What a day, what a day. I had just picked up my niece and nephew and had gone back to work to play our volleyball game when, as we were practicing, the tornado sirens went off. We were all shocked, and my first panicked thought is "the kids" and "Madison is by the windows" because the last place I left her at was at the doors where she was ( Read more... )

My nephew and his best friend are right now dancing wildly to Lion King in here. It's adorable and insane. My niece has a Christmas recital in 3 1/2 weeks and she is already very nervous. And this is a girl that loves to be in the limelight. I think she's probably so nervous because they've only learned the 2nd half of the dance tonight and ( Read more... )

Why do people insist on being so rude when all you want is a simple answer?? uuugggg I can't stand rude people. Especially when it is uncalled for. Basically all I did was call my nephews school to find out if he was enrolled. My brother went up there last year to transfer him but we weren't sure if he was actually enrolled. The lady I spoke ( Read more... )

My baby is 6 today! He's been acting very birthday boy bratty for the day but *shrug* he's allowed to. The one time of the year he's allowed to act all spoiled. 8) I just can't believe he is 6. I still remember the first day he came to us when he was only 9 months old.

I'm reading The Mists of Avalon and I am loving it. I was very weary of ( Read more... )

So. Tonight. I had to give my nephew some of the "talk" My 5 1/2 year-old nephew asked me where babies come from. And I have always said that with my own children I will not lie. And from what I hear and what I myself experienced when I was young, I KNOW children learn about it much sooner then we truly believe. No I didn't give him like the ( Read more... )

Yes I was a fool the other day. I went into Hot Topic as usual just to look around. Never intending to buy unless it's something super special. And there sitting in front of the register was a beautiful new Thundercats t-shirt!! But did I get it? Oh no. After finding it, I went on to find many other things I believed I could not live without ( Read more... )

I've been scanning some pictures and had to go through one of the photo albums to find a picture. I got stuck on the toddler pictures of my nephew and now I'm all *sniffle* I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I REALLY miss his toddler years. Not that I don't love these years right now but I know the older he gets the more he'll pull ( Read more... )

My nephew ran into my room this morning shouting, "Erika, it's Saturday morning! It's Saturday morning!" He was the only human awake (alive) when this happened. Where the hell does he come from? I was tempted to say "No fucking duh, it's Saturday morning, now let me SLEEP!!" heeee but I was calm. I was cool. I told him to go bug his Grandma ( Read more... )
