Slightly rough day

Well my day started like any other. I got the kids off to school, did some laundry (still doing laundry), visited with my friend, went to the exchange. Think I might get my netbook there. The HP mini Note Netbook model 1035NR is there for $399.- and no tax. The reviews on it were good. Got our cell numbers changed over to the 904 area code. Have to switch it with the schools and such. I have a slight migrain creeping up on me. I'm feeling bloated and irratated...hmmm wonder in the aunt is dropping by. She better be, I don't want/need no damn birthday surprise to end up in another gift 9 months later lol. Deposited some checks into the damn account. Man sometimes I hate Bank Of America...my consignment check they are holding for 7 flipping days @@. UGH pain in the ass. The boys got home and got their home work done, went to the youth center, and Elora played outside with her friends. Let me tell you I could create a sand box in our tub from all the dirt we've washed off that child. I did get to watch my dvr'd shows. I can't stand to have the Dvr too full hahah. Going to go to publix some time this week and order both Elora's and Mark's birthday cakes. I also need to pick up his gift out of layaway this week too...We've decided for Elora's actual birthday day we are giving her our presents all but ONE. We are giving her a bike, helmet, some LPS stuff,& some Hello Kitty stuff. The item we are saving is the hello kitty digi cam so she can take pics of all her little friends at her party. I need to get Caleb some things too and they are having a combined party on the 18th of April I think...I need to get rolling on the invitations for those as well. Well enough rambling...going to take some aleve and lay down!

Spring Break is coming!

I know some Mom's are screaming for the hills when spring break rolls around but I am soooooooooo looking forward to it. Not having to get up and take the kids to school and getting to sleep in just a little bit even if it is till 8-9 am! Friday the boys don't have school for a teacher development day but Elora has school but we have already talked to Ms.Sue and said we won't be going :) Bring on the lazy days!

Nothing major planned since Mark will still have normal working hours. If the weather is nice I do plan on taking them to the park and doing a picnic. Let's cross our fingers it doesn't rain and warms up a tad bit!

Off to the Races

Cub scouts has been a great confidence booster for the boys. We are so glad we got to sign the boys up. This past Saturday, March 21st, 2009 we had our very first Derby race for Cub Scouts. The boys worked hard on their cars with very minimal help from Mom or Dad. Andrew was very proud of his "Dragonfire" truck and Caleb with his race car.

We saw lots of neat derby cars and the boys loved looking at other kids idea's. Caleb raced in the Tiger division and placed 3rd out of the entire pack. Andrew took 1st place in his division which was for the Bears and he also took 2nd place out of all the cars in the entire pack (Tigers, Wolves, Bears, & Weblos). Andrew will be racing his truck in the Big Derby coming up on April 4th, 2009! Wish him lots of luck!

Here are some pics of their cars!

Caleb's race car is the green and red with blue and white stripes


Ready, Set, Go!


Andrew's Dragonfire Truck


Andrew's car is racing now!

Tired Little Princess

Elora hates to nap, it's like pulling teeth on a very hungry tiger...near impossible to get the child to settle down long enough to fall asleep. Leave it to Mr.Percy Perkins to snuggle her into a calm peaceful sleep. Boy does she love that cat lol.


Here Percy is almost asleep too!

Turning 30 wasn't so bad...Or was it?

I must admit I was relatively calm about my birthday this year. The "big" 3-0 lol. I know lots of my friends wanted to stay 29 forever, I guess I am okay or maybe my temper tantrum will come later? Maybe it's shock? Who knows.

Had a good birthday this year. Mark got me a cake that Elora had picked out the design and colors, kids gave me a beautiful card and made me tons of pictures, got my "Twilight" dvd, pre-ordered my Charlaine Harris From Dead to Worse book on paper back that is due to come out next week, ordered some Anya Stamps from the greeting farm, and pre-ordering true blood season one on dvd. Mark and the kids took me out to lunch and we had cake and relaxed. Was a good birthday.

Here's to turning 30!
