1. T-Ball is officially over. The last game was on Saturday and trophies were handed out last night. All in all it was a good experience. Had I not made a trip to the snack bar on Saturday I would not have be put in charge of ALL of T-Ball next year. Yikes!
2. I am obsessed with Facebook.
3. Actually I am obsessed with Scramble on Facebook. It is basically Boggle on Facebook, but I am amazed at how stupid I am when it comes to the English language. Halfway through every game I start making up words.
4. Grace decided on a Fancy Nancy birthday party yesterday. Now the only problem is that I'm not sure her friends know who Fancy Nancy is.
5. Mike and I leave for Catalina in 34 hours. I can't wait to be sitting on a beach.
6. I finished The Other Boleyn Girl. I highly recommend the book. Even though it is almost 700 pages, it goes quick.
7. I don't recommend seeing the movie if you read the book. Then again the movies are never as good as the books.
8. Grace is already on the count down to when she starts kindergarten. She wants me to tell her how many days, but I told her we won't start counting days until July.
9. Speaking of kindergarten...I have begun to freak out a bit. Already I feel like Grace comes home from school with more of an attitude than I dropped her off with. I finally talked with the teacher yesterday because I wanted to be able to blame it on one of the other girls. Come to find out this is what five year-old girls are like. The teacher told me to brace myself because it only gets more challenging from here...and then she recommend a fantastic book call Shepherding a Child's Heart by Ted Tripp.
10. While I really hope to be reading People or InStyle this weekend something tells me I may be reading a parenting book on the side.

Plumbing
Usually I hold off on blogging until I have a fascinating picture to share or a cute little mommy moment that I think others might enjoy. HA! When I think back on the pictures I have taken lately - the inside of our downstairs bathroom toilet to send to my stepdad so he could tell me how to fix it - somehow that just does not cut it as blog worthy.
Why is it that all the household stuff seems to go to pot - no pun intended - as soon as the hubby leaves town? Then again even if the hubby was sitting in the next room right now, I still think I would have had to send the picture to my stepdad.

10 on Tuesday
1. I really have the blahs today. I can't quite put my finger on it. I really have no reason. I really want to drive to the beach, but I think I will make dinner instead.
2. We are getting out house painted...on Mercury Insurance's dime. Woo-hoo! I have been dying to change the color since we moved here and thanks to the fires it is happening.
3. We had a drawing at Stroller Strides yesterday in which our vendor of the month, Civil Disobedience, donated a free pair of jeans. Our instructor asked Grace to pull the winning name and...SHE PICKED ME!
4. I went to get a new pair of jeans today! :)
5. Tomorrow is MOPS. No matter how much I think I don't want to go, I always leave adoring my girls and wanting to eat them up. Clearly MOPS is money well spent.
6. I think I saw a girl I went to high school with on Dr. Phil yesterday. It was kind of funny and sad at the same time. The funny thing was that I wasn't surprised to see her on Dr. Phil and the sad thing is that after 17 years she wasn't that different.
7. I started reading The Other Boleyn Girl...finally. I was worried that I was really going to hate it since I don't do historical fiction. Turns out it is very engaging. Now we'll see if I can get through all 700 pages. I've never read a book that long before.
8. On Friday night I had a hard time falling asleep so I decided I would start reading Mistaken Identity...OK..so I read the whole thing. I love when I am able to sit down and read a book from start to finish.
9. Not so shameless plug...this is an AMAZING book. I highly recommend it. It is about the two girls from Taylor University who were in a fatal car crash and had their identities switched for five weeks unbeknown st to their families.
10. After reading Mistaken Identity I held my girls a lot tighter on Saturday so clearly that we money well spent also.
