For those of who know me well, know that I’m a reality TV addict! So the other night, I watched Next Food Network Star. I didn’t watch the first season so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But, I’m totally hooked now! I set the DVR to record the entire season. Watching the 2nd episode, I was so shocked to see all the preparation and work that goes into 1 episode of a cooking show. I was also surprised that they tape it live with no stops. If you mess up, oh well, you gotta keep going. Not only do…
Ok, why is it that work weeks creep by, but spring break flies by in the blink of an eye? It’s Wednesday already! Yes, I’m sorry for those of you who work year round and I know I’m lucky to have off when I do. I just can’t help it. I’m dreading going back to work, because for 2 straight weeks the kids will be taking the SAT10 and the ARMT. Yuck! Normally when I have a day off here or there I spend it cleaning, washing, you know all that fun stuff called house work? So I told myself…
Here’s Alex after having his first real haircut at the Barber Shop. He watched his Daddy and big brother get a haircut. When it was his turn, he sat up there. He didn’t utter a sound. He sat still. He was perfect! Drew threw a royal fit the first time he went there. I think having a big brother to watch first helped him know everything was going to be ok.

It’s crazy that my baby is turning 2 on Tuesday! I just can’t believe it. Where HAS the time gone? It seems like just yesterday when he was born. We’re celebrating his birthday next weekend, because Rob’s mom and step dad were out of town this weekend. Tuesday, Drew has his Den meeting, where he’ll get his Bobcat. So we’ll be busy with that on the *big* day!

Hope everyone who celebrates the day is having the most romantic time evah! I’m sitting here figuring out what I’m going to cook for dinner feeling sorry for myself. 🙂 And for Monica, Rob and I don’t celebrate the day basically because he has always hated the day. It’s a commercialized holiday that he used to spend the evening stressing out over the plans that didn’t turn out the way he had planned. We decided that we would celebrate it the last weekend in March or the first weekend in April every year, but we never really do that either.…
My Dad recently came to visit and it was great! Here’s a few pics from that weekend.
Sorry I’ve been MIA, but this past week has been hectic. Friday we had an Auburn Diamond Club banquet. Then, my dad, who I haven’t seen since 2002 came to visit and I was really excited that he was able to come. We enjoyed the beautiful weather by walking around on campus while showing him around. We ate lunch at Chappy’s Deli and dinner at Cock of the Walk. Today we just hung out here and then we made homemade pasta for dinner. The boys really enjoyed seeing him. Alex has never seen him and Drew didn’t remember him. He…
Today’s Drew’s 8th Birthday…. Then, Now, 8 years later!! Who would of thought he’d be such a heart throb! LOL!

Yawn… I’m so tired! The party with the five boys plus mine went pretty well. They enjoyed the surprise, which was an Auburn basketball game. He wasn’t thrilled with that at first, but Drew got to meet some cheerleaders and had his birthday announced during the game. After the game, we came back and they played. We did pizza for dinner and opened presents. They played more, and then we did cupcakes. Through the night, they had some spats. Four of the five kids spent the night, so it made for an interesting evening. We let them watch a couple…
Monday is my older son’s 8th birthday…sheesh!! I can’t believe it. Nothing like waiting to the last minute! So I’ve spent my afternoon calling moms to invite their sons to come over for a party. Not only a party, but a ‘spend the night party’! Yes, I think I’ve gone CRAZY! They’re being dropped off at our house tomorrow before lunch and then, we’re headed to a surprise for Drew. The Moms know, but the boys don’t know because we wanted it to be a surprise. Oh, and did I mention I have a math workshop that I’m required to…
Friday night, Drew said, “Mom, you gotta look in my folder. There’s something important in there!” I asked him to bring it to me and I found an envelope with his full name printed neatly on the front. I opened it up as a large lump found it’s home on my throat. I was pretty nervous with anticipation! Inside were 2 blue sheets of paper. One was a letter from his teacher, Ms. B, which said she would be taking a leave of absence to seek medical treatment and proper recovery. Ms. B had been out quite a bit before…

Hope everyone survived the New Year’s festivities. 😀 I didn’t post yesterday, because I was so bummed about going back to work today. Yesterday, I got off to a *great* start (not following my goals) by having a fish fry. Rob fried out catfish, fries, and hush puppies. Yum! Today I had to make the trek back to work. Not only was I bummed because going back to work is depressing and we’re having to work on a FEDERAL HOLIDAY, but I was going to miss the Auburn Bowl Game. Well, as it turns out we were able to leave…
