One more down...hey wait...

That's it!!!...no more kids!!! Hot damn diggity.


As I stated as I hop skipped and jumped to my bike, after dumping the youngest precious angel at her first day of Kindergarten,

"If I was a stay at home Mom... I'd be drinkin from a flask right now!!! Woop WOOP!!!"

Some young dad looked at me with wonder in his eye and said, "Lucky...I have two more at home."

haha naanny nanny doodoo...

No really, I take great joy in seeing the kids onto another milestone for them, and me. I know, I know, they grow up sooooooo fast. Yes, but that is ok, because if they are anything like the rest of my family, they never actually grow up and move out, so what ever I can do to help the process...including all day kindergarten...I'm for it!!!
I nicely packed an extra pair of pantaloons and shorts into her pocket in her backpack and whispered in her ear....Just in Case...that way you won't have to wear the "loaner clothes".
It probably won't happen...but just in case. (see, I'm a good mom)

I'm at work right now, thinking about going to the Toad Bar next door and having a celebratory shot just because.

Kindergarten...
5 years old...
She is so grown up and all I have to show for it is
more gray hairs, saggy boobs, and the thoughts that one day I will be able to vacation without kids.

Loving Mudpuppy

I came across this wonderful local Denver artist and had to post his stuff.

Mudpuppy

so adorable with their succulant Mohawks

Perfect for Baby's room?

Jellyfish...i love them...

These are going to be perfect gifts and I think if you know someone who is having a housewarming his stuff would be more than fabulous.
He does ask 4-6 weeks for delivery so we better start ordering now!
go look at everything...
oxoxxo

clean living again...finally

carpet guy came...ahhhhhhhhhh much better.

dirty windows, I see...that will be today.

are you supossed to tip the carpet guy? I tipped him 40$...hell he had a helper...so I figured he could give the helper the forty and keep the other 180$. They also did the stairs and the basement shag...which will never be better until removed.

I worked on Olive's dress...it should be done by tomorrow.

constructive behavior

I took my lunch break and used the time to cut out a dress for Olive using McCalls Pattern M5796...I hope she loves it. I'm sure she will, the girl LOVES dresses.
I need to whip up some bloomers and buy leggings for the school year, because modest she is not and I don't think all the other little kids in her class really want to look at her Hello Kitty Panties.
I love to sew...I just hate the long process of it and I hate that I never get it right on the first round. you know?

The carpet cleaners come tonight (thank god), so we are eating veggie burgers outside, then I can sew in the sewing room.

If anyone knows of a good look for curtains I need it. I bought some fabric to curtain up my windows (yes, I just used curtain as a verb) if the craft room.
I was looking at the new BH&G and they had a little spread on the color coral.
I never liked coral, but then again, i guess I do like coral because it revved my engines. I knew Bobby wouldn't go for a room of coral so I picked my craft room aka the laundry room.

I can't wait.
but I have to, because I am a slow mover...
and occasional shaker.

so mad!!!!

the lady who had the Hutch decided NOT to sell it. I KNOW it's because I told her what I was going to do with it.

so ...instead of firing off a bunch of angry emails...

I sent Bobby to Home Depot to get me a new LG washer, which we can't afford.

I'm really angry right now...

reaaaaaalllly
