Number Four Tag

My good friend Natalie tagged me. By the way she had worded it, I thought she was giving a different kind of announcement, like the pregnancy kind, but no. Instead, I am supposed to find my fourth photo folder and pull out the fourth picture and post it. This is one of the pictures I wish had been the 4 of 4, but alas, it is not. I love seeing how much the kids have changed, but this was found in the 6th folder and was like #18. Oh well. Disappointment all around.

This is the 4 of 4 unless you want me to show you a random picture of concrete from Cliff's work. I figured you would be more interested in people pics than looking at a floor or some building supports.

This is Nadia on our Boston/Rhode Island trip. Can you see her cute cheeks under that hat? She doesn't look like it, but she was actually really excited to go to 7 Flags over New England and take pics with Tweety and Bugs. She had a great time, especially on the child size roller coaster. My apologies for the shirtless man in the background. REALLY.

Now I get to tag 4 unfortunates, hehehe. I tag Jenny Sharp, Jen Stephens, Michelle Sharp, and Kathy Kissner. That's right, ladies. Now get to work!

Sssh...He's Sleeping

Brandon made a door hanger at preschool on "N is for Night" day. So that night he wanted me to hang this on his door and CLOSE IT. This from the boy who needs half the upstairs lights on in order to sleep, and the door open just in case his sneaky mean parents forget and try to turn something off. I was worried it wouldn't last, and he'd start to cry quietly in bed because he was scared. Nope. Check out this laid back position at 10 pm at night. Who knew that all we needed to cure the night time scares was a door hanger from preschool?

Rantings of a Mad Woman

Why can't they make sweats that are actually long enough for me? Why does the clothing industry think that every woman who needs pants must be 5' 7" and make the rest of us suffer?

Why does everyone have to yell from the other room at me when I have a migraine? And then they follow up by yelling that they found it after I walk in the room?

How can my son give himself a fauxhawk with just orange juice or yogurt, and I can't use enough hair products to keep my hair in a simple pony tail?

If it's so hard to put the movies/books back on the shelf, why did you take them all down in the first place?

Do you ever get frustrated with children who have lost something only to find it is right behind them/ next to them/under them?

Why are children so infatuated with the bathroom until it's time to potty train?

Would it kill you to try what I made for dinner before deciding you don't like it? Really? It would?

Why do I feel so guilty about spending "me" time, even it it's just for a haircut or dental visit?

What is your rant?

Morbidly Morbid

So Nadia had her 100 days at school party yesterday. They got to have a little candy, play some games and draw. One of the things to do was a picture of how you look now and how you will look when you are 100. Here's her picture.

Yeah, that's a tombstone on the right. Nadia drew her face on it with an X because she's dead. This is why we don't volunteer at the senior center.

I will admit that I laughed when I saw it. Cliff was worried, so he asked her why she wasn't going to be around at 100. In typical 7 going on 18 attittude, she rolled her eyes and said 100 is way too old. She's going to make it to 90 and then pass on. Dang, I wish I had her planning skills.
