Hey strangers! How are ya? Yes, we are alive, yes, we are doing fine, I am just a lazy worthless bum who, when she has time to sit down and put her feet up, prefers to instantly fall asleep instead of playing on the computer.
We just got back from a week of fun-filled family time at Disney World. It kicked my ass, repeatedly. Naturally there were record highs in Orlando while we were there. A 4 year old in the company of his doting grandparents and uncle at DW turns into a demon after about 72 hours....I spend half thetrip making threats to the little guy with my brother repeatedly saying "My sister's a B-word..." Apparently it's his theory that you just let the little monsters whine, whimper, scream, etc...instead of beating them regularly. We did have much fun and will have to go back again someday but oh my gosh is it good to be home. I'm exhausted and need a vacation after my vacation.
My child turns 5 in two days. Did you see that? My itty bitty baby boy, in less than 48 hours will be a 5 year old. Three weeks ago we registered for kindergarten.... I did not curl up in the fetal position and cry and suck my thumb...I might have wanted to but I didn't. How can he be so big already? How is it possible that we're about to start school? I must have fallen into some freakish time warp somewhere that aged us all 5 years because he's still just a tiny baby in my eyes.
Is it weird that drug reps in my office have started asking where they're going to be allowed to find me a man? Is this my clue that I've hidden in the closet (not the gay closet, just a nice dark cozy closet thank you) for long enough and should open the door and join the world again?
And one last suggestion for you all...if you ever volunteer to assistant coach something, say soccer, you should probably make sure you actually know the rules of the game before, someday, unexpectedly, your head coach can't make it to a game and you might, possibly make a complete and total fool out of yourself on the field...just a thought.....
Happy Birthday C-man!!!

Happy Birthday to Connor AND his Momma! He may be getting bigger, but he will ALWAYS be your baby.

Rules are overrated. At Connor's age, they just love running around kicking the ball aimlessly and having fun anyway. :)
Also, Disneyland sounds like it was a fantastic time, record highs and whimperiness nonwithstanding.
