Studmuffin crying because of his mini me...

He-man came in tonight and was talking to us. He was making plans for tomorrow and squaring them up with us. His birthday is Saturday and he was seeing about Saturday too. We were trying to have a conversation, but the clown boy kept coming through.

Finally, He-man says, HEY, can you wait a minute??? So then the comedian was challenged. He kept interrupting and because we were laughing at him, he just kept going. (think energizer bunny on speed)

So finally, we said GEORGE. STOP. Go in the other room!

So he goes out and was crying because nobody loves him anymore. He was crying because he couldn't be in on the family discussion.

So He-man actually got a complete thought out and about that time, George comes around the corner and says......but I have Comcast digital voice!!

I don't know if you had to be there, but I have never seen my husband laugh so hard. He was crying. We all were. I sure hope one day he can channel that creativity!!

Paragon

Since I am a member of the National Association of Realtors and a few other boards, not because I am good or anything, but because I paid them lots of money.....haha Well, that's not really funny, but you know what I mean.

I am able to sign on to this Paragon system that gives me the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) at my fingertips. No more are the days like when my parents were in real estate and carried around their huge MLS books.

Well, tonight when I logged on, it said sales, 1. I clicked on the 1 to see what it was because I had never seen it before.

Lo and behold, my lease that I finished up completely and handed over the keys for today was logged on the system when they took it out of the MLS.

So I had my very first transaction closed today. Wooo hoooo I have had my physical license in my hand about 2 weeks or so now. Now, if I can keep up that pace, life will be good :)

Guess which hard headed child did this???

If you guessed Suzi from looking at it, you'd be right. This is what she printed off the puter and put on my refrigerator. Yes, it's a food pyramid, but did you look closely? Up on the top right she has crossed off some things.

I can't begin to imagine this child's house when she grows up and moves away. This is the one who gets mad at us for killing bugs. YES, BUGS. She hasn't eaten meat in at least a good 6 months.

She's still trying to sell us on the idea of eating Morning Star products. UMMM, no, thank you. Just take one look at these "bacon strips" and you'll know what I mean....

I'm thinking I would not even feed something like that to JACK! It kind of looks like a doggy treat, though, doesn't it?

If she wants to be a vegetarian, more power to her, but don't think you'll ever hear me say I don't want to go eat some BBQ!!

Hey, New Girl!

When I moved to Florida when I was 13.....yeah, great time for a girl to move away from the only state she had ever known....I started at a middle school and was scared to death. When I went with my mom to register, a girl in the office said to a guy in the office....look what just walked in. Well, I to this day have no idea what she meant by it, but it was very traumatic. I really hated it there.

I went all day without really making any friends. I knew the girl who lived next door to me, but she was in a different grade and really had a clique of friends. Anyway, I had PE my last period of the day. I remember our teacher was going to talk to us, so we were all sitting in the locker room waiting. I hear this, "Hey! New girl! Come here!"

Who me??? hahaha

And from there, we became very good friends. From there, our parents became good friends. There was lots of golf played between our dads. Liz was in my wedding, and I babysat for her son when I was preggo with Suzi.

I found out today that her dad passed away suddenly.

It really doesn't seem possible. It seems like yesterday that we met. Our parents are not supposed to be passing on...

Rest in Peace, David.

Double date night

UGGGGH

I had a post typed, and I got an error and lost it!

As I was saying, my baby boys went on a double date tonight to the movies. I am so glad they get along so well. Actually, all three of them get along pretty well when Suzi isn't being annoying. (The brothers said that, not me :))

I am glad Mariah is back in the picture too! I missed her and so did Suzi! She was the rock band pro playing the drums back near George's birthday. She and George didn't get to see much of each other for a while because she is a year older and went to the high school. Now that he's at the high school, I think they are hanging out quite a bit. She's a good kid.

She's the one that did this...


George has it hanging on his wall in his room. He was quite proud of it!

They all got in the car giggling and telling me all about the movie they saw. Good kids, good times!

I missed my studmuffin!

Do you ever feel like you are on auto pilot?

Things are going to turn out the way they are going to turn out, so why worry?

Take this week for instance. Studmuffin was gone to Arizona for a couple of days. (I have pics if I ever get a chance to get them on the puter) But as luck would have it (which generally I don't have any) but I did not have to work at the office any this week until tomorrow.

It's a good thing! I have been SOOO busy. 1 kid here, 1 kid there, pick up this one, drop off this one. And in between those times, I have been showing houses. I look back and think WOW, I made it through! But then I think with even more emotion that I AM SO GLAD I HAVE MY HUBBY! He may snore and make other strange noises during the night, but I missed him and am glad he's home :)

An accidental good picture!

My Studmuffin was messing around with the new cell phone and was snapping pictures left and right. This picture here was like the 4th one he took. One was of the back of my head. One was me turning around with a surprised look on my face. One was me saying WHAT are you doing. And then there's this one. Suzi said, take mine too!!!!
