Hi, all! Busy day today. Already made muffins (banana, Desiree, yum) and got Jen off to her soccer game. Gotta get Nik and Ian dressed for the day. The ILs are coming up today to sit so dh and I can shop for various things. Yay! The kitchen is a MESS as I tweaked the muffin recipe (added cinnamon, cinnamon chips and a streussel topping) and ended up with with melted butter everywhere, so I gotta get that cleaned up, get a shower myself, make beds, clean bathroom, all before I leave at 10:30. I better get on it!!!

mmmmm cinnamon streussel... good idea!

Good Morning everyone! I woke up to an empty bed this morning :o( Kyle left for work early while I was still asleep, and is going to be home sometime before lunch. He has a $25 gift card to Chili's (from work), so I'm going to convince him we need to go out as soon as he gets home LOL. We need to go shopping today too.

Hope everyone has a wonderful & blessed day today!

oooohhhh...Chilis! Mmmm. Maybe we'll eat there today. I have a gift card to there, too except I bought it, so I don't think it counts! We have a program at Nikki's school where you buy gift cards and a portion of what you pay goes to the PTO. It's a great program because you aren't spending any extra money, you just buy gift certificates to places you're going to go anyway. It's called Great Lakes Scrips. Fantastic way to raise money without pimping your kids. BTW, speaking of kid pimping, dd's school raised $11,000 for the American Cancer Society!!! Their goal was $4,000! Holy Cow, I was irritated at the beginning, but I feel a little proud after it's over. Is that right?

Wow - those muffins sound wonderful! Today is a very exciting day for me because I'm going to the salon to get my hair done! Finally after all these months! I never thought I would be so excited to go and sit in a chair for 2 hours but it sounds like heaven and I can't wait!

Morning! I have already made baked bananas for breakfast, with the girls. DH and the girls made beer (a hobby of his - makes wine and beer). I dusted and took a shower. DH and Katie took off to shop for Mother's Day and Molly and I will finish up around here. IL's are coming for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day and MIL's bday (May 11th). I'm making a meal and dessert from one of my new Rachael Ray cookbooks dh gave me for my bday. Tomorrow, nothing much big planned for Mother's Day. Supposed to rain, so I really just want to sit around and read the paper. DH is making dinner.

Have a great day, gals!!
Hugs,
Wendy

Erin, my girls school does Scrips also. It is also nice to get gifts that way, too. Where do you live, by the way? I'm in Wisconsin....

Enjoy - there is nothing better than getting pampered. And, to be all by yourself. You have another grown-up to talk to also. Let us know how it went....

Hello and good afternoon ladies. Glad its Saturday.

I am finally doing better. Got what Dalton had and was vomiting and diarhhea for 2 days. Had to be put on meds to help since I could not keep anyhting down. Right now I am just drained and tired.

Dalton seems to be better. Here and there he complains about his tummy, but no throwing up. He does have yellow poop, whats that about??

Chris was suppose to come home last night but decided to stay on the boat till next Friday. UGH. I was very upset that he chose the boat and not coming home to take care of us, who are sick. But the good side is, he will be here for the baby, I hope.
