Bass Pro Shops

Friday night Jacob and I stayed on the strip in Branson and Carrie and the kids went back to her brothers. We checked in our room, got cleaned up and headed to eat crab legs at Starvin Marvin's. Saturday morning we were up early to go to Bass Pro. When we got there we had lunch at Hemingway's and I think Jacob ate 2 bites, the lady sat us at the table over looking the whole place and he could not stand it. He was totally amazed....needless to say we went fishing Sunday. I am offering money for people to take him fishing and hunting...lol
Many hours later we were on our way home. Karen (the GPS, yes they named her) only got us lost once in Harrison, and how funny was this...after driving through a mud hole and soaking myself because the window was down I pulled into a scarey loooking tattoo parlor to ask for help. Jacob begging the whole time for me to please not talk to these people....I thought he looked pretty protective in this mask he bought at BPS!

We had a great time! We did drive through some sleet and snow and it was beautiful. WOW at the NWA damage we could see, it looked like someone had chopped the tops off all the trees. And yes he does change clothes, the hoodie just acted as a coat for the weekend.

up with the chickens~

Friday morning we were up very early....after a trip to Wal Mart for ponchos and hoodies, that we did not need YAY! we loaded up....

for a full day of this.....

black hoodies, only because it was cold and because we wanted to look gangsta...lol. It actually turned out just perfect, not cold, not hot and no lines for the rides! Jacob had me ride 4 rides and 3 of them were scarey....

just look at Matthew and Jacob being sweeties and riding with the little ones...hehe. They were not too happy when I tagged them on FB with these pics ;)

Pefect day!

Thursday afternoon we traveled and of course we must start out with Mickey D's.

We made it to Carrie's brothers and his wife Sharon's in Carthage and were all a little tired. I then broke a nail and it was a must, no nail salon in this town so I took the GPS in the pouring rain and headed to the mall in Joplin all alone, kind of brave, I thought. Got my nail fixed =)

Jacob says if I don't take this song off and stop playing the cd he is going to scream. Says he never cares to hear Jesse again...lol poor kid!

Let's start with Thursday morning......Carrie took me to the airport to pick up a rental car that I had reserved....yes my car would probably be okay but it is old and needs no extra miles so I had reserved a car. Well the car they held for me was a Jeep Wrangler hard top, yes it would be fun but not to good on gas mileage. It was all they had so I finally agreed. Now keep in mind Carrie is very busy, the calendar below is just her work calendar, I do not now how she does it!! And by the time I took this pic we were hysterical. At any rate I go to pay for the Jeep Wrangler and the lady says "um maam your license has been expired since September of 2008" is this a joke? no it was not!
So we take off to the closest revenue........ And look what was in the door.....your kidding right?? Nope!
So we were off to another revenue....Carrie laughing the whole time. I was not laughing at this point...A few hours later and I was off in this Pontiac G6, and I must say this car

was great and got great gas mileage.

sneak peek...

lots more to come = )

Update~
Saw the neuro doc, mass is stabilized and we are now waiting on some blood work. This is good news, just hope for good news on the lab work! *fingers crossed*
Oh and the blood work....well on the 1st arm I said to her "I feel funny" about that time she said I must change arms and restick you, never mind the 10 empty vials I could see that needed to be filled. So here we go to the 2nd arm, about that time the guy next to her said "her lips are turning, do something" well um by this point I was not feeling so well, broke out in a sweat and was so dizzy. So they made me sit and sit and sit.

I am signing off~I have a GPS and a Jacob and I will be back to you in a few days =)
Happy Spring Break!!

WBW~Way Back Wednesday

yesterday after work I had drinks with my coworkers at Cajun's for Frederick & Scott's birthday's....Happy Birthday to you!!!

**** I am going to say this is 1998, and the song oh so appropriate. I love to dance and this night I did just that, LOTS of it!! I had a blast!! It was probably the blueish silverish eyeshadow or maybe the vest....lol

blessed!

just because I can't wait until after the appointment on tomorrow....the mass, the whole reason for the mri, well it has only grown a teensy weensy weensy bit since mri's dated 2006 & 2007. Will still meet tomorrow to discuss the next steps...

why do I always come back to the Cool Rider song?

Don't forget WBW tomorrow =)

I tried to tell her....

but she is doing it anyway, j/k. I think this marriage license means Starla is really going through with this wedding in 2 weeks.
Jacob & I can't wait to share your special day with you! My morning has been so hectic, maybe I will blog later or maybe not, who knows.
Happy Tuesday! Pushy people irritate me, just sayin~

just a little update, and I may have another one later...ha!
I now have my camera and phone and purse and so forth. My roomie, he loves me when I throw hissy fits...lol

My roomies crew, boys are silly!!

MRI Monday~
So I had my MRI at 7:45 this morning, they really should make that a little bit quicker process I needed to sneeze and my instructions were, as she placed the cage around my head, do not move your head. And as luck has it I don't hold still very well for anything...lol
The contrast stuff they inject is nasty, I could smell it and taste it. But it's over and I see the neurologist Wednesday. I would appreciate your prayers.

Now I have no pictures this morning because um well um *stuttering* I left my purse laying somewhere Friday night while I was dancing....I went out with the roomie and 5 of his friends for his birthday. The purse has been located and I should be getting it today, thank goodness.

Jacob is on Spring Break and we have a little getaway with the Parsley's coming up...can't wait!!

Guess what Jackie taught me to do......That is right link, link, link~ look out now ..hahaha!!!
This excites me and thanks so much!!

I have a new title....

Bunco Historian...don't hate you know your jealous...lol
I was kind of in a funk last night and had some distractions but I did get most wins in a roll off. April's Bunco, bring it!! I am ready and leaving the phone at home...lol
Although I got most wins I have yet to wear the Bunco crown, and the only blog worthy photo is myself is black and white because I need a TAN!!! Like now!!! just sayin~
I love this group of girls, so much fun!

Let the madness begin....

March Madness starts today~ I have not completed or even seen a bracket, I think it must have crept up on us. I will just have to hope that you win with your bracket.

And tonight is.....

I have had this Bunco set for several years and am now getting to use it.

Jacob is home with a stomach bug, I had to pick him up from school yesterday. I sure hope it doesn't cycle through the house. Until then let the games begin!!

I do have a question that has been brought to me lately...lol??? I am single and dating and certainly no spring chicken(37)...where do you draw the line with age? What is too young? What is too old? Share your thoughts..

WBW~ Way Back Wednesday

Jacob

Baptist Health Preschool 1998

I signed the papers for photos that at the time were called Glamour Shots and went on to work, a few weeks later I arrived to pick him up and these were on display, talk about melt a Momma's heart. And if you know Jacob you know that this is so him, he would wear camo daily if he could. Just give the boy some woods and he would be a-okay. I just asked him the other night why he didn't want to go to the movies with some friends? His response was "Mom I get enough of all that at school, I want to go fishing!"

I chose Way Back Wednesday because Wordless Wednesday is supposed to be wordless and I might want to say something...and for some reason it irritates me to see a blog that says Wordless Wednesday and has 6 paragraphs under the photo, ummm hello, wordless???

I think the funk is leaving as I feel much better today!
Maybe I can sneak in a green beer after all!
I read many blogs, probably too many...lol but I see all these Wordless Wednesday, Foto Friday, Not Me Monday, etc, etc. My plan is to start my own Way Back Wednesday (WBW) being pictures from the past, just any picture I may want to post. Maybe you would like to join in...
