there's no place like home

I'm back.
I loved being with the kids and spending time with Corbin but I was sure ready to get back to warmer temperatures. It is WAY too cold up there. Now the count down begins. They are flying in for Christmas on the 17th. We have tons to do before they arrive.
Do you know my boys only ate at home once while I was gone. They ate out the rest of the time. Poor things. I made sloppy joes and tater tots for supper. Kenz is working so he'll have to warm his up. Also got a roast to cook one day this week.
Work was okay. I was productive. It was hard to get up early and go in; therefore, I intend to be in bed by 8 tonight.
Micheal took me to eat at Macaroni Grill after picking me up at the airport and when we got home surprised me with a new cd, watch and breast cancer pin for my birthday. He's such an awesome man! I love him so much.

it is now

I'm sad today knowing I have to leave tomorrow. I feel like I need to cram as much as possible into today, I'll probably stay up late. Oh well, maybe I'll sleep on the plane. Oh!! I hear him. Mimi better go change his dipey.

It hasn't quite sunk in yet

Corbin is 1 week old and I still don't feel like a grandma. I'm thinking that will come Sunday when I have to say goodbye. We've been busy doing every day things. We've gone to Target, the library and Panera Bread (can anyone say Cinnamon Crisp bagels??? Oh yeah!) Mostly just trying to get some sleep, though. Corbin has had some mix up of days and nights. Guess I need to get up and figure out what to make for supper.

Hefty

Corbin is 10 lbs 6.5 ozs and hasn't asked to borrow the car yet.....

Is Corbin Micheal here?

This is Micheal and yes he is......... We are now the proud owners of a grandson...
Corbin was born in the jacuzzi taking his first swim.. I'll post again after they measure and weigh and all that good stuff

testing

In the morning Micah goes in for a stress test and an ultrasound to make sure their is enough amniotic fluid.

i'm here, but Corbin isn't

Micheal and I drove to San Antonio Thursday after work. It was great to spend the time together. We got up Friday morning, had breakfast at IHOP and then off we went to the airport. We got there a little over an hour before my flight left and i still only just made it to my gate. Our goodbye was way too fast. The flight was fine, we had dinner and a movie. Cheese pizza, salad w/ olive oil vinaigrette and plain M&M's while we watched WALL-E. I had a long layover at the Newark airport so I indulged myself with a cheeseburger basket from Ruby's Diner at the bargain price of $13.68. At least the fries were crispy. I got it to go and plugged my portable dvd player into one of those tower thingy's and watched Step Up 2 the Streets until it was time to board the prop job to Baltimore. I hate those little prop jobs. I got in 30 min early but it was all good.
It has been bitterly cold here. Not sure I could live here long term.
I'm headed out to run and then we have to go to the library.
Corbin has yet to make an appearance. Micah has a non-stress test and an ultrasound to check her amniotic fluid levels.
More later...

My (Mackenzie's) senior prank

It has to be done every year, and every year it has to be better than the previous year. So in follow up to a terrible idea to let helium balloons go in the halls (gay) a couple friends of mine and I decided to do a smaller scale more mischevious senior prank. With all the connections I have for being a good student, I got the principals secretary to let us in his office. So at 8 pm on a thursday night 4 students and 1 staff member invaded the school with 12,000 post-it notes (literally). For the next hour and a half, we cover the principals office with post-it notes. So after a sleepless night with smiles on our faces, we meet in the parking lot the next morning waiting for the principal to greet us in front of the building. Walking as a 4 man wall we approach the school trying not to make our grins too obvious. All we get is a glare from the principal who has already checked the cameras and knows who it was. We text non-stop through first period trying to figure out how he is going to get us back, or if he is going to do anything at all. Finally the announcements come on in 2nd period, me and one other partner are in the same class and with open ears listen for Mr. Smith to say something...but nothing. After the pledge we sit down in confusion and start to think nothing will happen, but wait...the intercom comes back on and in front of the whole school our principal says "oh yeah i forgot one more announcement, there seems to be some post-it note bandits running around. It's 4 seniors so if any teachers know anything about this please call my office and let me know, thank you." We could barely sit still after this. All the teachers were going crazy trying to figure out who we were. There were emails being sent with pictures and rewards offered for anyone who knew anything about it. The whole school was trying to bust us, but we didnt tell a single person. Finally in 4th period im in the attendance office as Mr. Smith walks by and looks in the window at me, turns around, and heads for the door. He comes in and calls me into his office and tells me to sit down (in a chair covered in post-it notes). The plan was to call in a detective and a police officer and put my in handcuffs and bring in the other 3 to scare them. It couldnt have worked better. Mr. Smith makes another announcement, "I need 4 students to come to my office, I would have worte their names on a post-it note but i couldnt find one. Those students are, Mackenzie Mullins, Whitney Olness, Blake McCrackin and Kasey Lane." After walking in to the office and seeing me in handcuffs and on the verge of tears (it was hard to fake cry) Mr. Smith told 2 of the girls who played volleyball they could not play in their playoff-depending game that night because a box of confescated items went missing from his office (which we looked through and had all sorts of knives and bb guns in it...scary those things were found at school, but we didnt take it). So the girls were crying and the other guy was scared because hes salutatorian and thinks he will get suspended. So after sending the other 3 in the waiting area for a little bit they finally send me out to tell them we were kidding. The next day was the best fay ever, we just soaked up the glory from everyone, even peopel we didnt know complemented us, it could not have been a better prank!!! Seniors 09

She is having a lot of back pain could be back labor. We'll see. She sees the midwife (who's a man) tomorrow and is going to get him to strip her membranes again. I told her God has Corbin's birthday picked out. I'll be packing tomorrow night. I'm excited!!

Just got through reading blogs from my list.
Didn't take long.
I don't feel so bad now.
We're all too busy.
