The family and I took a Carribbean Cruise to Grand Cayman, Honduras & Belize this past week..Ohhh MYYY GODDD! Think I died and went to heaven!! SO many things to do {Like going on a submarine ride in Grand Cayman 500 feet down, Horeseback riding w Tom in Belize, Hitting the Disco and Casino and piano bars w Tom on the ship while the kids hang w Grandma or in the Kids club, swimming in Tabiana beach in Honduras and its crystal clear water, where Thomas learned to snorkel for the first time and came across some beautiful fish hooking him for life loving to snorkel! And the food? Deeeliishiouusss! Even got a dinner and a show at dress up night for dinner.. I got SO spoiled I didn't want to come home! Got a feeling of depression when the boat finally docked back at home..:( HAVE to say was one of THE most top 10 things Ive always wanted to do , and can't wait to do it again!!

Under the Sea School Play

 Went to Thomas' first 4th grade  school musical tonite..Under the Sea.. with the kids dressed up as different kids of fish.. "King" fish, "Tiger sharks, "Clown"fish, and a puffer fish all decked out in blow up latex gloves! Thomas was a shark .Was so fun to watch him do his lines so perfectly, he was just awesome! SO proud of him and looked like he had a ball doing it! My Little actor! Bravo!!

What a week!

Well this week was surely a doozy. Palm Sunday,{ my birthday} started out innocently enough.. it was a warm sunny day, nice breeze, perfect birthday day. Tom sent me out shopping for my birthday. Ok . He wanted to make me a cake with the kids- how sweet! ;) That kinda went sour, he's a guy, he doesn't bake, that's ok, I picked one up on the way home- he just decorated it. He ordered Pizza Hut- { way to annihilated my diet- but at this point I was in the mood anyway..} we ate, I gained, watched Home Makeover, went to bed. It was nice- I spent it with the family. 39- how did it creep up so fast? Anyway, Monday rolled around, and so did the germs.. brought Thomas to Karate camp for Spring Break Camp & picked him up later puking his brains out until later that night and pooping out the other end where we had to keep changing sheets.. I slept in his room to make sure he was alright- Somewhere he picked up a nasty stomach virus. Tuesday he was much better, but it was my turn.. I went to the Dr to be weighed in-at 120 - not bad,Deb called to wish me Happy Birthday, by 10:30, it was my turn for the virus-from then till 4:30 am, I was glued to the toilet with a bucket in my lap and camped on the bathroom floor for the night! What the hell? I inevitibly lost 8 pounds in one night- there must be a record for that! I awoke to 113 pounds as to the 120 I was weighed in at the day before! Wednesday and Thursday I was just weak and lightheaded and lethargic & focused on rehydrating myself while it was BRENDANS turn! Not so much throwing up - { just for half a day} but had the diarreah- OY! will it not stop? So we all were drowning in Gatorade around here! Tom somehow escaped it the lucky dog! But has problems of his own coughing and hacking everywhere [ I think bronchitis but wont get looked at & is driving me insane the grossness of how he sounds!} Anyway, I am now a size 3- not the way I wanted to lose my last few pounds but I'll take em! Now Thomas still can't lick this virus- feels tired, and fevery, and doesn't want to do anything and went to scouts and was falling asleep on me, and now sent him to school and came back home with a 101 fever.. new week where are you?? Lets hope the soup I gave him does the trick! :)

The Mom Song

The Mom Song Sung to William Tell Overture with Lyrics - The most amazing videos are a click away
There are times where I can SOO relate to this song! Enjoy ALL!
Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepyhead
Here's your clothes and your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now! Get up and make your bed
Are you hot? Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget! You gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 today
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play
Don't shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair?
Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share
Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare
Get along! Don't make me come down there
Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away
Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay?
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone! Get off the phone!
Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the table
No more computer time tonight!
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait till you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate
Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate
Use your fork, do not burp or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, get the door, don't get smart with me
Get a grip, get in here, I'll count to three
Get a job, get a life, get a PHD
Get a dose of,
"I don't care who started it!
You're grounded until you're 36"
Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before
That you're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straighter when you walk
A place for everything and everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs on
Get in bed, get a hug, say a prayer with mom
Don't forget, I love you
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because, because, because, because
I said so, I said so, I said so, I said so
I'm the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!!
Ta da!!!
