Test Test...

Hello Bloggers... I was just checking out my old blog and I am sad to report that it is still here. Empty and boring. I am so busy that I never have the time or energy to blog or even share my wit with anyone who checks this. I am well and the boys and warden are well, too.

Blowing the Dust Off!

I haven't blogged in a while! Life has been happening too fast, to remember to take a second and record some of the funnies! So here are the funniest five things to happen lately:

1. The littlest monkey sat on the potty the other day and went pee pee on and around it.
2. My oldest asked me why daddy doesn't change his name to Mr. Andrea.
3. (Not too funny) But, I ran into someone I know, who I hadn't seen in a while and commented on how big her son had gotten, only to be told it wasn't her son, but her fiancé!
4. I will be participating in my first 5k in April!
5. My sweet sister in law and I were at church and when she went up for a blessing the lights in the church went out!

This is what we have been up to!

I am way to young for this...

Not really.

What I am referring to is I am officially a mother of a school aged child. That's right, not a preschooler, a school aged child.

It is so weird. I remember my kindergarten teacher and now my little man has one too. And she is adorable and younger than me. It's really crazy. We are nine days in and so far so good. I feel okay about our school, still a little anxious, but okay enough to keep sending him.

I have been enjoying my time with just the little one at home, so that keeps me a little less crazy than I could be.

I worry of course about silly things that I can not control, like who he befriends, how others will treat him, I especially worry about what they are not teaching him. I knew that this milestone would come and also that it would come quickly, but DAMN!, it really did fly by.

Another small step for us as a family and many more to come, but I still can't believe it!

Like Mother Like Son...

Well Summer 2011 has started in our home, this week, and let's just say it has started with two trips to the doctor. One for baby and one for me. Let's just say that when one thing happens around here another is usually quick to follow. We are fine just matching ear infections, who says mom and son can't ever have matching anything?

We are fine, just a crazy crazy rant. I also wanted to make sure the ol' blog was still in place.

Happy Summer Everyone.....

OK, he's ready, but am I?

This week I had our little guy's 4 year old preschool conference and it went well. He seems to be doing well and thriving academically and socially. Which is FANTASTIC and I should be beaming with joy, right? Well, it was great until Ms. Teacher said "He's definitely ready for Kindergarten". That's when the DJ stopped and I started to zone out. My little monkey? Kindergarten? How? Who says he's ready? Can't I just swaddle him up and keep him home FOREVER? I realize school doesn't start until August, but its a lot closer than we think. I guess I'll just have to get used to the idea and give thanks for how far we have come. I am so proud of him and proud of the warden and I, we seem to be doing a good job with this whole parenting thing, if the teacher says our little student is ready for the "BIG SHOW".

Stay tuned for more milestones....

The Fighter, in one word, AWESOME!

Yes, I am the biggest sucker for Mark Wahlberg films. But, this one was a little different. I walked into his newest one, The Fighter, without any idea of what to expect. I was just hoping that it wasn't like a corny Rocky. And I was so impressed with all of the acting, Christain Bale, Amazing!!!, Amy Adams, Great!!!, Melissa Leo, Fantastic!!! and Mark Wahlberg, his character just broke my heart, and he was so good.

This movie was more about how effed up families are and how much power they play in our lives no matter what we do to defy their intentions. The music was amazing too and so much part of the movie, my favorite was definitely the use of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's "Strip My Mind" and hell Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" gave me chills..Crazy.Crazy.Crazy.

Take your husband, boyfriend or lover because this is so good.

In the words of Ralphie's teacher this is an A plus plus plus plus!

5 out of 5
Two Thumbs Up

Go see it and definitely enjoy it!

~Oh yeah, and if ever given the opportunity, I will leave my husband for Mark Wahlberg, he is that FINE!(Just Kidding Honey...(No, I am not))

Fall is finally here....

It's about time, I had to blow the dust off my jeans and treated myself to two new pairs, too. They have just been sitting in my closet waiting to be worn. I have been excited because the last time I wore jeans, they had a BIG elastic panel on them. Those jeans are long gone hopefully holding up someone else's baby belly up.

I am currently getting ready for a garage sale with high hopes of unloading a lot of baby things. I feel good about getting rid of this stuff, but I am wondering if I will get "weird" the day of the sale when someone walks away with my babies' things? We'll have to see....

I only have a minute to blog, but that's what's worth reporting.
