Pop rocks, Kandinsky, football; Mother of the f@#$%^& Year


1. Put batteries in Nicks walkie-talkies so I can have contact with him whenever I want (overprotective much) CHECK
2. Calls to dentist make appts for us, call and cancel Timewarner because they suck, plead with the IRS not to come after for a couple more months, calls to check into homeschooling because LQMS sucks, calls to refill scripps ( for mothers little helpers) call to make appt with my doc for lab results, CHECK (WELL ALMOST ALL)
3. Take Steve0 to get art supplies to do a Kandinsky-like landscape and make hand made crafty thank yous, then bribe him with PopRocks to be good while shopping. CHECK
4. Watch Steveo ingest PopRocks for the first time and laugh and get nostalgic about going to the Palm Desert mall with Elizabeth and buying PopRocks from Whats-Up (the coolest store in the mall at that time) CHECK
5. Coming home to find a bunch of kids in my house. CHECK
6. Distract Steveo from throwing massive tantrum because he cannot follow Nick and his friends to there "club house" in the middle of the desert, and thus offering bubblegum and other sweets to him. CHECK
7. Finishing Steveos Kandinsky city scape that was 97% done. CHECK
8. Allow Steveo to demonstrate how to throw a football so Im not so "girly" CHECK
9. Yell at Nick for coming home at 4:45 instead of 4:00 like I asked (in front of all his friends) CHECK
10. Clean house, do more laundry, pet Charlie (I think he feels left out sometimes) CHECK
11. Bribe Steveo with fast food to take a bath and put PJ's on CHECK
12. Hunt Nick down at his friends house (again) and drag his butt back. CHECK
13. Call Tom and tell him how shitty my day was, and inquire about his. CHECK
14. Read some of The System of a down biography that I got Nick (that he hasnt touched) check email, bank account and see what bills posted, lay out my scrubs for manana, pop sleeping pill. CHECK

Winter Wonderland


I love Idyllwild. I really love not living in the snow, but having the luxury of visiting the snow fairly easily. We went sledding, built a snowman, watched the boys throw snowballs at each other, all in celebration of Steve-o's 7th birthday.

Happy Birthday My Steve-o


Its been 7 years today. You bring me so much joy, so many smiles when I watch you just being you. It almost seems selfish, how much happiness I get. You are my world baby. I want to squeeze you tight forever. Im am so grateful to be your mom. I hope one day you will understand how deeply my love for you is. Happy Birthday baby!!!!

Mr. Charlie

So last night, Charlie went stiff, his little body started contorting to a weird position, eyes glazed over, gasping for air. He gave me the scare of my life. I have only seen humans have seizures. He was wobbly for an hour after. ( The Post -ictal phase )I just kept petting him and telling him I loved him. Im waiting for the vets office to open. Im not sure why this happend, or if it was an isolated incident, but I know today, I will have him by my side all day long. They need to have a doggie 911 system for crap like this.
