September Fifth

Today is a special birthday post all about my little nugget of joy! Happy Birthday Loki! Today you're 7 and I still remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. It took a lot to get you here safely and every day I'm thankful that I was given the opportunity to have you, even when doctors said it was impossible. Nothing's impossible and you're the living, breathing example of that! I love that you are so bright and you have such a passion to build things. You have such a big heart and are willing to help everyone and anyone. Never let that go! You will do great things in life. Always make the right choices, and even when you don't, have the mind to examine why. Life never gets easier, but it can be fulfilling and full of fun and happiness as long as you keep choosing those things every day. Work hard, but love harder.  These are some of the things that I hope to always show you. I love you, little dude. Today is going to be, in your words, EPIC!

Cookies. Why yes. Yes I'll have a case.

My workout motivation just arrived last night by the case full. Girl Scout Cookie season is in full swing and I love Thin Mints as much as I love drinking and cursing. So, that's an awful lot. If you'd like to support some awesome little ladies and remove just a small box of temptation from my presence, hit me up. I'd be glad to get you your fix. And maybe I'll let you chase my toddler to burn a few calories. That's what I did this morning.

Hello New Year, Bye Bye Tonsils!

We've started off this year with a BANG! Well, kind of. I guess? I don't do resolutions. But, I did set new ground rules for behavior around here.  Bella had been getting a weekly allowance since she was 3 for doing chores around the house. Lately, the allure of doing chores for allowance has diminished and the Christmas brattiness had been setting in. I came up with a new plan as of New Years. For every time Bella acts up, has a tantrum (apparently she hasn't outgrown these) or talks back, she loses a toy. I keep a big box in a storage area to put them in. For each day she completes her chores (usually only on Wednesdays and Sundays), she gets to get a toy back. Plus, at the end of the month, if she had done her chores and hasn't lost too many more toys, she gets an allowance. She seems to like this idea so far and hasn't lost many toys this year yet.  As for her brother, he's still too little to understand a lot of rules. But, we do make him pick up h

I feel like...

That episode of Sponge Bob where  Sponge Bob and Patrick are selling chocolate bars and that one crazy fish dude is chasing them and yelling "Chocolate!" I'm the crazy fish dude. But I have an accomplice. I guess hump day really needs to happen...... If you know what I mean.
