Waiting on the HUGE storm.....

Ok.. so my hubby has a little bit of Chicken Little in him. He thought, like a lot of people did, that this weekend we were going to have this HUGE storm. So our pantry is full... I mean FULL... of canned veggies, and other hunker down foods. He does this everytime the news says a catastrophe is going to come. You should have seen him at Y2K. Now that my friends was Chicken Little at his best!!! :)

First couple weeks of school

Ok, so Cole has been in 1st grade for 3 weeks now. He has the sweetest teacher ever!! He loves her. He has been on his best behavior to impress her. It doesn't help that she is young and super cute!! LOL It is hard to believe that he is in 1st grade already. it seems like yesterday that he and Neil drove me to school after I had to go back from maternity leave and left me bawling in the parking lot. Where do the years go? Now he is almost 7... yes 7!!!!!!!!!! He is getting "best friends" which totally cracks me up. And is talking about how the girls drive him nuts by chasing him around the playground. Thank God that he is immature and totally oblivious to the fact that what they are really doing is flirting. :) Oh, the good times. Where girls flirt and boys have absolutely no idea that you are flirting. HA HA!!

Cole's "cup" experience!!

Ok... so I have to share a story that made me laugh so hard I cried. Cole is now playing machine pitch baseball. This is a whole new thing to us. Well... apparently in machine pitch they have to wear a cup. Cole calls it his "weiney protector." He LOVES his cup. He puts it on (looking like a Chippendale dancer) and sticks his hips out saying, "Hello ladies!!"Not only does he walk around like he has a sausage in his pants, but he periodically knocks on it. Yes.....he knocks on it. Standing on the practice field he feels the urge to knock on his "weiney protector!!" OMG... what is wrong with this picture?!?!?! Of course, I am trying to explain to him that everyone has to wear one or they can't play machine pitch, but do the other boys knock on their cups?? You bet they do!! They love those suckers!! OOOOHHHH.... the saga of boys. :) I will post a pic as soon as I have one. Not of him modeling the cup, just a pic of him in his new uniform. LOL

Austin July 2008!!!

OK... so I am just getting my dang disc to work. I went to Ausitn with 4 other awesome ladies to "learn" about our PTA positions this summer. It was the absolute best time I have had in a LONG TIME!!! I already knew Veronica pretty well... but I made 3 other friends for life!! I LOVE my girlies. We did learn lots of stuff about the PTA, but we learned even more about each other!! Let's just say my amigas learned that drunk Kristi is no different from sober Kristi. Sad... Scary... BUT TRUE!!! I love you girlies.. you know who you are. Look in my pic if you don't. HA HA HA!!!! It is so much easier to work with each other as close as we have to on the PTA board when you feel comfortable and at ease with everyone. :)

I LOVE Twilight!!!!

OK... so this blinkie is the story of my life. I read all 3 of the 1st books in the Twilight series in one weekend last summer!! Than I anxiously waited for the 4th book to come out. Rushed out to buy it. Read it in 3 days... and now I am dying waiting on the friggin movie to come out in December!! Why do I do this to myself?? Why can't I relaxingly read a book in a week or so and then move on? Why do I get so engrossed with a book that I jeapordize my health just to finish it?!?!? WHY!!!!!!

HA HA!!!!!

OK.. so I am going to do my very 1st blog vent session!! I am soooo irritated and I have no one else to blame but myself. So, most of you know I am on the PTA board at Cole's school. Well... my ONLY job last year was to order the school supplies, and a planner for the upper grade and folders for the younger. So... my most gracious friends go to the school today to help me sort/organize/distribute these dang supplies, planners, and folders. And what happens.... I AM SHORT STINKIN PLANNERS!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I had to reorder more and the kiddos will have to wait 2 frigging weeks for them to get here. It is sooo much easier when this is someone else's fault. Then I can laugh and say HA HA... not so funny when I am the one that screwed up!! OK... all done. I feel totally better !!!!!

I'm Back....

OK.. so summer has started to settle down and I'm back to my blog!! I have had an amazing summer with my family and friends. I do have to admit though, this is the1st summer where I am like... "How much longer till school starts?????" I know when school starts it will be crazy, but Cole is so bored at home that he is driving me nuts!!!!
