Ursula with a White Sheet Background

I can't believe I forgot to upload this picture yesterday! Here's the story behind it: My sister, Angele, hung up her clothes on my gram's clothes line. This was a sheet. Well, Ursula just couldn't help herself from getting into it. I took this picture and think it came out so precious, if I do say so myself... and I do :D hehe

Wreck Update

Received a phone call from the young chic's insurance company. They finally got an adjuster out there to look at our car. Said it was indeed a total loss and wants to go over the details with Jeremy. I took the guy's name and number... hopefully, Jeremy will come straight home today because the guy is only in his office until 4:45 and Jeremy usually gets home @ 4:30.

Today is also Jeremy's birthday. So, I bathed, shaved, and washed my hair... maybe even apply a little make-up... yeah, I think I will. That'll make him feel special :D hehehe

Calista, Ursula, & Sophia on 3-5-05

Here's Calista, Ursula, and baby Sophia :D Taken March 5th, 2005.

Ursula & Sophia on 3-6-05

Here's Ursula with our youngest niece, Sophia. Ursula just LOVES this baby!!! Loves her soooo much!

Ursula & Olivia on 3-5-05

Cute picture of Ursula and Olivia. Olivia is 3½ mths older than Ursula. And by the time we left this past weekend, she was saying that Ursula was her friend... awwww.... it was so cute!

American Idol

OMG... can Paula get any more annoying??? Geez... all she does is paraphrases what Randy says ... soooo irritating. She needs to be replaced.

And yes, I am a Simon Cowell fan. I am pretty much in agreement with whatever he has to say.

For the guys, of course, I like the rockers, of course... but, I am also liking Anwar.

For the gals, don't really have a favorite yet.

Calista

She got her 6 wk report card in today.

She made all "S's" or "A's"... with the exception, again, of one "N" in 'obeys class rules'.

The teacher, Mrs. LaStrapes, made these comments: Talking too much. Calista is a very good student. Sometimes rushes her work.

This is the first time she's commented on her report card. I knew that Calista was rushing her work. I could tell by what she did at home. Jeremy told her next time she gets a "N" on her report card, he was gonna spank her.

Calista told me this little 'brown' chic dug through her bag while the teacher was out. That really irritates me. I only send cash to school. And, right now, they want lunch money. I don't need some little kid digging and stealing our money. That would piss me off royally. I sent a note to the teacher about that and also about Calista's missing navy sweatshirts (2 of them) and her missing navy zip-up sweatshirt.

Update

Well, we've had a rental car since Friday evening. Its a Ford Focus. Its okay. I mean, its better than what we've been driving for the past 5 yrs... but, not something we'd actually buy. We both want something bigger... either a bigger car or a van.

That chic's insurance company won't even look at our car until tomorrow! Which, btw, is Jeremy's 30th bday!

I just hope that we get the money to replace our car with something somewhat nicer... I'm not hoping for anything brand-new... but, maybe something that's less than 10 yrs old... hehehe

Extreme Cuteness Factor

Isn't she so cute? hehehe
When she came walking home from the bus, I told her to stop so I could get my camera and take her picture :D hehehe She looked so doggone adorable, I couldn't help myself :))

Calista on March 2nd, 2005

Calista from yesterday, March 2nd, 2005.
The weather is only in the early 60's... but Calista likes wearing her big coat. She asked if she looks like a president in it. I asked her if that's what some of the kids told her and she said 'yes'. So, I told her that was cool and to tell the kids to call her 'Ms. President'. hehe

Are We Just Cursed?

Can't believe this.

Jeremy was in a wreck today :( Totaled our only working vehicle!

He was going through a green light when a young girl on the opposite side of the road had a green light but not a green arrow. She proceeded to cross the road and Jeremy left over 40 ft of skid marks to try to not hit her. THEN, a truck hit Jeremy from behind!!! A company truck. The truck had no skid marks.

Can things get any better? :(

Recently

I started on my flower garden :D I am halfway done cleaning the weeds out of my flowerbed. Calista and I have already planted some sunflowers around that pole in our yard. We bought lots of flowers :D I hope they all do well!

Jeremy has his garden plot ready... just needs to plant his veggies.

Oh, Jeremy says he's doing really well at welding and his teacher is very impressed! woohoo! I'm so happy :) Maybe things are finally looking good for us!

And I feel awful :( All last week, I had Calista practicing the wrong spelling words! So, on Friday... she only got 2 out of 5 words right :(( I feel soooo terribly! See, every Monday the teacher sends out the news of the week including the spelling words... and I had left up the one from last week... I feel so terrible :( So, I'm making a very conscious effort to make sure I have her studying and practicing the right words! My poor girl. At least she knows how to spell fish and sun now though! hehe On the positive side, anyways.

Ursula! Once again, she fell asleep on her own in the living room! She asked for a pillow, covered herself with a blanket and fell asleep! It was sooo sweet! Of course, I took another pic :D
