this-is-gonna-be-a-hurry-thru-work-hurry-back-to-town-to-pick-up-katie-hurry-to-the-dentist-try-to-remember-her-retainer kind of day....

sometimes I wonder if these are the days that keep me alive, or the days that shove my foot a little deeper down in the grave....

changed the sheets today!

honest! this is a pretty rare thing.....because stripping and remaking the bed just seems insurmountable most days....Katie voted for Italian nite, so spaghetti and garlic bread it is. her sunburn is still bad...as a veteran of many sunburns, I can quite literally feel her pain. Koren posted adorable pics of her and Ian making cookies, which made me think of our tiny kitchen at Eagleville, and sitting her up on top of the dishwasher and making from scratch cookies. doesn't seem all that long ago....

we be patio furniture buying fools....

1/2 day of hustle to get done at work to go to my umpteenth CPR class....then had an interesting conversation with an older employee who was talking to me like I was HER age (....and here I thought I did such a good job dying my hair.....)....Katie took an approved SAE day to help the boys work cows. I came home, drug all my flowers to the patio and arranged them along with the birdhouses, glittery rocks, the deer with the broken antler....then we went to Chillicothe to buy patio furniture.... I love what we got. LOVE! it is now in boxes in the garage awaiting assembly....we then went to Wal-Mart where I made this facebook post........at Wal-mart checkout behind a coupon queen...would be more fun if she was Mama June.... we ate at McDonalds, got the kids takeout McDonalds on way home.

Koren sent text pics of Ian trying out his sippy cup!

what did I get accomplished this weekend?

dyed my hair, cooked some food, watched a lot of tv, took naps....couldn't find the aloe vera when Miss Kate came home with a sunburn...

KJ told me facebook was trending, that Matthew McConaughey and Brad Pitt discovered they were French Quarter neighbors and Brad tossed a beer from his balconey to Matthew's balconey.....if this would've taken place when I was in New Orleans, you couldn't have drug me back home. Drew Breese was in on it, too.....just waiting to see if Johnny Depp moves in next! The French Quarter is indeed a magical, magical place....

tried to make a photo book of our NOLA vacation....but nothing but troubles....didn't like the auto loads, didn't like the way I put it together, it cost too much....and I somehow made a bunch of copies of the pics I wanted to load....just gave up. seriously.

the pic of Daisy from the Green Hills Animal Shelter site....with the note adopted Jan 8 2011

found a pet site on facebook, you order meds from them, they donate proceeds to shelter of your choice....so I chose green hills and it just went from there....

definitely my best high school memories!

In Joe Hills book Horns he and his girlfriend reunite after death in their Treehouse of the Mind. I like to think a certain dead-end dirt road will be where Kevin & I spend eternity together.....just 'cause.

...and so it begins.... the littlest Dailey is receiving college mail....

slept in.....felt rather ill....Kevin went to get a tire fixed and order new tires....KJ took a friend to the MBMO Career Fair....I threw up and then tried to watch tv. ended up going back to bed till about 12:30p.m....lounged around, made some lunch. I must've looked rough, Kevin inquired as to my health. now he is at work...KJ is going to the movies with friends....and I was trying to transform a bowling ball, pennies, and glue into a magnificent garden viewing ball....damn Pinterst! so now back to the couch to watch Survivor Bigfoot...maybe I'll glue more pennies....maybe I'll do the long over-due dye job on my hair....will definitely spend time in front of the boob tube....

Koren texted pics of Ian's new hat!
