The List

I like this pic..

First Day of school:)
Rockin Rock Band..in his undies
Iced Tea and muffins with some awesome AZ gf's..

10. So some of my Washington peeps, Elaine, The Dish, and Sarah to be exact, did a fun show in Idaho this past summer. Country Living Mag just did a really awesome write-up in the September issue about this very show..these ladies are on their way..to somewhere..I'm not sure where..I hope they call me when they get there;)

9. Had a great time at Anna's on Friday!! Thanks guys and we will forever owe you for getting bit by the rock band bug...which leads me to #8

8. We bought the game Rock Band, have you ever played this game?? Seriously it's way too fun and you all know I don't play video games (well except when I kick butt in Wii bowling). It's kinda like Guitar Hero only better, you can sing. Do you know how good I can sing the Stones?? I was hoarse last night when I went to bed!! Now when you come to Chez Strehle we can rock out, it's fun:)

7. We are hosting a big camp reunion BBQ at our place this Friday night, I'm pretty stoked, it's the first big gathering I've had since moving. It's crazy cuz I did this kind of stuff so much back in WA..all of my hostess with the mostess skills might be a little rusty, wish me luck;)

6. I have to give a shout out to an AZ gf, her B-day is coming up and we are heading out for lunch this very Thursday. PLUS she has just found out some most surprising news..she's pregnant!! So Happy Birthday to a great AZ gf and don't worry I throw great showers:)

5. First day of school went off without a hitch!! Yay!! In fact it went so good, that tonight at dinner Dylan even thanked God for his school!! Ok so this is such a huge turn around from "God, please help me to die so I never have to go back to that place again.", which was the evening prayer last year.

4. So Zach and I started volunteering in the "Snack-Shack" at church:) This little concession stand is available for kids during a few morning services at church..I do have to admit, I feel a little guilty selling soda and candy to kids then sending them to church..it just feels mean:)

3. I promised a give-away this week, look for it later in the week.

2. Political statement of the week..hmm John Edwards..hmm I guess his hair was nice enough to land that hottie blond, even though he had a WIFE who was a brunette!! But really party affiliation has nothing to do with this, Dem's and Republicans alike can't seem to stay faithful. Power is the worlds most potent aphrodisiac.

1. After I dropped the kiddos off at school this morning I felt sad, it's kinda a catch 22, have them with me 24/7 and start to go a little batty, or send them off to school and miss em a bit. It's such a Mom's dilemma. Although after the momentary sadness, I started to feel like William Wallace in Braveheart.. FREEDOM!
