If Only I Can Bring Back Time

Hmpf! Two years of my childrens' lives gone into never land! I tried to recover them but they're nowhere to be found. I did some major system cleanup a few days ago and I must have cleaned up a folder I wasn't supposed to and now they're totally gone! I'm miserable! So take it from me. BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM!!!! Don't be like me and procrastinate. I've always wanted to buy an external HD to store my priced files and never did. I finally did today. Now if only I can bring back time....

Lesson learned: I'll be better about taking photos on a regular basis, sharing them and saving them!

Here's a photo I took today of my son.....the BUG GUY!!!

TTFN~

Argh! The case of the missing photos....

OK, so I logged on to my iPhotos yesterday and guess what?! ALL my photos are GONE!!!! GONE!!!! did you hear that? Who took it?!? So now I have to figure out what happened to them. Like I need more things to do. I just hope I recover them or I'll die. And this time around, I'm buying a back up system. I know ME BAD! I always say I'll get one then I never do...so now, I'm learning my lesson.

Ava and I had a great weekend. She and I went out for sushi and did some shopping. Kurt and Connor took the kayak out on the lake and went fishing. It was a nice quality time with the kids. Housework? Well, that's another story.... I think I really need to get a housekeeper since I can't keep up with that. I managed to get the upstairs clean and some laundry...but that's it!

Kids - gotta love them! :) I thought with Ava growing up, she'll need me less. WRONG!!! Academically, I need to work with her to develop better study skills. She's a A student, but she's struggling with AP Math. So, yes, she needs me. I dread the days when boys start to occupy some of her time. Then I mentioned earlier how Connor was being potty trained...well, we've graduated there. Whooo-hooo! But if you're a parent, you know that a toddler, requires plenty and I mean PLENTY of time. He constantly wants to play, in between bathroom breaks, and snack breaks....I swear it's all about him! What?! What happened to my ME TIME?!? Hah!!! Well, I'm lucky that I have Thursdays for that. He goes with my in-laws so I can have my me time, then. But, Oh Calgon, take me away.............NOW!

Ok, Connor is calling.....will talk to you soon! Hope you're having a great one, wherever you're at!

You're looking kinda lonely girl
would you like someone new to talk to
ah yeah alright
I'm feeling kinda lonely too
if you don't mind can I sit down here beside you
ah yeah alright

If I seem to come on too strong
I hope that you will understand
I say these things 'cause I'd like to know
if you're as lonely as I am
and if you mind

Sharing the night together

Sharing the night together

We could bring in the morning girl
if you want to go that far
and if tomorrow finds us together
right here the way we are
would you mind

Would you like to dance with me and hold me
you know I want to be holding you

ah yeah alright
'cause I like feeling like I do
and I see in your eyes
that you're liking it too
ah yeah alright

I'd like to get to know you better
is there a place that we can go
where we can be alone together
and turn the lights down low
and start

Sharing the night together
woah, yeah
sharing the night together
woah, yeah
sharing the night

You're looking kinda lonely girl
would you like someone new to talk to
ah yeah

if you don't mind, can I sit down here beside you

sharing the night together
we are sharing the night together...

What European City?

Well, I'm here visiting my friends blogs and came across this one. Thanks Rene for this fun little tidbit. I guess I belong in Milan. :)

You Belong in Milan

Stylish and sophisticated, you want to enjoy a truly European life - away from tourists! Milan fits you perfectly. Great shopping, high quality food, lots of culture... with very little hype.

What European City Do You Belong In?

So much is going on in my life right now yet I haven't had the time to blog and share them with you. Partly because I don't know if there are any freaks out there being nosey and just checking me out. HAH! Anyway, friends only please! ;)

So what's new? I'm coaching my daughter's volleyball team again this year. The final one -- YEAY! Our record so far 3:4. Oh we should have won that POP game...it was a nail biter nonetheless!

My almost 3 YO son is now potty trained! WHOOO-HOOOO! Such a milestone. I got it done before his 3rd birthday. Whew!

Still home remodeling.....kitchen looks sexy......right Tammy?!? ;) I need to post some pictures soon...I will, I will. The tile people scratched my stove top.....my brand new stainless steel range! Luckily, I still have a balance for the tile work...guess they won't be getting that!

What else, what else, got some unnerving news about something personal. I'll know more in March. Hope all is well. Please pray that it turns out "B" for me!

Hmmm.....lots more stuff going on.....I need to get a handle on them....but for now....Cie La Vie!

Thanks for stopping by....

Oh yeah one more thing --- {INSPIRE} to stimulate to creativity or action.....to be the cause or source of. {IDIOT} - you know who you are!

{SMILE - you're on candid camera!}

Desire To Inspire

Look at this blog I spotted! I just love the inspiration on this one. I even love the blog title. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
