what's my deal?

random, random stuff......

~i don't know why i haven't been blogging lately. really, i don't. i've thought of things i want to blog and then i just don't take the time. part of it is our S-L-O-W wifi at the house. it's so much faster to blog at barnes & noble. but let's face it. as much as i'd like to go there every day and just relax, i really do have a life. really, i do.

~i've got tons of pictures that i would LOVE to share with all 5 of my readers. but it takes too long to upload them to blogger, so alas, no pictures. but when i get to b & n.....watch out! their internet works so much faster. it's great.

~i can't believe that summer is almost over. mary peyton starts pre-primer 3 weeks from today. it seems like i was just worried about her starting k3. and that year FLEW. i dread the next 14 years.....especially if they all go by that fast. if time could just stand still, i would appreciate it!

~mary peyton has loved going to JA this summer. some of the high school kids work in the afternoon with after-school kids, so mpb has made some "big" friends. a few graduated this year and mary peyton lovingly refers to them as the "singers" (instead of seniors).

~mary peyton informed us this afternoon that she broke up with jude because he wouldn't play with her. jude is the son of our good friends, brad and chasity. he is going into the 1st grade. but all kids who have finished k3, pre-primer, and primer play together on the playground in the summer. so mpb is with the older kids, too. she informed us about a week or two ago that she was marrying jude. chasity and i decided that the wedding would be awesome!

~mpb informed me a few weeks ago (my facebook friends know this...) that she wants to go to new york. here was our conversation:

mpb: "mommy, i want to go to new 'ork"

mama: "what?"

mpb: "i WANT to go to new 'ork!"

mama: "baby, why do you want to go to new york?"

mpb: "'cause, mommy! i've never been THERE before!"

so i guess we've deprived her for 4 years of her life, huh? she proceeded to ask tommy this past sunday if the 2 of us could go. he said yes. she came to me beaming saying, "mommy! daddy said that me and you can go to new 'ork!"

i just asked if he was going to pay....

~we went out of town 2 weeks ago for a few days. we went to lake tuscaloosa, alabama and had an incredible time. lazy weather with no set plans. i loved it!

~we are going to the beach soon for 8 nights or so. can we all let out a big ~SIGH~. please pray that a hurricane does not come through and ruin this trip for us. we need a break so bad!!! shana, jeff, and the boys are going to go down with us for a few days, so that will be fun. the last time we went to the beach together was pre-kids. what a difference 7 years makes!

~i guess i'll stop at this. there are many other things that i'm sure i need to update everyone on, but i'm having writer's block! i'll do a better job - promise.
