metaphor for life


Last night James fell asleep in his dinner at the kitchen table and instead of thinking awe... that is so precious, I thought "I wish I was him" and heres the kicker we were only eating corn dogs and french fries thats what a gourmet chef I am. And to make it even worse I couldn't get my camera to take a picture because it was out of batteries. Boooooo for blogger mom. But I've now immortalized the memory and so I can alleviate my blogging guilt (thats for you Hil) and if I'm lucky maybe I will also go fold the laundry. Then I would really be having a power day.

If I am sounding a little bummed it is probably because we have all been sick, booo again and yesterday we missed the first 80 degree day of the year, and now the dandelions officially have a leg up me. urgh.

But on the bright side our house is now painted. Thats right Lindsey-the-indecisive finally picked a paint color, and I'd like to thank all of you little people for standing by me for the last year while I braved the harsh and cruel world of beige and came out triumphant in a nice summer sand yellow.
Mike also installed a ceiling fan 2 can lights and a chandelier over the kitchen table. Lets here it for Mike handy man extraordinare. Hip hip horrayy!!

Thanks to Laura for giving Sonni and me super cute haircuts, especially sonia who got her hair cut up past her shoulders in a chic a line bob. I'll post a picture when she feels better and will let me touch her hair again.

Well James just "went potty in his unerware" so that about wraps it up for this entry.

One last thing I'm holding a contest to "Name that Blog" so if you have any bright ideas let me know.
I'm ditching confessions of an aspiring TROPHY wife (which stands for Totally Righteous Organized Prosperous Housewife of the Year, and now am thinking along the lines of Organized Pandemonium, but it just doesn't have that ring to it so let me know.

Honestly girls--where you you both when your mother was teaching you how to clean and stay organized. Good thing I have great self esteem or I would be feeling like a total failure. How about "Lessons with Lindsey" for the blog. Or Life with Lindsey.

You are funny! i love your writing style! I am so glad you chose a color for your walls...yellow is so happy, I love my yellow kitchen! Sorry to hear you all have been sick.
Love you....

(Here is a positive thought for you and James' "unerware" ATLEAST HE WEARS THEM AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE WET THEM! I was hoping that Eva wetting hers would make her uncomfortable...oh no she just ran around outside until they were almost dry! okay not that long but she didn't even care they were wet!! AHHH!! I know, in her own due time!! (I am anxious, it had been a long 7 and a half years of DIAPERS!!!) :)
