survival

well i guess the sea of germs has ebbed in my house. thank goodness. but now everyone is grumpy from the heat and not sleeping. plus naestra is working on tooth #12. she's so fun to be around(great sarcasm). today has been a day of whining and tears from dawn to bed and i'm WAY too tired to deal with it so it's been a bad parenting day.

but we did go to the fair on the weekend and alarielle went on her very first ride of her own free will. that was an amazing feat for her. i was so proud. and i got to go and see pirates 3 which i likes. not as good as #1 but better than #2.

so now i sit here drinking an ice cream slush trying to be a great parent and ignore my kids! woo hoo!(whem brock got home from work and saw the look on my face from my day he just said"hey guess what?! Rae is coming this month." and i must admit it did make me feel better!)

ugh

why are kids such a big ol' pool of germs?

fun stuff!

so even though life is way too crazy and can totally bog you down WAY too fast i'm gonna list the reasons i'm using right now to keep my head high above water!
1, my GREAT friend Rae is coming next month, that thought alone makes my heart dance.
2, my kids are finally healthy
3, i'm going to vegas baby!!!!!!!!!!!frankie and i are going to vegas for our birthdays in september. we'll actually be there for her birthday but i can still be happy for mine and we're gonna see "phantom" and "spamalot"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
could i BE any happier!

jasper

so jasper was beautiful as always and my "red neck" is proof. makes me wonder why i don't live there. brain damage. but you've never seen a happier little girl than one who thinks you hold the moon just for her skipping rocks for the first time. way to go poppa.

amanda got back safe from aubi dah bi and i have the most beautiful blue pashmina silk wrap. mmmmm soft.

beautiful

could the world be more beautiful? how can you not see this as a love letter from God, just for you. thanks lord.

last week of freedom?

so i'm back to work next week. wow a year can really go fast. yeesh. but it's not really like i ever left. i'v been minimally working since november. now i'll just be more part time. yay work! i'm actually excited to be going back to some normalcy and adultness in my life.
and i get to go to jasper for the weekend for mothers day with my entire inlaws side. i know you're all groaning for me, but i'm really pumped about it! it's gonna be great. first time we've all gone anywhere together. granted it's only over night, but it's still away from home and fun!
i should be getting my canary this week too. yay a pretty bird! actually it's kind a ugly but it's free so you can't be too picky.

weeee!!!!!!

now i'm thrilled cause i'm going to josh groban!!!!!! now i may been one of the swooning girls. he he he
