Hotel Shower Curtains

I've been introduced to Hotel Shower Curtains.
Did you know that you can get a hotel shower curtain at Home Depot?
I didn't know that there was such a thing!
My brother's girlfriend, Stephanie, told us about these!
They are mildew resistant!!!
No more bleaching the plastic shower liner or throwing it away!
Do you have a hotel shower curtain?
Does your regular shower curtain get ALL FUNKY????
Go to Home Depot!

The Days of the South....

This weekend we took the boys to the Civil War reenactment in town.
We had a great history lesson!
(Actually, I learned that I do NOT know that much about the Civil War! I wasn't very good in History!)
I felt like I was visiting one of my favorite scenes in Sweet Home Alabama!
This man was cookin up something good. He didn't invite us to stay for dinner...he barely said "Hello." Old fart!
We visited with a man who had a really big gun! He was VERY friendly and VERY talkative!
We learned ALL about ammunition and gun powder and sharp things that you attach to the end of the gun. You know, boy stuff!!! Blook, guts and killin!
I found myself shopping for a new outfit!
What do you think of my bonnet?
I knew that you would just LOVE it!!!
Off to find me a dress now!
Do you think one of these will do?

The canons have been shaking our house for 3 days now!

This woman was washing dishes in a pan.
Could you imagine really living like this?

We watched a blacksmith make some tools! This was very interesting!

We watched drunk men clean their gun and sing a little song!

And they all road off into the sunset!
Yee~haw!!!!
It really was a beautiful day!

Weight Watchers....Blah...Blah...Blah!!!!

OK people....back to Weight Watchers I go!!!
This is soooooo depressing! I can't believe I'm having to go back!
Back in 2004, after I had Peyton I joined WW and had great success! I lost 28 pnds. and kept it off for 2 yrs. I'm not sure what has happened the past 2 yrs. Half of my weight has slowly crept back on!
You would never know that my skinny little butt was a size 0 in high school! I had to buy little girl Rockies...no kidding! (Yes, I wore Rockies back in the day! I had every color!) What happened?
So, Monday night I went and bought my last 1/2 gallon of Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip
icecream and it's all gone! I savored every bite! I've been eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!
Once I join...I'm serious!!!
Boo~Hoo!!!
That means no firey hot Cheetos!!!
I'm going to have withdrawals!!!
I usually pout for the first 2 wks. and then I'm good!!!
So...bear with me!
Off to my first meeting and to weigh in!!
Yippeee!!!

A Sonic Blessing!


I have a sweet little story to share with you.
Today I treated the boys to Sonic drinks after school.
I pull up to pay and the little drive thru girl says....
"The lady in front of you bought your drinks. She said she didn't know you...she just wanted to bless you today."
How cool is that?
There really are good people in this crazy world.
It was a great lesson for all of us!
A lesson of giving, putting others first & showing God's love!
On the way home, we prayed that God would BLESS that thoughtful lady!
I can't wait to pass the blessing on and bless someone with Sonic drinks!
It was such a HAPPY HOUR!!!!

Rebound that basketball!!!

This is our first season for playing and coaching Upwards basketball.
My husband says it is VERY difficult teaching 4 ADHD five yr.old boys how to play basketball. (This is coming from an ADHD coach!)
This past Saturday was VERY comical! Watching Auburn chase the boys around trying to tell them what to do. Little boys running of the court during the game to give mom a kiss or get a drink of water! Little boys trying to dribble and the ball gets the best of them! At one point, I was yelling....Defense Peyton! The only problem was that our team was Offense!!! I thought my lovely husband was going to KILL me or ask me to leave! I shut up and let him coach!
He ended the game by saying, " I'm off to get the whiskey!"
Peyton says his job in the game is to guard!
Forget dribbling and shooting....he seriously thinks his main job is to GUARD only!
It's sooooo funny!!!
When the ball is passed to him....he ducks!!!
We have LOTS of learning to do!
More guarding!!
More guarding!
(yawn!) "Could you please just get on with it COACH?"

Peyton picking out his game star!
We may have lots of learning to do, BUT...
he's my SUPER Star!!!
So is my husband for attempting to COACH!!!

What a NIGHT!!!!!

Last night, I was fortunate enough to have a girl night during the Superbowl!!!
I have no interest in football...what so eva!!!
I think if I understood it, it would be a different story!
You would never know that I dated the star football player all through HS because I'm CLUELESS!!!
So, Brandy and I took Denise to Olive Garden and the movies for her BIRTHDAY!!!
The birthday girl blowing out her cheap dessert!!! HA!
This was the birthday girls dessert!
A cup full of Andes mints!
?????
What? No cheesecake? No brownie?
Can we say.....RECESSION?????
After dinner, we went to see Bride Wars! Have you seen it?
Very cute movie!
Great chick flick to watch during the Superbowl!
Our favorite line in the movie was when Kate Hudson's fiance called her a....
tall, attractive, hot SMURF!!!
OMG!
I don't know why we thought this was so funny....BUT, it was!!!
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!
