Here's how it will work: This will be a 26 week little class and will happen each and every Thursday. 24 weeks will be actual contest - two weeks (A & B) will be our learning curve This week we are doing the letter A & B (cuz I have to catch up!)! For your post use the Letter A as your inspiration to: post a picture, share a recipe (apple pie), tell a story about your Aunt or the time you went apple picking! Just tie your post in some way to the letter A, maybe the first thing that pops into your head. That's it. There's no right or wrong posts. Just tie it in however you want to! So....here goes. is for That's the station I was trying to watch "UGLY BETTY" on tonight when the president so rudely interrupted regularly scheduled programming! I mean...AGAIN? Isn't he always on tv? Why does he have to be on regular channels? Isn't that what the political channels are for? CSPAN, MSNBC, FoxNews, CNN, etc.... geez... Why can't they just bulletp...

When we travel, my kids always love to stop at Bass Pro to see all the "stuffed" animals and fish. When we travel to KY to see my grandmother, there's one in Memphis that we seem to always be near around lunch time...so it's usually a planned stop. One very fun time there was in July of 2005, on the way home from a family reunion. I don't know which animals were wilder...the taxidermied ones..or my kids! They were so little then!! Silly Boys! And not to be outdone...Miss MollyAnn had to get in on the action Yes...fun times traveling. Life is always an adventure with us. Come for a walk with me down Memory Lane ! And if you have a "Memory Lane" post, head on over to Scottsville to join in on the fun!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama . You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I did NOT eat a piece of pumpkin cake tonight at Greg's. Nope..NOT me!! I'm not sure how it got on my plate....or how those crumbs got on my sweatshirt, but it was NOT me that put them there! I know Molly ate 2 pieces of Vampira's cake (Greg's mom...his name for her, not mine). But it surely was NOT me that ate that other missing piece.

or rather...My Taxes have been accepted by the IRS! I finished filing them online last night...and trepidatiously clicked that final send button to shoot them off into the cyberworld. I always get nervous...did I do them right? Did I claim everything I should? What if I got something wrong? I'm not a very self-assured person when it comes to "legal stuff". But....I've been doing my taxes for the past 20+ years...even when I was married. I've done them alone for myself the past 8 years. I've never had a problem so far..*knock knock knock* (that's me knocking on wood) So..hopefully, thanks to e-file and direct deposit, I will have my refund in 8-15 days! Won't that be exciting!!

Ok...I started out doing the 2010 Mommytography 365 project and am committed to doing this. It was a busy week, once again, but I will try to limit each day to one pic! (and I'm backing up one day and starting with last Sunday instead of Monday. That way my last pic will be of yesterday. 365/16 Sunday went to my parents' house to spend the night before a day of doctor's visits in Hot Springs 365/17 Monday lunch with Molly inbetween appointments 365/18 Tuesday taking a meal to a church family 365/19 Wednesday school stuff 365/20 Thursday packing up Maggie's toys to take over to my boyfriend's for the evening 365/21 Friday Greg took us to Red Lobster.. coconut shrimp, shrimp scampi...and the teeniest potato I've ever had! YUM! 365/22 Saturday My Crown Club girls made Valentines to deliver to nursing homes at next month's meeting. And there ya have it...a peek into my week. I am participating in the 2010 Mommytography 365 Project! For this year long project I ...

Yes, I know..I've been absent all week...life is so busy sometimes, so it looks like I'm trying to catch up on all my entries this weekend! :) My "You're gonna miss this" thought today is about food. (but then, aren't MOST of my thoughts about food?) My kids love to cook. Especially breakfast. They wake up on the weekends wanting to make breakfast...and they want to go all out. **the master chef** **so proud of her biscuits--even before they go in the oven** And Mother's Day is a special Breakfast in Bed day! They work long and hard to prepare my meal on this special day. *2009* *2008* Yes...I just know they will be on Iron Chef America someday!! But I love it! The love that goes into those breakfast trays is unimaginable, and I eat every bite of whatever they choose to bring me. I will miss those moments...having breakfast made for me..when they are grown. hmmmm...Molly is here alone this morning..and I haven't eaten yet. I wonder if I could persuad...

Kelli, at Random Thoughts of a SuperMom is hosting Free for all Friday this week. I wanted to share it with my friends in case you want to get in on it..I hope I'm not too late. She says: It's the fourth Friday of the month. That means it's my turn to host FREE 4 All Fridays! Because everybody likes free stuff, right!?! So...what am I giving away? How about a {SUPER cute} personalized insulated cup to help keep you and your coffee {or cocoa} warm through the rest of the winter! Here is a pic of mine: So...if you would like a chance to win one of these supercute cups, go visit her and join in the fun!!

As usual....I'm a day late and a dollar short, and I missed the contest to post a picture of my family on the I Heart Faces blog. Just as well...we all know I'd just win anyway and hurt everyone else's feelings, and you all know I'm not about doing that! :D But...just to play along anyway...here is my We Are Family picture that I WOULD'VE entered. (altho the blog says the contests are Monday and Tuesday, and it's still Tuesday, so it shouldn't be closed yet, altho it says it is....kinda like my movie store's new policy of renting for 3 days, but when I rent on Monday, it has to be back by closing on Wednesday. Ummm..that's not 3 days. 3 days is 72 hours. Monday - Wednesday is not 72 hours......but I digress. *steps down off soapbox*) Ok....where was I? Oh yeh..posting a pic of my family...let's see.... Here's one... My nephew Max and myself. Everytime we get together, I take a pic of the two of us. I love this baby...and dang it! He's g...

I am participating in the 2010 Mommytography 365 Project! For this year long project I will be posting an image a day. I am hoping this will... • help me find new things around me to focus my attention on • share my world with my friends and family more Anyone interested in photography can join, no need to be a Mommytographer. Ok...I started out doing the 2010 Mommytography 365 project by doing a picture a day. But then I got behind, and well....you know. I lost track. I blame it on the blonde. (I blame a LOT of stuff on the blonde...even tho I'm a BBC ---*blonde by choice*) So...I thought maybe I should do what Mimi is doing and just post all 7 days of the week in one entry. I might have better luck with that. So here is my week. (and you've no idea how hard it is for me to LIMIT myself to just one pic for some days!) 365/10 Monday Back to school. (I use my JA bag to haul my graded papers back and forth, as well as my lunch.) 365/11 Tuesday Molly's Honor Roll assembly 3...
