Pool night

Every Tuesday Brian plays pool. I usually go with him to cheer him on. Tonight I am sitting at Chief's Bar & Grill in LeRoy Illinois, our home bar. I always look forward to seeing how the guys do. Tonight's team is Mop, Brian, James & Leo. They are playing against a team from up north. 

Nothing like a good, cold vodka and red bull while watching the guys play pool. 

I love watching Brian play pool. It's fun to see how much they like to hit balls around. 

Well until later my loves.....

One of those days....

L-R -- Austin (11), Autumn (8), and Cody (14)

It's days like these that make me love my family even more!! My son, Austin, informed me that I was "the coolest mom ever" for taking him to see Hello Destroyer on Friday. My son, Cody, told me that while I embarrass him in front of girls, he's glad I am his mom cuz the other kids think I'm cool. And my daughter, Autumn.... Well.. today... she came over to me, grabbed my hand, kissed my cheek and says "Mommy, I loves you!" I Love days like these...

We spent our Easter weekend hanging with friends and those in the extended family. You know, we all have them... friends that have been through more with us that our own family... friends of our children that might as well be ours because they're here more than I am. 

My wonderful husband got me the most adorable card ever!! It says,

"For the one I love at Easter and always,

The world becomes so beautiful when spring is in the air, and Easter brings God's promise that I'm grateful that we share. but any time of year, I know whatever life may bring, I'll always need your love and you, to me, you're everything... Happy Easter Love, Brian"

I have never cried before after getting a card.. so let me tell you this.. even though I'm a cold hearted bitch most days.. I do have a heart and LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

Well, time to get the kids ready for bed and school in the morning... Love to all XOXO
