Payton's school playground is covered with dandelions. (And those spiky brown balls that fall from the trees and really really hurt when a sneaky little 4 year old classmate of your daughters hurls one at your face.) On our way to the car, Payton has to pick one and make a wish. Every. Single. Day.
Today she was looking for the fuzziest dandelion while I chatted with another preschool mom. As we said our good-byes, I walked toward Payton and I overheard her wish.
"I wish I would stop snoring every night."
I plucked up one of those fluffy weeds and very quickly wished (begged) "I wish Brad would stop snoring every night."

January 30th (4 days late)
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ELLIE!
I am late. I'm so sorry Ellie-Bean. Thankfully you can't read yet.
(For anyone who is wondering, no, I did not forget her birthday, I just forgot to blog about it!)
She had a wonderful day. We went to Rosemary's for their yummy grilled sandwiches and delicious sundaes with The Alcorn's.
I can't believe our youngest is 3 already! She is feisty, that's for sure, but she is so damned lovable too. She is so incredibly smart and so incredibly girly. We love you El!
dumps
No, not poop. Though a lot of my life seems to revolve around poop. Or toots. Please tell me all other mother's of preschoolers/toddlers can relate. Hell, probably all married women can relate. If not, well, shit, that's just gross. Speaking of toots though, last night Ellie was riding her new Dora scooter from our house to Julie and Jason's house for a delicious pizza dinner. She was tooting with every swing of her leg. It was quite funny. Scoot and toot.
Ok, so the real dumps I am talking about are the dumps I have been down in this past week. Thankfully it appears the clouds have parted and the sun is making it's way through and I am back on the upswing. Thank goodness. I don't do well in the dumps.
Without the boring details....in the past week my yukon was broken into and basically disassembled, Ellie got her second ear infection which means no sleep, and work has come to a screeching halt and I am wondering where I might end up in the near future. All that aside, the worst part is that I pretended to be responsible for a day or two and canceled my Vegas trip. So sad about that one. I was really looking forward to it. There will be more opportunities for lewd behavior and crappy expensive drinks in the future, I guess.

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY PAYTON!
I made cupcakes for Payton's class and for her pizza dinner with the family. The two in the middle without the frosting? Those are for Payton. She doesn't like frosting. I think something must be wrong with her!
I cannot believe my little baby is 5 years old. She's amazing! Here is the birthday girl with her little sis. (Ellie was talking to her cousin Joseph. He and his sisters called to sing Happy Birthday to Payton.)
I gave both girls a gift this morning. Ikea has their very own version of the "Snuggie" for kids. https://www.getsnuggie.com/flare/next They were stoked!
Another exciting thing....Payton lost another tooth! But. We don't know when or where! It's just gone! LMAO. We will be writing a letter to the tooth fairy explaining the situation. I bet she still gets a few bucks. :P

Poker Face
I can't end today on such a sucky note, so here is some happy news! We are going to Vegas (just me and Brad) on Valentine's Day weekend! Sharon and Jon are too. Yippee! Staying at the MGM. Now if we can only get Jamie and Dustin to go too. Anyone know a good babysitter? :P
We went 2 years ago and had a blast.....here are some pics. :)

I thought yesterday was monday!
Holy hell. Seriously. Bad day. I don't really have them often. I have bad moments of course, but the string of bad moments from this morning really threw me for a loop. Gotta love breaking out the tears in front of the people you work with. It's hard enough being the only female here, now I am the crazy emotional female.
Issue #1-Computer network problems. Mike is calling me for info that I can only find online and I can't get online. Do you think he accepts that as an answer? Nope. Know what I did? I pulled that mo-fo wireless router right from the computer, plugged in the modem and got it working. Someone else is going to have to deal with the mess I made.
Issue #2-I don't think I blogged about it. My lovely little shithead nephew Kevin thinks it is HILARIOUS that lizards scare the ever livin' crap out of me. I am 30 years old and I have never ever in my life touched a reptile. I don't plan on it now. So, back to the issue. He caught and hid a lizard in my desk drawer. Almost 3 weeks ago! So I have been avoiding my desk. Today I came in, decided that the lizard must be either long gone or dead by now, and started moving 2008 files out in order to fill with 2009's. It was going well until I opened the last drawer and saw the lizard! It saw me and froze, staring at me with it's beady little eyes. I about broke my neck jumping up and tripping over all of the boxes I had on the floor. I called Mike and told him to get his ass in here ASAP. He came in a caught it, thank GOD. Laughing at me the entire time of course. My heart STILL isn't beating right. Can you believe that thing was still alive?
And the Issue that brought on the tears......
Issue #3-Still shaky from the lizard, I was doing paperwork and stapled right through my finger. I mean ALL THE WAY. I have never realized how much a finger can bleed from 2 tiny holes. It's not bleeding anymore, but it's black and blue and purple. Do I need a tetanus shot?
I texted (is that a word?) Brad in the middle of my fit and he brought me McDonald's and a Hershey bar. Screw WW today.

Does anyone know where my camera cord is?
It's really starting to piss me off. I got all excited earlier, thinking I finally found it, but it was the damn ipod cord. I knew I hated Apple.
I have lots of cute Christmas pictures and pictures of the girls haircuts.......too bad I can't share.
