Yay hubs!!

Do you know how long it takes to watch 6 seasons of Lost?

For some, it took 6 years.

We are fairly gifted and talented in this household.

It only took us 2 months!!

That's right...

2 months of child neglect

2 months of disney channel reruns

2 months of locked doors

2 months of sighing when someone knocked on the door

2 months of overlooking late night kitchen cleaning

2 months of forgetting about that track to tenure

2 months of bed sores (not really, but you catch my drift)

I COULD NOT WAIT for Jack, Sawyer, Hurley and Kate to get of that blasted island!!

Our house looks as though the smoke monster himself took up residence.

But, they're all dead now. We've enjoyed our accelerated brush with the worldwide phenomenon...and we're back.

The inmates will no longer be running this prison...the Others have returned!!!!

this is your brain on summer

my brain melted.
sorry.
sometime in may. between a birthday party, yearbooks, teacher gifts, and end of the year parties...it melted into a big ball of goo.

i'm scrambling to get it back.
not happening.

may slapped me upside the head....much like december does.
june just finished me off.
summer is hard this year.

they're all soooo hard to entertain.
and summer math and reading?
good parents all around are concerned. i....didn't even think about it. there's still time. (sorry kids)

today: swim
tomorrow: swim
next: free movie, swim

i've got to get my summer on...and quick!!!
bootstraps up.

Egg-cellent!!

Dear Sarah,

You are such a good friend.

Remember when you invited all of us mommies and our 4 year olds to your house for an Easter Party? It was wonderful. We had a lot of fun.

Remember when we colored eggs? The kids loved the painty q-tips.

Remember when I found those eggs? No?

Well, I did.

In my car.

One month later.

Thank you for putting them in a ziploc bag!! You saved my upholstery.

Dear husband,

I'm sorry for all the times I called you crazy...above and below my breath. I know you weren't just smelling things.

things don't look good

we made stir-fry last night...complete with fortune cookies.
here's what rolled out

I will "soon reach perfection"
Blaine's "worst of times is behind him"
Payton "will inherit a large sum"
Taylor's "life will get interesting"
Macy "will move to a new house within the year"
Reily "will be surrounded by good friends"

LaChoy you're a creepy lot!! You don't put those sorts of things in the cookies of a crazy woman's family!! Do you know who my mom is?!?!?

Sounds like a good week to stay inside.
