NO PICS....AGAIN

Hey Everybody! Here we are, the second month of 2010 is almost gone and I am still not in the groove yet. As usual, my life is a little crazy right now. My dear friend Katie is having her birthday tomorrow - HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE! It looks like for the first time in 5 birthdays, I will have to miss her party. Why? Dance, of course! I am feeling a little overwhelmed with dance this year - more so than usual. My Petites aren't ready, their costumes aren't finished, the shoe order hasn't arrived, and what is even more scary is that I have an almost-teenage daughter and her set of life issues to deal with at the same time. I can't even begin to put into words my emotions right now. I have to admit though, Gary has been great and is taking everything in stride. He even surprised me on our anniversary. He took me to the Gaylord Texan for a wonderful weekend. He even took me shopping and didn't complain once. I think he must have been medicated. HeHeHe!! I would share the pictures with you but we aren't in any of them. I only took pictures of the hotel. It is beautiful!

Valentine's Day at my house was a little different this year. There were no flowers, gifts or stuffed animals. Instead, we had a family dinner complete with my favorite - HAM - and all the fixins. That would be a southern word for all you northern folks. Fixins - who thought of that? Anyway, I like that word and it is the only word I know to describe the wonderful things we ate with our ham! My mom and grandmother got the girls their favorite thing ever - STARBUCKS gift cards. I can't believe that my 7-year old finds it necessary to be addicted to that stuff. You should hear her order her drink. I can't even say it without messing it up. No wonder kids nowadays are spoiled. When you can walk up to a counter and order a drink precisely the way you want it, that will spoil you for sure. Do you get that she is only 7? When I was that age, I was lucky to get a coke much less something that costs nearly $4 for a small (oops, I mean tall) drink. That is CA-RAZY!

Well, I could go on and on and on about the things happening in my life and the lives of my family but today I will refrain. Not everybody in my family knows all the goings-on and I don't need him knowing, so for now I will just sign off!

Love Ya,
Jenn
