Crazy busy...

day today.

YDD's Field Day is at preschool today. Since she doesn't usually go on Wednesday, I have to go with her. I don't mind - gives me picture taking time. I sure don't know what we should wear. It's going to be 72 today but it's starting out in mid40s. I suspect it won't warm up too quickly so jackets for us.

Then YDD has her regularly scheduled dance class. Then all of us to church supper and then both YDD and ODD have their choir recognition service at church and sing in it. I suspect YDD will pass out sometime today.

Have you tried Kellogg's Special K chocolate delight? Finally cereal that I can live with.

Speaking of breakfast, a brand new bottle of vanilla creamer fell out of the frig this am and busted. I hate ceramic tile. I vote to go back to linoleum. Stuff stood a chance of surviving. I've broken more things on this kitchen ceramic tile than I wish to recall.

Come on...

already. It's April 6th and almost Easter Sunday. It should NOT be sleeting on me on the way to the bus stop.

Last year I bought a sleeveless Easter dress. I didn't get to wear it because it was cold. I was planning on wearing it this year. Doesn't look like I'll get to wear it this Sunday either. You would think I would learn. Hopefully the girls white sweaters still fit so I don't have to make yet another last minute dash for white sweaters before Easter Sunday.

If you believe there is global warming, you ought to come visit. It's more likely to be another Ice Age.

We have to cover up all our trees and plants tonight in the hopes of keeping them alive through yet another late freeze. And this isn't stuff we planted, it's stuff that was already in the ground. We've learned not to plant anything till after tax day. But we can't stop stuff from budding and blooming. I do not want to lose another red maple. If this one dies, that's it.

Big Bugs...

We went to the Botanical Gardens today to check out the Big Bugs. We went with two of our close friends families. We got some cute shots. I got to eat at Clementines and have Southwestern chicken salad and Botanical Garden tea. Worth going just for the tea.

ODD is doing well. Slowly recovering from her surgery. She still has a hard time eating. Hopefully by Monday that will be back to normal so I don't have to worry about school lunch.

Merry Go Round....

Is how life seems to be right now. YDD now has strep and ODD is having surgery Wed. to remove her tonsils because she gets strep so much. I'm praying ODD doesn't come down with it between now and then and that neither DH or I do either. I really don't handle stress well.

Do you know...

the title of Bob Marley's "Every little thing/don't worry about a thing" song? (Without Googling ;O )

This is ODD's recital song and I didn't know the title. Neither did either of the other mom's or DH.

"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!

It snowed...

and quite a bit for Alabama.



YDD forgot all about being upset that ODD was sick and YDD couldn't go sing at church.



ODD finally decided to come out. I only let her stay out for a little while since she is sick. But it never snows here so I couldn't make her stay inside.



I love this picture.



Our "Alabama" snowman.

The more things change...

the more they stay the same.







Different cats and different Barbie rvs and about 30 years apart.

The first photo is my cat Socks that we got when I was six and mine and my sister's Barbie camper. He loved to get in it.

The second photo is our present cat Smokey and my ODDs Barbie hot tub party bus that she got for her birthday from my sister this year.
