Up until recently I haven't blogged since about Aug. of 2007 (This was my favorite New Year Resolution, what other resolution allows you to sit on your arse and gab?). I realized that a bunch of my family and friends who I severely neglect read this blog (or atleast they tell me they do, prolly so I won't pull the ol' guilt trip that women in my family are so famous for). So for loved ones and perfect strangers who have been reading my blog, here's what's been going on here on my island (I mean that metaphorically and literally) since Aug. 2007...A little ketchup if you will...
Lily started 3rd grade and Savannah started 1st grade, both have received nothing but As and Bs so far...my little baby geniuses, they got that from me. See, I'm smart enough to know not to be modest about being smart. Ok, that sentence just made me dumber.
Lost another one to Zac Efron...
Our beloved cat Clyde, the ugliest yet coolest cat ever, passed away in September. She is missed greatly. Yes she, no wonder she always looked pissed, if I had been named Clyde I'd have a scowl on my face 24/7 too. My grandpa thought she was a boy, honest mistake.
But now we have a new troublesome duo...Charlie & Lola...yes like the Disney show, I must turn that tv off before I name my next child Earl in hopes that he/she might have great kharma.
Iturned DUM DUM DUM...29. I got a princess crown and a mini Reeses cup cake to make me feel better. It worked.
Oh, and a bottle of Elvis wine. Elvis is my king...
My children morphed into Spiderman, Dorothy and Barbie Princess for Halloween, all of which have not so appealing co-stars which for some odd reason bothered quite a bit. Hopefully next year I won't have a Kirsten Dunst, flying monkey and Ken...
Yes, she is wearing my birthday crown...no she did not drink as much as I did when wearing it.
I finally got glasses
We had Thanksgiving and Christmas because, sure enough, they came again last year...
In case you didn't notice, the little brunette is not my Lily, it is actually my sister Sarah, who is younger than both my daughters. Didn't I mention earlier that I had family stories that fell right out of a soap opera? Example #1...
After Thanksgiving dinner my daughter Savannah and my sister Sarah created THE BIGGEST BUBBLE BATH EVER
And then Savannah done me proud and showed me that she inherited her momma's icy "if you don't get the frick outta my face I'm gonna kill you dead" stare...the pride I felt that day was like none other I tell ya.
My cousin schooled my son on the art of carpet wrestling Christmas Eve. ahhh I love those classic Holiday Traditions.
Impatiently awaiting Santa's arrival...
Impatiently awaiting Santa's arrival over Christmas Eve dinner...
My husband and my father in law...yes, piss me off and I'll have you whacked.
Myself and my stunning 76 year old grandma, yes these are the genes that I have to look forward to....neener neener neener
And now it is January, the Buckeyes lost the Championship but my kiddos still love them. Their father and I have decided not to teach them the importance of being a sore loser atleast for a few more years...
