Both Nicholas & I went to the dentist today ...

I had to go for a teeth cleaning that I had to cancel about a month ago when I had gotten that stomach virus. Nicholas had to go to get sealants put on his 12 yo molars so he should be all set. He has not had a cavity yet and I wonder if these sealants have helped any!!

Emily had her 3rd soccer game. They lost 5-0. She came SO CLOSE to making a goal but the goalie caught it and she jumped OVER her! LOL

Tomorrow I volunteer with the kindergarten class. Now when I show up, they all raise their hand and hope that I pick on them. They are so cute!! I usually take turns with alot of them depending on what Mrs. Scott has me doing that day.

We're looking at getting new cell phones. Mine is dying half the time, Charlie's is cutting off too. Nicholas' went through the washer a long time ago and Emily just wants a NEWER phone! LOL We went to Sprint and as usual we got a new lady that didn't even have a password to sign into her computer so we knew right then, she would not be able to help us (which she did not so we just left).

Well, everyone else is fast asleep so i better go do the same before tomorrow morning gets here sooner than I think :). Ha

PS How do you like my Flip Flop for Dummies book? :)

And the winner of my 1st contest is ....

Barb (GrammaStamper). WOO HOO Barb. Love the poem you wrote and ANYONE who says I look "20" again must take home this prize!! ha ha Thanks everyone for the kind words. I just wish I felt the same. I am still trying very hard to get used to this new color so we'll see how long it takes. Barb, I will mail your goodies out in a day or two :) so be on the lookout.

I am going to hold my first contest ....

This is for Stamp Shack members only. Since I am so unsure about my hair, how about make my day and say something about my new hair color. The winner, picked by me of course, will get some "Friend" cuttlebug embossed images. Christie was nice enough to send them to me and I had went ahead and bought the actual Friends folder itself so I thought I would pass these along to someone else who wants them. They are all different colors, purple, orange, yellow .. so come on, who wants to tell me in their own words how my hair looks. It can be funny or serious ... Let's have fun with it :). I will pick the winner on Wednesday morning :). Sherri

What? A brunette is in the Thacker house now??

I went to get my hair highlighted today and I wanted to do something different but wasn't sure what. I was going to get it cut real short then changed my mind at the last minute. Well, I told her I was wanting it a bit darker and she agreed so here it is .... boy is it ever dark. I am not sure I like it. I think it will take a few days to get used to it. I haven't been "not blonde" in like 25 years!!! So let's see how long it takes me to get used to this color ... Charlie isn't sure about it. Nicholas said its ugly. Emily surprisingly likes it and said it makes me look younger. Woo hoo on that comment!! I can always look younger :). Tell me what you all think and please don't be too harsh! ha ha

Happy Monday Morning!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. We didn't do a whole lot. Emily had soccer practice on Saturday and only 7 girls showed up so they ended up helping the coach spray paint the lines on the field since the lines had washed away the night before. I haven't looked at the lines but I can only imagine they aren't that straight! LOL (let 7 giggly girls spray paint lines? What was she thinking? LOL)

Yesterday I took Emily shopping for what she calls "skinny jeans". I was like "What are skinny jeans?" Where have i been she asked? They are jeans that are skinny at the bottom. I don't think I have any of those for myself so how would I know that? Anyway, we found 1 pair in a size 14 SLIM. Imagine that!! Most of her friends are probably wearing 5-7 juniors by now. All the stores are getting their bathing suits out already. That's quite depressing!! Guess I really NEED to start walking NOW if I am getting in mine anytime this summer!!! Ha ha (Now that is a scary thought!!!)

Today I am getting my hair highlighted or colored. Not sure which I am doing yet - I just know I have too much gray in my hair and it needs to be GONE!!

We have Charlie's birthday this coming weekend so we'll have family over for the day on Saturday. That's all for now ...

We got about 3" of rain last night and I took photos of the farm down the street from us ...

The water is so high I just had to take photos first thing this morning. That is usually all grass and now it looks like waterfront property. There is a creek near it so it looks like it has overflowed. Came awfully close to that barn and all the animals they have. I don't even see Humphrey the camel anywhere around. I wonder where he is?!

Happy March 1st!!

Can't believe its March 1st already. Did you know Christmas is only in 298 days? LOL (its true)

I did a poll to see if my music should stay or go and it was an equal mix so for now, I still have it on there but you have to hit the "play" button if you want to hear it. How's that???? I will try and change it every few days (for those of you who check my blog every single day!).

Emily's soccer game was cancelled tonight due to rain which is fine by me. Tonight is a great TV night so I don't want to miss any of my favorite shows.

Nothing too else is exciting at the moment so this will be a short note :)
