Grrrr Ughhhhh Sheesh

OK - I had a nice big huge blog post the other day all typed out and I saved it and pushed PUBLISH Post - well - it did not publish.


Soooooo - instead of ranting and raving and going into detail:

Jewelry Party we had for the girls was awesome - they did fashion show thingy with the Jewelry -got my new bling bling Sat night - Lovin' It (More than McDonald's)

The Krispy Kreme sales went well - we made over $600 bucks on the doughnuts - Awesome fundraiser if you can find some poor lovin soul to drive to KC and drive back
with Hot Dripping with syrupy icing Fresh Doughnuts! Well worth the fundraising effort!

Week in Hutchinson for World Series lots of $$, girls had fun - at the salt mine- the pic of a tractor in the salt mine with my family - what is the chance? ( also please notice Pedro is almost as tall as Diddie -5 years diff there people) chance of a liftime. Girls played like they didn't know a darn thing - heartbreaking - probably the reason I got to stay at home by myself with the dog. Thought I did attend a slowpitch softball game of my neighbor lady and who knew Army Guys could look good in baseball pants also! I also got to see a lady I work with freak out as her son is riding Bulls in Clay Center at the fair! I snuck in late for the free show! Loved it! He is a very brave young man - good looking - and has a wonderful mom! I can't say that I would be any different with the nervous break down thing before seeing him get on the bull and come out of the chute!

This past weekend - we had family reunion - never enough time to sit and talk and figure out who all the relatives are that you haven't seen in a long -long time. After that we put away 28 qts of "Incredible" corn in the freezer! Cold winter night - chicken fried steak - garlicky mashed taters with homemade graby and Incredible corn! Yummmm Yummmmm

Water heater is on the fritz - still not fixed. have HOT water still - but it is slowly leaking still all over the floor.

School starts 2 weeks from tomorrow! UGHHHHHHHHHHH where did summer go!

Please keep this little boy in your thoughts today and on their trip to Boston!

Fab Friday

So this week was supposed to be dead week right - NOT. Volleyball, Krispy Kreme Sales - Thanks to all who bought - the team raised over $600 on that one! and what else - oh yeah - enrollment of Izzy into HS into the 10th Grade! She has a loaded schedule Chemistry, Geometry, World History, Soph English - Body Conditioning - Family consumer somethingor other - oh yeah - that is the one where she gets to pretend she is preggo and bring a fake baby home. Whatever happened to just carrying around an egg like I did - you didn't know if it was hardboiled or not till the end of the week - if the baby even made it that far.

Pedro has had a busy week running and doing also. But Big Sis has been generous and took her to the pool a couple of times. Hmmm - couldn't have anything to do with a certain boy being at the pool could it Izzy.

We ate at Joe's CrabShack last weekend - Yum Yum! after that we browed Bass Pro and decided we needed to win the $50,000 cash prize they were giving away to buy ALL of the fishing gear we need - including a Chevy Tahoe to haul around the new Bass Boat we will buy - along with poles and jigs of every make, model, and color! (I promise to load the pics - No softball this weekend)

Izzy has National Tournament all week long next week in Hutch. I couldn't find relief to cover my receptionist desk duties - so Daddy gets to take her and some screaming teenage girls for the week. A week ago he told me already he is scared! If this isn't a wakeup call that Diddie is growing up - then nothing is! Pedro and I will head that way next Friday if they are still playing.

As for me and Pedro - work and home and eat a bowl of cold cereal in a plastic bowl with a plastic spoon - No Dishes! LOL - Pedro will be staying during the day with some family friends with two little ones - She will be their entertainment!

Have a fabulous weekend and we will catch up again soon!

Pedro Softball

Last night Pedro had her last softball game in Abilene - I think. She caught one inning - a quick one at that. In the last inning they changed it up a bit and put her at Short Stop. And just like the inning before - sure enough - that girl hit that ball right to that very spot. Pedro fumbled the ball a little bit but recovered nicely and got the third out at 1st base. End of Game - Finito- We Won like 14 to 1. Granted - you only get 5 runs per inning - but seriously - these games are like watching paint dry. The girls are pitching - it is 10 and under age group - and most of the balls don't make it over the plate as strikes. Most of the runs at these games are by walking.

The game before we played in Ft Riley and the girls did great there also. Pedro got two hits to the grass and got to 2nd Base. Quite an accomplishment - see paragraph above for reference to strikes - She got on the phone and told a great friend that evening that she had a double double - Hence a new nickname now!

Gotta run - a virus is attacking my stomach and time for another dose of Immodium - Hope I can get this cleared up before we leave today for another tournament this weekend.

Pics to go with my stories

My Oh My

OK - so my plan was last night to video some of Pedro's game and upload it to the blog for all to see - on the other side of the coin - I was going to also put video of Izzy doing her pitching skills thingy in Dodge that she got first place for- my plans changed.

Long story short - the lynch mob lost and the great one's won! So we had a celebration last night. If you know us very well you know the background behind the story. But I am going to keep everyone in the dark. Let's just say it involves softball and a school board and parents and players. Nuff Said!

Cierra had two hits last night that were doubles. Talk about greatness! She loves catching though she is slow at it. I have some cute pics - Again - I just need to find about 3 of me to get everything done that we need to. Like Laundry, dishes, chicken to cook for this weekend's softball tournament - instead of ham or turkey samiches. I am going to make some chicken on the grill and get some tortillas and cheese and chop some 'maters up and make chicken wraps.

Volleyball finishes up tonight for Lil Kimmy and Softball for Pedro ends this Thurs in Abilene. This weekend we head to Shawnee for softball - and maybe some Joe's crab shack also.

Anyways - hopefully with a dead week next week maybe I can load a buncha buncha pics from the last few weeks.

Harvest Time

So Yeah - I am late on blogging. Our harvest started last Thursday and By Friday had a major break down with the combine. By the time that happened though I was in Great Bend looking at the Harvest Crews myself with a load of girls headed to Dodge City.

The girls and I whooped and Hollered at the boys as we drove through town! Yeah - I try to be the cool kids mom - I think I embarras them more than anything though.

Anyways - We took Pedro with us - thinking her life would be in better hands than out in the wheat field listening to harsh words and in the heat of when the combine did break down with no one to come and get her.

Anyways - Harvest is officially done yesterday, softball we didn't do awesome but we did OK! Izzy did a pitching skill thingy and got a first place medal for the 18 yr old division.

Pedro had a great time with some other softball friends that graciously took her back to the hotel so they could swim instead of enduring an afternoon at the ball park.

This weekend we are headed to Wellington. It will be an exciting and different way to spend the fourth along with some softball. I have some awesome pics of our girls and I can't wait to post some of them.

In the meantime Pedro has a dble header tonight in Abilene - barring no rain. She will have her last two games next week.

Whew - I am not done yet!

We missed getting to be at my nephew's first birthday. I know he doesn't know it now but I feel really bad for missing it. Looks like from the pics it was a fun one with cousins and family other than us.

I can't believe it is July already! Where has the time gone? I haven't been home one single night in over a week and half. After next week it should slow down.
