Nashville or bust babeee

I am leaving town..blowing this pop stand.....i'm a basket of nerves..flying alone (still hate to fly- 17 hrs to china one way did NOT cure me of that) but it's girls weekend and my peeps and me....sigh how could I not go? Plus it's easy to cave and buy a NON-refundable ticket quickly a few months ago and push it out of my mind. Now it's looming.

I've gotten the token gifts for Chels' kids....made my gifts for the girls..and have to pack. I took the easy way out for the kids...bought A some stuff now and will pull it out with my luggage on sun LOL

And have to find stuff for K and M. Otherwise I am sure they'll all be fine..and two nights with NO kids..yay me. Big dilemma..bring scrap supplies or not? My girlfriends are not
scrapping..should I bother? I hope to figure that one out soon because if I have down time I love to scrap! And I love to scrap and can do it at a group gathering no problem :)

So thoughts?

I'm a freak

Your Stripper Song Is

Super Freak by Rick James "That girl is pretty wild now The girl's a super freak The kind of girl you read about In new-wave magazine" Freaky? Yes. But you're also pretty darn funny.

What Song Should You Strip To?

thank heavens it's OVER

I am not an easter fan..just ain't...but here are my kids.... :) They've been getting on my nerves lately.....hopefully this too shall pass....

Anyway we had a low key event at my mom's..she invited the outlaws....she's nicer than I am..we had ham and potatoes and all the fixings and we had a poker tournament while the kids played bibleopoly with my FIL....and I almost won....we (Nicole and I split the winnings :) Made Tom mad...we are like that...women...split it, get along, etc Not so cutthroat ;)

1st and last easter egg dyeing

Yep I said it..who the heck thought up this thing? I mean it's bad enough I had no newspaper or wax paper. That should have been a clue to STOP the presses..but with A helping...and then M's friend from next door we've dyed the table red and the chairs a blue. OMG It was a nightmare. I mean seriously. A knocked over the pink dye shortly after we started and I realized that the packing material from Making Memories while waxy on one side was not wax paper..it leaked right onto the table and dyed it a bright pink. So after that and scrubbing for 20 min with 409 M's friend knocks over the green..onto the table, chair and FLOOR. OMG we ran for the cleaner and there is one spot on the table and a lot on the chair from heck that I need to recover anyway.

Here ya go...our reward..again NO more egg dyeing here.

It was a blue, blue day

Tom says it's too dark...LOL but I adore my new fireplace wall...this is opposite that sunny yellow kitchen below in an older post :) And my family room *will* be a creamy yellow in the same yellow family as the kitchen when I decide to paint it. :)

I love paint and how it makes me feel....M wants a navy blue on his bedroom wall (not! This one required a dark primer..ugh) and K wants polka dots. Oh man they crack me up. Looks nice next to our new IKEA shelving unit..need another to balance poor mitzi )

how much is that doggy in the....

don't ask...I am so, so annoyed....mind you the big sister was to be
watching little Miss THANG while I was working in the office...right around the corner from her.
I turned around and I swear big sis was gone for 1 second...and I heard big brother go - uh oh...she drew with crayon on your wall. We've been having issues lately...any ideas on how to stop it?? Anyway when I looked it was a perfectly drawn dog of all things...I mean better than the other two could draw....so now dilemma....mad because she used my WALL or freak out because she has serious talent? It beats the scribbling she's done on walls, doors and dressers.....after this she drew a fish and grass on my bedroom wall..and when I examined my mom's oil painting (one my mom painted btw) I noticed that the duck pond that A's so fond of had a new inhabitant...a large non-scale duck..but a freaking duck nonetheless. SIGH We erased that one off..but this - um found out the hard way that magic eraser does NOT work on builder's paint that is flat. :( Oh well my little artiste....

Little Brothers Rock!

I've neglected my little blog. Sniff sniff..but I am back with a few posts :) My brother Tom is so nice....I've been sick - with a sinus infection/fever/bronchitis for like 2 months...from Feb 12th...finally went back to the doctor a 2nd time and got more antibiotics. BUT I had Wicked tickets right? I had gotten them as a surprise for K's 11th bday...and sure 'nough I am sick as can be. I was so dizzy....and not feeling well.....

Anyway Tom volunteered to take her...of course they were like 4th row $80 tickets....but she had a great time withUncle T lavishing her with attention and we rescheduled our girls' night out to when I was feeling better. Thanks Tom...you're a peach.

And he'd shoot me if I didn't mention it..but if you are looking for property he's a real estate agent and is a good guy too...call him at 773-616-6488 ;) Public service announcement off!

It's my party and I'll sleep if I want to

Yep she slept..I should have known and had her party at midnight when she's usually awake..she slept while the girls ran around screaming around her. We took few pics....I was SO tired and Mom didn't make it - but we visited her later that day.

Notice in our 2nd pic she has NO desire to be doing her candles and cake? Mikey and I blew out the candles..what a crabby gus. :) I'm very lucky that a good customer Scrapnsmile (Laura) is driving in from MI this weekend to help me pack kits. There might be a chance that I catch up after all ;) Tomorrow it's scrap day here..I'm not getting up til I scrap at least 2-3 pages :)
Wish me luck.
