Happy Birthday Halia!!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl! You are such a precious little light in our family! Your cheerful smile always makes us happy! You have just started being quite the little explorer! Yesterday I found you on your tippy-toes, standing on the little potty, pulling things off the bathroom counter. Ahem. You love to watch your crazy brothers playing around and you don't mind being right in the mix of a wrestling match either. We love you so much sweetie!

Monday Monday!

Wellll.....it's that time of the week again!!! This week is most definitely not a special Not Me! Monday edition. It's not because this is also my THIRTIETH birthday either! There's no way I could already be thirty years old??

Hmm, to begin with, I did not spend last week lamenting our one-car-at-the-moment-status. I was not mopey because I couldn't drive anywhere and therefore had to finish my housework, darnit. I also did not start to think about all the things I wanted to accomplish by this "age" and get all melancholy. I know better than that!

I did not lure the dog into her kennel with a new squeaky toy last night. It wasn't because she completely ignored me and all the expensive training she has received lately.

I did not sabotage any thoughts of weight loss and quitting sugar by eating an entire box of Little Debbie Nutty Bars by myself last week. I think Hubby and XMan both had at least one...maybe. I am also not completely, entirely jealous of my buddy's weight loss and exercise success, just in time for her 30th bday! Phooey.

Excuse me while I do not go finish a Coke and another Nutty Bar.....

Happy Birthday Dan!

We love you Daddy!!! Happy 29th Birthday!
