What up, dawgs?

I've been terrible at reading all my favorite blogs lately and you know I've been terrible at keeping this place updated. I thought I'd do a bullet post to catch you up on the goings on in my life.

Yes, I actually have done more than watch American Idol lately. I know it doesn't seem so, but it's true. However, I must leave my last comments about the show and then I'll be done until next year. I thought the David showdown was great and I also thought Archie out-sang (sung?) Cookie by a slight margin. No big deal as I liked them both. The finale show was the best finale ever since the show started 7 years ago. I was fine with Cookie winning. Michael Johns is still one hot and scrumptious Aussie who sang better in the finale than just about any of the others. Jason was also quite swoonalicious singing 'Hallelujah' again.
Yes, I AM going to the American Idol concert. Thanks for asking. Braelyn and I will be heading to Conseco Fieldhouse on July 22nd to breathe the same air as Michael Johns. Braelyn wants to touch the idols. I did explain to her that while that is a WONDERFUL idea, it won't happen. Though, if MJ sings 'It's All Wrong, But It's All Right' I may just storm the stage. Getting arrested in the presence of my 6 year old is probably not a good idea.
Mother's Day was nice and my kids and husband showered me with cards and gifts. If you squint at the photo you will see 2 kinds of perfume, including the ORIGINAL Liz Caliborne in the triangle bottle!! Go 80s! Also, I got a picture frame, a $50 gift card for Books-a-Million, a flower, flower seeds, a mini wind chime and plenty of cards. My family loves me.

Work's been pretty busy as usual. We are now more accustomed to busy days so that when we have a nice 'normal' day, we are so surprised and thankful we don't know what to do with ourselves. There is someone out on medical leave now, too, which makes things a little more crazy. I worked last Saturday, got called in for 4 hours on Sunday and now I get to work again this Saturday. Fun.
The last day of school for Braelyn and Brianna was yesterday. Come August, I will have a kindergartener, a 2nd grader and a Senior. I always always always take a photo of my kids on the first and last days of school. Except this year. I didn't even think about taking the last day photos. I suck.
We had a pretty busy Memorial weekend. My dad's birthday was on the 24th so the kids and I shopped for his gifts then took them over there. We got him a bunch of outdoorsy things for his yard and deck and such.
We also played putt-putt over the weekend. It was the first time that Jameson and Braelyn have ever played and they loved it!

We also went to a small carnival that was going on in the park. We met up with Brianna and Jeremy and let the kids ride a few rides. Carnies are weird. That's all I'm sayin'.

And that is a short(?) run down of some things we've done in the last couple of weeks. What's coming up? A re-painting of the bathroom, marching band stuff, new bikes and who knows what else. I'll keep you posted.
PS Weight loss? Don't ask.

Don't ask, don't tell? Hmmmm.
That looks like a great putt-putt course! I can't tell you the last time I played.
Well, have a great week-end my queen.
