Butterflies

"Mom, I'm a beautiful BUTTERFLY!! See my wings? Pink outside and green in here. And I eat sap and honey from the ground with my SPOON!"

"Not with your straw mouth?"

"Huh? no."

+1 in the brother column

Today, my daughter gained a 6th brother. Welcome Logan Chase who was born at 10am this morning. He was 6#1oz and 19". Everyone is doing great and the kids can't wait to meet him. Congrats to my xhusband and his wife!

Tie a Yellow Ribbon

My brother-in-law, an Army Ranger, was deployed yesterday to Iraq. May God bless you and keep you, Mike. My sister and their 2 kids will be coming home from Ft. Riley, KS until he returns. It will be nice to have them here again, but I can't help but worry for him.

Drinkin' Draino

I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy strep as an adult. I think I thought I might have, but I was very, very wrong. It suu-ucks in a 1/2 a bottle of vicodin hasn't touched the pain kinda way. When I went to the urgent care last night (there was no way to make it to my 10am dr appt today), they told me that it would be about 4 hours and that I could go home and they would call me when it was my turn. Then, she witnessed me attempting to swallow. They had me back in a room with a q-tip down my throat in about 5 min. JOY! Please pray that it ends with me?

Where are the sheep?

Oh Mr. Sandman, why hast thou forsaken me?
