The Month of May

Happy Mother's Day! I hope all of my Mommy friends had an enjoyable weekend. May is a very special month. It starts off with Cinco De Mayo- a great reason to drink Margaritas and eat guacamole!

Next is Mother's Day! This weekend should be spent doing only things that Mothers like to do, you know- cleaning and laundry and junk. No, not really. This weekend for me included 2 days of sleeping in and a big nap on Saturday! Since DL was working this weekend (bummer), the girls and I went to the lake with my parents. I did nothing but eat, which was really fun at the time but right now, after the fact, I've decided that I wish I would have stuck to my good-choices plan. Oh well. The good choices will start again tomorrow!


Following Mother's Day- we have the entire month to celebrate the anniversary of my 21st birthday! We celebrate ALL MONTH. Everyone is invited. I do exactly as I please to do, I shop, I do whatever makes me happy and the excuse is that it is my birthday! Why limit this to just one day? Why? It does fall on the 29th, should any of you be wondering- but go ahead and drink an extra drink and say it was in honor of me! On my actual birthday, everyone will honor me by doing exactly as I want. Usually, I torture Darren by making him do what I want to do at the lake. I don't know if he'll be able to come this year, but I'll find someone to glom onto and I'll make them do exactly what I want. No grumbling or fussing, or I will go all Kelly Osborne on their ass and quote (in an English accent), "BUT IT's MY BIIIIRTHDAY!" Kelly actually put the f word in there, and I might have to depending on who is around.

Do you know what is in store for me on Tuesday and Wednesday? A special kind of torture called "Strategic Planning." I have to go out of town with my fellow managers so we can have STRATEGERY. This means assigning tasks to people (mostly me and 2 other people), and having to review what strategic planning means to those of our team who might be elderly and have forgotten about when we had STRATEGERY last February. Oh, I can't wait.

Those 2 days do NOT count as part of my birthday, so my birthday will extend two days into the month of June. Gifts are not necessary. Just lots of praise and telling me how cute and tan I am, and telling me that you can see that I've lost weight (even if that is just a lie, because whatever I did lose is right back with me after this weekend.)

Ugh! I am jealous of fun lake times. We have gators down here and unless I have a klonopin and about 47 beers I am a nervous wreck out on the water.
Your girls are too cute BTW. LM is so getting so big in the new pics. :)

Lacy, your gators get in the lake? You should stick to swimming in the pool, but go ahead and keep with the Klonopin and 47 beers regime.
