Summer.

It's hot. When did it happen and why is it always such a shock to the system? Anyway I am currently trying to keep 3 different plants alive. I have a black thumb what am I thinking! Also 2 pots have a variety of plats, 1 has peppers the other has basil, parsley and oregano. The other is a white ivy that I got on my birthday. I always want to grow things and they always die I figured out that I mainly water to much so I am trying to remember to test the soil. Will see.

How you know you are back from your all girl beach trip:

1.The boys are playing football on the square video game thing. I think that is so pointless. I do not like video games. They actually think they are playing. Ugh. They yell at it and take it personally. Men.

2. I am going to eat something cooked on the grill tonight.

3. The Belmont horse race comes on today. We watch the derby and the other one every year. Not so into it.

4. When I got back the boys had been camping. They had ticks. Why I don't go camping.

5. I have cooked every night this week. I don't mind cooking just lets me know I am back.

Well I guess I am back to earth and school has started back for me. The teacher is a teacher at Moody Elementary (I had to spell check to spell elementary good thing English is over)Anyway he seems to grade really nicely. You get 5 test you can throw out the lowest and if you do really good on the finally you can throw out your other lowest and use your finally grade twice. So unless I take up crack or crystal meth I think I will pass. (I know I shared that with some of you but I thought it was a great line if I do say so myself). So I have not even opened the book yet maybe tomorrow.

Glad to be home and back among friends. We had a great time at Crissy last night. Always great food and fun with the ladies. Toddles for now.

Beach trip 2008!!

We had a great time at the beach. It was really great seeing my friends from P'ville. Keeping in touch is hard when your so far away. It was wonderful hanging out by the pool and relaxing. The hardest part was eating late I am not use to that. But waiting for a table takes a while. You may wander where the pictures of the actually beach are. I forgot to take them But me in a swim suit for all the blog world to see I am okay with. Missed everybody. Hope to see my fellow work out friends tomorrow I need to run. A lot.

River Life

Well we have been Mom's since yesterday. The boys and I have been treated like royalty. Mom has cooked and watched the boys the whole time. I just woke up from a 2 hour nap and I wasn't awaken by the kids I woke up naturally. How awesome !!!! I also got a new book that I have been reading and it is very good. Riley, my step-dad, took the boys hiking/walking and I read it for about 2 hours. Hey I see a pattern, and I like the pattern. So I feel like I need to do something I have been so busy with life lately that I think I need to do something. But I think I am going to try to keep relaxing and enjoy this break.

Oh by the way I still go to the beach Friday without the kids or Darrin for three whole days with one of my best girlfriends. Try not to hate me to much. Just kidding if I could I would take everybody with me. Well maybe not everybody.

36

I am adjusting to the fact that I turned 36 yesterday. Really that is getting scary close to the big 40. I never thought about getting older until I started getting older. But I had a great day the kids made me cards and the hubby bought me a card with some money for my trip to the beach with some friends from Prattville next week. Kim made me a wonderful chocolate cake gooey thing that was wonderful, thank you. At the gym after running I mention that it was my birthday I don't like to say it out loud like please don't look at me. So everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" and so I blushed really bad and was so embarrassed. But it does always make you feel special when people sign "Happy Birthday" so thanks ladies. My Mom sent me a beautiful email telling me things about my babyhood and my delivery. Thanks Mom.

Onto, will soccer ever end? We are now making up games that we missed from bad weather. And a tournament on Friday and Saturday with a total of 5 games. I am really ready for it to be over. I really enjoy soccer and the boys love it for the most part but near the end I can't wait for it to be over. So one more week.

Next week we are going down to visit my Mom and the I am going to the beach with just girls cannot wait. 3 whole days on the beach with one of my bestest friends Angie. So that should be really funny. Another friend Bridget is letting us go down with her for the weekend then her family is coming after we leave. I miss my friends form P'ville it has been an adjustment so getting to see them will be great.

So I guess I will now come to terms with my age the alternate to not getting older is even less appealing.

I Got A "B".

I can not believe it I got a B in English. I was very worried about it because it was harder than I thought. I also never knew how my research paper turned out. Maybe I get something in the mail about it who knows I don't care I passed. So on to Math for simpletons.

On to Mother's Day I am very thankful for my mother. She has always been there for me and though we have not always gotten along perfectly she has always supported me and loved me unconditionally all my life. So thank you my sweet Mommy for all that you do and all that you are.I would wanted no other mother but you. All my love your Happy Heart. (See pic above I think she will be okay with this pic since you can't see her really well. She does not like pic's of herself)

Also to all the mother's out there and you know who you are you have the stretch marks to always remind you of your bundles of joy. I wish all of you the happiest Mother's Day ever.

Leaving?

Is Kim really leaving? Is she really? Who will take me to the thrift store and find me fabulous stuff? I mean I am such a newbie at thrifting and I still need lots of help. So I really will miss that part a lot but I will really miss her smiling face the way she always makes everyone feel so welcome. I remember the first time I went to her house for small groups and I sat at the bar in the pool house and I knew after about ten minutes that we would be friends really good friends. She has shown me the gospel so much and always weaves it into her life so beautifully. Always answering my questions but never pushy. She has made me a runner I know she would say I did it but she is a great motivator. She has taught me to be more open and the ability to be more hospitable. Even when you have to watch Phantom of the Opera 3 times in one week still you get cheese cake and you are always welcome. My boys will miss her boys greatly. So I know you are scared about leaving and I know that you will make new friends but I am glad that I get to say that I am your friend. You made my move and adjustment to Moody so wonderful and I will always be grateful to you for that. So as hard as it is for you to leave I pray for you and that in Clinton MS that there are lots of friends waiting to be blessed with you as their friend. As long as you know that I expect you back here in three years to the day. And whenever you want to come visit that the Nold's welcome you and I can't wait to come stay with you and see the fabulous Mississippi. I love you and I am proud of you. Missing you already.
