A while back. Well July 13th to be exact my mom had taken Mr A for a couple days so I decided to take that opprotunity to take Miss O over to the Picture People to get some birthday photos done. I was going to do them myself after all but then I said I want some studio shots too and right now I cant set up my studio dur to lack of space. So off to PP we went.

You would be able to see the hurt on my face that seems to have taken up permanent residence. You would know that something just isnt right in my personality right now.

Partly because I have learned the hard way about saying anything too personal on the internet, partly because I dont want a

Yesterday we spent the afternoon in the pool. Well Miss O and I did. Mr D stayed in the house with A. He is just like his father. Has this overwhelming fear of the pool. I cant say water because he loves the bathtub and showers hell he even loves the ocean. Although since his first trip to the beach at 18 months old and his near death encounter he doesnt go running for the water. Thank goodness.

2010-07-06T21:05:00.000-07:00

Well July 4th I was planning on getting back on track with loosing weight; that was the plan. Then the kids {well mainly my son} stuck my digital scale in the bathtub. I dont know why or what his thought process was with that. luckily he wasnt in the tub of water with it. Im not sure if that would have shocked him or not. Luckily he decided to put it in after he got out and was playing around.
