taking it one day at a time

It took me awhile to gain the strength to get out of bed this morning , once I did arise and take a shower I felt just alittle better . After a few cups of hot cocoa I regained alittle voice . Today my son had to pick up his tux for his senior prom ! He tryed it on for me and wow I raised a pretty handsome young man . I cant wait til Saturday to see him get ready for real for his last high school dance . My , how time flies , it seems like only yesterday I was taking him to his kindergarten orientation .........speaking of which I took my youngest son to his kindergarten orientation this evening . He got to meet the teachers and ck out the classrooms . he seemed to really get into it and even made a couple new friends . Today marked the beginning of the end for one and the beginning of the future for the other . Travis will have plenty of advise for Chase at least .

Our very own dancing with the stars

As Ambre told in her blog a couple weeks ago we had a really cool fund raiser at our local high school . It was called Dancing with the Rutherford Stars . My friend Angie is the president of the booster club at the school and she decided we would do something different , something fun ! She asked me to help and together we came up with a list of "stars" and started asking (harassing) people until they agreed to participate . Now keep in mind it was a "fund raiser" , it all depended on who raised the most money . we laughed and cryed over and over at these practices watching the teams learn some kind of dance . Now, with the event being over for this year I can say we wee trial by error . Some teams put their whole hearts in learning their dance but didnt push for voters , other teams pounded the pavement collecting votes and didnt know how to dance worth a flip , and the grand prize winner did both ! My daughter and a friend from school were also dancers , they recieved their share of votes but went home without a trophy :( .( if it were a beauty contest she woulda won hands down , lol) we had Drs , lawyers , a state trooper , a few coaches , an 83 yr old grandfather , and several high school students paired off as teams and boy they all put on an awesome show . there were serious dances , cute dances and down right funny dances . it was an exciting , fun, crazy fund raiser and we cant wait til next year ! Hopefully we will have more interest next yr from everyone spreading the word about how good a time they had this yr.

Pizza on a stick

I found a cute summery recipe idea in a magazine the other day that I cooked for one of our lunch specials , its called pizza on a stick . using wooden kabob sticks , take slices of pepperoni , slices of onions , peppers ,cherry tomatoes , sausage balls , mushrooms and such add stab the crap outta them , lol ! wrap them in a thin layer of pizza dough and cook til bread done . before serving dump cheese over top and reheat to melt cheese . yummy yummy

*I didnt use tomatoes or mushrooms on mine and this picture was before I added the cheese*

okay this is a hoot !!!!! for some reason josh lucas pic has also decided to appear in this blog , can we say "super yummy" ?
