Confirmed

It was confirmed that Def Leppard, Cheap Trick & Poison will be coming to the State Fair....I am there!! It was also confirmed that I will be meeting them.....I always said I would meet Joe Elliot and I plan to do just that!!!

I know, I know~ such an 80's girl....maybe I will bring the big hair back..lol

With that being said I will leave you with a little 80's rockin music =)

I just knew when I woke up Saturday that I was headed to sick land...I made it through my hair appointment and that was about all I could do. Fever, chills, sneezing and down right grouch would be the next 48 hours for me. I should not be at work because I am still running fever but here I sit. If I have taken one pill I have taken 100 and made a quick swoop through Walgreen's this morning for more!!
The boys are here on Spring Break from OK and Jacob was able to hang out Saturday evening and go fishing on Sunday. I know he was glad to get the heck away from the grouchy Momma. I hope your week is great!

TGIF and a few random things~
I have heard that Def Leppard, Cheap Trick and Posion will be touring soon, oh how I love my 80's music!!

SEC why were you on my t.v. last night and not Grey's Anatomy???

I am scheduling Jacob for a professional photo shoot in April, can't wait!! Need suggestions on locations, I am thinking maybe downtown, urban style? I dunno need ideas...

This song playing.... well I have been searching for the artist and my coworkers were able to help, you can't stand it?? Just turn it down...lol

And a "Springy" type pic cuz I am ready for Spring AND the Spring River! Have a great weekend!

The whole Facebook thing brings out lots of laughter.....
My 4 year old Kindergarten picture, yes we had 4 year old & 5 year old Kindergarten.....strange huh?
And just maybe the early start is where I got my love for school *said with much sarcasm*
Can you pick me out???

This photo is just because, just because I love this guy!!
Fresh out of the barber shop and all~

Happy Birthday Pam!!

and many more.....

Got Jacob's application sent in to the U of A yesterday for the gifted (lifetime) membership. Not sure what it entails but we will wait for the packet. And hopefully our decision to come out of AP English does not affect this application, but we decided as of last week to stay in all AP classes with the exception of English. A hard decision but we did it. I know too many people with a college degree that did not have AP English.

Kind of a slow moving week for me but I feel better each day =)

Put me in coach..

I am ready....maybe a little sore but ready!
Surgery went well and I had lots of visitors, a big thanks to Carrie, Jennifer & Kim for entertaining me and taking care of me.

I know you all are ready for #2 now.
And so what if we took pre-op pics, i.v. cocktails are the bomb ;)

Jacob was a tremendous help yesterday and bagged 9 bags of pine needles and leaves for me.

carpet cleaned~check
laundry complete~check (well almost)
last minute shopping~check
plans for Jacob~check
Carrie lined out to be the poor person to take me~check

I guess I am ready, let's go under the knife.....

In other news....T.O. kicked off the Cowboys, I am no Cowboys fan but I am sure not a T.O. fan! And I sure hope the Raiders do not take him back!! I heard mention of him going to Miami....... fine by me =)

Without Terrell Owens, the Cowboys still have plenty of talent. And no matter how far they go next season, they will not carry as much baggage.
Jerry Jones may finally be getting it. The Cowboys’ decision to release Owens late Wednesday night had to be difficult for the Cowboys’ owner. But it was the right move. So was the earlier decision to release Adam “Pacman” Jones.
While Terrell Owens is a talented football player, the distraction he brings is no longer worth it to the Cowboys. It takes more than talent to build a championship team.

Play on playa!
*said in my gansta voice* LOL
You know I picked Molly, but seriously she should take off running now!


And the next season...gag! I did not care for Jillian, the way she spoke was like fingernails on a chalkboard...

My Monday nights will be more open =)

2 more days til surgery and I am one busy bee, trying to get things squared away.

Are you serious??

Bachelor dude, your a trip!!!
Yes Molly was my pick all along, BUT to bring that poor Melissa girl on stage televised to tell her that...wow! Maybe she turned out to be a royal witch like I had said all along.

I kept thinking is this staged? Is this real?
Do you think it could have been staged? Share your thoughts....

And I think if I was Molly I would let him get on down the road...ha! How redneck did that sound? *laughing at self*

U2 releasing new album...gotta check that out.

Weekend you go way to fast!
Office outing on Friday @ Jaunita's, a great time! Jacob & Carrie joined us this time and I took very few pics.
Visits from Brandy & Greg as well as Jamie. We took a trip to Cabot to visit Della and hung out and Jamie stayed over last night, no pics. My camera skills are lacking...maybe I am nervous about Friday.
Have a great week~

We stayed in most of Saturday, Jacob rented a movie and he rented me Fireproof, we ended up watching it together....can I just tell you we both cried, yes my 12 year old son shed a tear over this movie. A must see!

Guess what? I have this song on a cd now!! Boo yah!
You know what that means? BURNOUT!! ha!
Jacob will be ready to toss it soon.
Thanks Kim!!


I am thinking this background is not very "Stacia"
what ya think?

Sometimes Jacob gets creative and makes little pizzas from scratch for breakfast....

~This songs makes me want to hang out the sunroof & dance down the street

~Surgery #1 set for March 6th. I will be having 3 over the course of this year. Come see me that weekend, I will be looking for you ;)

~Jacob looked at the blog last night thoroughly, only to avoid homework, and saw many pics that he requested be removed...not!!
oh and he said I look chinese in this profile pic....

~I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, so not trying to inflict my mood on people...lol

~Is it bad to tell someone to "get a life"


With all that being said I think I will just think about my trip to Branson coming up and change my dad gum mood =)

Update: Mucho better mood-o!! I am grrrrrr-eat! *said like Tony the Tiger* haha

Random weekend pics
Mary Grace gets in a little exercise~ The boys and the Xbox~

Weekend was great. We got to hang out with Jennifer and the girls and cook Mexican Chicken, I failed to get any pics. And spend time with Carrie and the kids as well.

Have a great week!

I love goodies

Happy Saturday!!

Bunco

Last night I started Bunco with a new group of ladies, I had a wonderful time! Can't wait until next month. I did not take too many pics as most of them did not know about the blog and I sure did not want to look like the crazy lady with the camera...lol

We had a roll off for most wins and I won =)

Happy 16th Birthday Justin!!

Love you man!

It is a beautiful day today! I want to be outside....like NOW!!!
And here is the famous flower, you know what I am thinking now ;)

I had my yearly evaluation today, went well, I was pleased. Very pleased!

The weather was nice this weekend and the cold/sinus bug got a hold of me =(
However Jacob had a busy weekend. Saturday he went to the Gun & Knife show with Brett and had a blast! Sunday he spent the day with Clayton,his big , and had another great time! Monday President's day or parent's day as I like call it (the kids go to school and we are off) I waited on the plumber.

Last week we celebrated Mary Grace's bday at Chuck E Cheese and a 12 year old can still find the fun it...lol

strange phone calls and strange text messages...people amaze me!

And The Bachelor well I have called Molly from the beginning, we shall see....

Happy Birthday Mary Grace~

Matt and Madeline are on Rachael Ray this afternoon at 3:00 sharing their story and talking about The Liz Logelin Foundation. Check it out!

Feeling better I would say.....

oh yes I did.....

I have said for years that I wanted to tap again, and last night I find myself standing there in class. I love it and I want more! I danced for years starting at the age of 3 but at the same time it has been many years since I have put on a pair of shoes. My friend Bradi has stayed with it all these years and now teaches. Monday night class in LR, come join us!! The sound of tap shoes makes my heart flutter =)

Be Mine~

Sunday afternoon we made cupcakes and cake balls with Jennifer and the girls.

So much for all of Jacob's plans for the weekend. We spent Friday night at the e.r. until 3 a.m. and let me just tell you, the e.r. in the middle of the night is a freak show!! Jacob has a light pnuemonia and was tested for pertusis (whooping cough). We will not get the results until Monday but the doc did decide to treat him for it either way as she thinks the test will be positive. He has coughed like nothing I have ever seen before!
I called and rescheduled the ACT for April and have spent the weekend nursing a sick kiddo.
I DID however get my car back with no fuel leak, yay!!
