Back to "normal"...

or I should say...as normal as it gets around here! LOL... ;) It was nice just falling back into the swing of things yesterday. Thanks for the nice words and for reading the kids' stories about the funeral. I thought you'd all get a kick out of it! :)

School
Christian had school yesterday and was so excited to see his friends that he missed on Tuesday. Their school was cancelled then because of how cold it was here. His teacher called our house on Monday night and left a message saying there was no school...Christian WILL NOT let me erase it!! LOL. We have listened to it no less than 30 times already and he is so darn excited that his teacher called our house. So cute!

I also had a little meeting with the 2 other moms that are in charge of the Valentine's party with me next Tuesday. Let me just say nicely that...it sucked. I'm used to being in charge of the things I volunteer for and it SO was not that way here! Not that I need to be in control...I would just like to have had some input. These 2 girls both go to church there (I don't), so they already know each other and are friends. I guess they pretty much had it all figured out before I got there, because I had NO input. At all. Nada...zip...zilch! *rolling eyes* I'm used to being a part of the group and being well liked and this really just rubbed me the wrong way. KWIM? I was excited to be a part of Christian's school party, but now...not so much. I'm just a little follower doing what I was told. THEN...the one girl typed up a paper on what we were doing and got my friggin' name wrong!!! Yeah...NICE....huh?!?!? I was "Melanie" in 2 spots and then "Karen" in another spot. Great...just great... *rolling my eyes yet again* Oh well...when you get lemons, make lemonade! I'll just use all my ideas I had with my own kids at home!!!

Oh...the one thing I AM in charge of is doing 1 Valentine's day game. Any ideas?

Big Plans for Tonight
Big plans for tonight...we have tickets to go to the Monster Truck show!!! We bought them months ago and there's a few of us going. My parents, my sister, Jarrett's dad, brother, & sister, me, Jarrett, & Christian. Jarrett's dad may not make it due to other family/funeral stuff, but the rest of us are excited! I've never been to one before, but I CAN NOT wait to see Christian's face! He is seriously going to flip out. I'll be sure to post some pics afterwards!

Logo/Amazing Race LOs
So, here's a logo I think I decided on. What do you think? I wanted something simple, yet pretty...did I achieve that? Any CC? I have my hardhat on...let it rip! :)

And here are my last 2 Amazing Race LOs. We had to give our younger selves advice in one and scraplift our partner in the other. My partner was Laurie Garza and I just couldn't love her more! She is a fantastic person and a wonderful scrapper. We got to know each other better and I am hoping that someday we get to meet each other in person so that I can give her the HUGE hug she deserves!!! :) She's always got sweet words of support and friendship and I can't even begin to tell you how great she is. Thanks again for being my teammate, girl!! {{HUGS}}
