sing your heart out


Abbers sang "No One" at the Pops Show at her school last week. She did a fabulous job. I was a proud mama.


It was sweet because we went back the next show on Saturday and I was walking in behind some other girls and conversation went something like this:


Girl #1: Is it different songs tonight or the same ones?
Girl #2: Different ones.
Girl #1: So, is Abbie singing No One again?
Girl #2: No
Girls #1: Oh bummer!! That was awesome.

I love it when people say nice things behind your back.

Photo, by the way, is courtesy of Momzie. Thank you!

I did actually take photos. It's a pretty funny story. Before the show, they made a big deal about "No Flash Photography" and so I turned the flash off the digital camera to take a picture. But, I didn't do it right, so right in the middle of her song, a huge flash went off and everyone. Really. EVERYONE. gasped around the auditorium. I threw the camera at Shanda and said "SHANDA!!" pretending she did it.

It can't be Tina's fault, everyone knows that - she should have been expecting a camera to just drop into her lap.

That is an awesome story.

Man, I wish we had been in town last weekend! I love that song, and I would have loved to hear her. We'll just have to have a personal concert sometime.

You are so right, even if you are the mom- it was fabulous! And I saw that flash!! I'm over there taking low-light photos thinking I'm flying under the radar and then realize that everytime I focus, the camera is shooting out a little light to get a reading...ooops! What can we say- we're the Mommaratizi!

Way to go Abbie!

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't...

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk...
