happy chaos

the kids wrecked the bed

and felt no remorse...

the lull before the storm

little red isn't sure he wants in on the action

two in the bed...

cuddles before bed

no, it's MY stick!

wrestling with her man

little red plays referee

put on your big hats & sunscreen, people...

yeah, i never thought it would be me either...

things i'm happy about today

~ i have a job. yes, you read correctly!! i. have. a. job! it started on Monday, and even though i still don't really know what i do, i'll figure it out... and i'm thankful for it.

~ as usual, i'm happy that my sweet girl is curled up on the couch beside me, snoring gently as i type. i wouldn't have minded sleeping in the morning, but how would she know i didn't have to get up for work at 5:30, like i have for the last five days? she just thinks this is our new schedule! so we've enjoyed a nice long snuggle, a chase about the back yard, breakfast, and now some digestive lounging on the couch.

~ it's raining out, so i don't need to feel badly about lounging and not get right to mowing the lawn and moving that pile of earth in the drive into the new vegetable beds.

~ my dad called to say he and my mom are looking into flights to come visit for a week next month. too bad i'll have to work while they're here!! but, yay!! i have a job!! i am so hoping they can come down.
