Wow, I happened upon Katie blog today and got a mega blast from the past! I used to love this show!! It came on in the mornings when I was getting ready for school. OMG, I even had the earrings!
What do you daydream about? Is it something far-fetched, or something that might actually happen?

Hmm, I daydream about serenity. Quiet time and relaxing. Having a garden tub that I can fill up with near scalding water and bubbles and sinking down into it, staying until the water is cold and my book is finished. Hey, it could happen. :)
hehe
I did get my hair cut last week, Friday to be exact. I told her I wanted it dusting my shoulders, thinking it would be about three inches or so. Wow, who knew I had so much hair? Five inches later, I WAS NO LONGER FRUMPY! I call what I had going on "mountain woman hair". Where you just grow your hair out long for the main purpose of having long hair. Long hair is not very conducive to natural blonde, fine strands. Makes you look limp and blah. SO, I am proud to report that I HAVE BIG HAIR AGAIN!! My beloved deceased southern matriarchs may not go back to resting peacefully.
I had a great mother's day. The kids did the sweetest things and I'm trying to scan them now.
And, armed with my bachelors degree in Home Economics, my baby thinks I make the best hot dogs in the whole world! ~grins~ take THAT Martha Stewart!
This is what my little Katy did for me.
My sister in law, Stacey, and I went out on Mother's day. Goodness, where all did we go? Lord I have no idea, we were all over the place and just a yapping away the entire time. I didn't realize how long it had been since I had actually participated in one on one conversation with a friend for more than a few minutes. We decided it was likely last December when she and I got up at four a.m. to go Christmas Shopping and found ourselves at the Steak and Shake eating greasy burgers by nine.
I got a new tennis racquet this weekend. OMG I love it! The grip is fabulous!!! I'm having issues with actually being able to grip with my right hand, iron man I am not. So, this should help. Sucks to get old. This is a mixture of carpel tunnel and arthritis - which runs rampant in my family. Just don't look for a firm handshake from me :P.I've lined up two tennis partners, from the good old days of my avid (albeit pathetic) tennis passion. Hopefully, they are still as bad of players as we all were back then. No fun playing with someone who does it well! I did take tennis in college, so I know how to keep score at least. "Love means nothing", first lesson our teacher taught us. lol.
Tried a few new recipes this weekend, but it was mostly very down home southern food and I'm trying to decide if y'all would read them or think we're all freakier than you already do!
May post them later!
I SLEPT LAST NIGHT! From eleven thirty til about six this morning, I SLEPT! Wow. I love Unisom. Hopefully, I'll take it another few nights and maybe get back into a sleep pattern. There is just too much going on right now to be able to actually shut my brain down long enough to fall asleep to begin with. Thank you to everyone who sent comments on my insomnia. It is something I deal with regularly but then again, I have weeks where I sleep very well. It just crops up when you least expect it.
Whew, I need more coffee!!!
I sure as heck do! So I am the one behind the camera. I guess it would help if my kids knew I wasn't a vampire though. Here it is, a pic I took today. Gonna try to do one every now and then.
I bet i'll look better if i make it teeny tiny.......
I ran across this comic and got such a kick out of the reality behind it!
This is my wonderful little boy - who is not so little anymore. Yesterday, he left a comment on my blog that I needed to have more videos so people will have more fun there, so I'll be posting one after this. His birthday is July sixth and he has been planning his party since Christmas. He is EXTREMELY smart, does great in school, all around nice person, compassionate, and helps me so very much with his little sister. I don't know what I'd do without my little guy. OOH look! A new freckle!!
It all starts with that one thought
I’m not going to get to sleep tonight
From there it grows slowly but substantially with each passing moment
I wonder what time it is. Its one a.m. If I fall asleep by one thirty, I can still get four or four and a half hours in. Okay, so that will be enough, I’ll just try to be asleep by one thirty. God I hope I can fall asleep. I don’t think I’m going to sleep tonight
You lay
there quietly, doing everything right. Eyes closed, body relaxed.
Is the air
conditioner on? Maybe if it were cooler, the heat could be what is keeping me
up. God, I hope I fall asleep! I wonder how much time I have left until one
thirty. I hate to open my eyes because that might make me more awake. But what
if its like, 1:05 and I’m worrying over nothing. Then again, it could be two
a.m. and then I’d have…three and a half to four hours of sleep time left. That isn’t
that bad, I can get by on that I guess, long as I get at least that much.
~looks up to the clock~ Crap. Two a.m.. I’ve never really done much on three
hours sleep. Okay, if I can just get to sleep by three, then I’d have two and a
half to three hours of sleep. Maybe I could take a nap at some point. No, I
have to be at school tomorrow first thing. I will be home between twelve
fifteen and two though, I could take a nap then. Ugh, what if I slept too
deeply though and slept right past time to watch for the bus? The driver won’t
let him off unless he sees me out there to know I’m home. Okay, if I set my
cell phone on an hour I could set the oven timer on an hour and a half as a
backup and maybe call Mama, she could call me after an hour and a half too,
just to make sure. Yeah, but every time I ask mama to do that she forgets.
Wonder what time it is now. I hate to look, that might make me more awake. I’ll
just lay here and try not to think for a while and then I’m sure I’ll fall
asleep.
Oh god, did
I forget something? I feel like I forgot something. What all have I got to do
tomorrow, if I just go down the list and make sure I didn’t forget something
then my mind will be at ease and I can sleep. I really should have taken a
sleeping pill, that would have helped me and I would have been dead asleep by
now. Tomorrow would have been so much better if I had just of taken a sleeping
pill. Its too late now though, If I take one I’ll be groggy in the morning. Ugh,
I could have at least taken half earlier. Tomorrow, I need to take a whole
Unisom by Ten P.M. no matter what. I bet I’ll be sound asleep this time
tomorrow. Okay, tomorrow, get up at five thirty, make coffee, do my makeup
before the kids get up, who am I meeting at the school again? Oh yes, you know
she might not need me the whole day but I have to be back there at eleven
anyway so might as well stay….I wonder what time it is….maybe its not as close
to three a.m. as if feels like…..I hate to look because that will get me woke
up more.
~sighs~ I'm not going to sleep tonight...
