SERIOUSLY??! WHY THIS WEEK???!

Teagan doesn't get sick very often, in fact, for the most part, she is a really healthy little girl. But of course, since we are supposed to be leaving for the Wisconsin Dells on Friday for the holiday weekend, she has managed to get pink eye in both eyes, yes BOTH eyes, not just one?? Both! AND the world's nastiest cold just to top that off! Oh yes, the green slime, hacking cough, weepy eyes, nasty cold!! Yep, it's officially icky!! Took her to the Dr. today so here's hoping that the eye drops & antibiotics prescribed will do the trick and fast. The poor baby is miserable, I feel so bad for her. She sounds like she has been smoking two packs a day for the past 30 years. It's all about jello, ice pops & juice at this point.

OH... and just to put the cherry on top, I got nailed by the newly installed traffic cameras in our area. Just lovey! Please do not pass go, do not collect anything, in fact, why don't you pay us $100 for failing to stop at a red light for a minimum of 3seconds before making a right turn. Seriously!? Anyone up for a stiff martini?
Well, at least they were nice enough to include a photo of me actually committing the "traffic violation". I am so tempted to try "license-blocker" - apparently illegal, but highly effective in playing 'catch-me-if-you-can' with the local authorities.

SUN, SWIMMING AND SANDCASTLES!

We spent an awesome day playing in the sun, swimming in the pool and building sandcastles today!! And yes, before any of you freak out because my child got a little sunburned, I am an awful mother and completely forgot to put sunblock on my child while she was out in the heat of the day playing T-Ball yesterday (thanks to the asshats at the park district)!! Per Grammy Africa's instructions we have been applying lotion!


















T-BALL OR BALLET?!

I really wanted to get Teagan involved in a summer activity, so thanks to the 'thoughtful' park district, who, apparently believe all woman are stay-at-home moms and have the option of signing their kids up for classes Monday - Friday between 10 am and 3 pm??!! HELLO!! Some of us work full time and don't have that option? So, needless to say Teagan now plays T-Ball on Saturdays from 1 pm - 1:45 pm, I won't even go into how completely stupid that is??! (3 & 4 year olds out in the heat of the day, right at nap time)??!! Apparently the coordinator for the park district doesn't have kids! Anyway, Teagan is having a ball, literally! She is loving T-Ball, so that's all I could ask for =) I am sure as the season goes on she will eventually get the hang of it... Let's just say, mine, was the only child doing ballet in the outfield!! Gotta love the girl!








THAT'S JUST HOW I ROLL...

So I walk into the living room the other day and here is what I find...

My little CEO in training really breaking in the "work station"!!
