Questions

Did you know...

*that I got new glasses?


*that I used the "gritty" effect on this picture with Picnik?

*that I always take a self-portrait in front of my Nester-like plate wall?

*that I have 12 days of school left?

*that I couldn't handle 13 more days of school because the kids are driving.me.crazy?

*that I have a giveaway for John Deere lawn toys going on right here?

*that I cringe every time I see another wedding, graduation, and shower invitation in the mail?

*that I do not plan on spending even one minute of my summer on silly committees and classes?

*that I DO plan on taking the kids to daycare one day a week? I call those my mental health/clean the house/shopping days.

*that I am out of wine but luckily have a bottle of vodka and orange juice?

*that my son graduates from preschool on Wednesday?

*that this is my new ringtone and I love it?

*that my sister got a swanky new iPhone and wanted that ringtone but couldn't get it on iTunes so I stole it? Neener.

*that my sister is moving an hour and a half closer to us? Yay! Let's hope we get several baby-sitting sessions in before she starts popping out babies of her own!

*that in a few short days I will have nothing to watch on TV? Amazing Race? Over. DWTS? Finals this week. American Idol? Winner chosen this week. Bones? Season finale last Thursday. What's a girl to do?

*that it is now time to get the kids fed, bathed, and in bed so I can pour myself that cocktail?

  1. Great photo! Love the new glasses, very cute!

    I am having bittersweet feelings about the season finales, but then again the Bachelorette starts on Monday :)

  2. I'm so trying to figure out what I'll watch. Big Brother will be on in July, and Next Food Network Star starts the first week of June (Noah is excited for both!) That's all of the good stuff I know of. I hate May sweeps!

  3. I have only 2 full days, 2 half days, and one teacher work day left. If I had any more, I'd shoot myself. Like you, my kids are driving me crazy! Love 'em, but it's time for 'em to G.O.

    Congrats on your son's graduation. I love preschool graduations. They are always so cute.

    I have a summer-related contest going on at my blog. Check it out. There isn't any alcohol involved, but there WILL be Koozies in the prize. :)

  9. First of all, love the glasses and how they look on you! Fun photo.

    Secondly, love the ring tone! Hilarious. And I really want a swanky iPhone like your sister even if I can't have that ringtone with it.

    Glad your sister is moving closer! I wish mine was. She moved to California two years ago and I MISS HER!!!

    And I'm so sad all these shows are ending right now. I loved The Amazing Race.

  20. Looking pretty swanky there, lady!

    Love the ringtone. My son bought a very inexpensive doohickey that allows him to turn any song into a ringtone; it's awesome.

    Fifteen days for me. I'm so glad you're going to be taking a day for yourself every week; the kids AND you will benefit. Hang in there! :)

  21. Congrats on the new glasses and 12 days of school left!

    Once Idol is finished, hubs and I look forward to So You Think You Can Dance. Its the next best thing to all the good shows (and its also really good) and it helps us through the summer slump.

  25. I.do.not.miss.teaching. Ever. Still occasionally have nightmares.

    I'm also thankful that I won't have to deal with the weddings and showers for awhile. Everyone except my brother is taken care of, and kids are a long way off. And I don't see him making any life changing steps anytime soon.

    You should definitely hit up the sister for free babysitting. You need some nights out sometime.

    Hope you have a great week. It won't be long now!
