I AM Procrastination.

Why ever would a word like procrastination have a prefix of pro?? This makes no sense to me. at all. I always considered pro as something in a positive direction ~ it just doesn't seem to be the right prefix for Procrastination. It should be... stupidcrastination... damncrastination... Imanidiotcrastination.

Batterrrr UP!

Tre's T-Ball Game lastnight. It amazes me how much he and his teammates have learned and actually obtain.

Almost everyone of them are hitting the first or second pitch thrown.

They are so adorable on the field!

Birthday Camping

For Tre's birthday this past weekend we all went camping. We packed up J's boat with tents,
blankets,
pillows,
backpacks,
firewood,
the camping stove,
coolers,
tre's new telescope
and a couple of toys for the boys to play with if when they need something to do. Then we proceeded to head out to one of the Intercoastal Islands up near Big Talbot Island.

The ride out was beautiful! We managed to find a little deserted island that already had a burn pile from previous boating campers which included a big log to set on while enjoying the fire.

Once we got set up we realized we forgot to bring a few items, a few important items:
tent poles for the boys tent,
toilet paper,
a flashlight,
tools to put Tre's new telescope together,
the camera
and

beer.

Wait.

Beer?

There's. No. Beer. AAAAHHHHH!

It's ok. We made due.
The boys slept with us in our tent.
The moon was bright enough that we could see our own shadows thus no need for a flashlight.
And while it would have been nice to have toilet paper and beer, we were able to manage without.

We had so much fun, and while I'd love to share photos with you all I just can't, you see, because, well, we didn't have a camera to take any.

Regards.

Happy 6th Birthday Tre!!

My little boy, my first born son. Growing everyday, accomplishing new feats every minute.
Proving himself to the world that he shall overcome.
Strong heart, Beautiful wisdom of an old man.
Youth and innosence endures.
I love you Punk! With all my heart.

You Will show your strength to the world. I know.

We've a new addition to the household.

I'm pleased to introduce Napolean.

adopt your own virtual pet!

Amazing, the useless nonsense that stays in your head.

WD40 stands for Water Displacement and they actually tested 39 different formulas before they got the correct formula on the 40th test.

387-2456 was my grandmother's first and only phone number my whole life and until the day she sold her house two weeks before she died. I will never forget that phone number. And if you put the numbers in order you can count 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. (i figured that out when I was 6.)

In one lifetime a person will actually yawn enough times to equal almost 3 weeks.

VCR stands for Video Casette Recorder or Visual Cocaine Rediue (LOL)

Tractor Trailers actually come in two sizes, 48foot length and 53foot length; two types, Air Ride and standard; and two temperatures, Refrigerated "reefer" and not (but I'm sure can adjust the temp on the "reefers")

Hurricane Katrina killed just over 1,000 people.

Duct Tape was invented sometime during WW2 to stick stuff that needs to be stuck.

I'm sure there's more, I just got bombarded with calls and lost my train of thought.

Happy Birthday Nat Bug!!!!

We Love you So Much!!

3 years in this world. In our lives.
staking claim to a large spot in our hearts.

You are beautiful Nathaniel.

They Love to Fly Kites

These boys Love to take the kites down to the beach.

Nate tends to lose interest once we get down there.


But not Tre. He watches that kite with perfect intent to fly it the whole night.


Maybe it's the whole idea of being able to control something in the sky.


Maybe it's the thought that even though you can't touch it you can hold on to it as long as you want. Kind of like Tre's memory of their dad.

Important Nathaniel Quotes

On our usual route to Nathaniel's school this morning I went one block past the street in which his school is located.
Nathaniel pipes up to alert me of my error by saying "Look! You went too far momma, you past my school, you have to turn around".
I replied to this demand "Ok honey I'm turning around now, thank you."
To Nathaniel, this was not done (he always has to have the last word)
So he had to add "Look for your eyes momma, you past it."
So, just as he instructed, I looked for my eyes (instead of with them because, really, what good would that have done?) and I did indeed notice that I past his school. Thank goodness he told me.

He's so cute sometimes, I just wanna squeeze his little cheeks off. And the little bug is gonna be three on Saturday. Lord, sometimes I just can't see how fast it's going gone.

Nathaniel & the J

My camera's been acting funny as of late. I think Nathaniel has gotten to it and adjusted some sets on it. I just can't figure out which ones. I've to study the manual.

Nevertheless, Nate having a go at Jay. Believe it or not I think Nate bested him this match.

Camping is always FUN, even in the backyard.

This was Saturday, after the Monster Truck show. They were Exhausted! So Jay and I packed 'em up tight in the tent in his backyard and as soon as I said "Ok, boys I'm headin' inside, sleep tight" Nathaniel decided he wasn't supportin' Tre's wild fascination with camping. Nate slept in the house. Tre was fine, passed right out in that tent all by himself. But of course momma wasn't letting him sleep out there by himself, so I went out there at about 1am and slept (actually laid awake for about 4 hours) right next to the Punk. He didn't even know I was out there until about 7am.

T-Ball Anyone?

Tre's first year of T-ball. He likes to call it Tre-ball. He's really great at Saturday Practices, week days are hard to concentrate I think because it's after school.

This particular day he hit the ball every time it was pitched to him and didn't need to use the T once. I am so proud of him!! I'm happy that he really likes playing. First big game is March 4th.
