My Random Thought about Summer

1. Buying passes to Lagoon was a very good decision on my part.

2. Max said that next summer he'd rather have a pass to Cherry Hill instead of Lagoon because people at Cherry Hill don't say the "f" word.

3. Note to self: Michael needs to do something next summer that keeps him BUSY.

4. One of my favorite things about summer was going swimming with my kids. I witnessed pure happiness when I watched Maggie swim. We call her Maggie Fishy Princess.

5. Despite days of fighting and yelling, I really liked this summer.

6. Having kids keeps me young.

7. My friend Misty wrote a blog about pet peeves. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that one of my biggest pet peeves is seeing an engagement picture with the couple kissing. I think it's pointless. I don't get to see the couples happy faces and I just don't think it's cute. I still can't decide why someone would chose to put those pictures up. (I'm kind of sounding old, aren't I?)

8. Claire is kind of obsessed with my daily routines in the bathroom. She constantly asks if I am going to take a "shawya" or if I need to go to the "basroom".

9. I still consider myself beyond addicted to Words With Friends on my iPhone, sweetuth, if you are up to a good game!

This Is Only A Test

I'm writing this from my iPhone. Thought I'd see if I could really do it.

I don't consider myself attached to many "things" in my life. I value people more than things. But when the entire screen of my MacBook cracked on my BIRTHDAY, I started to cry. I don't have any high expectations of how my birthday should
be but I realized that I had an expectation of how it should NOT be! It should not cost me
$400!!! Now I'm using my iPhone for everything. I'm even attempting
the blog thing.

On a more positive note, I took all five kids to Target AND Toys R Us today. It was the best time killer and no one asked for anything!!!! See, that's a post birthday present!
