Tracy: Wow, busy day! No wonder you've been heading straight to bed and that was your day "off"!
Lauren: Woohoo Dog! Does he dress like he does on the TV show all the time? Awesome success on the garage sale!!
Lindsay: Welcome back! Yay for getting to see pretty snow but not having it affect your drive for too long!
Jackie: Wow, that does sound like a lot for her age! Maybe they're figuring on not everyone showing up at every practice so doing multiple? Hope you have a nice relaxing week.
My open house was a flop, we had three people show up.....three. I did have a three other people order, but still. Highly disappointing my friends can't take a few minutes out of their day to come support me. All they had to do was show up and could get away with buying a $1 citrus peeler from pampered chef, not like I was expecting them to spend big bucks.
Day seventeen of fever for Elim with no signs of an end. Ten days till his ENT appointment.
We head out in the morning for Illinois! Going to my Grandma's house one last time before it's sold and visiting the Grandparents' graves too. Also gonna check out the zoo if it's nice and a few other things.....gotta drive for that one cuz there's nothing in Grandma's town!

Actually the Evansville, Indiana zoo......never been there and I imagine it's kinda small. Also maybe going to go to New Harmony, not sure what's there either. Awesome, I guess when you'd get recognized everywhere you gotta always dress the part. Though he probably always dressed like that before. Did I tell you his nurse said it was from teething? Yep.....after two weeks of fevers from ear infection it's magically turned to teething after antibiotic shots. Somehow, I doubt that.

Lauren - Brian went to Norway for work. Sounds like he had a good time. He ate at fancy restaurants all week, and I was running around so much the only meal I didn't pick up at Subway or McDonalds was the chicken nuggets I threw in the oven one night! pathetic... absolutely pathetic. I'm not a great cook, and I hate doing it (love baking though) so I'm pretty sure if he hadn't made it back we all would starve to death!
Another busy week here, not quite as bad as last week, but I have to go into the Ann Arbor office 3 or 4 days, which is a 40 hour drive. An hour and a half of commute time definitely cuts into my errand time!

Jackie~ Glad Brian is back home to help out with some of the running!! Seriously, just now getting a chance to sit down for today and not even started on the house or the paper I have due tomorrow.....  Stacy~ Teething?? Oh good grief! Today started out with the dog getting a haircut and bath, then vaccuumed the house since there is tons of dust floating around these days.....Appts this afternoon and hopefully somewhere in the daylight hours, there'll be time for a walk. THEN---I have to type up a paper. Thankfully, I already have the interview part done.

Jackie: That's really neat! Glad hubby is home safely. Yay, t-ball. Yeah, three practices is a lot. I know, the kids had never seen snow before, so it was fun for them. You don't expect to hit snow driving home from sunny San Diego.
Tracy: Hope you get your paper typed w/out too many distractions. What is this degree/certification you're working on again? I would so come and help you if I lived closer. I kind of like to clean. Ha, I could be the "French Maid!"
Liz: How's your Monday going?

Howdy all!! I'm back safely from NOLA, although I think it's going to take a month to recover. There was not much sleep, and too much of everything else, but oh boy, how fun!!
Stacy - Safe travels to you guys. Teething? Seriously? And boo on people not showing up to your open house.
Lauren - lol on the Dog the Bounty Hunter. I can just picture it.
Lindsay - two ships that passed. Bummed I wasn't here in SD while you guys were, but I'll be out your way in a couple of weeks visiting my parents. They were calling the storm we had over the weekend the "storm of the century".
Jackie - CRAZINESS!! Glad Brian is home safely, but whew. Rough one for you.
Tracy - Happy paper-writing! Sounds like you took lessons from me for your weekend. BUSY!
Sorry...I've forgotten everything else. Where's Lorena?
In full dragon-birthday-party-prep mode. Little man turns 8 this coming Sunday. I think I'm kinda going a little overboard with this party, but I can't seem to help myself.

Donna~ Glad you had a great time on your vacation!! I felt like you were "close" to me while you were there....only 3 states away instead of all of them!!!  Lauren~ I forgot to shout out to you about the yard sale!! Lindsay~ Any time you want another vacation....come on over and clean girl!!! You'd laugh at me if you ever saw this place. It's mostly clutter anyway....not dirty. I'm just too lazy to put stuff away, and don't necessarily make Ansley do it either. The degree that I'm currently working on is my Specialist Degree in Teacher Leadership. I'll be done in December and will definately be CELEBRATING!!!!  Papers are typed for tomorrow and I have one more due by Thursday. Hopefully that one won't be too challenging.....we'll see. Those seem to be the ones that catch me every time! Anyone heard from Katie lately??? I was wondering how her tan is looking......

So who watched American Chopper tonight? What a beautiful bike to benefit babies! If anyone wants tickets for the raffle email me, I can sell them to you - finally a benefit to being from Michigan! LOL
And any tickets I sell get credited to my MFB team. Plus, if you win, I'll come to your place for a ride... I can't win it, but nobody said I can't ride it!

Ahhhhh....house is getting cleaned today. Love this day, although the day before is totally stressful getting all the clutter picked up.

Donna: I know you probably do the drive often, so yeah, it was crazy weather in S.D. I guess on Saturday, people couldn't get through unless they had chains! We didn't have 'em and left Sunday and just hoped all would be okay. At least my kiddos got to see real snow:)
It sounds like you had a good time in NOLA and are catching up on some shut eye.
Jackie: Darn, I missed it:( That's awesome though. I wondered if and when they'd do a bike for babies.
Liz: Seems like a lot of gals are having unseasonably strange/hot weather in their neck of the woods too. Crazy!
Shannon: Wow, 80 degrees? That should be the temp here in Phx. I was expecting more rain, but it didn't happen. I should probably turn my watering system back on.
Tracy: There's so much to do and see in Atlanta, I just might have to:)
Stacy: Glad that you made it safely there.
Jumpstart program this morning, FTC meeting tonight, school fundraiser tonight (Chik Fil-A - not really a fan), Jumpstart Thursday, two parent/teacher conferences on Thursday . . . why didn't I pick up any alcohol at the grocery store yesterday? Got to go back . . . Cheaper to medicate the parents:)

Lorena- Great pictures, looks like a really fun time. I can't believe how big Miss V is already! We're due end of July... it's flying by! Shannon- I'm with you. Every time I hear about crazy weather I think of the poor polar bears on a small ice flo somewhere... poor guys don't have a chance! Donna- Ooooh enjoy a clean house for the few hours it lasts! Trip sounds faaaaabulous. Jackie- Aw come on, Michigan's got a lot going for it.... you guys have the whole hand thing... and you have Redamax.. my fav burger joint. Stacy- Enjoy your trip! Hope Elim is feeling better. That's all the noggin' could hold... hit the beach this mornin' with the goobie... he's nappin' and I think after a quick shower I'm gonna do the same!

wow lots to catch up on ...hope everyone is well. Donna glad you loved your trip. Now back to reality...the worse part of vacation Jackie that sounds like an awesome trip. Would love to goto Norway....did he love it? Can you believe we still havent closed on this house yet? Its beyond annoying...every day they are calling us with the dumbest questions and asking for irrelavant paperwork.
Today they promise one more thing and its it....but its to get more signatures from the owner....so thats another week since shes a little slow to the draw

Never heard of Redamax, I'll have to google it. Jess - See how out of it I am? I didn't know you bought a house! Congrats! Lorena - Can you tell V to stop growing up?!? She looks so big! Stacy - Hope your trip is going well!

Jackie - Mitten state...lol
Lauren - Yay beach! Did you get your nap?
Headed to a boot camp class this morning. Why oh why?
Oh, found a new crock pot recipe: buffalo hot wing chicken sliders. Seriously yum, especially if you like a little kick.

Ooooh that sounds good. Love me some spicy. A place by our house has a buffalo chicken pizza... it's sooo ummy. Jessica- Are they on Oahu? I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled for 'em! Though since I won't be climbing any mountains (literal ones anyway) soon... probably not gonna run into them. Unless they power shop like I do when I'm there. Donna- No nap. Bummer. Maybe next year. Jackie- Yeah... I mean seriously, I have no idea how we compete. We're like um... I dunno.. lil' birth mark shapes or something... Redamax is down in New Buffalo I think... deeeelish. Only open summers. Stacy- Safe travels! Phew... back from the aquarium... gonna try to get some work done while the goobie sleeps...

Okay then Lauren - this one's easy...
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce (I used Franks)
2/3 cup of water
blue cheese dressing
dinner rolls (or regular buns)
Put the breasts in the crockpot. Mix the 1/4 cup wing sauce and 2/3 cup of water and add that. Low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours. Shred up the chicken. Put it on the buns and top with more sauce and the dressing. Super duper yum.
So jealous...love that aquarium!!!

That does sound yummy! I might have to try that. I've never thought to make anything buffalo chicken myself.
We have yearly passes to the aquarium... it's our... there's nothing else to do and it's kinda crummy (read below 80 or windy) out go to place.

not sure Lauren....dont think they said...it was incredibly beautiful wherever they were. There was like nothing around them but green mountains...unreal how beautiful.
I dont know Donna...think I am the only one in the world who stinks at crock pot cooking. I could whip up a huge dinner in the oven but give me a crockpot recipe and I totally flop....you know I cant NOT lift the lid....its like telling a kid not to touch something....my curiosity always gets the best of me.
I was thinkng of you the other day...did you see the picture of the girl on pinterest who put a months worth of crockpot recipes together and froze them? TOtally up your ally. She got gallon size freezer zip locks and put all the incregients, veggies and meats all together in one bag...froze it and when ready just popped it in the pot....awesome time saver.
