Am I terrible or what!

It's been almost a month since I posted! Things have been crazy. You'd think being jobless would afford me some time to get some things done but I think I'm busier now than I was when I was employeed.

Well this past week, Michael was on vacation. It was WONDERFUL! We got to spend so much time together and we did so much that I think now he needs a vacation from his vacation. First off, on Tuesday last week I road tripped with some of my girlfriends to Paula Deen's buffet in Tunica. It was Holly's birthday and that's where she wanted to go so that's what we did. It was Dee-licious! I was so stuffed that I didn't eat until lunch the next day.

On Wednesday, I went to Dyersburg to re-drop off my job application at DHS (already had the interview and pretty sure I have the job). The lady keeps telling me that she has "a good reason" for being so persistent with me about the updated application and hopefully she will have "good news" for me soon. I think she just can't tell me officially that they want to hire me.

Thursday, Michael and I headed to Nashville to do some shopping and to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular featuring The Rockettes. It was such a good day! The Rockettes are so much fun and we really enjoyed the show. It certainly got us into the Christmas spirit.

Friday night, we picked up both kids after school, picked up Michael's mom and headed to Memphis to go see the Starry Nights show at Shelby Farms. It was...ok. I won't make a special trip for it again with two kids because they really got tired of waiting in the car line. They were both passed out before we left the Park. Oh and we got rear-ended in the car line. Fun stuff!

Saturday we had a Chucky Cheese birthday party for Maddie..one of Livy's dear friends from Gram's daycare. Livy started at that daycare when she was 18 months and left just this past August to go to school. She misses Maddie so much! Saturday night, mom and dad took care of Livy and took her to see the Princess and the Frog while Michael and I went to our Sunday School progressive dinner Christmas party. It was alot of fun too!

Sunday, church, the Nutcracker production, church, school work, bed!!! The Nutcracker was so good and Livy watched intently as they danced. She is taking ballet right now and I'm hoping she sticks with it. I just couldn't believe how well she behaved and how interested she was!
