its only wednesday??????

1. kaylee giving the peace sign with her new back pack

2. is it just me or is this week going slowly?

3. guess thats what happens when someone plays hooky from work all week. [i have made phone calls and emails]

4. i got a dozen cupcakes from adam's bakery to take to mike's work but he never got back with me if they were in the office or not. [thought i would meet his boss]

5. so now i have a dozen,scratch that, 10 cupcakes left that my muffin top is not needing but it keeps growling like it does.

6. my hair looks nice today though i'm in desperate need of some bangs for my big forehead.

7. mike just informed me that he got a great bonus + raise. high fives all around!

8. and i get another paycheck this week though it won't be very much.

9. i need to start getting stuff done for ham's graduation.

10. i also felt like exercising today. i know- i think i'm getting sick!

come to mama!

cinnamon roll pancakes!

[with a side of bacon-YUM!]

peace out!

taken this morning

1. i was concerned with kaylee's hair and how it was lacking in style. [don't need 2 frump girls]

2. so i changed her part and straightened her hair. much better!

3. she likes giving the peace sign lately. guess its better than some other sign right?

4. today was run errands day. got some food and household items. and most importantly- star bucks strawberries and cream frappuccino. YUM!

5. i also got the short second life of bree tanner to read while kaylee was at her dance class.

6. but i forgot that it was parent watch day so i took some videos. if i knew how to load them on here i would.

7. the book was awesome. short and sweet. and i highly recommend the twilight books and/or the movies chantale!

8. and i'm wanting to go away for my birthday though its super close to mike's mini marathon. maybe we should go away for his birthday???? [we meaning i]

9. its been a rough week getting back to normal school hours after a week of delays.

10. found out mike's side of the family thinks my parents bought ham' car. kinda p.o'd. everything we have is from mike working hard and me putting up with the long hours and phone calls.

too young for star bucks?

1. i know i'm nuts. or at least a little coo-koo.

2. while getting ready for my road trip yesterday i came down with a case of mother's guilt. i did not make a single meal all weekend!

3. my poor hammie was probably starving to death! [yep, that's how my brain works]

4. so my retail therapy had to make do with the mall in ft. wayne.

5. before leaving we all got a peppermint hot chocolate with soy milk. whip cream of course!

6. kaylee was so excited that she got her own star bucks drink and repeated over and over how good it was.

7. got two things at the h+m store and that was it. kaylee + mike did ride the merry go round that's there.

8. came home and made dinner. did laundry too.

9. mike is out with the big boss. still no word on what's going to happen to us.

10. started reading the twilight series again. great books!

quiet house

ham christmas

1. i LOVE this photo because it reminds that he is STILL a kid. [he's wearing some of his christmas presents]

2. i have the whole house to myself at the moment. kaylee is sleeping and both of my boys are out tonight. [stressful!]

3. today was not a good day for me. i really hate winter. i hate having no friends. i hate that there is nothing to do around here and if there is, i don't know about it.

4. i feel if i'm going to be unhappy and miserable, i should be in hawaii being unhappy and miserable.

5. didn't make it to indy. mike didn't really want to go yet he didn't want to stay home.

6. i'm going to indy tomorrow. if they want to join me, they can.

7. we ate a late lunch at olive garden. came back and took a nap.

8. mike cleaned the house up some while i was taking my nap.

9. kaylee + i watched 500 days of summer.

10. i made super-crunchy "fried" chicken and ree's potato wedges the other night for dinner. i did not get a single complaint from hamilton so that means it must of been good!

asian redneck in a monster truck

kaylee getting tired of me taking crappy photos till i went auto

1. i'm fighting a serious urge to go down to indy to go shopping tomorrow.

2. i want to hit h+m for some clothes, pottery barn for a letter holder bin thingy + trader joes for some more popcorn + soy sauce.

3. we will probably stay home and clean the house instead because it just feels dirty.

4. what we really need is some nice weather and warm sunshine so we can open up some windows!

5. got kaylee's new backpack and lunchbox today. she went around wearing them and chanting "who has the best mommy, daddy and "brudder" in the world?"

6. then she would say "ME! i love you mommy."

7. had another 2 hour delay from school. so this week the kids had monday off, tuesday was a regular day and for the rest of the week- 2 hour delays.

8. we've been so SPOILED!

9. i've been reading blogs again and have decided that i really find it annoying when they link the whole post so i've decided not to do that too much. a link now and then is ok but the whole post?!

10. glad to report the rover will not be costing us an arm and leg. it lost some gasket, nuts + bolts thingy- blah blah blah. they need to order another gasket so it goes back sometime next week. just so happy i don't look like some asian redneck in a monster truck anymore.

love!
