My Baby is 7!!
Happy Birthday my little angel. She loves that her birthday falls on Valentine's Day. She loves hearts and all things pink. You are now 7 and I can't believe how big you are. We had a great celebration with family and friends.

Life is so Crazy!
I can't seem to keep up! I wanted to post pictures of my little E on her birthday. I have the pictures in my camera, but I haven't downloaded them. I even took pictures of A at her Band O'Rama concert last weekend. I haven't uploaded those either. Where does the time go? Why can't I get it together?
I feel like I am drowning in chores, work, and STUFF. I use to be so organized. What happened to me? With every season I use to change decorations accordingly. That doesn't happen as much anymore. I do it, but it seems rushed and last minute.
My husband seems to have an idea, but I'm not sure if I can agree all the way. He tells me my priorities have changed. Have they?
* I know I exercise at least 5 times a week and that takes up at least 60-75 minutes of my time each time I do.
* I work full time...I am gone about 9 hours.
* I like to sleep at least 8 hours.
* I love Facebook. blogging, and TV time.
* I spend time with my kids.
* Cleaning, laundry, picking up, and it keeps repeating over and over. (hubby helps...he is awesome)
* I pay the bills and keep the bank account up to date.
Which reminds me I hung up this really cool picture frame and it has been up on the wall since December and the photos that are in it are the ones that are from the company to show how cute pictures can be. I get teased about it all the time. Who are those people? Blah blah...
And....I still haven't put my children's school pictures in the frames to replace last years pictures. I haven't even handed them out to Grandparents....Seriously what is wrong with me????

My goals:
- Download pictures and post them.
- Change photos and order updated pictures of my family.
- Plan my son's 10th birthday party soon. It is in one month.
- Keep up with my grading at school. It gets overwhelming at times. We can't have anyone help us due to confidentiality.
Wish me luck...I will need it.

Sugar is SO Sweet
Sugar Overload!!
We are having our Valentine Party at school today. I normally don't eat any of the treats because that is just me. I just refrain and drink my water or Diet Coke and call it a day.
But for some reason today I couldn't resist all of the sweet treats. First of all one of our office ladies had a big birthday celebration today. The big 60 for her. So there were all kinds of goods in the office today. I HAD to have a piece of this chocolate butterfinger cheesecake desert with caramel. I LOVED IT and actually felt no guilt. From that point on I blew it...so why not enjoy the candy, soda, and ice-cream that the kids are having.
I enjoyed a couple mini-York Peppermint Patties after my salad I ate at lunch. I had a root beer float with real root beer not DIET. I did buy light ice-cream so now the leaded root beer offset the calories RIGHT??
I will work this all off tomorrow at my work out class. Because if I don't I will be NUTS! Oh and I signed up for the Trek Triathlon Women's Series this summer!! YES!! So excited.
Tomorrow is a special day...not because it is Valentine's Day, but it is my youngest daughter's birthday. We have a big day planned. I will post some pics of her tomorrow. I am feeling so sad that my baby is going to be 7. She is such a big girl now.

Fall From Grace...NOT
How do you take a great workout and turn it into a call for 911. Well, that is how I felt yesterday...I feel like a complete idiot if you will.
I am in really good condition. I do many different type of exercises. Yesterday in class we set up the boards to do some jumping squat type of thing. It is great. You jump up on your board and repeat for a series of reps. Usually no big deal...I actually am really good at it until my mishap.
Here I am jumping onto my board and if I were in slow motion or something. I miss my step, kick the board off the risers, fall into the guy in front of me (yes he caught me), I walk out of the work out room because I am a bit embarrassed, but also my foot is starting to hurt.
I walk out and within 30 seconds I've got the entire class in the hall. First, one girl tells me to sit and the next thing you know I've got a ball under my foot (they want me to elevate), they take off my shoe, the instructor comes running out with a first aid kit. She was looking for an ice pack.
No luck, so a couple of girls run to the desk to get an ice pack because apparently they are medical doctors and I broke my foot. They are seriously shouting "It's swelling!" Do you have your cell phone? We need to call someone because you can't drive home.
During this madness, I am trying to convince this team of medical professionals that I am fine and that it is sore and I will be fine. I just need to walk it off. NO! You can't...it could be broken. I think we need to have someone walk you to your car. Thank goodness it isn't your driving foot. They are telling me that I should go get it x-rayed. I am thinking if it was broken it would hurt very badly and it would of been black and blue and swollen.
I convince them that I can walk...because one of the guys in the class said he would carry me out. OMG!! I am thinking at this point. People I AM FINE!! Just sore and feeling mighty dumb.
At least I got my hour in, I missed the toning portion because I couldn't of stayed if I wanted too, they were rushing me out of there as quick as possible.
I get home and hubby is wondering why I am home early...he gets a good laugh out of it. I tell my sisters about this because I tell them I hope I don't run into anyone while we are out to lunch and shopping. And wouldn't you know it...I did run into someone from class.
I tell her that is was blown WAY out of proportion and I am fine. It is just a little sore. She is actually one of my friends so she understood about how these nut jobs went way overboard and made it like an ER seen or something. She told me some of the comments were "Looks like her 5K season is done for." WTF? I have a season now? I am some sort of pro runner? Seriously people.
Today, my sister tells me that she ran into someone from my workout class at church and she is telling her how concerned everyone was and wondering how I am...blah blah. She tells her that I am fine and am so embarassed and that everyone turned it into a huge deal. The girl says it was a huge deal and that any one of us could of fell because it is such a crazy exercise and when the class is that packed, it gets nuts.
I am going back to this class Monday night. I am feeling funny about what everyone might ask. I am not in the mood to answer questions or have people be medical experts. I am just fine. In fact, I worked out today. Yes, my foot may a little sore in the spot where I biffed it, but it will be fine.

Party Time!
I was tagged by my sister Laurie at Newly-Wedded Wife to do a photo tag.
Here are the rules:
1) Go to the 4th folder in my computer where you store your pictures.
2) Pick the 4th picture in that folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same.
This photo if from a year ago at my work holiday party. In this picture is my very good friend Renee. (far left) She teaches second grade with me. My other wonderful friend Joanne. She is our school nurse. We like to call her Nurse Ratchet! And of course me. It was a very fun night to let loose with co-workers. We drank, played Guitar Hero, Danced, and sang Karaoke. It was a great night. This is a photo from our then unfinished basement...it is now done. :)
I tag Shelly , Carrie, Kat, and Kristie.

Radio Rants and Purses
I love listening to the morning radio. I love certain DJs in the morning because they crack me up. I find myself laughing out loud in the car on some days. Until today when....
I am driving my son and 2 neighbor girls to school for a student council meeting. (They are 8 and 9 years old) First station is talking about Michael Phelps and his pot smoking, bong picture..I quick turn the station before I get too many questions and then BAM I hear Sex Toys...my face is heating up...switch again and hear DJs talking about cocaine on actors and another station playing the rant and rave by Christian Bale yesterday (I think he was swearing every other word), the next station was a Nickelback song that had all kinds of rude things and swearing. I gave up and turned the damn radio off. "Why did you do that?" I think we can just not worry about it B because we are almost at school.....Thank goodness.
I guess I never realized how much the radio was R rated because I don't pay much attention because I normally don't have kids in my car at that time anymore. On student council days I will stick with Kids Bop or Radio Disney.
Last week I was tagged by Just a Girl to do a Bag MeMe. Go check out her blog...she takes cute pictures of her kids and loves running just like me. :)
I finally am going to post my photo. I have a knock off Kate Spade bag that I bought at a purse party last fall. I think it cost around 50.00, not sure. I really like the bag. It is great for winter and is big enough to hold all of my things and not be too big where I lose things in it. The only thing that bums be out is the tag on the front came off....see why it is a knock off.
1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house. No cheating!
2) I want to know how much it cost:) And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear it.
3) Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your bag.
I tag the following ladies because I love reading their blogs! :)

I Heart Many Things
Obsessions...I have many of them. Here are just a few that are on my mind today....
1. Exercise~ I work out at least 5 days a week. I feel like crap if I don't, so I do and I love it.
2. Facebook~ I can't get enough of it lately. I found this new game called Prolific. It is a live Boggle game. You play with people all over the world. I am so obsessed sometimes I don't even know that my house is a disaster zone some days. It is a 3 minute game in which you try to make as many words as possible. This 3 minute game turns into 1-2 hours of it. I suck at this game because I am either not fast enough at typing or I don't know all of the words that are suppose to be words, plus I have never heard of half of the words that these people make, and they get points for these crazy words. So here I sit playing game after game wanting to win so bad I can't stop. Thank goodness we can't do it at work...Facebook is a banned site.
3. Lately, my skin is breaking out like I am a teenager or something. I have been buying all different kinds of facial cleansers to try and get rid of these yucky pimples that keep coming up. I hate them so I pick at them and then they become worse and then they turn into scabs and then they are red and oh well.....
4. I hope I didn't gross you out with number 3.
5. Not an obsession, but I love, love, love The Bachelor! I like most of the girls like Jillian, Melissa, and Molly. Naomi is beautiful, but don't think she is ready to be the responsible adult. Plus the previews for the next week look crazy with her family. I would be scared of in laws that bury things like that in the yard...yikes what a first impression.
