New T.V.!

Well, we finally did it! We bought a flat screen! I still can't believe I'm looking at it... I had to work today and when I got off I met Dave, Hannah, Hayleigh, my mom, and Norman at Jordan's BBQ for lunch.They came up this morning for Hannah's game. Afterwards we came home and I packed Hayleigh's bags and she went home with Nana and Norman for a few days.. I miss her already.......BooHoo.... Anyways, when they left we went on to Target and got our T.V. and DVD player... Dale and Shanna came over to help Dave hook it up right and also they took our old entertainment center to Shanna's mom's house.. It took alot longer than we thought it would with some DISH issues. We got finished with that and went to eat at Buffet City in Benton. Now we're back at home and getting baths and getting ready for bed!!!!

Work Tomorrow? Yuck!!

Well, I should be excited that today is Friday, but to those of us unlucky few, that doesn't matter.. Yep, you guessed it... I have to work in the morning, and boy after the week I've had I do NOT want to be at work again...... Hannah has a make-up game at 11am and pictures, so I'll miss all of that.. I just hope Daddy doesn't mess her hair up to much!!! My mom is coming in to town to watch the game and is taking Hayleigh back home with her so she can spend a few days with NaNa and PaPaw.. She can't wait to go... That's all we've talked about since we've been home tonight! We had a church banquet to attend tonight and haven't been home long. It was really nice. They fed us lasagna and salad. They had an appreciation ceremony for those that volunteer for the church alot and Dave got recognized.. I was so proud of him. Boy did he turn beet red on the way up to the front!! It was too funny!!!! Anyways, I'm going to bed now since I don't get to have any fun tomorrow!!!!!! Goodnight

Is Winter Over Yet?

Is winter over yet? I don't know if I can take much more!!! The clinic is soooo busy.. And everyday seems to be a bad day this week!!! Still aren't seeing alot of Flu yet, but I know it's coming, and when is does it will come with a vengeance. After work we went to Best Buy and Target looking around... The cat needed litter and food.. We also went to Shoe Carnival while we were over there because Hannah needed a new pair of boots... We are now home after we went to Mickey D's for supper(We have got to stop eating out!) and now the girls are playing with all of their new toys thanks to Shanna!! Thank you so much for those!! They are sitting in their room in the middle of all those Polly Pockets and Ponies playing together nicely!!! No screaming can be heard!!! Miracles do happen... A special thanks to Caitlyn too. She decided she was to big to play with toys anymore, so that's why the girls got them!!!!!!!!!! Well, it's almost bed time, and that's the most exciting part of my day so far!!! Goodnight!

What a long day!

Today was way too long... Work was crazy busy.... And then afterwards Dave, me, and the girls went to get our taxes done.. We had to wait about 30 min before we could even be seen.... Then the girls were hungry so we went next door to Moe's and had us some nachos... By then the girls GOOD had already worn off!!!!! We got home in time to have a quick (cold)shower because for some reason the hot water wasn't HOT enough tonight!!! Now we are getting ready for bed, and boy am I glad.....I can't take much more!!

Bundle Up!

Today was really cold but no ice for us.. We're waiting for tonight to see if we will get anything on the ground. The temp is dropping as we speak and it's still raining so we will see. Work was busy today even with the yucky weather. Hannah had Hayleigh both had good days. Hannah had fun being student of the day at school.... Her game was cancelled tonight, so we'll play a make up game on Saturday and get our pics done then.. No big plans for tomorrow other than work and school.... I dressed the girls up this morning before they left for school.. Hayleigh reminded me of the little boy on the movie A Christmas Story dressed up in the bunny outfit!! They looked so cute!! Here's some pics I took of them......

Okay, so they're calling for more ice and this time it could get real yucky out there. So has everyone gone and got their milk and bread? I swear anytime that the weather man says the word ICE, Arkansas goes into a state of panic.. I went to Wal-Mart at lunch time and I don't think anyone was at work today!! It was crazy busy there.... The lines were out in the aisles. There was hardly any bread or milk left and it was only noon. I'm praying for the people who actually waited until tonight to go and get groceries!! Boy are they gonna be in a mess!! Dave ran to Target real fast to get a Wii points card so we can download some more games to play. We're having chili tonight.. Perfect night for that!! The girls are playing in their room right now and being quiet (probably need to check on them)! haha.... Hannah got picked at school to be the student of the day and gets to read the lunch menu to the whole school over the intercom ... She's so excited to do that!! I hope school is still open tomorrow so she can..... We shall see, huh????

Just a Lazy Day

Today was just a lazy day for us. Dave and Hannah went to church this morning and me and Hayleigh stayed home in our pajamas.. We laid the girls down for naps after lunch (Burger King), and then Aunt JoJo came over and hung out with us for a little while.The girls were excited to see her and Uncle Jesse and showed out the whole time they were here... Hannah got her room clean today which is a feat in itself. I've got the day off tomorrow and plan on doing some more cleaning while the girls are gone to school... It's been a great weekend all and all.. Can't complain.....Oh, and Miss Arkansas didn't win!!! Too bad....

Miss America Tonight!!! Go Miss Arkansas!!

Today has been a great day! Hannah cheered at her game this morning and MiMi and PaPaw came to watch her. We went to eat at Jordan's BBQ with them afterwards and then me and MiMi went to Wal-mart and she bought the girls valentine's cards for their classes..Thanks MiMI!! Anyways, dad just ran back to Wal-Mart for a couple of things and me and the girls are playing Mario Brothers on the Wii. I'm so excited! Miss America Pageant is tonight at 8pm on TLC!!! I love watching pageants!! Go Miss Arkansas!! Good Luck tonight!!

And There Off!!!!!

Today we went to the horse races at Oaklawn in Hot Springs.. It was so much fun.. We didn't win much money, but my horse did win in the 2nd race and I got a whole 8 dollars!!! Talk about luck! We had a lot of fun with our friends and enjoyed the atmosphere of the place.. I can tell I'm getting older though, because I was ready to go about half way into it!!!! I think Dale and Shanna had a good time too!! I was really glad they got to go, and can't wait to go with them again sometime!! The girls had a good day too... Hannah was happy that she got to stay at TLC a little longer than usual this afternoon... I'm getting ready for bed because I'm wore out and the girls are watching a movie in their room...... Hannah has a game tomorrow and MiMi and PaPaw are coming up to watch it and I'm sure we'll have lunch with them before they go home.. Just another busy weekend around the Work house......

Double Checking your Child's Homework

Dear Mrs Jones,I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer - as you suggest. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the big blizzard hit. I told her we sold out of every single shovel we had, but that I had found one in the back. The customers were fighting over who should get it. Her picture does not show me dancing around a pole! It's supposed to depict me selling the last shovel we had at Home Depot! From now on I will check her homework more closely!Sincerely,Mrs Smith

This e-mail was sent to me by a friend and it's the most hilarious thing I've read in along time!!! The things our kids do!!! Isn't this the truth???? Too Funny!!

We're Off to the Races!!

Today's my Friday again!!! Yeahhhhh!!! Tomorrow we're going to Hot Springs to the horse races.. We go every year with David's Company Treadway Electric. I love it. We always have a good time with friends and betting on the horses. I bet on my horses by how much I love their names. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.. Dale and Shanna are going with us too!! It will be Shanna's first time to go and I'll make sure she gets to eat a famous corn beef sandwich. They have the best there... Also, I'm hoping to win lots and lots of money!!!!! Yeah right! Anyways, the girls had a good day.. Hannah had a game to cheer at tonight so Dave brought the girls up to the clinic after he picked them up from school. Hayleigh told me her ear was hurting and kept pointing to the same one, so just in case we had Mrs. Nancy check it out.. She was just fine!! We were running a little behind so Dave went ahead and took Hannah to her game at 5:30 and when me and Hayleigh got done we met them up there at the church. Went to get Burger King for supper and now we've had baths and are getting ready for bed.......

What a Day!!!!

Boy, what a day! Work was horrible! Just a lot of sick kids today....I'm glad it's over! I'm wore out... The girls had good days today... We had supper and decided to go get Sonic Sundaes! Now we're watching American Idol and getting ready for baths and bed!! Is it Friday yet???? Hope tomorrow is better!!!! Good night all!!

A Historical Day

Today was a historical day for America. Barack Obama became the first African-American President in this nation's history... I hope that he will straighten this country out.. He will have his hands full.... I know that we will back him 100% now that he will be running this country. I hope that he will do what he promised and get us out of this rut that we are in... The girls had a good day today. Nana came up today to spend some time with us, and the girls were so excited to see her. We met daddy and the girls at Jordan's BBQ to have supper, and now we are watching American Idol!! yeahhhh!!!

Standing Tall

In honor of Martin Luther King

Some kings rule their kingdoms sitting down Surrounded by luxury, soft cushions and fans But this King stood strong stood proud stood tall
When the driver told Rosa "Move to the back of the bus!"When the waiter told students "We don't serve your kind! "When the Mayor told voters "Your vote don't count!"And when the sheriff told marchers "Get off our streets!"using fire hoses, police dogs and cattle prods to move them along This King stood strong stood proud stood tall Speaking of peace of love and children hand in hand free at last free at last
When some yelled for violence For angry revenge An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth He stood his ground Preaching peace
And when some spit out hate He stood there smiling Spreading love Until it rolled like the sea across the land Sweeping away Jim Crow Breaking down the walls Ringing the bell Joyfully For Freedom
Until Standing on the mountain top They shot him Coldly Hoping to see him fall Hoping to put him away To bring him low
But this King even in death even today stands strong stands proud stands tall And we remember
by Jamie McKenzie

Martin Luther King's Birthday

Today Hannah was out of school for the holiday. She got to go to TLC and play for the day. Hayleigh was happy for her sister to go to her school.... Good day at work.. Nothing much exciting to report... David had to go to church visitation tonight, so I'm just sitting here with the girls watching The Lion King, waiting for him to come home... We ate McDonald's per Hannah's request... Boy was she happy.....Well,tomorrow is another day.....

In other words, leave him alone today!!!HaHa... We got up and had peanut butter pancakes for breakfast. Got dressed and went to Church service.Came home and had corn dogs and Mac-and-cheese for an all-American lunch....Girls went down for a nap, and me and dad have just kinda layed around and watched T.V., well he has watched T.V..... Gonna go to Wal-Mart here in a few hours and then worry about what's for supper... Hannah is out of school tomorrow for Martin Luther King's Birthday, so she will get to spend the day at The Learning Center..

P.S. The Arizona Cardinals just won their championship!! So one more game to go and then we'll know whose in the Super Bowl.....

Y-E-L-L! Everybody's Here So Everybody Yell!

Hannah had a game today at 11am. They were really cute today with their pom-poms! It's always so fun to watch them cheer out there! My heart swells with pride... I asked Hayleigh if she wanted to cheer or play basketball and she wants to dribble the ball, as she put it!!! I'm not surprised she'd rather do that!!!!! Haven't done much else today except clean up around the house some... No big plans... Will probably watch a little T.V. and worry about what's for supper! Here's some pics of today's game.

Princess Taylor?

The girls love their cat Taylor! Poor Taylor, though! He is the best cat. He takes everything in stride.. He let's the girls do just about anything to him and only scratches them when they might hurt him!! Do you blame him? Here are a few pics of the girls goofing off with Taylor tonight. Hannah had a princess crown that came with a toy from Christmas and it just fit perfect on poor Taylor's head!! Pretty cute though...

Feeling Good Friday!

Today I was off and I got to spend the whole day at home without any children or husband... Now I love my family very much, don't get me wrong, but man it was nice just to be able to get some stuff done without any distractions... I even took a little nap. So nice! The girls had a good day today.. Hannah has a game to cheer at tomorrow at 11am. So I'm sure that will be the highlight of our day.. I don't think we have any more plans for the day. Just another quiet weekend around the Work household...

Happy Birthday Nana!

I get a long weekend this week!!! Today is my Friday!! Don't you wish you were that lucky! I had a good day at work today.. The girls both had good days at school... Nothing big to report today.. Dave had to go to a meeting tonight and won't be back until late . He had to go to the Imax Theater in Little Rock... Hope he's having fun! Nana's birthday is today! She turned 70! She was as excited about her birthday as I was mine! HaHa! Anyways, hope you had a wonderful day Nana! Also, Norman came home from the hospital today and is doing much better. Gotta go, girls are getting restless and it's bath time.. I bought them a new DVD player today because I think Hayleigh has been up to her old self and stuck something in the old one
They've been real good tonight watching all of their movies that they got for Christmas....

Her are a few pics of Hayleigh goofing off in my suitcase. She is such a clown! But she's my clown! I don't know why I buy her toys, because she would rather play with stuff like this.... She keeps us laughing around this house!! She is certainly my showman...... I love that little girl!!! What a mess!!!!!!!!!

Hump Day!!

I'm so glad it's hump day!! Only a few more days until the weekend... For the past few days everytime we walk in the house we get hit with this horrible smell!! It's like milk rotting or something.. Me and Dave have had our noses in everything trying to figure it out!!!! I hope nothing has gotten in the house and died!!! That would be so gross.. We had Hannah's room tore up tonight thinking that's the source to the problem, like a dirty pull-up stuck somewhere or an old sippy cup, but can't come up with anything! It's driving me crazy! Anyways, I hope we find it soon, so I can get some rest!!!!!!


After work we met David's mom (MiMi) and some of her friends at Cracker Barrel for supper. It was fun seeing everyone and visiting.. The girls love spending time with their MiMi... They were upset that we had to leave her at the restaurant... Now it's time for showers and bed. Me and Dave are engulfed in another night of, you guest it, American Idol!! We're so easily pleased these days!!!!!! Goodnight!
