OMG! Grey’s Anatomy was SO crazy last night. I don’t even know where to begin!! Let’s take this by couple I suppose…

Der/Addison–Priceless when Addison realized her assumption that they were sleeping together was not true and that he was extremely jealous of McVet and still loved Mer!! And then her outburst being heard by the entire staff including Mer. Didn’t you love Mer going back and forth not sure where to go??

Der/Mer–You could have cut that tension in the elevator with a spoon. Apparently they say that scene used to have words and Patrick Dempsey wanted to cut them out. Good call, dude. That rocked. And Mer saying she still loved him to McVet and totally not talking about the dog! I loved it!

Cristina/Burke–O.M.G. Burke got shot. I literally gasped and threw my hand over my mouth when I saw Burke lying there shot. I’m thinking her and Burke get over their tiff after this. They can not let Burke die. I know they won’t and they can’t and they better not. And as one poster pointed out, how come Burke was not on the ground instead of the roof where helicopters normally land?

George/Callie–Lovin’ George telling Callie off and takin up for Mer. And I ALMOST started liking Callie when she showed Mer the x-rays. Still don’t like her with George, but sorta liked her as a person. Almost.

Denny/Izzie–Awww. I can’t stand it. I literally cried when Izzie told him why did you make me love you? And WHAT IS SHE THINKING! She cut. Denny’s. cord. Why would she do that. And now Burke is shot and what is going to happen to Denny? And why didn’t George make her stop? Why didn’t Denny have some sort of last minute change of mind and say hey, you’re fixing to kill me, stop it! Denny must not die and they must not make me wait 6 months to find out if he is alive or not.

Ugh! I am so glad the end is tonight and not next Sunday!

What are those stages of grief? Shock, something, something, anger, something, something, acceptance. I think I’m moving into acceptance. It’s taken a whole 17 hours. Ok, being a little dramatic. Sort of. I do realize this is a good thing for him seeing that he won’t owe AI anything except some time to put his record out. But, dern, he didn’t deserve to go now! I feel a little comforted by the fact that message boards blew up everywhere last night after the show with everyone complaining he was kicked off. It’s not my partial-ness to him that is blinding me. He really didn’t deserve to go yet. I know he will have no trouble finding work but I hope he doesn’t take a job with a band like Fuel or Creed. It just doesn’t seem right. And you know what the weird thing is? I don’t even listen to his type of music. I listened to some of his stuff from Absent Element and actually didn’t get through it because I didn’t like it so much. I really hope he makes an album that I like because I love to hear him sing. I was SO looking forward to the week that he got to pick his own song and the judges picked him a song. I thought he would really shine because it would be very close to the real world.

And what was up with the request for Taylor to do his song again. I mean, is that allowed? That was so unfair to the rest of the contestants and it was just weird.

OK, enough about Chris and AI. I do have other things in my life besides AI (repeating to self).

Supposedly Scott took the kids mother’s day shopping this morning. Not sure how that went except he said she didn’t last long enough. Which sounds like he either bought something out of being rushed or didn’t buy anything at all.

I’m at work today. I am STILL stuffed from my Flo’s Filet at Longhorn. Gosh, I love that steak and fries and salad and bread. Yeah. I’m full. That won’t stop the 3:00 coffee run to Starbuck’s though.

I need a show for Thursday nights and I was told today that The Office is good. And since Jaynee raves about it, I think I may check it out.

Folks, please take a minute to mourn this horrible moment in American Idol history. This is AWFUL. I am still in shock. I think the neighbors heard me scream my wretched NOOO!! when the news was announced. Ryan’s announcement was sort of drowned out for a second and it took me a minute to completely understand what he was saying. I could not believe it. And neither could Chris apparently. I knew the dialidol stats and yet I denied that everywhere I turned, they were saying Chris was leaving. Paula was devastated–ok, so Paula could be devastated over much less but that’s not the point. Simon even looked ticked–ok, so Simon always looks ticked but that’s not the point either. The point, the point is that CHRIS GOT VOTED OFF. UGH!!!!

Ack, dialidol has Chris at the BOTTOM of last night. I got in 349 votes for him and tried to call from our second line but never got through. I thought that was good. But maybe not. And dialidol had an issue with getting numbers mixed up possibly from last week so ugh. Maybe wrong votes went to wrong people. Thoughts for last night:

Taylor: I was REALLY scared last night would be cheesy when I saw the song Jailhouse Rock. But Taylor was REALLY good. I didn’t think it was karoke-ish. His second song ended way too soon. It was so good I wanted him to sing more!

Chris: Ahhh. The guy is hot. I enjoyed that first song better than the second. He sounded great on both but I think if he would have just smiled at least on the second one instead of doing the whole staring flirting thing, it would have been more appropriate for the song. And the last note of the second was a little…off. So although I enjoyed both immensely, it just didn’t seem to have much personality and spunk as Taylor’s performances.

Katharine: They were both awful. She must go home.

Elliott: He came out fighting and he did a GREAT job. I’ll be disappointed if he goes tonight.

MJ’s blog posted AI song spoilers

Elliott Yamin: “Trouble” and “If I Can Dream”

Chris Daughtry: “A Little Less Conversation” and “Suspicious Minds”

Taylor Hicks: “In the Ghetto” and “Jailhouse Rock”

Katherine McPhee: “Hound Dog/All Shook Up” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”

VERY excited about Chris doing Suspicious Minds. I wanted someone to do that! A little concerned about Jailhouse Rock and Hound Dog and their possible cheese factor. Taylor can probably pull it off but not sure about Kat.

So Scott and I went to church last night while MIL watched the kids. There was a group Hope’s Call there to sing. They also presented Companion International which helps poor kids around the world. We ended up sponsoring one. He is a year older than Emma and we are calling him Alex although his name is four names long, two of which I can not pronounce. His first is Ariel although that might be confusing given the whole Disney Princess Ariel. His second name is Alexander and since Alex reminds me of Lexi, we just decided on Alex. Emma drew him like 4 pictures last night and I wrote a letter to him. We haven’t even gotten his address yet but I’m truly excited about it. It is like the girls’ big brother. So, if we get any updates, I’ll have to tell you about them.

Emma is off to school this morning. Scott had a meeting at the church. I am still in my robe. I could have slept until 9 or 9:30 easy this morning. I went to bed with a headache and nauseous last night. No, I’m not preggo.

So Desperate Housewives was INSANO last night. I’m not sure if Desperate is quite the word for all the junk that happened last night. It does make for some good drama to watch though.

And Grey’s Anatomy!! Ah, I love that show. So Derek is assuming a little too much about Meredith and although his assumptions about how many men she has slept with is correct, it seemed a little unfair seeing that she HADN’T slept with McVet. And is it just me or am I the only one surprised that they HADN’T slept together. OK, so maybe Derek had a right to assume that. Anyway, so I guess since next week starts the season finale they are leaving the Mer-Der thing “over with” for the season. Which didn’t they sort of do that last season finale when the wife-y showed up? Poor Izzie. Poor Denny. I don’t see good things happening for them at the season finale. I’m pretty sure he gets his heart but I can’t imagine he would make a full recovery by season finale end. So, he either dies or we don’t really get to see them together. Alex was awesome last night. I’m starting to like him more. I really liked Cristina “cheery”. She was much more pleasant to be around and I always like her dancing. But Burke seemed to take the whole falling asleep thing pretty hard. It must be that everything is coming to a head with him and putting up with her because he seemed pretty upset for just that.

What else is coming up? I’ve got bible study tonight, an orthodontist appt tomorrow to get my mold for the bottom retainer and probably will go into work on Thursday. I think that’s about it for the highlights of my week. Hopefully the gym will fit in there several times.

Finishing up cleaning for today. Only thing left on normal cleaning schedule is the vacuuming. Lexi is asleep right now so I have to wait. I really need to do some organizing and “deep” cleaning but now I’m hesitant to get into anything since she will probably be up soon. So I’m writing this instead!

Last night we went to Moe’s to eat. Coincidentally it was Cinco de Mayo and we got a free t-shirt. We took the girls to the mall to let them play in their play area and get some energy out. Emma and Lexi were so cute together. If Emma couldn’t find Lexi, she would run over and say Where’s my sissy?! One time we caught Lexi looking for Emma and when she found her over by us, she ran over, gave Emma a hug and started patting her on her back. Lexi does love her big sister! And Emma is miss mother hen to her little sister. When we got home we re-arranged our living room. It may be temporary because I think I like it the other way better but we both have been dying to do it for months. At least it’s a little change. I’m really in the mood to start moving things around. Even the decorations or something. I’m home so much that I need a change of scenery every once in awhile.

Today is Fest-i-fun, our local spring festival. I took the girls early this morning and stayed for almost 2 hours. I was very proud of myself since I was the only one with them. We had fun riding on the train together and another ride. We got Emma’s face painted a listened to some of the elementary school choruses sing. We left when Lexi got antsy and I was broke–those fair rides were expensive when we had all 3 of us riding on them! Emma ended up going back over there with MIL. She should be good and tired when she gets home. I really hope she gets a nap because she was really needing one yesterday. I’m actually glad she slept at home last night so we could make sure she got to sleep a little early.

In other very exciting news, my retainer broke this morning. It kept hurting when I put it in and lo and behold I was trying to stick a broken wire that was sticking out into my gums. Which is not good. Because the top one they are making me is $300 and now they are going to have to make me a bottom one. And really, I’m more upset that I was actually wearing the dern thing and now I won’t be able to get another for a few weeks I bet. Oh, and I think when and if I get my teeth back straight, I’m going to get the Zoom whitening done. A dr around here has a special for new patients for $450. If we sell our Jeep, we could swing that.

Tonight is the first night I completely enjoyed Elliott. That song Home I love and I thought he did a good job with it. Not everyone thinks so apparently, but I really liked it. And I’m not alone because he ended up in the #2 spot on dialidol stats tonight. My guess was and is Paris is goin’ home tomorrow night. I was a little disappointed with Chris tonight. I think his voice hurt him and took away from the song unfortunately. I need to rewatch the first part of the show because I missed it since I was a little late from dinner. Which by the way went very well. I think I sort of talked her head off. I realized halfway through the dinner I was talking. A lot. And I could have talked for like 4 more hours. No lie. I really need some girl talk! Put it this way, until the grocery store this afternoon and dinner tonight with her, I haven’t been anywhere outside of the house or van since Sunday morning for church and lunch. Yeah. That’s the bad part about working from home. You don’t get out much. Anyway, so dinner went really well. We talked I think 99% about our upcoming reunion. I think we’re both nervous and worried we will revert to our shy selves (is that a word?) and not really know how to act around everyone. I don’t know. I was fine at the reunion meeting the other night so I’m not quite as nervous.

I have a orthodontist appt in the morning. Yeah, haven’t said that for about, oh, 10 years. My teeth have really moved since getting my braces off in 1996. Which by the way did not come off before senior pictures which really did and does make me mad. Because guess why? They are going to make us wear nametags with our senior yearbook picture on them. So yeah, I knew there was a reason I HAD to have them off! At least they were the clear kind and not the metal kind! ANYWAY, I feel like I’m on speed or something like I just need to rattle. I NEED SOME GIRL TALK! So I’m taking my retainers tomorrow–yes I still have them and no they don’t fit anymore–and seeing if they can use them. I really would like to get a permanent retainer on the inside of my bottom teeth so I don’t have to worry about it. I just don’t really want to go through all that pain again. The last thing I want him to say is I need braces again. Won’t do that again! I hear they have gotten pretty good at that stuff though. I think people wear them for like 9 months now or something.

So my bible study is going really good. I was literally in tears the other night during my homework session it was hitting home so well. I really recommend it to any female. It is a great study and I think would be really good with a small group of women that really trusted one another. I really hope I will take something from it. (Beth Moore’s When Godly People Do Ungodly Things)

Project at work is back on track. Or at least half of it. At least I have something to do for now.

What else?

I think Lexi is addicted to tv. I determined this morning I wasn’t going to let her watch so much and she was literally banging on the tv screen for me to cut it on. Yesterday she brought me the remote in the bathroom WHILE I was USING the bathroom for me to turn the tv on. She was cranky today which is probably a result of all this. Hopefully I can resolve to cut out more tv.

Emma has been so sweet lately. She’s acting so grown up. Tonight I was laying in bed with her while I was putting her to sleep and she says in her cute little voice and lisp, Actually…actually, I have a question for you. I’m trying to think what she asked me but I can’t remember. She said two things. Something and if I could pray for angels. Almost every night since the first night we did that Emma has asked me to pray for angels. I ask for them to help her get to sleep, keep her warm, keep her in bed, keep her safe and help her not to be scared. Yes, I know some of those things are sort of random to be asking of angels specifically but basically those are the things I want from her and she has not much control over while she is asleep so I was hoping some angels could help a tired mommy out. But if I miss any of those things on the list, she reminds me. Tonight I said amen and she says you forgot to say help me to get to sleep. So I have to do a “prayer addendum” and ask for that. LOL.
