Yesterday......(so funny!)

I know I promised yesterday I'd tell more funny stories today...and that's exactly what I'm going to do so listen up!

As you guys know, my daughter Lana, is 6 years old. And she comes out with things that I just can't help but laugh at. Yesterday was no exception. She comes home from school and we're doing the usual afternoon routines, getting her snack going through her bookbag, you parents know the drill. She then looks at me and says "Mommy, I have something to show you. I know you hate pink but look at it anyway." I giggle as she pulls this tube of pink lip gloss that one of her classmates had given her, puts some on her finger and wipes it all over my face and says "Mommy! You look beautiful!" I actually looked like a clown but hey, the things we do to make our kids laugh right? Then she says "Do you know who I love?" I said "Mommy?" she says "No, Matthew, and he's gonna be my boyfriend forever and we're going to get married." At this point I'm struggling to keep a straight face while talkin on Skype with Sue (my best friend in Pennsylvania). I say "Married huh? Well, congratulations." A few minutes later she comes back and puts her hands on her hips lookin like a little diva and says, "Mommy, where's your wedding dress?" I said "It's in the closet in the front room." She looks at me with a very serious face and says "Well, get it for me! I'm getting married you know!" I couldn't help it, I lost it laughing hysterically. She then tells me that she wants me to be the flower girl and Sue to be the minister. So Sue, if your reading this....I can't wait to hear what your going to say at the ceremony! LOL.

My son Connor then comes up to me and informs me that Lana is getting married because he wants spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, what one has to do with the other I'll never know...but it works for them I guess lol. A little while later, I'm cookin dinner (Spaghetti cuz that's what Connor wanted lol), when Tom comes home. The kids do they're usual rushing down the hallway to meet Daddy (I think that's his favorite part of the day). And Lana pipes up with "Daddy guess what! I'm getting married!" He dropped his pack, looked at Lana and said "I want his name, address and phone number so I can talk to him." She said "No Daddy, you can't hurt him I love him." LMAO!

Speaking of Daddy, Tom did the most amazing thing for me yesterday! I'm really into the Twilight series, as millions of people are. And I've been telling Tom forever that when New Moon came out on DVD I wanted it just for the special features. He kept telling me that it was pointless to buy the DVD since I already had the movie on my computer and I've seen it 3 or 4 times (I even got him to sit and watch it with me once which is amazing because he hates how vampires are protrayed in the series). But I still wanted it. Well yesterday, he comes home for lunch (something he almost never does), and hands me a package from the mailbox. I open the package and inside is the New Moon 2 disc special edition DVD! I was shocked. It's a little thing but SO sweet of him. That's how he is, if I even look like I might want something, whether I say I do or not, he'll get it for me as long as we can afford it.

That got me thinking, Tom loves the Highlander movies. Connor is actually named after Connor McCloud from the movie. His birthday is in August, and he'll be in Georgia training at that time. I'm thinking I'm going to get them for him and have them sent there while he's gone to suprise him. I feel like, for some reason, the past few days has been like a turning point for us. He's been more attentive, actually comming to bed with me, and now this movie thing. I feel like we're in a good place right now and I love it.

Ok, on to my blast from the past. I'm going to tell you about the day Connor was born, actually that night after everyone had gone from the hospital. Tom was only able to stay with me the first night this time as we had Lana at this point. Connor was born by c-section as well, only because the dr's wouldnt let me have him the natural way. Anyway, that night after everyone had gone home from they're ooohing and ahhhing and giving me congratulations and stuff, Tom and I decided to get some sleep. About 3 am, I heard the baby crying and Tom got up to change his diaper and get his bottle ready. I open my eyes to watch him, I love watching him with the first diaper. He was a seasoned pro by now, but had never changed a boys' diaper before. So I'm watching him go through the motions half asleep when all of a sudden he jumps back like something startled him. I said "what's the matter honey? Is the baby ok?" He finishes the diaper, gets the bottle and hands me the baby saying "Yep, and his sprinkler system works great too!" LOL!

That's my story for the day, off to finish the school thing and stuff! Until we speak again enjoy your life in the sunshine!
