PHELPS PHAN!!!!!!

Pause music at the bottom of the blog to listen to you tube video. I have never watched swimming, yet I didn't miss a race Michael Phelps was in. He is amazing and a true inspiration. He says nothing motivates him more than when somesone says it can't be done. We need more role models like him!!!!!

I feel like Eva Gabor

I spent three and a half hours being pampered yesterday. Chris got me a spa package for my birthday in December and I just used it. This is the life. I feel so relaxed and like a Queen. I don't know why but when thinking what song could I put to a spa entry Green Acres came to mind. I can't explain, other than I live in West Texas and I felt fancy today. I think I was supposed to be born somewhere like New York with great shopping and fancy living. If anyone ever asks you what you want for your birthday always say a spa package. THIS IS THE LIFE!!!!!!

Viva Las Vegas!

I have been meaning to post about our family trip to Las Vegas and out of laziness am just now uploading the pictures.  We spent two weeks with my mom and her husband.  We did all the average touristy things like the strip and lots and lots of shopping.  In fact Chris and I both had to send boxes home which was cheaper than pay for another bag on the plane.  We took a direct flight 2 hours and 10 minutes (the kids were perfect both ways) you wouldn't have even known we had kids with us.  Thank God for small things.  Chris spend the first week attending a government conference which according to him was excellent.  The excellent part for me was getting to spend the week days with my mom away from husbands!  Jackson is usually a momma's boy but with Grandma around I was nothing.  They got a chance to really bond for that I am very grateful.  If you ask Abigail about Las Vegas she immediately tells you Grandma has an alarm on her house.  This was traumatic for her because she made it go off and she is skittish with loud noises. She will also tell you we ate corn dogs in Las Vegas.  Her favorite food is corn dogs so this was a highlight.  After those two things she will eventually tell you she got a build-a-bear.   I spent 80 dollars on this bear with many outfits and it rates behind a stinking corn dog but that's a 4 year old.  

Frustrated!

I got a call today from the medically dependent child program the one Jackson is currently on.  She was asking if I had set up nursing hours for Jackson.  I have not.  I was on the fence about having someone take care of my child regardless of the fact they were going to pay for someone to come in 49 hours a week.  Yes I typed that right what would anyone do for 49 hours away from their child?  I am a stay at home mom so am I supposed to be home and have someone take care of him?  All of these are questions I hadn't decided on the answer to.  So back to the phone call-- this lady starts saying your going to lose medicaid if you don't get this set up and is acting like I already know this information. I hate not knowing everything I need too, then being treated like I am stupid for not knowing. I guess I will be calling tomorrow to get nursing hours set up. I only have to use it once a month to keep medicaid so.....  What the hell am I supposed to do?  I have no clue!  I realize this is a petty thing to be frustrated by and I should be grateful such a program exists and I am I just have a lot of emotions about leaving Jackson with anyone.  I think I would feel guilty.  If only I could get a housekeeper instead. HA HA HA!
