Out of the Mouth of Babes!

I'm really going to get a lot of flack about this story (it's especially for Greg and Jemekia), but here goes:

Tonight while Jackson, Preston, and I were playing hide-n-seek in the house (which is totally fun at dusk when it gets just dark enough to spook them :) ), I was running holding Preston and got quite tickled. So tickled in fact I peed my pants ever so slightly. :)

SIDENOTE: I often peed my pants while laughing as a young child (as did my sister, too) and after having children which weakens all that stuff anyway causing incontinence it has gotten worse. I don't regularly pee my pants but if I have been holding it a while and laugh or sneeze hard, well it comes out!

Hello! It is so easy to get tickled. Preston jumps a mile everytime Jackson hops out to say "Boo!" even if it is the same place Jackson has hid for the past three times (which it often is!) And, Jackson cracks me up because he usually tells you in advance before you start counting where he is going to hide. I told him tonight to quit telling me! So, after that he then approached it a different way. Instead he said, "Mom, could you turn the lamp on in Preston's room so I can hide in there?" Seriously! haha

But, the kicker is not that I peed my pants or that the kids are hilarious playing hide-n-seek. It is what Jackson said to me after I peed my pants that totally hit me in the face like a big slap!

Mommy: "Hold on, Jackson. We've gotta take a quick break so Mommy can get new pants. She had an accident from laughing."

Jackson: "What, Mommy? An accident?" (incredulous)

Mommy: "Yes, Jackson. Mommy had an accident. Just a little one. I was laughing too hard."

Jackson: (amazed) "Mommy! Ahhh..You better not have had an accident. I am going to strangle you if you had an accident!"

Uh...no clue whatsoever who he heard that from!

If you need me I'll be under the table hiding.

Slow Folks and Bad Sneezes

Hilarious! Today Jackson has been calling me and Preston "slow folks." When we go from room to room to play and Jackson is hollering for us to come on and Preston of course meanders around, Jackson says, "Come on, slow folks!" That is when I realized he was trying to call us a "slow poke." HAHA!!

Also funny, last night Jackson woke up around midnight screaming. I ran in thinking he must have wet the bed. But, he hadn't so I kept asking what is wrong, what happened. He said, "Nothing, I'm fine." But, he was still crying. So, I said, "Did you have a bad dream?" He nodded and said yeah. I said "It's alright. What did you have a bad dream about?" His answer: He said, "It was about a bad sneeze. That's all." (shrugging his shoulders)

HAHA!!

Unawes

Unawes---Preston's attempt to say underwears. Here after I just said I felt bad Jackson was getting all the "screen time", and Preston is starting to crack me up all day long. Tonight he became infatuated with Jackson's Lightning McQueen underwear. I have never seen a child like hot wheels and cars like that more than Preston. Seriously. He was trying to put them on. I think it made it worse Jackson just happened to have on his McQueen pajamas. So, Preston really wanted to wear something McQueen. I will have to find him a pair of McQueen pajamas. I put them on over his pajamas and snapped this. Notice how easily he smiled for me! He was loving it!!!! (Of course, trouble erupted when Jackson got confused as to why I took the picture and started stripping to "take a picture in my underwear, too.") Oh, no! That wasn't the example I was trying to teach. Oops!

I made Preston take them off to go to bed. Aww...he waved bye bye to the "unawes" and told them nite nite. I bet first thing tomorrow morning this is what he heads for. Maybe I'll let him wear them over his diaper. :)

Coffee Break at FiveBucks

Today while Jackson was at school, Preston and I met some friends for coffee at Starbucks. He wouldn't smile for me, but I still thought this picture was so cute of him lounging in their arm chair with his cookie cereal and milk. Paul thinks Starbucks is so overpriced, hence he calls it FiveBucks. :)

And, you know how I have been worried Jackson would soon realize while he is at school me and Preston are at home together. Well, he has enjoyed school so much that he hasn't even noticed or cared...YET!

Until now! He just saw me uploading this picture and asked where the red chair was. I told him the coffee shop and tried to brush the question off because I knew what was coming. He kept asking, when, where, etc. I finally said today. He said, "Did I go with you there?" I said, "Not today, you were having fun at school." He got whiny and said, "No, I want to go there with you next time!" Awww..he does miss me. Now I feel bad. :(

What a Great School Day Today Was!

Today at school, Jackson had the best day yet! He was so thrilled when I picked him up about all that happened. They were learning about Clifford the Big Red Dog this week. So, he had to wear a red shirt and take in a stuffed animal for a dog show! He took this cute little brown dog Paul's mom got him before he was even born, so that was pretty sentimental. Then, I about peed my pants when I peeked in the door right before they dismissed him only to see him wearing these dog ears while sitting "criss-cross applesauce" as he would say listening to a story. I just had to post this picture. It took me a minute to figure out what he was wearing! They were hilarious! He made them he said. (Colored circles/spots are glued onto the ears.) It was so touching to see him sitting there all peaceful and calmly just like all the other kids. Sometimes it is easy to worry when they act up so much at home about how they will be at school. But, he is doing great! (keep reading)
Jackson got five stickers and got to visit the surprise box today! I was having trouble getting out of him if he missed a sticker one day. But, obviously he hasn't. He must have gotten a sticker (they get one when they are good) each day of school because it takes five to visit the surprise box and there have only been five days of school. YAY! for Jackson. I am so proud of him. He is doing so well! Below he is holding up the spinning tops he chose out of the box. He was so proud of himself. And, he was so well behaved all in all today. School really seems to be helping him learn his boundaries and how to be responsible for his behaviors. I am so glad we enrolled him when we did. What a blessing!

So Soon!?

Well, it's official. Jackson is ready to do carpool he says. So, today was our first day! It was nice not to have to unload Preston to take him in, but it broke my heart still. He said he knew where to go, and I really think he does. But, it threw him off a little being alone I think because he almost went in the wrong door at first. There are teachers to help though. He made it in! This is all happening too fast for me! :( :( :(

More Beach Photos

Here's more pics that wouldn't fit in the beach post.

All ready for our day at the beach!The infamous red car that Preston just had to have!
Sugar rush, anyone!?
At Dick's Last Resort, they give you dunce hats. I think that is what they are called??? If you can't see Jackson's says, "I pee in the pool." Preston's said: "I pee sitting down." I won't tell you what mine and Paul's said! The whole purpose is to cut you down. It is hilarious! (Gail, you can thank me later for leaving out what yours and Joe's said, too! :) )
Preston's first "solo" ride. He looks a little uneasy, doesn't he?

Myrtle the Turtle

Myrtle the Turtle Beach that is! That's the name Paul came up with our trip this weekend. As many of you know, we were headed to Panama City to visit Paul's aunt until the tropical storm changed our plans quickly for us! :( We were sad, but we were packed for the beach so away we went! We went with our friends Joe and Gail. The kids LOVED being on vacation and most of all with "Mista Joe and Goal." That's what Preston called them. He adored Joe. He talked and talked to Joe like they were best friends. And he liked "Goal" too. Jackson just called her Gail but in the most southern accent you can imagine! It was such a great trip!


It was so typical. Jackson was so much like me. No naps and pack the day full until you can't go anymore! Always wondering what we were going to do next! Preston on the other hand is the spitting image of his dad in more ways than one. He ASKED for his nap daily, and we had to wake him up from it! So, one day I took Jackson down at sunset to take some beach pictures of him alone. Preston slept each afternoon till dinner time, so I had to take him down the morning we left for a quick "bye-bye beach" photo shoot. The pictures turned out pretty good for both even though it was raining right before Preston's. The weather was wonderful both days we were there, but it rained as we were leaving.

I could only upload so many pictures, so I chose to add this one of Preston showing his silly little personality. We just turned around and there he was peeking through at us!
We all loved the beach! Paul really got used to sitting in his chair, getting a suntan, and drinking a beer. He liked it alot more than I think he thought he would. Preston loved the sand and of course had to give it the usual taste test. Jackson was all about the waves!!! They were pretty strong due to the storm down the coast, and for him the stronger the better. We jumped waves for hours.

All in all, we did so much for such a short trip. We sat on the beach for hours. (Preston woke up Sunday and brought me a swim diaper and said, "Beach, Mommy. Beach, all day.") One day on the beach, we flew this awesome kite. That was so much fun for the boys. Jackson had been wanting to fly one since Easter! Then, in the afternoons we would swim in the pool for a bit, and go for a great dinner. My favorite dinner spot was Dick's Last Resort. If you ever go anywhere they have one of these places, you HAVE to eat there. The whole premise is that they are rude to you. Yes, I know sounds strange, but it is hilarious. Jackson loved it. We told him it was the only place you can blow your straw papers all over and it is ok. He was all about it! The food is good, too!

Then in the evenings, the kids would go down, and Mista Joe and Goal would come down to our room for drinks. Mmmm! Strawberry margaritas!! We would lounge and watch TV and sit on the balcony where we could see people doing fireworks each night.

The last night we went to Family Kingdom which is an oceanfront carnival/fair type place. Jackson had his first go-kart experience! He got to ride with Dad. Even Paul said they were really a bit too fast for him. But, he loved it! He looked terrified the whole time but thrilled all at the same time.

And, little Preston had his first experience getting to ride stuff, too. And it was his FIRST time ever riding anything all alone. While Jackson was on the go-karts he rode this kiddie ride. He was fine once I put him on, but then he realized I left him and he cried. But, only for a split second. Then he was fine. He wanted to keep riding more!

One ride we put him in the racecar with Jackson and apparently his plans were different. As the ride is going, he spots another car he wanted instead. Of course the red one. So, the attendant had to STOP the ride he was crying so bad and let him ride the red one by himself. What a spoiled little brat! :) Thankfully, she was great about it all as they were about to close anyway.

Ahhh..I can hear the ocean now calling me back....

Our Big Boy!

Preston is growing up so fast! Jackson get so much "screen time" on the blog because he has so much going on right now in his little life! But, Preston has alot going on, too! He is eating with a fork and on a plate now!
And, on the way to Myrtle Beach this weekend he realized sadly Dad wasn't intending on listening to the Wiggles and Toy Story the whole trip. So, he finally gave up fighting us on trying to eat the headphones and decided to wear them like a big boy. He did really good! He looks so proud of himself! AND, no shocker here...he is following in his Mommy's and brother's footsteps...he talked pretty much the ENTIRE trip!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I Now Bring This PTO Meeting To Order!"

Preston and I attended our first PTO meeting today! It was interesting getting us all out the door where it mattered if Preston's diaper was changed and whether he was wearing his PJs still. But, we made it! (He's been running errands with me in his PJs..too cute!)

I thought this picture was too cute of him sitting so "big boy" like in the adult chairs snacking on his "cookie cereal" waiting on the meeting to start. He did rather well considering. He liked to play with the papers, and he really enjoyed the 4-year olds that sang a little song for us. (One kid cried the whole time, and Preston just stared looking rather wondrous.) Preston and I are only on one committee (yes, I am not overextending myself too terribly much). We are helping with the preschool fall festival this October. And, Preston will get to dress up and join in on the activities, too. And, we also got to join Jackson for a Chick-fil-A Biscuit PTO breakfast prior to the meeting. That was neat getting to see how comfortable Jackson was in his school surroundings. He really acted "at home" and seems to be adjusting SO well. He barely even tells me bye now when I drop him off. He learned a song today about a "bear hunt" during music that he really likes and sings alot now. I believe Preston was upset about having his picture made below and I think Jackson was "ordering" him to say cheese or something like that. Whew! It was early! I don't remember! :)

The Infamous Backpack!

The "backpack story" as it has now become known at my work and here at home is TOO long to type. But, for those of you who were following it I thought I'd show you the new, improved TSS (The Sharon School) backpack satchel. We both have realized we like it very much and it works well for our purposes. And, gosh he just looks so darn cute wearing it!

Thanks again, Greg, Paula, and Hayley! (and to everyone else who listened to me dramatize it all! :) )

Cold Chills...Good Ones..

This morning, Jackson asked why the water park is closed. I told him because summer is almost over. Then he frowned and said he didn't want summer to be over. I told him sure we do! That means fall is coming which is when he has his birthday, we go to the fairs, and have Halloween. He said will it be wintertime? I said really soon! Then Santa comes. It will be Jesus's birthday! He said who? I said Jesus, you know! God's son!

This is the good part...

He said, "Ohhh..yeah! Are we going to make the cake and put it up in the sky in the clouds?"

I smiled and got cold chills. I said, "No, sweetie. We'll just keep it down here because remember He is everywhere. So, He'll be here with us to see it."

Just noticed...

My time stamp is off by several hours..I'll try to fix it this post, but I am new at this :) So, like the 1st day of school it said I posted at 7:20am which it was more like 10:30am. Oh well, just didn't want anyone who paid attention to stuff like that to get confused. (Ok, now I'll really get made fun of!)

Whew! Sigh of Relief!

Thought some of you would find this as cute as Paul and I did. I was speaking to the preschool director yesterday (who is basically the "prinicipal" for lack of better description), and she had ended with saying she hoped Jackson was enjoying preschool so far. She then said she had been in his room Thursday and he looked like he was having fun.

So, immediately I panicked because she doesn't even know me! Much less know who Jackson is.

So, I casually laughed it off with a remark saying, "Wow, amazing you already know his name! I hope that's a good thing."

(This is the cute part because I can just picture it happening!)

She said she tries to learn the names quickly but the reason she knew Jackson was because he came up to her and introduced himself! She said it was rather cute!

I can see it now...

Ms. Cheryl says, "Class, this is Mrs. Natalie."

Jackson jumps up and down and runs up to her and says (probably stuttering from excitement), "My name's Jackson! Jackson Mitchell!"

Why do I ever doubt him?? :)

God has given him such a good balance of personality and character. Hopefully that personality will help him through any behavioral hangups he might experience, but let's just be positive right now. Because he has had two "Great!" reports!

Did you know there's a Waffle House on Turner Church Road?

OK, I apologize this post is really more about me than the JPMs. I just need a pat on the back. Although, once you realize what I am about to brag about, you are going to realize just how MUCH I trust those of you I sent the link to my blog page. I would not brag about this to anyone I would think would make fun of me. So, no making fun everybody!

If you know me well you know two things about me that are imperatively true:

1. I am NOT a morning person.
2. Until recently me and my two boys slept in each day. (and I mean really slept in)

So, get this!!!!!

I got up this morning (and intend to every school day between now and the end of the year) and cooked a full breakfast for my little school man (and Daddy, too!) Scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast! Jackson's favorites.

Let me just say Dad doubted I could do it in time and doubted I would do it. He told Jackson, "Well, now we know who she really loves." Aww, how sad. I never got up to make Dad breakfast! :( I got up at the last minute when I was in college and when I worked. And, after that I slept in with the boys because if anyone had rattled pots and pans they would have awoken.

So, I told Dad, "Yes, as you can see I love myself the most. Because it makes me feel really good about myself as a parent to do this!" Touche!!! (is that spelled right?)

Anyway, I did it because Jackson really only wants toast each morning. Sometimes he'll eat oatmeal (which I might offer with some bacon some mornings so he can still get some protein). And, the 1st day of school, when I picked him up even after their snack he was starving after just eating the toast and seemed so worn down. So, I wanted him to get an extra good breakfast to help with that. His schedule for eating is so upside down on the school days. It is hard to get a routine only going twice a week. But, I like the days off to plan family stuff.

As a child, I always wanted my mom to cook us a big breakfast. She only did on Sundays which is how I used to be. So, I'm proud of myself even if you all think I am nuts for typing this up! :)

PS I did buy some precooked bacon today at Publix for the rushed days.. Shhh..Don't tell! But, hey you can't buy precooked scrambed eggs! At least that I know of! I'll have to get back with you! ha ha :)

Dream on!

That is what I wanted to say to Jackson tonight who out of the blue came up with this:

"Mommy, remember when you were a little baby and I was a big boy and I picked you up and put you on the step and put you in time out? (laughs)"

I said, "What are you talking about? That never happened." (smiling)

He grins and says, "Yeah, that's what I wish for."

I tell you all he thinks about is being in charge. Poor guy..It'll be a LONG time before that happens. (Well, at least I hope so..that would mean he is married and leads his own family :( )

Ahhhh...

Ah, yes, life is back to normal! Just picked Jackson up, and they said he did great. Mrs. Cheryl said he got to be her helper. I did get to spy on them as they walked back in from the playground. Jackson looked like he was "gently" pushing the little boy in front of him. But, I couldn't really tell, and it appeared noone got upset or in trouble. I knew walking in line would be a hard hurdle for him. Hopefully it gets better.

So, now Preston is playing in the floor again. My house isn't quiet anymore as it is resonating with screams and hollering as the boys fight over the toys. Ah, yes, "peace and tranquility" return! I didn't know how much I liked it until it was gone. Lesson learned for the day: I am so thankful to be blessed to have been able to stay at home so much with the boys thus far and not have to take them to daycare. After seeing how upset I got this morning, I think it would have torn me up. Thank you Lord!

Have You Seen Me????

(Can you tell which one is which?)

Help! Have You Seen My Babies????

Where did they go? Jackson's first day of preschool was today. To my surprise, I cried when I dropped him off!! I don't know why I thought I wouldn't (Paul said afterwards he knew I would.) I looked down in the parking lot and the hallways because noone else looked upset! I felt embarassed for some reason. But, my eyes just welled with tears. Happy and sad. The only way I know to describe it was the same way I cried right after I gave birth. It was that same feeling. I just couldn't believe I just "handed him over" to someone else for 3 hours! I made the goodbye really quick as they had instructed us to do, but I wanted to stay! I also cried more when I got home. I felt so cruel for leaving him and wondered if he would be hurt when he realized I was at home with Preston without him. I am nuts!

Jackson on the other hand did great! He actually saw people doing carpool and asked if he could do that next time. And, he walked in ahead of me so I could videotape it all for Dad. He did look a little dazed and nervous right when we walked in. Thankfully his room is the first one on the hallway right by the entrance, so we didn't have far to second guess things. The only bad thing was they had changed his assigned seat since Open House! I thought he was going to go sit on the girl in his old seat. He was so nervous and all he knew to do was to go straight to that seat! But, I quickly helped him find the new seat. (Which is better because the old seat was really a tight squeeze and up against another kid's chair?? I had been worried about that being an issue.)

He hung up his backpack and put away his snackbox with the help of Mrs. Melissa. Then, it was over!

Our neighbor, Kathy (thanks, Kathy!) came over to sit at the house while Preston slept so the first day could be the least chaotic as possible. Preston only slept till 9:30 so hopefully the school days will be somewhat easy for him to adjust to.

BUT...big shocker! Preston won't play! Here I thought having all the toys without having to fight for them or argue over them would make him so ecstatic! But, he doesn't know what to do with himself without his leader! He is lost!!!!

So, my question is where are my babies?

Jackson is at school right now (which thankfully I only have an hour till I pick him up..at least it went fast!). And, I miss him. I didn't think I would, but I do. I feel like a part of me is missing!

Preston is talking in sentences (way early for his age) and seriously is growing up so so fast. Time just flew by with him!

(sigh) Oh well, I promise promise this the longest post I will ever type. I had told Angela and Jemekia this wouldn't be a "dear diary" type of page. But, today was just too emotional. I had to pour my heart out.

The pictures posted today are of the 1st day of school for Jackson and then a cute recent picture of Preston as well. Then to follow are pictures of the babies I was wondering if you had seen. I have lost them somewhere along the way! :(

Oops it won't let me post all those pics together..so I will do a separate post showing the "missing" babies! :)

Too Bad...

...we're not gamblers!! As we had promised Jackson ever since the 4th of July, we took him back to the drag races last night. Boy, I tell you he is quite the predictor! He guessed which car would win the entire night and seriously was only wrong two or three times. And, we were there for several hours. He had done it a little last time, but this time he was much more precise! It was too funny! Paul was shocked. I tell you, drag racing is in their blood I am afraid. :(

As for Preston...well he did a great job sitting still for such a little guy! He was really into it all, too. You can totally tell they are their daddy's children. Plus, the package was sweetened for little Preston when I whipped out the lollipops! His favorite! He ate his and finished off Jackson's! He loves candy! His poor teeth don't stand a chance between candy and sucking his thumb!

I see some Jr. Dragster racers in our future...and I do NOT like it! :(

Mommy, Mommy, It's Mrs. Cherwyl and Mrs. Melissa!!!"

Tonight we had Jackson's Open House at The Sharon School for 3-year old kindergarten! He starts school next Tuesday, and he will go every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30am-11:30am. (Yes, Preston is very ticked off for having to start getting up that early! Uh, well, Mommy, too!)

But it is going to all be worth it! You can see how much fun Jackson had at Open House and the excitement he is trying so hard to contain! It was picturesque to say the least. I had imagined this day over and over and wondered how it would go. And, I left a very proud parent knowing that this year for him is really going to be awesome and a great learning experience.

The title of the post is what Jackson said when he saw his teachers. He is shown above with them. He knew their names from a postcard they had sent him in the mail "inviting" him to Open House. He has been looking forward to this for weeks! Mrs. Cheryl (the blonde) is his teacher, and it turns out she and her son did soccer with us last season! What a small world! And Mrs. Melissa (the brunette) is the teacher's aide, and she and Jackson formed a bond rather quickly. She couldn't believe he ran up and hugged her the minute he saw her.

It was all so typical...Jackson showing his outgoing personality and bonding with the teachers quickly...and me, well nothing's changed here. Still the overachiever...I was only there for an hour, and you guessed it you're looking at the new room mom! (Although I am glad there are two I believe total :) )

Love These...

Developed some pics off my camera today (to make room for preschool pics coming up!)

Thought I'd share some favorites here...

First we have proof that boys do like to grocery shop! Just in their own hilarious way!

Then we have a picture of: "Ahh...The lazy days of summer..." Pure bliss! Jackson and Preston are chilling out (in their undies!) with their cousins John Michael and Bree. They were all chowing down on some dinner after a long, fun water playdate outside at our house a few Sundays ago.

Enjoy!

The Battle to Take Charge

Here's the conversation between the nurse at the pediatrician's office and Jackson today:

Jackson: "See how big I am!? I'm growing so tall! (jumping up and down and standing on tippy toes)

Nurse: "Yes, you are!"

Jackson: "Mommy says I'm gonna grow to be big and strong from eating all that food."

Nurse: "That's right!"

Jackson: "Uh-huh. Mommy says I have to grow all up."

Nurse: "Yes, you sure do! So, you can be an adult!"

Jackson: (as his eyes light up) "Yes! I will! So, then I can be in charge of Preston!"

HILARIOUS!

Poor innocent Preston who has no idea someone is planning to be his dictator! And poor innocent Jackson who has no idea Preston is growing up big and strong too and that he will soon give Jackson a run for his money!

This battle is just beginning!

For now, I told Jackson noone here is in charge but Mommy and Daddy. He said, "Well, I wanna be in charge of somethin'," and frowned. I said, "Hey, I know. You can be in charge of your stuffed animals!" Thankfully, for now he fell for it.

"Docta Sniff, Are You?"

This is what I heard today waiting in the room for over an hour at the pediatrician for Preston's 18 month check-up. (We're a little late considering he is almost 19 months old!)

Interpretation is:
"Doctor Smith, where are you??"

Yes, Jackson has called Dr. Smith Dr. Sniff since he was two, and now Preston has picked it up. And Preston was calling for the doctor because we were all three about to kill each other in that tiny room waiting on him.

But, he did finally come in and Preston is growing just as he should! He is 26 pounds, 15 ounces and 33 and 1/2 inches long. I told him that was great! Now he only has 6 and 1/2 more inches to grow to ride the cool rides at Disney World (Dizzy Wuld as Preston calls it.)

Then the doctor asked all the usual developmental questions. He asked if he can turn pages of a book. I said, "Sure! But, we never let him because he rips all the pages out!" Then Dr. Sniff asked if he is talking well and using at least 7 to 15 words. I said, "Well, of course! He's related to me and Jackson, isn't he?"

I don't think Dr. Sniff believed me as to just how much Preston talks, but when I told him examples of what he says he was shocked! He couldn't believe that Preston was saying several sentences at a time. He said that is very advanced! Way to go, Preston! And way to go, Jackson, for teaching him nearly ALL of those words!

Everyone, put your seatbelts on!

Thanks to Erica's wonderful advice and encouragment, I have now decided to join the world of blogging! I know I always jam everyone's inboxes with new pictures of the boys, so this way will be much easier for those who are interested to see what's going on in my crazy world with my three JPMs. That's the name of my page.

I know most of you are thinking, "What????"

My three JPMs are the blessings in my life that I will write about when I post.

John Paul Mitchell (Daddy/Paul)
Jackson Paul Mitchell (Jackson...my oldest munchkin)
John Preston Mitchell (Preston..my baby)

I planned it that way...all the important men in my life to have the same initials AND for each of my little guys to have one of my dear hubby's names. Bet some of you had no idea that was all planned :)

So, here's the invite into my life...I hope you will laugh and cry right along with me. So, put your seatbelts on! It's going to be a ride!
