happy 50th ba ba lorinda!
Hard at work the night before on Baba's Bday card...
It was a wonderful evening! Jeni brought her alaskan salmon and halibut, I encrusted it in macadamia nuts and topped it with mango paypaya salsa. brandon bbq'd the salmon with hawwaian soyvay! yum (i think everyone enjoyed it..i dont eat fish). but my mom made a mean tropical salad and brought hawaiian rolls!! rockin!!
Brandon made a hearwarming speech, (tears and all from ba ba) we danced to jimmy buffet and loius prima, drank lots of champagne, ate cake, and everyone was happy. it was nice.

too many pictures...
so little time...
aahhh. i must say its been nice doing something with all the random pictures i take daily. Coming soon... swim lessons, park outings, ba ba lorinda's 50th, ..waiting to be downloaded. but i still havent finished harry potter.
Also, this morning i called jeni and karen too early and woke both of them up. and if they werent up yet, nobody else would be either. So i was thinking i needed a friend on the east coast to call (time difference) and chat over my cup of coffee and cartoons with. early in the morning is my only time to really do any chatting...before the breakfast maddness and finding lost shoes. anyways...It took at least an hour for it to occur to me...i know someone on the east coast. very well actually. adam. so i called him and said hello and said..youll be hearing more from me more often now. we chatted about jimmy buffet and battlestar galactica or something like that.

just one day
most days i would die for just five minutes of peace. even when im taking a shower i can hear them banging on the door
"mom, avery has the lotion" or
"mama pee pee peee..MOM!!! PEEE PEEE in tiolet!!!"(funny how the only time he decides to go on his own is when the door is locked).
But today i woke up in an empty house, which has happened once or twice, but on these occasions i was ridiculously hung over from some sort of festivity from the evening prior, hence the reason my children were not home. And, might I add..one of them always ends up coming back overtired and cranky at around 11:00 the next day, ready for lunch and a nap.,,which they fight till the death for.
anyways....today was different. i wasnt hung over. i slept in till 900 (this is really late for me..even before the kids came into play) im a morning person.
so, i got myself all curled up on my couch to read the ever awaited harry potter.(actually..this time, i didnt even know the release date) man...i feel like i have aged 10 years since the last one. i love harry. it takes me into this magical place. im all about that more than ever now. No serious literary crap (i dont mean it like that! im just too retarded anymore to escape into real books) just me and harry and the deathly hallows..aaaaahh!! just to let my mind drift off into this magical place. makes me feel young again...like when i read the very first chapter of book #1.
alas...my brain is shot. i cant just sit and read through a harry potter book in one sitting anymore. I get up..i pace the house,i worry needlessly, i swiffer, i call my kids, i worry some more, i check my email, i empty the dishwater..yadda yadda..
And .. within a couple hours of silence.. i start to miss them. i miss the cute little voices calling my name. i miss the little laughs and all the cute little things. And now im off to a wedding... and i miss them terribly. so much i think im a little depressed.
so much for a well needed day off. man..im nuts! maybe im not done having babies quiet yet. (another dilusional thought that comes to mind when one is faced with too much unexpected and well needed silence)
