Swimming = Sleep, Right?
This was the scene Friday afternoon. We spent the day at the lake. We enjoyed some time on our friend's party barge. The kids wore themselves out jumping off the boat into the water and swimming. It was great fun to get away even if for only a day. It was a nice day, just warm enough to enjoy being in the water but not too miserable when you were out. I am so glad that we live close enough to a large body of water to get out and enjoy it when the time permits. The kids had a great time and I must admit that I did as well! Sleep was much needed in our home on Friday night!

The concert experience live and at home, with flames!
On Thursday night, Shelby enjoyed her very first concert thanks to Little Rock Family Living. Before we went to the show we had some great food prepared on a hibatchi grill by an talented young cook @ Kanpai Japanese Steakhouse.
Up first was the girl band, KSM. We missed a big part of their show because we were getting T-shirts ($30 - I am not even kidding!!!) for the girls and some sort of glow sticks with Demi's name ($10).
Speaking of good role models, The Jonas Brothers are right up there at the top of my list. I saw these guys on Larry King and they are very intelligent young men. I remember the crush I had on a certain "Joey Joe" from a little band some of you might remember called New Kids on The Block. As I watched this DVD, I was taken back to 5th grade when NKOTB came to Arkansas and EVERYONE in my class (or though it seemed) went to this show but me. I was devastated, but it was short lived, I'm sure. This DVD, The Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience is just like being at the Jonas Brother's Concert, only you get an all access backstage pass at what the guys are doing off stage as well. If you have a Blue Ray disk player, you're in luck, because the set comes with DVD glasses and you can enjoy the concert in 3-D from the comforts of your own non-crowded home! If you've got a "Jo-Bro" fan in your household, this is a must have!!!

I've Created a Monster!!!
Shelby loved being at the mall. She has not been in a long time and she proudly procclaimed as we left that "The mall is WAY more fun than Wal-Mart".
Every day since our venture she's asked if we were going to the mall today. So, what do you think? I believe that I might have created a monster, a shopping monster that is!
12 Rounds & Betrayed
Now available on DVD from MGM Home Entertainment: The Betrayed, starring Melissa George, Christian Campbell, Oded Fehr. If you've not seen this one, you're missing out! This is a great suspense thriller. Any mother will sit on the edge of her seat while watching this one. The decisions that Jamie Taylor has to make in this movie are gripping and will make you wonder yourself if what you would do if you were held captive and told you were to kill your husband in order to sacrifice your son's life. That is just what happens to her and as the events of this movie unfold, you will move closer and closer to the edge of your seat. Believe me, you'll be glad you watched this one!!
Also available from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment: 12 Rounds starring WWE Superstar Jon Cena as a New Orleans police officer. When Cena's character, Fisher stumbles upon a million dollar heist gone bad, he takes down a notorious Irish arms dealer. In the process, the bad guy's girlfriend gets killed. He vows revenge against the cop. When he is released from prison, 12 rounds of hell begin for Fisher who's wife is kidnapped by the notorious criminal. Fisher is put through a series of mental and physical challenges in order to proceed to the next round. If he makes it through all 12 rounds safely, he will be reunited with his kidnapped sweet heart. This is a good action movie. Jon Cena is great eye candy if nothing else. Unfortunately, it was a bit predictable to me, but there were some great action scenes including an exploding house. The DVD includes, the making of featurettes, deleted scenes, and the ever popular gag reel. Grab it today, from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment! All in all it's an entertaining event.

Hello Friends!
Just wanted to post a quick update to let you all know that I am alive and well. It is very unlike me to go so long without an update here at CrAzY Working Mom. We survived a wonderful extra long holiday weekend. I hope you did also.
I have lots of things that I need to post about, including but not limited to:
* Shelby's first concert experience: Demi Lovato with David Archuleta...dinner at a Japanese Steakhouse.
* Emily's first 4th of July including fireworks.
* Shelby's trip to the mall (I think I've created a monster).
* DVD Reviews including: 12 Rounds & The Betrayed., and much more in the coming days!
* Diet updates...well, there's really nothing to post about there. I have fallen off the wagon. I'm not doing any work outs and I'm eating horribly. There, I said it. I wish I could find some sort of magic fat burners to just melt away the pounds.
For now, I'm going to go join Emily in sleep. She is in her bed now, but this was a photo I took of her earlier today at the office while I was working, she was kicked back comfortably in her car seat, just living the life! I promise if you've e-mailed me, or asked me questions in comments that need answering, I will get to you eventually. Some day I will be caught up with everything including housework, phone calls, e-mails, blog reading, etc. Well, a girl can at least dream can't she?! Maybe some day when my children are grown?!

Your First Ammendment Rights Do Not Include Stupidity!
Let me explain for those of you who have not heard of this group of gay-hating, anti-war, small minded (so called) "Baptists" from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka Kansas. I refuse to link to them here but their domain name includes "godhatesfags". These people travel all over this great country, attending funerals of fallen soldiers. They carry signs that would make any red-blooded American's red blood boil! I cannot even imagine saying the things that these signs proclaim to anyone, much less to a mother after her son has given his life so I could stand on that street corner and protest!!! They protest at the funerals of fallen soldiers. Yes, you read that correctly! They protest at the funerals of fallen soldiers!! The thought of this makes my stomach turn. This has to be one of the best appetite suppressants ever. I can only imagine the pain that a family goes through after sacrificing a loved one in such an unselfish way. It is something that I have never experienced and pray every day that I never have to. 
I just can't understand where these people think that they are in the right. No matter how you feel about our country, our government, or our military what right does that give you to make an appearance at a funeral holding a sign that says that God hated that person so that their family could see. What makes anyone in their right mind think that God HATES anybody?! Aren't Christians supposed to LOVEstand and unite against such action everyone as GOD loved everyone?! As a country, I believe that we should ! There is a time and a place for everything. This is clearly not appropriate. Click this link and find out just how hateful these people are!!! This is an interview with Shirley Phelps-Roper as she protested at a funeral in Arlington National Cemetery. This woman spits pure hatred as she speaks about the impending doom of our nation and how this country is waiting to "vomit". We're all going to be running for the hills because we've called God a liar one too many times. Come on, woman p-uhlease?! Get your head out of the sand and get some love in your heart!America, no matter whether or not you support the war in Iraq, our president, or gay marriage surely you have a daughter, son, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, father, mother, neighbor, or friend who has served this great nation. What if you were attending their funeral and had to walk past signs that degraded them and rejoiced their death? It's unimaginable and should NOT be allowed. An anti-protest law needs to be upheld stating that NO ONE should be allowed to protest within boundaries of a funeral, first amendment or not! Let them go the steps of the US Capital, Congress, Supreme Court, or wherever else they feel the need to spit their venom, but keep them away from funerals. It's unnecessary and repulsive!
...and in my best Forrest Gump voice, "That's all I've got to say about that." :)
I'm putting away my soap box and going to bed now.

Since she's unable to snag a job at her favorite fashion magazine, Alette she settles for Successful Saving, a struggling financial magazine owned by the same publishing company where she quickly becomes "The Girl in the Green Scarf" and just so happens to catch the eye of her boss who turns out to be quite different than she expects.
