Well, today is Robbie's birthday and we are headed to Branson this afternoon. Yay!!

Today is also Jace's birthday! Happy Birthday Jace!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!

I need to get moving and clean out the car, pack it, set up the TomTom and fill up before we pick up the boys from school. Since I am the one driving we WILL be waiting until after 2pm to get them so it counts as a day. ;) Plus, Robbie has state testing this morning so no early outs today.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Kim, I hope you have a wonderful time in Branson! Happy Birthday to Robbie and Jace!!!

Tawnya, I'd LOVE a day to lay around and read. Last night Hannah and I went to B & N and she had her nook with her. I didn't know that if you are in the store, you can read a book on the nook for an hour for free. So I read one of the books that Kim recommended about the White House Chef, but after an hour, my eyes were totally bugging! I really don't like reading on the nook at all. I'll stick to the real thing.

I don't have much going on tonight either. I do have some cleaning but I doubt I'll do it. I'm lazy today!! I do need to hit the grocery for a few things because I need to make a cold veggie pizza for work tomorrow. http://www.pamperedchef.com/recipe_search/recipe.jsp?id=9658

Tomorrow night, Brian is off work and Mike Posner is in town and is doing a free concert, so I think we're going to take the kids to that after we go out for dinner. Then "Sixteen Candles" is playing downtown- close to campus- and the movie starts at 10, so I think we're going to go watch that. Tickets are only like $5, so cheap. Plus I have coupons for dinner too so should be a nice cheap date night.

Otherwise, the only other thing I have to do is I need to go see about pricing a drafting table for my niece. She is really into art and I think that would be great for her. But I have no idea what they cost, so I want to go check into it as they might be out of my price range.

Hope you enjoyed your day Tawnya. You don't have many days that you can just relax. Glad you are enjoying your book.

Hey Chris, hope you enjoyed your date night :-)

A drafting table sounds interesting. Your niece is lucky to have such a thoughtful auntie :-)

It has been another busy day. I am just about ready to head to bed. Well, I checked my email this morning before work and realized my pedicure is for tomorrow. That is a good thing :-) Was a brutal day at work. Everyone was struggling with one thing or another. I got off around 1:30 - so yeah, I was late again. Oh well...two more days.

After work I went to Best Buy but they didn't have Hart to Hart, however I did get season one of Magnum PI...I think Chloe used to like that show. I still need to pick up one more thing - think I'll try for Michaels tomorrow.

When I got home, I emptied the van, stowed all the stowable seats and gave it a good vacuum and wash down. Then I got the seats configured again. WoW! It really needed it. Took ages but it looks so much better now.

I still have a few things on my to do list before we leave. Tomorrow I need to pay bills and I need to put together a book for Abby and Vicki for while we are away. I must say, I am feeling better about leaving Chloe now that the nasty neighbor has be evicted. So far so good with the one left behind. His little girl has taken a real shine to Chloe and Indy. Unfortunately, Chloe is starting to feel overwhelmed by her.

Have a good night!

Mary, it sounds like you have been really productive. I hope your trip goes well.

Hannah sometimes gets overwhelmed at our neighbor kids too. When they ring the door bell repeatedly, well, she doesn't take it all that well;)
