Damion's Birthday

Damion is eight now :) His birthday was yesterday and he had his friend Jake spend the night. I tortured myself by taking them to go see High School Musical 3, but they had a good time. There was one kissing scene and Jake covered his eyes and Damion closed his, thank goodness they still think it's gross. I let Damion open his presents yesterday, but his birthday party is tomorrow. He was pretty excited. Between family and friends and classmates, I'm sure it will be crazy.

We just got our first rain/snow slush mix this morning. It was only for a few minutes, but I'm sure that it means that snow is coming. Time to change the tires on the car.

I've taken that last few days off of work because my daycare provider, Kim, is on vacation. Good thing too because Alex is sick again. He's got a fever and runny nose and got sick last night. Poor thing, he seems to be doing a little better today at least. Hopefully he doesn't get everyone sick tomorrow at the party. My mom will be home tomorrow so she is going to watch him for the next two weeks until Kim gets back.

The aquarium

Aaron and I had a great time in Seattle. We just went for 3 days, but we met some awesome people, I got to see my best friend and I got to meet one of Aaron's, and we did tons of stuff. We went to the aquarium, Seattle Center, we had brunch at the top of the Space Needle, we went to a burlesque show at the Can Can. We shopped, we ate great food, we toured Underground Seattle. It was a lot of fun, but we were ready to come home to the kiddos.

Trying to Diet

Battle Of The Bulge

"I'll start a new one Monday", we've heard it all before,
but if I don't really start one soon I won't make it through the door.

I start with good intentions of that I can't deny,
I'm getting fatter by the hour, I'll really have to try.

So no more chips or chocolate, no more 'pigging out'
I'll be be very careful what I eat of that there'll be no doubt.

I'll watch my waist get tiny, I'll watch my figure thin,
Oh what a joy it's going to be to at last be nice and slim.

I can see me walking down the street in dress size number ten,
I just have to resist and resist I will when I get a hungry yen.

With exercise in every form and regular daily jogs,
you'll see me lazing by the pool in my top designer togs.

So come join me all you tubbies, come join with me at last,
I'll need all the help that I can get to get me through this fast.

If you see me eating lollies or sneaking greasy fries,
then smack my hand and click your tongue, remind me of my size.

I'm sure that I can make it, I just need a little space
before Monday comes around again, till then I'll "stuff my face"!
