April Fools Week

Another week like the last one.

Big Hair Affair rehearsed again last weekend, still going great! It looks like the new line up (Rusty's folks) will step in as the actual band starting in mid-May or late May. However, it is looking as if the actual band is going to include me as the keyboard player cuz the other guy kinda wants to get out cuz he doesn't have time for it. So hmmmmmmm. Not sure how I feel on that yet. I don't like being on stage and being nervous and everybody looking at me and what if something screws up........and on and on. It's much easier to be the audience dancing and watching lol. But we will see what happens. We are scheduled to take band photos in about a week and a half and we all have to be dressed up 80's style. I have no idea what I'll put on. I know yall can't wait to see those pics lol.

We didn't end up doing a real restaurant night this time, but we did get some Pizza Hut last weekend. We've had some medical and dental expenses this week that were kinda costly, so we opted to make the Pizza Hut our restaurant night due to circumstances lol. I got my filling replaced and got the dog to the vet. The vet was nearly $200 alone! Rusty had a tooth pulled on Thursday as well. And as if that weren't enough.........

About 3 weeks ago this thing appeared on my nose. Just a round red spot. It stayed there, never got better, never got worse, didn't hurt, didn't itch, didn't nothing. Well I got worried about it and couldn't stop. I got our friend Lisa to come over and see what she thought (since her daughter had skin cancer last year) and she said it did NOT look like her daughter's, but that they all look different. So finally on Wednesday I went to the dermatologist. He didn't seem worried about it at all. Said it did not look like skin cancer. He said it was a ......asdl;fkawoipagh....??? Some fancy name that I did not catch. But basically it's a blood vessel that has come up to the skin surface and it's harmless, only a cosmetic problem. It's a random thing that people get, and it does not go away unless you get laser surgery to have it removed. So he referred me to the oral surgeon - because he is the only person in town who has this special laser remover thing. So I guess next week I'm supposed to schedule a consultation with the oral surgeon to see what it would cost me to have it removed. Incidentally, the oral surgeon is a guy I dated in high school. lol. Should be interesting.

Brooke came to town! Woohoo! She went to Mom's on Tuesday to stay til I think Saturday. Tanner has been there with her ever since. I let him miss school on Wednesday and Thursday to spend time with her and Papaw so I'm sure he's been in heaven. I have not seen him in several days, missing him!

Tuesday evening was my honor choir concert, it went well. Then me and Terri and Micheal rode to bonko together, getting there a bit late. All was fun, but was a tiring evening. Wednesday me, Rusty, and Tyler were just kinda sitting looking at each other - the place sure is quiet without Tanner there. Gosh, I don't know WHAT we'll do when these kids grow up and leave us. It's going to SUCK.

Rusty and I continued to work on songs every night. I haven't watched TV in a couple of weeks. Been working on music. I guess that's not such a bad thing. This week at work was INSANITY. I'm sure no one wants to hear it. I only truly worked 2 days. Stayed home Monday for dentist appt. Tuesday I was gone on the honor choir field trip. So Wednesday and Thursday were it, and I assure you it was ENOUGH. Teachers have had enough of kids. Kids have had enough of each other. Teachers have had enough of each other. Everyone in a pissy mood all week as spring, Easter, and the full moon have all collided into one week lol.

Thursday evening Terri came over with the kids, even though Tanner wasn't here Tyler was begging for them to come over lol. Terri and I topped off the crappy week with a couple o' Diet Coke and Rums and lots of conversation. Rusty was taking medication for tooth pain, and we had a really fun time messing with him. It's like seeing him in slow motion.

Today is Friday and me and the kids are off work. Tanner is still at Mom's. Tyler and I have been working on the yard since early this morning. My neighbor is already mowing his yard for the 2ND time this spring and we've just gotten around to our 1ST. But what can we say, we're busy folks I guess. Here is a picture of a guy who TRULY enjoys his work:
Here is my high dollar puppy dog - cost me a ton this week!

Also, I found this picture on my camera from a couple of weekends ago. Rusty and Donnie behaving like mature grown men lol. The kids got a real kick out of it. I think Donnie would win with the shotgun over the light saber, hands down:

This weekend is Easter. Big Hair Affair rehearses on Saturday, then Terri & co. are supposed to come hang out Saturday night. Sunday we go to Rusty's Dad's and then on to Mom's house for Easter there. We are out of school on Monday as well, and I'll probably rest and catch up on housework!!!! Then we begin that final stretch - from Easter til the last day of school. Woohoo!!!
