Gretchen 
I thought you had a new recipe "Tory's heartworm' I thought yuck, poor kids!!
I would have clarified a bit better but my computer was zoning in and out and I was afraid I would lose my whole post so I sent it without really being finished. Our office server sits under my desk with my cpu and it shares my monitor. So every so often when the server is doing some sort of maintenance, my monitor goes nuts.
The joys of my IT people.
Sheryl ~ How did last night go?
Did you put him down at all? I already know the answer to that one - I wouldn't have either. Don't they just smell wonderful and those little soft heads. Oh man we need another baby in our family!!
I'm just that bad myself. The young man who works for my mother and his wife are expecting their first baby, a girl, in October. Neither have parents living nearby so I hope that means I get to babysit lots and lots. I've already put dibs in on the first babysitting.
Jacob came home from school yesterday with a cute Mother's day present. I'll have to post a picture of it. It's a layer of bath salts in a large sundae glass, with a bath pouf on top of it. It looks like an ice cream soda. So cute! He was so pleased with himself that he just couldn't wait until Sunday to give it to me! Darling boy!!! He knows how I like my bath!!!
That sounds precious! And what a sweet boy not to be able to wait. I remember being so excited that I couldn't keep those sort of secrets either. I'm so glad you had a good Mother's Day and that Alan was able to make it back to help make your day so special. And congrats on the new baby in your family.
We have reservations for a five course dinner (including champagne
) for Sunday evening, BUT Kyle informed me they may have practice. Im so sad about that.
I'm so glad Kyle was able to make dinner last night. I hope it was wonderful!
Mother's Day Dinner

Princess- Thankyou for asking about the strike. Yesterday about 1500 Teamsters and Engineers converged on the meeting site. They did vote to strike and Buddy was teasing that we would live on spaghetti. Within 3 hours we got the call that there was an agreement and they can work on Monday. Believe it or not, the main sticking point was with one company that engaged in some very unsafe practices which resulted in a major accident. They are mad at everyone and refused to sign. Buddy said for once it was not the rank and file who everyone was peeved with...it was in the management house. I am glad it is settled, our little group of neighborhood dinner buddies all work together so it would not have been fun. Buddy is a company man for 40 years in the address and felt terrible. His boss and wife were so worried that this would affect us but that would never happen.
That's wonderful news Nancy. I'm so glad it all worked out this well. For Buddy and for all the other workers. And for your sanity.
Dinner last night was grilled chicken, mashed sweet potatoes and corn. I made pudding for dessert. I had Welby's girls so she and Brian could go to dinner. Nola is on fire lately. Welby said that she had to take something away from her and when Nola asked for it back she asked her if she was going to behave with it. After a little thought Nola said "Probably not"
Now for an important question.............Why has no one told me how good a Malibu Bay Breeze is???????????????? Holy Smokes!
What a scream!!
Happy Mothers Day to all.
Sorry havent been around much I have a lot going on here. Just pray I have a job by me after all the dust settles. Buget cuts and new superintendent cant say much more right now sorry.
Lauri, I hope that things work out with your job. I'll be praying for you.
Kat, glad Kyle is home and you are packing. I dont think I mentioned but you will be meeting all of my sisters in October. They all decided to go to F&W! < That is Jane, Patty and Nancy dancing and the banana is me!
How fun! I hope we overlap some too! I'd love to meet some of your family.
Lauri, I hope everything works out OK with your job.
WFD: the local asparagus is in! So, a big plate of asparagus. Mine will be topped with a poached egg and parmesean shavings, and John's with butter poached lobster.
That sounds amazing! I love asparagus but no one eats it in my house but me. It's so expensive that I can't justify the expense just for me. So I'll dream longingly about your dinner.
And speaking of my van, someone got into it and stole my gym bag.
Friday morning I went to get in it and noticed that the cup holder was closed, the rubber mat in the cubby below that was pulled out, a bottle of water was laying on the floor and dirty tissues that were in another cup holder were all over the floor too. And it's my own fault, I forgot to lock it the night before.
I didn't realize the bag was gone until last night when I went to check it to make sure it was ready for the gym today. It was in the way back seat before and I never thought to check on it when I realized someone has been in there. They also got in to my DM's unlocked car and stole two 24 ounce 6-packs of Pepsi.
That stinks! We had someone break into Kenny's truck one Friday night in our driveway. My car was locked and they didn't break into it, but Kenny's wasn't and he lost his GPS (the 2nd one he has had stolen). It is so aggravating.
I'm so sorry.
I had a busy weekend. Saturday mid-day we went to see Mary, the lady who took care of Hailey when she was younger. We had a nice visit with her and Saturday evening I made dinner for Kenny's mother. I was supposed to cook lunch for my mother yesterday but her business got busy and I ended up cooking dinner instead.
Kenny got me a gift certificate for a massage, which I love but will never spend the money on for myself. Amanda, bless her heart, handed me a floral nail file and said she bought it herself. She then went on to tell me that she got her mother the same thing and that they were $3.50 each.
I didn't have the heart to tell her why you shouldn't tell someone that, but I have to remember to teach her that before her next gift giving moment arrives.
Tonight is going to be take out. Kenny and I are having a business meeting tonight at 7:00 and hopefully this will be a good one.
your way!
" Brian had given her a little yellow tulip to celebrate how much she takes care of her little baby doll.
I jumped back in at page 50. 
with my girl so I think dinner will be leftovers!
I mean, who would do that?!?
