this is just a courtesy post to let you know i am still alive. let's just say i've been very billable so far this summer.

couple of funny stories.

*i was at little j's baseball game and the little girl sitting next to me was bored so she asked her grandma if she could comb grandma's hair. i watched her take a little black fine toothed comb and roll it over and over on top of grandma's head. the comb was totally tangled up and stuck. i volunteered to help and it took me exactly one hour to get the comb out. poor grandma.

*i can't remember the last day the kids took showers. they have swim lessons every night and have been wet multiple times most days, but still. put that one in the bad mommy column.

*if it wasn't for multi-tasking, i'm not sure how we would survive. yesterday i caught myself folding laundry while cooking spaghetti while talking on the phone and quietly directing the kids to set the table and get ready for swimming lessons. we are lucky we did not end up with socks on our plates and nicely folded spaghetti. big j did end up wearing backwards swim trunks, but he tells me it's fine since he doesn't care about fashion.

*the husband asked me to make him an almond and ice cream milkshake the other night. i reached into the nut bag in the cupboard and dumped a big handful of pistachios in his milkshake. with the shells on.

*he ate it anyway.

*and that's just the way we roll.
