Dilema!

Well, it's Monday morning, school is out next week and I have a million and one things to do.  Last minute school projects, laundry, doctors appointments, finding a talent for Luke (he has a talent show this week!), finishing my planting, blog Lucy's four month pictures before she turns five months old... But it is cold and rainy and I taped four and a half hours of Lost last night.  So the question is do I check things off my to do list or do I toss the kids snacks, let them do whatever, snuggle my baby and watch the finale of Lost (one of my favorite shows ever!)??  Such a dilema!

*Edit added about 2:30 pm.
I solved my dilema!  I decided to fold massive amounts of laundry and spend "quality time" with Lucy so that I could justify watching 4 hours of Lost in the middle of the day!!  It was great but as always left me slightly confused.  Did anyone else cry?  Glad I took a lazy day-bummed that Lost is all done!

Any DWTS fans out there?

Dancing With the Stars tonight...

Evan is awesome. 

Not sure why the judges seem to get on him so much. 

He was better than Erin tonight but they scored the same.

And did I hear her complain that she's too tall and skinny?

Cheryl's hiney in that first dress? 

I don't need to see your cheeks like that!

Nicole is ridiculous. 

And Derek's choreography is unbelievable! 

That 50's paso?  Sooo good!

And aren't horizontal stripes supposed to make you look bigger?

Then how come they made Brooke Burke look even tinier?

"The Phase"

Eli was standing next to me, looking at my hair and said "Mom, you're starting to get gray hair!"  (jokes on you kiddo, I've been getting gray hair for 8 years!  hooray for hair color!) And then he said "It looks like you are going through The Phase."  I asked what the phase was.  Is it possible he had heard about menopause?  And excuse me but I'm way too young for that!  He told me, "The Phase means you are turning into an old person like grandparents and your mom and dad"  Ouch for me.  Ouch for my mom and dad.  Leave it to Eli to be polite while being brutally honest. 

Brent's Birthday

Brent just had his 37th birthday!  Yowza!  We were just talking about how we still feel like the majority of people we know or see on TV are older than us.  Then we find out they aren't even close to our age, but quite a few years younger.  Ouch.  I guess the mirror doesn't lie...oh well, atleast we feel young, right?  

Brent had a great day that the kids and I planned because we think he is awesome!!

*Breakfast with friends (was supposed to be golf, but the weather didn't get the memo about my birthday plans)
*Lunch with the kids (they surprised him by signing out of school early to take him to lunch.  Which he payed for.  Surprise!)
*A massage (he's never had one before and is now looking at the budget to see how he can afford one every month)
*Opened presents from boys (golf balls, a movie gift card and Diet Coke in every form it comes in.  Cans, 2 liter, small bottle...
*Dinner and cake with friends

Hope you had a great day babe! 

We love you!
