Spring Break/Sprint (yuck)

Spring Break is here...and Lauren is quite happy about that!! She was supposed to have softball practice last night, but it got rained out...no shock there considering there was over 2 inches of rain:) She got a bat and her shoes, my grandmother took her out on Sunday to pick them up, and she is pretty proud of them:) Lot of pink. I remember the only option I had for shoes was black & white..now there are all kinds of crazy color combos!! But, she is happy, so that's what matters I suppose.
My niece (I love her to death, but it aggrivated me none the less) drooled on my phone and now I can't hear anything out of it!! The earpiece sounds muffled, and it's quite frustrating. And when I'm on speaker, nobody can understand me. SO...I try to reach sprint today, and their customer service is something less than excellent!! We have a rep through work who is trying to sort things out for me, so hopefully she can get me some good news:) Cross your fingers!!
My little brother (such a god send when it comes to my car) has been my handy man/mechanic whatever you call it for awhile now. Considering he is much cheaper than an auto shop...buy the supplies and cook him dinner and he'll take care of it for me!! SO...the other morning I found out my left brake light/turn signal is out...and Travis is going to take care of it for me this evening...after changing my oil last week!!! (and my old green car)
Hope you have a Happy Easter!!!

Hi this is lauren i got signed up for softball finally!!!! and that is the first sport that i have played since i was about three or four years old and i did gymnastics then and i learned how to walk up a wall do a front flip and back flip on the bars and jumped in the foam pool alot! and shortly after that i did ballet and swimming classes but when it was the day that we were going to compete and win the gold medal or gold trophy or what ever no one was there! not even the coach! and i was so upset all that practicing and hard work and doing my best for nothing! i was so bummed! and now i am in softball and the name of my team is the petties . in know right? kind of weird. but any way my cousin is on my team and her name is kayla and we are going to have the best time!!!! we had practice last monday but they cancled that because no one was going to go and i did not like that and now we have real practice on monday and it is going to snow tomorrow and saturday and i hope it does not snow on monday because then i would be super duper wuper bummed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wouldnt you? but anyway check out my blog at www.thesmithworld.blogspot.com! see u there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some new pics

Nothing too much...but it's been awhile!!!

Lauren has one month until the all district choir show, which had ought to be pretty impressive!! The choir from each school in the district will perform together, and then they get to go to Crown Center this month, so that's loads of fun for her!

Paybacks are HECK!!!

Now I know just how frustrated my mom got when my room was a horrid mess...because I'm living it. Lauren has had a fascination lately (and by lately, I mean all the time, everyday) with taking EVERYTHING out of her dresser, cabinet, shelves, you name it. It is all in the middle of the floor! Granted, it's just untidy...it's not dirty, but it's still driving me up the WALL!!! (and it's a short wall that I'm at the top of). Last night, Paula came over to take Lauren to play Bingo at her school. And before they left, Paula told her to pick up a bit. Way to go Paula!!! Unfortunately, they didn't win any prizes...but it sounds like they had a good time. They stayed until it was over at 9:00. They had snacks, and it was all free, so you just can't beat that!

Last week, I got a pretty frustrating call from the KS Real Estate Commission. My fingerprints for my background check couldn't be read by the KBI...so I got re-printed and sent them in. This was the third hang up in processing my KS license, so I was feeling pretty bummed. The lady told me they would expedite my re-prints...so we sent them off Tuesday of this week, and my license was back at my office yesterday!! THANK GOD!!! So I was ready to roll today and got to show a house in Basehor.
Nothing much new around our place. Lauren is growing like a weed (like a weed on steroids, I've never seen anything like this!!), and is nearly as tall as me!! We're gearing up for my little cousin's wedding, which means 4 trips to Columbia over the next month, but it's worth it!!
