Anything But Gray

I am so, so proud of my sister!
She is officially a college graduate! She passed her last final this week.
My sister has amazed me with this. She did this while working full time, being a wife, being a mom, going through several different personal struggles….this is an incredible accomplishment and I am so, so proud of her.
Beyond proud.

I am so bummed that I can't be there. I owe her the biggest party of the planet when I get back there.
She deserves it!!

GO SISTAH!! I am so proud of you!!!!

Dave and Wanda are in Colorado on a business trip and I have no clue why, but I am just GIDDY excited about it. I called them on the way to the airport, I called them when they were still at the airport, I called them when they landed in Denver. LOL I'm such a pain in the ass…
I honestly have no clue, it's not like I'm going to get to see them. I think it's just cause they are closer and that somehow makes me excited. I honestly don't know why I'm this excited.
The business aspect of it has me excited for them. The fact that it is their 16th wedding anniversary and it's the first time they've flown since their honeymoon has me excited for them. The fact that they are getting away, just the two of them has me excited.
I love them so much and it just makes me so happy that they are happy.
Maybe that's it. lol.
Get this…..guess where their plane was continuing on to? Give up? ANCHORAGE!!!!
I was like "oooh…just STAY ON THE PLANE!!!!" LOL
Too funny. What a coincidence, huh?

So I have been really excited all day. Last night I picked up a bottle of that wine at Costco. And I have really been looking forward to the kids going to bed, getting in the tub with a glass of wine. Usually I bring a beer in with me (real classy, huh?? lol) and I was looking forward to this wine, it was that good. Anyway, I was SURE I had the right bottle, so totally positive. I called Kim tonight and IT'S THE WRONG ONE! I am so annoyed at myself. Hopefully I like it. If not Kim says she'll take it, (she's coming over for a visit tomorrow) so that's good at least it won't go to waste.  I'm sure I'll like it enough to drink it, but still….I really, really wanted the one I had last week. Oh well….I'll get the right one tomorrow.

I dropped Ben off at daycare this morning and Dolores (his daycare provider) gave me a gift bag for Mother's Day!! How sweet is that??? That really made my day. Oh and yesterday one of the little boys there ran up and gave me a hug when I was picking up Ben….that was so sweet! I adore this little boy, something about him just tugs at my heart and that was so sweet that he ran up to me and gave me a big hug. I thought Ben would be pissed, but he was fine. LOL

I told Dave and Wanda to call me when they were done with dinner and I don't know if they will, they will probably be tired from the trip and want to spend some "quality" time together and go to sleep. BUT I'M SO EXCITED FOR THEM I WANT THEM TO CALL!!!!!!! LOL
I'm restraining myself….I can't call them….I can't. LOL
They so wouldn't mind, I know they wouldn't and it would be so typical of me to call. But I'm going to be nice and not bug them. Tonight.
I'm *so* calling tomorrow….LOL

J…I'm thinking of you this weekend, bigtime.
Danielle's son is coming over to play with the kids in the am and Kim is visiting but I'm planning on calling in the afternoon sometime. I love you!!
