Middle-Aged Mama!

I'm am so excited to be 30.... Let me tell you why! I had a huge debate after the election about the candidates. I do feel that if people do not want to share who they are supporting fine... BUT if you offer your opinion... I'll be doing the same. When I got to school one day a para-educator was talking about how Obama was NOT going to do a good job, ya da, ya da, ya day. To make a long story short I defended my Obama man (the NOW President elect) and her response was, "You're to young to know better." GULP GULP!!!! Sooooo..... to make my long story short, when I think of 30 I think of 'grown-up' and damn it I better not hear that again because NOW I'M 30!!!!

Anthony and I celebrated last Saturday night. We went out for dinner and then went to the casino. They built a new one in Clinton and this was the second time we have been. I won 84.00 (WOOT WOOT), and Anthony made a donation to the casino. It was a fun night though. We hit a bar in Clinton for a drink and then came back to Preston for a drink also. We had never been up to the 'local bar' so it was fun to see peoples faces. Most probably didn't even know who we were. :) Fun times!

Monday was my actual birthday and some teachers had a surprise party for me at school. My principal came to me on Friday looking for 'advice' on a previous student of mine. He asked if I would come to this 'really important' meeting. THERE WAS NO MEETING!!! There were pictures up of my 'dyed hair' experience a couple years ago, KISS pictures, and some of Anthony and I. What a fun day!

The kids are all great! It was Hudson's turn to bring snack this past Thursday. He brings it about every 20 days. I forgot it... That KILLS ME!!! I felt terrible! He is great though. We watched a little girl at our house today. She is about 18 months and Hudson had a lot of fun with her. He's a strong leader.

Hootie Boy (Hayden) continues to be full of life :) God I love him!!!! He has had a rough couple weeks a preschool. Nothing major... just not resting at nap time, running with the trucks... Did you know the 3 year old is the new 2? SCARY!!!

Abby Dabby Doo is great. She cut her top two teeth this week. She naps most of the weekend away because she doesn't always sleep real sound at daycare. She's great though.

I do have some sad, sad, news... Elmo (AKA the Hermit Crab) died Thursday night. Elmo had been in our lives for almost 2 years. For the love of GOD NO MORE HERMIT CRABS!!! We're going to do fish.

Love to all!!!
