Just checking in....

I haven't been posting or even visiting my favorite blogs too much lately.

Just wanted to check in w/ anyone who may stop by and be wondering where I've been.

For whatever reason, I'm just not in a blogging mood. I have so much going on w/ me lately but I don't feel it should be discussed so openly on my blog.

Everything is going good in my life, but I feel emotionally and physically drained. I can't explain it. I don't know why. What I do know is, I'm always tired and no matter how much sleep I can get, I'm still exhausted! It's unexplainable.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to get control of life again and get back to my happy bloggy self. Wish me luck.

God Bless You and your families in this Lenten Season.

Keep the Lord in your heart, you can always count on him.

Happy Birthday C!!!

A Happy Birthday wish to my S-I-L, CHRISTINA!

I wish you nothing but the very best today and always. I hope your day was filled with much happiness and cheer with a whole lot of well deserved pampering from the men in your life!

Happy Birthday!

At the Rosebud TONIGHT....

Travis Tritt!!

My husband and I are going to this concert with our dear friends, Mark and Janet. We've been looking forward to doing this since the tickets went on sale.

To be honest, I was a big fan of his back in the day. You know, when I was in grade/high school. However, more recently he hasn't really popped up with album that I recall. I could be all wrong so don't quote me on this though, I listen to all different kinds of music I don't really keep track of any one particular artist (except Celine Dion of course).

Anyhow, I'm really excited about getting out of the house and hanging with some friends for dinner and some fun.

It's Groundhog's Day

Well it's Groundhog's Day once again. And yes, the little booger saw his shadow. What a little vermin!!!

I absolutely can't stand cold weather. I'm ready for fun in the sun and grilling out with friends and family. I was just looking at my calendar this morning and counting the days till our Florida trip with my family this summer. Let me tell you it seems like its forever away. Now to find out we will tentatively have 6 more blustery weeks of winter, yaaaaaaaaaaa! I can't wait!

I hope you can hence my sarcasm!

Happy 1st Anniversary!

Awwww! Their so in love!! Happy 1 year Anniversary Chris and Christina!

Congratulations on your 1st year of marriage. You both mean the world to us and we wish nothing but the best in your lives together.

We hope you enjoy your cake ;-)

Another tug on my Heartstrings

Today is very bitter sweet for me. Caleb's Basketball season just started up last Saturday and he had his second game this morning at 8:15. In which I've missed both due to a conflict with work AGAIN!

I've always been very fortunate to make it to every one of my son's sporting events in his life so far and he is 10 now. It literally is breaking my heart that I've missed his first two. I make sure I tell him "Good Luck", and "Play Hard", and my everyday "I Love You!", before I leave in the mornings. Plus I always ask him to call me with the game results.

Something about getting the results over the phone just isn't the same as being a part of the action. I get so excited when I watch Caleb play sports. He is so talented. I don't want to miss out on a thing and I feel like I'm letting him down since I can't be there to support him.

I've ask my mom to take our camera this morning so I could get some action shots of Caleb and his team, not to mention the HOT coaching staff ;-) I can't wait to see some fantastic shots later!

Update: Caleb called and sang to me "We Are the Champions, We Are the Champions!" Then said: Mom, We WON!! I could just hear the huge smile on his face.

Good Job Team Caleb!

New Moon Update

I just found out today that the sequel to Twilight, New Moon, that is currently in the making has offered none other that Dakota Fanning to play the role of Jane. Jane is one of the small but strong vampires in the Italian family.

How EXCITING is this. The radio also said they didn't even ask her to audition for the part they just gave it to her. I love this little girl. She is a wonderful little actress w/ tons of spunk. Can't wait to see it!

Ok, I'm finished rambling about such unimportant things. I just had a moment of excitement, I love these books. I don't know what I'll do when I've read them all and own all the movies :-)

And the Award Goes To.....

Oh ya, I Forgot......

5 Things I'm Grateful for, here we go......

First and Foremost is the obvious....CALEB!!!!This little man is my inspiration to be the best person I can be. He is my little buddy, he is fantastic at anything he does, and he melts my heart w/ every smile he sends my way!! You never know how much you can love someone until you have a child. His innocence, his stubbornness, his occasional laziness, his love for others, and his pure focus to succeed at something is completely amazing to me.
I Love You Caleb!

Of course, ranked right up there is the Love of my Life!! Where would I be today without his love and support. I too often just expect him to know how much I love him and need him. I feel that sometimes I short change him of my affection. So today I will be sure to SHOUT OUT to everyone how much he means to me and what a wonderful father he is and will be to all the other little rug rats we may or may not have in the future ;-)

I Love You Honey!

One of my most desired junk foods is Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream Chips!!! Unlike most people, I'm a salt person. I'm crazy for chips!!!! Any kind of course but RCSC are my fav! If I'm in a dumpy mood ice cream and chocolate isn't the first thought. I'd much rather devour a whole bag of chips :-) YUMMY!!!

As a woman, who doesn't love to shop?!? I look so forward to having a day where I have no worries but how much money to reasonably to spend on Caleb and hopefully finding something for my hotty of a husband. I love pampering my family. Making my men look any studlier than they already are can be quite an exhausting task for any woman but for me it's relaxing happiness!!
And finally, I am grateful for the rhythm and words of music. I couldn't make it through one day without music. T.V., no problem! Anymore there isn't anything to really brag about on television. Songs can really speak to me. Every song has different meaning and has the ability to shape or change your mood on any given day.

There you have it........The 5 things I'm most grateful for. The list could go on and on forever. I have so much to be thankful, grateful, and happy about it was hard to narrow it down. As a side note, I want you to know I'm also very GRATEFUL for my family and close friends. Without you my life would be so boring.

Now I think I'm supposed to give the award to someone else so who will it be? I will think about it and get back to you soon w/ the answer :-) Stay tuned......

How Sweet, Thanks!

How Exciting!!! I'm finally getting around to excepting a couple of awards given to me by wonderful friends in my life. Thank you so much to Dawn and Christina.

I'm not so good at all this blogging and awarding others yet but in time I'm sure this will change. So for now I'll sit back and appreciate my friends thoughtfulness until they let me know what I should have done already :-)

Thank You for the above award Dawn. I think your pretty awesome too :-)

Must Love Tots

And to my favorite S-I-L, Christina :-)

I think you are the most considerate friend a person could ask for. No matter the circumstance, I know I can always count on you to help pull me through, and the Lord knows, we've had our moments ;-) I don't know what I'd do without you!

Thank You!
