Zip It

My mouth that is.

As most of you know or have realized, I talk a lot. I have lots to say (whether you want to listen to it or not) and I'm very straight forward. I try really hard to think before I speak, but sometimes that doesn't always happen.

I have a tone. You know that tone. Sometimes I don't even know I have it until someone takes offense. Puh-leeze! Some people are wound too tight for their own good and can't just let it be. Some people should get a back bone and say something to my face if it bothers them.....obviously I say it like it is, so they should be able to return the favor. Most times, I'm not mad or upset, but just simply stating a fact or an observation. Other times, I am a little peeved, and yes, you will know it. I have no problem telling you if I'm irritated. If I'm really mad, you'll definitely get the picture - or Stella will tell you, but hopefully it doesn't reach that point.

Either way, I'm sorry to anyone I've offended by just being me and saying things that always come out of my mouth! I'll try to work on that!

Low Key Holiday

We tried....not the best photo, but we got one!

This was after we let Little Hauss sleep until 7ish (at the pool until at least 4) with the hopes of him staying up for the fireworks and not being a total grump. We ate, watched a movie to pass the time before the festivities and then WOKE up to the booms! Yep, we all fell asleep on the couch! BEFORE 9pm! I apparently was so gone that I didn't hear the fireworks, and Hubby was waking me up dragging Little Hauss out to the porch to make sure they didn't miss anything. I caught up a few minutes later and we got to see a great show. Usually they are around 10, but it started to drizzle, so we guess the wanted to go ahead and do them before the weather wouldn't allow it!

All in all it was a great day of time spent with friends and family. Hope you all had a great holiday!

Happy 4th of July

This was one year ago! We had no idea this was one of the perks of buying the house, even if it is only once a year!

This is the view I'll have around 10pm tonight from my front porch with a cocktail in hand and my two favorite boys beside me!

Now, off to breakfast with friends, lounging by the pool, some good ol' american food, and finishing off with some fireworks!

I hope you all have a great Independence Day!

Last night of freedom...

I pick up Little Hauss tomorrow! I'm going out with a bang too - a porch happy hour with the girls after work!

We've thoroughly enjoyed our week together and had so much fun. I appreciate the quality time that Hubby and I have had and vow to make more time for it when Little Hauss returns. It is such a blessing to be able to spend all this uninterrupted time with my best friend! We have date nights and late evening chats, but it isn't the same as days!

We are so excited to see our little man and hear about all the wonderful fun things he did with his Gigi and Pop! I'm sure he'll talk about it for weeks! We've chatted with him briefly on the phone but he's been more interested in playing with whatever cool toy or game Gigi had for him than telling us about his day! It is just nice to hear his sweet voice!

I highly reccommend a break from your child to reconnect with your spouse if you have the time and the help! It's great for you and them to spend some time apart every once in a while - plus he's gonna have to get used to it when we are in MEXICO for our cruise!

Perfect Fit?

With Little Hauss in GA, we aren't getting to experience his fabulous funny stories and sayings everyday, but Gigi and Pop are!

Yesterday mom said she was in the shower when Little Hauss walked in the bathroom to go use the toilet (separated from rest of the bath area) and when he came out, he told her he tried on her booby holder!!!!!!!!! She said she about slipped and fell she laughed so hard! Let's hope he doesn't ever find my booby holder or we might not be able to find him!!!!

On the Bright Side

With all the sadness from the death of icons this week, I thought I would lift my spirits with an outing!

I got a mani/pedi with the MIL this morning! I think I will go shopping at the craft stores to see what inspiration I can gather for some new projects this week and then finish off the afternoon with a nap!

I have to be well rested because we are headed to the concert tonight! JR, I promise to take lots of pictures and get you a t-shirt! =)

Now, back to listening to my old Jackson 5 and the best of MJ!

Angel Pop Farewell

An Angel and the King of Pop all in one day.

Almost too much for this hokiegirl to handle.

Sigh.
