I have resurfaced

I'm back again! I know it probably seemed like I fell off the face of the earth. I was sick the past few days. Let me just get this all out of the way. I was sick, couldn't sleep, and yesterday I had a a migraine and I started getting dizzy so I took some Dramamine last night to help me sleep and help with the dizziness/nausea but I'm feeling 100 times better today. Sometimes sleep can do wonders for a person. Now, on to more interesting things. (ha)
My last post was Friday...I did have a good weekend. The kids were invited to spend the night with their cousins at their Papa's house (Jessie's dad) so Jessie and I, happy with an unexpected night to ourselves, dropped them off and went out to eat..we went to the mall and I got the notion to look for a new purse (which I got, its cool, it's more like a "bag" but it has a long strap I can just sling over me, so its much nicer than the old purse straps that fall off all the time- anyway). We just browsed most of the time, then Kim called me. She and Jerry were quite ill, 103 degree fever ill. Leia was at a friend's, and Becca wanted to come spend the night. We, being the sympathetic souls we are (she was bored and "lonely", said Kim), went to get Becca a little later. We went grocery shopping at Wal-mart and then went home and watched "She-ra" until we fell asleep. All in all, a very good night.
Becca went to church with us the next morning, and Sunday night. I had the brilliant idea to go to quarter night at the bowling alley (games and shoes are a quarter per person) after church. So, in two trucks (my car is still being fixed from the deer incident) we head to Tupelo, to the bowling alley. The parking lot was SO packed that Jessie had to park his truck across the street. We all unload and go in...to find there is a two hour wait!!! Wah! We were quite disappointed. Especially Seth. He started crying his little eyes out!! I felt so bad, but...the kids were so sleepy (they fell asleep on the way to the bowling alley) that Jessie took them home to bed and Becca and I haunted Books-a-Million until it closed. And I got my yearly dose of teenage drama. Apparantly Becca got to know a boy from school at a party Friday night and they kissed and she couldn't WAIT to go back to school to see him. (!!!) It was good to see her so happy though.

I could go on and on...but I've done that long enough already. I'll just tell a few things that have been going on.

*Jessie is obsessed with a Weird Al Yankovic song "White and Nerdy". It is really hilarious. But he's been listening to it over and over so he can learn the words. Think the song could possibly be talking about him? haha
*I am extremely out of shape. We played baseball in the yard, early Monday afternoon I think, before I started getting sick, and I could barely breathe afterwards. All that chasing the ball around...I'm not the girl I once was!
*While I was sick, I laid on the couch and watched half of the first season of "My Name is Earl". I'm not sure how many episodes that is, but I know its a lot.
*I found a new name I like. Maeve. Jessie will agree to using it as a middle name only for a child, but only if the first name is Lydia. I think Lydia is beautiful, but too close to Lily. What do you think?
*Yesterday was SUCH a nice day...I realized there is nothing better to do on a beautiful day than lounging on the front porch with your husband, watching the kids play in the yard.
