1. Jimmy Buffett came to our Margaritaville last Thursday to give a concert. The only way to get tickets were to win them on a radio station. We knew which way he was coming in and we did see him arrive in a white Lexus. The car drove him to a back door and he got out wave for a second and went in. Also, we saw him leave the same way. 2. I could hear him sing outside my store. He sang "It is Five O'clock Somewhere" just a little bit after five. Needlessly to say his concert killed our business that day!

1. Darren and Caleb are off fishing this morning with Darren's mom and step dad. Grandma bought Caleb a fishing pole for his birthday that she wants to give him today even though his birthdays not for another three weeks. 2. Dakota and I have spent the morning hanging around the house. She got eggs and toast for breakfast and has spent the better part of the morning playing out back. 3. I have cleaned most the house (wasn't much, lol) and fold and put up three loads of laundry. I have another two going now. I think I'm begining to see the end of the laundry tunnel! If I'm done mopping floors before Darren and Caleb get home I'm going to sweep the driveway again and let Dakota out front with the water hose.

1. Today is Flyboy's 32nd Birthday and we're having a cookout this afternoon. 2. We're having family and friends over to celebrate and I just got all my errands done. 3. I got him a suitcase holder (like in a hotel room) for our bedroom, several of his favorite movies on DVD that he didn't have, and a gift certificate to Best Buy (he has to buy a television for his crash pad in Atlanta). 4. I have a bigger surprise for him after everyone leaves tonight, though, that I think will be lots better than those.

1. Well I'm here pulling an all nighter to get this darn proposal finished. Hubby has agreed to keep me company which is so sweet, but I know how tired we will be tomorrow. 2. He's downstairs printing something off on the other computer so I thought I'd slip in and say hello....I really should be typing a preamble. 3. Its been cold here the last few days, so much so that we have the heat on again in the house. I hope tomorrow is bright, sunny and hot. I need to stop paying a gas bill. 4. My estranged brother came for a visit this weekend. I am working hard at building bridges. This time last year I would have wanted to throw him over the bridge, so I am getting a better perspective on life. I even bbqed salmon. 5. My middle son is trying his drivers' permit license this week. I have mixed emotions about it and so does he. Tonight he reminded my husband and I how much he really prefers to look at he scenery than the road. Oh dear are we in trouble!!!!! Fondly Wappy

1. Ack Wap, I've been going nuts the last week with the thought of mine turning 10, you've got two driving! 2. Darren and Caleb had a good time this morning. They caught 17 fish between them and Darrens mom and step dad. 3. The last couple times they've gone they've given the fish to our neighbors, so today they ran over to my sisters and dropped them off there. Darren will occassionally keep one or two for him and Kota, but there's no way we'd finished off 17 fish, lol! 4. Dakota scared the crap out of me a few minutes ago. I ran to the bathroom during a commercial break and halfway through peeing I hear Dakota start screaming, "STOP!" In the half second it took me to fly off the toilet, her screaming had gotten more frantic and when I ran in to her room (still pulling up my pants) I found her sitting in the middle of her bed, wide awake and crying hysterically. She told me that Caleb wouldn't stop shaking her bed and he was kicking her. Now at that moment Caleb was sound asleep in his own bed and nowhere near her but she wouldn't listen when I tried to tell her he was not there. I finally got her calmed down and realizing she was just dreaming. I left her sleeping in her bed but it was only a couple minutes before she was out here crying again so now she's sleeping on the couch. 5. I played Yahtzee with Kota today and she kicked my butt twice. I only had to fudge the numbers once to make that happen, lol. Played Scrabble with Darren while dinner was cooking. Then we played Uno with both kids, they each won one game. It was a nice, quiet afternoon/evening at home. 6. My neighbor asked me earlier today if I'd watch her two youngest kidlets (boys four and a half, the little ones 18 months.) I've watched him several times before, but the only time I've watched her was when neighbor lady went to pick the kids up at school or drop them off so it was only for a few minutes. She usually ignores me completely. She doesn't cry or fuss, just pretends I'm not there, lol. I'm not quite sure how she'll take to me watching her for several hours!

1. It is finals week this week. 2. I am giving finals at 7:50 am today and tomorrow! BLECH! 3. Today's class pretty much demanded that I bring bagels. WHAT GALL! I'll probably bring them anyway, but I would have NEVER asked a professor to bring food for a final. 4. They are getting an extra nasty page on their final in exchange for the bagels. (Actually the page was going on, anyway!) 5. I hope they say thank you. 6. Got the pool open, pump on, water full....in one day I have it turned from a crappy (and I mean CRAPpy) brown to lovely emerald green. Hopefully it will be warm enough so that I can get in and vacuum. That will clear it up. I have to scrub the water line on the sides this year because the cover came part way off during a tornado. I had a bunch of bricks fall in. SLIMY, stinky, stinky, stinky! 7. I hope that I started the pool up right. The pump is twice as forceful as last year, so I'm not sure that I've got it going through the filter correctly. AHHHhhhhh, bring on the summer!

1. Now I want a bagel. An everything bagel with cream cheese. 2. Good luck with your pool, Marm. I know it has driven you crazy in the past. 3. It is going to be the slowest week we have had in the library since January. It's SOL test week and that's all people are worried about. 4. I haven't done a lick of work today. 5. I'm very ashamed. 6. It has been pouring rain for over 24 hours, but we need it. 7. I think I forgot to put on deodorant this morning. I guess I better shower again before the orgy I have planned for tonight. Nothing ruins a good sexual encounter like smelly armpits. 8. I'm joking. About the deodorant, not the orgy. HA HA HAHAHA. I crack myself up.

1. It's nice to see you back around Hermi. BTW you crack me up! 2. I'm hoping that Skootz is doing OK. 3. It is so beautiful here today. Not a cloud in the sky. 4. The heat never bothered me with my last pregnancy but if today is any indication, I'm in for it this time. 5. I sat outside at lunch for 20 minutes with my book and now I have a headache and feel sick. 6. Went for a ultrasound again on Friday and the tech said girl again. Maybe now that it's twice I'm sorta starting to believe. 7. Baby is only weighing in at about 3.5 lbs so far. Just a little small. 8. This weekend hubby is going a a dirt biking excersion. I will be spending Mothers Day with my mom, aunt and cousin. 9. Did I say it's hot here?

1. We're all moved in to the new place and i'm very happy with it! 2. The neighbors are talkers though- I now know all about the other neighbors, his knee surgery, his last 3 vacations, the woman who lives next door and how she only plants perennials because she hates gardening but likes flowers, the oriole feeder he wants to put out, who his mechanic is, blah blah blah 3. Nice people but wow. I tried to get away for 40 minutes! 4. My car is all goofy- when I turn my headlights on, my brake lighst alsi light up so it looks like I'm driving around with my brakes on all the time. Car-X wasn't sure and the dealership of course wants $40 just to tell me what's wrong. 5. Tim has all his tools here now so I'm hoping maybe he can figure something out. 6. I've been trying to call work to tell them I have to leave tonight before I need my headlights. Haha. 7. Their phone is always busy! I wonder if we have a lot of call-ins today. 8. It's been beautiful out lately!!!! I love spring!!! 9. I don't know what else to write about. 10. This is my tenth fact: I've become obsessed with drinking carrot juice in the past week or so.

1. Just popping in in the rare moments i get of peace and quiet. 1.1 I really miss spending time here. but I go back to work in two weeks and I will be spending a lot more time at the clubhouse. hee hee. Hard worker. 1.2 DD1 will be three in a couple of months and DD2 is two and a half months old and so pretty. 1.3 I have been going to weight watchers now for a couple of weeks and I have already lost 8.6 pounds. Yay for me. It has really helped with the post partum. 1.4 I have been wargodding my house like crazy lately, well every time I get hungry or the munchies I start cleaning. My house is pristine now. 1.5 We were invited to a wedding in Monterey and DH and I are really looking forward to getting out of town and to the coast even if it's just for the day. 1.6 DH has been a striper fishin fool lately and we have been eating a ton of striper. It is so good, so light, and so filling. I can't get enough. 1.7 I miss cheeseburgers, but the sacrifice is worth it. 1.8 I'll do an update when I get back to work 1.9. Shhhh. DD2 is just falling back to sleep.

1. What a day at school today. The HS kids in this particular district can be totally unruly and they know that there are NEVER consequences enforced. They get away with anything, laugh at you when you tell them to stop talking and get to work, and they just don't care. 2. I had a freakin empty soda bottle hit my head as the kids walked out when the bell rang one hour. No one I could catch in the hall admitted to knowing who it was. I didn't have a class afterward so I took the bottle down to the office to talk to them about it. Nothing will be done- they got a new assistant principal that tries to enforce rules and consequences but the principal doesn't back him at all. 3. I'm looking forward to being at the middle school tomorrow- the kids are still pretty obedient there and the staff enforces punishments for any name I write down. The teacher told me today- any name that is written down and the student WILL NOT be allowed to go to the class trip to the Brewers game at the end of the week.

1. I'm so tired tonight. I have no idea why I'm still up other than out of habit. 2. The kids have been doing the testing at school last week and this week. Today Dakota brought home a practice math test they'd done yesterday. Her teacher graded them and was so shocked with Dakota's score she sent it home for us to sign along with a note of concern because Dakota doesn't do poorly in math! I've never seen her get under a 90% on a math test or homework. Asked her what happened and she told me she found the whole thing boring so didn't bother paying attention as the teacher read the questions. LOL, considering she pretty much guessed her way through the whole thing she did pretty good getting a 64%. 3. The last couple of days her moods been a wee bit bad. She's been terribly grumpy and moody, picking fights with Caleb and spending more time in her room than anywhere else. Today she was much better, very sweet and helpful. I'm hoping that continues, lol. 4. My mom came over today to tell me she needs help. She wants to know if Caleb's old enough to do yard work. Well he's done it here for years, raking up leaves, picking stuff up, weeding, etc. She wants to know if we think he's old enough to use the lawn mower. She wants to pay him to come over and do it once a week. What we've pretty much decided for now is that he'll go over and do the type of work he does here at her house and she'll do the mowing and weed whacking. How old are kids when they start that type of work?

1. I took today off because I am leaving later this afternoon to go up to Lexington, VA for the Relay for Life. I'm very excited! 2. I did 11 miles at the last Relay. I'm hoping to do a lot more this time. I'm in much better shape. 3. I keep meaning to get off my butt and go for a short run, but it's so nice just sitting here in the sun, picking up a wireless signal. 4. I am having a blast on My Space. I know there are such horror stories about it, but I am being careful and I have met some really cool people in my area, both men and women. 5. Hmmm, what else. I'm just happy. Life is good. Have a great weekend, TVCH!

5.3 I think she is serious. You have mentioned it before, haven't you Mocha? I PROMISE I am being careful. I even ran the whole thing by my therapist. I am meeting people in very public places and I am not giving out my address, phone number, or where I work. Thanks for your concern. I appreciate it.
