At our house, make sure you sleep with your mouth CLOSED.

Justin has not been sleeping great due to throwing his back out before his birthday. Therefore, after a week without great sleep, he was very, very tired. Every other Friday, Justin has Miles at home with him. This past Friday, Justin really needed some sleep and had fallen asleep in his reclining chair, dosing in and out while Miles watched his new favorite show, Olivia. Justin could hear Miles talking and saying something, but not sure what. Miles then started putting his fingers in Justin's open mouth. Then Justin realized that Miles had been saying, "Dad, look at my huge booger."

So, if you sleep at our house, remember, sleep with your mouth closed!

Tornado Drills

We have all been in school when they did a tornado drill. However, how many of us, as adults, have been around children during a tornado drill??

Today is national weather safety and there were tornado drills at 9:50 a.m. This is of course during the time that I volunteer in Sophia's school. The kids all lined up, on hands and knees with heads covered. And then it happens,

someone said, "who farted?"

I am glad that I did not completely start laughing out loud, but it was close. The problem was that someone did actually fart, and it STUNK!!!

Pokey-no

why is it that Disney created all the characters with names that are very hard for kids to say??

Our current character that is difficult to say is Pinocchio, also known as Pokey-no at our house.

Miles just keeps walking around the house today saying, "Pokey-no, Pokey-no. I just can't say it. Pokey-no"

all good things....

must come to an end. We are checked-out of the hotel. Planning to get some lunch soon before getting the cab to the airport. It has been a great escape/vacation. I will try to post pictures once i get home. We will probably get into our own beds about 1:30a.m. It will be a long day, but well worth it.

And tomorrow, we get to see the kids.

CAVED

as my good friend put it, " SO you caved in on the facebook thing, me too"

Okay, so i am now part of facebook. This could be interesting. Looks like you can talk to people, but only if you want.

I have found heaven....

and it looks like this:

Justin and I are in Tucson, AZ. We are using the perks of a business trip to also enjoy/relax/celebrate our 10 year anniversary. It was dark when we arrived here, but the sun quickly came up in the morning and it was very bright. It is now overcast, but still warmer (80 degrees). The views are amazing and the SPA is even better! I do believe the sage and lavender exfoliating scrub that I just received and the sauna may have been heaven.

I am catching a quick bite to eat and then heading out to be poolside. They say the pools are heated, but that is questionable at best. I think that I will just enjoy the view and read a bit.

I think I will need to go on a spa vacation more often. Mom and Margie, are you up for joining next time?

Somewhere warm.....

We are all getting pretty tired of this crazy winter weather. It even snowed in Atlanta, and to all of our friends in the D.C. area, I hope that you do not have to try to get to work. Luckily, we do not have any snow, BUT, it is FREEZING COLD HERE.

So, if you could go anywhere warm (leaving today or tomorrow), where would you go?

I'm excited to see some answers
