What a nice time we had going to Applebee's last night. It was good to laugh with friends and the kids did a pretty good job of keeping us all laughing! Kenneth is always so silly anyway, and just adding him with a couple more boys got him going more! Chel and Jess are always picking at each other, but are quick to pose for a picture too I'm glad for nights like these!

While my Mother's Day didn't start out the greatest, since I had to go clean the clubhouse first thing this morning. I then stopped at Borders and picked up a couple of books to read in my spare time...lol
Spent some time with my mom, Joel's mom and got a little time to myself. So all in all I would call this a good Mothers day for me. I took some time to scrap downstairs, plant outside and clean...

Why is it as a mom you feel so responsible for so many things.  Or is it not just us moms but women in general.  Of course I am responsible for not only taking care of my children and getting them to each of their activities. (Which I want them to be involved in.)  And those things you DON'T want them...

I swore after the last Bachelor with Jen I would never watch it again, and yet here I am sucked in again.  I have to say I like the changes they've made, but some of the drama with all the girls...yikes!
So as for now Monday nights at 9Pm that's where I'll be, and then after I'll be sure to check out Fans of Reality TV - they are always great with updates!  Including things I somehow missed!
