I hate TV

It's so addicting, and usually worthless. Not always, but lately, I don't watch anything of any value. Weaning the kids off of the winter show watching schedule is proving to be difficult. Especially when I'm having a rough day and can't figure out what to do. Blech. Hate it. But don't take it away from me..

more randomness

Aubree has no voice today. She is adorably screechy and gruff when she talks. Why? She was that whiny yesterday!

Ty can count by 10's to 100, with a cute rhyme/song he learned at school.

Ty loves to throw in Spanish words whenever he remembers and then makes up his own Spanish at other times. It's so cute.

Meikee (Blankie) has morphed into mlenkelet, yeah, try and say it, I dare ya!

Spring is in full effect, the bunnies and squirrels are out, the birds chirp and the geese honk. Flowers are popping up and when I look out the window I see the most wonderful spring green. A color I never quite understood before. New growth. It's good lookin' I tell ya.

Have you ever

heard a not quite 2 year old girl say 'wicked awesome'? I have! And it's damn cute. That is Ty and Aubree's favorite thing to say right now. They LOVE it.

Good

Justin took the kids to the local little ice cream shop the day it opened for the season. April 11th, while I was crashed out at home after surgery they all went in a rainstorm and stood in a half hour long line with the rest of Stillwater to celebrate the coming of Spring. LOL

I took them after walking to pick Ty up from Preschool the other day. It was wonderful. This is one of the many reason why I love this town.

So Many Things, So Little Brain

One thing - Wed. on our way to Aubree's class, somehow it came up, and I mentioned that we, our family, are done having babies. No more babies are coming to be with our family. No biggie, that's not news to Ty, it's been mentioned before. That night, he asked for a baby brother! This is a first. He wanted a baby brother like his bestest friend Leah has a little brother and Ty has a little sister. I told him how lucky he was to have a friend who had a 'baby' brother so he could 'borrow' him! LOL

I think there's a hundred more things I want to say, maybe it'll come to me later.

M.I.A.

Hey there folks. I may be MIA for a bit, not sure. I haven't mentioned it yet, but, I'm having surgery on Friday morning. Yes, I'm having the 'girls' made over. I figure I'll be a total stress case tomorrow, and then it's up to the powers that be how my recovery goes. I may be sleeping through the weekend till I can wean off the pain meds. I may not want to post for a week. But I may feel fine! I've got some anti-nausea meds, that should help one aspect. Anyway, I'm preparing for a long recovery - and hoping for an easy one. I've heard horrible stories and piece of cake stories, let's all pray for the latter. Thanks!
