Happy Happy Wednesday

Yummy (bigger than venti) coffee!! This is the way to start your day with a bang. Well, @ least by the time you reach the bottom of this, lol.


It's a happy happy wednesday.....2 more days til the party weekend!

And while I am extremely happy and excited to be able to spend 4 days with the fam and the girlies, today also marks the beginning of two days full of STRESS!!

But, it's always like this so I'm used to it. And, it makes the final moment when we all get together with a nice frosty beverage in hand, that much sweeter.


I'm not gonna bore you with my to do list. But, here it is in a nutshell.......

Laundry, pack, shop, clean, work, practice, shop, pack, stress.


2 days and counting,

BigJoe

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present...........


Big Joe




I am so in need of a Big Joe moment right about now. Filled to the top with reserves waiting on the side.



This is the exact face I make when that deliciously sinful liquid hits my mouth.
(Whoa, that was bordering on the rated R side of things)

Work is crazy today, the people are crazy today, and I'm about to slap all these fools. Did I mention receiving a phone call that ALL parents dread?
SCHOOL VOICEMAIL: MS _____, THIS IS MR _____, FROM YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL. WE ARE CALLING IN REGARDS TO THEIR ABSENCE TODAY. COULD YOU PLEASE RETURN OUR CALL @ 888-8888.
ME (MS ____), THINKING IN MY HEAD: WTF? HE'S IN SCHOOL. I DROPPED HIM OFF THIS MORNING!!
ME (MS ____): DIALING 888-8888............BUSY SIGNAL
ME (MS ____): WTF??!! DIALING 888-8888...........BUSY SIGNAL
ME (MS ____): OH HELL NO!! WTFMF??!! DIALING 888-8888.........
SCHOOL: HELLO MS ____, WE WERE CALLING.......
ME (MS ____), CUTTING OFF THE POOR FOOL THAT ANSWERED THE PHONE: MY SON IS IN SCHOOL TODAY! I DROPPED HIM OFF MYSELF! WHAT'S GOING ON??
SCHOOL: OH, UM, OH......DID YOU DROP HIM OFF LATE?
ME (MS ____): NNNNNOOOOOO!!!
SCHOOL: OH, UM, OK. LET ME CALL YOU BACK.
ME (MS ____): YEAH, OK.
**WAITING FOR 2 MINUTES CURSING AND GROWING RED IN THE FACE AND SWEATING**
SCHOOL, CALLING BACK: OH, I'M SORRY MS ___, YOU'RE RIGHT. HE'S IN SCHOOL. FOR SOME REASON HE WAS MARKED ABSENT. WE'RE SORRY.
ME (MS ___): BREATHING VERY HEAVILY TO TRY AND CALM MYSELF. AND BREATHING AGAIN. AND AGAIN.
ME (MS ____): OKAY. THANK YOU. GOODBYE.

What else do you say? Thanks for giving me a heart attack for no reason? Thanks for making me dial 911 on the other line? Geez.
But, @ least he IS there, where he should be, safe.

Now can I please have some wine?!!

*Sneak Peek*

Before I start the peep show, I would first like to say "thank you". Thank you to everyone that has listened to me whine non-stop about my home remodel project (that I totally initiated of my own free will) and how long it's taking, and how hard it is, and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.


Okay, enough of that. Get your peepers ready for a quick flash of wood............ :)


Of course I was talking about cabinets. What were you thinking?

(Haha, I just crack myself up sometimes)


So we finally got our cabinets in and I freaking love them!! It totally changes everything. Well, that's the motto of our whole remodel plan.

We still have a lot to do, but this is a huge step!!

I'll do a more detailed post soon, but I really wanted to share this super exciting news with you all!!


Loving wood,

Splash!

SEAWORLD!!



Here we are standing in line to buy fish to feed the dolphins.


Awesome!


Keau opted for the starfish.


Sharks, fishes, turtles, and more in the aquariam.



They have separate aquariams for sharks, turtles, & penguins.



And just like Vegas, they have awesome shows!! The sea lion show was our fave.


And again.......lots of walking, lots of sweating, and lots of fun!!




Adding to the memories,

We're back!!

We are back from our amazing trip. The kids had a wonderful time and we all came back EXHAUSTED!!


Our first stop was San Diego. We flew all night and arrived in San Diego @ 10 am, sleepy eyed, cranky, impatient, and tired.

So what did we do??? Head straight for San Diego Zoo, lol!


That's the niece.


Isn't she the cutest?! The boys love her!! Even if she is a bossy, demanding DIVA!! (Must run in the blood, heehee)


The boys loved all the animals.

Giraffes!!

And the park is huuuuge! Serious calorie burner!

But, they keep everyone happy.............kids and adults.......they serve BEER!

And let me tell you, it was hot! Nothing like an ice cold brew on a scorching hott day!



Did I mention the boys loooooove her??!! And spoil the crap out of her?

Me too!!
She does the cutest little model pout when you put lipgloss on her. Sigh, a child after my own heart! Damn you sister of mine!



We spent the whole day @ the Zoo, and then collapsed when we reached our room.


Caught a few hours of zzzzzzzz's, and up @ the crack of dawn.

Next stop......SeaWorld,
