Big Girl BEDS!




After waiting patiently for almost six years, after countless hours of sleeping, playing, tent making, and pulling the old switcheroo on Mommy and Daddy, after performing a myriad of gymnastic tricks, after pulling their "baby" blankets out from the drawer underneath yet one more night, after wearing out hundreds upon hundreds of D and C batteries in their "fish" and their "music players", after one last round of pictures, a couple of tears, and a very heartfelt, fond goodbye -

The gals got their "big girl" beds set up over the weekend. I am happy to report, that they are happy.

Will post some "before" and "after" pictures soon.

Random Friday night.....

Well, to start, something is WRONG with my spacebar. AND my period key (double entendre? NO!) And I am NOT HAPPY about either of these deficiencies as my Dell Notebook Computer 1) was not cheap! and 2) is not that old. Suspects will be questioned, punishments may be dealt.

But anyway......

(had to hit the period key like 80 TIMES)

Life is Work. Work is Life. Or at least it seems so lately. So, I have been making a conscious effort to separate the two.

Seriously. Let me elaborate.

We Lessards, are on a pretty tight schedule. Me more so than JP and the gals. I am always the first one up (on weekdays). I nudge JP, go in and wake the girls, and get the day going. As my previous day probably did not end till around midnight, my morning usually begins around 6:45 on a good day. Around 7am on a not so good day.

So, I nudge JP, go into the gals' bedroom, get them up or give them "5" more minutes depending on the time, and hit the shower. A FAST shower. Always. Except on the weekends or at night when I am lucky enough to have a few extra minutes . OK, this whole post so far sounds like I am complaining or bitching about my lack of time, which in a way I am but I am so not..

I am just documenting a day in the life...

So anyway, as NONE OF MY FAMILY READ THIS BLOG ANYMORE I can pretty much say whatever I want......SCOTT! YOU'RE A NORTHERNER AND WILL NEVER BE FULLY ACCEPTED INTO SOUTHERN LIFE! MICHELE! LIGHTEN UP! JOE! GET A CLUE!

ok, I am done with THAT.

If you (and you know who you are!) happen to be reading this post, trust me, that last capitalized comment was NOT directed at you

But I digress.

So work,

Necessary but hated

Not that I hate my "paying" job

And I certainly don't hate my "non-paying" job

But it is starting to wear on me.

The commute.

I don't remember my specific point when I started this entry, but I do realize what it has turned into -

I HATE MY COMMUTE.
Other than that? Right now? Life is good. And I am thankful.
