Always prepared!
Birthday Bling
I've wanted a new wedding band since we bought the first one (a very classy $31 internet purchase) and 34 seemed like a good age to buy one. I drug Graham to the mall, put it in his pocket and told him to give it to me at dinner...I'm such a romantic!! I really love it and think it suits my (very large) hands nicely! Here is the extreme close-up:
My other birthday story is that on the big day I was at work talking to someone I had never met before and she looked down at my midsection and said "So, when are you due?" ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!! I looked at her and said "5 months ago." Then I turned around and headed straight to my office to tear up alone!! I guess I have the exact opposite of whatever anorexics have. Apparently they look in the mirror and see a fat person when they are really skinny. I, on the other hand, think I look great but apparently I'm fat! So, I'm debating how to approach this situation. On the one hand, I could diet and exercise. On the other, I could eat a bunch of cookies, drink a bunch of beer, kick the crap out of the lady who said that, and hope that the rest of my body catches up with my belly. The latter sounds like the better choice to me..thankyouverymuch!

P-A-R-T-WHY?
None of the pictures turned out great. She has decided that smiling means biting your bottom lip!!
Hippo and whale

I can just picture it now. Dinning room tables that make into beds, miniature stoves and refrigerators, porta pottis...life doesn't get any better! Trips to the lake, to the beach, even DisneyWorld. The possibilities are endless! Never mind the fact I hate being outside...some of them even have showers!!!! I mean, look at this picture of me circa 1980s. Don't I just look like I LOVE to camp!
And, by the way, you might think I am joking but I have seriously spent hours on Craigslist trying to find something. And, no, I don't know why my obsession lies in a measly popup and not the mack-daddy travel trailers. What can I say...I'm a simple girl.
It's been a busy week for the Scott's. Christian has been a big boy, riding the bus for the first time. This is the first year that his mommy got over her paranoia and allowed him to be in a moving vehicle with no seat belts and a thousand screaming kids. Today was Grandparents day and he was so thrilled. I think he called Bree five times last night to make sure she remembered. Bree and Pa had lunch with him and I can only imagine how proud he was!
And, speaking of big boys, Wyatt is now sitting up for brief moments AND getting up on all fours. He's FOUR months old people!!! He's a freak of nature!
My job continues to go well. Every Friday is morning assembly day and last week I said the Pledge of Allegiance for the first time in probably 20 years...kind of fun really. Then we have all the kids who had a birthday that week stand up and we sing a birthday song. Not the original birthday song...a more 'contemporary" version complete with clapping. I've gotta say...I didn't really set out to work with kids. I really had my eyes on working with adults in a rehab or hospital setting. However, both last Friday and today, I got a little teary eyed during the birthday song. They all just so into and dance around and look so darn cute...I love it!! Yesterday I had a therapy session with 2 kindergartners and, I kid you not, I laughed for 30 minutes straight and I didn't understand a damn word either of them said for the entire 30 minutes!!! It just doesn't get much better than that! Now, let's hope I can have them at least somewhat intelligible by the end of the year!
Oh, and P.S., I have bronchitis...good times!
