overload...

Spring cleaning has taken on a whole new meaning in our house. I have been going through all the closets in the halls and in the rooms, not to mention every room one at a time just completely overhauling them! I also feel like a laundry robot, I have been doing that non stop for about a week, rest asured I am almost done! Now I will just have to keep up so it doesn't get out of control again. We are also reorganizing our closet. It is HUGE but we don't have it organized as well as we could so we are putting up some more shelves and we will go from there. And one final thing, oops I almost for got I got Bryan a Sharper Image automatic lited tie holder, it holds 72 ties it is pretty cool and it will make my life a ton easier. Anyway, my final thought, was it sucks that it is supposed to rain all this week cuz I could really use a topless ride in the Jeep! Maybe I will get lucky and we will get a nice day. Oh well, Keep Smiling!

Ya know what I miss the most?

I knew that having kids required making sacrifices, however I never thought of certain things that I REALLY miss now....Do you know how long it has been since I got into the car and was able to listen to what I want??? Well guess what neither do I! All I get to listen to these days is either a disney music CD (the first 100 times it wasn't even bad) or the 2 disc My little Pony CD that one really was never cool!!! All I want is a little classic rock or some punk or dead anything other than kids crap!!!! Of course that could go for the TV too, by the time it is my turn I am so tired that even if there is something good on (not very often) I can stay awake to watch it! Isn't it bad enough that they get the best clothes, shoes, toys, games for the cube, regular hair cuts, daily taxi service and ready made meals and snacks, can't they just once forfit the TV or the Radio???? Hell we even got tivo for the dish so I could try to catch some of my shows and even that is hard to nail time to view! I love my kids but damn, think long and hard about that cuz although the joy of the pregnacy is truly amazing and so fun and bonding, they really come out and take over, life just isn't the same! I guess on the up side I started young enough that after I enjoy the love and the joy that comes with them I will still be in my 30s when I am soaking up the sun with my hubby and the kids start to do their own thing, I will take it, good or bad THEY TOTALLY ROCK!!! Okay enough babble I just reolized while putting away THEIR laundry (another service I provide) how much I miss GOOD music!

Almost time for Innsbrook After Hours....

We are getting excited the kids are finally old enough to handle the summer concerts! We are going to give it a shot, I think it will be a lot of fun, the tickets are cheap and the kids are free, can't beat that. And the line up isn't all to bad either! Well we will be sure to review the ones we go to...........

Happy Spring!

BINGO.....

Once again we have done it!! Tonight Lisa and I both won. It is so much fun, however I was one number away all I needed was N44 to win the $1000.00 Jackpot and I needed it for like 4 calls. Needless to say I didn't get it but it was still fun! Instead I did win a $50.00 game. Some money is better than no money. Well maybe next time!

A pretty Butterfly also from the Museum

We made it home....

Back in good old Virginia. It is really nice to be home again and it is even nicer since spring has sprung! All my Bradford Pear Trees are blossoming and everything is so green and beautiful! We were all happy to have a good nights sleep in our own beds! It is hard to believe that the school year is coming close to an end and nice weather is upon us! OH the fun we will have.....
