This IS ME

So when we last left off I was going through the beginning of the end of my marriage.
That was almost 5 years ago. I was 20 pounds lighter, working part time and losing my mind.

I suffered severe migraines and lived in a very unhappy home.

Now, I live in my rented smaller space. My kids are a delight. We share custody, live in the same neighborhood and talk on a daily basis.

Time changes and my ex and I are friends. I can honestly say we have a friendship that trumps any partnership we had 20 years ago.

We are awesome parents and have become friends.

The crazy sheepdog is still around. She's older now, she's calm, sweet and protective.

My love life? Insane. Love rocks, love rules, love makes you kind.

Kids and my love life? They love him back. They love us together. He loves them.

Love is grand. 

First 2 Days of School

Petite and Blue woke up bright eyed and ready to go the first day........................

MIL called to see how BLUE'S first day went
Did not ask about Petite
Reminded her that it was Petite's first day as well
said I know, I didn't forget how was her day--SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS IN PRESCHOOL. SHE did not remember that she was in Kindergarten. THought she went to a different school, and asked if she wore a uniform and what time she got out of school. HAD to EXPLAIN that they go to the SAME SCHOOL this year and SHE GOES FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME and yes it is REAL school.

Day 2
Blue home with a stomach ache

Petite
woke up
wanted to wear gym uniform
not gym day
wore navy shorts
screamed and cried the whole way to school that she isn't pretty
teacher had to pry her from me

Pretend that I am Oprah and share a favorite thing

I fill this cup with h20 at least 10 times a day.
My friends and I even have labels.
Grande would like to have one.

Petite is oh so discreet.......nope

Petite enjoys bobbing in the water directly under the lifeguards chair.

Petite loves to sit with the guards at their break table.

Petite fetches things for them.

Petite told us regarding Blue's sleepover-"I am so excited that all of these boys are staying here."

I wonder where the closest all girls Catholic school is?

Spring Quotes from Petite

"Feel my head I think it is warm, the baby on Full House has a fever and I think they gave it to me through the tv."

"Can I have my leftover cupcakes?" Me-"The other 2 were for Ms. Judy and Ms. Jan." Petite-"OH! I thought you packed me three for lunch." Me-You may have one. Petite-"We should talk about this later."

"We need to tell daddy about Proactive. It comes with a book. He had a pimple."

@ the playground"Follow me- when you see a pole that's where I will be."

"I am sorry that I hurt your feelings by saying I love Daddy more."
