Wow! What a weekend. So on Friday, Mike went to the Dr. at 8:05 a.m. What a shocker He had an outter ear infection. I have never heard of such a thing. His ear looked like Will Smith's ear in Hitch when he had the allergic reaction!!! Well maybe not that big, but it was swollen. So he was home for the day. I think the last time I have seen him so sick was when he was 35 and caught the chicken pox from the kids! Not pretty!!! Toby went the Air Show at the airport with his friend. They ended up spending the whole weekend out there. Ate a lot of junk and got a lot of sun. Had a blast!

So off and on all evening Terra would call she was on the road from Nashville to Little Rick. So we would check the radar for her because she was right in the middle of all the bad weather that was happening that direction. You can read her play by play. Believe me she will tell it much better than I can - www.terrastune.blogspot.com

Saturday was CRAZYYY!!!. I got up and started cleaning house, like I do everyday, talked to Terra, she left the hotel in Arkadelphia Arkansas. Can you just imagine how they came up with that name? I mean just hear in it in your mind. That strong slow southern accent........Ark-a-del-phia! Okay back on track!...Woke up Tessa! It is PROM day. So she had a hair appointment at 1:00 at the mall. At the mall she gets her hair done up in a true southern bell updo! The hair dresser only used 120 bobby pins, So I get a call from MOM, dad is out hunting Wild Hogs, no, really actual pigs that live in the wild, and she is bored. So she heads to the mall. We meet up and have some movie theater pop corn with we watch the show, the one at the hair salon. Then we get a call from Terra she is almost to Temple and is going to meet us at the mall.

Terra catches up with us. Tessa finishes with the "do", and off we go back home to begin the ritual of the nails, jewelry, makeup and dressing. During this time Travis moves back in to the house from the Dorm and with Travis comes a lot of dirty clothes and a revolving door for all of his friends. 3 hours later we meet up with the other Prom queens and their mothers. Take about a million pictures. Tessa and friends go to the prom and Terra and I head out at 9:00 p.m. to the church to begin preparation for the lunch I have to cater at noon on Sunday!

Sunday went well. I was at the church by 8a.m. Was ready to go by 7 because I had to paint a pair of Salt and Pepper shakers for someone by 9:00 a.m. Needless to say Mike ended having to go into work (swollen ear and all) so they didn't get delivered. Oh Well. tommorrow is another day. Thank goodness!

The lunch went well. The menu was Baked chicken breast with a creamed celery gravy (got rave review!) or ham with spiced glaze, bacon/onion seasoned green beans and loaded baked potatoes and hot rolls(wheat, of course) and for desert I served Homemade peach cobbler and Chocolate chip cake. We actually ended up with more people than they expected but we had just the right amount of food.

So hear I am, Monday morning, Terra just drove out of the drive way headed to Corpus Christi, and Andrew (a.k.a. Lover Lips) and Tessa and Toby went to school. Travis is still in bed and Mike is back at work. I think my problem is that things are in such chaos I am not sure where to start! I think I will start with breakfast!!!

Can you believe that there is an Arkadelphia, Alabama, too?

Surprised me and Arkadelphia, Arkansas is "almost" home to me. I grew up out in the country, five miles from Arkadelphia.
