Roxie.

I have a little shadow.

She is as tiny as can be.

Somedays she is sweet as sugar,

and other days I want to shove her in a box and mail her to Ohio.

Love

If you love something,

Let it go.

If it comes back to you,

It's broken.

You can't handle the truth

Lie.

I have come to the conclusion that in relationships, especially romantic ones involving multiple dating options, when faced with a dilemma or a double booking you should automatically LIE.

People claim to want honesty and say they deserve to know the truth.
Well, when the truth is laid flat in front of you, as you asked for, what will you do in that crucial moment?
Will you take it like a man, appreciate the honest candor in which it came and feel thankful to know someone who respects you enough to tell the truth?

OR

Will you throw a huge ridiculous fit that of a 4 year old girl who's sister took her bag of markers while she wasn't looking, whining and flailing your arms about in disgust of the injustice that has fallen upon you?

I'll tell you. The fit.

In conclusion: Lie. It's the only humane thing to do.

And the party rages on

M O T H E R P

M is for the many things she gave me.

O is for the other things she gave me.

T is for the thousand things that she gave me.

H is for the hundred things she gave me.

E is for everything she gave me

R is for the rest of the things she gave me

P is for the presants that she gave me

what do they spell? MOTHERP!

Happy birthday Motherp!

Kissing Cousins

Even in her underpants, she has so many words of advise for her fluffy cousin.

I choo-choo-choose you

They are the loves of my life.

They make me laugh, and they make me cry.

Literally.

Sometimes to the point of insanity.

But when they're gone, my whole world goes with them.

I love my girls.....and there is noone else I'd rather spend a love day with.

Wanna Fight?

This is Thomas. He is my roomie. We have grand adventures together.

He has recently taken up boxing. It is his prefered form of exercise.



So each night we spar. Its good times.

Medical Marval

I got strep throat this week.

Dr. Doogie looked in my throat and yelped.

My weasley sister has abandoned me in foreign places

I will be off to fetch her soon.

A tiny gathering

Happy Birthday to my Mabey.

Yes she wanted a Twilight party.

Yes the cake is bleeding.

Yes she loved it.

Back To School

Last night was back to school night. The girls went to find their classrooms and meet their teachers.

It was super fun to walk the halls of my elementary school with my kids. I admit, I did get just a bit emotional as I watched them get excited about their school year.

This year is gonna be a blast!

Reason #4 to shave your legs

whilst at the Burger Bar getting shakes the other night, Roxie made some new friends.

I turned around to find her rubbing the leg of a teenage girl who was there with a group of her friends. Luckily the teen found Roxie adorable and didn't feel the need to press sexual harassment charges...we could have been in some serious trouble.

Silly little girl

Human Doodle

This is what happens when you leave 3 girls alone in the same room with markers. One always ends up a human doodle. Last night it was Roxie.

Yes. I am back. Here are a few things you may have missed.

My Walking Baby!!

complexities.

I have concluded that I can not change the actions of others. I can not change how those actions have steered my life. I do not know where this road leads. It scares me. I do not back down from a challenge. I can look for the opportunity to learn and grow. I can look for the chance to be a better person.

Family is family. No matter how complicated.

I'm headed for the light now.
See you there.

Definition of Irony

My mom is the picture of health.

She eats right, she exercises, crap--she even walks around in those skecher shape ups.

The people at her work have taken note of this and have awarded her the "Health Award" for her outstanding example of personal health.

She was given this prestigious award on Wednesday when she was home with walking pneumonia.

Don't feed the dog!

My parents have a dog. Her name is Smokey. They got her in 1997. She is an old pup.

My brothers (d&d) have always had a soft spot for Smokey. They like to feed her table scraps. Everyone know this. We've all seen them give her ravioli, bread, dr. pepper...or a taste of whatever they are eating at the moment.

Tonight we had a lovely chicken dinner at my parents house.

My tiny sister couldn't finish all she had taken.

She asked me what she should do with it.

I replied, "give it to the dog."

It's chicken. Not bad right?

She told me "NO! Don't feed the dog. You'll kill her!"

She then turned to D1, who was sitting next to her and asked if he wanted it. D and I looked directly at each other as he said "Yes. I'll take the chicken."

I could not stop laughing. She could not figure out what I was laughing at. Even as D1 sat next to her tearing up the piece of chicken into bite sized bits, she could not figure out what was so funny.

Really? You won't give the dog your chicken, but you will give it to the person who will?

Silly girl.

Smokey enjoyed that last piece of chicken fed to her secretly under the table.
