Jay Leno

I don't watch it normally but i happened to catch the interview with Sandra Bulluck and continued to watch it... his other guest was Ant... the gay guy that was on Celebrity Fit club... i think he's from another show but I don't know which one... he was soooo stinkin funny. He was saying he's from west hollywood where guys are guys and some girls are guys... then he said if she's got an apple then she's gotta bananna... i was laughing my butt off! The new CFC is starting in July I think... its about celebrities who go on diets and exercise... they're broke up into two teams and compete to see who can lose the most weight.... i'm gonna watch it. Its reality tv... of course i won't miss it :)

Poor Jessica

I just checked the weather for springville/odenville... tomorrow the high is 71 degrees!!! My child is so cold natured... she's gonna freeze! I didn't pack her a long sleeve shirt or a jacket... luckily she has one pair of jeans... oh my... i can't believe I didn't pay attention to the temperatures.. i mean I saw that it was going to rain but did i pack her an umbrella... NO... i'm such a dork! I sent her a sleeping bag but I did pack an extra blanket for her. I hope she has fun... I didn't pay this money for it to rain and ruin her time at camp! They wouldn't let them take any electronic devices... too bad... I could have sent her with a portable dvd player... she would have been very popular... she couldn't even take head phones... yes i undertand the reasons and am actually thankful b/c I think kids need to do more than play gameboys and listen to head phones or whatever. On a field trip this year Jessica came home singing some snoop dog/dawg song... i was like where did you hear that junk????? she said so&so had the cd and we listened to it on the way... i wanted to scream! I remember when I was in youth... they'd go through all of our CD's before we could take them... you'd think they'd do that at a christian school!

Negativity

Well I feel like i've posted a bunch of junk here lately.... I hope that you guys don't get tired of me. I don't want to be the friend that drains the life out of you with all my drama. Sometimes I feel like I unload on my friends and they are always feeling like they are picking up the pieces and putting me back together. I really appreciate the support I've gotten through your comments. I was telling a friend today that I'm the first one to tell someone that its going to work out in God's timing and that HE has it under control.... With most things I can even say that to myself but when something really big comes along then I find myself getting anxious and overwhelmed with fear/worry. I know that God really is in control. But sometimes my mind gets the best of me. Here lately when I'm trying to fall asleep my mind starts racin with all these scenerios (shut up i can't spell). I don't have a peace like I used to. I want that back. My pastor said to me today that its not good to be caught up in all that drama b/c it eats you away piece by piece and pulls you away from the Lord... he's right and I knew that already... but sometimes you have to hear it again and again.

Movie Night

matthew rented a movie tonight b/c we had a free rental .... whoopie!!!! We rented Suspect Zero... kinda crazy. Well right as we start the movie Heather calls my cell phone and Mr. Brock calls the home phone. Heather comes over (which is fine with me) and Mr. B says absolutely nothing important and finally lets matthew go. So the three of us watched this weird movie and towards the end of it I was able to make sense of what was going on. Now Heather has left and Matty is in the bed... i'm all alone!

I have to say this and I'm not trying to earn a 'star' (inside joke hahah heather) but I really want you all to know that I have a wonderful sister in law! You hear all the time (from me and others) about in laws being from H E double Hockey sticks but my sister in law is great.... she's like my new best friend :) I'm glad to know that at family functions I have someone to talk to and outside of family functions i have a great friend. I hope you all have checked out her blog... and I hope that you will all get to know her soon. She's such a sweetheart! I don't mind if she joins in on our movie night anytime!

my goofy husband said he'd eat a jar of Darcy's peas if I'd give him $20!!!! He did it but I was waiting for him to barf!!!!!! He's such a goof!

request

With all this drama going on around me i'm feeling very anxious and overwhelmed. I can feel my heart racin at times. Please pray for us... that we'd do the right thing and all that jazz.

Memorial Day!

Jessica left for camp at 8:30am... I cried... I guess with all the stuff going on right now and me feeling like i have to protect her has finally just overwhelmed me.... I didn't let her see my crying... i waited till i drove off.

Darcy had a Dr's appt at 11am. Can you believe that scheduled her check up on Memorial day... I wasn't paying attention when they did it. anyways... Darcy is 16lbs... 27 inches long! The dr came in and the first thing she said was... is her eye getting worse.

Darcy has had a 'clogged tearduct' since she was born!!!!! Evertime i go to the dr I ask her if there is anything we can do... she says no... it will go away on its own. Its sooo annoying b/c anytime someone see's her that say... is she sick.... does she have pink eye... i'm gettting real tired of explaining it!

Okay so back to the dr. She finally decides to give us some stuff for her eyes... when the dr. looks in her ear she says... she's got some fluid in her ear... it must be where the eye has spread... I wanted to scream! So now she's got some medicine for her eye and ear!

Darcy got 4 shots!!!! Matt was with me... he was a little disturbed when she started screaming b/c of the pain. He grabbed her up and starting loving on her... it was sweet.

After the doctor visit my parents came over. We played cards on the back porch while the charcoal got ready. We grilled Chicken, ribs and corn on the cob.... my mom brought some baked beans and cole slaw... it was yummy. After lunch we played cards again... we were playing spades... teams were mom/me and dad/matt... my dad and mom cannot play on the same teams b/c they get mad at each other. We were having a blast. Matt and I are new to spades but we really like the game. there were some rules that Matt didn't know and he messed up a few times and my dad would get all excited... it was funny though.

My sister and family stopped by on their way back from the beach... they ended up playing cards with us.... we had to move everything inside b/c it was getting cool. We changed games and started playing continental jin?? i haven't played this game since i was jessica's age.... it was matt's first time. We played cards from 1pm till 9:30 pm!!!! finally everyone left and we went to bed!

More drama

I called Jessica's father on Sunday to see if he'd found Jessica's hat.

backwards.... jessica took a hat to her fathers that she had just gotten... but the hat never made it back here... we've called several times asking for this hat but they just brush it off.... her father works right down the road from us... he has to pass our street in order to get to work... all he has to do is put the hat in our mailbox!

He didn't. And to him its no big deal. Well i have to admit I got upset. I told him that I cannot go to his house and look for the hat so its his responsibility to find it and return it or to replace it. I told him that Jessica was going to camp and would be outside all day and she needed a hat... I said I wasn't buying her another one. He said i'll get her a hat the next time she comes over. ---- lets back up... jessica doesn't want to go to her dad's anymore!!! the last time she went i had to pick her up saturday night... the next time she was supposed to go she said she didn't want to go so she didn't! I told him that jessica doesn't want to go to his house anymore.---- back to the conversation. I said (father's name) Jessica doesn't want to go to your house anymore so how are you going to replace her hat. He said FINE, I don't care. And I said thats funny. I just tell you that your daughter doesn't want to come and visit you anymore and your response is fine, you don't care. I guess you really don't care if you ever see her again... well he says "shut the $%#^ up" I said excuse me??? He repeated it... I said no i heard you the first time but you must be mistaken... I said You may talk to your wife that way but you will not talk to me that way.... he said !#$% you... and i hung up!! Well he called back and I was stupid enough to answer it.... he starts telling me how i'm an idiot and all this junk... i tell him i'm not going to listen to all this crap and if he has something intelligent to say that he should say it. He said he knows why jessica doesn't want to visit me... he says i'm telling her all this junk ---- well for those of you who've known me for a while you know that I do not talk about him infront of jessica and you know all the junk he's done---- i tell him, no your wrong... she's a smart girl and she can see for her self that her dad doesn't really care about her. He says that bull and that she never says those things to him and she always tell him that she's scared of me and that I beat her (yeah right... you guys also know better than that) I slipped up and said well if Jessica thinks so highly of you then why has she been asking Matthew to adopt her for the last several months.... this was a newsflash to him! but what is surprising is his reaction... fine, thats fine... i'm tired of putting up with you anyways! i told him that he's never acted like a father and that she's finally realized it. THEN he says that he's gone above and beyond what any other father would have done in his situation... i laughed and said are you kidding me???? then he went on to say how i was a horrible mother and how everyone knows that i'm always trying to push my kids off on everyone else... i told him that he knew that was a lie and i was going to waste me time defending myself to him! well he went on and on and i was really calm... he was the one yelling and saying off the wall junk about how he always hated me and junk... then finally he stopped and said... you cannot have a rational conversation with an irrational person... and i said I agree maybe you should go and call me when you calm down... well off he went again... finally i said... i'm tired of listening to you and i hung up.

I'm back!!!

I'm sorry that I haven't blogged in a few days... ever feel like so much has happened its hard to catch everyone up on all the drama.... well i've had drama and i'll try to share but i'm so over it i'm tired of talking about it!

Lets see where to begin... Friday we went shopping. Right after Heather and I left the house Mr. Brock (matt's dad) and asked Heather where she was b/c she came in and left without telling anyone where she was going --- HELLO... this is supposed to be like her own little apartment... why does she have to tell him her every move?? Besides she wouldn't have to sneak out if Amy didn't go on this big pity party b/c she wasn't hanging out with her!--- Well she tells Mr. B that her and I are going shopping. As soon as she gets off the phone I said Oh poor Matt... he's going to call him and ask him to do something or just bug him to death one. Well I was right b/c he called Matt and pretended he didn't know I was shopping with Heather. They got off the phone and about 30 minutes later he showed up at our back door without an invite! He came in and wanted to talk to Matt b/c he said he felt like there was a division in the family... mostly between me and amy. ----- let me interrupt right here... yes there is division between the two us... some of you know the whole story and others of you do not... amy lied about something very very big ( to say the least ) this something big was going to ruin relationships and she knew it would... but again... it was a lie and she's been called out on it... sorry I cannot share with you what it was about----- Some of this 'division' has to do with the lie that Amy told. Some of it has to do with the fact that she likes to make comments about things that she has no business making. For example, My wonderful brother in law, michael has joined the military. Amy cannot say one good thing about the situation but instead to his wife, heather, she makes comments like... he's killing innocent people... oh this is a good one... they were talking about some country song about a man who comes back from over seas to find his wife has had an affair... amy says to HEATHER that he deserved it b/c he left his wife to go and kill innocent people that he deserves anything bad that happens to him. HELLO!!!

Anyways so Matt's dad comes over here and just starts going on and on about how amy feels like no one likes her and how we all need to handle things in a christian mannor and go to each other about our problems and so forth and so forth.

Saturday morning Mr. B approaches Heather and says that Amy feels like Heather does like her anymore b/c she doesn't hang out with her. Heather tried to explain to Mr. B that Amy suck the life out of her b/c she's always whinning about something and she's always making hurtful comments.

Saturday afternoon Mr. B comes over here to use the weed eater... he doesn't approach me... now he can talk all about me to everyone else but cannot come to me... so I say to him... do you want to talk to me about the 'division' in the family? He just kinda smiles that uncomfortable smile and says yes. so we talked and i told him everythings she's said to stir up all this trash... we talk for hours!!!! He comes back later (after weed eating) and talks to Matthew out on the porch... as soon as I walk out he quits talking... i come back inside. 30 minutes later Matt comes in... mr. b has just spent the last 30 minutes or so talking about ME to my husband!!!!!!! how wrong is that! He's telling Matt all the things that Amy said about me but am I there to defend myself??? Well Matt comes in furious b/c his dad has just preached this spill about going to each other but he hasn't approached me yet but instead can talk to everyone but me about ME!

Matt and I are to the point where we simply do not care if his sister is a part of our lives or not.... we just want all this junk to go away!!!

Something Funny

I forgot to mention this the other day.... when we were at Jessica's award ceremony one of the teachers was talking about her son graduation in 2005 and the class that she was teaching will be graduating in 3005... how ironic. Well everyone started mumbling and laughing but the teacher never realized what she had said... wonder if she thought about that before she said it and still didn't realize that's a thousand years from now. All i could figure is maybe in 2015 her class would be graduating... but not 3005!

It was funny when it was said... maybe it lost its meaning.

Memorial Day Plans

What is everyone doing for Memorial Day? Jessica is leaving for camp at 8am. Darcy has to get her shots at 11am. After that I have no idea. Matt is off... thank God! But the rest of the week he has to work 10 hour days to make up for it. I hope we can come up with something to do... I'd hate to have a long weekend with my hubby and not do something fun. Any suggestions??

Shopping Trip

I've been kinda busy this weekend so I haven't had time to blog. I'm going to have to break it up so you guys won't have to read a novel at one time.

Friday night Heather and I went to the Galleria to do some much needed shopping. We headed straight to Express. She tried on lots of things but we ended up getting a cute orangish spaghetti strap goes down long with some bead work top... which was her favorite purchase of the night. She also got some white capris and a rich blue-green vneck with a jewel at the v - top. We looked at the GAP, SEARS, Bananna Republic and Victoria's Secret.... we stopped to eat so that kinda held us back for bit. She did get a white jacket at the GAP and we spend a lot of money in VS :) Poor Heather... she didn't get any showers before she got married so we needed to fix her up with some sexy things! We ate at the American Cafe in the Mall. We were home around 9:45pm. We (me, heather and Matt) sat around till almost 1am just talking.... it was nice.

so that was my friday.... i'll fill you in on the rest later. AND THERE IS SOME GOOD STUFF TO BE SAID ABOUT SATURDAY

DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA

Okay so wednesday night i had dinner with matt's family. Is was okay... apparently I missed amy complaining that the world viewed single women and married women differently and that is what she's going to write her next paper on... that got started b/c Heather is having a shower and Amy thinks she needs one b/c she's moving out... well this is the 2nd time she's moved out and she was given a bridal shower at chris' church when the got engaged... but she didn't return those gifts. If I would have heard this I would have definitely commented but I was too busy watching darcy.

Afterwards we (me, jessica, darcy, matt adn heather) came back here to watch american idol. I started feeling bad then.

Thursday I stayed on the couch alllllll day long. I was so icky feeling. My sister called me to watch zac... i told her no but after hearing her sob story and knowing that i would suffer if i didn't do it.... i agreed. I skipped CR last night. I really wanted to go but knew I couldn't be up and about full of energy for that long so I skipped. One of my girls in my group was arrested yesterday... i was pretty upset b/c i thought she was actually doing better. I typed her a 4 page letter last night... hopefully I will get to see her soon. This may be her last chance... she may be going to the women's prison.

Lisa called me after the meeting and said it was great... which really made me feel bad for missing it. she said she gave an alter call (we don't do this normally b/c its not that kind of setting but she felt the lord tell her to) well people got saved!!!! rock in roll!!!! Yeah, we tell them about God all the time... he is the reason they can overcome their addictions but we never really preach like that or give alter calls. I kinda gave an alter call one time when lisa was gone... my heart was racin and i wasn't sure if I was really supposed to give it or not... but it was overwhelming and i gave it... one girl came running to the front crying her eyes out... i knew it was the lord and not me.

Okay so this morning... Jessica spent the night with my sister b/c Zac had a game. Jessica's alarm went off at 6:30am!!!! I woke up and turned it off then went back to bed.... at 7am my dad called b/c their water had been turned off. He needed to come take a shower... i got up and set out a towel and wash cloth for him then went back to bed. I heard him come in... man he was loud!!! I could here him going through the drawers in Jessica's bathroom... not sure what he was looking for... finally he was done and came in my room to tell me... he asked where darcy was... i said asleep... he said where... i said her room where else???? so he shut my door and the next thing i heard was her door fly open... if you aren't careful her door will hit the wall cause its uneven... well apparently she was awake and just playing in her crib... but she saw him!!!! so he walks out and then I heard her a few minutes later let out a little cry... just one and then she went right back to sleep - THANK GOD!!!! THEN.... my sister shows up with the kids. I tell them to stay in the living room and watch TV. I ended up crawling out of bed around 9:30 or 10. As soon as Darcy finished her bottle my dad called. He said he needed a huge favor... i felt like screaming!!!!!!! He was at a clients house (he's an appraiser) and he had locked his keys in his car and I had to go to my parents to get the spare then drive all the way out past indian springs to take him the key. I get everyone in the car... remind you i'm still a little icky feeling. I get to my parents house and find two keys but narrowed them down b/c one was tagged green sable and the other was silver... my dad's is silver!! i drive all the way there which my dad had given me a wrong road name but i realized it b/c of the landmark he had also given me... i was soooo proud of myself b/c I found it and in good timing. I drive up and give him the key... he looks at it and says wrong key... i thought he was kidding so i said shut up! he said no really! I had grabbed the WRONG FREAKIN KEY!!!!!!!!! His old sable was silver... the new one is like a murky greenish silvery color... but i really thought i had the right one b/c my mom's car is obviously GREEN it just happens to be a taurus and not a sable! I had to drive him all the way back home and back to indian springs with 3 kids!!!!!

Finally i'm home! Jessica and Zac asked to get in DArcy's pool so i put some more air in it... dumped out the old water, rinsed it out and refilled in... they played in it for 30 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I fed them lunch and Zac is already asking for a snack!!!!!!!! Now they are playing with Darcy in the floor.

Speaking of Darcy... i was on the phone with Crystal and Darcy was in her swing.... i looked over and she was clapping and singing!!!! FIRST TIME to clap!!!!!! it was precious.

WEll i'd better go... gotta keep my eye on the kid O's!

My sinus' are acting up and i'm stuffy but every now and then my nose poors snot!!! YUCK! I knew you guys wanted to know about that snot stuff. My ears are funny feeling and i feel really drugged up... I took another sudafed this morning b/c it seemed to help last night. Jessica's award ceremony was not so long.l.. wait i gotta go... my dad jsut called me to eat china cafe... i'm out!!

Wednesday, May 25, 2005

no drugs for me

my husband gave me a sudafed earlier b/c i'm all stopped up for some reason and keep sneezing... he said to be careful... when i take vitamins it makes me real jittery and sometimes loopy... he said sudafed might make me that way... welll i took ONE of those little red pills and i'm way off. I'm soo stinkin loopy right now.. i'm like in a daze or something... i'm definitely not good on medicine like this... it also makes my heart race which is definitely not good after all the junk i've been through... bu ti'm okay... i think i'm going to bed soon... i have to get up real early for jessica's awards thingy

Memories

I'm a copy cat... I saw this on someone else's blog... but lets play along

what memory sticks out the most about me??? Good, sad, bad, funny, ugly... whatever it is share it with me. Thanks

MY HAIR!

so what do you all think of my hair????? REALLY be honest!!

My day

Today I woke up at 10 am after staying out till after 2 AM!!! I got Darcy and myself dressed... we picked up Jessica and off we went to the Mall with Kelly and Will. We had fun. It was kinda depressing seeing all the things you want but cannot buy. I had to tell jessica a hundred times "WE ARE NOT BUYING ANYTHING!" I was getting a little annoyed.

Tomorrow is Jessica's award ceremony at school. My mom is coming by in the morning to pick up Jessica... Darcy and I are going to wait a bit before we head over there. I know its going to be a long morning.

Friday I'm supposed to go shopping with Heather... she's buying some new clothes b/c her husband TOLD her to go shopping... I wish my husband would tell me to go shopping! I'm very excited about this trip to the mall... she's got a perfect figure and i'm going to have so much fun dressing her up... I'm going to pick out all the things I wish I could wear! Let's back up... she don't dress in rags now... but her hubby wanted her to spend some money on herself while he's gone.. just thought I would clear that up before you guys thought she was clueless in fashion.

well i'm gonna go chill out for a while... gosh i just realized what time it was... i missed the barkers! GEEZ!

i'm on some sinus drugs... my mind is loopy :) love me though

American Idol

I'm not at all disappointed with the results and you shouldn't be either!! Carrie was great. I was talking to someone last night and they made a great point. Out of Reuben and Clay who are we still talking about... CLAY! This person was always saying she spoke to someone close to Bo and that person was saying he didn't want Bo to win b/c the contract was sooooo tight! Those kids sign their lives away practically... I think Bo is going to suceed without the title of American Idol!

my opinion you can agree or disagree :)

mexican

today is my mother in laws b'day. We're supposed to eat dinner tonight at the Mexican place across from Applebee's... speaking of... did you know there was a Hooter's next to applebees? I guess I don't get out much anymore. I'm not looking forward to the event b/c I know I will be on edge the whole time... just waiting for my sister in law to make some stupid insensitive comment so I can go off. She's been saying some pretty tacky things to Heather (michael's wife) and then covering her tracks by saying "oh did that hurt your feelings... i'm sorry" Man its getting old!

okay i have to cut this blog short... Darcy has just woke up and I gotta get her! yeah its 11:11am! She's been down since last night at 8:45pm!

my midnight adventure

In case you didn't notice I'm blogging at 2:19 AM!! I have been thinking for some time about cutting my hair off but cannot afford to go have it done. tonight while in the shower with my hubby I decided I'm gonna ask crystal to cut it for me... well she doesn't want to b/c she's a chicken butt! She said to ask her mommy (this woman does it all)... she agrees so off I went to her house at almost 10pm. I get there and we look at a few magazines to get some ideas. Then we walk over to vicki's house and she wacks off my hair... below is the before picture... we forgot to take and after shot so you'll have to wait till tomorrow! After my hair cut crystal and I ran to walmart to get her mommy a zipper (she's seamtress too or however you spell it) vicki says we can get a candy bar and a coke for going for her... after we left walmart I took crystal up to balantree which is the new section of gigantic house past weatherly... to see my aunts house... then we went back to her mom's. we sat around there and talked for hours... now i'm at home! but after a whole coke and a king size snickers i'm wide awake!

I had so much fun tonight... I felt free again... not that i feel like i'm a prisoner but just being able to do something so spontanous (NO I CAN'T SPELL BACK OFF ITS 2 IN THE MORNING) it feels really good... the whole ordeal... cutting my hair in the middle of the night and all that jazz. anyways... thank girls for a fun night! love ya'll!

The Mule Trader

Crystal really does know everything!!! She told me about the Mule Trader... its a free place to advertise anything!! All you have to do is call the number and leave your ad on the machine... they type it up and publish it in the mule trader weekly!!! Their number is 205.646-3456 I just put my Explorer in there! pray it sales sooon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have lost it!

I woke up this morning and in a hurry called Kelly cause we were supposed to go to the mall but I had over slept. I dail her number and Tommy answers the phone... here's the conversation

me: Hey Tommy
Tommy: This isn't tommy
me: yeah whatever dork shut up and let me talk to kelly
tommy: (click) he hung up the phone

so before I call back I think.. um did I dial the wrong number for real?? I checked the number and yep i had dailed the wrong one!

this afternoon I decide to call Crystal here's how that went

Me: Hey what are you doing over there?
vickie (crystal's mom): what do you mean I live here
me: not uh
vickie: (laughs) yes i do
me: hold on (i look at the number that I have just dailed and realize oops i dailed vickie instead of crystal) oh sorry i did call you

i'm such a spaz!

Pampered

My mother got me a gift certificate to get my nails and toenails done for Mother's Day. Yesterday she kept the girls while I was able to go and pamper myself. I was soooo nice. I used to get my nails and toes done every two weeks but not anymore! I even stayed after they had dried to watch some oparah.

Afterwards I went by my parents house to pick up the girls but she asked us to stay for spaghetti... Matt was at school so I said okay! He ended up getting out early and came and ate with us.

Jessica is at an end of the year swimming party. Darcy and I were supposed to go to the mall today with Kelly but we postponed it till tomorrow.

Remember me telling you about my sister asking me to watch her son all summer for $40 a week. I had told her no already but the other day she asked me what I had decided so again I said I cannot do it for $40. She said well thats fine b/c I have someone that will and then she said if someone was offering her $40 she'd do it... yeah right!!!! She got her husbands 15 year old neice to do it... of course $40 is a lot to her! Well so every day this week she's called me to see if I can watch Zac --- well she doesn't come right out and say it but she says... so what are you doing with Jessica when she gets out early tomorrow... and so far she's done it every stinkin day! Well if you got someone to watch him you need to be calling them not ME! man oh man!

Oh by the way Miss Darcy is trying to crawl! She's rockin back and forth and sometimes just flops around on her belly like she's going to go somewhere... how cute.

i'm done for now!

my family... as much as they get on my nerves I know they are always there for me
my friends... for those of you i've known for a while and you're still around... and those of you i've just gotten to know... for the ones that have let me cry on the phone when i just needed to let it out
my church... a place where i can be myself and still accepted
my lord... for loving me even when i have a hard time loving myself and for my zillion of chances to get it right
my house... we totally lucked up on our home and even though i dont have a walk in closet or a garden tube... its still wonderful to me
my explorer... i wanted a SUV for such a long time even though its for sale... i still got to drive it for a year!
my daughters teacher... an awesome caring individual who has impacted not only jessica's life but mine as well
my computer... cause without it i would be bored to death
my past b/c without going through all i have i wouldn't be where i am today

My week

This is Jessica's last week of school. She has to go all day today but Tuesday and Wednesday are half days. Thursday is the never ending awards program! If you have never been to one of these you are soooo lucky. They start with 1st grade and each teacher calls the name of EACH student... they come up and she says something sweet about the kid and then it repeats with each kid thoughout every stinkin grade. Jessica is in the 4th grade this year... do you know how long i'm gonna have to sit there with Darcy! Man oh man... i wish Jessica didn't want to go but of course she does!

Tomorrow I'm supposed to go with Kelly (tommy's wife) to the mall after jessica gets out. She has to take back a bathing suit. I love the mall... but not when I cannot buy anything :(

Matt will be DONE with school tonight!!!! We've made it through 4 years of school one night a week! Yippee! They are having their graduation ceremony at the comedy club on june 24th. I've never been there before... my parents and his parents are going to come... outta be blast (yeah right).

Jessica has practice Wednesday but no game on Saturday b/c of the holiday weekend.

I think Matt has to work Memorial day... not sure. Wouldn't surprise me if he did have to work.

Well, I'm gonna try and eat lunch before Darcy wakes up :)
