It’s time to blab – I have nothing better to do at the moment so I will get it in now.
It’s been a nice, relaxing weekend, with all my kids home. We’ve eaten some yummy meals, had ice cream desserts, shot hoops, played baseball, watched movies, and been entertained with some music (my boys in their band played) while the hubby and I kicked back, watched and listened. Nothing better…
Last week we made a huge purchase – we finally broke down and bought our two college sons a car as they will need it this summer where they are living in Amherst, MA. Here is a pic of the two with their Audi…
Tony and Nick
I head off to NYC in a couple of days – Yay!!! I’m really excited to be attending the Writer’s Digest Book BEA Conference, should be great and I will fill you in when I return…
Until next time…Have a groovy weekend!

and it is awesome!!! I am so excited, and proud! Mom Writer’s Literary Magazine is IN my hands today in print! You are all going to love it – honestly :) The 6,000 copies will be going out in June so order your subscription today! Janet Evanovich looks lovely on the cover :)
So, my son, Tony, at UMASS has one week left to go (finals week – yikes!). I have been thinking about him the past few days at 2 in the morning when I can’t sleep – that is my worry time – 2am, 3am and sometimes even 5am. I don’t just worry about Tony. I have 5 kids remember? It is constant, take your pick on what kid I am worrying about on what night. Anyways, good luck Tony with your finals – your mom is thinking about you :)
Well last week I mentioned the middle school spring concert and the Battle of the Bands for Phillip and Joseph right? I am one proud mama. Joseph did awesome in the spring concert (and he was sicker than a dog that night with some tummy thing). He was rockin’ the crowd for sure. Then long story on the Battle of the Bands night – let’s just say we all know who the real 1st place winners were :) My guys band came in 2nd place and that is only because the 4th grader who was one of the members of the other little kids band had both his parents as judges – GO FIGURE. Here is a pic from Battle of the Bands evening – Rock on boys! They were SO good!
Oh, and this I’ve just got to show off – here is my son Nick and his friend Jen (she’s a doll) :)
Now if I could only get a pic of Tony with someone…:)
Until next week – enjoy!

Yes siree. Not lazy days of summer, lazy days of spring. I have so much on my to do list, however, I don’t feel like doing a damn thing today. Ever have that feeling?
What else is new…? Oh yea, on Thursday night my youngest son’s school will have its spring concert and my guy will be performing in two of the middle school songs playing the bass guitar and the piano. Should be fun and is always a treat. Then on Friday night our hometown has its Battle of the Bands and my two younger guys (Phil 15 and J 12) will be performing with their band Vitamin Z. I know, I know, where do they come up with these names? I’m looking forward to that – should be nice and loud. Then on Saturday my son Phil has a JV baseball game (let’s hope for decent weather) and then on Sunday I am on the road all day as we trek to Connecticut (UCONN) to pick up our son Nick from college. He has all his final exams this week, poor baby. That is such a stressful time. So, no relaxation in site for me this week unfortunately. What’s new?
Guess I’d better get back to work. I’ll try to post pics from the spring concert or the Battle of the Bands next week. Rock on!
Toodles, pj
