Off like a dirty shirt....

Well this weekend is my yearly trek to Pheonix City to my SU! retreat. I am so stoked. In packing up though I realized just how much stuff I own....and how much I can stand to get rid of. I see a yard sale in my future.

This weekend will be filled with talking and eating and classes...and maybe a little scrapping and stamping thrown in for good measure.

Ohhh...almost forgot...every man's dream has come true.

Fight Like A Girl

Now if they were having cosmos and braiding each other's hair...BD would have season tickets.

Have a nice weekend!!

A Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

That's what I think Spring Break is. A conspiracy by teachers to rally parents to vote them raises....after spending an entire week with your children and having to come up with countless ways to entertian them like a trained monkey....you'd think they deserve more money too!!!

As you guessed the TTs are on spring break this week....I think that we will do a trip to the aquarium...and the zoo...the outlet mall (maybe find some kick butt clearance stuff)....and who knows what else....

well the boys bellow...so I must go....

Way to go Alabama....Good Old Boys Strike Again!!

The Alabama State Legislature used a voice vote to grant themselves a 62% pay raise. Gov. Riley is going to veto it...but it will probably be passed anyway when that veto is overturned. This move has been compared to a smash and grab robbery. I kind of agree with that analogy.

Luckily there has been some press on the issue so it is NOT going unnoticed. There are even plans for a march on Montgomery on Tuesday March 20 at the State House. So anyone who would like to take a stand and say that they are not going to accept this...check out the following links and make a point to be there on Tuesday!!

I hope they get a few thousand people there...but chances are it's not enough time to get that large of a group. Make sure you pass the word to your family and friends....get as many people there as possible and get this shot down!!

Too funny not to post it...

Okay...now I've never been one to post things that are too revealing about my boys...but this was too funny to keep to myself....

Picture this...potty training....sitting on side of tub while TT#2 is attempting his business....

"The pee pee comes out of here (poking himself)"

"Yes, that is your penis"

"It's not a peanut, it makes pee pee!"

"No honey, not a peanut, a penis. That is where your pee comes out and the thing you push down so you don't pee on the floor is called a penis"

*laughing at me* "No mommy, I told you it's NOT A PEANUT!!"

"Yep...not a peanut".

I had to leave the room....two year olds are too cute sometimes...

BTW...we did have a successful trip to the potty today....he even did #2 in the potty!!!! WTG buddy!!!

Let's chalk up the past month....

as a bad dream....we'll just move on from here....it's been too stressfull and too complicated to even post about.....but life is better now.

Today was my best friend's baby shower. She is on boy #3 and not having a good pregnancy...but she looks fabulous!!! She is due in a month and has that wonderful glow about her (she'll tell you it's indigestion). Three of us did the shower for her...I did the invites and the party favors (since I'm known in our group as the "crafty one")...and the other two pretty much did everything else.

We had a great time just the girls. I did the photos (again...I'm the "shutter bug")...but I used the camera that Jen won at Draw Down last weekend...lucky duck...she bought 2 $10 Bingo cards and wins a brand new Rebel XTi with a 2G card and lens kit. She had been eyeing my Rebel 350D....so at least she got a camera that she will use!!! I hope that the photos come out okay for her...I'll have to get copies from her...

We are now going to start the countdown to D-day .... D for Delivery that is!! 4 weeks and counting!!!
