Whaz UP?

So- Ive not been feeling well, but alas- I am all better. I had a horrible head cold for a full week, and I'm so thankful that it is behind me! So, I will be blogging again!
Girls Nite Out was fant-ab-ulous! We spent 5 hours of un-interrupted time at Applebee's just chatting it up and laughing out loud! Meow!
We are in full swing of summer- enjoying our cute kids and each other.
Hope all is well with everyone and I will be posting again this weekend and giving a more detailed account of whats happening and goin on!

Busy as a Worker Bee

So- I know it has been awhile! Everyone stop calling and complaining- I had a Fabulous B-day.
I ditched playing tennis ( which surprised Adam) and I laid on the couch for the first part of my morning. Then we took the kids to Pizza Factory and I was able to see my beautiful new niece- Libby. I really came to grips that day that I am never having another baby. I'm 39 and NEVER having another baby! As I sat there, holding her in my arms, I had this warmth in my heart that even though this child wasn't mine- I am now able to focus on her and my other little nieces and nephews more because my kids are older. Bitter sweet.
Then we came back home and I took a nap- and then we went to the Temple. I love to see the Temple....
We enjoyed being there with other ward members and it was a good session. After- we went to dinner with a couple from our ward, The Richeys. They are and were a lot of fun.
I had a very enjoyable b-day, doing exactly what I wanted.
So- Adam is gone again and as luck would have it- Parker lost his first tooth! So exciting for him and I was so surprised at how calm he was as he handed it to me!
Tomorrow is GIRLS NITE OUT!!!

Must be Nice!

So, here I am at home, runnin the show alone. Adam is away "working". I say it that way because he has gotten to go hang out with some of his "people" at a country club in Charlotte NC and now he is in Tampa going to a dinner and movie.
Girls why do men feel that this is work? Meanwhile my day started at 6:45, and more than 12 hours later I know that I have story time, a promised game of Trouble, Scripture reading, and the bedtime routine still ahead of me. When that's done and everyones settled I will finally be able to read my own leisure book. That wont be for another hour to hour and a half.
Now- I don't feel sorry for myself because this has been my life for the last 11 years, since our first child was born. All I'm saying is that my interpretation of work is clearly different from most- meaning my husband and I'm sure a lot of other husbands.
I think also maybe I'm a little envious- envious that Adam has not even once thought of calling since he is so "busy" enjoying himself. How many of us mothers can last 20 minutes away from our babies with out worrying about how they are doing, and if they are safe?
I don't wish for that ability, all I want to know is- am I the only one out there who feels this way?

Kickin It Old School!

Forgot to mention- listen to some of my summer tunes- these songs bring back some good memories of my summers growin up. (except Rock Star by Prima J- it's a song I heard on Nickolodean) Thanks for bloggin

39 and STILL hot- or Not!

So maybe I've lost some flair but I'm lookin forward to this year of being 39! I can't help but wonder- where did my youth go? I have so many fond memories of my childhood, and the one that just came to my head was- I was always worried where I was goin to be- I used to tell my mom that I wish I had a fast forward button so that I would know where I was goin to be later in life. She would tell me- "Stop worrying- slow down- enjoy this time- these are the best years of your life." That was when I was in high school and yet my thought haven't changed. I still wish sometimes I had that fast forward button.(especially now that we are trying to sell our home)
All I know is- each year as I gain another year, I look forward to it. Maybe I will change my attitude when I hit the big 4-0!
That being said, I am still on my quest to loose my last 5 which was 4 but is now back up to 5.
I know- I failed to lose the last 5! I really didn't put forth the effort but by July 4th you'll be congratulating me! So put that on your calendars.
Also- for those of you who live in my area- Check out this new cute store when you are in the area off Sunset by the" Golden Spoon." It's called "Queens and Jacks" and is owned by one of our local teachers whose name happens to be the coolest- Shannon!
She carries a variety of fun, stylish, top brand clothes. I just got two very cute shirts and spent just under $70. I love em and wore one of them the other day and got a few compliments.
Check her store out and lets keep her busy! (If you go there on a tues or wed you can stop in the Golden Spoon when it's two for one punch day- so DOUBLE treat yourself!)
