In Search of Leprechauns

A Proud Mom Moment

Tonight I opened Josh's backpack and found a note:

My little boy is Student of the Month! Pictures to be forthcoming after 3/24 luncheon.

Down and Out

Literally.
Did I mention I threw out my back again? That's twice in a month. 33 must be old. This morning I rushed to get Josh to school. As I was buckling the Circus in, I bent straight over, no knee bend (bad!), twisted (even worse!!) and stood up. KRRREEEE. I felt my back muscle tighten. (Does it make a sound?) So I have been lying flat or bent over in a hard chair all day, imagining the fun things I could do, like walk, clean up my house (ok, maybe not that one) and play with my kids. Just think how FUNtastic it will be when I can stand straight tomorrow morning. Yes, I am mentally willing my back to unlock. For now, I am still hunched like Australopithecus afarensis. Not quite upright.
Thankfully, I am way less hairy.

Update: After a day of ibuprofen, stretching, heating, positive thinking and a Priesthood blessing, I am walking like a Homo sapien. Upright never felt so good. Woo hoo!!!

In the Still of the Night...

Frantic Friday (have you seen my Friday schedule?) became FUN Friday. After Josh's karate lesson, I came home and cut out a couple of felt poodles and tacky glued them on to felt skirts. And voila! We made it to the Church activity, a 50's and 60's sock hop.

Let's go to the hop!

In the middle of the Hokey Pokey. You put your whole self in...

Go Grease Lightnin'... go Grease Lightnin'!

A couple of Earth Angels

Did I mention I am a doo wop junkie? (I owe it all to my dad and those LPs he'd play.) We sang karaoke and danced the night away. Matt had to finally tell me to Stop!..in the name of Love... sorry, couldn't help that one. It's in the blood.

A Valentine's Gift

"Joshua and the Best Mom"

Once there was a little boy who had no mom.

And then a mom came and said, "Why are you crying?"

"I have no mom."

"Well, maybe I can be your mom."

"OK!"

The End.
