Did someone say Jamaica??


No...oh too bad. It would have been nice to join you. Why you might ask, would I want to go to a caribbean island? I don't normally prefer island vacations. Maybe it's because I have a tween, a pre-tween, and one, that is way past his tween years, but somehow he manages to irk me just like the other two. So yes, this is a vent post, and if you are in a good mood and do not want to hear my rant. Then go on to another post, or someone else's cheery blog.


My pre-tween is managing to get in loads of trouble at school. He is choosing to not do his homework and telling us that it is done. I have been a bad parent, and have not double checked his homework, so shame on me. He has been grounded and has lost privelges to his XBox 360, his Wii, his Playstation 3 and his lap top. Did you get all that? Yes, we have over indulged this pre-tween and now we are paying the consequences. And did I forget his Nintendo DS? So, what I am thinking is that I have to fix this situation and show more "tough love". Does anyone know how to do that? I am a sucker, you hear me, a sucker for this pre-tween. He has me wrapped around his little finger.


This is where my full grown tween/man/husband/Buddy comes in. He "tapped out" last night. He for the past seven months has been both mom and dad to this pre-tween. Me with my two jobs have not been around much. He has held down the fort, so to say. And he needs me to come back full force. I get it, I see where he is coming from. Sometimes me and my type A personality do not like to have reality hit me smack in the face. So, that is where Buddy irked me. For I could'nt help myself. Buddy, I am sorry. Truly sorry. I promise, starting next week, I will be around more. I still won't cook though : )


Then there is this Tween....... She unlike the pre-tween has no problems turning in her homework etc. She is in the honor roll at school. She stays busy with dance. Her problem, she thinks that I am her personal assistant. Excuse me....yeah, I don't think so. Every day it's somehthing else. This morning it was a call "mom, I forgot my lunch, can you bring it to me?" "Uh, no I am at work. Eat in the cafeteria, you have money on your card." "But I don't like the food in the cafeteria. There is nothing healthy." "Well, too bad." That is just one example of the many. Is this what having a teenager is going to be like? If so, then I need to go to a carribean island for a major emotional detox and come back with a fresh new mind. I know, I know that I can't, but it was a good thought. I will however look forward to Chicago in 13 days...haaaaa Even though the tween is coming with me I will have a great time. And Jamaica will just have to wait.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Flashback Friday

This Friday, I am participating in two links. My first is with Alicia over at More Than Words . There are only two weeks to go for TDA's Summer Recital. This year it will be held at Higley Performing Arts on June 20 at 7:00. Kassie will be in aproximately 14 dances so far. Might change though. Hopefully it will change to less. : ) Recital is in full swing right now. Every day, you see kids walking out with their costumes. It is so cute. I especially love seeing the little two and three year olds. They are always so excited. This is a picture of Kai in her 2nd Recital with TDA. It was her first year taking more than two classes. I think she was in five or six recital numbers. It was her first official ballet dance. She had never taken a full ballet class. She since has learned to love it. This picture was taken in 2005 making her only nine years old. How fast time goes..... June 2005
