Ah... look, we made the news!
Don't get your poor all over me!
Oh wait... it's not contagious....

Just called to talk to a parent
- it's the good thing to do -
older son answers and says he'll get her
I hear the following:

"Hey, Ma! Dere's somebody on da phone for ya?"
"Whoisit?"
"I dahno. Some old lady."

I may have hit a new low.

Roman Francisco Duque
Friday, January 7, 2011

*she is no longer chubby. I promise!

Different

Allyson: (looking dreamily into space)
I want to live in a chateau...

Ashlee: (matter of factly)
I'll probably live in a van down by the river.

And that, folks, is how we're different.

Tender Mercies

Tender mercies for the day...
*No frost on the car window (It rained last night and apparently warmed up) when I was running late for work
*Just enough stamps for what I needed
*Seeing the trees in the proverbial forest! Trying to figure this little one out and why her IQ score came out lower than I expected... then I see that she recreated all her block designs backward.... now that's something I can work with.
*Chocolate peanut butter cake from Allyson's hard day at her new big girl job - and the fact that she's willing to share!!
