Fun at the water park!!!


Michael "reading" (Jake's library books.. which didn't go over so well when Jake found out... LOL)

Well, I may have jumped the gun and said that I would make the blog private too soon... who knows... I'm still contemplating it.... I hate to do that, but I am also a little weirded out by a private e-mail someone sent me. I hate to make it private because I have learned so much from reading other peoples' blogs and learning about their life lessons. It is what inspired me to create mine. I know that there are a handful of sites that I read daily and those people don't know who I am.....(I certainly don't creep them out either and send them weird messages...) Anyways, as you can see, I'm torn....

We had a great weekend! Got all of our "chores" done... you know, the usual stuff that needs to be accomplished. Michael has turned into a crazy, possessed, TEETHING devil (with the fangs to prove it!) He cried and cried and cried and cried on Saturday... until Chris and I almost lost it. Whew... it was draining...It hurts so much to not be able to take away the pain of my child. He was better today. I know he just HURTS and can't help it, but gosh, he's just so darn fussy, irritalbe, cranky, and nothing makes him happy. THIS TOO SHALL PASS is the phrase that keeps repeating over and over in my head.

The rest of the weekend was filled with going to the gym, weighing in (YEAH- I lost another 6 pounds for a total now of 30.8 lbs!!!), swimming, grocery shopping, cleaning, playing at the water park, more cleaning, playing in the sand box, laundry, and cuddling.
:-) See, a nice combo of productiveness and family-fun.

I am working "summer hours" which means waking up at the butt-crack of dawn. God bless coffee. Anyone who knows me KNOWS I am NOT a morning person. Having to be at work before 6 am is CRAZY for me!! Atleast I'm getting off early though....

I'm off to shower and prepare my stuff for the morning. The lord knows it takes all I have to even brush my teeth and get dressed. ;-)
