Best shopping trip ever....why didn't I think of this sooner?

Note reads "group Senior pictures are Wednesday morning at 8am, before the Seniors leave for a day at Main Event.". Okay I can handle this...it's the next sentence that threw us for a loop "boys must wear a shirt and tie under their cap and gown for the photos". WHAT? We were going to wait till the last possible second to get Colbys stuff, because I am in NO hurry for that fight. So, thinking quick, I asked Chelsey if she and Colby could go to The Foundrey shop I Frisco after school. Their task was a white shirt, dark color slacks amd a white under shirt.....I wait for my phone to ring after school. 1pm passes. 2pm passes. I text "did you make it okay". Shortly after, phone rings....her it comes, I just know it. Chelsey days, okay we got everything...it's at the counter for you to stop and pay for it on the way home. I could have fainted! So....after work, I stop by the shop and when I walk in, I said, I am here to pick up and pay for clothes for Colby. The guy says OH you are Mom? Damn...here it comes, what's he going to say? I say yes....why. He said, those two did great. He said they had fun deciding what to get and that he could tell "mom had given specific instructions". And that Chelsey was definitely in charge of the shopping spree. LOL. Then he said "great kids Ma'am...you must be so proud". I paid for the stuff and walked out on cloud 9. Looking around to make certain he was actually talking to ME!

Scholarship Awards Night

Scholarship Awards Night has come and gone.....both Chelsey and Colby received one for $500 each. Very nice to see them called to the stage. Actually I couldn't help but smile as each one was read aloud. In case you've ever wanted to know....a full ride football scholarship to Purdue has a value of $330,000.00. W.O.W. Only a couple of teary moments...one of her friends Mom passed away on New Years Eve. Chokes me up to see sweet Haley. The other was when one who's dad killed her mom, in a very high profile case a few years ago...the Grandmother is/has raised the kids. Lots of Sports $$$ awarded and Academics as well. A fun evening for the FFF. 17 days and counting.... PK

A great day!

Had a great Mother's Day! Up early, cooked breakfast....then everyone started rolling out of bed. Everyone gets ready and we head to Emory. Visit with Mom and Dad, Carla, Paul and Morgan. Then off to lunch at Sidekicks. Then we headed back to Greenville...couple of hour visit with Mary and Judy. Then we headed home.... I decided I would try Tank and his new colar. I walk out in the back yard...Duke takes one look at the colar and BOLTS thru the house to the front door. He never does this. I am trying to get him back out and he will NOT go. Finally it dawns on me....he thinks the leash is for HIM to go walking. He was determined! Danny gets up and gets Duke's colar and leash and off we go. Tank wants to run around the lake....so we run. Then we walk and then run again. He loved it! We made three laps then back to the house. But he was not ready to go home so we head down one more street and back. When we get home, he gets a big drink of water and poops out in the recliner with me. It's been a great Mother's Day...love you Mom, love you Carla...Happy Mother's Day. Love you Ashley... PK

Stay with me here.....you'll understand the title! Ticket # 1 comes in my name from a red light camera in Frisco....Colby's truck is in the photo. Ticket # 2 comes from that same truck "rolling a stop sign". Ticket # 3 cones from Chelsey and a party....which includes her license being suspended (long long story!) Ticket # 4 comes yesterday. Chelsey got her license back...and got stopped in her way home, for speeding. Grrrrrrrrrrrr! PK

And in case you are wondering.....23 days!!!

HMD 2 ME!

It's the little things sometimes.... I have looked at these damn shoes for a couple of months and I tell myself that I do not need them....but I wanted them. So....Today they were delivered to the house. When you wear an 11, it's not always possible to find them in a store. Happy Mothers Day to me. I LOVE them!!!
