here we go...

Well, I think I am all ready for the big Thanksgiving Day!!! My mom is coming in town, so that will be lots of fun!! I have been to the grocery store 4 times in the last four days! Everyone will be coming to our house and that is always fun! I have left the kids with BIG chore lists for the day.... hopefully I will not have too much to do when I get home from work. I know Daniell will crack the whip and make them get things done. He always is able get WAY more accomplished with the kids than I can!! Imagine that!! lol
I cannot wait until Friday! I hope to get ALL my shopping done! I just love to look at the ads on Thursday and set out a plan of action! I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving!

Today...

Well, I got through surgery just fine. Shawna was so sweet to come up and be with Daniell and I. Even though I don't remember much (good drugs). I slept for a couple of days - the anesthesia kicked my butt!! I feel good today.
Daniell and I went to a meeting at school for Alex. He seems to be struggling really hard. So they are going to begin some testing to see if they can figure out what is not 'clicking'! I am so lucky to be in such a great school district. They don't just care about the job they do, but they care about the kids. Individually~~~ They care about my kid!! I am so blessed!!! Daniell and I had a great day together. We went to lunch and grocery shopping. That was really easy with him and not three kids. He was a great help!!!
This weekend I have veggie coop shop and the girl scout American Girl party! Alex has his first wrestling tournament Saturday. I will miss it due to the girl scout party, but I cannot wait to hear how it goes! Have a blessed weekend!

a really good laugh

I laughed so hard I cried! Kim called me last night and told me to check my email and to make sure Madyson was with me. So I tore her away from the TV and we opened my email. Well, Kim had made a jib-jab sendable ecard. She put Madyson's picture in the place of Vanessa Hutchins (from High School Musical) face. So in essence Madyson got to dance with Troy! I cannot even begin to tell you how funny it was~~~ She giggled the entire time and I mean giggled and could not stop! When she woke up this morning and showed her bothers~~
I am not real sure anyone else will find this as funny, but here is the link if you want to watch and imagine Madyson laughing uncontrollably!!

Daniell is off again ~~ To Atlanta this time ~~ Alex has a tournament this weekend, somewhere in south Fort Worth. We will know exactly where by Thursday! This is the last tournament for the fall, I pray they do well!
I have pre-op stuff on Monday afternoon and my procedure on Wednesday! Yippee! Have a great day!

Jury Duty!!!

Well I will start with the weekend. I had a great birthday. We had one baseball game Saturday and went out to eat with my hubby and kids. Halloween was fun, the kids had a great time. In bed a little early because, as you all know, there is nothing more important than a good night sleep before a big baseball tournament! (it didn't work...lol)
My sweet husband got me a really cute pink Garmin (GPS). I love it. I also got a really sweet key chain from my sister. It is like a charm key chain. She had a 'happy birthday', 'starbucks', and 'baseball' charm put in it. Very appropriate for me!
Monday started a long couple of days for me! I got jury duty. And got picked for the trial. It was a misdemeanor DWI. It took two days, the judge said that is not normal ~ should have been less! But the defense attorneys were terrible! It was a 6 panel jury. We all agreed he was guilty. The deliberation took about 10 minutes. I meet some nice people. The best part was we got to talk to the judge and the attorneys freely after it was all over. I do have to say I did learn alot, and even though it at times was a 'beating', it was very interesting. I am glad that I am excused for the next three years!
Daniell left this morning for somewhere ~ not sure where this time ~ He will not be back until Sunday :( We have a busy few days without him. Many places to be, and a few at the same time. Thanks to Kim and Eleanor I am able to get through the week.
