Refusing to turn 3

Ty celebrated his 3rd birthday on Monday. Although if you ask him...he is still 2. We had a great celebration. It started with a Pan"cake" breakfast.

Golfing with Dad was a special treat. Then finally the big party at the Park! Ty was excited to invited "nuncle natan, will, yayton, avee, cassity(x2), yissa, aunt kiki, aunt hidy, kasin, nuncle scaut, and kendy."

All day long he talked about his cake. He wanted worms on it so his wish was my command! It was fun to see him enjoy his day.

I think he loved everything he got at his 3rd birthday party but refuses to turn 3 because that means he needs go potty in the toilet, stop waking Mom up at night, and drink from a big boy cup! Here are some questions he is asked regularly with his usual answers!

Do you want to go pee pee in the potty?

"No, I go pee pee in my diaper!"

Are you 3 today?

"No, I not 3, I 2"

Are you my Big Boy?

"No, I not big, I little"

Can you clean up your toys?

"No, I not clean, YOU clean ma toys mom" or "No way mom jose!"

As you can see his favorite thing to say is "No!!"

He is a great joy in our family and we can honestly say that he rules this roost!

TY

p.s. - Ty should be in bed but he is tormenting me. His birthday balloon is on the ceiling in my "vaulted ceiling" room. I tell him I will get it tomorrow. He tells me "I gonna get monster power and i get it!" I guess it is true...3 year olds are monsters!

Volumize this!

For 31 years I have suffered from a well know hair status known as "fine" hair. Those who love me call it stringy & flat! Well, I for years have been battling this condition and have sought solace in all kinds of products promising umph and lift!

I am here to say in the words of REO Speedwagon "I don't believe it...not for a minute" They just don't work. Not even having a bowl hair cut until I was 8yrs old helped give me any more than what I got. I have tried every product out there and in fact I have countless bottles of umph under my sink half used because after awhile they-- just don't work.

So what is a girl to do?... I guess I get out of bed every morning, bend over and blow dry my hair! And for one maybe two minutes after I flip up my hair it will have body and life!

Good Things

A list of "Good Things" I encountered today:

* Peachtree is complete!!!!!!

* I only had 2 Girls Scout cookies instead of 5...,6...,7...

* I exercised.

* I made dinner.

* I did laundry.

* I bathed my smelly 2 year old!

And all of these Good Things were made possible by today's bright rays of that sweet sunshine! I could have pretty much guaranteed a "Stinker" of a day if that sun didn't shine! So here's to you...you beautiful red/orange ball!

Keep on shining! Mama likey!

A little FYI for those who don't know!

So I thought that I would fill you in on the Peachtree "joke"! For my business I am responsible for the accounting side. Why you may ask??? Well simple really...I married an accountant! Believe me it is not because of my stellar skills in the math department. In fact I am reminded everyday how "NOT" skilled I am with numbers!

So we have established my "inabilities" in Math but, we have yet to discuss my "abilities" in the procrastinating department! I can procrastinate like no ones bid-ness! I am really remarkable at this talent! So remarkably talented that I have managed to procrastinate a whole years worth of Card Co. accounting ("keeping the books" for those who are down with the lingo) on the oh so loved Peachtree software. So for this last month...January IS almost over right? I have been slaving away at my beloved Peachtree! The only joy and solace I have found in these few weeks has been mocking the before mentioned software and joking about how I would love for it to burn! So there you have it...the whole story!

On a side info note** I have found that Peachtree and chocolate (Thanks Tamara & Jean) go very well together! So I better finish soon or my rear end might just be bigger than it was when I began this quest many moons ago!

(no pun intended)

I can't wait until the day when I will call Peachtree my friend no longer! Bon Voyage and I hope to not see you again...well at least until next month!

Winter time

One of the things I love in the winter time is a good roaring fire (a real one) on a cold day. Now that I live in the NW I don't get to enjoy them at all. Sure I have a fake fireplace but I don't use it much.

So if I had a wood burning fireplace I would definitely use it. And you know what wood I would use? Peach tree wood. Iwould kick back and watch as the wood was devoured in the flames. It would bring my life so much joy! I would watch it burn all night long and when the fire starts to die I would be right there to throw on more peach tree wood! Oh to have a fireplace that burns peach tree wood! Now that would be the life!

Deep Thoughts

If I was a tree.

I would be a Peach tree!
