After today, I've decided everybody needs a day to eat, drink and laugh with a friend. The therapy it provides is priceless.
I already knew Papa Joe's market in Rochester cooked amazing food. I also knew you could drink wine and grocery shop there. Combine both of those, throw in a great friend and the only thing missing is a taxi ride home! Honestly, how does it get any better?! It's genius really! Everyone knows the more alcohol people drink, the more they spend. And it's true! 3 glasses of wine, a yummy sandwich (plus other yummy goodies!) and I'm walking out the door with $90 worth of wine! What's scary about that??? I'm a beer drinker!!! Hats off to Papa Joe's!!!

Don't Call Us, We'll Call You!
What is it about girls that they have to call home sick from school? UGH!! I get the phone call, feel bad, and go pick them up. Until now!!!
I'm not falling for the tears, tummy aches, you name it EVER again. Because here's how this works. They call, feed me some boo hoo line, and rather than get another Mother of the Year award, I pick them up, bring them home, and watch them morph from "I can't function" to "woo hoo I'm home let's play!" Done! I tell you, ALL DONE! I told all three of them "don't ever call me again. I don't care if you're bleeding, broken, barfing or passed out cold. Don't do it". It's just ridiculous! My boys would sit through a hurricane before they called me. I just cringe every time I see the schools number pop up on my phone. Well, not any more!!! I am Super Mom, hear me roar...yeh right. I'll be there in five minutes honey! Mommy loves you...UGH!!!

Enough Already...
Honestly, is life really that bad?? At what point do people finally say "I've had enough of being miserable and I'm going to find something that makes me happy!" We all have our breaking point or ah-ha moments, don't we???
Ugh, not my ex-husband. Life is all doom and gloom. I hate to use the word always since I'd like to believe the kids or myself made him happy at least once. But he is always the first to complain about something, yet do absolutely nothing to change his circumstances. Reactive to everything and never able to move forward. Makes me crazy. Thank goodness I wised up and had my ah-ha moment! Life is to short to let others bring you down. Find what makes you happy and enjoy the rewarding adventure life offers us everyday!

Boys
I've decided that boys will never cease to amaze me. I thought the blue line question would put me over the edge. Clearly I was mistaken.
While eating dinner tonight, my girls had already left the table (thank god!), my boys decided to have an argument about whether or not they had balls between their legs. Are you kidding me??? I almost choked! After I stopped laughing, I had to explain the difference between balls and testicles. To which my six year old says "I think I felt three of them down there once." No child you don't have three, only two. Honestly, how much worse is this going to get? I don't have a penis, but I have now become the expert on them thanks to my sons! Why do we have to have sooooo many body parts? God help me when my girls start in!

Spring Cleaning
PHEW!!!! I have finally caught up on my house so that I can sit down and catch up on my personal life! Ugh! What a process. I'm here to tell you nothing and no one was safe in my cleaning endeavor.
It started with being frustrated with the mess in my kids closets and snowballed from there. I cleaned out all closets, all toy boxes, kitchen cupboards, ceiling fans, walls, windows, painted, repaired, replaced bathroom mirrors and lighting fixtures, and unloaded an ex-husband who clearly thought we would continue to live together for the rest of our lives. When I say I cleaned house, I meant I cleaned house. It's such a good feeling to have your house the way you want it and shinny clean to boot...and yes that pun was intended!
