Free to be ME!!

Today was the best day. It didn't start out so well stepping on the scale at my doc office, but quickly turned into one of the best days ever. I went swimming at my sister's house for a bit and enjoyed some good food off of her grill. She got such a kick out of watching the babies in the water. They put on quite a show!

Mamaw and Papaw took Victoria to Vincenes for the night last night and I got to share the house with the little ones. I enjoyed it. Mom offered to watch the babies for me tonight and I called James folks to see if I could interest them into watching Victoria for the night again so that I could hang out with Leslie by myself. They agreed and I sat in the car on the way home from Mom's house in complete shock! I don't think that I have had a night out with a friend alone since I have had the babies that I can remember. I drove home as fast as I could safely drive and called Leslie with the good news.

I didn't know what I wanted to do with my time so I left it up to Leslie. I have NO CLUE what cool people without children do anymore. I showered and enjoyed actually putting product in my hair along with ...........oooooooooooh..................aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..........MAKEUP!!! It took me a minute to figure out how that mascara wand worked again. It has been a while. I met up with her at Simplicity to see what they have done with the new salon. We drove downtown to 4th street and ate at The Pub. I cracked up at the men wearing kilts serving us. We enjoyed an appetizer of fried pickles and split an order of fish and chips.

After dinner she lead me to 21C. This hotel/art museum in downtown Louisville. It was the coolest thing that I have been in. They had all kinds of video art exhibits and I actually freaked out when I accidentally stepped on a couple sleeping on the floor. They had a place on the floor painted white and had a video projected down on the floor of a couple sleeping. They would shift and fluff their pillow and just lay there sleeping it was so cool! Another exhibit was a waterfall of letters on the wall leading to the elevator from another projector. They just showered down until you walked in the path of the video. When your shadow hit the wall the letters would bounce off of your shadow as if you were blocking the path. I have no clue how they achieved this but I stood there amazed for quite a bit. I even held up my hand and caught a letter T and held it with my shadow.

The exhibits were really neat and off the wall subject matters but the best part was the bathroom. In the hallway leading up the bathroom were different mirrors, I noticed but didn't think anything about it. When we walked into the bathroom I realized that the mirrors were 2-way mirrors. In the men's bathroom apparently the urinal is up against the wall directly under the 2-way mirror. So when the guys are doing their "business" they are watching everyone look at the art exhibits, or people checking themselves out and fixing their makeup in the mirror. It cracked me up! In the ladies room they had about 15 randomly placed LCD TV screens about 3 inches wide playing videos of eyeballs looking around as if they are just checking out the bathroom behind you.

The mascot of 21C is this red plastic penguin. It is about 2 1/2 foot tall and they are everywhere. We had it explained to us by a friend of mine that worked the front desk that they are encouraged to move them as they pass by one. My friend Jason took one and placed in the doorway of one of the rooms with it's beak touching the door so that when the occupants wake in the morning they will open their door to find a penguin just hanging out right outside their door waiting to greet them. He said that he has even placed them in unoccupied rooms in the shower and placed a shower cap on them. It was so cute. I am going to have to go back because they change the art work every 6 months. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!

We topped off the night with Krispy Kremes (as you can tell I wasn't worried about that number on the scale sitting in the drive thru) I haven't had that much fun in a long long time. It was great to just let down my hair, without worrying about someone pulling on it with tiny little fingers, and just being Kelly. It was a much needed break! I <3 Mondays!!

Time for a "Face" lift

I have posted earlier that I have been praying for a clear answer if now is the time for me to attend the Faces of Christ retreat at country lake. I have had friends attend and they have come back changed and renewed. I remember going to join them on what I guess they would call family night and pray with them. It just seemed like a really powerful experience.

This past week after filling out my paperwork and gathering information on scholarship information. My buddy Leslie called to inform me that the money has been taken care of and that her sister Jodi Harris is lovingly watching Victoria till James gets home the weekend of the retreat. Apparently there has been a secret "Let's get Kelly to Faces of Christ retreat fund" that has been going on behind my back. I am so humbled by this gesture. Apparently this is the time that God has appointed me to go to the retreat. I can't wait!

Leslie you are one of the best friends that I have ever had. I had no clue when you moved to the hair station next to me at Macy's how much of an impact you would have on my life. I don't know where I would be without you. You are an amazing soul. I can't wait for the retreat!

Fine dining

Mommy's little man excited about his new toy!

After Addison spotted the apples and granola she didn't

much appreciate the fact that Mommy was stalling breakfast

to take yet ANOTHER picture!

Today the babies got a surprise of eating in the high chair. Addison enjoyed sitting in it for a bit last night when it was delivered, but Anthony was asleep through the whole delivery process. This morning I grabbed him first to show him what mommy got him and what it was used for. He looked thouroughly confused, but interested. He accepted his new toy as soon as he saw Mommy open up a jar of apples with granola. He started smiling then! They loved it. I have to admit that I did too. I got to feed them while sitting on the couch. It was so much more comfortable than the floor with a bouncy seat propped up against a wall for stability. I feel like we are living in the modern world now.

That has a little bite to it

Today Addison has been very affectionate! I love that she has started giving kisses. What I don't enjoy is the use of her choppers at the end of the kiss. I sit here typing with a bite mark on my cheek. She is up to 5 teeth now and boy does she know how to use them!

I have realized that I am going to have to start researching car seats. They will turn 10 months in just a few days. That means we are only 2 months away from that first birthday. Could it be? I get teary eyed thinking about it, and it isn't from the bite mark on my cheek. This leads up to my newest addition of baby equipment.....a high chair is on the way tonight! Hooray! I am buying one from a mother of the twins club here in Louisville. I can't wait to use it. She is even going to be in the area and is going to deliver it to me tonight. I have been feeding the babies in their bouncy seats and bumbo on the floor and let me tell you about 2 spoonfuls into dinner I can't feel my legs up to my hips. It takes me 20 minutes to get up off of the floor. Not to mention the fact that Addison about bottoms out her bouncy seat. Ahhh Mommy's little pork chop.

Shop till ya drop

Today I burned 1500 calories trying to dress Anthony to go grocery shopping. Mom put it best saying that trying to dress Anthony is like trying to dress a helicopter.

Today was a big milestone for my babies. Mommy finally made the leap and went grocery shopping without the infant seats. Mom and I grabbed the cart covers and strapped them in. It had to of been one of the cutest things that I have ever seen. Addison loved it she could see everyone so well and interact and Anthony just stayed serious as always until he started to get sleepy. He slowly started to lean over on Mommy's purse hiding his thumb sucking under his diaper.

Grandma don't forget the Ranch Dressing

The clever hiding of the thumb. "Mom are you about done yet?"

Souls and Smores

MONDAY!!!!! Love them. Leslie surprised us with dinner of marinated pork chops and chicken and this amazing spinach dip and Hawaiian bread. Smores were the main course though. I plugged in my fondue pot that Travis and Marlina got us and we were set. Have you ever had marshmallows dipped in melted chocolate rolled in graham cracker crumbs? Yummy!



We watched Dane Cooks new DVD and Anchorman and laughed till our sides hurt. When the night came to a close we sat on the swing outside and got into a deep conversation about the study that Southeast is doing called Heaven. She was sharing with me the things that she had learned so far about how personal and amazing that Heaven is going to be. I think I am going to join her tomorrow and continue on with the rest of the study.



She is going to the faces of Christ retreat in July. I have been praying about it and praying for the ability to go. I have had many friends that have been and talked about what a life changing experience it is. I feel like I am starting to come to terms with where I am in life. I am becoming more content with not working outside of the home and this beautiful weather that we have been having is helping us get out of the house more and not feel so trapped in a tomb. I feel like I am embracing my role as a mother more and appreciating all that comes with it. I feel a healing take place and a lengthening of my fuse. :) I feel really ready to get even closer to God and find even more peace. I feel like God is leading me to do this. I am just needing everything to fall into place with the kids not having mommy to watch them along with financially responsibilities. I hope that things work out... fingers crossed.

Mongomery Gentry

Tonight James and I got the opportunity to go to go to the Mongomery Gentry concert at Ceasers. Don't worry I gave him strict instructions to not talk to anyone on the elevator named Shaggy!!! His mom won tickets at work and handed them to us to use. We invited Melissa and Jerry to go with us. They desperately needed a night out (they have 4 children) too.

Mom and Dad came and picked up the kiddos and also brought a life time supply of formula and diapers. I have the best parents ever! Dad applied for a Target card to get an extra discount on the formula and had some coupons that I gave them too. They walked in with two cases of diapers and 14 cans of formula. I wish that I still had my storage shower to house them in. Dad says "This should last you until their birthday" How amazing is he? Mom drops the case of diapers down with a look of "This should last you a week!"

The kids are pack up in Grandma and Grandpa's car and they head off. Shortly thereafter Melissa and Jerry arrive and we head to the buffet at Ceasers. Food was great as always. Melissa and Jerry had never been to the boat so we gave them a tour. Melissa and I put about 30 dollars in the machine between the two of us and we headed out to the concert that had been postponed on a count of rain. ( I am sure that Ceasers made enough money to pay for the concert on the boat in that hour delay). The concert was great. It was outside in the parking lot and they had a really nice set up. Much better than I imagined with it being a "parking lot concert" They sounded amazing and I didn't realize how many songs of theirs that I liked. They played She don't tell me to. I love that song.

We left the concert and made friends with a REALLY drunk great grandma that took a liking to me and I couldn't get her to let go of my hand in the heard of people leaving the concert. It all started with me saying that I got a kick out of watching her dance during the show. She responded with "I was dancing???" That should of been my cue to leave. I couldn't get rid of her. I finally got her to let go of my hand so that I could cling to James's arm asking him to save me!!

We still had some energy left so we went to see Get Smart. LOVED IT! I am such a huge fan of Steve Carell. Plus it had The Rock in it. Can you go wrong? We had a ball! Great night out. My cheeks are still hurting from all of the laughter.

Too cool for this pool

"Huh??"

I needed one of those hats myself the sun was so bright.

I just don't know if I could of pulled off that look as

well as they did.

"Kick you feet Bubby it feel really cool on your toes!"

Today I finally got daddy motivated to make the drive up to Salem to my sister's pool. He misses so many firsts I have been waiting for a time when he was home to take them for their first dip. It is hard sometimes to get him out of the house when we get a chance to do something he would rather poke his eyes out than get behind the wheel of a car. I have to say I don't blame him. Unfortunately my sister and her family was camping at Holiday World and missed it. I would of rather been swimming with them there. The lazy river rocks! The water was cold but it didn't seem to phase them at all. Anthony just stared with his usually expression of observation and Addison screamed in laughter the whole time. Her happy scream is kinda like a dolphin that got poked in the butt with a stick and ends with a "Da Da Da Da" in an octave that only Mariah Carey could hit. It is so funny. What makes the scream is that her eyebrows go up over her forehead to the back of her scalp. She screamed at me when I put her in then she screamed at Bubby and everyone else in the pool. She loved it! Bubby learned how to do raspberries thanks to daddy. I am sure that is going to come in handy for him when I am feeding him peas. That is OK I have no problem picking up my phone and calling daddy in Cleveland with peas covering my face. He will get an ear full if that happens. :)

Victoria's holiday

She looks like a rabid pit bull devouring her taco. I had to set this on my background. I also get this look if I try to take her yogurt away before she is done.

She even got a new bathing "soup" for the occasion

I wish I could print the sound she makes when she describes how fast this roller coaster goes.

Victoria went with Grandma Harb today to Holiday World. She loved it. She rode the roller coaster for kiddos 7 times and loved the spinning turkeys. Mom said all she saw all day long with piggy tails dancing and smacking her in the face as she ran from ride to ride.

Mom on the other hand enjoyed a day of rest and relaxation and POGO playing thanks to Felecia. She has me hooked. My eyes are crossing and I can't bend my fingers. But I had a ball and earned 35,000 tokens. (that and a dollar will get me a pack of gum)

Hooray shots!!!!!

Today was Victoria's big day at the doctor's office. I wanted to make sure that she was current on her immunizations and that she was healthy all the way around. She got really excited that we were at the doc for her and not the babies. She kept saying all day " I am going to the babies doctor"

Once she got into the room she was given a hospital robe with fish on it. She immediately went into "HERE FISHY FISHY FISHY" from Sesame Street. They pricked her finger and took a urine sample. She like the finger prick because she sees Papaw do that all of the time to check his sugar. She got a band-aid and all, which is such a huge thing for a 4 year old.

When they were done with the exam Dr. Wilbur asked if I wanted to do the immunization that she needed for school today or wait for another year when she would be enrolling. I gave Victoria the option and without hesitation she opted to take the shots today. I am floored! So was the doc. She was excited and singing "Hooray Shots!" The doctor and I just looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders. She ran out to get the nurse before she changed her mind.

The nurse came in and turned Victoria around and leaned her back on the table to hang her legs off of the edge of the bed. Victoria started to get a little nervous but handled it like a champ. I was so proud of her.

We left there and went to Target (no bread in the parking lot) and got her a prize for her bravery. She picked out a Hannah Montana dry erase marker board and we ate a hot dog and nachos at the cafe. (A Target date) We had a great time and of course she showed everyone that she passed that she got shots at the "babies doctor"

Monday mystery

Well Monday is here again. Mondays I love them. I decided that I would surprise Leslie and take her to the drive in to see Don't mess with Zohan. I teased her all day long calling her and saying "It is 12:00 do you know what you are doing tonight?" I told her that she needing to bring a whole list of random things to throw her off. She was to bring, shorts, black flip flops, sweatpants, fabulous earrings, gloves, a picture of herself, a cup, pillow and leave Shepard at home. I had her all confused. I enjoyed it.

We headed to Georgetown and got a good spot because there was about 12 cars there on a Monday evening. I set up the back of the car with blankets and snacks for Victoria and the babies and had our front row seats set up for Leslie and I. I tried to watch the movie in between the bathroom breaks for Victoria and I, Addison teething and Anthony trying to watch the movie and sleep and watch Kung Fu Panda on the front screen. He was very torn. I laughed when they played the 7 dwarfs Hi Ho song and Anthony started doing the head bob that him and daddy did the night earlier. Leslie enjoyed the surprise and apparently is planning a surprise Monday for us this coming week. She is already sending me messages saying..."It is Tuesday afternoon do you know what you are doing on Monday?"

Happy Father's Day

Victoria came running into our bedroom with Brooklyn to give daddy his fathers day gift. We covered a Similac can with pics of her and daddy together so that daddy can use it to keep his spare change in the semi. Brooklyn brought a stack of coloring pages that she made for daddy. We decided to go to the drive in to watch Kung Fu Panda. I asked mom if she would like to go and she said that she would think about it. I decided to call her while Addison was screaming and crying (her teeth) and told her that she was crying so hard because I just told her that Grandma Harb isn't coming tonight. Worked like a charm, she was at our house within an hour ready to go.

James had rough week this week. His father's day weekend started with a seat belt violation and a long long week working. Our oldest decided the her social life was more important than family on this father's day weekend and threw a pool party for her friends. Needless to say it put a damper on the "family time". We headed to the drive in around 7:00 when we normally get there on the weekends. Well the gate was closed and locked and no sign of anyone in the ticket booth. I walked past the gate and up the concession stand to find one of the workers. She told me that they probably wouldn't open the gate until 8:30. We all kinda stared at each other and wondered what to do with the extra hour and a half that we found ourselves with. We were quickly provided with something to do, FIX MOM'S FLAT TIRE! Apparently mom's valve stem had dry rotted and her tire wasn't holding air at all. So my loving husband got to change a tire on Father's day. Hooray for him! He was wonderful and had it fixed in about 5 minutes.

We made our way back to the drive in and enjoyed a very funny movie. It is going to be one to buy when it comes out. Anthony started to show us his dance moves. He has become a head banger. Him and daddy danced to the music while we waited for the show to start. I am goin to have to get some video of it. Our little "Boogie Bear" is turning into a boogie man.

Mommy's little entrepreneur

Today is the big day we are officially having a yard sale.... and people are coming. Victoria is so excited. Earlier today she wanted to go over the the neighbor's house to say hello. I let her go and she came back with a Batman wallet that she talked the neighbor into buying her for a quarter. I explained to her that we don't go over to other people's houses and have them buy us stuff. After the conversation I enjoyed watching her play "yard sale" with all of her toys opening and closing her wallet to pretend that she was paying for merchandise. About an hour or two later a girl came up and was making her purchases and saw Victoria's wallet. She went nuts (she was a VERY retro type of girl) she asked Victoria if she was selling that wallet because she loved it. Victoria said "SURE!" When asked how much she wanted for it she said "$7.00" The girl laughed and said "How about a dollar?" Victoria said OK and took the dollar. I couldn't believe my eyes! Did my little girl just con someone into buying her something for a quarter and then turn around and sell it for a dollar?!?!? Ha tell me the girl isn't smart! About an hour after that our neighbor came over to check out our baby clothes. Victoria met them at the end of the driveway. They chatted for a bit and Victoria came to meet me at the swing. She leaned over and spoke quietly out of the corner of her mouth "Don't worry I didn't' tell her that I sold that wallet!"

One person's trash is another's treasure and one persons obstacle course is anothers purchases.

Today after bible study I headed over to Mamaw and Papaw's house to drop off Victoria so that Grandma Harb and I could concentrate on the babies at their 9 month check up....that is soooo hard to believe. Where did the time go? While heading off to the doctor I caught a glimpse of something that I knew would make Victoria smile. Someone had set a easel out for the trash to pick up. I hit those brakes and within 30 seconds it was mine, well.. Victoria's. She of course loved it.

The babies are growing like weeds. Anthony is now 16 lbs. and Addison is 17 lbs. 4oz. They are both looking great and only had one shot today. They did amazing they didn't even flinch.

After the visit mom and I headed off to Target to get some diapers. Mamaw dropped off Victoria at Target for us and we loaded up and mom placed her last bag in the back of the car and we headed out onto State Street. When the light turned green we took off and heard a strange sound. I glanced in the rear view mirror and saw that my hatch had come open. We had dumped our two cases of cokes in the middle of State Street right at the busiest intersection in New Albany. I pulled over in the next driveway and made my way back to the intersection to grab our Coke zeros. Mom pulled the car around and I started chucking Cokes into the grass because the light changed and people were wanting to get through. I must have been a sight because the first Coke that I threw busted and now there is a Coke sprinkler going off in the grass heading my direction. I got all of the Cokes into the car and mom turned to me and said "MY BREAD!" Seems we were missing more than we thought so back to the Target parking lot we head to see one lone bag in the roadway into the parking lot. A car was heading toward it as we gasped just in time to see him straddle it with his tires and the bread was unharmed. SHEW! This kind of stuff only happens to mom and I.

My Leslie

Few people are blessed to have the friends that I have. Leslie has always been referred to by Victoria as "My Leslie". Today I awoke to a house that had been torn apart by the yard sale monster. James and I took this weekend to get into the closet and weed out the clothes that don't fit. Funny how when you come to terms with the fact that your body isn't the same size how quickly a closet empties itself down to 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. Oh well at least now I can look in my closet and say "Hey all of this stuff fits!" As I gaze at the place that my carpet used to be visible, my phone rang. Leslie was in the area already for our Monday date and wanted to pick up Victoria and have a day with her. She knew that I could get the work done for the day faster without distractions.

Leslie picked her up and told her that she was going to take her and Shepard, her dog, to the park and play. Victoria was beside herself. Later in the day Leslie called to check and see how I was doing and Victoria was in the background telling her not to ruin the surprise that they had. Seems the "Her Leslie" took her somewhere and I would have to see where they went when they got home.

My house was completed and looked incredible! I was so proud! I called to tell them I was done and was getting dinner ready and come on home. Shortly thereafter they came through the door with a Build-a-bear box. Leslie took her to make a bear. Victoria chose a puppy that looked like Shepard and named it Hannah Montana. It was adorned with pink bows on her ears and tail and a white skirt and a Disney princess top. Victoria was beside herself and played with it all night. She had the best day with "her Leslie". Leslie said that she was a model child and was on her best behavior all day.

We ate dinner and watched a little TV and when it was time for Victoria to go to bed she said her prayers and thanked God for her day with Leslie and her new friend Hannah Montana. Leslie and I bonded all night and cried many tears talking about how much we appreciate each other and how God has blessed us so much by bringing each other into our lives. I appreciate her more than I can express. When Leslie and I went to give the babies their night bottle I peeked into Victoria's room to check on her and make sure that she was covered up I saw that she had moved the shelves from her dresser (that I told her could be Hannah's bed) right up against her bed with her favorite blanket that she usually uses to cover herself up, over Hannah's bed. She apparently couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Hannah out of her bed and into hers and was clutching Hannah for dear life. I took Leslie into Victoria's room and told her "You want to see how much that kid adores you?" Leslie was brought to tears.... again. I told her "She will never forget this day." It was one of the sweetest things that I have ever seen.

On a side note Miss Addison Marie has started pulling up this week. We have been waiting for it for a while now. She has taken the brunt of Anthony's developmental streak. She has been Anthony's foot stool, his coffee table and his trampoline. He is always crawling on her when she is propped up on her hands and knees. She hasn't liked this at all! We always know that when we hear her screaming her brother is on her again. Today as I was waiting for Leslie and Victoria to come home I heard bubby grunting. I looked over into the play yard to see Mr. Anthony on HIS hands and knees with sissy pulling up using him as balance. She had her hands on his back rocking back and forth. Anthony just stayed there dumbfounded. He has his empty bottle clutched between his teeth, as he carries most things around while he is crawling. He just stared at me so confused by the situation. Miss Addison on the other hand was SO proud of herself. She just rocked back and forth grinning from ear to ear. It is payback time bubby!

We

Showered with a great family!

I am so excited. After 4 long days of work for my dad and uncles, we now have a shower. I am so excited. Victoria and I got to use it tonight. It feels huge compared to the 1X1 shower in our bedroom. I might even get to shave my legs without bumping my head on the wall. Victoria and I took off to Wal-mart to get a shower curtain and some pretty things for the bathroom. We went with a dark brown curtain with tan, teal, and white circles. It kinda has a retro feel to it. All we have to do is finish the trim work around the tub, which is going to be a job, and do some painting. But for now I am happy I can get clean while standing up. Thank you Dad, Rick and Ra Ro! You are the best!

Walking for Papaw

Today was the Relay Cancer walk in New Albany. I have to be honest I was dreading walking in the heat and dragging everyone out in it. James isn't home and may not be home this weekend and I miss him dearly when I am around his family and he isn't here. After listening to Victoria sing "Chain of food" (no typo) from Aretha Franklin we got into our T-shirts made for the occasion and headed out.

We had a really good time! There were so many people there and so much going on. They had inflatables for the kids to jump in, ice cream, people there doing haircuts and massages for donations and a live band with a DJ. The babies loved watching all of the happenings and of course were adorable in their T-shirts that Mamaw made for them with the colon cancer ribbon on the front and "I am walking for Papaw" on the back. This was the first time that I have participated in the walk. They had the track lined with luminary bags for all of the survivors and loved ones that have lost the battle to cancer. It was very touching to see all of the survivors take the first lap with such pride and accomplishment in their faces. We cheered Papaw on as he made his quarter of a lap before he headed to the tent for some shade. I don't blame him. We took laps for Papaw, Grandma Ragle (we lost her almost 2 years ago, she was Vicki's mom), my Grandpa Jack (lost him several years ago too he was my mom's dad) and a lap for friends of loved ones that are fighting this horrible sickness. It was such a beautiful and sad thing to participate in. I am very glad that I went.

After a few laps I took Victoria down to a fence that was covered in honeysuckle. I have been telling her about growing up and walking down country road eating the honey out of the blooms. I could see Victoria's mind working as I told her this story as she gazed down the hill looking at the flowers. She stopped in her tracks and looked me straight in the eye and said "This is where the bees puke?" I guess I should of held off on the details on where honey comes from a few weeks ago when she asked. She did get a kick out of sucking the honey out of the blooms with mommy though.

Date with Victoria

My mom, God love her, helped out today so that I could make it to the grocery store. I decided to take Victoria with me and get a little one on one time with her. Mom told us not to rush so we took advantage.

We started off the day with a trip to Kohl's to get the babies some new pj's. They are outgrowing them so fast. Addison is wearing her 12 month ones right now. Little chunk! We left Kohl's to head for some lunch. I drove into McDonald's parking lot and Victoria was stunned because we were parking and not going through the drive through (something we always do when the babies are with us). She looked at me and said "Are we.....going in?" She and I skipped into McDonald's and BOTH ordered a Chicken nugget happy meal. We say and giggled and talked the whole time.

After lunch we went to Dollar tree so that she could spend some of her allowance. She bought Grandma Harb a Happy Birthday balloon (her birthday is in Nov) and some toys for herself. Once we were done with groceries we headed home so that I could do some hair.

It isn't everyday that your hairdresser has to get the dishes done in "shampoo bowl" Felicia cracked up as I am flying through dishes so that she could wash her hair for her haircut. Miss Addison again spit up on her mom and we have concluded that she is just going to have to bring a spare change of clothes or we are going to have to provide a poncho for her visits.

I have had a great day today and I wish more days went like this. Thank you Grandma Harb for my date with my daughter.

BTW.. New Victoria word
Apple Garden- She saw Olive Garden advertised tonight as we were eating our PB&J (I know McDonald's and PB&J not the best healthy choices) she told me "That looks good we should go to that Apple Garden place"
