Weekend Update and Book Giveaway

We are in full fledge packing mode. I’ve called all the utilities. The apartment is secured. The POD is scheduled. And the closing has been set. July 1 can’t come fast enough. I’m at the "I just want this to happen" moment. At this point only bad things could happen. I never really think of myself as a pessimist until I’m in a situation I can’t control. Classic Type A issues I’m trying to remedy. :) Click here to read the rest »

The Toddler Birthday Party and Poll

June 14, 2009 Posted in Fun Stuff, Journal 28 Comments »

Today was the toddlers BIG day. His 4th Birthday Bash! It was a jam packed fun-filled-perfect day!

It all started this morning when the toddler ran into my room at 6AM to ask if this was his "birthday day". I smiled and said, "yuppers!" He was SO happy and SO concerned about gift bags.
