Two hands old...

Cassidy turned 10 on Sunday...didn't I just give birth to that child...I can certainly remember it like it was yesterday...We had her party at Shankz - a blacklight miniature golf place...she said it was the best ever...Jon's parents were here for the weekend, so they got to enjoy the crazy with us! ...here are some pics for your viewing pleasure....enjoy!

I love Russians....

now, THIS makes me happy.... www.petitelapgiraffe.com

I'm feeling a little down today...I'm not really sure why...I'm all alone right now - the girls went to the club to swim and I've just been sort of goofing around on the computer...I need to do laundry and do some major picking up around here - its bad enough that its bothering me, so it obviously needs to be done...I don't know if I'm homesick....can you get homesick even after you've moved away for 9 years? I wish I could take a trip to LA soon, but that's doubtful till school's out... at least I know Mama will be here at the end of May...but that seems so far away...I had Chester out a little while ago, maybe I'm missing him...although I have 2 crazy dogs that would love to do nothing more than sit in my lap right now...maybe I'm stressed out for Megan with trying out for drill team for next year and for Cassidy with her grades and what to do about her meds...maybe my meds aren't working well enough - I take enough that I should be in a pretty good mood all the darn time, you would think...maybe I'm jealous that Jon's in a fabulous locale and I don't get to do stuff like that...maybe it's all of these things or none of that and it's just one of those days that you aren't happy.

under the sea....

we had our spring fundraiser at David last night....weeks of work, one night of fun, and now its over...it turned out pretty darn good. We have such a great group of people pulling it all together...we rock for sure! I can't believe our time at David is coming to an end...Cassidy will be moving on to Collins in the fall...I'm just not ready for my baby to grow up I guess...I'm a little jealous of my friends that will still have little ones there...but that's just part of it, we gotta move on when its time. However, if you don't want to be in a flood zone, you might not want to stand next to me when it's time for the clap out on the last day...

what's the deal?

I don't know if it's the weather, allergies, hormones, stress or what, but my migraines are acting up... you would think with the amount of medications I take daily that I would never have anothr headache EVER.... oh well...on the bright side, I get to spend the rest of the week up at David working on the classroom baskets for the auction for our fundraiser this weekend...Can't wait til Saturday at 4...or maybe 8.... hahaha!!!!

omg - electives!

Last night, we spent Valentines Day up at Knox Jr. High trying to decide what electives Megan would be taking in 7th grade. I have to say I was mightly impressed with this school...it looks like she's going to have a great experience there...so many fun options! But I can't believe that she'll be going to Jr. High in the fall...makes me want to hurl a little...

just so you know...

no snow...we did have a nice slick sheet of ice on the deck though...it made for interesting watching when Jon would walk out there in his boots...boots + icy deck = almost busting your butt.
