may, you've just about wore me out

for the last few days
we've definitely been dragging out of bed around here.

years ago i went cold turkey and took caffeine (for the most part) out of my diet.

in the last year i've chilled a little and have slowly added just a little back in.

dan makes a pot of coffee each morning ( heavy on the caffeine) that i make a fat free latte out of.

this morning, i asked him to make me a small pot of decaf before he left.

i have a couple carpools, spin class and a stressed out 4th grader.

decaf?

what was i thinking?

i virtually never have a stressed out 4th grader, but today is the science olympics.

last night at 10:30 ( an hour and half past her school bedtime) she was wrapping up the completion of the can car. can car take 5. when her daddy helped her figure out why attempts 1-4 had not been working , she sobbed happy tears and thanked him profusely. precious.

he wanted us to practice with it before school. let me tell you, i'm probably more stressed than she is about it's debut.

our highschool baseball team has made it to the AAAAA state championship.  savannah has road tripped down to south georgia several times this week to cheer them on. saturday is a big day around here as they play in the finals!

good thing she's been a busy girl, since her sweetie has been in Mexico for a week.

which reminds me,

have i posted prom pictures yet?

please tell me i'm not the only one who can't remember if i'm coming or i'm going these days!

the big ballgame follows friday night~graduation for smk & her class of over 700!

gotta remember to pick up kleenex.

can you tell this post is an attempt to keep up with our life?

madison has been her baker self, of course, making icecream cone cupcakes for her health class.

 

a few weeks ago , she created a super cute treat for a fellow Harry Potter fan.

 

 

some randomness....

 

caroline loves to wear her glasses while she works on her homework.

says it makes her more intellectual.

the kicker~

the frames are empty!

what a riot!

 

please forgive what appears to be an abundance

of photos of myself in this post.

with events, banquets and grad parties to attend

we've ended up with a handful of couple photos of dan & i.

as one who never feels comfortable in front of the camera, i'm really trying to be better about that.

 

if i've already posted mother's day photos,

i'm sorry to subject you to them again

but i'm running out the door

(science olympics remember)

&

i don't have time to go back & check old posts

however, since caroline declared that i'm "the bomb dot com"

i'm feeling good, even without caffeine!

 

ya'll have a great day!

& wish caroline's erupting volcano & oatmeal can car good luck!
with 2 more days of school left, we can make it!
