small things...

Before i made it to work today my son and I had the following conversation at blockbuster:

Ry - hey, mom.
Me - yeah.
Ry - I know why you MAKE me drop off the movie. (mind you it just goes in the slot).
Me - why?
Ry - Because I am the fastest person in the house. The rest of you would take FOREVER.
Me - *smiling* Yeap, you are right. Thank god we have you to run around for us.

*Apparently, new shoes work wonders, and make you fast.
Do any come with super-powers??

Pyper is 18! Watch out World, she is coming for you!

Dear gawd we made it kid!!  18!  Do a dance, break out the drinks!   You were born wild and smiling.   I never knew how much I wanted to be a mom, until I was one.   Ry, even despite his health issues was an easy baby compared to this girl child of mine.  I tell people I think God was drunk when he handed out kids to me and Lance.  Like - did he really know what he was doing, it's all questionable, even today.  You were born to light up a room with your mischievous smile and warm eyes that capture a soul with a glance.  I've seen her dad melt the moment she walks into a room.   Even to this day, her father seems mesmerized by her at times.   And I find myself screaming - NO, don't look at her, she is in TROUBLE.   DO NOT look at her and her pretend sad face.     He thinks she hangs the moon and the stars, and, in his world, she wants to - even to this day.   They are t...

No going back.

My heart is heavy, my emotions are on overload. Will this EVER stop? Yesterday, I spoke with an employment law attorney. Today, I spoke with the EEOC to file a complaint. This afternoon, I am being spoken to by some upper mngt , so they can provide me with the level of discipline action that has been set in place. um.... Discipline for what? We will soon find out. Funny how when the meeting happened to discuss 'me' I was not allowed to attend. Funny how when a male counter part was spoken too and disciplined, he was allowed to attend, speak and defend himself. Funny how a special meeting was held off site in order to speak with a another male counter part in order to discuss with him how inappropriate his language was towards women during his senior staff meetings. The held the special meeting in order to avoid having an open discussion. Funny how is am being disciplined less than 60 days after a formal complaint was filed against one of the men speaking to me today. Which ...

Swimsuit.

Here is the headline in my house - Happily Married Man, found with a swimsuit mag. crammed down his throat. :) For the last 3 years I have had swimsuit issues. Year 1, I was pregnant, Year 2 - just had a baby, Year 3 - this is year 3 and still carrying and extra 10lbs. Don't get me wrong I had swimsuit issues prior to having kids, but my issues have gotten worse with each passing year. This year has been no different. I ordered 3 suits and they arrived in the mail. I tried them on last week and allowed Lance to voice his opinion. Mind you, all 3 suits are now are their way back to the respective vendors. We are back at square one. So last night, while Pyper is in the bathtub, I continue my search for the 'perfect' suit. I am flipping thru the pages, torn over whether or not to attempt a 2 piece. Whatever suit is chosen must contain padding - these boobs are sad these days. So sad that Lance has asked me 3 times now if I want a boob job. The answer is no. I don...
