Make a Smilebox slideshow

Ahhh, what a sweet word. Home. It was only three days, but it was exhausting. The conference was great. Good people, interesting panels, great dining and lots of fun. But it was challenging too. Cullen didn't do all that well in the hotel. Up 3 to 5 times a night, which is quite unusual. Just wasn't himself. The bad news is that it ended up being an ear infection. The good news is that hopefully is wasn't an indication of how challenging Disney might be.

Sounds like Daddy had his hands full back home as well. Alex didn't get to her required Taekwondo classes all week. She missed the bus for the first time on Thusday and ended up being nearly 2 hours late for school after Daddy ran back in the house to get something and locked the house and car keys inside. Thanks to a locksmith they were back in later that day. Friday seemed to go a bit more smoothly. And even though Alex wore big, clunky sneakers with her cute little skirt and top I laid out...the sky did not fall.

Now it is a mad rush to unpack from Toronto and pack for Disney. Only 11 days to go and I feel soooo enprepared.

A Fresh New Look

Thought is was time for a makeover for both myself and the blog!

Before and After

Mom's Makeover

Yesterday, I received a lovely makeover, compliments of Alex. Her preschool class held a Mother's Day event in which the children did makeovers for the moms. It was adorable! They had little hair, nails and makeup stations set up. Alex was, of course, in heaven amoungst all that glamour. As you can see, she did a fine job!

It!

7 random or weird thoughts about me:

1. I get really cranky when I don't eat. So as a rule, I eat often...and well!

2. I love, love, love to make lists and spreadsheets. I like having things all mapped out. If only I could be that OCD about keeping my house clean.

3. I hate cats...and yes, that includes "The Pepper Cat" as Alex fondly calls her.

4. I have major texture issues. Wooden spoons and construction paper make the list of forbidden items in our home.

5. I can't sleep with a blanket over my feet and go bare foot as often as I can. Including today when it is 30 degrees.

6. I am obsessed with reading the obits.

7. And the Mack Daddy of them all.....I have a huge crush on none other than, Bob Lonsberry.
