Almost a whole week without blogging, I hate when I don't have time to keep up here. I am just about finished with my webpage project, just making a few changes and I will for sure give you the link here once it is officially "live". I'm sure that once the programer and site manager finish with it, it won't be exactly the way I designed it but that's kinda what happens when you have so many people involved with one project. I think I like designing and publishing my websites completely on my own because there are some things that have been changed which I wouldn't have changed but they are the ones paying for it so I just have to go along with it.

Not much going on this weekend, I drove limo last night and took tonight off so that I could hopefully be finished with everything by tonight. My sister wants us to go see Sweet Home Alabama with her this weekend and I have a zillion adoptions to catch up on. I also have a few graphics to change now that my new monitor has shown me that some of my graphics aren't exactly how I pictured them. If you haven't received graphics/adoptions requested from me recently please be patient, hopefully I will be caught up by Monday.

Speaking of Monday the kids don't have school so I will have to come up with something for them to do, to keep them busy and to keep me from going nuts. I told Brittany about all of your warm wishes regarding her "presidency", she was very happy and said thank you. Her little "friend" who lost the election hasn't been very nice to her. She has been complaining to everyone at school that Brittany gets "everything" she wants such as parts for their class plays, solos for their concerts and now this. I am so mad because I know that Brittany works very hard for every part/solo she gets and I also know that her music teacher has passed her up for solos because she wants to give everyone a chance to have one. She has outright said that she wanted to give Brittany a particular solo but had to be fair and give other girls a chance to have a solo. If Brittany was a little snot then I wouldn't worry about people talking about her like that, but she isn't. I know I'm her mom and I might be biased but anyone who knows Brittany says that she is so sweet and kind and it hurts me that people are so petty because they are jealous of her. She is always happy for the other girls who get the solos that she wanted and she doesn't make them feel bad or throw it in their faces that the only reason she didn't get the solo was because the teacher had to be fair to everyone else. I know I shouldn't get mad because this shit will only get worse as she gets older but I can't help it. When someone hurts my kids they hurt me 100 times worse.

OMG, I was just sitting here blogging thinking about how boring things have been around here when I heard motorcycles zooming outside the front of the house. There was honking and engines revving, I ran outside to find hundreds of motorcycles flying by as Anthony and his cousin stood in the driveway waving at them. Everyone was waving back and honking at them. It was so cute. All of the bikes were a rally for the Roger Maris Cancer Center 61 for 61. I wish I would have taken my camera with, it really was cool to see all of those Harleys zooming by. I completely forgot that they were doing the fundraising this weekend. There are a whole bunch of events going on this weekend, I think I'm gonna drag my family out of the house for a worthy cause, to donate money and to keep my sanity by getting away from this house! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

I think I am having graphic block, I just can't seem to focus on much of anything, particularly the project I am on serious deadline to finish. I did get a new moniter and lets just say there are a few graphics I have done that the colors are way off for. Ugh. I have some serious work to do to get everything changed but like I said I just can't focus so it will have to wait.

Brittany won the election and is now student council president of her school. She is very excited but at the same time she felt bad because she was running against a friend of hers and the friend didn't take the loss very well. I think she was just sad and didn't want to cry in front of anyone so she ran home but Brittany thought the girl was mad at her because they usually walk home together. Brittany went bike riding with her friends and found out that the girl wasn't mad just a little disappointed. I just feel bad that Britt couldn't be completely happy about her win because her friend was upset. Although she did admit that it was pretty cool to bang on the table with the mallet and adjourn her first meeting this afternoon. I just told her I was glad she won......and I didn't even have to bake cookies to bribe all the kids! ROFL

Anthony has suddenly become "too scared" to go to bed. I know it's just an excuse to not go to bed, but John is really worried that he is scared of something in his room. So the two of them have been going through his room (the mess is about the only scary thing in there!) looking for what could be scaring him. Last night Anthony's "Mr. Potato Head" game was put to rest because it was too scary. John removed the batteries so that it didn't make any more scary noises. I just rolled my eyes because I know that Anthony isn't scared he just doesn't want to go to bed! Men are so gullible! Yes dear, I'm talking to you. Don't get mad, you know it's true. lol

The weekend flew by way too fast. The Storybook breakfast was a lot of fun. The kids had a great time and won lots of cute prizes. Brittany is looking forward to when she will be the one dressed up as a character although I was happy to see her still having fun and not growing up too fast. I'm glad I was able to keep that imagine of her in my mind as we got her ready to go to her very first wedding dance without me there.

She has a new girl in her class and this girl's mom got married on Saturday. Brittany was invited to the wedding dance. She got all dressed up, she wore her bridesmaid dress from my wedding, and we did up her hair and a bit of makeup. She looked so grown up and so excited to be going to a dance on her own. I dropped her off at the reception and told her to call John when she was ready to be picked up. I had a limo run that wasn't over until 1am so I wouldn't be home. At 11pm I called John and he still hadn't heard from Brittany, I wasn't too worried, I figured she'd be calling any minute. At 11:30 I checked back in, still no Brittany. Finally at midnight when there was still no call I told him to go right there and find her and call me immediately. She is too young to be dancing till midnight! lol I guess she was having so much fun she didn't even realize what time it was, she had a great time and waited up for me to come home so that she could tell me all about it.

This morning Anthony and I went to the school again for Monday Morning Mom's and now we are just waiting for the girls to come home from school so that we can go into town. John is making me buy a new computer moniter. We had a small fire a little over a year ago and the side of my moniter melted. Amazingly the moniter still works but the colors are a little off which as I'm sure you can imagine makes it hard to do graphics. So with my new project John has insisted that I get a new one.

The girls are home so I'd better get going. Have a great night! :-)
