American Idol....

-

I have watched American Idol from the very beginning. This year I thought I would blog about my thoughts on the contestants, and also give my opinion on "My Top Three" for each week.

Last night the top 12 guys sang songs of the 60's...which as many of you know "I LOVE". So Felt like I was in for a treat. There were some really great performances that came from these guys, and might I add, I was glad to see them bring a new age sound to these classic songs.

So here is the run down of "My Top Three Guys" of last night. (in no particular order)




David Archuleta 17 year Old form Murry, UT
David sang "Shop Around". I would like to say...Wow! He has a fresh sound, great stage presents and I think that all the teenage girls are going to be sure to vote this kid through. David has a very likable personality. With a positive out look on life and the vocal cord problem that troubled him a few years ago. You wouldn't guess it though. He has proven that he can work through even the hardest of things. I expect David will give us a consistent performance throughout the show and don't see him going any where any time soon.
Jason Castro 20 year old from Rockwall, TX
Jason Castro plays guitar and sings "What a Day for a Daydream" in a surprisingly entertaining Lovin' Spoonful/Arlo Guthrie kinda way. This dread locked guy is a breath of fresh air! The second he stared singing I knew that we would be watching him climb to top. His organic sound give you a through back to care free times and relaxes the sole. I expect great things from this one.

Robbie Carrico 26 year old from Melbourne, FL
Robbie sang Three Dog Night's "One". I think he did a great job on this song. He threw his attitude in to the song, thus making it his own. This guy used to sing POP in a boy/girl band and opened for Brittany Spears. You wouldn't think that if you have seen him on the show. Robbie is a rocker. So he has a "Dark Pop Past", I won't hold that against him. Robbie has a edgy sound and I can't wait to see what he will do in the up coming weeks.

The Girls are performing on Wednesday. Lets see what they have to offer.

Friday, March 23, 2012   I received a phone call from my oldest daughter Alana's Kindergarten teacher. Mrs Munos was concerned that Alana wasn't acting her bubbly self.  I had noticed that she seemed to have been sleeping a lot and wrote it off to the time change and just getting back from spring break. But now I had a little flag from her teacher.  I began to wonder if there was something wrong with her.  My first thought was depression.  So I sent her out on a Daddy Daughter date with my husband to see if it would boost her spirits. No such luck.  I've never heard of a child being so glum at the Kemah Boardwalk. But in fact, she hardly cracked a smile. Over the weekend Alana seemed to get worse.  She slept for a good part of church on my lap and I really began to worry.  Alana was eating like a teenage boy, drinking a ton of water and using the restroom several times an hour.  My husband, Chris, even thought she might have mono. ...

Hugs Jugs

We D-Mommas are always looking for low carb options for our kids.  While at Kroger yesterday, I felt compelled to check the carb counts on Little Hug Fruit Barrels.   I was very surprised to find that one Hug was only 2 grams of carbs and twenty count box is only $3! I was so excited that I bought two boxes.   When it came time to pick the girls up from school, the excitement was still flowing through my veins.  So I packed a few in my purse to give the girls in the car on the way home.   Results of the taste test were awesome.  Alana loves them.  Not to mention that they made her feel more like a normal kids.  Normal is great in my book.   I'm trilled that I no longer have to by different drinks for all the girls.  The price, taste and nutritional facts make Hugs a winner in our home.

All in the Family?

 This is one of the saddest posts I've had to write in some time... Two weeks ago I got a phone call from my brother in law, Brad.  He started the conversation with a little laugh and "I think your Alana has rubbed off on Reed" I was perplexed.  Oh no.  What did Alana do now?   "It looks like Reed is a type 1 diabetic too" I was floored.  I had just gone to Alana's school to give a talk on T1D, now we have another child in my husband's family who is insulin dependent. (My pancreas prop) Reed and Alana were born a year and two days apart. Reed had to go to the hospital in DKA on his tenth birthday.  It's the worst birthday present EVER!!! I felt hopeless and all I wanted to drop everything and fly out to Utah to help out.  But Alana was turning nine the next day and there was just no way I could make it happen.  So we scheduled to skype that night. While laying in his hospital bed, we talked to him, c...
