It really is nasty outside tonight...I think all of the parades around here have been cancelled!
It will be just me @ our meet; my hubby is my babysitter...we are all alone in this big city (all of our family members have moved since Katrina) and to be honest I would prefer just us girls!
Kathy it is so nice of you to let Kyle take the car tonight!
Thanks for the advice about resubscribing to a thread!
I just had to let him take the car away from me.
I had filled the coffee pot with beans & water last night, to make a full pot of coffee & set the timer. Expected to get up to some delicious fresh ground & brewed coffee only to coffee dripping everywhere!
I had forgotten to empty the about half pot left in carafe! It dripped down into my three pot drawers inside the wall of the cabinets, seeped through and ran into the grout of the tile. I had to empty everything out & am still waiting for it all to dry to put my kitchen back together.
I hope the rest of your Saturday is better than this morning.
Morning Y'all,
Started my Saturday off in a rotten way.
And it's still yucky outside & I have to get to the drugstore for rx's before they close at 2. I want to go back to bed & pull the covers over my head.
I also scrubbed the walls and windows down with soapy water. I'm a little horrified at how dirty that room had gotten. I'm embarrased to say that we really haven't done anything with it since we bought the house in 2001, and it definitely shows! It was always our "rainy day project", renovating that room. But we're almost there! 
We bought the paint yesterday, which was a very difficult decision. I wanted a color that would blend in with the rest of the house (we have a Caribbean color scheme going 
) but would be ok both for a girl and for us in case we decide to switch rooms with her (which would happen if we have another baby). So the color is called "Gulf Winds" (fitting, I think) and is a sky blue with a hint of green in it. It will look good with pastel girly things. 
But we still have days to go, hopefully the outlook will improve.
It ended @ 12:30 so we drove to Semolina's for lunch. We then came staight home and took a 15 min. nap. We got up and dressed and then left home @ 3 to head to the Hannah Montana concert which started @ 4. It ended @ 6:30 and back home we came. Whew...
Hi guys .... I am finally home! This has been a day...
It started out with us leaving the house @ 6:30 this morning to get to Slidell for DD 1st Gymnastics meet. She did well for her 1st time. She placed 4th (there were 20 kids in her age group). I am so proud of her.
You guys would not believe the number of limo's we saw out there. It was unbelievable.
So once we get home my dd has a complete melt down! I guess she is so tired from today but boy was she acting like a complete BRAT! I sent her to her room and do not wish to see her for a while. (It is so hard having an only child; we give her alot but try to instill values at the same time. She seems so ungrateful sometimes though!)
Well I am pooped so I am about to take a very long hot bath. Have a good night everyone.
Did you guys go to any parades today?
For her 1st meet that is a great job! Terry, I did nothing but make messes today! After this mornings mess, I was getting ready to make cheese grits for dinner & knocked a whole cup all over the kitchen!
How was the concert? Too much little girl screaming to hear Miley/Hannah's singing?
4th place is SUPER!!
Sorry she had a meltdown, but I'm sure that was a long day. My dd was an only child also. And so far it looks like Alexis will be too. I know I had high expectations for my DD & worked hard to avoid bratty behavior.
I'm not doing nearly as well with Alexis. I'm older, I've mellowed & I'm in more of a grandmotherly role, but she spends more of her waking hours in my house than her parents. I'm starting to notice that not cracking down may have some ugly consequences!

Terry - So true. And the amount of "stuff" that the kids have these days is overwhelming to us because we didn't have all of that. I sometimes think that they think they're entitled to it all. All we can do is try and instill the values and morals and pray that we do a good job.
Not feeling very well today, I'd like to just stay in bed. It was one year ago today that I lost my Mom.
to you today! We are here for you. I am sure she is smiling down on you.
to you Kathy!!! Ill be thinking about you today.
for you Kathy.
We saw the Sparta parade downtown last night and ate at Drago's. It was delicious, only thing I have a "funny" stomach, and the chargrilled oysters got me into some trouble. I should know better. Why is it that the stuff that makes food delicious (butter, cream sauce, etc.) is bad for me? I would love to just order whatever I want off a menu, but I just can't happen. I am sorry, just ranting.
The kids went their own way last night. They both saw the Caesar parade with friends. It was odd not having them with us, but kinda nice too.
I think we will go to Barkus today, if I can get everyone up and moving. Ya'll have a great day.
