(LOL--that graphic is hilarious!)


Hey ladies!! How goes it? Grab your cuppa Joe or tea (or water) and check in with us. What's on your agenda for the day? Are you mommy shuffling (my word for taxi'ing the kids around)? Let us know what you are up to.

He's talked a few times about an army buddy of his that used to have his mom come to base about once a month and make jambalaya for all the guys and how I need to learn to make it (never going to happen though).

Morning Ladies - Trying to get motivated today. I had issues with Evan again this morning (though not nearly what it was yesterday) and dh is mad 'cause he's sick of listening to us fight. I'm sorry but when the kids won't do his homework and his idea of brushing his teeth is to sit there with the electric toothbrush in the same place for 30 seconds, I'm going to get upset. Especially when he gives me attitude when I correct him. Contrary to his belief, I did not "yell" I simply corrected him... So now they're both pissed at me. Oh well, someone's got to get the kid to act responsibly.

I had a piano lesson this morning and I started something new so it was really fun. Nothing to be frustrated or upset with myself about. :)

Tonight both kids have swim practice and Evan should spend a little time on some spelling words. He is in the ALL SCHOOL Spelling Bee tomorrow afternoon. Got my fingers crossed for him! :) I'm not expecting too much but I'm proud he made it that far. I'm working hard at finding good things about him these days. He's having listening issues (read won't do what he's told) and throwing fits and being disrespectful when we call him on it.

I need to finish laundry and figure out what the heck is for dinner tonight. I usually plan out a week's worth of meals and then do my shopping around that. Somehow this week that didn't happen and I'm spending much more money at the grocery store because of it! :( Think I'll get a menu put together this afternoon and then do the shopping.

Congrats Evan for making the ALL SCHOOL Spelling Bee!


A kid after my own heart. I went all the way to state when I was in Jr. High.

Thanks! Wow, I'm impressed you made it to the state bee. I'm okay at spelling but it's not my forte. I really like spell check. :) I use the right form of a word, just not always the correct spelling. It's the double letters and endings that catch me! :)

P.S. Add me to the list of your siggie admirers! Beautiful!!!

Hi Nicole,


Love your siggy picture, you're gorgeous :)


It was a work/school day but with a two hour delay due to yesterday's ice storm.
