I have a really good excuse this time, i swear! Our computer didn't get back to normal until this morning, so i COULDN'T post this yesterday! I had it all ready to go too. But i guess if it wasn't late, it wouldn't be me.
13 of Madylinn's favorite things to say:
(One word of warning, this list grows by the hour, so these are only accurate for 59 minutes from now...thank you)
13. "Ho Ho", otherwise known as Santa Claus. She's not too sure what to think about him just yet.
12. "Golf". I blame her father for this one, but what can i do?!
11. "Baby". She picks up her doll and puts it on her shoulder, pats its back and says awwwww baby. It's too cute!
10. "Mammy". That's what she calls herself. I guess the letter D is hard for her to put in there.
9. "Poooo". I gladly taught her this one. We say it when her diaper is dirty, or when daddy's diaper is dirty, or when the dog farts. She even holds her nose and swings her other hand like she's trying to wave the smell away.
8. "Uh Oh". She says this everytime she drops something, and everytime someone else drops something, just in case they forget to say it.
7. "Bye". She loves to say bye to people. If you're going upstairs, if your going downstairs, even if your just going to get the mail.
6. "Duck". This one was more fun for her when i had the ducky toilet seat cover and floor mats in the bathroom.
5. "Daddy". She loves her daddy, and she loves to yell his name. She also loves to call ME daddy, and then laugh her evil little laugh. Not funny little girl!
4."Bawl", otherwise known as ball. She has a high inflection when she says it, it's too cute.
3. "Down". She has this one pretty much down pat, and she won't hesitate to whip it out at the dogs.
2. "Goggie", otherwise known as doggie. She can point them out in books, heck, even cats/squirrels/deer/birds are doggies now!
1. "Dan goo", otherwise known as Thank you. It's her new favorite thing to say. Waitresses thought she was cute before, now she is irresistable!

Maybe...
So we might have fixed our computer. And by we, in this case, i mean Frank. Well, actually i mean Joe, who walked him through every step over the phone. Either way, i'm hoping that we can be on the internet from home again soon.
Today i had my CPR class in Lewisburg. I always dread getting up early and having to go sit through any type of class. I'm an adult, my attention span has reverted back to that of my daughter. But i know that this is really important stuff, so i pay attention. And i must say, not to toot my own horn or anything but, toot toot! I was definately the smartest person in class today. And the people i was in there with were nurses and aides and people from the hospital. All i can say is wow. But it's done and over with for another 2 years now.
We went to Red Robin for lunch. Neither of us had ever been there before, so it was a nice new experience. It was really good too! But after the appetizer and the yummy flavored tea, we weren't as hungry for the giganto burgers as we thought we were. Then we went and walked around Kohl's for a while, and Frank (of course) bought some clothes. I swear, that boy is like a woman!
And in cake news: Last night when i got home, i made the fondant. And it actually came out like fondant! I was so impressed with myself. I wrapped it up all nice and tight and put it in the refridgerator until i'm ready to use it tomorrow night. Tonight's steps include baking the cakes for the base, and making the Oreo cookie buttercream from scratch. If this cake turns out good, i'm going to open a buisness. Well, maybe not, but i'll definately be happy!

Argh...
So let me start by saying that i've wanted to blog everyday since Sunday now, but our computer at home is going bonky, so i can't get on the internet there. I have to wait until i get to work and i have a few minutes to get on here and write. You would think with my "ever so busy" job, i wouldn't have a spare minute, yet here i am, lol.
Frank went golfing with his friends on Tuesday morning. This brings about his regular routine. Stop me if you think it's too girly, because i totally think it's girly and he doesn't believe me. He spends about 30 minutes (don't let him lie to you, he would try to deny this vehemently) in the bedroom picking out his golf clothes. Seriously, his golf clothes. He is going to spend 3-4 hours in the chilly morning air, chasing a little white ball around a soggy golf course, and he has to spend all this time making sure he "looks pretty". It's so ridiculous, i almost don't believe it. And then he has to come down the stairs and ask me if his outfit looks ok. I'm almost feel like he is my daughter, and she's getting dressed for her very first date. I'm cracking up laughing right now, just at the thought of it!
Now our computer is on the fritz. Apparently we have a ton of malware that is invading our computer. So much so, that our McAfee security isn't even working. He spent about 30 minutes on the phone with the McAfee people, trying to figure out what to do. His initial thought was to go buy a new McAfee...to which i immediately said no. We just renewed the one we have! He was going to get on that phone and tell them to fix it or give us our money back. Well, he won't do that, he's mister "let's give all our money away, it grows on tree's in the backyard", so now we have to find someone else who will fix it. We almost decided to get rid of the internet all together (yea right, that was just my ploy to get him to fix it right instead of being jerked around by someone trying to rip us off). I told him he needs to stop browsing random nonesense sights. He doesn't have to click on every link that comes up, just to see the pretty pictures. Of course, he gets mad right away and says "If i can't do that, then i don't need the internet at all!"..."Ok" i said. After some thought, he figured he better concede that he needs to limit his "random surfing". Men.
Tonight we're going out to dinner with Sara and Jared. Sara doesn't get out much anymore, being that she's 7 1/2 months pregnant now. We need to get her out of the house more, and we will definately need to get her out more once the baby is born, or she'll go batty! Then i have 2 1/2 days to start and finish her baby shower cake. I'm really excited about making this cake. I have such a great idea in my head, i just hope it turns out half as nice as it looks in my head. I'm starting it tomorrow night, so the cake doesn't get too dry and the icing doesnt' get too hard. Plus i have CPR class tomorrow morning (all morning), and a softball game tomorrow afternoon, and a softball game friday afternoon. So needless to say i will be one busy person the next few days. I hope it all works out!

Happy Mother's Day...
For my mom:
Without You
Mom, without you, there would be no me.
Your love, your attention, your guidance,
have made me who I am.
Without you, I would be lost,
wandering aimlessly,
without direction or purpose.
You showed me the way
to serve, to accomplish, to persevere.
Without you, there would be an empty space
I could never fill, no matter how I tried.
Instead, because of you,
I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Thank you, mom.
I have always loved you
and I always will.

For my daughter:
As I watch you grow
Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart
it's there you'll always be though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me awhirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals, sit before you very near.
With god's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt Love!

Just call me "No, No, bad blogger"...
I know, i know, it's been a week already! But this is a busy time for me. The end of my work for this school year is coming up in a week and a half, so they are trying to jam everything in to this last week so they can get it all in and done with. So i've been working just about every night the past week. But i have big things going on this week and this coming weekend, so i should have some good stuff to blog about...if i can find the time, lol.

Sitting like mommy
Using her keys and driving her bike away
I'll start with a few pics from our week...

Time...
I know it's been a while since i posted last, but nothing really exciting has been going on around here. I know, what with our super fantastic, exciting lives, how could nothing fun be happening...but it's true!
Saturday we went to Knoebels for the opening day. It wasn't nearly as crowded as it's been in years past on opening day, but the handstamp line was beyond ridiculous. It was buy one get one free day, so everyone and their brother was there. Needless to say, Mady will have to wait until another day to ride the rides. We met up with Sara (my very pregnant BFF) and Kevin (our very good friend), and we ate lots of food and talked and hung out for quite a while. After we left there, we made our way to our other friend's house for a cookout and mini party. Mady always has fun there, because there are other kids there, some even her age, and there are lots of new places for her to play/explore/hopefully not destroy.
I've still been doing my Insanity workouts. I'm on week 3 now. I'm definately seeing muscle difference, but i'm not seeing so much pound difference. So i've started trying to eat healthier, and less often. I know, those of you that know me know that this is going to be tough, real tough. I've been doing good so far though, even though i'm only on day 3 of eating better. Why do i have to love things that are bad for me so much?! And why does my husband have to make them for himself and eat them in front of me when he knows i'm trying to NOT eat them?! He really needs to go back to work.
I've also been stopping to see my Gram on the way home from work some nights. She is currently at the Nursing home on Trevorton Road, and they are working on getting her moved to the one in town here. Hopefully a room opens up soon. I always feel so depressed and sad when i go there. There are so many old people there that have pretty much just been dumped there. Their familes don't come visit, they don't send cards or flowers or pictures. It's so sad. They just sit in their beds and stare at the cold, stone walls. Most of them don't even turn on their tv's to see what's new in the world! It's so sad that things have to be like that. You would think someone would care enough to visit, or call, or send at least a card. And i know the nurses try their best to do their jobs right, but it's like they could care less! They don't come when you press the call bell, they treat the patients like children when they do finally come, and then they ignore them like pests when they are gone. I just hate it there, it's so bad. I can't wait until she gets out of there. The less i have to see other people ignoring their family, the better.
