I am on a Diet Coke and chips & salsa break. Gerry and I had to give blood this morning to complete our wellness exam for our new insurance plan. After that I tossed in some laundry and cut the front grass. Now I am on break for some fuel and caffeine.

I did try some thing new with my hair last night but I am not so sure I like it. We’ll see after I shower and play around with it later today. Hopefully this afternoon I’ll be feeling the love enough to post a photo.
Now, I am off to be lazy for a little while and watch some of Thursday night TV off the DVR. OMG, did any one watch The Office this week? I had to rewind and watch the first five minutes a few times, I love it when Jim harasses Dewight. Funny, funny stuff!

After tossing and turning and stressing at night instead of sleeping this past week, I finally got some real sleep last night. Making Friday feel just a little bit sweeter. To top off my good mood, I have a hair appointment this evening after work. I am trying to decide if I should just trim it up or try something a little more fun. Right now I am leaning towards fun but the day is early.

~ Wordless Wednesday ~

Don’t forget to visit my T.V. blog and guess the T.V. flash back!

Because the weather was so crappy on Sunday we had our pretend it’s Mother’s Day BBQ at our house last night. It was great having my mom and step dad over. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Getting all of us together is some thing we don’t do enough of. I hope to change that over the summer.

Guess who’s mom was at Kinko’s until after 10:30 last night? Guess who’s mom will never ever help her daughter again with a seven page project the night before it’s due? Especially when such daughter had a week or more to work on the project and forgot ! Guess who’s mom will need lots of caffeine today to get her through her work day? But guess who’s mom BETTER come home to a clean house and she damn well better come home to some real sucking up and thank you kisses from her daughter!

Gerry and I are still all stuffy and feeling crabby. I was feeling better Friday evening and most of the day Saturday and then I got all stuffy again and it moved in to my ears so I feel like I am under water all of the time. It’s really pissing me off.

I did still have a nice weekend and a nice Mother’s Day. I spent the day Saturday with Rebecca who is now crawling and getting in to everything. We had a nice day and sat out side for most of it. After she went home and Allison went to a friends house for the night I was able to talk my husband into a nice quiet dinner out, just the two of us. It was so nice! I had steak and crab cakes, it was wonderful!
Of course my Mother’s Day was also very nice. It was the opposite of quiet for the most part there was even living room pillow fights in the afternoon which I did not win. I never win, both my husband and daughter are too vicious. In the evening Gerry and Allison cooked me a delicious spaghetti dinner and then severed brownie ice cream for dessert. Allison showered me with handmade gifts from school that say how wonderful I am and a digital key chain that holds 60 pictures. It was really nice. I am a lucky woman.
