Freak Out

Today was comical...................or maybe not!? I needed to keep you contained so I could bathe. I heard you through the closet walls. Manical Laughing. I knew I would have a story to tell about you. Exhausted by a workout after a "freak out" hiatus. Daddy left us last week. I thought it would be a fabulous idea to get a Rx for sleeping pills to help me through the days without him. It didn't quite work out as planned. Anywhoo..............back to today. I got out of the bath, camera in hand. I KNEW I would have a story. I was NOT dissapointed. You, my child, managed to wiggle yourself out of all clothing (while leaving your shoes and socks on). I walked into a naked mess.
SERIOUSLY!!????

Cub Scouts

Dear Ian~
I love being your mommy. I love doing things for you that make you smile and think I hung the moon. Today, however.......I know that nothing that I do can replace the presence of your Daddy. I attended your first Tiger Cub meeting tonight. I was the Mommy who attended with ALL Daddies. I watched your lip quiver and a few salty tears fall from your root beer barrel brown eyes as you looked into my eyes. Tonight I realized NOTHING can replace your Daddy. Your Daddy loves you to the moon and back too. We love you! Love~ Mommy

OH~ How the 3 of you keep me on my toes. I love you with all of my being, even though I am usually on the brink of insanity. You are so insightful and innocent. I love you for that. Today was a day of talk, play and laughter............ The later being laughter over a note that hangs on the fridge at the moment.

P.S. Hannah, if you are going to sneak candy from the bowl, don't throw the wrappers away 2 hours after you are to be in bed.

Love you..........to the moon. Mommy

4-18-08 The NEVER ENDING Tantrum

Lily (you have) has been a pain in the arse for a week now. Everyday is the same. Grunting, crying and blowing endless bubbles out of her nostrils. DRAMA. QUEEN. For crying out loud! Today I said.........enough is enough. I can't stand it any longer. I need a drama free day. I would kill for a drama free week.

Love you to the moon.
