Talk about one crazy weekend! I've been so busy that I haven't really been on much. While only on for Facebook. I have the FB app for my iPhone and I have like a but load of notifications for it.

I've also been busy cleaning house and picking up after a 2 year old. It seems once I clean not even 5 mins later it's dirty again. I can't tell you how many times I yell at my husband to take off his shoe (it drives me crazy)!! :lol:

I'm also going crazy planning a week full of things to do when my husbands mom and brothers gets here. Pulling out my hair because this is the first time anyone (besides my parents) are coming to our home. Not sure what to do here. I think this is where all my stress is coming from.

Then to top it all off my husband was brought to the ER on Sunday. Everything is fine with him, he just doesn't listen when I tell him he NEEDS to drink water. He's okay and now he has been drink lots of water.

So how has your weekend? I hope better than mine. :) ]]> Chicky Chat ChristinThomas http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?39189-How-was-your-weekend Such a proud mamma! http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?39186-Such-a-proud-mamma!&goto=newpost Tue, 15 May 2012 12:48:42 GMT Check it out, you guys, my first baby graduated college!

I went to Kansas this last weekend to watch him graduate, and I could NOT be more proud. I know pride is a sin, but.. I guess I have to have a talk with the big guy in the sky, because I do not intend to stop being proud of my big kid. I brought his little baby brother with me to see him graduate, and we met my parents there. I don't see my folks often, as they are on the opposite coast, but I got a little taste of just how hilarious (and occasionally infuriating lol) they are. I also met my son's girlfriend's parents, and I love them, too! They are Mennonite, and I didn't know what that really meant, but it turns out it means that they are Christian and very socially progressive kinda hippie people, so we had a whole ton in common.

Anyway, it was an awesome whirlwind of a weekend! Oh and turns out little Walt is an awesome traveler! All he needs is a plastic cup and some cheerios, and he is content for a couple hours in the air.

And now... I have a whole bunch of catching up to do!!! ]]> Chicky Chat mrsaboyer http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?39186-Such-a-proud-mamma!

I have a first generation iPod Touch (no camera) to feed my WiFi web browsing, etc.

For Mother's Day, DH got me a new 8G iPod Touch. So sweet and I'm dying to rip the sucker open! But part of me is wondering if I should take it back and wait until July when it's time on my contract to trade up for a new phone and just get the iPhone 4s instead. Part of me wants to play RIGHT NOW with my new toy, and I am also considering the cost of adding another data plan to our account and thinking it would be a better option.

So help me weigh the options of having an iPod Touch now vs an iPhone 4s in 2 months. How much of your data plan do you actually use on the iPhone? I love the idea of it but if the iPod Touch is good enough and will do everything I need, then why wait and pay more, right? ]]> Chicky Chat Pamie http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?39155-What-would-you-do Sounds that Irks you? http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?39150-Sounds-that-Irks-you&goto=newpost Sun, 13 May 2012 03:02:25 GMT I am a really a patient person and things dont usually get to me quickly.

I'm in DESPERATE need of new clothes so I've been looking forward to this A LOT. Like literally every day I think about it and how it's gonna be so great to have a day out of town, without kids or hubby, with one of my friends and get new clothes that fit me.

About 30 minutes ago, my SIL called and invited us to our niece's baptism... on the exact same day. And they've scheduled group family pictures. My day is totally hijacked! :bawl: My hubby was fighting back giggles the whole time he was on the phone while I sat there, glaring at him. :curses: So I'm here, whining to you because he doesn't get it.

It is unlikely my friend will be able to get a free Saturday any time soon. I'm majorly bummed right now.

I'm NOT mad at my SIL. This is an important day for her daughter and it's important that family is there. I'm just annoyed that the ONE SINGLE day of the year I set aside FOR MYSELF to do something fun gets hijacked. I've seriously been counting down the days to this little trip. :drama: It's been YEARS since I had a day to myself without kids or hubby to do something for ME. ]]> Chicky Chat mturnidge15 http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?39140-*whine*-Yes-totally-selfish-here I want one of these!! http://www.thedigichick.com/forums/showthread.php?39139-I-want-one-of-these!!&goto=newpost Sat, 12 May 2012 17:07:13 GMT Check out this mixer on Pioneer Woman's blog - and she's doing a giveaway too!!
