Florida!!!

We're off to Disney World tomorrow for 8 days then Naples for 6. It's a much overdue vacation.

Thank you

Thank you Sydney Rae and Gabriella Rose for making me a mother. For providing me with the hardest, but best job I will ever do. Thank you for your hugs and kisses and knowing when I really need them. Thank you for always being able to put a smile I my face. Thank you for even those times when I want to scream, they make me a better person. I wouldn't change a thing about the 2 of you, my beautiful girls, so funny yet serious, so pretty, yet not perfect (which makes you both natural beauties, the best kind), so smart yet not geeky smart, so independent, yet still needing me. You girls are the best thing that ever happened to me and today on Mother's day I thank you for helping me fulfill my greatest dream of becoming a mother.

Tales from Gabriella Rose

Kevin was getting her off the potty after doing her business.

Kevin: "Wow that alot of poop!" (yes we like the crude humor in our house)
Gabriella: "Why thank you Daddy."

She was so proud she even came to tell me all about it.

Tales by Sydney Rae

Kevin woke up Sydney the other day for school and she was stretching and moaning and groaning.

Kevin: "What's a matter Syd?"
Sydney: "I was dreaming that I was riding on a unicorn."
Kevin: "Hahahahahahaha"
Sydney: "Well I've never had that dream before."

That's what I get

That's what I get for cleaning... I have pulled a muscle in my right arm and I'm in constant pain. See cleaning is very dangerous that's why I should just not do it anymore. I of course rightfully hurt myself because I decided to put up Sydney's bed with one arm a day after getting a massage from Kate (my best friend and a massage therapist) who specifically told me to take it easy. She worked on my shoulder that I hurt in the accident. Every couple of months the pain starts to become unbearable and I beg my extremely too nice to me friend to relive me of the pain. Of course for her to do that she has to really work my shoulder leaving me in muscle pain (the good kind of pain, not the tight pain that I usually feel) for 2 days. It's a good thing she lives next door because she has been working my arm for the past 2 days now. Hopefully one of these days this "broken friend" (that's what she calls me) will be able to repay her kindness. maybe she'll just put me in an ugly bridesmaid dress and we can call it even.

Cleaning????

I hate to clean, I really really hate to clean. But I do love to rearrange furniture. I usually rearrange every room about twice a year. Then in order to actually rearrange the furniture I make myself clean while I'm doing it. So today I am tackling the girls' room. (I can't wait till we get them bunk beds there's no room in there) and uncovering months of dust and toys and single socks, and hair elastics, promising that I will keep up with the cleaning of at least there room. Who wants to make a bet that in 6 months when we put in the bunk beds it will be the first time I've cleaned under the furniture since today.

Out of the mouth of Gabriella...

Gabriella was watching a cartoon and the little girl on the cartoon said she was going to the beach, she then asked "would you like to go to the beach with me?" Gabriella screamed out "No thank you" At least she's polite
