Happy Happy Hump Day!

One on the nursing instructors keep telling our class that we have to "fake it until we make it".
So this is what I am doing today.
Faking that all is good until it is good!
I'll let you know how it goes ;-)

Things are crazy here right now.
Bai has volleyball (YEAH, she made the team this year!!!).
Mase has soccer.
Shawn is coaching soccer (go soccer dad!)
School started back for the kiddos.
I'm knee deep and 15 text books into the nursing program.

We all just do our best.
Hope you all are having an awesome time.
Catch ya later.
Hugs and loves.

Mondays ROCK!!

OK, so maybe I am just trying to convince myself of this. LOL!
Back to school today.
No biggie, just more to do.
Kind of excited to get hands on, and have the bs classes behind me.

Must say a couple of things before I continue to blog.
1. Totally forgot to shout out Donna B's HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! It's late I know but I didn't forget, just haven't got everything ready for you. We will carry on the traditions of late birthdays.
2. Speaking of Donna B...thank you sweetie for the card. Much needed and totally made me smile.
3. Miss sweet Leah....thank you for the card that I received in the mail today. Part of my (real) Monday ROCKS!! And also note, I took your advice...ummmm order, to update my blog. LOL! Thanks for caring girlies and continued support.

Now in other 'm' news:
I got my hair straightened.
OH DONNA....must tell you all about this process.
I have had a hate/hate relationship with my hair and cannot even remember the last time I really loved loved loved it.
But thanks to the talented Kelly, I have a love/like relationship with my hair now.
Seriously straight, smooth, and shiny (yes Donna shiny, smooth hair!) WITHOUT 2 hours of straightening and $50 worth of products!!!!!!!!
In fact went to bed with hair wet, woke up, brushed, and wah-laaa, tamed hair!
This is HUGE FOR ME!!!
I'll try and find a better pic but this is all I could find right now. Note the Bailey pose with Bai in the background. Makes me giggle.

Out on the boat yesterday. Took some friends and their daughter. Did the fun "jumping"pictures! This one was my fav.Mason trying to do a back flip. Didn't quite get there. But he will.
My little ham in the background....
OH.... doing a Stampin' Up party. If any of ya want to order they have a catalog online. Let my know by Sept 12th.

Going to get the dishes done and some homework read. Have a 4-9 shift tonight, so I am off.

Loves and hugs.

Blog.
This one word has been on my list for the past month!
I mean SERIOUSLY!!!!
It is obvious I have not found balance this year not do I manage my time well.
Although I do manage to get some things done (believe it or not).
There will be no way for me to catch up on all that has been going on here.....but here is a itty bitty quick peek. Wii (we) have been bit by the Wii bug and I am obsessed with the wii fit. LOVE, L-O-V-E that thing!!! Totally makes me smile and I feel really great doing the games/exercises. Plus the kids love it. I must say this is a total surprise because I am soooooooo not a game playing kind of girl. Love our Wii!
Made some hula hoops with Nae and her bf. Totally love that girl. She is putting more laughter into my life.
Not saying much about this picture.....but EVERY time I look at it, I totally LOL (literally)!
The family on vacation. We had a cabin on Kentucky Lake. Very relaxing.
My ham....I mean my man. Grrrrrrr, he is such a babe.
