My sweet Emma made the swim team yesterday.  I am so proud of that girl.  She needed a win.  I don't worry about my sassy little Gracie, but my Emma is so sensitive.  She takes care of her family and friends, is so thoughtful and kind, and would never hurt anyone...

Got a cut/color/mani/pedi/brow wax/makeup done at Capellis today.  First, I have to tell you that Kim at Capelli's is a genius.  I was WAY overdue for a "spruce up." Afterward, I went to work to finish up a few things before we head to Vegas...

I got a call at work yesterday from my husband.  Just so you know, this man is hardly ever grouchy.  You know how there's one person in the relationship who's just a little meaner than the other one?  I know that person is me...but with good reason!

A few years ago, for Gracie's birthday, we decided to get her a lizard.  She had seen a chameleon on one of her shows, and that's what she wanted.  I called PetSmart and asked if they had any.  The nice lady on the phone said no, but she had a waiting list for the next one that came in, and would I like to be on it...

I am playing hooky today.  Grandma is taking Matthew, and the girls are at school.  I am going to Moonlight with three friends...really fun friends!  I NEVER do anything like this.  Fresh powder, time with the girls, a soak in the hot tub, and an icy cold beer are calling my name...

So, we've been planning a fun event every day.  Today was skiing.  Perfect conditions.  A foot of new snow overnight, sunshine, and warm temperatures.  A perfect spring skiing day.  Only one problem...I have been under the weather.  I used to get sick alot, but have taken care of a few medical issues, and haven't been sick since Christmas...

Last year was NOT  a good year for me.  I had major surgery and the flu, and those came after about 2 years of suffering  from some boring problems that I won't bug you with.  Those are the reasons we aren't going on vacation for spring break...

First, let me start by thanking XL Nation for saving so many lives at St. Jude.  Over $75,000 raised in this year's radiothon!  I honestly don't have the words to thank you properly.  Apparently, my daughter didn't have the correct words tonight, either...

Did you squeeze your kids a little extra hard today?  I sure did.  I know that some of those stories are extremely difficult to listen to on the St. Jude Radiothon.  Being a Partner in Hope makes it a little easier, because you feel like you've done something...

Some day, you are going to find me at the bottom of my laundry pile, covered by hundreds of pounds of clothes, towels, sheets, and dirty socks, mumbling something like "laundry...laundry...must do the laundry."  It's my absolute least favorite job...

I had a busy week last week.  Work party on Thursday, and a fundraiser for my kids' school on Friday, "Parents' Night Out."  It was a Footloose Theme.  There was an email campaign to encourage everyone to dress up in 80's garb.  I was THE 80's girl.
