First Day of School!

Time has flown by so quickly, there are two pre-schoolers living my house now! I can't believe it, Em and Ted have both gotten so big.

Emma had a great day of school on Monday! She said she loves her teachers, and was very excited to take her lunch box with and eat at school with her friends! So hard to believe that she will be 4 years old this year!

Ted did great too! He ran into his classroom with lots of enthusiasm. And the little booger didn't miss me for a second, he looked back and said "bye mom"! His teacher said he an awesome day today!

So proud of my little guys!

Do You Remember Where You Were.......9/11/2001?

It's so hard to believe that the Twin Towers went down 8 years ago. I will always remember what I was doing that day 8 years ago. My mom was at work and asked me to bring her lunch that day, and I was getting ready to leave, she called to tell me I couldn't get into the unit she was on because the VA was on lock down, just as she said that, I saw what was going on on the television, and I looked over at my brother and said "is this a movie, or is this for real?"

That whole day felt like we were living in a different time period. It felt like a dream, and that any minute I would wake up from. My thoughts went back 60 years to how those poor men and women who were attacked during Pearl Harbor. I couldn't help but think how could this be happening it's 2001?

Life seemed to go on after that fateful day as Americans each of our lives was changed in some way. One thing is certain, as the anniversary of this tragic day comes and goes each year, we will always remember where were and what we were doing on September 11, 2001.

The Other Woman!

Dan and I have been keeping a secret now for the past 6 months, and it is that he is having an affair! Yes, Dan has taken up with our cocker spaniel. It was very discrete at first, but gradually he and the dog have developed feelings for one another!

Who would have thought another woman would take my place in my hubby's heart, but it has happened. Dan used to come home and give me a peck on the cheek, and ask how my day had been. Now it is all about Lissie! He comes home gives the dog a peck, a belly rub, and asks her how her day was! How the hell hard do you think her day was....She's a damn dog! The dog has even claimed my side of the bed! What should I do? I mean look at that dog, and that cute little face, how can I deny her the things I love so dear....especially my side of the bed!

Good Bye Summer 2009!

It feels so weird that summer is coming to a close! It has been a summer of 9 straight days of rain, one of my children riding their first roller coaster, awesome trips, friends, and lots of FUN! We even had a one trip to the ER for Mommy, and it wasn't because one of the kiddos was hurt!



As summer is coming to a close the reality of having TWO pre-schoolers is setting in! There will be new memories to be made, and many firsts to be had!

Good bye Summer 2009, and Thanks for the MEMORIES!

ATTITUDE!

Never in my life did I think that the attitude that comes with raising a little girl would come so soon! Recently Emma has developed this little tude.....Wait! HUMONGOUS tude whenever I say anything to her, that usually ends in her saying "Whatever" with her rolling eyes, and letting out huge breath!

My mother's voice keeps popping into my head saying " I hope you have 10 girls with an attitude as big as yours."

Thanks Mom.....I got those 10 girls all rolled into one Emma Louise Miller! By day she is a little angel, by night she turns into Emma Miller devil child! This has seriously made me wonder what the teenage years are going to be like, and will we BOTH survive it? Will we survive age 3 and will we even make it to 4?
