My Blog List

I have been seriously neglecting my blog lately. I do have a very valid explanation however; My beloved pooch Seamus lifted his leg and peed on my laptop. Apparently dog urine completely shuts down a computer system. WHO KNEW?? We have two other computers, one has a virus and the other has a bad keyboard. As long as you don't need a space bar an e or a t, it works fine. It kind of reminds me of the old days when I started my washing machine with pliers and the bottom part of my dishwasher was held up with some well placed Lego's. Good Times, Good Times.


Lauren's best friend is getting married this month. They started the bachelorette party at our house with drinks and appetizers. The party bus picked them up and drove them around bar hopping all night. They ended up back at our house at 2:00 AM. I woke up to my bedroom door ratelling. Dave got up and used the bathroom, while he was gone, the bride to be climbed in bed with me. Dave came out of the bathroom to 10 drunk 21-24 year old girls sitting or standing around our bed. I'm sure somewhere deep down it could have been some sick fantasy of his, but I'm sure whatever vision he may have had would not have included his wife and or daughter. He stood over by his closet with a look on his face that said, please help me, get these drunk girls out of our room. Luckily they all settled in to beds upstairs shortly after that and we were able to get some sleep.


Erin's soccer team won the high school state championship this weekend. It was without a doubt the best game we have ever watched. They were tied 1 to 1 after regulation. They had two 15 minute overtimes and went to penalty kicks. Lucky for us the good guys came out on top. Erin is still not able to play because of her surgery. It was hard for her to sit on the bench and watch but she was a trooper. Her head is healing nicely, she has one spot that is a little questionable but we are watching it closely and keeping our fingers crossed that it will be OK. She goes back to the doctor at the end of June.


My kids are already bored this summer. I'm afraid that Shannon's body imprint will be permanently embedded in my recliner. Maggie is the only one that ever answers the phone when I call home to see what everyone is doing. She usually responds with "Nothing." Dave was off work today, he slept until after noon. Do I really have another lazy teenager in the house. I gave him one task; to get to the bank by 2:00 to make a deposit. He was finally up and showered by 1:30 plenty of time to get to the bank. I might kill him in our golden retirement years, hasn't he realized yet that when I give him a task that I want it done in a timely fashion, not as close to the deadline as possible. He is soooo lucky that he is cute!!

I couldn't agree with you more that IWA's final soccer game to become State Champions was so exciting! It was one of the few games I was on pins and needles it was such a nail biter with both teams battling away until the last moment. We definately felt like we got our monies worth out of that match. What an amazing comeback year for the girls and such an exciting way to finish the year.
