I couldn't come to work yesterday because I hurt my back.....oh the agony! (I'm sooo dramatic) Murf was making up all kinds of stories on air about how I did it. He said I fell off the trampoline while having fun with my boys or rearranging the house AGAIN....I wish it was that exciting. Actually, I tried to shovel. Yup, shovel. My doc said I over exerted my back muscles...meaning I'm not in shape enough to shovel :) The worst part...my husband telling me, "I told you so. You should of just let me do it and quit playing tough guy." Well, he was right and now I smell like a locker room with all of the muscle relaxing cream I have on!!

During today's show we called our Mom's and wished them a Happy Mother's Day.....and boy did they dish the dirt! Gov's mom, Lamecia, told us the story about Gov burning down the house while playing with matches when he was 10 yrs old. Murf's mom, Mike, told us the story about him stealing a car and running away from home to join the High School band......did I mention he was on 4yrs old!! Boy these two boys make me look like a saint...until my mom told the story about me stealing a police officer's horse. My mom's name is Jenny....here's a pic of her when she younger. We were living in California and my brother, Neil and I were riding a motorcycle up to the mountains....just a few blocks away from the home. On the way up to the mountains, I saw a pony eating flowers in someone front yard. A PONY IN THE MIDDLE OF CALIFORNIA!! How was I supposed to know the horse belonged to a police officer. I hopped on that pony...Pocahontas style....and told Neil to tell Mom I was bringing it home to keep. I rode the horse back to our house by holding on to its mane :) When I finally got home, kids were surrounding me. They thought I was the coolest kid ever!! My mom said, "NO DENISE! You can't keep the horse." She made me ride the horse back to the house where I found it....she followed me in the car. She knocked on the door and it turned out to be the owner...and a police officer. He was cool about the whole thing. He said the pony must of got out of the back yard. He said the pony never got any exercise or attention, so I could come ride him anytime I wanted. My mom took there a few times to ride the horse and then it was over. I wonder what ever happened to my little pony??

The Style Matters ladies from Rocky Mountain News were in today chatting about how to pamper MOM for this Mother's Day. One of my favorite lines they said was, "Ring of the month, what a brilliant idea. It's modeled after fruit of the month, but no calories." I think it's a great idea, but for this Mother's Day I asked just to do a little gardening in the front yard. It's one of my favorite hobbies and I really don't get a lot of time to do it. Oh yeah, I also want my feet rubbed :)

Today we talked to Laurie Quinn, "The Dream Lady".....she is amazing analyzing dreams! I told her about a dream my sister had about me. Stephanie had a dream that I adopted 7 kids and needed her to watch only one. That one child had sharp teeth and would bite and scratch her!! She was mad I gave her the mean child. Laurie said when you dream of sharp teeth, it means your worried about biting remarks....you said something mean or someone else did to you. Hmmmmm, has Steph been saying something naughty about me?? Nooooo, I know exactly what it is and who it is. :)

My son Austin has a big day today, it's the Grandparents tea at his school. Last year he wrote about my parents, this year he wrote a beautiful poem about Grandma Marilyn...my mother in law. She drove up from Greeley and is very excited to see him read the poem at school. You never know what that little stinker will say, but I know it will be sweet and funny :)

You've heard of Mona, now see Mona! I took this at soccer practice yesterday. She's in the pic, you figure out which one she is. Just incase you're new to KOSI, Mona is my nemesis. She has been torturing me for about a year now, it started at the pool. Listen to Murf and I from 5-9am to hear more of the story.

Saturday night was date night for Mike and I....kids were at a sleep over. We decided to go to a movie, first one I've seen in a loooooooonggg time without a chipmunk or duck in it! We decided to go for a comedy and saw "Baby's Mama" with Tina Fey and Amy Pohler....it was hilarious!! Afterwards, we went out to dinner and drinks. We had a great time, it was so nice to enjoy each other again :)
I want to give you more details, but Deb Sheppard is in today...our psychic...and phones are going crazy!!

Last night my family went out to eat with my neighbors...Alysse and the girls, this is there pic. Phil, her husband, also joined us at Red Robin. Well, what 8 year old boys learn on the playground! My son Austin over heard us talking about getting older, he then decided to blurt out..."My mom's booty is getting saggy!!" WHAT!! He then went on to try and blurt out other embarrassing things...thank goodness there was a milkshake close by I could quickly stuff in his mouth!!

Here's a pic of a listener named Gina and her boys. She was in tears months ago when Kyle had to leave and in tears again when he arrived home. Thanks for the pic Gina :)

I saw this and thought it was funny....

What a crazy week in Springfield, MO! I had a lot of fun shooting an infommercial for ID Watchdog, but the craziness that is my life continued. First on my way to the airport, I got into a little fender bender...I think it's payback for taking Mike's money out of his sock drawer, darn carma. No one was hurt, but it did make me miss my flight. How many flights are there from Denver to Springfield in a day?? Yes I was stressed! I caught another one 2 1/2 hrs later and when I arrived, I met the gang for dinner. You would not believe how many celebrity look alikes live in Springfield, MO!! The owner of the production house, Scott, looks just like Gary Busey. One of the producers, Randy, reminds me of Dustin Hoffman and my co host, Mark, looks like David Duchovney from XFiles.

The next day we arrived early at the studio for run throughs, so I thought. We were actually shooting that day and I didn't bring my hose or shoes. Ross, from ID Watchdog, was nice enough to drive me back to the hotel to pick up my goods. Yes the makeup girl was waiting for me, I was late AGAIN!!

John Bunnell, from COPS, is also in the spot. Let me set up this embarrassing moment for ya. I'm standing in front of the cameras, feeling all glammed up and feeling good when I hear John say, "Plante, what's that on the back of your dress?" After further inspection, I realized I sat on a couple of MILK DUDS!! From then on I was known as "Milk Dud." What a great first impression, huh??

Murphy and the Hula Hoop

I volunteered in my son Austin's class yesterday, always lots of fun. The teachers put on a pep rally for the kids and Austin's teacher dressed up and performed as Hanna Montana....she rocked the joint. The kids went crazy. She told me privately that she was soooo nervous and watched Hanna on youtube all night long to prepare for the big day. It really turned out cute. Teachers have such a demanding job and when you come across a teacher like my son's that still has the passion, love and fun for the kids, it's really cool. After Austin's class, I had to boogie to take Wyatt..he's my 5 year old...to soccer practice. That boy lives, breaths and LOVES soccer!

Guess who I saw there?? Yes, MONA!! Just in case your new to the station, Mona is a woman I met last summer at the pool. I was there with my son Wyatt and she was there with her son who is 7. They were playing in the pool with a bunch of kids, when her son decided to punch little Wyatt in the back of the head. Wyatt was upset, she told her son to get out of the pool. I calmed Wyatt down and walked him over so the kids could make up. She just looked at me and said, "What!" Dang lady, RELAX is what I wanted to say. Instead I said, "I thought the kids could make up." She told me her son hit my son, big deal... he's doesn't have to apologize. Well, it was on from there!

As the summer went on, she made snide remarks with her catty friends at the pool and I talked about it on air. Guess what? They listen to KOSI!!! Thank goodness I changed her name to MONA :) She ended up being a volunteer in my 8 year olds classroom, like I am. The drama has been going on ever since. I hadn't seen her in a while....until soccer. I said hello and she said, "Do you think Wyatt will be able handling getting hit in this sport?" Yes at that point I wanted to deck her. I replied, "Has your son learned to apologize yet?" She told me that she believes saying sorry is a sign of weakness and she tells her boys to learn from their mistakes, but NEVER say you're sorry. GOSH, I didn't know what kind of nut job I was actually dealing with!! Now we just walk past each other and you can guess what goes thru each of our minds. It's gonna be a crazy summer!

Last night was Bon Jovi's concert, I heard it was amazing. How did I hear? My friend Kathy went with Mark McIntosh, yes my cohost from "Colorado & Company." They're practically married, just haven't actually taken the walk :) She called....A FEW TIMES...during the concert. Mark bought the tix for a Valentines gift, so they were definitely having fun! While she was rockin' to Bon Jovi, I was reading Ben 10 to my five year Wyatt trying to get him to sleep. Oh, the fun life of busy mom...right? It was actually a lot of fun reading to him last night, he started correcting me! I called Ben Bob at one point! He said, "Mom, we could do this again another night if you're too tired." Love my boys :)
