8th Anniversary


 Today, the Hubs and I have been married for 8 years!!  In some ways I can't believe it has been that long.  I mean, it feels like yesterday were were celebrating our honeymoon.  

I'm more in love with the Hubs now than I was 8 years ago.  He's sweet, kind, loving, thoughtful.  He is a great listener, understanding, a wonderful father, great provider, honest, the spiritual leader of our home.  All in all he is the best man ever!

Happy Anniversary, Baby!!

Speaking in Code

My sister in law, Ms. Pickles, called me the other day and our conversation went something like this:

M.P.: I'm going to have to speak around things in order to get my point across.  The kids are with me.

T: Ok

M.P.: You know that time when we get dressed and the moon's orb starts to rise?

T: Night time?

M.P.: Yes, ok, the girl has been summoned to another person's abode.

T: Oh, Princess is going to a sleep over?

M.P.: Yes, and the other one is going to be very disappointed that that one goes and they do not get to.  

T: You want Tank to come here for a sleep over?

M.P.: Yes, if you wouldn't mind.  

T: Sure!  And by the way, I feel like I'm the 100,000 dollar pyramid! Hahaha!

M.P.: Well, you're doing very well with it.

Oh the things you have to do in order to have a conversation your kids don't catch on to... If it is any more cryptic I fear I won't be able to keep up! Haha!

Have a great day!
Ms. T

Beach Day!!

Today is the first beach day of the summer!  Yippee!!  I do so love the beach.  Who doesn't love the smell of the salt water, the smell of sunscreen mixed in with it, the sound of the sea gulls (even though they are pesky and try to take our food.  Stupid jerks), the feel of the sand beneath my feet, and the taste of fresh water after swimming in salt water?

 Mix them all together with a gorgeous day and you have one of the closest things to heaven here on earth.  And today, I get to enjoy it with my friends and my babies!  I know you're all jealous.  Don't hate on me.  Grab your swim suit and come meet us there!!

Have a great day!
Ms. T

Six With a Dot

During the summer we have a rule in our house.  You may get out of your bed and turn on your t.v. when your clock says 6 with a dot (the dot indicates a.m.).  And when your clock says 7 with a dot you may come and get Mommy out of her bed.

This rule was initiated last summer, because Firecracker was getting up earlier and earlier.  It was to the point where he was waking me up at 5 a.m.  I was NOT cool with this at all and thus the six with a dot rule was born.  

I placed a digital clock in his room and covered the back two numbers with a piece of paper.  It works out splendidly!  Well, this summer it is Sweet pea's turn to learn the rule.  To be honest, I never thought she would need to learn the rule at all because she is a sleep hound.  She sleeps well, and she sleeps in.  My guess is that she had just gotten used to the early morning schedule of school and just has to get readjusted.  

It's a great little system we've got going on!  The kids think it's awesome that they can control their own t.v.s for a little while, and Mommy thinks it's great to get to sleep til 7 instead of 5.  (Actually, it's more like 7:30, because I fudge their clocks and set them 30 minutes behind... Don't judge me!  We're all a happy family when Mommy gets her sleep!)

Have a great day!
Ms. T

Kill Joy

Do you remember when you were a kid wondering why your parents would never let you do anything fun?  And of course they always took away all the fun stuff to play with.  Man they were kill joys!  

Well, it occurred to me over the weekend that I have become an official kill joy.  I will not allow my kids play with plastic bottles (not sure why they love these so much) because they may be able to get the lids off and choke on them.  I will not let Firecracker jump on the bed, even if it is so bouncy, because he may just fall off and hurt himself.

I guess our parents weren't really kill joys.  Maybe, just maybe they were looking out for our personal safety.... =)

Hope you all have a great day!
Ms. T

Spies

This conversation happened a long time ago, but I think you need to hear it anyway. Ms. L and I were talking and we had one of the most hilarious discussions I've had in a while.  I think you need to be privy to it.

Ms. L: "There is this girl that comes into my work sometimes that is super weird.  Like weird in a 'I-can't-have-a-normal-conversation-with-others' kind of weird."
Apparently this woman works one door down from Ms. L's office and she makes regular appearances.  Much to the chagrin of everyone in the office.

Me: "Okaaay?" - Sorry I need more detail before I go jumping in with both feet. 

Ms. L: "The other day the Hubs (hers not mine by the way) dropped off our chicken's so I could take them to the boy's school for show and tell.  They were sitting outside our office on the side walk in their pen for a short time while I finished up a few things.  The girl walked in and asked, ' are those your chickens?'.  Of course I said, 'yes, I'm getting ready to take them to my son's school.'  The girl replied, 'Don't you know you can't leave animals out in the sun?!  They'll DIE!'."

Me: "Hmmmm, I can't believe we've been doing it wrong all this time!  How have all my out door pets not keeled over?!"

Ms. L: "I KNOW!  I think she's a spy for an animal rights group or something, but she can't possibly be a spy, because spies are supposed to have some sort of cool factor, and she has zero cool factor."

Me: "If you think about it that makes her the best spy ever!  She is making you think she's not a spy when she's actually an amazing spy!"

Ms. L: "Oh my word!  You're so right!  But let's just say that she's a spy for like PETA doesn't PETA stand for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals?  Therefore insinuating that Ethics should be invloved?  And spies don't have any ethics.  I mean if they did they couldn't very well just kill people.  Oh we need a new group! I'm going to start one!  People for the Ethical Treatment of People!  I'm going to call it PETOP!"

Me: "That is so awesome!  Can I be like member number 2?!" Because obviously Ms. L is already member numero uno.

Ms. L: "Oh no you're like the Vice President of PETOP.  As a matter of fact you're the COO of PETOP."

And by this point I was rolling and had the best stomach work out I'd had in days or maybe weeks.  Ok, so now that you're all privy to one of our conversations you know just how truly insane we are!  Honestly, we have these kinds of conversations almost all the time.  It's amazing =).  Everyone should have a best friend that brings out the nutty in them.  But you can't have mine, because I call dibs ;).

Hope you all have a great day!

Ms. T

P.s. to make the story even funnier later another lady from the weird girl's office came into Ms. L's office and said, "so what about the chickens?"  And Ms. L's reply?  "Oh I was just trying to make me some fried chicken!" hahahaha!  I love her!

New York

I bet you thought I was going to post that I was going to New York or I just got back from there.  Nope.  I wanted to give you a glimpse into my life, and why I love the Hubs ;).  Conversation between the Hubs and I:

Me: There are upsides to living in New York
Hubs: Like what?
M: There are some pretty cool super heroes that live there and protect the place
H: Yeah, like Spiderman
M: Exactly, and Iron Man
M: Think about it, Spiderman really wouldn't be able to help too much if he was out in the burbs.  I mean what would he do?  Take a taxi to the scene of the crime?
H: True
H: New York is where all the villains are too.
M: Yep, that's why the need the super heroes.
H: Yep
M: It's the down side for sure

And this is the reason we will never live in New York.

We are crazy, but we are crazy together!  Love you, Babe!!

Hope you all have a great day!
Ms. T
