Winn Dixie
I just got back from the store... Winn Dixie in Alabaster is shutting down. As of TODAY they no longer accept checks! And they will not be restocking anything!!!!! I spoke to the manager and he said it all happened today... he said they were dying a slow death. He said they don't expect to have any meats after next week. NO RESTOCKING OF ANYTHING! yikes! as far as i know the one in helena is staying open.
So far the only deals i saw where on spices... they were %30 off original price... and the winn dixie brand is marked down. He said probably more to come.

Got a Letter today
from my inmate pen pal... very interesting. He's challenged me to a game... I told him in my last letter that I don't read my Bible on a consistent basis. The challenge is that we ask each other a bible question in our letters. His question to me was ... Where verse in the bible tells us the first place the disciples were called Christians? I found it!! Do you know the answer???? My question to him was... Who from the old testiment is mentioned in James??... this is the only place in the NT he is mentioned. Do you know who????
Tina and the Baby
I've talked to Tina recently and she is doing fine. Baby is still at Shelby... they haven't said when they'd release him. She's able to see him every 4 hours.
We had planned on giving her a shower on Aug 7th but due to the lack of planning on my part we're moving it back to the 21st. If anyone is interested in helping just let me know... it would be greatly appreciated... if not thats okay too... just show up on the big day!
I'll let you know if anything changes... thanks.
also if any of you would like her number to give her a call just let me know and i'll email it to you. Thanks!

Xanga's the new thing

Big Girls Love to EAT
Does anyone else struggle with eating when you're not hungry? I've been eating at night a lot lately... sometimes b/c i'm hungry... sometimes b/c i think about eating something that taste good... sometimes b/c i'm bored. I really need to stop! Please don't laugh but i'm sooo afraid i'm going to get bigger but i'm not doing anything about it!!!!
My husband would love no matter what i looked like but I AM THE ONE that doesn't want to get any bigger. When I think of what I look like... I imagine the old skinner me... and when I see myself in the mirror or pics of me... then i think WHOA GIRL!!! What happened!!?? This is a serious issues with me... please pray that I find motivation to prevent instead of guilt after the damage has been done.

So far today....
well I got up at 8:00!!!! Darcy woke up around the same time for her bottle... she went right back to sleep after that. I got Jessica up and we both got ready... then it was time to get Darcy up. We went into her room and leaned over the crib... we whispered Darcy Bug... but no movement... we kept whispering and finally she'd grin with her eyes still closed. Then she'd flip her head from one side to the other grinning the whole time. We finally got her up and ready to go. She stayed with CC (matt's mom) while I took Jessica to the dentist. NO CAVATIES!!!!! We saw Dr. Bordenca... he said her upper jaw was out growing her lower jaw... it covers her bottom teeth big time! He also said she had 12 more baby teeth to lose... man i don't remember losing teeth at that age. He also said her teeth were crowded and her tonsils were big. He said she needed to see an orthodonist soon. Yippee!
Now we're back at home... I was hoping since I was up and dressed that my daddy would take me to lunch but he's all the way out in trussville looking at houses... i ate a bologna sandwich instead.
Darcy went down for her nap before lunch time... i guess we woke her up too early this morning... no telling when she'll get up :)

Game Show
If you could be on any game show which one would you pick and why????
I think i'd pick Wheel a Fortune b/c I'm normally really good at solving the puzzles.
sorry if this is cheesy... I was just trying to think of something to ask everyone cause crystal asks cheesy questions once a week ;)

Hump Day
Well I kept Zac today... it was pretty bad. He wouldn't mind, he was jumping on the furniture, running through the house. He and Jessica bickered back and forth. It was not a good day! I was glad when his mommy picked him up!
I managed to get some things done for Celebrate Recovery. I retyped the call list and started a newsletter... well i'm not sure what will happen with the newsletter... I was just playing around.
Matt made it home around 5:30pm... he was sooo tired and soakin wet! We had to go straight to his parents house for dinner... chicken pot pie... yummy! We stayed and visited for while before coming home. As soon as we got home Matt had to take a shower and go to bed. I watched the last half of bratt camp... missed the beginning URGGGG! I'll have to ask Crystal what happened :)
Tomorrow Jessica has a dentist appt at 10am. Mrs. B is going to watch Darcy. Afterwards I'm hoping to get down to Calera to spend the day with Lisa.
Friday I'm supposed to help Lisa do some decorating... i've also been asked to go swimming with Haley (she's also a leader at CR)... I think we're gonna make Lisa go swimming... she needs a break!
Well i'd better get ready for bed since i have to be up so early :)

Last Night
Well after we did our makeup and hair we went to walmart. Jessica had a gift card to spend. She got the Ice Princess, a watch and a CD holder. On our way home we stopped by Arby's. We stayed up until 12:30am watching the movie. It was very cute and clean.
FYI the alabaster/pelham walmart closes at 11pm now. I can't wait till the super walmart opens.

WAR
no this post isn't about politics... its about a card game! Jessica and I have been playing cards all morning. We just finished playing war... i remember playing this game with Tommy Staggs... he hated to lose and he'd throw his cards before losing. What a big baby!!! LOL
I was supposed to help Lisa do some decorating today but she went into work (tuesday's her off days). I was looking forward to it :( Tomorrow I'm keeping Zac. Thursday jessica has a dentist appointment. I'm not sure whats going on Friday.
Well i think me and girls are going to take a trip to the mall. See ya later!

YUMMY
I grilled chicken, potatoes and corn on the cob! it was yummy... I marinated the chicken in OJ and lemon juice. I cut the potatoes up in pieces and sprinkled them with cheese and bacon bits. I loaded the corn up with butter... it was all really good.
I've managed to keep the house clean since the party... my bedroom still needs some TLC but over than that its all clean.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to go to Lisa's to help move things around... i'm looking forward to it... why is it you don't mind going to other's peoples home to help them organize/decorate but you don't like doing it at your own house... anyone else like that?

Time is ticking away
tick tick ticking away... i'm a dork. my daughter loves DC talk but all she has is my old DC Talk CD... she's listens to it all the time and is always walking around singing there songs.
Monday... just another day. Kinda sad... my husband worked all weekend. Today will be the 7th day in a row... he didn't work last monday b/c we were at VisionLand. He's supposed to be off Sunday for Darcy's dedication. Afterwards he's supposed to go to the shooting range with his dad and Michael... wonder if they'll let me go... never been before... might be fun. Not to mention I would love to spend time with my hubby!!!!!!!!!! But I know he wants to hang out with Michael before he goes off.
Did I tell you????? Darcy has a tooth!!!!!!!!!!!!! We noticed it yesterday at lunch.... it just came up over night... it has broke through the gums. funny... the day before I felt her gums but nothing was there.
Last night matthew and I were looking at some places to go in north alabama for our anniversary... we're not going to be able to take a lot of time off so we figured we'd keep it close... and I don't want to be too far from the girls. we found Dismals Canyon its looks really relaxing. I've gotta get in shape before I go or else Matt will be hiking without me :)
I did walk on the treadmill for half a mile! I'm going to try to take darcy for a walk in the evenings... jessica can ride her new bike with us.

Fun day
my sister and zac went to church with me and the girls today. That was exciting... zac asked if he could go again b/c he loved it :)
Afterwards we met up with the brocks for lunch... it was me, jessica, darcy, heather, michael, mr & mrs. b, grandmaw and amy... THEN matt called... he got off early and was able to meet us there too!!!!! We ate at Ruby Tuesday's on 119... i had the new orleans seafood... tilaupa and shrimp... sooooo good... not fishy tasting at all!!
After lunch jessica and I met my mom... we went to the gap and old navy to spend jessica's gift certificates... she got some really cute stuff! Matt stayed home with Darcy and rested... poor hubby.
I forgot about the meeting at the church... i really had planned on going but got caught up in the days events... oh well... matt was too tired to move.
okay... you ready for the mushy part????
I MISS HEATHER! It sucks b/c as soon as we started developing a really good friendship she leaves me! NO FAIR! No one to go grocery shopping with at midnight... not quick runs to sonic... no shopping sprees... no emails! And in a few more weeks she's going to be moving to NORTH CAROLINA!
Not to mention... matt and michael have gotten closer over the last several months and now they're gonna be so stinkin far away! Matt's really bummed about it.
OH AND... today jessica was acting all weird on me... i got her in the car and i was like... listen girl.. whats up with you???? she said... I wanted to hang out with just uncle michael and aunt heather... I'm gonna miss uncle michael and aunt heather... i don't want them to move. it was soooo pittyful!

It's Over!!!
We survived the b'day party! My family just left!!!
My parents kept the girls last night... Darcy kept them up all night! I guess she doesn't like to sleep in strange places.
my mom had said she was going to come over this morning to help me get ready for the party... she arrived at 1:15!! The party started at 2!!! I managed to get a lot done without her... I guess not having Darcy to take care of really helped. The ONLY room I didn't get done was our bedroom!!!!! I've been trying to tackle that room for weeks... I started this week and got pretty far until i was distracted... but today it was the catch all room... I actually put things in the right place but for things that I need to find a home... well they ended up in our bedroom.
Matt was home by 12:45... he mopped for me :) He's soooo tired right now... he's watching into the west... i missed last weeks so i'm not watching tonights.
The birthday party was good... our good friends from huntsville came down... Rocky and Tara.. and their son Blaine. I love Blaine to death... he's such a good kid. I want to be his aunt cole :) He only has one uncle!!!! No cousins!!!! So i pretend his my nephew :) They're coming down next weekend for Darcy's dedication... THATS RIGHT DARCY IS GOING TO BE DEDICATED AT CHURCH NEXT WEEK SO IF YOU DON'T COME AND TRY AND SAY YOU DIDN'T KNOW WELL I'M TELLING YOU NOW! okay... so other folks that came were Tommy, Kelly and Will Staggs... love those dorks!!!! My parents, matt's folks... my sister and her family. Thats all... it was a last minute thing.
Since Darcy didn't sleep much last night she went down tonight at 6pm! jessica went home with my sister.... we're all by ourselves :)
Oh... my sister and nephew are going to church with us tomorrow... this is BIG DEAL! My brother in law wouldn't come... he was raised catholic and doesn't like other churches even though he doesn't go to a catholic church. but they all will be there next weekend for DARCY'S DEDICATION!
that's all for now... i'm tired.

Almost forgot...
after we left Rooms to Go I went to Lisa's house to get some decorating ideas. I'm supposed to go back one day next week to help get things settled.
My mom called while I was there to ask if Jessica could spend the night... I said sure... you want Darcy too??? I was surprised when she said Yeah. So off they went to grandmaw's house.... kid free tonight!!! too bad my husband was in bed by 9:30pm... he's got to be up at 4am... working 7 days a week is going to be rough.
Jessica's b'day party is tomorrow... my mom is supposed to come over in the morning to help me get ready for it... its really no big deal... mainly just family will be there.
PS... Matt and I watched that movie Boogeyman tonight... don't waste your time... it was stupid... but still scared me :)
don't tell anyone... i'm eating crunch bar ice cream at 11:30pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a day!
this morning around 9:30am Matt calls me... at first I'm a little nervous b/c i don't know why he'd be calling me... I answer (we have 2 way). He tells me that he's locked his keys in his truck and ask if I can bring the spare. Believe it or not I was happy to do it... even though its a really long drive... he's working at the mercedes plant in Vance, AL... I got the girls ready and off we went. It took me about 35 minutes to get there (not nearly as long as I thought it would be). I was going to stop on the way and buy us lunch but missed all the exits with food... before I knew it I was there and there was nothing around! We ended up watching Matthew eat in the car... and his buddy came too.
After that I met Lisa for lunch and then we headed to Costco's to met her mother. I got a few things. Then we went to Rooms to Go... love that store... it was my first time in there. As I'm walking through the store I see someone that I think I know... but I wasn't sure... so after walking off i'm kicking myself for not saying something... as I'm thinking to myself about not speaking to this person and missing my opportunity I look up and there he is again! This time I knew for sure it was him! Jason... my best friend from highschool... He was a few years older than me but was in love with me (no i'm not trying to boast my ego)... we were just friends. I started dating Jessica's father and he was crushed... but we stayed friends... Jessica's father did not like him at all! Jason was the one that bought my pregnancy test. He was such a good friend... he wanted to be there for me while I took it but Jessica's father was a jealous #$@% and told him to leave. ((( i was home alone and her dad was on the phone))) I really could have used Jason's shoulder to cry on b/c her father definitely wasn't around! ANYWAYS FAST FORWARD... We kept in contact even after I graduated... but he went away to school and we lost touch. I was soooo thrilled to see him today. There's a lot of people in my past that I could careless if I ever saw again but he's one of the ones that I hated not keeping in touch with. I told him all about my wonderful husband... I had both girls there with me... he said they were beautiful. He has a 3 year old son but he and the mom are not together... he has custody. He's getting married to another chick on Sept 3rd. They just bought a house in Meriweather (calera). I told him about my church and invited him to come... He said he and his fiance were looking for a church and maybe they'd see us there on Sunday. He told me how happy he was for me... he said I had some rought times but I deserved to be happy and he was glad that I found a good man. I could have stayed there all day and talked to him but we had to leave but don't worry we swapped numbers. I'll def. keep in touch this time... I want him to meet my hubby :) and I would love to meet his family.
