Headed Out! Hooray!

It's that time of year again:

I am getting ready to throw everything we own into my car at 5 AM, lather sunblock on some sweet baby chub, and cram some mommy into black spandex (miracle fabric, I tell you!)....Can you guess?

We are heading out to the beach! Hooray! See you all in a week or so!

Please Welcome the H1D1

After some consideration, I have decided to start a movement to rename the hot dog to H1D1.

I am not sure if it is insulting to the pig or dog, but I am certain it offends someone, right?

* Confused? Read THIS. Sure to make you chuckle!

Computer Envy

The Mini Hunk has been suffering from some serious computer envy these days. So, my time to email, work, and blog has been seriously limited. Even though I move him to his booster and offer his computer, he pushes it in the floor and wants no part of it. The chubby fingers (as seen in the pic) just point to my desk. He just doesn't get why please doesn't work when it comes to computers! This expression pretty much explains his attitude about the situation!



Anyway, I have missed you all! Hope to get to talk to everyone this week! Oh, and if you get a chance, stop by and visit my friend Anna. She just opened a salon, and she is super excited. So when you get a moment, send some congrats her way! :)

The Daddy, The Hero

We just had some CRAZY weather here in GA! We just got an unheard of 7 inches of snow in MARCH!! Us southerners are not prepared for this snowy weather, so the town shut down. Our trees all fell. Power outages everywhere. A big mess!

So, my husband had to get out the chainsaw to cut up all the trees that fell. (One almost hit our gas line....whew....just missed.) So, I am hacking through a sea of laundry and dishes. Meanwhile, the Mini Hunk is running around making saw noises at the top of his lungs.

We are on day 3 of saw mode. Apparently, his dad was quite impressive. I am trying to get it on video for you...I will post if I can catch it!

Here's to you...

(My first full on tantrum experience with the Mini Hunk led to this tribute....)

This is for all the moms:

~Who hold back the tears (and screams) during the colossal fit in the middle of the Sam's club.

~Who occasionally use the sleeve of their shirt to catch a little one's sneeze or runny nose.

~Who cares about the global concerns, but seems to be distracted by infant constipation, reflux, and other yuck stuff that is ruining your rug, and life in general.

~ Who far too often hears a little voice chanting "poo-poo" while you are trying to....well, you know.

~ Who just a few years ago, carried eye and lip liner, but now has emergency hand sanitizer, gummy snacks, and hemorrhoid cream. (Yeah, I said it.)

~Who sometimes thinks 7:45 PM might as well be midnight.

~Who also thinks sleeping until 8:00 AM would be equally as exciting as winning the lottery.

~Who finds a mystery substance all over the back of her pants and in her hair.....AFTER a trip to the doctor's office and grocery store.

So, if this is (or ever was) you....Happy Valentine's Day....you deserve it!

Confessions of a Photoholic

Okay, I will admit that I am a total nut when it comes to taking photos of the Mini Hunk. I have CD after CD with 200+ pictures on each. Logically, I know that I will never use all of them, but I still just can't bring myself to hit delete....even when it isn't that great of a photo. Does any other mom suffer from this dilemma?

Anyway, last Saturday was a beautiful day. I took the Mini Hunk out with camera in tow. After the photo session, we played a little while. Well, Wednesday morning (4 days later), I was up early. I decided to put some pics on my blog. I couldn't find the camera. Then, it hit me.....GASP!....I left it sitting on the back of the lawnmower. What a goof!

So, in 17 degree weather, I tromp out to the backyard at 6:45 am, and there it is. Just where I left it. And here are the pics....just as I took them. No worries the camera survived, but shhhhh! let's not tell my husband about this little fiasco. He might not find it as humorous as I do. :)

The Mini Hunk and Rylee. Awwww!

Here I Am!

Despite my long break in blogging, I have not fell off the face of the earth. Since my last post, I have been quite the traveler, but I am home at last. Hooray!!! While the Mini-Hunk is still facing some ear troubles, he does seem to be feeling better. (That translates: He is sleeping again-thank goodness!)

I am looking forward to visiting all my blogging friends, and I can't wait to see what is going on in your lives...

This last bit is a video stream I found via you tube. Last week, I was given an awesome cruise by my brother's girlfriend. She is an amazing musician, and here is a song that they wrote and performed on the boat. So sweet...(Background: she wrote this in honor of her grandfather that recently passed and joined her grandmother in heaven. Keep in mind that it's from someone's cell phone, so the quality is not great.)
