tuesday. at least i think it is.

these past few days have been weird.
not weird as in strange, but weird as in a bunch of weird stuff coming up and leaving me breathless.
adoption is a wild ride.
it is full of twists and turns.
we continue to tread water but man, it is making us both so tired!

i love these mustard yellow flowers from walmart.

john's gall bladder is acting wonky.
the doctor is running all sorts of test on it and he had a dye test today.
i sure hope he's ok--and not just because spider season is coming upon us and i need him around to kill those suckers.
don't think i haven't thought about that.
i hope he's ok because i need him.
plain and simple, that's all.

we've had some really warm days lately.
the kind where you think spring is actually right around the corner and you spend an entire afternoon running around with flipflops and a tee shirt on only to awake the next morning and freeze your buttukis off.
yes, buttukis is a word.
even if spell check keeps underlining it.
spell check is a pain in my buttukis.

i have fred flintstone feet.  i'm ok with that.

i gave up cussing for lent.
and at 10:46 am on ash wednesday (the first day of lent) i cussed.
and then i proceeded to cuss three more times within the hour.
completely on accident!
hence the reason why i gave up cussing.
i'm doing better.
i've only cussed a few more times but even then it was subconscious.
that's it! i'm a subconscious cusser!
sorry if i offend you.
i also use the word butukis.
is that offensive too?
sorry.

those little sprouts will be daisies one day.

let's see, what else...
well the school nurse called today.
i hate when i see the school's phone number on my caller id.
i freeze.
i panic.
what happened??
and then i answer it's no big deal.
today's call was because anna was accidentally kicked in the face on the slide.
she now has a big red mark on her cheek.
of course she does--she has gymnastic pictures in one hour.
of course.

awake my soul.  that is such a beautiful thing to ask.

every time buck barks, ben barks after him.
they just did it and it reminded me to tell you.
buck barked woof woof!.
ben barked woof!.
this is important, funny stuff that you MUST know.
that's why i'm a blogger.
bringing you the most up-to-date info!

p.s. two weeks ago (so not up-to-date, sorry), a drawing anna made was shown on the news.
it was adorable.
she was thrilled.
you need to know that too.

p.s.s. the season finale of parenthood is on tonight.
i don't want to get into the question of why or how the heck could it possibly be the season finale (in february for goodness sake!), but i will tell you that i have my box of tissues ready.
