Haphazard Thoughts

Lots to talk about and not a lot of time to cover them all...

So, soccer is officially over! O-V-E-R! Yippee! I can reclaim my Saturdays again. Now, we can laze around for several hours in the morning again! No more Tuesday practices! YES! Here are the pictures to prove it!

My dad came for a visit and brought 20lbs of crawfish with him! YUMM-O! They were so good! Here are a few pictures of crawfish fun! Thanks Dad!


So, Randy has a friend at work who is about 6 months ahead of Randy in the working out routine. So, Randy will come home and tell me new knowledge that Sam imparted to him while at work. So, the newest thing is protein drinks. While they are not "new" new, it is new to us. So, Randy sent me to H-E-B to purchase EAS Myoplex™ Precision Nutrition Formula® in chocolate. It's a protein powder drink mix. It is the equivalent to 42 grams of protein per serving. That is like eating 2 chicken breasts!

You know how if you drink a slim-fast drink it is supposed to act as a meal replacement drink? Well, forget slim-fast! Try this stuff. I mean, I drank some and the thought of food... well... it is not there. There isn't a thought of food...which is a nice surprise, since I tend to think on food a lot! H-E-B also sells them in the ready-made version for a whopping $2.99 each. Not bad if you are drinking it as a meal replacement! Who wants lunch?

14 more (actual school) days until school is out. I'm actually looking forward to it! I am looking forward to having my girls together again. (Lord, please give me patience... and quick!) Until then, we still have ballet recitals to get through. Here's sneak peek of the costumes, modeled by Kyla Mae! (Shhh, don't tell Elisan that KM tried on her dress. She would have a COW!)

No pictures from Mother's Day! We went to church Saturday night so mama could sleep in on Sunday. It was sooo nice sleeping until 8:00 a.m. Sure beats my usual 5:30 a.m. I was awakened by my sweet Elisan whispering "Happy Mother's Day" in my ear. She and Kyla had cleaned the entire house before 8:00 a.m.! They made their beds, cleaned their rooms, picked up the toys in the game-room, straightened up the living room, laundry room and kitchen! They did a fabulous job and I was extremely proud of them.

Not only did Elisan orchestrate the cleaning, but she also acted as my very own personal shadow the entire day. She followed me around (relentlessly) so I would have someone to talk to. I did manage to use the potty once or twice without interference though. To reward them (and me!) for their efforts, I took them out for ice cream later that afternoon.

Randy got me an "airbrush" tanning session at the local tanning place. So, look for me to be sporting a "canned tan" in the coming days.

A good weekend was had by all!
