Well it's Monday...here we go again! I'm actually looking forward to this week...I'm basically in my last week of school! Test tonight, exam tomorrow night, then exam next Monday! My wonderful sociology teacher is letting us email our research paper and the answers to our final! So even though I have to work on that stuff, I dont technically have class! LOVE IT!
Speaking of research paper, I had to change my topic. I couldnt find "scholarly" references on the SAHM/working mothers topic. Thanks to my bf Candice, I'm now doing the importance of family time at the dinner table! I've found countless references on that so I'm good to go!
As far as the weekend goes, nothing special. I did go downtown to Hooters with some gals for my friends bach party....love me some hotwings! Sunday I got some stuff done around the house, worked on my paper, and went to my sister-in-laws bday cookout. That was about it!

Story of my life!
I am having such a hard time with this research paper! I thought I had my topic all ready, but I am having no luck with references. They have to be "scholarly" references, which throws a wrench in the whole system! So now it looks like I'm going to need to find a new topic....a week before my paper is due. Why do I always do this to myself?! NEVER FAILS! So if any of you gals have a great research topic, then please let me know!! I'm up for suggestions!
Anyways, if nothing else, might as well get a good nights sleep!
Anyways, if nothing else, might as well get a good nights sleep!
Happy Friday!!
Mornin' everyone! It's Friday and I am sooo happy! I really thought this week would never end, but here we are! Now, if I were to say that to my dad, he would say "Candice...don't wish your life away." He's so wise haha! But sometimes I just can't help it...I work and live for the weekends!
Not much going on this weekend though. Tonight I'm going to run to Baby Time to check out their new shoes and clothes. My mom got Presley the cutest pair of Sun San sandals from there. She also got her a different brand in white, but I'm not a fan, so we're taking those back! Oh and they have the cutest clothes there, too. She got her this one outfit from Beary Basics and it's so stinkin' precious! It was about $60 and it would be sooo easy to make...well for my mom, not me! So she bought some different patterns and found a site where you can get all the cute fabrics! So sorry Baby Time...we won't be purchasing any future outfits from there when we can make them for about $5!
Other than that, it's mainly study time for Candice! I have two test next week and two maps due...and needless to say, I STILL haven't started on my research paper! But I am going to have to be disciplined this weekend...I need to just suck it up! It's just so hard bc I always have so much going on. I'm suppose to go to a shower tomorrow, then I'm going downtown for dinner for a friends bach. party. Sunday Clinton and I are finally joining Ellendale Baptist! Don't ask whats been taking us so long bc I have no idea! Then Ill finish the weekend celebrating my sister-in-laws bday! Now you see why I have such a hard time getting things done...I try to do to much at one time.
Well that's about all...have a great weekend!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that
Here are a few picture frames that I've done...just a little something I enjoy doing for fun. I might eventually try to sell them, but for right now it's just something I do while watching a little TV!
Easter Weekend!
So it was a very busy weekend for Presley! I took off work on Good Friday so I could enjoy some time with Presley and my mom. We had intended on running a few errands and heading to the zoo, but it was kinda cold and raining. So we shopped all day instead! Works for me! While we were at the mall, we decided to take her on a carousel ride for her first time, too. Every time the horse went up she would go "ahhhhh!" It was so precious!
Saturday was such a gorgeous day! We started off with Presley's first Easter Egg Hunt! It was really cute...they had it in the town square of Arlington! It was divided up in different sections, according to age. It was so much fun! She couldnt quite grasp putting the eggs in the basket though...it was much more fun taking them out and chewing on them!
Afterwards, we finally made it to the zoo! It was Presleys first time and she loved it! She loves to people watch more than anything...just like her daddy! I love it, too, but I'm usually too busy in "Candy Land" to notice what everyone else is doing. But we did have a great time...she LOVED the monkeys! Now that shes gets from her mama! When we got back to my mom's house, we took some pics of her outside..it was too pretty of a day not to:)
On Easter morning we woke up to see what the Easter Bunny brought her! She got a movie, a bug catcher, a wooden toy that I (um I mean the Easter Bunny) painted for her, some peeps, bunny ears, and a wooden cross that says " Every good and perfect gift is from above" James 1:17...can't be any more true!! After that, we went to church with Clinton's family...AMAZING service! (By the way, if you live in the Memphis area and are looking for a church home, Faith Baptist is wonderful! Clinton was raised at that church, and I visited there for a while. But now we attend Ellendale Baptist which is sooo amazing, too! Either one, you can't lose!)
Anyways, here are some pics from the weekend...enjoy!

Almost there!
Ok I never get on her just to write about my day or whatever. I realize that's what its for, but I just use it to post pictures of Presley for my family to see. But I've had a burst of excitement because I just realized that I only have THREE weeks left of class! Actually in 2 of my classes, I only have 2 weeks! THANK GOD! It had been much harder going to school, working, and being a mom, than I thought it would be. And its really not the "going to class 3 nights a week" thats killing me...its all the work outside of class! I mean, why can't I just go to school, learn a few things, and be done with it?! I dont need papers, maps, tests....I mean, what are they thinking?! But on a positive note, I went to sociology class last night and got my test back...103! AND she canceled our last paper so we could focus more on our research paper! My topic...The battle b/t working mothers and stay-at-moms. I even sent out a survey to all my friends that fall in each category...surprisingly only like 6 responded to it, and only 2 of those were a SAHM...so I'm hoping this weekend some others will take the time to respond to it:)
Anyways, I have already been making a list of allll the things I want to do during my 3 months of bliss this summer...well not really bliss, bc I still have to work. I have lots of projects I want to do around the house, crafts, etc. Also, me and one of my bf's Leigh Anne have decided to start a little "business" and we have a lot to get done this summer! But I think I'm most excited about doing things with Presley and Clinton...taking her to the zoo, the sprinkler park, or heck just the park in general! I'm just ready for some family time with her and Clinton!
Well I have a busy weekend ahead...tonight me and my sis-in-law are taking the babies to eat. Then tomorrow Presley has two birthday parties to go to! One is our friends/neighbors little boy, Joseph, is having his party at Pump It Up. After that, we're heading to MS for Ava's second birthday! Shes the daughter of one of my other bf's Kelly! I can't wait to see them!! We're going to stay the night so we can have some more time with them. Then Sunday I have to go to my aunts for my grandmothers birthday! It's always something, but I love it!
