Why don't mommies get sick days?

I don't like being sick. I guess nobody does. I have a very nasty cold and I still have to work. I am not working very hard but my kids aren't letting me call in sick. They still need rides to swimming lessons and dance and can you believe they still want to eat? I wish that when us moms were sick a maid or a nanny would be automatically sent over. My house suffers when I am sick. I just can't make myself clean. Oh well. I guess that's the price I pay for getting to be a stay at home mom. Let's just hope my husband doesn't get what I've got. He would be flat in bed. Sorry Scott it's true. He would also get better way sooner from all that rest.

No more sucky face

Gabe loves to chew on my face and frankly I love it too. I know that part of the reason he does it is because he is teething. So I shouldn't be surprised that he popped a tooth through today. He has been going to town on my face lately. Much to my sadness I am afraid I am going to have to end our face chewing sessions. He now has a very sharp little object in his mouth. It is not so much fun for me anymore. I guess we'll have to find something else for him to teethe on. He's got another one coming through. At least their the bottom ones. Those uppers are a killer when you're nursing.

He is also learning to clap. When we were in D.C. last week I noticed he had started clapping. I didn't really think he knew what he was doing, so I thought I would test him. I clapped, he clapped. I about did a back flip. You would think by the fifth kid I would cease to be amazed. I have not. Every new little thing he does brings just as much joy to my heart as it did when Hayley did it. My kids thinks it's pretty great too. They tell everyone they see that Gabe can clap and they are happy to demonstrate his new ability. Who needs T.V. when you've got kids.

Congrats Kaydee!!

Haylie Bowler's sister Kaydee graduated today!! She is a super amazing artist. Now she has proof! Yeah for Kaydee!! I love her. We spent 5 crazy days in Mexico together. Haylie is lucky to have a sister like her. Now she gets to go home to her hubby. Good for him, sad for us. I wish her the best in her life and hope the all her wildest dreams will come true.
