boys and their toys aka men...

John has been traveling now for his job and I "mentioned" to him that it would be probably a good idea for him to get an ear piece for his phone for safety. Well he got home last night and apparently he made sure he got to the phone store before coming home to get one. Now if if I mention about cleaning the garage or finally finishing some painting projects he becomes deaf. It is amazing to me how excited they get"men" about these electronic toys oops I mean vital tools in which to perform his work and provide a safe driving environment on the road. I could tell he is feeling guilty about the $90.00 he spent on this vital tool because he called me at work to let me know that he feels that it is vital that I have one too! No thanks. I don't like to be on the phone and I hate things on my ears. Well I should be grateful that he is not techno savvy!!! All though I did see him eyeing the HD TV's at Sams.........

Can't be Mad

This morning was the usual rush to get Parker to school on time. I'll admit most of the time it is my fault because I like to sleep in (never a morning person). Anyway he has always been used to us being able to take our time because I don't start work until 10:00 a.m.. Well this morning we rushing as usual and I was forced to dress him to save time.... all you moms know what I mean anyway I was getting extremely fustrated with him because he was being a slow poke and obessing over this star toy and then he did it. He extended the string on the star to make a one string guitar and started singing " I love my mommy, she is so sweet, she gives me kisses and hugs..... at this point my heart is melting and my baby boy can do no wrong. Who needs to be on time anyway!!! Keep singing my boy ......

Allison is Going To College!!!

Well we got our acceptance letter from North Georgia Military College. They have accepted Allison providing she get her ACT score in within 30 days(I already faxed it). She got great ACT scores so everything will be great. Now we are trying to secure ROTC scholarship money. The school drags thier feet about transcipts. I guess I might have to go up thier and pull my ghetto momma on them.....I think it will be a BIG adjustment for my little closet princess. NO TV, no extra bedding i.e. down comforter, and additional pillows..Yikes!!! Valentimes Day is next week, and frankly I don't have a clue.. Any suggestions?? I guess I've gotten to old and tired.

ROTC Ball Queen

Last night was the ROTC ball and Allison was crowned Queen for Northside High School. She was sooooo beautiful. We spent the day (after I left work) at hair, make-up, and buying those last minute items. It came together beautifully. She looked so great. I think she was the prettiest there, but there again I am biased.
