Wow, What a Week!


This week has flown by so fast. Brian, the kids, and I spent all day spring cleaning the house! Everything is clean but our bedroom and the laundry room, funny how those two rooms never get cleaned. We have painted the office/scrap room but I can't pin Brian down to put my desk together. We will get to it eventually and I am use to being last.

Garrison has shocked me again this week! He wants to buy his girlfriend a diamond ring. I told him that a diamond was forever and that he needed to be sure that she was the right girl for him. Remember that he is only in the first grade! He told me that he was in love and that he was sure she was the one. I told him that diamond ring cost a lot of money, he then told me that he had 2,000 cents and that was enough. I don't know what I am going to do with him. This morning I found a night in his backpack from her that said she loved him! What is a mom to do, I am no longer #1.

I received the best surprise this week. My best friend from high school sent me a cd of all of the "Clubbing Songs" that we use to dance too. It really brought back some happy times! I miss all of my "old friends". I keep telling the kids to enjoy their childhood because when you get older life happens and it is hard to stay in touch. Elizabeth doesn't think their is a world outside of "Mayberry".

We bought Duke (our mini Schnauzer) an electric fence this week. He keeps running off into the neighborhood when Garrison or Elizabeth takes him out. The poor dog was scared to death the first two days. We had to force him off of the deck or the front porch. Brian was wrestling with him last night in our bedroom floor and the collar went off. Brian had ran the cord to the fence under our room to the box in the basement. So now we are going to have to re-run the wire. Our poor baby!

Pray for me this weekend, I am in the middle of finishing up W-2's and taxes!

Atlanta


We went to Atlanta this past weekend so Brian could buy a boat. I wanted to stay at home and get some rest but I was talked into going. Well, I can't go to Atlanta without going shopping, right? I ended up at the Pottery Barn Outlet. I bought the Bedford desk collection from them for a fourth of the original cost and then I got an additional 20% off! I am so excited now I can start working on my office! Here is a picture of the collection. I bought the double lateral filing cabinets, 1 two draw cabinet, and the desk top. I am hoping to get the chair the next time we go up. The outlet said that they get this collection in a lot. I will never buy anything directly from them again because they have just about everything in the outlet!

Well, Brian bought the boat. It is a 21 foot Bayliner and it needs some TLC. The boat is bigger than our truck. Our yard looks like a boat yard! If anyone wants a boat give me a call!

I can't wait till Friday!


Oh what a day! School started today, the auditor's are at the office and I am knee deep in taxes! I can't wait till this weekend! We are going to go to Atlanta and I could use another break! I guess last week spoiled me just a little. Oh, well I am going to get back to work.

Here is my dream car! Maybe one of these days I will be able to buy one! This is a 1965 289 engine convertible. I would rather have a black top but at this point I would take this one!

Happy New Years!


Wow! I can't believe that my nine year old daughter has talked me into this! I have no idea when I will have time to do this, I work two full-time jobs, going to school full-time to finish my accounting degree and I am the mother of two!

Congrats to the Tennessee Hatcher's! On Wednesday Dec. 28th they had a bouncing baby boy, named Jackson Aidan Hatcher. Wow! 8lbs and 1 oz.
