So behind

I just started this thing and already I can't keep up. It's been a busy few weeks with Bruce gone during the week and me gone for the weekends. A few more days to go and we'll get back to normal.

Toto, we aren't in Kansas anymore

But we are fixing to be ...

My mom and I are off to KS for the weekend so we can attend my niece's wedding shower this weekend. I can't believe my niece is old enough to be getting married. It's always a little bit stange that I'm just starting to raise my kids and my older sister has empty nest syndrome with her daughter getting married and the rest off to college. And she's not that much older. She just started early and I started late, ok real late.

Bruce will have the girls for the weekend. He'll do great. I'm so lucky that he doesn't mind (at least he doesn't seem to) giving me a break now and then.

I love angel food cake

I've been working on my life list (I'll save that for another day) and it got me to thinking about angel food cake. I love angel food cake but for the life of me I can't seem to bake one. I even tried one from a box (gasp) and it was just that - gasping. I thought when I got my Kitchen Aid mixer that I'd be able to do it but no such luck. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong but I'll keep trying.

P.S. Girls slept in this am. Almost 8 before I heard a peep. ;)

Opposite Sleep

Why is it that when you need to be somewhere fairly early your kids sleep late and when you have no where to be they wake up early? We had to be at the flu clinic fairly early this am and I had to wake my youngest up. We have no where to be early in the am, I pretty much bet you they will wake early. We'll see...

5 Things You May Not Know About Me

1. I want to go on an African Safari someday (the camera kind).
2. If I wasn't married to my DH and if George Strait wasn't married to his DW, I would so be his groupie (and I'm sure Lex would be right there with me).
3. I'm scared to death of pigeons. I was attacked by some in Holland when I was a teenager.
4. I played high school soccer in Germany. Even though we were terrible, I got red carded.
5. I have lived in my present city for 10 years. It's the longest I've lived anywhere.
