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)!

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

The Winner of the Worst Bed Head Competition

It’s official!

I thought I had bad “Bed Head” days…(of course I’m not going to show you!)

But then Jen brought the babies and I saw the back of Elena’s head.

Need I say more?

Look at that rat’s nest!

And what you can’t see is it poofs out about 5 inches from her head!

Happy Friday everyone – I hope this brought you a smile!

A Parrot in the Northern Minnesota Woods and a Sweet Walk in the Alley

The little Miss’s Elena and Nicole have struck again…

Touching the funny bone and sweet, heart melting part of my heart.

It all started yesterday morning as we went for a walk down our alley. Well, in all reality, I walked, Elena rode our tricycle, and I pushed Nicole on her little car.

As we continued our walk (me intent on trying to steer little one year old Nicole), Elena said “What wath that?” I look up to see she’s looking into the woods and realize she’s asking about the bird songs we were hearing.

I found the little blackbird in a tree and as I tried to point it out to her she exclaimed “There it ith…it’th a parrot!” Read more
