Grown-up Princess/Tea Party

Some of you may have already read about this on my American Homemaker blog, but I'm looking for women that would be interested in a grown-up Princess Party, where you could don your costume jewelry, boas, poofy dresses, vintage hats, gloves, you know all those silly dress up things that you usually have no place to wear :) It would be at the Covey Center in Provo. The cost would probably be about $10 a person and we might show a chick-flick in our performance hall after the party. If you know someone that would be interested or if you think this would be a fun girl's night out activity, let me know.

:(

I haven't felt like posting on here too much lately because I've been sad and grumpy. I've been sick for 5 days now and feel like crap. My car overheated on me yesterday and I don't know what's wrong with the dumb piece of junk. I don't want to move AT ALL!!! But with Ken not getting the job, we don't know what will happen. I do not want to take my kids out of their school and I LOVE my job. We are so happy here. So blah blah I'm sure everyone really wants to hear my whining. Sorry.

Work has been going pretty well... our Bootcamp activity on Saturday went awesomely (which I'm sure is not a word...lol). The kids all had a lot of fun. This coming Saturday is our Princess Party. It'll be really cute. We have a storyteller coming in, a formal tea party with an etiquette lesson and lots of princessy activities.

Here's Caleb working hard on his camo plane for "aviation training".

This is such an UNflattering picture... blah.

Nina and her boyfriend, who she named Ty. He lives in her room now...LOL.

Camoed Lyssie Lou.

Caleb waiting to get in the big army truck.

I should get to see a Ken a bit over the next couple of weeks. He'll be at Camp Williams, so hopefully he'll have an evening or two that I can go pick him up.

No Job

Well... Ken didn't get the job. We're aren't sure what to do now. I was so certain he'd get it. Our family needs it so badly. We're all really sad now.

I Hate Waiting!

I contacted the HR person for the job in Salt Lake we're waiting to hear back from. She said the decision would be made by Friday (yesterday) and we'd hear from them early next week. I can't stand waiting. We are hoping and praying Ken gets this job. It would be a really wonderful thing for our family. I'm so nervous and hate this waiting!!!

I worked aallll day today. It was good though. We had a great turn-out for Kid Time and I had a lot of fun working tonight. I work with some fun people. The kids are gone until tomorrow, so I might as well get extra hours. I also managed to squeeze in stopping at a yard sale this morning and found some fun stuff. So even though it's late and I should be in bed and my feet are killing me it was a good day.

Mindless Fall TV

I'm not a tv watcher. I don't watch the news, I don't keep up on anything current. The tv is just never on at my house.

But, the fall season has started and this year I have now gone from 1 hour of tv a week (Supernatural) to 3 (Supernatural, 90210 & Privileged). I haven't watched 3 shows at a time for years. Not since The OC, Everwood and Supernatural were all on together. I love losing myself in mindless tv for a bit each week. It's a nice break. Three hours of tv is a lot each week for me, but I know most people watch that in a day, so I don't feel too bad. Plus I work out while I watch and run into the kitchen to get chores done during the commercials.

Supernatural was AWESOME tonight. I loved it. And I have to say, I felt quite happy to find out that Dylan is the father of Kellie's little boy on 90210 after they led us on the first couple of episodes :) I watched 90210 for the whole 10 years it was on. If they hadn't of brought back the old characters, I probably wouldn't be watching it, but how can I resist? It's like my long lost friends are back for a visit. ha ha ha I'm lame, I know!
