Afternoons like this..

After an afternoon like this I had to keep telling myself its alright, life is not doomed. I know my problem is completely trivial, but when you are tall like me is so depressing to never find clothes long enough. You see I am too tall for most of the dresses on the market. A few years ago I thought I found one long enough only to be told my husband it wasn't long enough. I thought I had been holding on to it, in hopes I would shrink or something. In LA I was shown, vintage hems, I thought I had the solution to my dress problem. Only to not be able to find my dress today...(sad face).
Hopefully I can find it....
If not at least the slips do open a whole new market of dresses that do not reach my knee.

Standing

I have 300+ vacation pictures that I could post but I just don't feel like it. Here is something more exciting. My baby standing. Not to mention look at those huge cheeks!

But instead of posting pictures, I would rather plan out my birthday, halloween, christmas, etc What do you want for christmas, sometimes I find gift exchanges easy, other times a littl more challenging..

Travel Injuries

My mom and I have been busy busy doing lots of projects since I've been at her house. But between piano lessons, my two small children, and appointments, my mom and mine only time is after my kids are in bed, which means we have been staying up past midnight almost every night. Needless to say I'm exhausted, so last night when I sliced my finger open on a straight pin, it was a good thing my mom and my sister was there to keep me from passing out.

It was a special moment.

Right after I sliced my finger I declared that I have not been able to stand the sight of blood since I got pregnant with my daughter 18 months ago. I was laughing hysterically out of exhausted while prancing around the room, pratically swooning with blood pooled up in my hand. Luckily my mother stopped my movements while my sister interpeted my hysteria vocals. My mother cleaned my hand for me, since I couldn't handle the blood in my tired state. I didn't really recover until after I ate to get my nausa undercontrol.

Sure my finger still hurts, but what I'm really wondering is why does blood still make me sick?

By the time I get home and upload pictures I will have millions of them. Even though I have my laptop with me, I doubt I will upload until I get home, I hate uploading.
I've reazlied our MBA honeymoon is over, since we've been gone it seems like every night my husband is doing something with school.
The kids and I must be having fun, it is apparent by how increasingly exhausted we get each day. My mom and I have gotten a lot of projects done be sure to check them out when I get around to posting them on my other blog.
But one of my highlights of the trip was going to go see Gary the jeweler. For the first time in 5 years I got my rings polished, cleaned and re dipped. When I went to pick them up today I didn't even recognize them they looked so good. It was a fitting time to get it done, as it was 5 years ago this month I was threatening my husband if he did indead want to get married to me I needed my ring by my birthday. I thought he was playing a trick on me, since he likes to tease, but indead he was telling the truth that the ring would be late because Gary was sick. Amazely enough I did get the ring before the end of the month. It was only a few days after the 26th. So I did decided to still marry my husband. Luckily for me, I'm sure the one who won. I think he is a much better catch than I am.

Too Tired for a witty titlre

We just got back fr0m a weekend in LA. It was lovely, we got to see Brent, the kids were excited to see dad. My husband loved being at the beach every day. While I went through my boycott sunscreen, because I hate listening "authority", and now I have a sunburn.
On the flight back to Texas my son barfed, he told me later he was glad for barf bags. The flight attendents were so unhelp, but what can you expect. Flight attendents are not there to be your friend, they are there to serve you a drink, and increase the price of your ticket.
My husband taught my 5 year old nephew some skateboard tricks, so he has won favorite uncle for a while. It was pretty cute to see my nephew doing the tricks, even if it was in his living room.
And luckily I had a chance to talk to my sister in law, so hopefully I recovering fr0m my quarter life crisis. More on that later...
Not to mention-- I got to see and hold my newest newphew! Although unfortunately I smelt too good for him ever to be happy with me. I guess thats the problem with having babies at similar times.

mini eee pc and nappy d

Last night as I was falling asleep, I wrote this great post in my head. At least I thought it was great, but it was late, so it was probably completely incoherent to everyone except for me.

My mom has a mini Eee PC that I am totally loving it. It is great to be able to blog with, check blogs, email, take Pinecone surveys, basically the only stuff I do online, and be able to follow my children around. Since its mini, I don't have to worry about finding a large flat spot to put it when we move locations around the house. Quite a few family members have iPod touches, but the problem is I'm not much of an internet surfer without being able to typing, since I mostly blog, email and check blogs. It would be great for those days that I spend 4+ hours outside our apartment, since the battery lasts around 4 hours. Not to mention I could hold the mini computer, my daughter and the scooter, while I walk up and down our half of flight of stairs. Normally I can't get all three with the full size laptop. When I think of the Mini Laptop, I think of one of my husband's and I's theme songs.

Yes, I love technology
But not as much as you, you see
Always and forever

Yes, that is from Napoleon Dynamite. I was dating Brent when I first saw Nappy D, it was in the theater and I remember walking out thinking I can't believe I just wasted 2 hours of my life. Then we got a copy of the movie a few weeks later. I thought it was so hysterical. During our engagement we were on a quest-- to show Nappy D to everyone who had never seen it before, or who had only seen it once and didn't think it was funny the first time. Yes, I think I averaged watching it once a week while I was engaged. I probably still have most of the movie memorized.

And with that you can dream of all the fun I've had with my mom...

New Post

I have nothing much to post about.

My children and I are in Texas, my husband is busy working and schooling.

I realized the other day part of the reason I'm glad we moved is for the most part most of our neighbors would never be classified as uber parents. Uber parenthood wears me out. The people I live around, have no problem with their children watching a little tv, or letting them dig in the dirt, they tell their children to stop whining, they aren't concerned about organic babyfood with DHA added, they are pretty convinced their children will survive childhood just fine. I find that a relief. Like the other day I mentioned my baby daughter has tan lines, I said I don't know if thats a bad thing, or good that she has vitamin D. Another mom said oh course it is good, everyone likes the sun and likes to be tan. Thank goodness I didn't have any moms staring me down for poisoning my children with UV-rays. The sun, can be so dangerous, I'm surprised anyone ever leaves their house. By the way, when we are out long term I do sunscreen, and I do put hats on my bald baby's head. But I unlike many today think sunlight is good. Vitamin D is necessary, not to mention we are happier with sunlight and fresh air.
