Wow…..it’s just been a crazy week! This has been interesting! First of all I have 8 daycare kids now and I am glad to be full but that doesn’t include my own three so it’s a a lot of fun around here in child playland! I had another lady call me yesterday to ask if I was taking anymore kids and I had to tell her no! I wish I could handle more or I would take them but I need to be able to spread myself around….ya know? The funny thing about this whole daycare thing is I swore when I was younger that I would NEVER do it!!! My mom, my grandma, my aunts, my sister…..they all did it and I hated it growing up so I would always tell them “I would rather prostitute myself than do daycare!” So of course they laugh it up that I am doing it. But I love it. Yes it is exhausting and emotionally demanding at times but I love to be home for my girls especially as a single parent. Plus I am very lucky and all my kiddos are great. Okay…..that was a tangent….been busy with kids all week.
Then today was another QuicKutz deadline so I have been busy all week trying to meet that deadline. I did get to UPS yesterday to send my work off so that is good! I don’t have another packet sitting here waiting for me which is a first so I hope to enjoy some “personal” scrapping this weekend! But first I need to take care of the house while the girls are at their Dad’s. I need a lawn boy. like REEEALLY bad! Oh and he would need to mow my lawn too! (hee hee! Couldn’t resist!) The grass has finally turned green again and it needs mowed! BAD! So lawnwork, oil change, car wash…..just a FEW things I need to do this weekend. BORING!!!! OH!!!!! Another thing I got done this week……THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH ELLY!!!!! My taxes are done! I hate tax time. I don’t know why it stresses me out so bad but it does! And I am excited! Let’s just say I will be able to REALLY enjoy my trip to Hawaii the end of June!!!! I still need to tell some of my parents about the week I need off! Yikes! Anyway…Elly helped me file (she’s my SIL) and I owe her big time! You’re da bomb girl!
Sick kids again! Sooooo Bailee was home this week with flu-like symptoms but got well in a few days. Then yesterday my little Macey ended up in the Hospital again as they tried to figure out what was wrong with her. I got a call from the school nurse saying Macey had a 101 temp and she was doubled over in pain crying. I had her Dad go get her and he took her to emergency right away. After tests and bloodwork they found out she has a bladder infection…..poor thing! They treated her with anti-biotics and we are just glad it wasnt her appendix! CRAZY! Macey seems to be my “sick” kid! Something is always going on with her….so sad!
After the drama subsided and Macey was feeling 100% better…..I managed to squeeze some fun in last night while my girls were with Tom. My sister Hillary bought us some tickets to Country Thunder! It was FREAKIN’ RAD!!!!! 
We got there in time to see Trace Adkins and then the big draw…..BIG & RICH!!!! I love these guys….some say they aren’t country but I like all kinds of music and they make me shake my ba-dunk-a-dunk…….so that’s all that matters. 
Got home reeeeeally late but it was worth it! I am going to see Take the Lead with Hillary tonight so I am stoked! I have been eagerly waiting to see Antonio work his magic on the dance floor. I am all over the soundtrack for this movie too!!!!! I will give you a review on it this weekend! Anyway….hope everyone has a great weekend!
Oh! I am still reading and studying everyday for my 21 day challenge but I just haven’t been able to keep up with the actual pages for my journal! I am going to work on some today and hopefully get caught up!

I hope Macey will feel better soon. I wish we had something like Country Thunder around here but no chance… Have a great weekend and I can’t wait to see more of your 21 day challenge page.

omg - i dunno - TWO country music posts in one week?!?! i might have to ban myself from this blog!
good luck on finding that perfect “lawn boy” - i’m not a big desperate housewives fan, but didn’t the guy that played eva longoria’s lawn boy/lover get fired? maybe he’s looking for a job… i’d hire a lawn boy who looked like that is a heartbeat!
sorry your dd was sick again - she sure has had a tough time. poor girl.
enjoy your weekend!
