None

I purposefully titled this "none" because there is no real topic today. Sorry.

I have a new-found obsession with Riffraff. I blogged about it earlier but I find myself checking their facebook sight multiple times a day. I've held off pretty good the last few weeks on buying things but I broke today. They were having a sale and I just said "run, and ship!" Meaning, run my credit card and ship to me please...oohhh, dear. I hope I can contain myself when the stuff is even more on sale. You can find their site here.

We have been to the lake a couple of nights this week. The first night it was like 97 degrees at 10 pm. We were both sweating by the time we got home. Last night, it was a breezy 75. Much better. Snapped this cute picture of Kelsie, Kyle, and Darren.

I've been back to the drawing board, painting board, whatever you want to call it. I've started painting a local store's canvas shoes. And I've consistently got 1-2 orders per week. Mind you, I just started a couple of weeks ago but still...I think it will keep me busy. Also to add to that, I have about 15 orders for canvases, picture frames, etc. I try to at least do 1 a day. Today, I started on 5 so tomorrow I can hopefully finish them all. Or some, whatever. I'll post some pics soon. Here is one I did for a PT friend that just had her baby boy. His room is in chocolate brown, brick red, and turquoise.

...and this is what my art room looks like! Yikes!

Goodnight.

Big D

What an awesome weekend. I loved:
1. Getting away
2. Spending time with Alex, Mary Beth and Maelea
3. Not having a schedule to follow
4. Shopping
5. Time with the hubby

We left for Dallas Thursday night. We followed Kyle's family down there until our exit in Terrell. Kyle's family stayed with his uncle in Dallas, we stayed with MB and family. Friday was sleep-in time (for me) and Kyle went to tour Cowboys Stadium. I think his favorite part was the cheerleader's locker room, I'm not entirely sure though.

Friday night we all went to the Rangers vs. Mets game.

After the game, all the cousins and friends were a little tired, so they crashed...

Saturday was also filled with sleeping in. Kyle and Alex went to hang out with his cousins and I think they had a pretty interesting and eventful afternoon! MB, Maelea and I went shopping at Northpark. Love the Gap sales...I spent $30 and got a pair of jeans and 2 shirts. This is Maelea when we had to get out for the mall...sleepy girl!

We met Kyle and all his family at the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. YUMMY! But slow service. Kyle keeping Maelea entertained...

MB and I at dinner. I had the Jamaican shrimp and it was delish! And also a piece of turtle cheesecake. Mmmmm

After dinner, we went to the Mesquite Rodeo. Girls riding bulls? Let's never do that again...

Kyle and Maelea before we had to leave this morning.

I loved the weekend, and I loved the company. Maelea will be one on July 3rd!

Summer Lovin

I'm setting myself up for disaster here with the title. But I really could have went with Lovin Summer....
I started my official Kid Summer schedule yesterday. Start at 830, end about 3, and off on Fridays! I figure I could work during the summer while I don't have kids and hopefully be able to be off with them when I do. It's so laid back and, well, I just love it! Monday and Wednesday mornings are spent in the pool for pool therapy, then I go to a few daycares and kids homes where the grandma fixes me some sweet tea. I think I have a great job!

I'm so, so excited to go see the Hatch's. We are leaving Thursday after everyone gets off work. Going to a Rangers game, Mesquite Rodeo, and who knows what else. I'm just excited to see MB, sweet (and growing) Maelea, and A-Dogg (sorry, had to throw that in there).

On a funny note, here is what I dealt with today....sad thing is I ticked this kid off by taking his blocks and he was with the physical therapist, not even me! My kid had already kicked me and slapped me in the face. Oh boy was I mad. So, mine was in time out while this little guy had a ginormous meltdown. Flopped himself on the floor but made sure to leave his booty in the chair. I just had to take a picture...

Taking a Break

If you've been reading, then you know that now's about the time if I find out if the last IUI worked. This whole week I have been SICK. Coughing, sinus drainage, fever, all that jazz. Monday, I took a test and it was negative so I stopped my medicine (usually I start a day or two after this). Tuesday, I stayed home from work trying to rid myself of the coughing and manly voice. It didn't work. I went back to work for a little while Wednesday, hoping to not get the kids sick. We went over to Kyle's parent's for dinner and my fever went back up. So, Thursday I made a trip to the clinic. I have an ear infection and sinus infection. Contrary to what it sounds like, I don't have bronchitis. So I'm on antibiotic. I asked the doctor to make it a baby-friendly medicine just in case. Then, as I was treating a kid yesterday afternoon, the dreaded cramps started. So I called in to the clinic to schedule an ultrasound. 

This morning was my appointment, at 11. Charity went with me and we ate and shopped for Father's day. My regular doctor was not there and my least favorite one was there. So I had a bad attitude going into the appointment (plus it not working again just didn't make for a good day). The doctor said I have a cyst. This is because of the clomid I was taking. That's why they do the ultrasounds each time I go in, to check for any cysts from the medicine. This is the first time I've had one though. He just said, "Yeah, there's a pretty big cyst there...just call when you start your next period and we'll go from there." ...ok....and as he was walking out the door he said, "sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but you can still try on your own." ...and he closes the door. Grrrr.

So, that's what we'll do. What we've been doing for 2 1/2 years already. 

I DO

Pictures of the beautiful bride and handsome groom. Lots of fun, late nights, and love goin on :) Just got a text saying they just pulled into the condo in Gulf Shores!

Miles, the ring bearer

Khloi, flower girl

 First dibs on the dollar dance, Clarky!

Strange

Likely that I'm just losing my mind but here lately I have been doing some things a little out of the ordinary, and especially at night!
1. Getting up and going to the bathroom (I sleep through everything so this is odd). Yes a pregnancy symptom but still odd to me.
2. Turning on the wrong highway either to or from work
3. And this is the weird one. Last night I woke up holding my wedding band between my fingers. Not the big ring...so I kinda freaked and panicked. It was on the floor. So somehow I managed to take it off in the night and either drop it or throw it in the floor. And my wedding ring was soon on it's way I have a feeling.

...what in the world??

oh, and I'm loving my new laid-back summer schedule.
