Please welcome YOUR OKLAHOMA BELTBUCKLES!!!!
So that is the new name of any pro sports team that will be coming to Oklahoma City according to Jeff. I think the other name he came up with was Oklahoma Side Saddles? Not sure.....
Either way....Griffin only has 5 more days left of school!!! How am I going to deal with that?!? I am going to sign him up for everything and anything...gotta get the boy out of the house. I really want to do swimming lessons at the Club...but I have to be there for that :( definitely doing Vacation Bible School only because Meg will also be gone that week and I will need a break. It is amazing how much I miss her when she is not around....just running to the store becomes a challenge. I know you all aren't fortunate enough to have a "built in babysitter", but when it is gone...that rocks your world and turns it upside down.
As for Meg...went to the orthopedic surgeon today and she is doing great!! He has her doing 2 weeks of physical therapy to improve her flexibility and then we see him again the end of May where he hopefully will release her. Great timing, right before she leaves for camp...so that will give her the confidence that she can do as she pleases and not worry at camp about re-injuring it. She also only has 2 more weeks of school. She has graduation on May 17th and then bam...I am the mother of a high school student. It is amazing to me that she has been talking about college so much more. I guess she is finally realizing that school is important and not just a place to "hang" with your friends. She has kicked ass this year with grades....all As & Bs right now...which really when you look back at previous blogs...kinda pisses you off a bit since we all knew she could do it!!
And now for the sad news.....we have made the decision not to go to Cleveland in June to see my beloved Cubs...oh yeah, the family too. Megan's camp is $ 2,200.00 which I just sent in the tuition check Friday. I have yet to find airfare, hotel and a car for less than $ 1,800.00. I just can't bring myself to spend that on a 3 day trip...even if it is to see the Cubs. Now, it would be different if it was the World Series...I would pay way more than $ 2,000.00...but it isn't and really we just saw Dad...and granted we haven't seen Aim or Jim in a while....they will be here sooner than we think. I just don't think that right now, financially with Chris looking at land to build a new office, and we STILL need a fence, and a play ground for Griffin...we can't swing it. Plus we have Disney again in October!!! Which technically we are still paying for the last trip to Disney. Either way, I am totally bummed about it...but I am sure that Dad will find someone to sell or give the tickets too. Aim...you won't mind Mary's sons right????
Still having weird issues with Amy. Not sure what I did to piss her off...but never calls anymore and if I call her she is very short. I guess that is what happens when a 2 year old takes out a 6 year old.
Okay now for some good stuff....I don't know about anyone else...but I fell in love with Cheerleader Nation show on Lifetime....which I usually avoid that channel like the plague. I actually cried a bit at the season finale. If you haven't seen it and like cheesy reality tv...check it out. I also am loving the show Big Love. Who knew polygamy was that cool? Great actors in it and really different story line. Music lately has been the Walk the Line Soundtrack. Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are actually pretty good country singers. Also loving the album by the Fray. And Upside Down by Jack Johnson. Also Jack Johnson did a special itunes mix and he covered "A Pirate Turns 40" by Jimmy Buffet....awesome cover to an awesome song.
Anywho...thought that was enough for now. Adult prom was cool...although probably won't drink wine again for some time. I looked good though...ha ha ha. Who knew 4 glasses of wine could knock a chick like me on my ass....must not have eaten well that day to make sure the pooch factor was low....ha ha.
Talk to everyone soon!!!! Love to all...oh yeah, the movie RV was pretty darn funny...can't wait to see Jeff covered in fecal matter after emptying the sewage....ha ha ha

I think the other name was the OKLAHOMA SADDLE SORES. How pathetic is that??!!
Yeah I'm stressing over the fact that school ends for both of mine in two weeks. I do have Beth lined up for three days a week. I thought I could get away with two, but Kendall has become really demanding with me and been making work impossible. And I think the days of confining her to her room for 'naptime' are over unless I stack another gate in her door 'cause she figured out she can climb over it yesterday. My only consolation is that Maggie will start school a lot sooner this year, so summer will be a bit shorter........
I'll admit to getting hooked on Cheerleader Nation, too, when I remember in time to watch it. I haven't seen the end so don't tell me!!!! Maggie loves to watch it, too, because she loves cheerleading & dance. Funny, since her other favorite thing on TV is football, and she actually watches the game. She makes her PaPaw proud!!!
Sorry to hear about the cancellation of your trip. Sometimes it sucks being a responsible adult when it comes to the family finances, huh?? If you are able to get the fence and playgroud, though, you'd at least be able to send Griffen out to play safely by himself. The only danger would be what he decided to throw in the water.......
Jeff has already decided a box of gloves would probably be a good idea for our first trip in the party rig....
Glad to hear Meg had a good showing at the doctor's. It'll be nice for her to not worry about it at camp.
Looking forward to this weekend!!!

Ok, I removed my other post because I was like what is she talking about, I'm not mad. So, duh, she means Amy Taylor not her sister!! Ha ha. Blonde moment from a brunette! Glad Megs is coming along. I think physical therapy will do her good. As for the grades. . .we all knew she could do it, and I'm glad she did! We'll be sending a grad card out soon. At least I have until May 26 for school. And we have soccer 3 times a week. But the weather has been crap so she has cabin fever (as you have heard on the phone!), so that is stressful! I'm sure you will find enough for him to keep your sanity. Never watched Cheerleader Nation, but I do love Big Love. And also Huff, very good show. I hate wine, personally, just because the day afters are so awful. I'm more of a "tini" gal. And its not like you are some huge beast of a person, so 4 big glasses is not that surprising. And, yes, you did look very lovely.
