Lisa it's your birthday...Happy Birthday, Lisa...

ah, The Simpsons.  Thank you for making it so easy to serenade me on my birthday...

Today I turn 31.  It was a pretty crappy day (not as crappy as my 30th, which was in the middle of the big snow storm last year and our roof started leaking that day), but still pretty sucky.  Marc is sick and the kids were just rotten.  I made myself some gluten-free cupcakes.  Seamus picked blue icing and Sofia picked pink, so I decided to swirl them.  Kind of looks like a cotton candy cupcake!

Pig tails and tables

So, this evening the girls wanted pig tails, and then wanted to get on the dining room table...in their underwear.  Sigh...we're in for trouble!

Monthly Rally Time!

Tonight we had our monthly team rally for our Slumber Parties team.  We are at a new location this year, a private room at a diner.  As always, it was a LOT of fun, some great information was learned by all.  I love cheering on our gals who are doing so well!

Ginger ale makes everything feel better

So, what started out as Seamus with a fever end with me and a stomach bug.  Blech!  Needless to say, all I had today was ginger ale. 

My sick little boy

Seamus was feeling so badly today, he fell asleep on the couch.  Poor guy had a 103 degree fever.  :(

That's some serious crack

Sofia pretended to fall asleep at the dinner table. 

Bad parkers drive me nuts

When I pick Seamus up from school, I park the van across the street in the parking lot by the pool.  Many parents, myself included, back in to the spots so it's easy to pull out and not have to worry about hitting a child when it's time to go home.  This woman in particular DRIVES ME NUTS!  She gives all woman drivers (and parkers) a bad name.  I can count on one hand the number of times she has actually made it between the lines.  I mean, REALLY, is it THAT difficult to pull back out so you can straighten the van?  And this isn't even that bad compared to other times.  I have seen her frequently completely straddle the line. 

However, thank you bad driver for backing in because now I don't have to worry about you hitting a kid when you leave, because you OBVIOUSLY don't know how to use your mirrors.
