20- pushups and 10 burps.

6. we also had to see how many sit-ups, push-ups and squats we could do in 60 secs. i improved on everything.

7. we start a new session on monday. mike has decided to give it a try as well. just to change up his workouts.

8. ham texted me yesterday needing more money and how his car is not running right. i've dubbed him H.A.M = huge amounts (of) money! haha!

9. still dog sitting. i'm ready to be a one dog person again. 3 more days...3 more days....

10. okay, off to find something to make for dinner tonight.

currently

tennis camp 2014

1. being lazy and won't get my phone to load up 1st day of school photos.

2. dog sitting again. [only 5 more days, only 5 more days... seems to be the chant]

3. getting her involved in a sport and tennis is the sport of champions. today is her first lesson.

4. thinking about gymnastics too just because it would be cool to see her do some tumbling action.

5. went up to the woodlands saturday for labor day fireworks. we spent most of our time in line to get kaylee's face painted but it was okay because the music wasn't as good as last time.

6. the johnson's came over sunday with steaks and ribs, garlic bread and baked beans for a cookout. i made meatballs + weiners, hot pizza dip, fruit salad, chili cheese tator tot casserole, crockpot mac-n-cheese and kaylee made brownies for dessert.

7. we did absolutely nothing on monday except order chinese food for dinner.

8. ham didn't come home for the weekend. it was a big party weekend i'm sure at school.

9. freaked out last week because i saw TONS of gray hair so i got myself an appointment at a new place and they did a fantastic job!

10. mike is going to join me for bootcamp next week. a new class starts at 7pm monday, tuesday and thursdays.
