Amazing how two kids can share a womb, arrive at the exact same time and be so dang different.....this afternoon 'ring ring' cell phone, can't answer at that moment, ring ring desk phone....Chelsey's number. She's obviously got something going on, so I answer. "Mom....in a pitiful voice, what time will you be home?" Not sure sweetie, have a lot going on, what's up? Sillence....then in a sniffly voice she says she's failing Accounting. And that her GPA has fallen as well as her class rank. She said all this without taking a breath..... Ever read this about Colby? That would be a negatory. Turns out she missed two papers, and got zeros.....I came home and shes at the table and has completed all her homework for the next three weeks. Is double and triple checking it. She's OCD like me, so she puts it all in order, punches holes just so and checks it all again. I feel sorry for her, but even more so for the accounting teacher that Chelsey has requested an early morning tutoring session with first thing in the morning.... Again, same womb, born same time, and so different...night and day, salt and pepper, oil and vinegar....
Jeannine....you should write for the Rains County Leader....there's never been a person to replace Pauline....it's your calling, go for it!
Paul and Carla, thanks for wiring in the sunshine this after afternoon, now focus on WARMTH please!
TGIF tomorrow!
Pam
Off to play Words with Friends with Megan....word to the wise.....never think you can beat a former teacher, but it's fun trying!

Meetings...meetings....
Two solid days of meetings....at The Four Seasons Hotel in Las Colinas. Yes, the one where the Byron Nelson is held...yes, the one that the last time I was there, Steven Tyler walked out of an elavator right in front of me..... (the new judge on American Idol). Tired tonight. Back to the office tomorrow.
Poor Colby, as Carla says....is toeing the line right now. Still no court date decided yet, but it will be soon Once Danny figures it out, as stated before, I AM NOT GOING!!!!!!
Love to all and Happy Hump Day tomorrow,
Pam

Chipolte bowl anyone?
Until about 6 weeks ago, I had never tried Chipolte. Well....let's just say Chelsey talked me into trying it and I LOVE it. So.....this rainy Sunday, I made it at home instead of going to eat. Yep.....Lime, cilantro, rice. Pork or chicken. Black beans. Fresh guacamole. Sour cream and monteray Jack cheese. Pico Colby just inhaled a bowl of it....I think he liked it. Chelsey is eating a bowl now....winner winner!
Who's it going to be for the Super Bowl? I think Tom Brady will be in Dallas. (or should I say Arlington, thank you former mayor of Dallas for that). Just not sure who he'll face...
Hope you've all stayed dry this weekend. Let's see...we've had snow and rain. Maybe this week we will see SUNSHINE!!!!
XOXO,
Pam

Update of our week....and a few notes to others.
First of all...Happy Birthday Karen. Hope Its a great day
Megan....love the home tour. Very pretty. Kelly.....I think you should just buy a frame and put it over little ones art work on the wall. Let him sign and date it! Marla....hope your first week was good. Carla and Paul....I think puppy and kitty look cold! Jeff....looks like you has a great time with the ice sword....Darth Jeffer!
Now....to the FFF. Colby is grounded...skipped school Monday. Said "he just didn't want to go". He's pretty clear now on it not being optional. He also understands that the school has a fancy auto call system to let parents know and that it calls every number of record. He was home Thursday night and saw CISD on the caller ID and was like WHAT??? Recording said "Chelsey Fenter missed the following classes today, first and second.". Danny and I get home at the same time and he can't WAIT to share the call with us....funny thing is I knew she missed. He was so disappointed...
Speaking of Chelsey, she's had a dull week. Went shopping for an outfit Thursday night in Allen. That's about it. She doesn't like to drive where she is not familuar, so a friend drove. Least we do not have to worry about her getting lost!
Danny finally got past the 12 hour shifts of ice and snow. He's off Monday for MLK and then Wednesday for some other holiday. He'll get the pleasure of meeting the Judge with Colby. Remember, I might be recognized....NOT going!
As for me....busy work week. First full 5 days in a month. My funny this week? Chelsey had deferred adjudication for her ticket....90 days clean, drivers Ed and it gets dropped. 1/4 was 90 days....she completed drivers Ed and didn't get a ticket. All we had to do was get the cert and a signed affidavit to the court. So......all week the info went back and forth to Lewisville with me. I remember it Thuraday night and actually took it out to read the next step. On the bottom, in fine print, MUST be received within 10 days after the 90th day. Let's calculate together....January 4th plus 10 was YESTERDAY......OMGosh, almost missed it. So, I stop in Frisco on way to work, with all the info, proudly present It to the clerk....it was signed by Chelsey, notarized, boxes checked, UMMM, but the problem is I checked BOTH boxes...not just one. She hands it back to me....I see stripes for both Chelsey and I in our future. So.....new form, drive to work, fax it to the school, text Chelsey to go to office to sign, check ONE box, have Mrs Massey notarize and bring it home. I'll make another run Monday. Chelsey text and said "is anything going to happen to me Mom?". I wanted to say....we'll be running off to Mexico tonight, but instead I told her we will have another day before jail is in our future. So.........I am NOT going to Court with Colby Wednesday, or they will whisper and point that I am the one with out of control 16 year old twins and it's no wonder, look at how much of a mess SHE is!
Next...came home to empty house last night after work...except Lily. She's asleep in her chair. Runs to greet me and I see mud all over her, the chair, the wood floors, the kitchen tile....she spent the day outside. So.....I toss her in the tub, which she HATES and get her al, squeaky clean again. Pick up mid clods, wipe down furniture and clean up floors. Then in play Words with Friends (name is "PK I am") until the kids get home. Both made curfew!
After all this....what will I do today? Going shopping...a little retail therapy is just what I need! Glad The FFF could entertain you once again. I still can't believe all this crap really happens around here....same for the stolen lap top with all the super bowl security info. Saw it on the news last night, I do not believe the story, even if it is Steve and Heather reporting it!

Minus 20
A friend of a friend posted on facebook that it was -20 in MN. That makes me shiver to even type it. Went In at 10 today, after I took Chelsey to school. Blasted out at 5pm, to make it home before dark. Drug all the left overs out of the frig and dinner was served. Duke enjoyed the rest. I'm ready for spring......do not like the cold weather at all. Stay warm and hope everyone has a good Tuesday. I just hope we do not have a re-freeze! Danny made it thru day 2 of snow and ice. Woohoo!

A button nose and two eyes made out of coal...
No snowman here, but there is plenty to make one. I am getting cabin fever! Christmas tree is finally down and back to the attic. I text Danny and said "trees down, you can come on home now.". Laundry done. Breakfast, lunch and snack out of the way. Lily goes outside and then turns to me as if to say WHAT is this? She does not like it. Colby just returned from pulling our neighbor out of the snow. Words with friends, facebook and football are just not keeping me entertained.
Dallas just left...not sure what that means these days. Back to the kitchen, to see what else I can cook. It WILL NOT be the deer chili meat Danny laid out. Gags me to smell it coking!
Love to all
Pam
