TGIF!!!

Well, didn't get the office/craft room cleaned out...maybe this weekend?? I've officially decided we aren't going to the birthday party tomorrow. I plan to get her a gift and have Sydni take it over to her though. I already had this painting thing planned and I'm going with it.

Not sure what other plans we'll have....if they involve being outside, it will have to be in water...if you haven't heard me mention, it's HOT here!!! Jeremy is playing golf Sunday morning and I'm not sure what plans we have for the rest of the day. I really need to comb my house and find some more stuff to ebay so I can make some more $$ for GBR :)

Sydni was SO excited this morning! At their daycare, they do good behavior field trips, and of course, she gets to go everytime :) They were going to the park and then to a local camp to use their swimming pool. We packed her lunch and she told me I had to write her a "note" to put in her sack...it was TOO cute :)

Dylan is super sad that he doesn't get to go though :( I told him that he will next year, he just has to get a little bit bigger. Sydni of course, replies to him that, "Sorry Dylan, that's just the way God made it, I was born first." LOL!!!

Is it Friday yet??

So we had an awesome 4th, I could have used ONE more day, but that's always the case :) The kids had a blast at the gathering that we went to...lots of fireworks and some yummy food! It is so flippin hot here that the only place you can stand to be outside is in water. I can't wait to get our pool next year! I will NEVER leave home! lol

I've been reorganizing the kid's closets and drawers trying to see what they need for fall/winter...even though that is FAR away for us Texans!!! Still, I want to be prepared. The way it works here is that if you wait until it gets cold, there is NOTHING left to be had!!

I've got big plans to paint Dylan's room this weekend, FINALLY! I've had the paint for like 3 months now :( He's so excited about it too, it's too cute :) My mom is coming to help me, so that will be fun! He has a t-ball game on Sat morning, and then they were invited to a pool b-day party after that. I'm struggling on whether or not to take them. It's for one of our neighbors that Jeremy nor I really like the parents :( They are rude and lazy! They NEVER watch their kids, always send them outside when we are (which is a lot)...their dog poops in our yard, they know it and do nothing to stop it :( The dad doesn't work, the kids go to daycare and the mom works as a nurse at a hospital 1.5 hrs away...WEIRD! Their yard looks like total ASS....dh gets so pissed about that...I mean, the dad doesn't work, you would think he could at least keep the yard looking nice. *sigh* That was a LOT of info about our neighbors, huh?? LOL Anyway, decision is still in the air as to whether we will take the kids to the party or not.

Jeremy and I started Weight Watchers on Monday. I'm on day 4 and have lost almost 2 lbs already!! I've done the program successfully before, so I know it works. I've had SUCH a hard time getting motivated and I really need to do this. My goal is 25 lbs. I think Jeremy is mainly doing it to help me, but he wants to lose about 15 himself. He'll probably lose it all in one week!!

I've been thinking about sewing, just haven't gotten in there to do anything. I've got some Halloween material that I was going to make a custom out of...I need to get started on it in hopes of actually having it done by then....plus, I've had this fabric since LAST year...

I really need to clean out the office/craft room too. Maybe tonight?? Or maybe not ;p

Long time, no update??

Let's see, where do I start? It doesn't seem like we've done a lot the past couple of weeks, however, they have FLOWN by!! Sydni has been sick with a cough for the past week and a half, poor thing!! Last weekend, she ran fever pretty much all weekend, so we didn't leave the house. I took her to the doc on Monday of last week, she just has something viral...UGH! Anyway, she's fine now except for this dang cough that will NOT go away!!

Dylan had his 3rd t-ball game on Saturday and he is just TOO stinking cute!!! You can tell he really loves it and is totally focused. I'm a little shocked actually! Saturday afternoon/evening, we went to my aunt's house for a fish fry. It was SO good and we had a lot of fun. My whole family was there so the kids got to play with cousins and I got to visit...good times!! Sunday, we did a whole lotta nothing! Sydni was kind of laying around and I knew she didn't need to be out getting hot and sweaty, so I just did some things in the house...plus it rained some.

Work has been crazy busy! 4th of July is the biggest holiday for us, so employees are over-worked and running around like freaks. I'm even parking myself in a Wal-Mart on Thursday and plan to help out with stocking shelves, etc. It won't be much, but I know they appreciate all the help they can get at this point. I'm sure we'll have some hot ads that will make things even crazier!

Oh, weekend before last Jeremy and I went looking at trucks. We have been talking about getting him something else for a few months now. He had an 01 Ford F150 extended cab 4x4 that had close to 180k miles on it. We have been SO lucky that nothing has gone wrong and it has been a GREAT truck. His dad was interested in buying it from us when the time came. Well, right now Ford is offering their employee pricing PLUS rebates (awesome deal), so Tuesday he bought a new truck!! It's SOOOOO nice! It's a dark blue Ford F150 crew cab (4 doors) 4x4. He is in heaven!!!

My mom is picking the kids up on Thursday afternoon and they are spending the night with her. We'll go to her house on Friday after I sleep late ;)

I'm going to *try* to be better about updating! If Jenn can do it with 6 kids, SURELY I can, right???
