who knew....

that i would be almost packed for our vacation to missouri a day early?!?  not me, that's for sure!  we leave to go to springfield saturday morning before the sun even thinks about getting up and i am just about packed! woohoo!  i came home this evening, set up all the bills to be paid throughout the next week, packed mine, rich's and the boys clothes and even set up the alarm company with my mom's information since she decided to set off the alarm last time she houses-sat hahah...  go me and stuff :)  tomorrow i have a ton to do at the office so that my backup isn't left with a giant mess and we are doing our monthly feed/worship with the homeless tomorrow evening with Mercy Street.. then it's home to bed and up and at 'em... our goal is to be on the road no later than 2:30 am... crazy, yes.. but the kids sleep the majority of the way so my sanity stays in tact!

oh and aunt linda, i hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell out of your chair... 2 blog updates in the same month in less than a week... it's a record!!!

Niece of the year

Well, today Matthew & Jeremiah graduated from high school...  Kind of hard to believe that time has flown by like it has!  Well, after the graduation we all met at a restaurant and had a very nice lunch.  While there, Aunt Linda approached me and I knew exactly why!  I had been neglecting this blog again... Well, when we were getting ready for everyone to leave, Aunt Jerri had handed out all of her graduation favors and Aunt Linda didn't get one... Being the sweet niece I am, I gave her the one's that I had, therefore getting a pass on not updating like I should and therefore winning niece of the year LOL

In other news, baseball season is over.. thank goodness, momma needs a break!  Erik is now an 8th grader *sigh* and Mikey will be hitting 3rd grade in the next school year... as much as I love them growing up, I wish it would slow the hell down!!!
