To Do Lists!

I like the feeling of getting things done. I love a to do list, my favorite part is marking the things off! Some how this week I can not seem to get it all done~
1. Call Erica to get Connor a hair cut
2. Mark things for a garage sale that I MUST have. Any body want to help tag things you know, have a few drinks, while tagging some things (Kendi, this has your name all over it! You are the garage sale queen.) No exchanges at this garage sale!
3. Find someone who wants to buy a baby bed and dresser
4. Call the lady at Aquila and rip her head the rest of the way off since Julie ripped it half way off and hung up on her before she could finish the job. How hard is it to change a name for Derek Julien to Chad McGraw, apparently hard, especially when you do not have a head left!
DRUM ROLL PLEASE........
5. Loose 15 pounds before I go to Mexico with skinny biscuit Michelle Porter!
THAT IS THE ONE THAT I CAN NOT SEEM TO MARK OFF!!!!!!!
I have been working out a couple of times a day! Watching what I eat most of the time! It is time to get serious!!!!

As some of you know Connor talks to our friend Derek at random times! He tells him things that most 5 year olds would not think of! I think I know why!!!! Connor's bedroom is in Derek's old dialysis room. Connor is a thinker! I am sure that Derek spent many hours in that room thinking. I think there is some bond there! Sometimes the things he says are a little amazing and kind of Erie! I am just fine with that! If Connor has an angel on his shoulder I am glad it is Derek! I would be honored for him to get his advice from Derek (some of it!) Derek was not much on babies but he did have a soft spot for Connor! I wish he would have gotten to be around Carlee a little more because I am sure she would have pulled on his heart as well. It has almost been a year since Derek has been gone, it is hard to believe, however he is still very much alive in our home! I hope Connor continues to have that ability to keep Derek going! I know there are several families like mine that have a huge hole in their lives and miss him very much!!!

No I am not dead!


I know, I know! I have been MIA! Well... I have been very busy doing not much of anything. I have been busy at work, trying to catch up at home and this weekend Connor has been sick! He has had the flu all weekend! That really stinks!
We are off to a birthday party, not sure if Connor is coming or not!
On a short side note, I have been working out almost everyday! I have been very dedicated to Curves but now I am going to the YMCA as well as walking outside. One of these days I will be skinny!
