Wedgie Salad Bar

What a great idea from Reluctant Entertainer today!

A Wedgie Salad Bar.

Go here to get the details.

Please, no, not the ROMPER!

I was in Walmart today and came across this:
That little girl inside me suddenly yelped in pain at the thought that these could actually be coming back.

Then I though, hey, maybe it's just a Walmart thing, and so I went online and found these:

The only reason I can imagine that the romper would ever come 'round again is if the people that decided this was a good look did not actually live through the period of wearing them in the 70's and 80's.
Needless to say, Jocelyn will NOT be getting a romper for spring.

Miniature Golf

So this last Saturday after running errands and having mini meltdowns, we all needed a little down time. Miniature Golf at Golfland was a great stress reliever for all of us.
Joe had a blast, he was enthusiastic the whole time. Joci had a bit of a hard time until we realized what she really wanted to do was hit it herself, even if she did ask for help.

Jocelyn

Tomorrow morning Jocelyn will go under and have her third set of ear tubes put in. Last time she went under, a little over a year ago, she also had her adnoids out.

I believe everything will be fine, but I am still nervous.

On the grand scale of things, ear tubes is not a big deal.

But, I am still nervous.

She is my baby, and I worry endlessly about her.

My little Lulu.

Remembering Babies

Lately, I have been missing my little babies. Don't get me wrong, we aren't planning on any more, but there are days when I miss this little guy:And I miss this little miss:I miss holding them in my arms and nuzzling their sweet little necks that smelled faintly of the milk they drank. It's sometimes hard to see these kids of mine growing so fast, up and out of my arms, not wanting me to intrude in their lives so much, and starting to question all of my motives behind the things I ask them to do. Where did the time go...
