Day School craziness

My moto for the day...

You bet we were..

Back up the ole brain to this morning at 7:00 am. Hubs has been sick and so I have been sleeping in Lance's bed. I took the alarm and the dog and went to sleep, planning to drive straight to school this morning. Hubs would be staying at home! Time is of the essence this am. At 7:10 hubs decides he will go to work... meaning I will ride with him to TU ,then on to Day School. I look outside at 7:45 ready to leave...both of us... Where is outside. SOLID FOG. More like solid ice fog! It takes us 15 minutes to get 8 mi. to hwy 75. So anyway I got to school 10 min late.

Fast forward to lunch... We are getting all the kids fed and I get Cash's lunchbox. Whats in there but my all time favorite cookie from Merritts! Oh man, there is only 1... I kidded him for a few minutes about eating it... that sweet baby took a little bite, looked at me and offer me a bite. NO I didnt take it from him. but anyway.

..move on...all 7 toddlers have finished eating and still a bit wound up from not spending time outside. Tracy and I got them all asleep by 12:55. Tracy had her lunch and was eating at the table. I went to grab my lunch..lights flicker... fire alarm goes on LOUDLY!!!! Tracy and I look at each other. This is for real, no one in their right mind would have a practice at 1:00. its nap time. SO we grab 7 sleeping toddlers, yes all of them were out. start going out the door, no coats, no purse, no cell phone, just grabbing kids and moving fast... they are all asking whats going on, 1 is crying for daddy, all the rest are walking in their sleep! FAlse alarm... go back in your room and resume napping...SO we get them all back in the room without having to go outside! whew!

Now moving on... We tried to get them back down. RIGHT! so I am patting Cash and Bayleigh- yes, I do pat their precious little backs moms! anyway... I lay my head back against the table and say" Heavens"... little Cash says" to Betsy". I loose it and crack up, the kids crack up, they start playing peek a boo, Cash is the ring leader... he is hilarious! Turn on the light...no naps... go to the gym and run!

I love those little guys... they crack me up and keep me laughing all the time.

Familiar Tune, New words...

Snow..klahoma Where the cold front's sweepin' down the plain. And the piles of sleet, beneath your feet Follow right behind the freezing rain. Snow..klahoma Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I Travel home from work and hope some jerk Doesn't wreak our car in passing by.

Wednesday wisdom

Snip, clip, polish and shine. what shall I do with my hair... oh lets just whine!

Cute poem huh? I just made that right up. duh! Anywho, Tuesday is cut, color and shine day at Uptown. No question I must take care of the roots, but whats a girl to do with her hair.
If:
1. mother had her way it would be a pixie!
2. grammer had her way it would be curled tight and short.
3. hubs doesnt care, whatever as long as I am happy.
4 .its shorter I have to wash it everyday or it looks like bedhead and I know its like 'in' like right now... buy I am not a bed head.
5. its long... I dont have to wash it everyday, but I usually pull it into a pony by 4:00.

hmmmmmmmm whats a girl to do. Just when I let it grow I go and cut it.... stay tuned.

Oh, yea why do all beauty shop girlys take Monday off?? hmmmmmmmmm


By the way we are ready for the SNOW STORM! generator, gas, food, wood, vehicles ready, everything is ready to roll.

I made this over the past week for a "person". I can t tell you cause he/she might be reading this. probably not, but who knows. Of course their last name must be Sheehan. Anyway I made one for Ryan a few yrs ago and now this is number 2.


I was working on my blog last night and deleted all my blog friends. So I spent this morning redoing them. If you were already on my list... I lost you. email me your link and I will get it back on my list. darn computer/operator.

Its cold here today and suppose to snow again this week. I don not like snow. 1 time a year is ok. and we have had it.

Stay warm and carry on!

Merritts and Birthday

We have a birthday dinner tonight at Olive Garden for hubs mother! So that means a trip to Merritts for a cake. Chocolate Ganache. mmmmmmmm! If you live in the Tulsa area you HAVE to know Merritts! We are on first name basis in Owasso. I could eat a dozen of those little thumb print cookies and wash it down with a diet drink. My belly likes them too.
This is not the cake I got... but isn't it cute?? Its for a little girl that turned 1.

I have noticed over the years that kid parties are fun but much more over the top than my kids had. We had a family party and friends party. Rented the city pool a few times, McDonald's, Burger King etc. But never all out big ole spending party. I guess mine grew up ok. I used to sneak in while they were sleeping and decorated their room, the fix their fav breakfast with candles .. just spending a few minutes down memory lane! Where was I, oh yea, I need to clean up , have short power nap and then go eat dinner. I think I will actually have a fruity drink with an umbrella!

If you read my post from last night.. the boys and hubs were all lookin fin in their suits and the "frat" dinner. Lots of nice lookin boys and dates. Me in my jeans from school. At the last minute, Ryan came and got me to come in and eat too. I was assured that no one would see me. The table was at the front and the meal was served buffet style! hmmmmmm.. momma in her jeans! Oh well, nobody really cared and I had a great meal... thanks men of KA.

Busy day today but only 4 babies at Day School. Lots of sick kids and staff! I hope everyone gets better over the weekend.

Im sittin at TU waiting for the "guys" to finish with a fraternity dinner! I helped Ryan decorated and then I can sit out in the common area and surf the web and read! Hopefully they will slip a little food out for momma!!!!!

The weather is better here in Okla. yea! Im ready for spring weather.

Enjoy the weekend, take a nap and eat lots.. That reminds me I stopped at Merritts and got some stuff for Ryan and I ate 7 thumbprint cookies in the car! Yep, that should be my dinner!
