Liz- Good luck tomorrow! Remember, this too shall pass.
It's not noisy.. I mean.. it's a vacuum cleaner, but not uber noisy.. it has sensors so it slows down before it's about to his something and you just empty it's lil' container. I love her and have named her Rosie.

Liz - Good luck at the dentist.
Lauren - Rosie - love it. And I'm so totally jealous.
Stacy - Hope you and Elim feel better quickly!!
Katie - Very cool on the camp for Alex. We just signed Ryley up for golf camp (again). I think Ethan is going to camp at Legoland (through our Y). Grace has to choose between dance camp and soccer camp.
Geri - Hope things settle down for you, and Alaina feels better. Good luck with your walk!!
Well, after working on it nearly all day Tuesday, the poker tournament is coming together. We're up over 50 people attending now, and almost 20 raffle/auction items. Carpets and tile got cleaned yesterday, and I'm starting to knock things off the house to-do list. I can't get over how clean and pretty my kitchen tile is now. I keep staring at it. lol

Liz - Hope your class was a good time for ya.
Donna - Yay, for clean tile! I know what you mean. The before and afters are just crazy. You think, really, my grout was that color before?! That one's been on my list too, but holding off for a bit longer. Maybe after monsoon season. Dust, dust, and more dust. Glad to hear that all is falling into place for the upcoming poker tournament. Go lady!
Stacy - Sorry, hope you feel better and neck returns to normal color.
Lauren - I love that you named it Rosie! I'm glad it's working out for you. I know it's a bit hard to bend forward right now, so I know you're in love with it:)
Geri/Jackie - Good luck with your walks:)
Lorena - Promise to stop talking about desserts. So, it's been warm in your area? With the wedding you're attending, is there a reception following (in/outside). I hope that you were able to find that dress okay.
Well, I put us on a waiting list at Phx Children's for August. I still might go with the other place though. Still have to see. We're looking at insurances (everything really) to see what's going to get us better coverage overall. Pretty high deductible right now. Would be great if I knew what our ALTCS status was before hubby had to make his final decision about benefits at work. Of course, it never happens like that. Oh gosh . . . it never ends.

7.) smokin' (as in smokin' hot, not those nasty cigarettes!  ) Shannon~ I did finish school last summer....my Masters. I am working on my Specialist now. I'll complete this in December. I know....what was I thinkin'??  Bummer on the surprise dental work! I'd have flipped out myself!! Lauren~ Congrats on Rosie!!! I've totally had my eye on those things for a long time. Liz~ I hope your dental work went okay. I'm so not a fan myself, but don't have to go through that many meds beforehand....LOL! Stacy~ Supper sounded good. I forget which night that post was made, but I was totally wanting to be a part of that girls' night! Donna~ I hope that the preparations for the tournament are going well. Woohoo on the clean floors! Are you daring the children to walk through the kitchen now?? I definately would! Jackie~ I hope the upcoming walks go well, and you can get a massage afterwards!  You totally deserve it! Katie~ Ugh on not getting in to the Charter school, but stand your ground with Miss Two-Face! I'm glad she's changed her tune with Alex, but really...... Lorena~ You'll look great in whatever you wear to the wedding!! One more week until I find out about my job. Some crazy decisions have already been made and surprised the community so I'm preparing for whatever. It's exhausting, but what can you do??? Warmer temps have returned....tonight a thunderstorm and rain strumming the roof.....tomorrow warm weather, tennis, and baseball. Life in the south! Can't beat it!!!

Liz- Did you make it through ok?
Donna- Dang woman! Rock on with your bad Poker self!
Tracy- Hope all news on the job front is good news. And oooh how I miss a lovely spring thunderstorm/rain. At least I think I do. I'd probably change my tune if I was in one.
Katie- Any teacher drama updates?
I was very productive today. I vacuumed while I ate dinner and while giving Micah a bath. Ok... I didn't. Rosie did! She is so cool!

Tracy: Ugh on the waiting, but I'm glad it's finally almost here for you to find out about the job. Hugs and prayers! Lorena: It was great! One of the girls just got back from deployment and it was her first night back with us so it was great catching up! She's adopting a little boy from South Korea so nice to get a little update about that. It's the hurry up and wait game for there with all the paperwork that has to be done now. Aww, I bet she grows out of the shyness, my brother did! Lauren: Look at you and your multitasking abilities!  Oh, I just saw Akeelah's ripple and Micah's milestones on your original blog and I love it! Love that you're still able to record milestones for Akeelah too. Have Kalua pork in the crock pots and almost everything ready to go for the cookout tonight! Just have to throw together the cole slaw, make tater tot casserole and pumpkin pie crunch then we'll be good to go! Oh, and a few last minute cleanups too.

Oooooh I want the Kalua Pork Crock Pot recipe! Since I certainly won't be burying a pig to cook I could totally do the crock pot way! And ooh Stacy- Good reminder to update those parts of the blog. Off to the beach today. It's been a few weeks and today looks like it could be the perfect beach day with little to no wind! I plan on floating in the water and hopefully being able to hear some straggler whales that haven't left for Alaska.

hi, where to start. Friday....Booooo! My wisdom teeth and a cavity, my face is aching. Saturday-Prepping for our M4B's. Getting every thing ready and church last night. Today-HOORAY! Our walk was fabulous. Perfect weather. I ran the mission table and was overwhelmed with emotion a few times during our walk. So many wonderful family and friends, old and new, it was just great. T is napping, I'm relaxing, and Mike is fixing a gift that was given to me today and he broke it within 10 seconds of touching it. More pics to follow in my blog, after I get them. Picture of Tori and Daddy. ps-my face is still aching, but I didn't want to be on pain drugs during our walk and/or talking the mission. I'm just waiting for those puppies to kick in now. bbl.........

Liz- Your walk pic is gorgeous! Wow, trees and green! I forget what the rest of the country looks like. I guess the desert can do that to a person. Hope you were able to recover quickly after those emotional moments. Sorry about your dental stuff. Ouch. Hugs lady!
Stacy - Your recipes sound super yummy!
Tracy - We've been having some weird weather here too. We went from super hot to some actual rain this past week. Crazy!
Lauren - Picture perfect beach days sound dreamy:) Sounds like you're having a ball with your robotic maid. So neat! No major plans here.
Just getting ready for another week here. I washed AND waxed my car on Friday. Mr. T helped me - so cute! Grocery shopping is out of the way (3 stores-I hop around), laundry almost done, new stash of library books/videos in the house and hubby cleaned up our front yard. We've been hanging out by the pool and Mr. T is taking a nap. It's wonderful! Finally getting another chance on the computer (good grief) to do my stuff. Only 4 more weeks left of the school yearl. I'm getting tired of lesson planning for my long-term sub. I know that she appreciates it though. I used to send off the daily agendas around 6 a.m., but lately it's more like 7:30. It's beginning to look a lot like . . . summer:)

Liz-I hope you get some relief soon! Glad the walk went well!
Took the boat out yesterday, one of the benefits of living in Florida! I love that we have it docked and can just call up and it's ready for us when we get there! Love relaxing weekends (and the fact that my husband likes to grocery shop)!!!!

Tracy - Saying prayers and crossing everything for your job.
Liz - The weather for your walk looks gorgeous!! So happy it went well. Sending pain-free vibes your way.
Lauren - That's taking multi-tasking to new levels. I'm oh so jealous. Wait, I think I may be repeating myself. lol. Beach.....aaaaahhhhhh!!!!
Lindsay - Probably good to keep all options open. It'll work out.
Stacy - Patiently awaiting the kahlua pork recipe. YUM!! I'm still speechless over seeing your team shirts at the San Diego M4B yesterday. Jane was absolutely so sweet. Her husband was probably wondering who this crazy person approaching his wife was. He took it all in stride.
Lorena - you'd look fabulous in whatever you pick to wear. Yay for Miss V!!
Busy weekend here (I know, repeating myself again). Worked the Family Teams tent at our big walk yesterday. There were over 11,000 people walking! Insanity. So amazing. Ryley had a baseball game (he went 2 for 3, scored twice), Grace had Spring Showcase at her dance studio, church this morning, then Grace's last Spring soccer game this afternoon (she scored a goal!). Now just working on the house to get it ready for next weekend. What are the chances I'll paint one room, make curtains for three rooms, clean the entire downstairs, re-upholster four patio chairs, and get all the food/drink before 6pm next Saturday? Right....I know I'm over-reaching.

Ohhhh...I love seeing dolphins. They just make me smile. Thanks..I think my kiddos are pretty amazing if I may say so myself. Nope, still not magazine worthy, but trying to get close to that - hopefully before I'm too old to see it anymore. If you could just see all the clutter, banged up walls, half-finished baseboards, curtainless windows, etc....ugh. We are our own worst critics, right?

I'm with you.. rather the hot than the cold. Lindsay- That is a great weekend and so great that you washed the car and it hasn't rained! I seem to do a rain dance every time I wash my car.
