Well I guess every 2 weeks is about all I can muster

for writing in here. Alot has happened the past 2 weeks.

Sean turned 13 and we made his day with a Red Sox

windbreaker pullover we found while away for the

weekend in Old Forge. He was absolutely gaga over it.

He takes after his dear old mom doesn't matter how

much crap we get for being fans we are loud and proud.

Ian had his final hurrah last Tuesday for his track

senior night. He had his senior banquet and class

blast Friday night and won a 13inch color t.v. in a

raffle drawing and he won a Babe Ruth Watch. His

brother was so totally jealous of the watch and Ian

had fun torturing him for a few days before making

him smile by giving it to him. Graduation is the 29th

and I am not ready at all for it. Ian says he doesn't

want a party that he will just go to everybody elses

but we at least have to have the family and close

friends that have been a part of his life all along over

for some type of party.

My baby turns 12 tomorrow. We did her cake and

took her out for chinese, her favorite food, tonight

because tomorrow is back to school and sports and other

activities. She will get to have her sleep over for her bday

this next weekend. I am seriously thinking of taking up

drinking again for a little while just so I can get through

the sleep over of 6 12 year olds. I guess this is the point

where they get older and we don't.

My brother was in town to visit and it was so nice to

see him. It has been about 3 years since last he was

home. I cooked a vegan meal for him for dinner and

it was actually good. I will probably make it again.

He has finally figured out a diet that makes him feel

better and he looks great. Who knows with the way

I have been feeling lately maybe I will try the vegan

thing.

Today was my 18th wedding anniversary. It is amazing

that it has been 18 years. My sweetie gave me a new

headlamp flash light because the kids had broken my

other one and said because you light up my life I got

you this for our anniversary. He can be so sweet.

My anniversary present to myself was a horseback ride.

It was heavenly. I then worked all the other Horses on the

long line except the older girl and they all were very good for

me. I think they knew it was my anniversary so they gave

me a present the only way they knew how.

I realized I didn't mention Sara at all. She is gearing up for

her summer mode of being off and about all summer. I am not

going to survive I think. She is down at the park with a friend

learning the guitar and I have to go pick her up. This is after being

gone most the day at the "gully" with her sister and some friends.

Here is to more of this great warm weather and energy to do the

things I want to do this summer.

Crazy Life/Busy Life

I saw a sign in one of the shops we stopped
into on our weekend away that said,
"Teenagers are Gods punishment for enjoying
sex". It is my favorite saying now I want to
make a plaque but am not sure where it
would be appropriate to hang.




Ian and his date from the Junior Prom
a few weeks ago, he was
a dapper dude even without the tux this time.


This is Megan and her friend Alana all
dressed up for the semi formal last night.
The drama a month before getting the
right dress and shoe and she isn't even
12 yet (few more weeks whaaaa).


And of course the curly blond one. All the girls
are after him with the curly hair and the blue
eye I am so not ready for him to be in High
School next year.

Between dances and track meets and concerts
we have been hopping. The graduation stuff will
start kicking in in the next week or so so its good
that Dave and I got away for the weekend last
weekend. We got a gift certificate from someone
at Dave's work for a place up in Old Forge. I had
never been there and it was nice to just get away
for a few days the two of us only. Gram ma stayed
with the kids so we didn't have to worry about things
getting burned or broken and we left Friday and came
back Monday. We didn't do much because the weather
wasn't the greatest and most of the activities were not
open yet for the year but we ate good food, played putt
putt golf, and checked out all the nice shops in the
town. We didn't want to come home.

Its Mothers day today and my youngest continued
with the tradition she usually does with her sister of
making me breakfast in bed. She makes a mean French
toast. I am now ready to figure out what else I want
to do today well fed as I am. Happy Mothers Day to
all those Mothers out there.
