OMG ~ HE WON!!!!!!!

David Cook is the 2008 American Idol winner!!! I am so happy & excited for him. He sooooo deserves it!!!! Like I said previously I have never really gotten "into" AI but this season something was different ~ DAVID COOK!!! And for the first time EVER I actually voted Tuesday night ~ and managed to log in 175 votes on my land line during the 4 hour voting period. 175 votes is NOTHING compared to the 97.5 million total votes ~ BUT I voted!!!! Now I am just trying to figure out how to score some good tickets to the St. Louis concert ~ E-Bay here I come!!!!! And I will leave you today with this pictures from last night:

Death by Drowning

So, early this morning (4:15 am to be exact) I am awakened by what sounds like the cat hitting around an empty plastic bottle in the kitchen. I get up to investigate and find the cat sawing logs in the computer room chair ~ hmmmmmm. I go to the kitchen and hear a funny scratching noise over by the sink and realize that it is a mouse in the cabinets. I bang a couple cabinet doors to hopefully scare him out so I can back to sleep in peace. Then, as I look into the sink I see this:


Do you see what I see? Well, I thought he was faking me out and just waiting for me to leave him alone but then I realized he had drown. So, I snapped these pics to show Bradley and then threw him out the back door. So, I guess if we can't catch the mice with traps then we will just drown them (LOL)!!! Seriously, we have a couple of more mice around here and they are so small they are not setting off our mouse traps so I think I am going to get some of those sticky traps over the weekend and try & get them all caught once and for all!!! All winter long we did not have a mouse problem but for some reason this spring we have been taken over by them not sure what the deal is but I just want them GONE!!!!


Is it EVER going to warm up? I am sooo ready for warm weather EVERYDAY!!!! Next week Lance has Field Day and a Field Trip so I am hoping (praying) for good weather on Monday & Wednesday so he can have a few good days for his school activities.


Speaking of school....the countdown is ON!!! Only 6 1/2 more days including today. And of those days one is Field Day, one is a Field Trip and the last day is a 1/2 day. We will then have 1 week off and summer school starts at the beginning of June for 1 month!!! Homework has already slowed WAY down (which is a good thing for me) and today is his last spelling test (thank goodness). And lots of things/supplies were sent home yesterday already. Gosh, this school year went by so fast!!! Where does the time go?

Object of my obession

Confessions of a 33 yo wife & SAHM of 2. I have totally and completely become OBESSED with this man:

Just look at him ~ how could you not fall in love with him? This is David Cook from American Idol (duh!!!). Anyway, this is the first year that I have ever really gotten INTO any of the contestants on AI. But I was intially drawn to him because he is from Missouri. Then I thought he was a good singer/performer. But recently I noticed the SEX appeal!!!! He has transformed over the last couple months and I believe he has truely become confortable with who he is and what he is doing. And he is such a humble and honest person. He has made it to the top 2 and in my opinion he should be the American Idol but if he does become the runner up he still has a fabulous career ahead of him!!! Love you David Cook!!!!

PS ~ That is him you hear singing!!!!

Watson House of Sickness

Pretty much everyone in the Watson household has been sick for about a week now. The only one not effected (YET) is Lance!!! Last Wednesday I started getting a cold/sinus/throat thing happening. Went to the Dr on Friday and got a shot and started a Z-Pack on Monday. I still have the snot thing going on!!! In the meantime Rylee & I both developed a stomach bug Saturday night/Sunday and we spent most of our time sleeeping and in the bathroom!!! Then Bradley got the stomach bug on Tuesday & Wednesday!!!!

We had a laid back Mother's Day ~ since I was sick I spent most of it sleeping. I didn't get out of bed until 12:30 PM!!!! Then I only relocated to the couch for a nap (LOL)!!! Both of the kids gave me a card and a picture frame. And Lance was super helpful all day ~ halping around the house and with laundry ~ such a little sweet heart when he wants to be!!!

Saturday we went to Lisa's house for a BBQ/Mother's Day/birthday (John & Robbie)/graduation (John)/going away party(Ty). We took some pics of all the families. I will get a few edited over the weekend and get them posted.

I win the bad mother of the year award!!!!

Well, yesterday as I was peacefully snoozing on the couch and Bradley napping in the chair when our front door popped open and in walked Lance!!!! I thought ~ how long have I been asleep? I looked at the clock and it said 11:53 am Hmmmmmm, then it dawned on me that it was a half day of school!!! Fortunately, we were home and not out running errands. When I asked Lance how long he had been outside ~ he said that he sat on the step waiting for us to open the door and started eating his lunch (the one that I packed this morning thinking that he had a full day of school). Well, it is good to know that he will not wander off if we are not home for some reason.

This evening the boys came home with a DOG!!!! So, it looks like we will be dog owners again. It is a young Beagle. His named is Copper. I hope this works out. Tomorrow we will need to buy a bag of dog food. Tonight he ate 2 whole hot dogs and would have probably eaten 2 more if I had let him!!! Hungry little fellow!!!!

I have 1/2 of my SnS design team projects done for the month already. We received our Upsy Daisy supplies last month so I was able to get started on those ~ and I am extremely happy with the results!!! I will try & post some pics next week. Now I just need to wait on my ribbon kit for this month to finish up the rest!!! Which went postal last week.

Tomorrow we clean house!!!! I was going to do that today but didn't ~ so tomorrow it is!!!! And maybe I will be able to get Bradley to BBQ. I just hope that it isn't has cool and windy tomorrow as it was today.

Well, I am working on cleaning the SB/computer room so I am going to log off for now ~ nighty-night!!!!

I have created a MONSTER!!!!!

My husband is OBSESSED with http://www.youtube.com/ What have I done? I'll tell ya what I have done.....I have severely cut into my evening computer time. That's what I have done!!!! He will log on shortly after supper and stay on there for hours watching videos clips. One night he didn't come to bed until midnight ~ last night it was 11 pm. He likes watching clips by Rodney Carrington, Roy D. Mercer, Bob & Tom, etc ~ all the comedy type ones. Last night he tried to suck me into his obsession ~ he ran back to the bedroom to get me to come watch one of the videos. It was kinda funny but I was going back to bed. But he insisted that I stay and watch one more ~ OK fine. Then after that ~ just one more!!!! After about 6 or 7 I had plenty of comedy for the evening and I was going to bed ~ Goodnight!!!!! His idea of comedy and my idea of comedy are 2 totally and completely different things!!! Oh, well at least he is having fun and actually learning how to operate a computer!!! I was fast asleep when he finally came to bed. My mom said that if we get a laptop we can probably "hook into" our existing internet from anywhere in the house. Sounds interesting ~ I will have to check into that with my internet provider and if that is the case maybe next year with our income tax $$ we will buy a laptop!!!

I have lots to get done today and Bradley probably got rained out at work so he will be home soon (I better get busy to look like I have been doing something around here LOL)!!!! Later!!!

Spring has Sprung.....

The birds are singing, the squirels and rabbits are playing, the grass is green, the trees are budding and the flowers are blooming. The kids and I went through their spring/summer clothes last week ~ they are both ecxited to have some "new" clothes to wear. I am just excited that it is FINALLY warming up outside ~ It has been a LONG winter!!!!

Last night Lance had his first ball practice of the season. I must say that it appears that his team is actually going to be pretty good this year for 6-9 year olds. They were all nailing the ball last night!!!! Practice will be each Wednesday during the month of May and then we have 12 games from May 28-July 8. Can you say BUSY? Because that is what we are going to be!!!! Between games, summer school and 2 birthdays during the month of June I am going to be swamped. Not to mention that June will be my busiest month in regard to my design team duties at Savvy-n-Sassy!!!!

And maybe just MAYBE I will be helping my mom move!!! I hope so anyway!!! She has had a few lookers at her house but nothing too serious yet. But they are serious about selling. They are currently having siding installed, a new front door put on and replacing most of the lights/light fixtures inside the house. Mom's brother from Seattle will be in town visiting starting tonight for 12 days. So, some of their projects will be put slightly on hold until their visit is over.

Here are a couple of pics of Rylee from Saturday (while we were taking pics of Ty and his date).

Rylee's "flower" bouquet:

Kelsey's bouquet:

Well, that is all for today. Oh, BTW, still no mouse in our trap (LOL)!!!!
