Wow! I love Technology

More than I love technology, I love when I figure out how it works all by myself!
Yay me!

I just figured out today, how to add other pages to my blog...I am so behind the times I know! But bare with me as I play with them and try to find a direction for them to be put to good use.

Be sure to check back soon to see what's going on!

What are you wearing?

My fashion sense has changed a lot throughout the years, and mostly based on need. By that I mean, it has evolved with my ever changing lifestyles.

High school was basically jeans, sweatshirts, I believe I had a silk shirt at one time...it was blue. Awesome. And tennis shoes. Pretty sure I owned some sort of Guess something or Girbaud as they were THE hot brands in high school. But my most worn ( and probably most $$$) article was my cheer uniform. It was worn probably twice a week, sometimes more. Think "Cheerios" on Glee.

In college, it was all ripped jeans, flip flops, tiny sweaters, anything and everything from Abercrombie and Fitch. And to add some "variety," anything Chi Omega or ENMU, especially ENMUfootball (often seen sporting #44), related.

My first job out of college was not teaching like I was supposed to do, it was at Dillard's. I had to wear slacks and blazers...all the time...pregnant. NOT FUN. But slowly started to build up my "grown up" wardrobe.

When I started my career in the business world, I had to put away my flip flops and ripped jeans , and don my heels, button down tops and slacks. I loved dressing up everyday, I even miss it. But I always felt like I was playing "grown up."

Now in another season of my life, I am finding dust on my heels, and hanger creases in my slacks. I have pulled the ripped jeans off the shelf only to find them more fragile than ever, and well my favorite flip flops from college broke.

NOW WHAT DO I WEAR?! What does being a grown up look like at this stage? Maybe I need to submit myself to What Not to Wear but I really don't want them to tell me 30+ year old shouldn't be wearing ripped jeans or sweats.

Oh well, it will be an on going quest to find my new fashion sense!

Leave a comment and tell me, What's your favorite outfit?

Love and Laundry

This week's post is a song that I can releate to on every level. Wanted to share it with you!


Song and Lyrics by Point of Grace

"Here is go again it's another messy morning
Walk around the clothes that are covering the floor and
Take my Kiss and coffee to go
Then put on my mascara while Im driving down the road
I thought that I could do it all
Turns out I was crazy
Man, I need an iphone and a cleaning lady
We haven't had a date night in what seems like forever
It might take a miracle to get myself together

Oh I wish that there were more than
24hours in a day
I haven't found it yet but there's gotta be a way
And I keep on praying that
I can get everything done
And still have time for love
And a load of laundry

I'd sure liek teo relax laying in a bubble bath
But then I'd have toe clearn the tub and really who's got
time for that
There goes my day dream Im just wishful thinking
Oh shoot Im running late, I gotta make it to a meeting

Ive been waiting for this moment all day, just you and me
The lights are low, next thing I know
We're both drifting off to sleep

Kicking Back

This is me right now at 8:19 am. I am putting my feet up and enjoying my coffee while I post this up. As a side note, I love my sweats and flip flops, also my chipped nail polish that desperately needs to be redone. Not on the list of things to do....

It has been a busy but wonderful week. Spring is in full swing here in Texas and we are LOVING it! Our grass always looks great this time of year, we mow it, cut it, nurture it...and then summer comes and its too hot to do all those things, poor lawn.

So here's a week in recap.

Monday my daughter got her first cavities filled. I was sick with worry over it. All my experiences at the dentist at that age still haunt my nightmares. Dad took her in and and sent the worry-crazed mom play by play text messages. Thirty minutes later they were finished. Much to my surprise, she was in NO pain. They didn't even numb her mouth up, just a little gas through the "princess sniffer" and she was good to go. Wow! So impressed with dentistry these days.

Tuesday I had the opportunity to get back to the gym. Right before #3 came along, I was full swing training for a triathlon. Running, swimming, and cycling everyday. Yes, EVERYDAY! So, this week I decided it was time to don the swimsuit and get a few laps in. Was so excited, that I had not lost too much fitness, and practically picked up the laps I was doing before pregnancy. I can't wait to get back in the pool, will hopefully start riding my bike to the gym, and get two of the three.

Frozen yogurt palooza! We have had an onslaught of frozen yogurt places open in in town in the last couple months. Seriously, how many do we need. Currently we have three, and one of them opening a second location. People flock to these shops and lines run out the door. Everyone can be heard saying "Why didn't I think of this!" We got to try out one of the newer ones this week, the interior was uber cool, and flavors were light and fresh. We will be back!

The rest of the week has been filled with running kids to and from practices and Dr appointments. Paying bills and of course the never ending slew of laundry. My days as a stay at home mommy feel busier than most days at the office did!

Amid all the hustle and bustle of this week, I have got to share some great moments. My lil punkin Derek is a funny boy and loves to laugh at mommy. We laughed together a lot this week. Baby giggles and squeals are the best! The weather has been so beautiful I took the boys (sad Kasey was in school) on a little picnic lunch. Any energy that can be ran off is great! And I have got to watch my daughter be cool and mature at some things she was apprehensive about.

So cliche, they are growing up too fast, but I am so glad I am here to witness these moments and share with them. I love spring and all the newness to things it brings (hahaha I'm a poet)!

The accident

This weekend was a dear friends birthday party for her sweet one year old. All three of my kiddos were invited, and were so excited to attend. They love parties. My friends family has a trampoline that the kids were most excited about, we don't have one, nor will we ever, so this was an extra special treat for them. I don't know how many of you know the game, "crack the egg," but its a tramp game that you take turns sitting down, crossing your legs and holding them tight while another jumper tries to "break you open" with a forceful jump. The kids were all playing this game having a good time, (do you see where this is going yet?) all the parents had an eye on them, but then again, all it takes is just one second. I turned around...and heard my child screaming. Then I saw the blood. My heart dropped out. That's all. I ran to him to see what had happened. My daughter, the little mommy, was screaming worse than he was...she was so scared. It's amazing as a mom how fast we can change gears, you are so afraid, but yet somehow a rational calm came over me. We had a busted lip and bleeding teeth. Poor baby just wanted to go home, so we loaded up and headed home for daddy to take a look at, and calling the dentist along the way. When we got home my husband is looking him over and asked him, "What happened? I thought you were Superman!" Dillon replied, "I didn't wear that shirt today..." Too finish up the story we are dealing with three broken roots, hoping and praying for a miracle that they heal on their own! Moral of the story, make sure you always have your Superman shirt on!
