So I realize that I have been a very bad blogger... shame on me! And have been so incredibly tied up at work and home (even though the girls have been gone all week) and neglected my blog! I know how much of a let down this can be for those who want to read all the latest! :) (I only say this because while my beautiful cousin Megan was on vacation I longingly looked everyday for a new post to no avail... until her recent return!)
So because my wonderful Mom told me on Wednesday that I wasn't being a responsible blogger (not really the words she used but very close!) I decided that I should post!!!! And I know that she will be reading this an chuckling to herself, so this one is for you Mom! :) XOXO.....
There really has been quite a lot going on that I could blog about all day long... let's see...
Last Thursday, Emilee and Taylor both spent the day at work with me, well part of the day. And they were so excited! You know how kids are they think going to work is the greatest thing in the entire world... well give them 10 years and I'm sure they will be whistling a different tune! HA Anyways! I'm off track... lets see... where was I.... Oh right, girls at work! lol
We had a really great morning, they felt very grown up getting to spend the day at work... in the break room watching movies. When it came time for lunch one of my great friends/co-worker Andrea grabbed the girls something from McNasty's (note: McDonald's) and they were able to get the eating out of the way so that we could do some shopping on my lunch hour!!! (WE LOVE SHOPPING!) We decided to visit this used bookstore that is close to my work since the girls love to read (and so do I).
So below is a picture of the girls on our lunch hour adventure!
Yes... that is the Incredible Hulk... And why is he in a used book store you might ask? Well for the amazing price of only $250.00 this life size replica could be yours! (Seriously) And we saw a photo op that just couldn't be missed! I truly love the look of terror on Taylor's face... I think she was making sure no one was really around to see her act like a fool... And Emilee is completely into it! LOL
Later that day I received a phone call from Emilee's fourth grade teacher saying that my wonderful, beautiful, smart and witty ten year old first born daughter is going to be published!!! I was so happy she was there so her teacher could tell her first hand! She was so excited!!! We can't wait to get our copies of the book so that we can see it for real in print!
Emilee's class had entered a creative writing event and their work was submitted to the Anthology of Poetry, Inc for review. Emilee's poem was chosen and will be in the 2009 edition of the Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans!!! I know you can't wait to run out and get a copy of your very own!
So as you can see it was a busy wonderful Thursday! :)
For the weekend we were kid free! That doesn't happen very often for us... at ALL!!! So we acted like kids ourselves and went to a 10:30 PM showing of Transformers at the IMAX! OK, just so you all know I am not a night person at ALL! And usually if we watch a movie that lasts past 9:30 PM there is a really good chance I'm going to fall asleep no matter HOW good the movie is! But away we went! I went home after work and picked Jordan up, who had to shower and get ready. We went to dinner and SHOPPING! since we had a few hours to kill! And my dear sweet lovie did the respectable thing and held my purse and bags for me at all the right times and even went into the jewelry store and shoe store where I proceeded to shop my bad week away! :) (On a side note: the jewelry store is the $1 Jewelry Store and the shoe store is Shoe Carnival!) But to me it could have been Moody's and Nine West! HA I just wanted to get out and do something grown up! I love all of my children but sometimes I just never get any Terra time...
So Friday night was awesome! We got home at 1:30 AM... I don't even get up at 1:30 AM to use the bathroom! I covet sleep! But we did, and I passed out pretty much as soon as we walked through the doors. Poor Jordan had to work Saturday so he only ended up with around four hours of sleep! Now I remember why responsible grown ups don't do this sort of thing! (I'm sure he is remembering too!).
So Saturday I stayed home and cleaned... not fun... and when Jordan got home and showered we went to the movies again!... FUN! We saw The Proposal and LOVED it!!! I just love romantic quirky comedies! After the movies we decided to go bowling!!! I haven't been bowling in FOREVER! But sadly I was wearing sandals and no socks (of course!) SO we decided to go to Wal-Mart and pick up a pack of socks... only Jordan and I being the goof balls we are decided to have a race walking contest. He is always making fun of me for walking so fast and I'm always teasing him for being so slow!
And so we were off! I was in the lead cutting between the ladies department fully camouflaged and Jordan was out in the open when he saw me reaching the sock department he broke out in a full fledged run! I started giggling as this rather large older woman sitting in the dressing room area started getting on to him like she was scolding a child!!! Well that really set me to laughing and stopped him dead in his tracks and I the triumphant speed walker took first place and won!
We had a great time bowling. I won two out of the three games we played! I'm rather competitive if you can't tell... I'm sure it isn't obvious at all. And were home by 10:30 PM... much more my speed! :)
