I dream of a day when I will be able to take the kids to the pool without dealing with asshat college kids bringing in beer and putting candy bars in the pool.

I want to go to the pool with the girls this weekend, but I just KNOW that I will have to deal with assahts like my neighbors.

It's hot. I'm wearing cranky panties.

I love having such wonderful friends. Today was Athena's birthday party and I had a great time. I really love that my friends come to celebrate my daughters first birthday. They all brought presents too which I told them they didn't have to do. The kids ran around and played with toys and played pretend (something about tornados and potatos) ( Read more... )

It is still amazing to me to think that one year ago today I was in the hospital waiting for Athena to make her enterance into the world. I remember the day very clearly. Erik and I were so excited and overcome with joy. I watch as she learns new things everyday and am amazed by her desire to explore no matter how many tumbles she takes and her ( Read more... )

In less that 24 hours my baby will be one year old. The time flies by just way too fast.

Odd. I've read three posts today that involved meatloaf. Very odd.

My Mother's Day was great. A few minor irratations, but that comes with the Married with Children territory :D I woke up to a great back massage, had some yummy breakfast and visted with my MIL and with my mom. I got a really cute craft from Alex and a coffee maker. A coffee maker may sound boring, but in my world in the morning, that is the ( Read more... )

I always thought I was a type C. Apparently I am more likely a type D with a 500% more likely chance to have some sort of stress related heart atatck.

That's nice to know...

Reason # 87,653,429 that I hate watching the news.

Can you all e-mail me and let me know if you are going to CDAF this year? I've heard bits and pieces here and there and don't really feel like dealing with the drama lama ding dong surrounding it, but would still like to know who I might see if I decide to go. I really only recognize a few people on the list, so I thought about maybe just heading ( Read more... )
