June 12x12

1 Kids being kids. 2 Adam leaving for an interview in NOLA. very exciting. 3 I took this prior to the Mavs victory against the Heat. The city has had Mavs fever for sometime now. Yeah Mavs! 4 I know it is everywhere and is almost a little too trendy to be reading, but after the month I've had I needed a good laugh and Tina Fey doesn't disappoint. 5 With Adam away I pulled out the usual suspects for movie viewing- I opted for Stranger than Fiction. man I love that movie. 6 I probably listen to Joe Purdy "The City" a couple times a day. It seems like the perfect song for driving down the highway with the wind in your hair. It is usually my go to song to help bring me out of a funk. 7 We drove to a local peach farm yesterday for fresh peaches. They are delicious. I was going to freeze some, but they are already gone. 8 Ted and Gene fight like crazy. I should probably break it up, but usually each of them gives as good as they get. Ted will miss this little guy. 9 My favorite flower is a sunflower. 10 This is what happens when kids that have parents that are doctors get together. I'm pretty proud they got it right. Not sure about the basket on Peter's head though. 11 Talk about pill burden. I'm up to 10 pills a day. Good grief. 12 I wish you could see what they are wearing on their feet- Wellies. Being a kid has its perks. You can dress anyway you want! Lulu said they were playing school and it was winter, but I don't quite understand the racket.

Inside my brain

I've been thinking. about what you ask? would you like me to tell you? yes, yes you would.


Hair- I got mine cut a couple of weeks ago. I jumped on the short hair bandwagon. I've looked at myself several times and said "I love my hair." except not in this picture. I look old.


Debit Cards- you see I lost mine. not surprising. I misplace it at least once every couple of months. I will admit that by saying misplaced I'm really trying to skirt any kind of responsibility. I go through the motion. call and cancel and then wait for another to arrive. I always promise to never do it again... at least for a couple of months. of course usually between canceling and waiting for another i find it. tucked inside some pocket or nook.

so you can see why it wasn't all that shocking when I lost it last night somewhere between pumping gas and buying a diet and the grocery. I searched the car, my purse, everywhere. drat. so I called and canceled it... again. but then this morning I discovered it wasn't really lost. it was tucked in my wallet. didn't I look there last night? surely I looked in my wallet. no. I blame Obama. I was looking while listening to him speak on the radio. obviously I was too enthralled to look properly. but the best part- when I called to cancel I gave them the wrong last four digits. instead of canceling mine- they canceled Adam's.



Co-Habitation- that is a little misleading. they have their apartment and we have ours, we just live in the same "house". you see friends from church moved into the top floor of the "house" a couple of months ago. they have a daughter the same age as Lulu. a son a year little older than Ted. and a baby that makes me slightly baby hungry.. until he cries in the car all the way to the zoo. the whole situation is quite possibly perfect. last night as I was leaving a female church gathering Amy said "see you at home". it made me giggle a little. did you know we co-habitated while we lived in NOLA with another married couple? it was a big house. we were lucky it worked out perfectly and we are still the best of friends.


Snow-I know. we have snow. I cannot remember the last time it snowed here. crazy. it only lightly covered the ground and was gone within an hour or so. but... there was still snow.

Medical Insurance-the bane of my existence. don't get me wrong, I'm thankful we have insurance. the ongoing saga is just too long to discuss. so now we are in process of changing our current insurance because they are ridiculous and are blurring the lines of what medications are and are not covered under prescription benefits. sorry. I promised not to discuss. this change results in mass amounts of paperwork and the discovery that we misplaced the copy of our first borns' birth certificate. I know.


My job-I do miss being home with my kids. but this whole medical insurance issue has made me unbelievably grateful for an awesome boss that let me add one more hour a week so I could switch and get health insurance through my job instead.

is the lack of capitalization and proper punctuation annoying?
