RassaFrassafasdsdflk (Swear Words)

I just wrote a blog post about my weekend…

and I tried to click on Preview…

and it didn’t work.

So I clicked on Save Draft and it brought me to a strange screen asking if I was sure I wanted to do this and I pressed “Please try again”…after all I was trying to save the draft right?

WRONG.

It’s gone.

{sigh}

So here’s my new post.

Title filled with swear words and all.

Happy Monday.

Hrmph.

Tomorrow is Tuesday…

Or as Elena sang today…”Toooomorrrow—there’ll be sunnn” (only as a 3 year old can sing)!

Thank you to Pinterest for the picture! Yes, I felt like Yosemite Sam in “I Hates Rabbits”…YouTube it…it’s worth it!

On any given day you can take your pick…heck, on any given moment you can take your pick!

Some days your child lays down and screams like he or she is dying… Read more

Top 10 Things I Look Forward To…

So here it is…

My list.

The list of things I look forward to. This list is a combination of “bucket list” items and everyday items and “someday dreams” items. It’s not put into order by my most important item as #1, it’s more in timeline order.

As I sat down to write this list I realized there are so many more things I could put on here. The “little things”…like watching Gabi run cross-country races this fall, or her basketball games. Or seeing Sam off to her 2nd year at college…and the daily phone calls when she’s gone. Or the chances I get to see Alex, Tom and my adorable grandpuppy Louis (snorts and all). Read more
