you know you have issues when...

...you have had hives for the last 5 days because of goodbyes...

My classroom is currently being housed in public storage while I sit and wait. patiently. not really. wait to find out where I will set up shop next.
I really have hives.
I don't feel stressed, but I guess I'm suppressing a lot.

...and more goodbyes...

Well, this was more like ridiculous, non-stop, laughter!
We were coming home from dancing...and drinking...and the lights on the walls were cymbals.
Em took off her shoe and used the heal to hit each one as we walked down the hall.
We were walking to the beat of our own music.
And laughing to it too I guess!

and this was more like enjoying the sun-PRE-children (we DO have suits on)


and this was more like thinking meat on spinning racks was worth posing with.
This is why goodbyes suck.
My dear friend Emily is moving to Boston.
I don't see her as much as I'd like too, or as often as we did before because life changes.
But now I CAN'T see her whenever I want.
I'm excited for her, but sad at the same time.
I have MANY more pictures that I had TOO much fun looking at!


So in attempt to relieve some stress...

I have planned something top secret for my Hubby!!!
I'm SO counting down minutes to Friday evening!

You know you also have issues when you are WAY too excited to put together a grocery list...

I have drooled over her blog and everyone else's blogs that have bought this, I couldn't hold out any longer!
Thank GOD for FANTASTIC students who love their teacher well enough to know that book store gift cards are the BEST!!!!

You know you have issues when your son gets too many kisses from cute little girls!


...or when on your LAST week of school, when it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to take a day off, your baby has an ear infection and the croup :(


Not this bathing diva...

This brown-eyed boy

...so in order to lower his fever, he got to go swimming with his sister-"nakey buns" as we call it.


You have issues when you are told that your words don't sound like Fancy Nancy's...

Did you know that there is a way to SOUND fancy?
Well there is.
There is a dictionary about it and how to use them.
Cutest books ever, and even cuter that my little fancy girl adores* them.
*adores is a more fancy word that loves

You know you have issues when you don't know what to do with yourself because you only have ONE kid to worry about!



Miss S started preschool yesterday...

this picture is in NO way indicative of how she did.
She walked in like "old hat".
I had to PRY a kiss and hug from her because she was already too busy deciding what to do first in her classroom.
I guess it could be worse.
She's already picking out her outfit for tomorrow-I have a fashion monster on my hands.

You know you have issues when you are way excited to go to swim lessons for the first time.






Why would that be an "issue", because that is one of the highlights of your day.
It's blazing hot out, which I typically don't mind, that is if I were laying out in the sun in a suit with music.
But I have two kids that don't like to lay out as much as I do :)
Don't have a money tree, so swim lessons, totally fun times!
She was a pro-she loved it.

You have SERIOUS issues when your handsome (dapper in Fancy Nancy terms) little man won't eat anything you give him...

...except fruit.
Or bread.
But not meat.
Not rice.
Not ham.
Not chips.
Not anything.
Not even french fries.
I'm going nuts.
I tried to make him eat a delicious chicken and rice dinner by letting Sammy eat an ice cream in front of him after she finished her dinner.
Did he eat?
No, he went to bed without food.
Mean mom?
Don't know...any ideas?
He will choose fruit over ANYTHING else in front of him. Am I too worried? Do I just give him the things I KNOW he'll eat?


You have issues too when you are too excited to take pics of you kids playing in the fountain, but don't have a camera...

So you use your phone instead. Not too bad for a phone I guess!

So, yep, I have issues.
But they are ALL manageable...for the most part, right?
