Lent

Lent, or is it Lint? :) I was thinking about giving up cheese for Lent. I'm thinking that will be ridiculously hard, especially given the amount of pizza we eat. Quick, I need some suggestions for what to sacrifice during Lent. Giving up cheese means giving up pizza...I wasn't planning on giving up pizza!

Another question, when you give something up, do the rules state that you can indulge on that something on Friday's or Sunday's during Lent, or do you have to give it up the whole time? Where is the rule book on this subject?!

Manic Monday

We are hoping to hit the reset button on the week tomorrow...wheeew...today was a Manic Monday! Started off with projectile spit-up all over the bed and floor. After spot cleaning the sea-grass rug (not easy to clean) and new bed spread we were off to change a diaper...when the little man decided to pee on the wall and all down the back side of the dresser. With so much activity before 8:00am we thought the day might be back on track. Not so lucky, Gavin, proceeded to get bit by a "friend" at day care! With that kind of friend, who needs enemies?! The good news is that he is fine! Just a little red mark. It couldn't have hurt much at all, probably just startled him. So, the accomplishment of the day = first "incident report" from day care. Rack one up in the "first" column.

Happy (early) FAT TUESDAY!!

Broken-mobile :(

The Audi is trusty soldier...she survived a break-in this weekend. She was parked in front of our house and someone made their way inside the car and tried to forcefully remove the stereo! The Audi came out with the victory, but was a little damaged. Who tries to steal car stereos these days? As Kiffin said, that is so 80's! Anyway....she is lookin a bit tattered, but has new tires to help spruce her up! Grandpa Kelly would be proud. I think a mini-van could be in my near future..........

Lunch Ladies

Peanut Butter is to Jelly as Waterproof Mascara is to Day Care

....gigs up! Today is my first day back at work and Gavin's first full day at day care. I attempted to ween he and I both on to the routine early this week so that today wouldn't be so hard. In hind sight, that was like peeling the band-aid off slowly vs. the quick rip!

Monday I dropped Gavin off for an hour...I was in pretty good spirits but needed to call Scott and my Mom for support....just a few tears. Wednesday I dropped him off for about three hours....bawled my eyes out before I could even get out the door...the teacher had to give me a hug, and my hair-cut lady gave me a glass a wine while she did my hair to relax me! Thursday I dropped him off for two hours while I went to an eye appointment. He and I did just fine...no tears on my end that is. So, I thought today would be easy, especially since Scott was doing the drop. Well, Gavin was such a sweetie this morning. He was so cuddly when he woke up, so happy all morning...smiling and laughing all the way out the door with his Daddy. Mommy cried before the boys got out the door...then my Dad called me and I could hardly speak to him. Thanks for the call, Dad! I really appreciate you checking on me this morning and crying with me! :) I was able to get a little of eye make-up on. Why? So I could cry it off in the car and when I got to work. Kelly (my Director), thanks for the big hug this morning!
