OK, before I start getting hate mail about what a mean mom I am, she was on his lap for all of about 2 seconds. I am not torturing her as badly as her facial expression indicates (i.e., bulging veins and visible molars). I thought that if I sat her down next to her sister, all would be well. As soon as I stepped back she broke out into this rage, which I call Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Mode, and I swooped in to rescue her. The camera guy just happened to snap a picture, and I couldn't resist buyi...

My Beautiful Big GirlGood news first:
My sister is coming, my sister is coming!
She is the one who is going to watch my girls while I have the baby and probably stay for about a week after to help take care of them. I am SOOOOOO thankful for her. She is coming out for three days this week to learn her way around as far as school and swim lessons and such. The only downside to depending on her is that she lives in the OC, and I live about 75 miles north. Should be no big deal, rig...

It was a little boring for me. It is an off-roading trip, which means that everybody piles into their Jeeps and buggies and hits the trails for most of the day. I was stuck back at camp because I didn't think it wa...

Ok, so I guess I'll try to recreate the magic that was my blog entry at 5:30 this morning. It is about 2/3 reflection and 1/3 whining. Brace yourselves.I am currently preparing for the very trip that inspired my decision to make a radical change in my life last year. We go on an RV camping trip and off-roading in the desert with a bunch of other people. It is pretty much four days of obscene overindulgence: cookies, pie, chips, creamy dips, s'mores, and all manner of starchy goodness. It w...
