Babies for the weekend; Having the crud; Daytona Party; Idol Time!

I know it has been quite a while since I posted last, but I have had the crud and haven't felt like doing much of anything, let alone put my thoughts on paper, so to speak.

So, we had both kids for the weekend 2 weeks ago. The baby was a joy and Jordie was soooo busy! Always playing and likes to wrestle with Pap. Mikey? Well, he just eats and sleeps pretty much at this stage. But, I got some great pics of him!

Here's my little sunshine snoozin' away.


Mikey and Jordie


An all American!


Mikey just likin' his binky.


I was really wiped out when they left, but not that it was hard work to mind an infant and a toddler for the weekend. I was comin' down with the crud and didn't know it.

Monday night (this was the 11th) I started coughing and couldn't quit. Tuesday night, Dean told me to call my doc, but I was a little stubborn. I thought if I just took some Robitussin DM and knocked the congestion loose, I would get it out and be ok. Well, the coughs were productive, but awful. I called the doc on Thursday and got an appointment for Tuesday, the 19th. Just have to deal till then.

The 17th was the annual Daytona 500 Party at Dean's cousins'. We always have a good time, good food and good drink. I didn't feel too bad that day, and even rode Joey's quad a few times! I truly am a redneck woman. It was so much fun!

Here's a pic of everyone awaiting the start of the race.


Todd, Courtney, Joey, Jessica and Jeff.
Todd is one of Dean's boss' at Parkhurst PNC 1. Joey is the one who owns the quad I rode. Courtney is his girlfriend, and Jess and Jeff are "dating". Jeff works with Dean, too.

Dean carves the meats. Turkey and Ham.


This is the sheet cake Dean made for the Party!

It's American Idol time! Woohoo! I watched the prelims for the first time this year. Now we are down to the 24 and 4 will be eliminated. I watched them sing, and even took notes, so I have to say the ones that were eliminated I pretty much agree with the judges and America.
Names with the * are ones I would vote off.....

David Hernandez: give him one more week
Chikeazie*: Voice was flat
David Cook: Awesome

Jason Yeager*: He's no Andy Williams

Now to update: Went to the doc's on Tuesday and got a nose spray and prescription. Took all the pill and still have nose spray left. Feel much better. Still coughing and expelling crud, but feel better.

Went to see the Gunslingers on Friday nite at the Rhythm House Cafe in Bridgeville. It was Country Fest, so there wer 3 other performances before the guys went on at a little after a 11 p.m. It made for a long nite. First was Brynn Marie, who is a really pretty chic with a great voice. Does alot of Sugarland tunes and does them well. Then this chic who sang and played acoustic guitar filled time while they tore down and set up the next band, Southern by Choice. They were ok. The the acoustic chic came on again, then they guys had an excellent show! We got home at 3 a.m. and the got up at 11 yesterday. Went to breakfast (actually it was lunch) and Walmart and came home and I slept in the chair all afternoon! Had dinner, watched TV and then went to bed. I feel so much better today. I hadn't been sleeping well with this cough, so I think I finally got caught up!

So, it's another race Sunday, weather permitting, so I guess I'll go watch prerace now. Sorry this post was so long. Hope you didn't get too tired reading. But when you don't post for 2+ weeks, there's alot to catch up on!
