Connor's Big Day!!!

It was a big day at the Amy household....

CONNOR GOT TO RIDE THE BUS HOME FROM SCHOOL!!!!!!

He has been wanting to do this for a lonnnng time. I am really fine with it...I had just never called to make arrangements for the bus driver to work him into the route. It was all rather simple...I guess they really do want to make every effort to get kids to school...so it was a simple phone call...and that next Monday...he was a bus rider! That was the longest weekend for that kid :) He could NOT wait! He loves it...and it really does make it kinda nice for me too :) Sooo, of course now he is asking when he can ride it to school in the mornings :)

Sorry for not updating much lately...ya know, it's all about this new house building thing right now :) We are hoping to move in April!! YAY!

I'm givin' a shout out!!!

I'm givin' a shout out to my best man...who says he does actually read my blog...but is a lurker :) I love him dearly...he just saved us bookoos (sp?) of $$$$ by NOT having to replace his Blackberry...Yep, he just took it completely apart...cleaned it....put it all back together again...and now, his roller ball thingy works and he can dial someone with a "0" in their number again. Yes, this is just one of the MANY reasons why I love him! He can read and follow directions like nobody's business and he can fix anything :) Even fixes me...when I'm broken...or at least feel like I am :( I love you Brian....lurker that you are....NOW SHOW ME SOME LOVE AND LEAVE ME A FRIGGIN' COMMENT!!!! Muches Smooches :)

YOU MAKE ALL MY DREAMS COME TRUE!

Sometimes, life is just too sad. Please pray for this precious family.

In TRUE STACI STYLE.....

( You can barely see the V-A-N in the background...it's the only picture I can find...but that's her!)

Okay...seriously, this should make you laugh....I hope it comes across as funny reading it...as it was when it actually happened :)

Soooo, I'll preface this with...I had ALOT going on yesterday...here's how it went down:

I loaded the kids up...and Mac...for our daily dropoffs at their schools....Kid #1...check. No problem.

As I pulled into the parking lot of Jake's school...I decided to park in a different parking space than I normally do. I am generally a creature of habit .

So, drop Jake off...no problem...am beebopping out to the V-A-N...click my remote to unlock the car, get in...am calling out for Mac...because usually he's right there in my face licking it to pieces...NO MAC :( I get a little panicked...call his name again...still, NO MAC. Then I look at the dash...and think to myself, "hmmmm, I don't have a pink phone." And then, in a matter of a millisecond....I was like, "HOLY #^&....THIS ISN'T MY CAR!!!!" I mean, i bolted out of that van and shut the door behind me so fast...I'm sure I looked very silly...or suspicious depending upon who saw. And believe me...my head did a 360 to check and see if anyone saw what had happened!!!

She was parked where I normally park when I drop off and her V-A-N is EXACTLY like mine. At first I thought...WHY did MY remote open HER car?? But then, logical thinking kicks in and realize, she had just left her car unlocked.

Anyway, I successfully remembered where I had parked and bolted there as fast as I could. I did wait for her to come out because you know, your mind goes crazy and you think...what if something happens today and MY fingerprints would be ON and IN her van???!!!! Holy cow do I waaaay overthink things sometimes :( So, after I told her what had happened...she of course was laughing and was not mad but whew, I mean, you guys, my heart was beating so fast and I think I was sweating.

So, there you go...I'm sure it's not as funny when you read it as it was when it actually happened...but just laugh anyway :)

And if you are wondering WHY I type out V-A-N....it's a long story...but when we first decided to get a V-A-N...I could NOT actually SAY it...I had to spell it...I couldn't believe I was driving one!!! I'm totally over it now...and am perfectly fine with driving my VAN!!! Won't be forever...and it was sure nice not paying $120 to fill up when gas prices were ridiculous! Some day...SOME DAY...I'll get to have what I really want....but for now, it's all good :) Oh yea...her name is VANessa...but we call her "Nessie" for short. Do you name your cars??
