Boy I have been a tad busy. Ever since my husband went back to work..it has been work for me. It seems every day I have had several doctors appointments or appointments for the kids. I tried to schedule them when he is home but he is only going to be home this weekend because they have a schedule change at work. Yesterday I had to come home and deal with cleaning the new puppys kennel. Yep he is kennel pooper. He got bathed twice. Yes it is a lot of work for me right now. I talked to my husband about selling him. He said fine. I think we both forgot how much a puppy takes out of a regular person in a day. So we will see how this weekend goes since a long one. My younger A is in a singing competetion at school against five other kids in her age group. Its like an American Idols. They win $500 if they win. Well we went to practice yesterday with all the kids and they all were so nervous. There were two people there that were voice coaches and when my daughter sang her song they told her she can sing but she needs to not be so scared. It true. At eight years old she has got a big voice. She sang a song by The Cheetah Girl.." We can do anything". She has always had a big strong voice since she was about 3 years old. Everyone used to tell us to get her to a singing coach but we never did. Well I think she can do it if she works the stage fright thing out by March 4th. They have a competition for 9 thru 12 grade too. OMG there were three girls there who should have been on American Idol. I mean in the finals. Anyhow I felt like Simon Crowl there. They had some that just had no business there and they were in the finals. Cross your fingers. I am doing so much better. Funny thing ... for some reason I have not had much of an appetite since I had my surgery. I got on the scale yesterday and lost another 5 lbs. I thought my jeans were very loose. I am stoked.
