Shameless Plug

He still ain't smoking! I never speak of it but I think it's safe to say now; Tim has officially kicked smoking out of his life. There have been moments where I thought for sure Tim was going to jump in the truck for some Marlboros. How about when the Eagles gave up a win in the last few seconds against the Bears? Curses were strewn from his mouth but no smoke in sight. How about when his painters didn't paint the top of a fence only the sides. Still no smokey smokey. Parties? Bars (McKinney Tavern the true test)? No stinkie smokes and 2 minute trips outside to grab a "butt". It's actually a change for me too. He smells different. I feel like I'm kissing some other man!
But all jokes aside, I'm proud of the love muffin. Thanks Zero Smoke and Howard Stern for recommending it. Thanks Reilly and Megan for putting up with daddy's slight grumpiness. Thanks Tim for taking of yourself like you take care of us!

That's so awesome! Way to go Tim! Now find me a miracle to help my daughter stop sucking her fingers!

Who knew Howard Stern could be such a great influence?
Amy - the way you stop sucking fingers is to cut them off and put them in a bag for the "Finger Fairy" and the next day you get gifts...at least that's what I learned from the Canns.

Mom returns

I'm back from a wild weekend with da' women. We had a blast in Galveston in an incredible house just a block from the beach. It was a welcomed vacation from the incessant chaos that I welcome each day. The kids seemed to have survived as well as love muffin. Although they did run out to my car to greet me as if to say Thank God you're home mom! Lessons Learned: I learned a lot about some of my mommy friends this weekend. Some of it was useful, some not-s0-useful. I learned lots of birth stories, love stories and bathroom idiosyncracies. I learned who's grossed out by bugs, chives, and most things slimy. I learned who likes to drive in the rain and who has to make potty stops because of driving in it. I learned who likes to talk about all things food. But I still don't know why American cheese isn't good for the kids. I learned that vacations are rough on the digestive tract (especially the lower regions). I learned that we all like to lay around in jammies and t shirts and welcome any opportunity to pop the bra straps at the end of the day. I learned that although we're mostly all past thirty, we can still be wearing stuff to hold our teeth strait and when you do you sound like my 2 year old with a binky in her mouth. And lastly I learned that moms, no matter where we come from or how we grew up we take care of each other and we never grow tired of birth stories and baby bragging and love stories. And I look forward every time I see my friends to learn more.
