I am just about to go to bed, but thought I would say good morning first. Tomorrow morning I am heading into Grand Rapids to pck my Mom up from the airport. It is her first visit to Grand Haven and i am pretty excited to be showing off my new house and our new town. The kids are off school for the next few days and p took some time off work. We have some fun things picked out to do with her. Tomorrow we are going to show her around GH and take her to the downtown shopping area and the heritage museum and the water front. On Friday we are going to the pumpkin patc and for a hayride. Friday night we are taking her for her B-Day dinner at a nice place on the water. I spent most of today cleaning the house and threatening the children pure torture if they mess it up after I cleaned it. One nice thing that happened today was going to the florist for free flowers. When we frst got here we got a package from the welcome wagon...not kidding, really the welcome wagon, and there was a gift certificate for a dozen free roses from the florist. I thought maybe some nice cheap roses, but I got a beautiful vase of amazing yellow roses with orange/red tips. I have them in the guest bathroom for my mom. I put lillies in the kitchen and living room. In other news, I threw my back out earler this week. What a drag. It was kind of nice that P and the kids catered to me for a few days, it was pretty painful and i don't relish doing that again. I have been trying to double up my workouots and I think I pushed it too far. The bummer about all of it is that I haven't lost a single pound in ages.
Dinner-well tomorrow it is crock pot pot roast, than dinner out, dinner out, tacos, spaghetti, roast chicken and thats as far as I have planned.
Music-I haven't downloaded anything new, ut I did watch the new Alicia Keys/Jack White video. It was very weird. I never did understand what Rene Zellwager saw in him.
TV- Dancing was great this week, but I really wish they would get rid of Cloris Leechman and let someone that is really trying hard to continue on.
Amazing Race was great! I wish that the frat boys had come in first, not Tina (she did NOT get the airline to change planes for her).
Survivor-Bad move to get rid of Paloma and not Sugar, but cleary lack of food is effecting them. I hear from the blogs that a pretty big romance happens on Survivor this season.
Grey's-the new doctor is kind of hot in a weird way. I am loving t this season.
Army Wives-I finally caught up! Last week was pretty week, but this week looks so good!
I still haven't watched Desperate housewives this week.
Kids-G is loving her gymnastics and H tried out for swim team and wll be doing that this winter. Both kids want to try out for ski team as well, however they would first need to learn to ski!
I hope all of you have a wonderful week. I miss all of you so much and wish we could all go for coffee at coffee girl or the "pig".

OUCH!!! Be nicer to your back!
Amazing Race - totally - we laughed so hard about her having them "change the plane" I'm glad the couple that lost did though they annoyed me. I think at this point we are rooting for 2 - the long distance couple and ummmm I think it is a brother sister ...I'll remember next week for sure - I'll know as soon as I see them.
Desperate housewives - well, I'm not going to do any spoilers, but it's hard for me to believe that Danielle's baby is OLDER than Gabby's oldest - ummmmmmm.... no.
Have a great visit with your Mom - cool that you have real flowers, that is my favorite part about having company - I get flowers for practically every room!!!!
Have fun with your Mom! It certainly sounds like you will, what with all that fun stuff you get to do!
How lucky are you that you get to live somewhere with enough snow for a Ski team!!! It will be there soon!
How is Daisy's going? Z has the Daisy Nazi as a troop leader, any openings in Grace's troop? Maybe we can commute!
Have fun with your mom. :o)
Amazing Race was hilarious. Seriously, she seriously thought she got the plane. Hope she watches it now and realizes she's an idiot. I like the brother & sister too.
OH I do miss those potato pancakes from the "pig"!!
Yes, after working in the airport on the rock, I can definately say that had that woman showed up in front of me I would not have changed planes for her. In fact, I would have found some reason to make her life a little less happy. I'm sure when she went through security I could have found at least one thing to confiscate. I don't know who annoys me worse...her because she is who she is or him because he would have anything to do with her. Ughh. I'm glad sissy whiner guy is gone though. And what a pushover she was.
So, it sounds like you have lots fo fun planned for when your mom is there. Is the duck coming or going?? You'll have to fill us in on the details.
That stinks about the Daisy's, but I would trade the Daisy's for a ski team ANY day.
I'll be sure to mail you a compimentary box of cookies when the Nazi makes us sell them!
What's the duck thing Laurie is talking about?
