Feeling better

I've gotten over my agitation from yesterday. It helps to have cute kids bring you presents... including my favorite chocolates! I love it. I am so in love with the blessings in my life. I have to learn to overlook the things that trap me into negativity. I have to learn to look beyond. I have to learn to just give to my life path and if those around me aren't assisting that I need to move on. Live, Love and Laughing to be who you were always meant to be.

The latest and the not so greatest.

On Monday Caitlibug and the kids did a wonderful Rudolph rendition in English and Danish. It was just so much fun. I loved it and loved the fun we had together. I do love prek no matter how much it takes out of me on some days. I wish I wish I wish.... I don't know if any of my wishes are being listened to because I think my daughter wanted snow and we did get it. Well.. again my lovely sib has proven to be an asshat. Would you request your sons drive in the blizzard to get to your house for their birthday, or would you say... hey let's meet up another day when the weather is better? ASSHAT! Really I can say no more than that. I don't understand it and I don't care to.  So not really nice to say, but I just really do  ♥ those boys and think that it's about time they came first. For once in life don't you think your "selfish just like your dad ways" should take a break at some point in your life? Jackass.   Well I guess that is what you get wi...

Grammy and the time warp

Caitibug was super thrilled to see her Grandma this morning. And lucky bug, she'll get to see her again tonight. Sometimes conferences are a good thing! Well, the power went off yesterday afternoon. I reset the two clocks in the kitchen and then later that night I asked Paul what time it was to reset the bedroom clock. The time he gave me came from one of the clocks in the living room that had not been reset yet. Add on top of that the fact that I didn't turn on the alarm button - oopsey - that was not a good thing. So I get up - the clock says ten to six. I think hooray. I have ten minutes before my ride to the gym is here. I get dressed and zip downstairs to a clock in the kitchen that says I'm thirty minutes late. So I had to go clean off a snow covered car at 6:30am to go to the gym to work out alone. What a sorry morning for sure. Well... things to do today so I had better go. TA

The Little Artist

Caitibug is such a blooming artist. While on vaca for her birthday she created the following: It's a self portrait just in case you couldn't tell... but it does look just like her. We had a great birthday vaca btw. It was so much needed. Mom went with us and that was incredible. We had a great lunch at Woody's and I had some wonderful wine. Love the Riesling. We had a great day at the beach, a great birthday celebration at Disneyland and loads of fun along the way in both California and Las Vegas. It's amazing what some downtime can do for a person. And watching my daughter with my mom was so well worth it. It was another one of those fantastic memorable vacations and I think ever October deserves a good vacation for the birthday girls!

Christmas

Just ordered the Grandma's presents!!! Hooray. We have three more gifts to get and then we are done. It's about time.

Family togetherness

I feel bad about the family dinner being changed due to our family "lack of funds". But I do think that people understand that we're not making what we used to, and that those of us that live in the pay-as-you-go world have to make the payments. Right?? Anyway, Caitlin made a beautiful picture today - I think that she carries some of those artistic genes from my mom. It's really pretty mature for her age group. Totally blew away the other pre-K pictures made today. Speaking of pre-K ... I have issues. Every since I had some "momzilla" get crazy at me, I keep expecting some other shoe to drop. Her son broke both of Caitlin's golf clubs, and I want to believe that she's going to get mad that I let him break them or some odd thing like that. Is it worth it??? I have to wonder. But he is the one that is the closest to Caitlin's education level so I feel like I need him to keep her advancing the way I want her to. And, thank goodness, October is a...

Trains, planes and automobiles

Caitibug got an early birthday present from Grandma Carol today. Jenn had given her a nice little train table, and Grandma bought her a brand new fun train set. What a great grandma! Caitibug has been playing with it all day long. In fact the first things she said this morning was, "It's morning time mommy, we need to go get my train!". SO -- it's all about the trainset today, tomorrow, the next day... what a spoiled girl. She also got a present for her friend, Josh, yesterday. Of course she got him a great Playmobile toy, and can you guess?? Pirates. That was a surprise, right? On a separate note, Jesse the Fly followed us everywhere yesterday. To Grandma's, to Target, even in our car on the way home. That darn Jesse the Fly...
