I need help!

Ok so I haven't blogged in forever, but I need some help changing the look of this page....Valinda Help Me!!!!

So sorry it hasn't changed from the autumn look, maybe next week it will look better! I am going to attempt to add a picture from the Prosper State Championship game. It is of Ross and his friend Derek, screaming their heads off! We won the game and it was such a blast sitting behind the band!!!! What did you say? Oh my ears are still ringing!

Yeah, found some great jeans!!!!

Call me crazy, but with all the yucky drama in my life I needed to share something fun! I found a great pair of jeans! I have the hardest time finding jeans that I like, and yesterday I had a few moments to run into Kohls and look for jeans. The last time I looked for jeans there I brought in about 7 pairs and nothing looked good. Last night I brought in one pair and a few tops. And much to my surprise.....the jeans fit and might I say I think I look good in them!!! I will probably wear them every day this next week...well at least I think I am wearing them to church tomorrow for sure and definately on my birthday.....which is next Sunday the 16th!!!! The big 40! I am not excited about getting older, but I am excited about my new jeans!

I am a bad bad blogger!!!!

See how long it takes me to blog again!!!! Sorry for not blogging much, I have gotten too busy and so now I will take some time to update ya'll on the exciting happenings in my life!!! Most of you know about Ross and his back and forth to the doctor with the stomach ache, well after a fun visit to the ER last month, Upper GI, and countless doctor appointments, he finally had his mysterious stomach problems solved....he had his gallbladder taken out!!! Yes an 8 yr. old getting a surgery most women have after bearing children. I am anxious to hear what the pathology report says about his yucky gallbladder. He was a trooper through it all and then just as we were on our way home from the hospital, just Ross and myself in the van, some lady who is driving behind me on 75 rams into me probably going 55 miles an hour!!!!! Ooooo I can't get the image out of my head. All I could think about is "Seriously, we just got out of the hospital!!!". Poor Ross was so upset. We are fine, just a little sore, nothing the chiropractor can't fix. On the other hand my van, please dear Jesus, better be totalled! It was banged up pretty badly, to the point that gas and oil were leaking out of it and the whole left passenger door was jacked up and off kilter(is that a word). I needed a newer vehicle, but really didn't want this to happen to get one!!!

Well I will try to blog more often, my friends are so good about it. Maybe with my 40th birthday coming up on November 16th I will have something good to blog about, besides the fact that most of my friends are 5-10 years younger than me!!!!! Geez, this town is full of too many young people!!! I do love living here though!!!!

Need some serious caffeine!!!

Today was one of those crazy whirlwind days. I had to drive to timbucktoo (actually I think it was Mesquite) to get Rose her 10,000th pair of pointe shoes, drop a catalog off in Parker then head home praying that UPS dropped a package off that I needed desperately last week! I was pretty tired already and after having a stressful afternoon driving around, the kids were asking me 50 million questions and I had to hurry up and get to the post office by 4:15 to overnight some catalogs! Whew I made it in time, got my last errands done then had to get home help with homework and drive Rose to rehearsal by 5:45. I was about to fall asleep driving so I decided to stop at Target and get a Starbucks drink with serious amounts of caffiene in it. I tell you what, when I got out of my car and headed into Target I felt like I had lead in my feet and I just wanted to take a quick nap on the asphalt. Have you ever felt like that? It was freaky, so needless to say I walked as quickly as I could over to the Starbucks and asked the girl for a good pick me up, oh yeah got a triple shot of espresso with half-n-half and two packets of Splenda!!!!! I am good to go! Sometimes you just have to have some serious caffeine to make it through the next few hours of the day!!!

Please....answer your phone!!!

Ok, so why do we all have cell phones? I was at a jewelry show tonight and it was one of those crazy nights when Rose had to be picked up at 6:45, Darrin and Ross were at Football practice until 7:30 and Sarah had to be picked up from gymnastics at 8pm. I told the girls that Darrin would be late getting them, but just know he is not going to leave you stranded. Rose, bless her heart had to wait an hour for him and Sarah had to wait about 15 mins. or so. In the mean time Rose call's my phone, while I am in the middle of the jewelry show, she leaves no message, no text, nothing! So I, being the paranoid mother, try to call her back immediately......no answer. So I text....no text back! Then I call Darrin about 10 times.......NO ANSWER!!! Why do we have cell phones?!?! When you really need them to answer the phone, they don't! Thankfully everyone was fine, I got home and asked what's the deal no one answers their phone, the phone's are dead!!! (And I have the only blackberry charger in my car....ooops!) Ok, so the funny thing is that not only did they not call me back, but I see that they are eating very OLD left overs!!! If they would have called I could have told them what to eat! Yikes, 1 week old pasta and sauce :(! If anyone wakes up with a belly ache, Darrin is cleaning the mess!

Yippee! I am now a blogger!

Wow, I am now one of the bloggers in this world thanks to my awesome friend Valinda! She rocks with all the cool things you can do with blogging and digital scapbooking, something I can not do with out lots of help. So thank you, thank you Valinda. I hope this will prove to be a great way to keep in touch with old and new friends, of course I have to figure out how to do that myself also!
So now what do I do? Ramble about my day, my life, what? I think I am going to have to read some of my friends blogs to see what really should be mentioned on the blog site.
