Not my shining mommy moment...

Here's the story...

I was getting out the mixer on Monday to make cookies with Jane for her birthday.  Inside the bowl, was a ziploc bag of powdered sugar (for another project).  I knew it was there.  I was going to remove it once the mixer was on the counter.  Somehow, while carrying it over, I must have bumped the switch.  So when I plugged in the mixer...yep...you can imagine the white cloud that engulfed me and a good 25% of the kitchen.  After I turned it off, and got over the initial shock, I began cleaning up.  I apologized to Jane for making such a mess and delaying our project.  She replied, "That's okay, Mom!  Do you need my help?  Anytime you need my help you just say, 'Gob dammit' and I'll come help you right away."

Ooopies.

Yep, it's official. Hell has frozen over.

I ran a 5K today. 

See what I mean?

It's COLD down there tonight.

McKenna, Me & Jenny

These two crazy-ass friends of mine made me do it.

"Take 'em down, Mom!"  Seriously?  Love it!

And here are my sweet cheerleaders with their darling signs.

I'm not sure what kind of full-contact, mommy-ninja 5K Charlotte thought I was running, but I appreciate her aggressive and encouraging comments. 

And it was lovely of Jane to put me at the front of the pack.   :)

Mommy-isms

I'm really going to miss listening to Sam snoring

on the baby monitor and giggling with Brett about it.

Do they make monitors that kids can take to college with them?
