american idol votes off 2...

wow! i called it! a client of mine has a pool
at her work where they had until 2 o'clock
yesterday to pick the 2 that they think will be
voted off (they do this every week).
she was in yesterday and asked who i thought it
would be...i told her to pick "phil" and "chris".
it was a nail biter though, that's for sure.
american idol sure can stretch out
a program can't they!?
my mom and i sat up and zipped through the tivo'd
results show in that we opted to watch "night at
the museum" with the girls when we got back from
piano lessons. cute movie, worth renting if you
haven't seen it.

everything went smooth yesterday until it came
to bedtime. it ran a little late and amanda's
"8:30" ran closer to 9:30 so she was tired and started
the whole crying thing like she did last summer
when i stayed here for 11 days with them.
"i miss my mommy!" and the flood gates opened up!
she wanted to come and sleep with me and i shut her
down...(hu? hu?...whadda ya think of that kindra!?)
i told her if all went well and she went to bed at
her regular time, that tonight i'd let her sleep with me.

these two are button pushers and their aunt is no
stranger to button pushing. so it's fun to watch
them scheme. :)

another gorgeous day!
amanda gets to go to see her new school, that she
will be attending next year, tonight. she is
soooooooo excited! she wants to take a bath, do
her nails and redo her braids for tonight!
how cute is that! she's such a girl!

talked to gary last night. miss him!
i'll post photos once i get to my house today.

called pete in st. lucia this morning because
em was giving me the "i don't feel good" pitch.
anne, i tried calling you but your phone isn't on.
em is fine, i worked it out of her and made her
lunch. she said that her mom always leaves notes
with her lunch and i told her that she did and that
seemed to do the trick....she feels better now.
she's going to save reading the note for lunch.

sorry to bother you on the golf course pete!
all is wel!!!
