Well, here we go again, another week without Dad and another week with no cooking! (=
He's been working out of town the past 2 weeks, he's got 2 more weeks to go. I always enjoy the first few days, because I don't have to do anything I don't want to do, then it's kinda like...ok, now what? Oh I know, I get the remote, I can watch whatever I want. So what am I watching tonight, a John and Kate Plus 8 Marathon....lol

I always look forward to going to basketball games, but we only have 1 this week. Only 3 more games and Katelyn is finished for the year. I dread it in the beginning, but I'm going to miss it when it's over. I really enjoy going to the games and watching the kids play and visiting with friends and seeing old friends I haven't seen in a long time. It's kind of amazing who you see at a Flippin basketball game.

Have a great evening..(=

A night by myself

So, I've been home alone for the past 4 1/2 hours. I think it's kinda like Heaven on earth, sometimes.
I rarely have alone time and I yearn for it, but when it happens...I don't ever know what to do with myself. I can only clean so much, and watch so much TV, which happens to be my favorite past time. I've watched my Tivo'd shows, Nip/Tuck, The City, Daddy's Girls, and about an hour of Mean Girls..then I thought..Ok, when are the kids coming home from Church? I'm bored.
I got excited when they walked in the door with their comments on their days. Report cards came out today, both are on the honor roll, makes me pretty proud, but I know they didn't get their smarts from me, it all came from their Daddy. They were excited and wanted to know what they got for the honor roll..money, toys, unlimited texting? I just told them be proud of what they've done and to keep it up. I don't think that worked though, so we'll see if Daddy has to hand out some cash when he gets home.
Greg has been working out of town for the past two weeks and again next week. I've thoroughly enjoyed the break from homemade cooking, but I think we can only live on frozen pizza, quesadillas and hamburger helper for so long. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm sick of it and ready for some good food. So I guess i'll have to break down and cook this weekend. Dang.

So, Hunter had to get 4 teeth pulled, so he can get ready for braces (that's a whole other story). So we get home, after the dentist and here comes Daddy..."Hunter, get your gun, there's deer in our yard", so Hunter grabs his gun, not too thrilled about it either. Goes on the back porch and shoots his very first deer! He was SO proud, but not too proud..you know, he's a boy and all, he's always gotta act cool.

Here's a picture of it, and you can tell he's not able to smile, because he's totally numb on both sides of his face.

I actually put the picture in the Baxter Bulletin, and a few people made comments to me while in town. One comment was "hey, we saw Hunter in the paper with his deer, why isn't he smiling, that's a pretty nice deer?" So, of course I had to explain to them why he looks like he just got grounded from TV or the computer for 6 months.

So, here are my kids...they're big hams, if you ask me. I don't know where they get that from though..haha

The big deal about blogging

So, I want to know what the big deal is with blogging? I've read alot, and always wanted to do one, but thought, "what am I going to write about"? Well, I guess I can start with my family and go from there, right?
Greg and I have been married for 13 years (WOW) and we have 2 children, Katelyn who is 12 and Hunter who is 9. Katelyn is my little basketball player and Hunter is my little artist. He is going to be famous one day! I'll have to post a few of his pictures, I have bragging rights... Right?
