Gang Cobblestone

A little less gang activity like this......and a little more gang activity by the "Cobblestone Brigade"(above) makes for a happier world!!!! For the record this picture wasn't taken on Halloween, it was taken in the dead of summer, hilarious, unh!

P.S. A Big Thanks to the cute lady that left muffins and card addressed "to my graffiti friend," on my doorstep, you made my day!

The Price

So, to be quite frank and honest, I'm one of the very lucky few, I think 5% to 10% of the child bearing female population that gets a very bad, not so fun, case of the post baby madness. I will refrain from saying Post-partum depression because that sounds way to clinical and depressing(HE,HE) So when I found out almost three years ago that I was pregnant with my third, I cried and cried, I think I continued crying for 3 months. I was sick, fat(a good comparison would be an over-filled water balloon), and I seriously think I was the missing bird from the cuckoo nest.

After the delivery, I looked at this new precious infant, who by-the-way reminded me of Uncle Fester from the Adams Family(it was her long curly eyebrows), we won't tell her that, and decided I could do it. I left the hospital and immediately trimmed her long curling eyebrows(amazing a baby that needs her eyebrows trimmed), and decided that I would bucker down for a long ride, and believe me it was a long ride. The ride lasted for over a year, but ladies it did and does end, and I can say that I'm the happiest I have ever been and have been for a while. There is a fine line between sanity and insanity and I was walking that fine line. I can honestly say the one thing that caused my madness, was the very one thing that got me back. So for that Tessa I thank you and love you, and we will forever have a special bond.

*My cute neighbor from the old hood(you know who you are) if you read this, just wanted you to know that you're not the only one! Good luck, it will end!

From Trash to Treasure

After spending a day at garage sales, I found 2 dressers and a book shelf. I got all three for a grand total of 40 dollars. With a little elbow grease, I painted them and ta-daa they worked out great. Tessa and Libby moved in together so their room is the pink one(as if you didn't know), and Drew got his own room! Now....what color to paint Drew's room....um

Screaming Deal

One glass of lemonade for 50 cents or two glasses for 05 cents, um what a deal. Thanks Bibbies for the laugh!

St. George 2009

St. George has stolen my best friend. Haley broke the news to me a couple of days ago, and I think I'm still in mourning. Miss Haley and I have been best friends since 7th grade. We've gone through all of the major life transitions together;boyfriends, college, marriage, kids, etc.etc. What's that you say, oh you say St. George isn't that far away, well it's too far for me. So, I guess, I'll have to be spending a lot more time in St. George, too bad.

Um, so maybe Garrett will be missing a little more of Aaron than we thought, double wink wink!

So Lonely

So ladies, a personal question from me to you, how do you grieve the loss of you husband? In my case it's not a loss from death or divorce. In my case I've lost my husband to cable t.v. during football season. Just asking.....

My Rugrats

Oh My! How I adore these three. Thanks for bringing me joy, purpose, meaning, and on occasion a slight nervous breakdown...shhh don't tell anyone! Love you, and can't imagine my life without your laughter(and crying)!

Love....Mom
