1.   If I could get away somewhere for the weekend I would go      Sedona  and I would bring      a good book, some healthy snacks, and an overnight bag (you never know) .

2.  Something I often rant about is   cranky customers and customers who don't pay their bill. I mean really people... I send the hubs out late at night to get you cool air when it's deathly hot outside, and then you wanna bitch about the bill, and not pay! Who does that!.

3.  One item I need to have in my fridge at all time is    Fage 0% greek yogurt.

6.  If I could write my own blank it would be      what is your favorite childhood movie   .

7.  My favorite kind of art is      photography . 

thanks...

when time gets you down,
and you feel hope slipping away,
someone comes by
and lifts you straight up
and reminds you how special you are.

Mother's Day

I woke up to a bouquet of beautiful red roses and cards from the hubs and chitlins.

We all went over to Mom's. I hopped in bed with her, and the hubs made us both breakfast in bed.
Coffee, soyrizo and egg burritos, and turkey bacon. YUM!


Then, one of the best things EVER...
Meaghan Smith called my mom and serenaded her over the phone!!!! She sang "Moon River" and it was the most beautiful thing ever. Mom and I cried. Happy tears!! So amazing! 

Then we spent the rest of the day laying out by the pool... relaxing, and sunning. It was a great family day.


I hope every Mama out there had a wonderful Mothers Day!!

thumbs up for being crafty (while sick, lol).

on my mind

2_large

  • i don't blog about my family. about my kids. i partially think that's because i don't want them (their identity) on the internet. but this is my blog. and they are apart of me. a large part of me. i need to work on this.
  • i had such an appreciation for the arts. specifically the performing arts. i want to share that here, more often. 
  • since my dad passed, my mom has become one of my closest friends. i honestly have a lot of fun with her, and i love doing things with her. i love you mama.
  • i miss scrapbooking. i think i should try and make some time for that real soon. maybe even attend a crop at a local scrapbooking store.
  • my mother's day wish list is so long. i wouldn't dare show it, only because there really isn't anything i need, just want. and i'm really trying to weed out the 'want' purchases.
  • speaking of 'want' and 'purchases'... i really want to go shopping with my daughter at the mall. girl days are so much fun, i remember how special they were to me and my mom when i was younger... they still are (we shop quite a bit together). it's been a while, but i'd love to take her out for a day and buy some cute clothes for her. even though she totally trending these days. hehe
  • my little boy is turning 11 in a few days... i don't know how to feel about it. he is still my little boy, just with a big kid wish list (like airsoft guns. lol)
  • the house seriously needs some spring cleaning. anyone wanna volunteer? hehe
