Finger licking good.



This is why you don't let a teenager be in charge of your sunscreen!! You've been warned!



This is why I am missing the fireworks!!!

I am such a total G O O B E R ! ! ! !

Last night I was invited to a girls night out at the Grove Park Inn. I LOVE THE GROVE PARK INN!!!! I had debated if I was going to go for days! I usually don't go out without my babes! Not that I am unable to go out, I just choose not to go out.

I had already had a bath and in my pj's crawled up in bed. Then I decided, "WHY NOT?" So at 8:30 pm I started getting ready. I thought I looked really nice all dolled up. I even wore a pair of heels. They are some of my favorites. I found them in Atlanta, GA at a place called Junk Man's Daughter. I think that's it. I'll ask Superdad when he gets up because he is the one that introduced me to that awesome store!!!

Then everyone started moaning that their mommy/wife was leaving them to fend for themselves. Really, they did!!! So then I was doubting my decision and about ready to crawl back in bed. Lil O was crying that she would miss me. Baby M kept wanting to nurse. I am sure she sensed that I was leaving as well. HA HA!! H & B2 were BICKERING!! OMGoodness!!!!

I made it out the door and made the short drive to the GPI. I live just down the road so at least I would be close to home if I was needed.

I had a terrible time. LET ME REPHRASE THAT!! The company was wonderful but I missed my family. I was anxious and out of my comfort zone. Since I was driving I only allowed myself one drink. If I had been able to drink a couple more I would have relaxed and had a better time.

To make a short story even shorter, I was home by 10:30. HA HA!!! I am such a GOOBER!!!

Maybe next time I'll do better.

A week in review #2..

You need to bookmark this site for your kids. Even for yourself as well.

How Stuff Works

I know B2 and Superdad could spend HOURS checking things out. I thought I would post something FUN since tomorrow everyone will be watching the beautiful fireworks!

"How Fireworks Work"

Fireworks may seem magical, but the science behind them is easy to understand. Learn how fireworks and firecrackers work.

TGIF ! ! ! ! !

I love a good Friday! Well, aren't they all good?

Baby M woke me up in the wee hours this morning to nurse. I laid there in bed thinking. Listening to the wind blow. Nothing specific came to mind. Then I drifted back to sleep.

Everyone is home today. Superdad gets a bonus day added to his weekend for the holiday. Last night, LOL, he got all dressed up to hunt bees. Actually remove that hive under the deck. He reminded me of the villain in the first Hell Boy. You know the one filled with sand? It was rather comical seeing Superdad go into battle with the yellow jackets. He didn't get stung so I guess he won the battle. WTG Superdad! You are our hero. Now we can play on the deck again! I got up with the kids this morning so he could sleep in as his reward. I am sure he was thinking of something else though. :)

Be sure to check back later for my Week in Review!!!!!!!!

Vintage Buttons, Bee's and Yogurt.

I sorted out the buttons finally. I combined purple and blue because they were driving me insane. I combined pink and red. I combined the green and yellow. I have a jar of neutral colors. I have a "what's left" jar as well. I am not liking the mason jar idea. When I find a different container to store them then I can sort them again. It was very relaxing. I washed up the old tin they were in as well.



I put them on top of my china cabinet.



Baby M loves to feed herself. She always has to have a bath after. I wonder why?



Look what Superdad found under our back deck??? Yes, that is a beehive!

I Promise.

That I will not look at the HP Contest web page until after dinner.

How's that?

A day in my shoes. Or part of it anyway.

Just so you know.

~I usually breastfeed Baby M while typing up blog posts. I am right now.

~My breakfast is usually coffee with a side of my meds. I usually skip the MOST IMPORTANT meal of the day. I always have a nice lunch, dinner and an afternoon snack.

~I drink water all day!!!!!! Unless I make a pitcher of sweet tea. I DO live in the south and sweet tea is in our food pyramid.

~I always make my bed up when I get out of it. That way I resist the urge to crawl back in it to hide from the kids. They always find me anyway.

~I am usually the last one to get dressed. It's usually right before lunch when I get a chance. I don't mind though because I love wearing my pj's.

~I have been known to even wear my jammies to get the kids from school. No biggie. I stay in the minivan anyway.

To Be Continued. (My sis just called.)

**Let me try this again.**

~I leave Facebook open most of the day. I enjoy writing quick updates and see what everyone else is up to. ~Plus play Scrabble, hanging head~

~I listen to lots of music during the day. Right now I am listening to Bjork, Come To Me.

~I love to dance around with the kids. They think I am totally a goof ball.

~I usually enjoy a cold beer in the afternoon. H will sometimes give me a hard time about it. I don't get tipsy or anything like that. I love a cold beer. I was once told,

"You have four kids if you didn't drink I would think something is wrong with you."

You KNOW who you are that once told me that!!!!

~I can totally tune out the kids when they argue. Unless I hear a blood curdling scream then I am all over it. They have to learn to work somethings out between themselves. Agree?

To Be Continued Again...
