Finally!!

We let Bana decide when she was going to get her ears pierced. So the other day she asked if she could and I told her next time we went to Grammys. So Tuesday evening Norah, Maryann, Katie, Jeffrey, Bana and I went to Claire's. Bana picked out the....yep, purple earrings.

It hurt a little more than she expected, but in the end, she loves them. Everyday she tells me that all the girls in our family have their ears pierced.

Over the hill

Okay how about over the hill birthday being celebrated by going over a hill. Mount Killamejaro (I think I butchered the spelling) in 9 years.....who is in?

Organizing

I am organizing papers today. I found this that i had ripped out of a magazine...I loved it then and still love it.

My butt is big and round like the letter c

and ten thousand lunges have made it rounder but not smaller and that's just fine.

It's a space heater for my side of the bed it's my ambassador to those who walk behind me

It's a border collie that herds skinny women away from the best deals at clothing sales.

My butt is big and that's just fine and those who might scorn it are invited to kiss it.

Desire

I feel like being inspired......I want to be creative. I feel like I have been in the just get by mode for far too long.

All those boys are much too much

The Ray boys spent their yearly brother's reunion here helping on the house. It was fun to see them all. They are all very awesome men, that I am proud to say are my brother in laws and hubby. Whenever I saw them, they were laughing and smiling...like they knew a great joke. The kids loved seeing them, and Jeffrey went and worked all day with them. They are great workers. It makes me miss my Ray family that I don't seeing nearly enough.

the rest...

Oh, and the other reason I am so awesome...yesterday Katie puked and when she came out of the bathroom, she told me the lid was closed. So I got to clean up puke and let me tell you..IT WAS EVERYWHERE!! And, my bra broke, like completely died. I have not had a chance to go get one...so I am braless. Yep...AWESOME!!!

Awesomeness

Yes it is a word. I am so glad that I am so very awesome. This morning I decided that I wanted to finally try my hand at Manicotti (No this is not a cooking blog...I am just in a cooking mood) so I had homemade sauce cooking and Manicotti filling prepped before 8 am this morning. I was going good and strong, and then the realtor called and said someone wanted to see the house at 6:30..okay, then Savannah started shivering. Great, she got what Katie had. So about 1pm I was on a roll and the realtor called again and said another person wanted to come see it at 3:30...it is a blessing...pray it will sell soon. But then I went into overload. The children got watermelon for breakfast and lunch. They were in the car when I was mopping the floor. So we left the house at 3 and didn't get home until 7:30 tonight to finish making the manicotti. The house is clean, but I am a little off with a sick baby, and Mike's brothers coming tomorrow, and a whole day with nothing done as planned. Oh the joys of life.
