It's august 30th

HAPPY BORNDAY TO ME!

a moment of fear...

and a moment of "couldn't be prouder". seriously, i am going to kill kylee for almost giving me a heart attack. brenton is now a diving machine. PS it is my last day to be 33 (i think, i don't actually remember how old i am). if you ever ask me, i answer 35.

what we did this summer...alot.

 swim lessons with cousins!

 Brenton and Kylee did 3 two week sessions

 they are now ready to train for swim team. i am thinking of signing them up for fall practice. they have loved doing this so much.

 Tessa got in on the act also, even though the first two days were iffy, she ended of LOVING IT.

 passing by her friend Hudson.

 with cousin Saylee

and cousins together...AGAIN.

heading into 3rd and 4th grade!

my mouth is in pain. serious pain. i can't open my mouth pain. i do not like root canals.

One of THOSE days

First day of school.

Major cramps.

Root canal.

This day is going to eat me alive.

I am alone

So, I decided to blow everything off until my family returns. They went to NM to visit walter's sister and her family. My vacation is one of peace and quiet, except for the movie night with Molly. Has anyone seen 30 minutes or less? Mo and I are pumped to see it. I may even go to a movie by my lonesome. Look at me all grown up! TA TA's.

she is still happy to be here at home

 you see this happy go lucky dog here? doesn't she look so happy to be at home with her family? does she look like she is in any pain at all? would you suspect anything to have happened to this nice, loving, never ever snapped at anyone dog to be injured.

yesterday morning my kids came running into my bathroom to show me this. i promptly freaked out, along with my kids, and took her to the vet. come to find out, a few weeks ago, while she was out with the husband, a bulldog bit her. she didn't cry, whine, nothing, so i guess my husband thought she was fine. OH NO, SHE LICKED AT THAT SORE UNTIL HER HAIR WAS GONE! she is now on antibiotics and i now have a bulldog sized chip on my shoulder.

TV watching peeps

Did you watch the real housewives of new York reunion?

Did you understand a damn thing?

Did you want to scream at the TV "one at a motherloving time!"?

Are you still as confused as I am?

NO ONE ANSWERED ANY OF THEIR QUESTIONS WITH A STRAIGHT ANSWER!

Yes, it's trash TV and I am not gonna justify myself. LOVE IT!

Did Tessa make you laugh?
