Okay, my limo quotes ranged from $1350.00 to $2300.00.....so, we are going to plan B, as soon as i figure out what that is!
Their wrist corsages and lapel flowers are safe in the frig. I requested teal flowers.....they landed at the airport from Holland at noon today and i picked them up at the florist at 2:30. Now.....i didnt request Holland freaking flowers, the florist chose to do that, not me! Just so you know, teal orchids do exist. They have a lot of purple, but beautiful just the same. Photos to follow. Colby and date have matching ruffled roses that are white with gold ribbons, from Holland as well. I smilled big when i picked them up. DJ's Floral in Lewisville did great!
So....tomorrow, shoes, jewelry, hair, make up, and home so that she can dress. Colby will probably run in, shower, and throw on his clothes. Someone knew just what i needed....a boy and a girl, NOT two girls!
More Prom Weekend posts to come....but no limo.

Need a LIMO!!!!!
Colby and friends have gotten screwed out of their deposit and limo for Saturday.....trying really hard to save the day. Hope i can pull it off somehow. Carla thanks for the info. Going to try that in the morning. I have half my friends on alert! 12 people will not fit in all our vehicles! I am sure there will be more story to this in the next 48 hours.
He picked up his tux today. He looks great in it. Danny had a field day trying on Colby's size 17 shoes.....Chelsey and i both posted a picture on our Facebook pages, check them out.
Chelsey got her nails done today. Gel, so it will last. If u have not tried, yes, more exoensive, but lasts and does not chip. Highly recommend!
Another late night....tomorrow will knock out another month end, thank goodness, been a rough one! I started in the mortgage business September of 1984.....would probably make me shiver if i counted the number of "end of the months" that i have made it thru!
Off to bed soon....night night.

He's coming home Monday!
Dad update: i talked to him on my way home from work, yes, just a bit ago, and he's coming home on Monday. He sounds wonderful and happy that this whole ordeal is almost over. 5 weeks is a long time....made me cry after i hung up with him....i think relief finally hit me. Then i collected myself, and talked to Mom, and YOU sounded good too, SO, i teared up again after we hung up. I am the terrible daughter, that cant make it down often enough. Gotta figure out how to change that somehow, i promise. I love u, just know that!

I talked to Dad last night
Dad sounded really good last night when i talked to him. Colby said the same thing. He says that he should get to come home Friday or Monday. Sure hope so! I think the physical therapy is doing him a lot of good. If you checked out Carla's Blog, then you can see he is really skinny. He requested that Mom bring him green apples and a dill pickle. Least it wasn't oysters...
Tuesday, Tuesday, here we come. Saturday is prom times TWO this year. Cant wait to see Chelsey and Colby all dressed up. I feel a big photo opportunity coming.... Should be a blast getting Colby into a tux. He sweats in shorts and a t-shirt, so i can only imagine how this is going to be. And then there is Princess Chelsey.....enough said.
Have a good day all!

An Easter recap...
Okay....we are way past hunting eggs at our house, so....i'd like to share just how we spent Easter.
First i wake up early and begin chopping chicken and celery to make homemade chicken salad sandwiches on hawaiian bread, with a little lettuce. Danny wakes up and becomes my taste tester. Add this, needs, that, etc. Finally it tastes like what i intended. Next, he proceeds to ask me if we are taking drinks or anything else. I asked him if we were packing for just us or for buffett as usual. He seems completely aggitated at me for asking...well, i didnt plan it, nor did i talk to anyone, so i begin to think i have screwed up. So.....i dig oit chips, plates, napkins, trash bags and make a fresh fruit salad. We need to leave by noon to make it by 1:30pm, so at 12:15 i get "the look" and we fling everything in Chelsey's car and head out. On the way, the kids want a snack and drink, so we stop in McKinney and hit the road again. We get there 15 minutes late, according to Mr Fenter. Oh well, we made it and everyone was already kicked back in chairs. Of course, i had to pee...so, i trapse to the woods and back. Everyone is eatting, talking and watching the fishing being done by Jeannine's precious grandkids. Karley (or is it Kharley?) caught a few. Kentlee and Klye were the most entertainment that i have seen in a while. Kyke had a pet worm named John, i think. He dug in the worm dirt for quite a while. After a bit, a turtle was caught. The boys were ALL eyes and beyond hysterically funny to all the adults sitting around. He touched the turtle too. Next was the egg hunt. Somehow i missed it, but they all came back with baskets and buckets full. Kyle decided he needed a drink, so he went after some tea and stuck his finger in the glass to taste it.....remember the worms? We all burst out laughing when he did it. He also wound up with chocolate on his forehead, which Jeannine said looked like poop, so she wiped him down. The next 30 minutes or so were spent breaking conffetti eggs on everyone. Thiose boys were better than any tv show to watch. So dang cute!
Danny says "time to go" so we head to Megan's to give Hayden his bug watch. I am sure she appreciated that we woke him up only to try and get him to talk and play......then we piled back into the car to head home. We go thru Tawakoni, since it has been forever that i drove that way. Nothing has changed....seemed a little more run down.
Colby wants McDonald's as we go thru Quinlan....Danny does not, so we agree on eatting in Greenville, at Shamari's. We get there, order and we wait and wait and wait....finally Danny asks the waiter "what's up buddy" and the guy says "they forgot to butterfky her filet" so they are cooking a new one. Again, a Danny glare, as if it was all my fault that the cooks goofed up my steak Chelsey is not happy that we stopped, so she's "not eatting". We scarf down our food and head towards home.
Upon arriving home, Dallas arrives.....now i get why Chelsey is pissed that we stopped to eat. We all strip to comfy clothes and watch tv. Danny and i do dishes just prior to going to bed for the night. I do not wash in the same order he prefers, so again "the look".
Then, before 10pm, we are all in bed....because it is discovered that we are out of Cheer, and no one can wash clothes. I am sure that was my fault as well......Hope everyone had a great Easter. Carla your pictures look so peaceful....next year i'll pick up Jeannine and the boys and come to you house. Paul and Klye can name the worms!
Love to all,
Pam

Come hail or high water...
We made it home just a little ahead of the storms. The hail is getting old......
Spent Easter down under a tree by Douglas and Bobbie's former home. Felt a bit odd to not have the two of them there, but i will say Kentlee and Kyle were pretty entertaining....they fished, played with worms and hunted eggs. They are so dang cute! And Kharley caught a few fish and a turtle. She's growing up so fast!
Thunder and lightening are TERRIBLE at the moment! Happy Easter to all!
Love,
Pam
