Happy Mother's Day to Me!

Not that I think Mother's need one day to be recognized; I believe they should be cherished throughout the year.
Unless you're my mother. If you're my mother, you deserve to be lonely.

But in an odd way, I want to thank my mother. For teaching me what NOT to do.

My son will always know that he is not only loved, but wanted. I will never turn my back on him. I will always encourage him to follow his dreams and support him no matter what those dreams consist of. I will not try to be his friend. I will not say things like, "I can't tell him to not do _____ because I did it when I was a kid."

In other words: I am going to do it better.

Today my son gave me a card and a cute little 'stained glass window' he made from construction and tissue paper.
I proudly have it displayed in my front window.

He has also given me countless hugs and has told me "Happy Mother's Day" at least 10 times.
All of which is great.
But it doesn't compare to the random times he squeezes me and says, "You are the best mom in the entire UNIVERSE!"

Yeah, I'm doing it better.

Movie Extravaganza

Yesterday, Bug and I went to see 'How to Train Your Dragon' and it was AWESOME!
I almost wish we would have spent the extra money on the 3-D, almost. Seeing it on the big screen was incredible enough for me.
Truly an awesome film and well worth the loan you need to take your entire family.

Must create

I have had writers' block for weeks and it's driving me absolutely nuts!! I've tried all the normal things that usually tear that wall for me, but they aren't working this time.
Need inspiration NOW!!

These truths I hold to be self evident...

1. I love my son more than anything.
2. I hate my job.

The. End.

The best Mommy in the whole world

These are the words that make my heart melt. Just call me 'puddle'.

What makes it even better is when it's spoken for absolutely no reason.

Seriously...

The. Best. Feeling. Ever.

And how cute is this picture of Darth and his best bud 'the Bry Pirate'?

Love. It.

D.S. rules

'nuff said

A picture worth one word...

So I've been bummed that Ryan has been wisked away to Disneyworld, leaving his pathetic mama behind.

But tonight I saw the funniest thing. It made me laugh so hard I nearly pissed myself.

Shane, Ryan and the 'rents went to dinner tonight at 50's prime time. We went last year and personally it was one of my favorite eateries we visited. Shane thought so too so he made reservations again this year.

Well they treat you like your children there. Not in a 'let mama spank you' kind of way....but in a 'granny says get your damn elbows off the table or i'll tan ya' kind of way.

Well Ryan calls me and says that daddy got in trouble for drinking too much soda.

This was the result...

Now I know it's not the finest quality, but it brought me more joy than I can say. Seeing my soon-to-be-ex-husband in a paper cap is worth more than a thousand words.

But since people who still like Shane might be reading this blog, I'll narrow it down to one.

DUNCE

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go find the last bottle of Resolve spot remover since I have pissed myself all over my big fat comfy recliner.

Thank you and goodnight.
