Danny and i are experiencing his first weekend "on call.". 2:37am this morning i hear a strange ring...hit the floor running to find out what it is. Danny is in the kitchen, holding his work pager/phone. There is no message so we head back to bed. No more get comfy again, and the house phone rings. Guardrail damage, he has to go. He gets home at 6:30 this morning. Sleeps a while and heads out to get gas, fertilizer, and a tire. Calls me and says ANOTHER guard rail issue...so he heads to McKinney, to the yard again and they off to the other side of Farmersville. Back at 4:30pm. We just got back from dinner at the Weston Cafe and i sat thinking PLEASE dont let that damn thing ring. We're back home now. Going to set the clock forward in a few minutes and pretend it's almost 10pm.
My Friday night was as follows:
Home at 7:45pm. Change clothes and head to Prosper for fajitas and a margaritta. Home right after and to bed. Wake up a little before midnight to make sure the kids get home. Back to bed, cant sleep, so i play Angry Birds until a little after 1am. Lights out. That damn phone rings, up at 2:37am. Back to bed after Danny leaves, cant sleep, so me and the Birds play again for about 30 minutes. Wake up at 5am hot, so i get up and go to the garage. Danny gets home at 6:30 and i go back to bed at 7:20. Back up at 9. Tired yet? I am! Night night. And if you plan to take out a guard rail tonight, please DO NOT do it in Collin County! I need some sleep...

Random updates
The beginning of this week is a blur. So happy for Friday, i could barely stand it! Last night...to the school for viewing of all the marble machines. I think i know what Physics is now...complicated, yet creative. The machines where amazing. Makes me so proud to be the parent of a beautiful girl, that can come up with something so great! And today? Well...what else....they all desteoyed their marble machines!
Danny and i just got back from Mexican food in Prosper. And a couple of margarittas perfect ending for one hell of a week!
Going to fish and do absolutely NOTHING tomorrow. May plant flower seeds and fertilize. Other than that, not a dang thing. C and C are on spring break next week....attempting to take a couple of days off. We shall see if that actually happens.
Off to sleep now....have a great weekend. Maybe the fish will be biting...i have minnows in a bucket, just waiting for the big one!
Love to all, especially Mom and Dad....will call you tomorrow!

Sunglasses!!!
I wore my sunglasses to and from work today.....this may not sound like a big deal, but to me, it means i left home at 7am (daylight) and just got home a little after 6pm (still daylight!). Working long hours makes me miss sunshine...and my sunglasses!
Headed to registration for the kids at 7pm. Senior year, here we come! Well as long as we finish the next 60 days or so that is.
Glad tomorrow is Friday. Going to Emory sometime this weekend. Probably Saturday afternoon, but will confirm. Chelsey wants to Prom dress shop, since she is the ONLY one that hasn't gotten a dress yet.... i am not looking forward to Promzilla again!
Havent talked to Ashley all week, i guess the boys have been good. No texts letting me know otherwise.
Notes to a few: Jeannine, its time for a new post. Megan, i hope your having fun with Jennifer. Carla, i agree, pay phones are few and far between these days. Mom and Daddy, i'll let you know when i am heading down. Love to all.
Signed,
Mother of TWO almost Seniors...
Time sure flys when your having fun.

A windy Sunday!
First...let's back up to Saturday. I worked all day, finally found my desk under a heap of paperwork, files, to do lists, reminder notes, reports, ideas jotted down, meeting notes....it was out of control! Tomorrow, i shall walk in to a clean office, but likely wreck it by noon.
Last night Danny and i left out for dinner in Sherman. We never took the exit until we got to Choctaw. Two hours later we headed home. Just love that place!
Today...up and out to breakfast. Then ran to Sherman (actually exited this time) Walmart for a big list of items and groceries. Forgot salt, but got everything else. Back home, cooked late lunch, nap on the couch, now watching the Academy Awards. In the first half hour, F bomb was dropped and Anne Hathaway said Jackass. Not good...
Just looked at my calendar for tomorrow.....8am conference call, a visitor from CO flying in, two other morning meetings and nothing for the afternoon....that gives me several hours to wreck my office again!
Have a great week!

Not THOSE shoes!
Ring ring.....cell phome (forgive typo's-kinda tired)
Me: Hello. (house phone on caller id of my cell, could be anyone that shares a house with me)
Chelsey: MOooooMmmmm, WHAT did you give to the maide's today?
Me: i gave them the shoes and swearshirt you cleaned out of your closet
Chelsey: (crying and screaming). Those were NOT to give away they were from my car
Me: Chelsey, you said you cleaned your closet of shoes. They had been in a chair in the breakfast nook for 4 days, i assumed i had the right ones.
Chelsey: (beyond hysterical) MOooooooMmmmmm, those were my UGG boots. I wear them all the time. WHY would you think they were to be given away?
Me: again Chelsey, they had been there four days!
Chelsey: (barely able to understand her thru the tears, sobs and screams)WHAT were you thinking?
Me: 4 days in the kitchen? Must ne the right ones!
Chelsey: Mooommmmm, you know........CLICK ( yes, i hung up on her)
Ring ring
Me: helo
Chelsey: Mooommmmmm, WHY did you.....CLICK (yes, i did it again)
Ring ring
Me: WHAT
Danny: next time, ask before you give something away.....CLICK you guessed it)
All this while i am sitting at the cleaners drive thru waiting on the guy to geg all our clothes and put them in the trunk AND i am on blue tooth, so the whole thing is unfolding on speaker.
Me: (speed dial, HOME).
Chelsey: HELLO
Me: you should probably think twice before you call me yelling....i have called the maide's and they will bring all back. CLICK (i did it before she could)
Ring ring.
Me: HELLO
Danny: want to meet us for dinner?
Me: sure, where
Danny: Prosper, Ernesto's?
Me: yes. CLICK
Dinner was very quiet......maide's brought boots back before we even got home. I just threw them in Chelsey's room.

A good Saturday....
Saturday was a pretty good day....Danny, Chelsey and I left out early for oil change, car wash, pedicures and flip flop run at DSW. Oil change for my car, not so good, it seems VW has not released the filters yet, so i have to take it to the dealership to be serviced. Grrrrr! Pedicure for the three of us....we got "Happy Feet" treatment. And let's just say Danny loved it! Hot towels, warm stones, paint brush with oil....it was all good. DSW was next, for our annual flip flop run. I actually bought more shoes than Chelsey, which never happens! Lunch at Jin Bei. Then home for a nap. Danny wakes up saying "Walmart or Academy?". Well...duh...Academy babe. So....off we go to McKinney. We made a fishing gear run. Got me a new riod and reel, minnow buckets, string, hooks, weights, corks, fish basket.... Ate at Hooters. Stopped to see the boys, but they were being tortured by Ashley, stuck in their room at 7pm for giving her a hard time, and both were asleep. I bet they got her up early this morning. ;-)
Today we shall wet a hook for the first time in months. Hope last nights full moon increases our chances of fish for dinner.
Oh....you might be saying, "where was Colby?". He had Saturday school (tutoring) and then played Black Ops with friends all afternoon. When Danny and i got back from McKnney, the friends were here and Colby was gone....to see Shayna in McKinney. I shall ask a few questions about this! Chelsey got home at midnight....she and friends went to Texas Mardi Gras at Fair Park. Yes, Fair Park. Now that she's home safe, it's okay, but while she was gone i was a little nervous about it. She came home with strings of beads and a smile.
Happy Sunday all....
