Busy Morning

Ooops…the first version wasn’t supposed to be published…I wasn’t finished with it yet, so if you got this twice in your reader, I apologize!

I have a lunch date today with these two gals.

To Do List to get ready… by 9:45 AM…

1.  Remember to wear deodorant.  I get really sweaty when I’m nervous (even when it’s only 9 degrees.)
2.  Lose 10 pounds.
3.  Work on joke-telling skills
4.  Speak with my zits and kindly ask them to find a different home than MY FACE.
5.  Teach Carson table manners…

6. Have a stern talking-to with Ella and remind her NOT to be SO ornery…

    Can you talk to my house and ask it to clean itself too? That’d really free up my day to read blogs :)

    I absolutely love how you put lose 10lbs is number 2…that’s totally something I would do. I happen to love Indiana (my Best Friend lives in Muncie) so I hope you’re enjoying it.

    On the bright side, your cute little guy looks like he does a good job cleaning his plate!

    I really need to have that talk with my chin hairs. Actually, I just need to zap them off.

    Busy? YOu wanna hear about a busy morning?

    Kids, food, school, work…..NO time for laughs in these parts. No time for fun with friends.

    It’s SO awesome to not see friends or have fun lunch dates anymore.

    Little Ms. Social lunching with the ladies already! I’m jealous, really I am. Oh and if you need a good weight loss plan, we’ve got a very nice flu out here that will zap those hunger pains right from your very core! Okay, perhaps that isn’t the most sound weight loss plan and I don’t really wish it on anyone.

    That picture of Carson with his head in theplate made me laugh! I should also tell you that Peanut saw it, tried to do the same with her cereal and now I’m mopping up Cheerios and milk from the floor and cursing myself for not covering the dining chairs in vinyl.

    Ha ha. I also have #1-3 on my to-do list. And that Ella – she always looks so miserable:)

    Oh, wait. I forgot I’m not speaking to you because you’re meeting up with two of my favorite girls and I’m seething with jealousy. Well, maybe I’ll forgive you if you promise to tell me how awesome they were. Have a great time!

    I don’t know what’s wrong with Carson’s table manners? He’s just showing how much he likes the food, not wasting any of it! Oh, and aren’t zits supposed to leave when we reach adulthood? What gives them the right to think they can just come back anytime?

    Good times!

    When in doubt drink lots and lots of wine. There is something about it that makes those zits go away magically and you simultaneously turn in to the life of the party.

    Have fun….

    My fiancee and me are going to have a child soon – I hope he’s as handsome as yours.

    Looking at your son with his face in the plate, all I could think of was that scene from “A Christmas Story” where Randy is “oinking” and the Mom was saying “That’s mommy’s little piggy!”

    But somehow I don’t think that was the scene at your table!
