Havent been on much last few days because thanks to Netflix and Nintendo Wii, we now have to most incredible option of being rediculous couch potatoes ever invented! We spent most of the weekend lounging around relaxing and watching movies and Tv through the wii. However, its now Monday, exactly 2 mondays before school starts, and 4 days before we leave for Murphy, NC! I am super excited and scared all at the same time about the vacation. I have mever planned a vacation completely sight unseen like this and its my first of a permanent new way of planning vacations in places other than Florida, since we likely will never visit there again. There are too many other places to go and to see in the world, and time goes by so fast that before I know it, my kids will be grown and "family vacations" will be a thing of the past...I just pray my first attempt at this doesnt end up Griswold Vacation on me.
Anyhow I have a ton to do today, but wanted to catch up. Thursday I was taken out for my birthday by some girlfriends. Me, Brooke, Tiffany, Francis, and Karrie all went to eat at On The Border. It was fun for the most part other than the service and the way it all ended...but I had a good long time there with lots of hearty belly laughs that I have been needing so bad. Tiffany was nice enough to be my DD and boy did I need one! Ha! After "dinner" we made a group poll and ended up at "The Place" on Towne Lake and walked in thinking it would be awesome and it was LAME!!! Hahaha!!! There was about 15 people in there (most of which were 40 years my senior) and it was Karaoke night, and it was awful!!! They insisted on me going up and having the bar sing me happy birthday and I was thankful it was so dark since I could feel the sweat beading up on my nose and ears buring with the deep shade of Red I surely was. I called it an early night and was home by 11:30pm. I came home to a pretty bad issue at home, but thats a private matter that isnt even worthy of adding to my beautiful blog...like so much other garbage in my life, I will keep it off here.
Friday was fun....Friday was a busy busy day that left me with a swollen ankle and a lot of bags in my car and a child who didnt look like him anymore! Ha! We finished all Christopher's school shopping, including shorts, shirts, shoes, bookbags, lunchboxes, and more! Laci also picked out a book bag, and I will get to that in a minute. After lots of shopping, me and the kids ate lunch at Chilis and then we went home to wait for Brian to get off work. After he got home (and we had a chance to cool off from our 100* day) we all packed up nice, fresh and clean and went to visit Laci's school!! We have made a family decision to put her in Pre-K3 for 3 days a week for 5 hours a day. Its preschool with Pre-K curriculum, and is at a nice school just a 3 minute drive from door to door from Christopher's school (on a regular afternoon in the summer with no traffic, lol) The school is Discovery Point of River Green and is a very very nice, clean happy facility. She will go Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8am to 1pm. She is super excited and cant wait to start! (Aug 3) She got a Princess bookbag and a few new shorts and skirts so she felt she looked "new" too. We went and did a tour and got her paperwork, and tomorrow we go back for our second tour where she can meet the teacher and see the class up and working with kids in it. She didn't want to leave Friday and was very upset that she wasnt staying to play. Ha!! Its not cheap, but a possibly neccessary step to assure she has a Pre-K spot here in Cherokee county next fall. So we will make the cuts where we have to and work on finding more things to do that are free instead to be sure this happens. Then, after that experience, we went to Great Clips because Christopher was looking like she shaggy dog and said his hair was too hot. He needed a cut for School and told me he wanted his hair short to be "more handsomer". So we went and looked through a book and by the time we left my baby boy who has had the same haircut since he was a baby looked about 3 years older!!! He got almost all of it cut off, left it a little longer on top and the front of his bangs flip up with gel to look spikey. He loves it (and I will admit I was shocked at how incredibly MORE gorgeous my boy could be) and I am happy...now I just have to get used to man grooming him in the mornings before school, lol.
Saturday I turned the big 28! Woot, lol! We started the day going to IHOP here in Canton since they just opened a new one, and it was very nice. The kids ate well, and I was stuffed! Then we went to the bookstore and I got some more easy reader books for Christopher, and then we went home because of the rain. We just hung out all day long at the house until dinner time and we went to Red Lobster. We ended the night early and I was happy to get in bed. (at 1am..)
Yesterday we went to my mom's house for a BBQ and to celebrate Father's day, my Birthday and Brian's Birthday. It was fun as always and we killed the whole day off there!
Now its Monday again, and I have school tours, grocery shopping, playdates, the lake on wednesday, Fritz going to a new foster, and a crap load of packing to do before Friday! Egad! LOL!
But for now, I am going to drink my coffee and have a nice morning.
Happy Week Everyone!
