Last Day Of The Month Of May ...

Good Afternoon ...


Do you realize that tomorrow begins the first day of the month that ends the first half of the year? ... yeah ... think about it ...

Another busy week ... wow!



Graduation on Monday ...


Computer problems to be solved on Tuesday ...


Work, housework, and a little R&R on Wednesday ...


And another graduation today - Thursday ...


We had an 8th grade graduation to attend this morning for Marshall Roberts (the brother to Margaret who graduated from High School on Monday - who Mom is also "Nana" to)


It was a very nice ceremony and we went to lunch afterwards ...


Now it's back to work!



So ... LeAnna's "many questions" that she comes up with ... she came up with a doozie a couple of days ago ...


She must have really been pondering some stuff ... I don't even remember exactly what we were doing ... but she was quiet and had been "thinking" ... then she said, "Mommy, does God have a wife?"


So I said ... Ah ... no ... (the whole time, in my mind I'm thinking ... okay ... she's had LOTS of questions about marriage, babies, having babies if you're not married, getting married again so you can have a baby, etc. lately ... so I was bracing myself for what was next) ...


She had a funny look on her face and then she said ... "but every King needs a Queen" ...


how sweet is that!


"Exactly", I said ... (all the while thinking ... okay, how do I explain the church is the bride, or the "queen" I could say ... or no, wait ... maybe I should refer to it as God being the Prince and the church is the Princess .... aaahhhhh .... what should I say next?! ... how do you explain something like this to a 5 year old ... hmmm ...)


then she said ...


"Oh, I get it ... I'm God's little Princess" ...


(Okay ... yep ... good enough for me!)


So I said ... "that's exactly right"! (so glad that I didn't have to try and confuse her with the intricacy of church history and bibilical philosophies)



Leave it to LeAnna bug ...




Here's a random thought for today ...

"The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread."

Making Memories and Sharing Memories ...

Margaret Bradford Roberts
Harpeth Hall Graduate 2007

Good Morning ...



Guess I need to "recap" on the weekend ... since I haven't posted since Thursday ...



Thursday and Friday LeAnna had a sleepover with Kaitlyn ... they had so much fun ... what was fun for me, is that LeAnna had someone to play with and she wasn't saying, "Mommy, I need someone to play with!!!!!" ... every few minutes ... She is SO used to having 15 friends everyday at preschool ... so "summer break" is a BIG adjustment for her! Last summer we did 2 days a week ... but this summer I decided not to do anything ...



Saturday I did errands ... got a pedicure while Nate and LeAnna played miniature golf (she got a hole in one!!!) ... did a little shopping (Dillards had a 75% off sale with another 50% off of that!!!!) Oh yeah! My kind of shopping! ... Had dinner with friends ... had two teenagers over from church ... and prepared for Sunday School.



Sunday ... went to church ... went to lunch ... took a itty bitty nap ... went to church at our friends church where Nate had to speak ... went to Cheddars in Hendersonville afterward ... new experience for us ... very good food, very reasonable ... will definitely make it a point to go back.



Monday ... Memorial Day ... took LeAnna to McDonalds for breakfast (inside) - that's a big deal to her ... she played for a bit on the playground, then on to do a little more shopping for a graduation we attended last night. Went to a lunch at the Camacho's - who had a group over from church and a spread of great food! We had to leave a bit early so we could get dressed for a graduation ... Margaret, one of the children who Mom has been a "Nana" to since she was born, graduated from Harpeth Hall yesterday ... Margaret will be 19 in July ... and is planning on going to Paris to model ... When I graduated from High School, she was born two months later ... so I have seen her grow and mature over the last 19 years ... only proves one thing ... #1 - I'm getting old ... #2 - Time REALLY does fly! Because I remember "moments" over the last 19 years as if it were yesterday ... Margaret was almost 4 when we got married ... she was our miniature bride ... doesn't hardly seem possible ... it's almost as if someone put a "life remote" in my hands and I fast forwarded into the future to this day ... weird ...



So we went to the graduation last night at 6pm ... and no one told me that it is "tradition" at Harpeth Hall that ALL graduations are on the lawn OUTSIDE ... okay ... so ... yep ... we were smeltering ... all dressed up ... LeAnna did great, but her cheeks were SO red because it was SO hot ... she did ask several times when it would be over ... =)



Then we went to a dinner for Margaret at her home afterwards ... so many people ... such good food ... I had Mom's video camera and made her a video throughout the night ... I taped special moments at the graduation and then got special video messages from most of her family, special friends, and special people who helped her get to this special moment in her life ... Mom took her the video this morning ... they have lots of videos because of my Mom and Dad ... my Dad was the KING of video! We have SO many videos ... you can't even imagine ... literally hundreds of VHS tapes ... I'm sure plenty of you reading this are on a video we have somewhere! ha!



Mentioning my Dad, brings me to "Memorial Day" ... which is a day set aside to honor those who sacrificed for our freedom ... My dad was in the Airforce and got "more" than he bargained for overseas ... he contracted a disease called MS (multiple sclerosis) due to being on the ground when they sprayed Agent Orange ... most of my life he was sick from it ... he lived a good life ... and was a good man ... but he struggled with his disabilities and eventually succumbed to it on January 23, 1999. So in essence ... he sacrificed his "normal life" overseas, while fighting for our freedom ... I think about it frequently, but it's nice to have a day set aside to reflect and "remember".



I trust you had a safe, Happy Memorial Day ... and maybe reflected on someone in your life that was worthy of "remembrance" yesterday.

The Preschool Class of 2007 ...

Good Evening ...

Today was LeAnna's preschool graduation party ...

They only invited the parents to come ... so we took lots of pictures and video for the family to see.

She was so excited and had a great time ... this was her final "good-bye" to her fellow classmates and teachers.

Yep ... there were tears at times ... especially when the teacher read a letter "to the parents" after their little diplomas were passed out ...
Let me tell you what "put it into perspective" for me ... there was a powerpoint presentation of tons of pictures of the children at school and at the end of the presentation, there was a page of text that read ... "Class of 2020" ...
yep ... wow! ... perspective ... hmmm ... man ... wow!

But ... Preschool ... end of one chapter ... beginning of another ...
Bittersweet ...
Here are a few pictures of the event ...
LeAnna, Kate and Ally Grace



LeAnna and Priyanshi

A gift we gave the teachers ... each child's thumbprint created this "creative" year-round dish

LeAnna's "print" made a bunny
Paige, Kate, Ally Grace, LeAnna and Priyanshi

Ms. Karon and LeAnna


LeAnna and Ms. Henderson


Ally Grace and LeAnna

LeAnna's "pose"

Daddy and LeAnna

Mommy trying to steal a kiss from LeAnna who's tired of saying "Cheese"!

Sad to say "good-bye" ...

(wouldn't even turn around for one last picture)



Had dinner at the Loveless Cafe ... the "dog" was the only hole she was tall enough to pose in!
It was a nice afternoon and evening ... We even went by and picked up Kaitlyn ... today was her last day of school and they have had this "first night" planned for days I think ... first night meaning .... "the start of our summer break!" ... I'm sure they will find plenty to do!
Happy Thursday ... tammy

Cheers!

Good Evening ...

L O N G day ... Busy day ... but what's new, right?!

This morning ... I opened up the dryer and a $5 bill was laying there ! ha! I thought ... okay ... what if I close this door and reopen it?! kidding ... but it was nice to be "compensated" for doing laundry! I know who's pocket it came out of and I'm not giving it back! =)

Poor LeAnna is desperate for a friend! =O

She is SO used to having "playmates" at school ...

Feeling a bit sorry for her ...

Today ... I was working and she said ... "Mommy - ppplllleeeaaasssseeeee come sit by me and love on me" ...

So ... I got up and went over to her ... scooped her up and held her in my arms ... and she said ... "You always work ... work, work, work ... morning, noon and night ... work, work, work" ...

So I said ... "do you want Mommy to not work?" ... she said ... "No, you do your work good"

SO ... THEN ... I started feeling bad ... I don't want her to think that all I do is work (when that's pretty much what I do) ... but I still don't want her growing up thinking that's all I do ...

PLUS ... I don't want to miss opportunities to do things with her ...

SO ... I went downstairs ... and I made us a lunch ... sandwiches in fun shapes ... cut up oranges ... and had cheetos ... and diet coke ... and we sat and ate lunch together ... this was fun! We had a good time ...

THEN ... she found $3 .... and a Toys R Us gift card ... and she's been begging me for a couple of days now to go to Toys R Us ... (I gave her the $5 that I found in the dryer to put with it) - So, I took her there this afternoon ... and she bought a cheerleading outfit and pom-poms ... she's so into cheering right now ... Comcast has some "instructional" cheerleading that she's been watching ... so this made her day!


I was invited to attend an event this evening ... "learn to cook and eat organic food" ... it was very interesting ... and I ate and tried some things that I've never tried before ... I even shocked myself! My favorite was the Salmon ... uummmmm - wow - good! Went back for seconds on that!

A very interesting evening ...

I am very tired ... after my long day ...

Happy Tuesday ... tammy

21 Questions ...

Good Evening ...

Well ... first day of Summer Break ...

First, Nate woke me up to ask a question ... then ... Princess woke me up scratching at the door to go potty (TWICE) ... then ... LeAnna woke me up to say she wasn't sleepy anymore and she was hungry ... then ... the phone rang!

Yep ... just as I expected ... oh well ...

By 10:00am ... LeAnna was already bored and wanting someone to play with ...

I had to run an errand today ... and LeAnna started listing the following in the backseat ...

... Daddy has to work ...
... Mommy has to work ...
... Kaitlyn is sick ...
... Dawson is in school ...
... Judy is at work ...
... Nana don't feel good ...
... there is no one to play with ...
... Mommy won't take me to Toy's R Us ...

and on ... and on ... and on ...

Oh my ...

I said ... "Lucy! Listen to yourself ... you need to stop the negative talk and think about the positive" ... first of all - you're OUT OF SCHOOL!!!!

So she said ... "well ... okay"

She's so easy ... such a good girl ...

Here are a few questions I got to answer today ...

"Mommy ... back in the old days ... in Nana's time ... did they have toys?"
"Mommy ... were the old presidents on the money when Nana was a little girl?"
"Mommy ... what is a science project?"
"Mommy ... what does science mean?"
"Mommy ... can we go to Toys R Us?"
"Mommy ... can you touch the moon?"
"Mommy ... if you touch the sun will you get shocked?"


Aahhh .... yeah ... answered all those ... to the best of my ability ...

AND ... my Internet went out today ... which I FINALLY got back on this evening ... and I deleted my MSN Instant Message program ... AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Which I use for a means of communication with one of my jobs ...

And it's just M O N D A Y ! ! ! ! !


Okay ... so ... Tuesday will be better ... right?!?!??!!!!!!

We'll see ...

Blinkin' My True Blue Browns and Playing Folk Music On My Pink Guitar ...

Late night ...


I'm working on some work for a client ... and "while I was at it" ... started rummaging through some "old pictures" of LeAnna ...


Wow! Missing my "little baby girl!" ....


Nate was holding a little baby at church tonight ... and yikes ... made me want my LeAnna that small again!


So ... here's some cute/funny pictures of LeAnna ...




I LOVE her big brown eyes ... they remind me of a china doll's eyes ... to me ... they look as if they were painted on ... they look like pure chocolate ... love them! ... here she is peering into the camera while in her piglet costume ...




I have always loved blue eyes ... I used to "wish" my eyes were blue ... my daddy had pretty blue eyes ... my eyes are 1/2 brown, 1/2 green ... sometimes look more brown than green and vice versa and especially look more green when I cry or am extremely tired ... weird ... I'm just weird ... but ... I just absolutely love LeAnna's eyes! And I think it's because they are "true blue" brown! ha!

LeAnna has been "writing songs, playing them on her guitar and singing them to me"! ha! ... SO funny to listen to her little songs ... but some of them actually make sense! ha! Nate bugs me by saying "she's going to be a folk singer"! ha! oh well ... who knows, she might! =)

I'm growing "weary in well doing" ... I think I'm going to retire now ...

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TOMORROW .... FIRST DAY OUT OF SCHOOL AND WE GET TO SLEEP LATE!


I dare anyone to call me early! =)

My luck ... the phone will ring, the doorbell will ding, the alarm will "still be set" for "school awakenings" and the dog will have to go out to potty!!!!


OH well ... interesting to see how our "first" day of summer break will turn out!


Happy Evening ... tammy

Caught Up In A Whirlwind Of Emotion ...

Good Morning ...

Well ... yesterday was a whirlwind of emotion !!!!!

It was LeAnna's last day of preschool ... and yes ... I cried ... standing at the door ... trying to say good-bye ...

We had gifts for each teacher and we gave them ... watched them open them ... (they couldn't believe I didn't have my camera! - ha!) ... I had my hands full and knew we were having her "graduation" next Thursday ... so ... I decided not to take it ... anyhoo ...

As I was leaving ... and literally when I walked out the door to step outside ... it hit me ... this IS the last time I will walk through this door ... it was a weird feeling for me ... and invoked many other feelings as well ... I was thinking - this is the first of many doors I will walk through for the last time as we turn the pages and begin "new chapters" in "our" family book called LIFE!


Yep ... crazy ... I know ... but this is "me" and who I am and the way I think ... oh well ... it's crazy people like me that make the world go round - right?!


So ... THEN ... I sat down in my car ... and took out the letter that Ms. Henderson had written to LeAnna ... OH MY GOODNESS .... Rivers, let me tell you ... rivers of water flowed from my sockets! She mentioned at one point in the letter how blessed she was to be able to see LeAnna grow more confident in herself over the last year and a half ...


YIKES!!!! Remember me posting about how I would cry leaving the school ... because she would be crying wanting me?! Because she was afraid to go to sleep there?! Oh my .. It was an obstacle that we OVERCAME ... one of many I'm sure to overcome ...


And in the last 2 years she has (we have) been though a LOT! And I see as well, the changes, and development in her ...


Yes ... it was a bittersweet day ...


Then ... my birthday ...

Nate gave me this VERY cool outside clock, temperature, weather vane ... I had seen it and had been wanting it bad! He surprised me with it!


He also planned a nice "surprise" party for me at one of my favorite restaurants - Tequila's ... a Mexican restaurant that we frequent ... lots of people came and it was so nice


and the cake ... oh my ... fresh strawberry cake with cream cheese icing!!!
Yum-my!


Can you believe ... they put 37 candles on my cake ... individual candles! And lit them all ...a bit embarrassing ...


It was a good time though ...

And Renee took me out on Friday and we got manicures and pedicures and had lunch ... I even took off work! ha! Can you believe it?! That's rare! ... it was a very enjoyable birthday.


It's so easy to get caught up in running here and doing this and that ... that we don't make time to just be together ... not that we do it on purpose ... it just happens that way sometimes ...


It's SO very important to make "good memories" ... no one likes to "look back" and ponder the bad ones!


AND ... today ... 19 years ago today ... I graduated from High School! OH my ...


Which ALSO means ... Nate and I had a our very first date 19 years ago this evening! Wow! If you had of asked me on that night "what do you think you will be doing in 19 years?" ... I don't think I could have even fathomed it! It would have seemed like an eternity away!


At eighteen ... all you're thinking about is ... let's have a good time NOW - you can't even imagine the future!


A lot of "bridge under the water" since then! ha!


So ... like I said ... many emotions in the last couple of days ... wow!


Well ... happy day ... I must get busy ... tammy

Wrinkles, Wiggles and Laugh Lines ...

Good Evening ...

Yesterday morning ... LeAnna and I were getting ready for school ... we had just had our showers and was in the bathroom ... I was putting a robe around her and had walked off for a moment to start getting dressed ...

When she, "out of the blue" - with a VERY straight, innocent face ... SAID ...

"Mommy, why doesn't my booty shake like that when I walk across the room?"

Okay ... yes ... taken back at this moment ... so I said ...

"WHAT??!?!?!!?!???" (mouth hanging open)

She said ...

"You know ... it moves back and forth like this (while she's swiftly moving her hand back and forth)"

Okay ... no she didn't ... my mouth is still hanging to my feet ... and she can tell that she probably didn't say something right ...

So ... she says ...

"I mean ... you and Daddy don't have big booty's, you have little booty's ... I have a big booty ... see? (and she reaches her hand around and pinches up a hunk of her own while saying ... "see?")

Okay ... what in the world?!??!?!

Where does she come up with this stuff ....

Oh my ...

Definitely deserved a phone call to Nate ... who LAUGHED his silly head off!!!

Oh well ...

Moments ... gotta love 'em! ... the good ones and the bad ones!

ha!


So ... definitely enough said about all that!

Tomorrow is LeAnna's last day of school - preschool ... it's the real deal starting this fall!

Tomorrow is also my birthday ... yep ... getting old ... so old that I actually have applied something to my face to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines ... it's comparable to having Botox without injecting harmful toxins into your body ... this is a "safe", organic way ... thanks to Shaklee ... I took some before pics ... then I'm going to take some more in 28 days (my test study on myself) ... supposedly I should notice a 66% difference in 28 days ... I'll let you know!

funny how this arrived today ... when I turned 25 I got my first gray hair ... and it's just gotten worse since then ... ha! REALLY starting to notice myself aging! Not a fun process ... even though it's inevitable ... better than the alternative! =)

oh well ...

Happy evening ... tammy

Summer Memories ...

Good Evening ...

Well ... this is LeAnna's last week of preschool ... last day is Friday ...

Then ... she's out for the whole summer! No summer "preschool" for her this year!

Yea! She is SO excited!!! I have to admit, I'm pretty excited about it myself ... that means I don't "have to" get up and get dressed at the crack of dawn every morning now! At least for the summer!

AND ... PLUS ... I think I have a deal worked out with Nate when LeAnna starts to school this fall ... he is "saying" he will take her to school every morning and I will pick her up in the afternoon!

Yea baby! Liking this idea ... Let's PRAY it holds up!

LeAnna is already planning what we're going to do this summer ...

She is wanting to play minature golf ... go to the library ... play outside ... and the list goes on and on ...

She's excited! And what's funny ... is that she hasn't learned to "truly" appreciate her summer's yet!

I remember anticipating the last day of school each year ... totally remembering that feeling I got inside that there was no more homework, no more getting up early ... no more going to bed early ... totally focused on playing outside, riding my bike, reading a book, getting sunburned, ... also recall that anticipation of meeting my girlfriends outside first thing each morning to plan our day ... whose house we would play at ... where we would eat lunch ... whose mom was fixing the kool-aid ... you know ... all the "worries of summer"!

Ahhh ... and the summer nights!!! LOVED them!!!! Catching lightening bugs in a jar ... wiping a few on my shirt so I would glow in the dark ... laying on my trampoline, studying the stars, listening to crickets ... and then at the end of a long day, taking a bath and then having to clean the ring out of the tub from all the dirt I had collected that day!

Yep ... the joys of summer when you're a kid! Nothing like it!

So ... yeah ... envying LeAnna just a bit ... knowing she has all these fun things ahead of her to look forward to ... making up her own creative ways to have a good time ... all the while knowing it will pass just as fast for her as it did for me!

There is supposed to be an "end of the year picnic" tomorrow at the park ... if it doesn't rain! If it rains ... it's a regular school day ...

So - we'll see what happens in the morning!

Happy Tuesday ... tammy

Mother's Day 2007


Good Evening ...

It's Mother's Day ...

Emotional day for me ... as always ...

My little girl is growing up ... too fast

I've always been told ... "they grow up too fast" ...

Well ... it's true! They do!

I'm trying so hard to enjoy each stage in her life ...

Wishing for "more" time at each stage ...

It seems like yesterday was last Sunday ... almost as if "someone" hit fast forward and we're speeding through life! ... watch ... tomorrow will be next Sunday! ha!

Crazy ...

This morning ... I started fixing LeAnna's hair ... and the outfit she wore (new "bargain" I found on clearance) appeared a "bit older" looking on her once she got it on ... so once I took the rollers out of her hair and started to fix it ... I stuck a clip in it ... and ... well ... left it ... without a bow ... for once ... like one of the "first" once instances ... ever ...

Okay ... LeAnna without a hairbow ... is like Pizza without cheese! It just goes together ...

THEN ... tonight ... we went to Cracker Barrel after church ... and her and a couple of friends were sitting at "their own" table ...

She got up and came over to Nathan and I ... and said ... with menu in hand ... "I want to place my own order" ... I asked her what she would be having ... she said ... "I'll just tell the waitress" ...

So when the waitress asked us for her order ... we told her that LeAnna wanted to tell her herself ... So she walked over to their table ... all the while, LeAnna is sitting in her chair with her legs crossed one over the other like a lady would sit ... So, when the waitress asked her what she wanted ... she looked down at her menu as if she were reading ... and then told her "Mac N-Cheese" ...

ha!

OH well ...

Sad though ... because it only proves one thing ...

She's growing up!

Where did my baby go? You know ... the one I cried myself to sleep for, so many nights!!!! Because "everyone else had babies but me"!

She went and grew up on me! Right before my very eyes!

Argh!

So ... to my "several" pregnant friends right now ... PLEASE know ... that what everyone is telling you is "the for real truth" ... they DO grow up WAY too fast ...

So ... enjoy EVERY moment ... Never take for granted your opportunities to make a memory and by all means ... Have FUN!!!!
Here's My Card from LeAnna ...


Can you tell Daddy helped pick it out?! =)


With all that being said ... guess what's looming around the corner?

M O N D A Y ! ! ! ! ! !

Ha! Let's all pray and hope for the best! =)

Happy Sunday Mother's Day 2007 .... tammy

Mommy's Muffin ...




Good Afternoon ...

Wow! Busy, busy this week ...

Today we had "Muffins With Mom" at school ...

All the kids had made special things for their Moms and presented it to them at a special breakfast this morning.

"I cried" ... imagine that! =)

Yep ... couldn't help it ...

ANYTHING to do with LeAnna makes me emotional ... but "Mother's Day"? especially!

I waited for SO long to celebrate this holiday ...

I don't share these things in a "braggadocios" way ... by no means ...

But in a "I don't take my moments for granted" kind of way ...

When you wait for something for SO long ... and then it finally happens ...

You learn very easy not to take "for granted" certain things, more than others.
Here are a few things she made me ... her blooming hands ...
And this is a picture she drew of me! So funny ... my famous "black skirt" ... ha! It has been called my "uniform"! (black makes you look thinner right?!)
And then this is what she made with "The Clay Lady" a couple of weeks ago ... how sweet is that?! Nathan's comments were - "that's interesting" ...
But you know what?! It could be a pile of dirt and I would be pleased as punch - if she gave it to me!

Just enjoying my "moments" ...

I hope you are taking time to "smell the roses" in your life ... because time SO quickly flies and I don't want to miss a thing!

Happy Friday ... tammy

"Strummin' My Six-String" ...



LeAnna is STILL loving her guitar ...

I took these yesterday before church ...

She HAD to take it to church ... and wouldn't hardly let it leave her side the whole day ...

So funny!

This morning she BEGGED to take it to school ...

oh well ... bless her heart!


It's MONDAY! Gotta love 'em!

It's actually sort of nice to have a Monday ... it requires you to get back into a routine ...

So ...

I have LOTS of "routine-ing" to do today! =)

Happy Monday, tammy

My Pink Guitar ...

Good Evening ...

It's been a busy last few days ... in which I have found it hard to blog.

We had family come in from Florida on Thursday ...

Celebrated "Aunt Judy's" birthday on Thursday ...

Worked, worked, and then worked some more on Friday ...

Had a client today ... did a little shopping ... dinner with friends this evening ...

Yep ... busy, busy ...

Daddy bought LeAnna a little pink guitar today ... she LOVES it ... she's been playing it all evening ... Isn't it amazing how you can sing ANY song and the music sound the same on each one?! ha!

She loves it so much, she fell asleep with it tonight!


I have a LOT to do before going to bed this evening ... getting ready for a "mother's day project" at church tomorrow ...

Happy Saturday Evening ... tammy

Good Evening ...

Yesterday (Tuesday) ... LeAnna had testing at her new school that she will be attending Kindergarten at ...

She was SO excited!

BUT ... got disappointed real quick when she found out that the actual "tour" of her new school wouldn't happen until sometime this summer.

Bless her heart ... she was SO bummed! She could barely eat her lunch due to her excitement ... I felt so sorry for her ...

When we got there they took her immediately - without even giving me an opportunity to tell her what was going on ... I mean as soon as we walked in, the two Kindergarten teachers walked out and introduced themselves and then said "Hi LeAnna, come with us" and away they went!

A little "sudden" for me ... but she seemed fine!

When she came out ... she was so excited to tell us that she had read two words for them ... we've been working on reading at home ... so this was really cool!

Not to discredit her or anything, but I will admit that I asked her if there were pictures above the words! ha! She said no ...

I was proud ...

She "couldn't remember" anything else they asked her because she was so sad that she didn't get to see anything else! (like the lunchroom and the playground!) ha!

oh well ... "the real world" for the next 13 years!

AAHHHAAHHAAH ... am I ready for this?!

First day of school ... don't even want to think about it at this moment! We'll save that for sometime in August!


Okay ... so ... if anyone is interested ... you can check out my website for my Get Clean products I've been talking about ... you can actually place an order right from my website ... and if you have any questions I'll be more than happy to answer them.



Happy Wednesday ... tammy
