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. :)
