Frustrating Friday and Fabulous Friday!

Ever have one of those days when you make a cup of coffee, then lose the cup in your house? I have these days too often, usually when I'm walking around with my mug urging Blake to get off the floor and get dressed. Why he decides to roll around on the floor when the bus will be here any minute, is beyond my comprehension! I've searched everywhere for that cup of coffee. I retraced my steps and still cannot find it. This is so darn frustrating because it was just my second cup. I know I'm obsessed with my coffee, but its better than crack, right?

Frustration took over and I have a new mug with fresh coffee. I suppose I will find that "lost" mug somewhere around the house, unless someone moved it to play around with me. Probably my mom's poltergeist! She probably sent him/she/it over to drive me crazy, not that she doesn't think I am already crazy. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I'm just saying. Head over to Gaston Studio's blog and ask her about the "lost" rain jacket or her favorite shoes. Uh huh! I'm just saying what's true.

I'm over my frustration now and thinking about how fabulous Fridays are. End of the school week. End of the work week. Our family is together for the weekend. And it's two days before Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to everyone and here's hoping you'll take a little time for YOU.

Thankful Thursday

Yes, I'm very thankful. My kids are healthy and thriving. My husband is healthy and has a job. We have a roof over our heads, food on our table, and clothes on our back.

Here are some " rather lame" things I'm also thankful for.

Watching Lost last night! So thankful we're not seeing re-runs.
Grey's Anatomy's 100 episode is tonight.
It's only 3 days until Mother's Day.
It's only __ days until my birthday.
15 days until the last day of school.


Too bad today isn't Wordless Wednesday.

Pirates, Skulls and crossbones, oh my!

I just saw the cutest pirate stamper over at Purplepinkandorange.com, and its only $3.99. What a neat idea, my son and every other little boy, loves pirates, skulls and crossbones. Yesterday as we drove home from his baseball practice, he asked me to make him a necklace. Then he described the necklace, it was not what I had envisoned. I asked for a drawing, but haven't received anything, yet.

After clicking on the pirate stamper link, it took me to what I think, may become my favorite website, Perpetual Kid.
These gloves caught my eye and would be a cute Mother's Day gift or a cute hostess gift.

I could get this organizer for my mom because she hates to cook.But wait, she already said she wanted Amazon Gift Cards to feed her Kindle habit. If I don't get her the gift card, she'll disown me and adopt Beth.


I honor of all the cool moms who've become taxi drivers, this mug is a must! And when you need to jot down something that your kids are telling you while you're driving, here's something to put your notes on, talk to the hand sticky notes! Then file it in this total crap file folder! LOL.

I could get these for my brother's upcoming birthday, keytar key covers. My daughter would love these as well, but who am I kidding, she's 11. No need for these, any time in her future.


Can you guess? I am the perpetual kid!

Honor thy Mother.

After spending the last few days with my mom in North Carolina, I thought it only fitting to mention Mother's Day is May 10th. Please remember to call your mother, send her a card and /or a gift this year. Honor your mother and let her know she is loved and appreciated. Don't take her for granted.

Amy over at Purplepinkandorange has put together a Mother's Day gift guide featuring a variety of gift ideas to honor moms, mommys, mother-to-bes, and mother-in-laws. This guide offers new selections from independent artists you should know, or get to know. Many of the shops are offering special discounts - look for them on the right side of the page.
