Happy B-day Girls!



This week marks a few birthdays of some of my favorite ladies. My momma turns a year younger today. Happy birthday momma! I wish you tons o' happiness always. We celebrated with the honorable cake and ice cream and lots of crazy grand kids running around. A grandma's favorite way to spend and afternoon I'm sure.
My girl buddy Chris turned a year younger yesterday. We got to celebrate on friday with a surprise trip to the Texas Stampede Rodeo. It was the first ever for my fellow yankee and I think it was a good one. I bet when she was a high haired, leg warmer wearing teenager in Spring Lake New Jersey, she'd never thought one day she'd be sporting a cowboy hat. You've come a long way girl and we're glad you did!! Let's also give a shout out to another Chris. Chris Daughtry rocked us into the night post rodeo. He's come a long way since American Idol. And I'm glad he did!

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.
