Good Morning MENA - It's Saturday!!!!

[allousa 1]

I was REALLY hoping that my son would sleep in a little this morning....WHAT was I thinking????

Right at 6:00am he woke up ready to go. Brought him back to my bed with a sippy cup of juice and turned on the cartoon only to see the devil "Barney". At least I was able to get about 30 more minutes of snoozing.

Going to the pool this morning and then I'm dropping the kid off at grandma's house so I can come home and guess what....do blasted yard work. BLAH!!!!! I have to say I'm getting tan and fit from all of this yardwork...but man...what a pain in my azzz. It's almost too much to be enjoyed, you know?

I think I'm going to grill us some supper and hopefully I'll have some Netflix movies in the mail today. Sound exciting, huh? <yawn>

Hope everyone has a good day!!!!!

Hi everybody! Today I am going to Wisconsin! My sister has a house in the country and is having a pool party for about 50 people and I am taking Alexis. This will be the first time in 4 years that she will be away from her parents overnight (maybe now I will get that 2nd grandchild ) Ms Lexy thinks we are sleeping in a tent tonight, uhhhh I think the bed in the guest room has my name on it. After she goes to sleep, I will be in the hot tub under the stars. Then tommorrow on the way home, we plan on stopping at Gurnee Mills (HUGE mall) where I can continue to spoil Lexylou.

Hope you all have a great weekend. Have fun with that yardwork allousa and HI Melinda!

Wow. Allousa, yard work will keep you trim. I am happy that you are working yourself towards your goal! The only good thing about the babies waking up so early, is that they either sleep early or take a nice nap in the afternoon. (which you may not get to enjoy cause he's with grandma ) So, next time just look at it as a "Go to bed early Card "!

Jackie, I know you are psyched about this weekend and I hope you enjoy it soo much! The hot tub sounds terrific!

Today is a lazy day for us. We slept all day, but we woke up to some piping hot homemade pizza! Thanks Ma! It was delicious.

Have a good weekend, everybody.

Well it's about 101 here and humid today...reminds me of when I was in Alex!!!!

I just finished a well deserved latte after shopping from 11am to 3:30pm for back-to-school clothes for the kids.

OMG I am TOTALLY writing a complaint letter to Abercrombie!!!! We walk in and who greets us but this 20ish yr old guy with no shirt on and jeans that START about 1/4 of the way down his well rounded butt! I think I turned about 5 shades of red when he said hi to me!!! I really don't think that's necessary marketing though. I hate the bags too and get embarassed when the girls carry their stuff in them. BLECH. Anyway we're about 2/3 of the way done now. Just have to get shoes, jammies and a winter coat for each.

We had to take a break half way through and get lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. LOVE that place but I think that's the last time the kids will be willing to go in with me. lol. They grow up waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast!!!!!

There's an italian festival in the next town but it's way to hot n humid for me. Gonna stay in and watch movies I guess. Feels nice knowing I don't have to go to work for another 10 days or so!!!

Jackie I hope you have a lot of good fun with lexi!!! I think she'll boost your spirits! Little kids are the best medicine for the blues!

Hey ladies! Let's go have dinner at Allousa's (we can bring side dishes for whatever she is grilling ) and then go hop in the pool hot tub with jackie, since she'll be all alone without Lexi

Doodle: totally agree with you about Abercrombie. I wont even shop there. Why do they need half naked associates to sell their stuff??

Jess: How are things in Saudi?

Maggie it is absolutely ridiculous. I told them they can spend a total of $50 each there (as long as it's not those hoochie mama shorts) and the rest of the clothes had to be bought at Macys, American Eagle, etc. Thankfully my youngest didn't want to but the oldest HAD to. Of course that money only was able to purchase one shirt, but it did the trick thankfully.

It's one of those things that the kids in her particular class feel that they have to have in order to "belong". I remember what it was like to be that age and I also remember my mom making me wear frilly dresses everyday while the "cool girls' got to wear white carpenter pants and clogs. So I decided last year that I'll let them get one or two of the cool expensive things but the rest have to be normal stuff that doesn't require a second mortgage on my house!

I sooooo hope that if I do have a third child it's a boy who could care less about this stuff!!!

Ah Doodle, don't count on it. LOL Tho I am happy as a lark buying from the clearance rack, and shopping at the dollar stores, two of my sons inherited the "rich" taste from their father. At ten and twelve they ask for cell phones, play stations, PSP players (whatever they are), Nikes, and want "label" clothes. I tell them to ask their dad for these things and they roll their eyes at me. LOL Right, you don't get them from me and you don't get them from your dad, so I guess you need to get a job! LOL The other ten year old could care less, half the time I am lucky if I can get him to wear clothes that actually matck. But they do match mom, see they both have blue in them, No honey, checks and stripes don't go together, EVER LOL
