Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Everyone has been screaming about PR recently. I don’t understand enough about it to really know what to ask or what to think. As a blogger–PR is of very little consequence to me. I’m not really writing a blog for the masses so I’ve been quite happy with just my own little [...]
She’s Done!!
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Blake’s dentist appointment is over and honestly–it went really well. They are going to pull her upper front tooth on her next appointment–and then all is well. She was amazing through her entire cleaning–the x-rays bothered her a bit–but they bothered me a bit too–so that wasn’t too surprising. Normally the dentist [...]
She’s Here!!
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007My mom is here! She made it in about 9 pm last night–and I have to say–for the first time since we moved–I missed the old house! It was only about 10 minutes from O’Hare, and now we live about 30! I timed it perfectly to get there as she got to [...]
Bad Dentist!!
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Well, not really a bad dentist–but I do in fact, have to have a root canal. They cost around $474 after insurance! Are they nuts? I have four kids with birthdays and Christmas between now and January 1st! There is no money left over for such frivolities as teeth!
Turns out that [...]
Menu!!
Monday, October 22nd, 2007We have worked out the details for Barrett’s party. We are going with a “Football” theme, and it starts when the Bears game ends next Sunday. My husband is going to be cooking all things “Tail Gate” party oriented. Burgers, Dogs, Sausage, Chili–you name it–we are set!
I do need to go [...]
My Momma!!
Monday, October 22nd, 2007My momma flies in tomorrow evening. I’m so excited–the kids are too. They kept asking me if they would get to see her the minute they got off of the school bus. Of course, I said yes–and I LIED! I didn’t know I was lying at the time. I honestly thought [...]
Fall Foliage!!
Thursday, October 18th, 2007Yesterday as we were out running errands, I had to stop and take some fall pictures. One area is one of my favorite spots in the fall–but the colors are not as alive as they will be soon. So I’ll have to go back for that one. I did capture some amazing [...]
Argh!!
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007My kids are driving me crazy–again! But today’s misfortune is the fact that they can’t get along to save their lives! Jake beats every body up, Grayson beats the younger two up, Blakelynn beats the baby up–and baby–beats everyone up! Yet, we as parents are supposed to constantly provide things for them. It doesn’t even [...]
Awards Assembly!!
Wednesday, October 17th, 2007Today I sent the boys off to school at 7:40 am. One son knowing I would be seeing him in an hour, one son clueless. Today there was an awards assembly at the boys elementary school, and Grayson was getting an award. He was nominated for the “Student of the Month” and [...]
Ice Cream Ball!!
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007I have figured out Blakelynn’s birthday party! I’m so excited–because it’s so cute, and so easy! We are going to have an “Ice Cream Ball”. We are going to invite the little girls, her cousins, to come dressed in their best ‘ball gowns’ and if they don’t have one–we will have plenty to dress up [...]
