Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
I'm queen for the day
Happy birthday to me!


Sure wish this was really my birthday cake


I had a great day today. Joe and LJ took me out to lunch. We ate at Applebees. Joe thought he was going to embarrass me by telling them it was my birthday and having them sing to me but he was disappointed. They gave me free ice cream..but no singing. I was prepared though...wouldn't have been embarrassed. Hehe.

Then we came home and I headed out to the mall. I picked out a new suitcase and a few new shirts. Happy birthday to me! I got me some new fabric to make myself a new Vera Bradley wannabe purse. My day is almost over though. We're going to get LJ down to sleep and then watch Mall Cop. I've heard it's very funny.

Watch your feet!

We stopped by the fire station tonight on the way home to see Joe and let LJ "drive" the firetrucks. We were about to leave and we were walking into the station to get something when Joe looks down to see this snake!



It's a small rattlesnake. I scooped LJ up and the guys grabbed a shovel to kill it. I'm so glad it was spotted before it spotted LJ. He was within inches of it!

Thanks to all the troops

Just a quick thank you to all of the men and women out there who risk their lives for our country's freedom. May God bless and keep you!

Happy Memorial Day to everyone.

I'm just sitting around enjoying the day off. Got the housework done this morning and now it's time to relax. I spent the weekend at the river. Popa's 87th birthday was yesterday so we went down to celebrate. It rained a lot! but we still had fun. The kids got to swim some.

My heart has been acting up for a couple weeks now and I finally scheduled a dr. appointment for Wednesday. It happened before when I was pregnant with LJ but not as frequently. It'll be beating fine and then it'll feel like it stops for a second then starts back beating quickly a couple times. Makes me kind of gasp for a breath. It's not a good feeling when it does it a lot. It has been doing it more and more this past weekend so I decided to call the dr. Joe listened with the stethoscope and said it beats normal, then stops, then beats quickly then normal again. I just hope it's doing it when I go to the dr. wednesday. That way I can figure out what's going on.

Well, off to relax some more. I'm reading a really good book so I think I'll read some more.

Clean Teeth

LJ went to the dentist for his first check-up today. It was a last minute thing since we had an opening to fill and Joe was at home with LJ so I didn't have my camera to capture the moment. Bad mommy. He did good. Joe had to lay in the chair and put LJ in his lap but he let Brandy polish his teeth and then let Dr. Hughes check them. He was a little unsure and kept asking what everything was but he did great. I'm so proud of him.

Imagine a handsome little boy laying in his daddy's lap in the dental chair and there's your image. LOL I hate that I didn't have a camera!

Countdown to Boston

Oh as the days go by and the arguing gets worse my trip to Boston seems like it will never happen. LJ has started this screaming thing. I thought only girls were supposed to scream like that. Guess not. And he's just about ready to give up his naps. I rely on naps for a few minutes of peace and quiet. Sanity level....very low these days.

I leave for Boston on June 27. Flying (for the very first time) out of Atlanta. Hoping it's not as scary as I imagine it will be. But once I get there it will be worth it! I don't fly home until July 3! woohoo. It will be a much needed and much appreciated break.

Boom-de-clap-de-clap

Got it stuck in my head. Can't stop singing it.

I took the girls to see the Hannah Montana movie today. It was a good movie and the girls had a great time. Sure would be nice if a trip to see a movie didn't put you $30 in the hole! That's crazy.
movie ticket $6.50 x 3
popcorn lg 6.00
drink lg 4.50

total cost for movie trip $28.50
Worth it? Sure it was. The girls didn't fuss at all and I could tell they were really having fun.

We left the movie and went straight to Walmart to buy the sountrack. Then we blared it on the way home. The girls know all the words to the Hoedown Throwdown song but I just know the boom-de-clap-de-clap part. LOL

To all the truck drivers

A huge thanks to all the drivers who put a smile on my son's face as we cruise down the interstate on the way to his speech and OT appointments. He sees a truck and starts that arm a pumpin'. He gets so upset when they don't honk so I have to respond that they didn't see him or they were busy or there are too many cars and he might scare someone. But when one honks his face lights up.

So thanks again!

His first tattoo

His Aunt Sam gave him a tattoo today. Doesn't he look so manly?! LOL

He can't wait to show it to Mrs. Kim tomorrow at his OT appointment. He's quite proud of it. Then when I said if she scratched at it that it would rub off...he replied with "get another one" hehe

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! What a wonderful day it was.

Joe and LJ took me out to lunch at chili's and then to the mall to look for some new summer shirts. Joe and LJ went off to look around the mall while I shopped in total peace! It was so nice. I found 2 super cute tops and then we grabbed a smoothie. Pina Colada..yummy!
After we got home LJ and I went to Wally World (as LJ so deems it) to pick up a few things and I lucked up and found 3 more shirts and pair of capris! Then I went to get the girls and they gave me my gift from them. A bracelet that I absolutely love and a roll of Rolos (with a few missing...Alyssa needed a taste she said) It was so sweet. The ex gave them $5 to buy something for me and they picked it out themselves. I love my kids.
After we got home I got supper going and me and the kids went out to wash my car (it was looooong overdue). Trinity wasn't too interested in getting wet but Alyssa geared up in her swimsuit and LJ didn't waste any time diving into the suds and helping wash the car. It's squeaky clean now and they had a blast.

I really enjoyed my day! Too bad it's coming to an end and it's back to reality tomorrow. lol
