There's a lot I wanted to comment on, so here goes...
AI -- My DVR was full and didn't record AI on Tuesday! So, I just watched the results. How the heck did Gina go home?? I LIKED her! I like Haley too, but I know she's not going to win. I was really hoping Phil would go home, Lyzzie calls him the scary alien dude. Very sad to see Gina go.
Moms -- Ugh! Need I say more? Mine drove me nuts while at WDW because she doesn't really like rides, but it was nice to have a built-in babysitter.
Also we did a lot of splitting up to do separate activities and then meeting up again later. It does get to be a little too much "together time" though. This upcoming trip w/Lyzzie will be my first with just us, without anyone else joining us and "taking over" MY vacation. Aaaaaaah.
Weather: On Monday the kids were outside in their swimsuits splashing around in a tub of water. Said tub was frozen today.
Easter -- Lyzzie is off of school today & tomorrow - not for Easter but for teacher in-service days. Odd timing. We have no specific Easter plans except church, we are going to try a new one near my house. They also have an egg hunt on Saturday we are aiming to try out, since we missed the city's egg hunt that we go to every year. They didn't advertise it in the city newsletter and by the time I looked it up, it was over.
Work --
I didn't even bother to watch last night. I knew it was not going to be Sanjaya so I don't care anymore.
I'm sorry your having problems with your mom. Can I ask what is making her nervous? My mom would do something to purposely annoy me, that is why we never go with them on vacation. Good luck, I hope she goes and enjoys herself. It is cold her too! Something like 29 degrees. 
Work -- Lesa, it sounds like your DH works at my company! Training, what's that?
Just figure it out, but don't screw up!! My 6-month review is supposed to be towards the end of May, I'm not really looking forward to it. Supposedly there is "opportunity for a pay increase" but I'm not holding my breath.
I went to Lyzzie's parent/teacher conference last night - her teacher actually said "she is a model student!" There wasn't much else to talk about. I mentioned that we will be out of town next month for a few days, and she said Lyzzie is so lucky to go to WDW twice in one school year, and that she has never been. So we talked about WDW for a few minutes, she thought you had to pay for each park separately and didn't know there were water parks! I stressed how educational WDW can be and how Lyzzie's favorite part is the countries in Epcot, and how she likes to learn how to write or say her name in all the languages. Teacher was quite impressed. I would not be surprised if she gives Lyzzie some sort of "vacation assignment" since she obviously won't need to catch up on missed work -- she's light years ahead of what they are learning right now.
Since there's no school today my mom is at my house w/the girls and she is in a cleaning frenzy! I went home for lunch and opened the mail, I received a new credit card and of course Mom saw it and started in with the "financial responsibility" lecture. Thanks, but I learned my lesson in my college days when I dug myself so far into the hole I had to declare bankruptcy at 23!
She refuses to believe that I have a $0 balance. Moms, ya gotta love 'em. (Because you can't shoot 'em.)

I think they're trying to nest in our front porch lights now.
Maddie went with her Brownie troop to Red Robin and then to Libby Lu to have a make over, and Brittany stayed home. I can't wait to see what "look" Maddie chose.
My van still has 4 months left on it, but only 3000 miles until I go over miles, but without the vans GPS I can't get anywhere around here.
I wonder if they will let us trade the van in early.
Maddie has been asking for her ears pierced and they do something special there so I may have to take her back to get them done.
