Dear Alfred,
        Today Evie went to the doctors for her one year checkup.

poor little fartwarter had to have 5 shots. Her little legs look like pin cushions. I am so glad we are able to keep our kids safe from what used to be deadly diseases. It is still traumatizing to hold your baby down so a strange nurse can stab her repeatedly. yep this is the seedy underbelly of parenting.
Quick shout out to Missy and Tracy thanks again for taking care of me and getting Allen and Skylee to school.
And now our segment what on earth did Jonas mean by that?
" I don't ever want to fall in love i want to do everything by my self. mom stop showing off."
Ok go what did Jonas mean by that? Let me know.

Allens word of the day Is woopster: One who makes many mistakes but in a hipster fashion. See also nut nut badingy.
Well not a lot to say today I guess i am just too tiered I will talk to you soon Alfred.
Happy to live were I live.

Dear Alfred,
          Today was a wired day. I don't know if it is the new dish detergent I switched to my; husband being gone all day at work, or our new robot overlords. What ever it is It has put me in a mood. I didn't what to be this bloger but this post is going to be a rave. I am just so angry but I have never done this before so bear with me (I think thats the animal bear the fact I don't know speaks volumes about me.) Ok so hear we go.
Were do you get off? I mean really; constantly telling me my way of doing things is wrong, shamelessly bragging about how great you are and how inferior I am. OH and the exploitation of people and the planet did you even think of the planet? So much waist going on and you still  have the nerve to tell me my well honed skills are not only woefully inadequate but I am not a good mother because of it. I think you owe me an apology and I won't rest till I get one. So the next time you even think about entering my home you remember this post.
Well that was great I feel so much better. I get why people wright in journals now. I think I can put it behind me now. I think my husband will be glad to hear I let it go. he was getting sick of hearing about my feud with the people at Swiffer.
Well Alfred I am sure your wondering what the answer to the quiz is and Allen said B congratulations to whoever guessed B you may collect your prize at  1313 mockingbird lane.
One last thing as I wrap this post up I love my Jonas boy He is so cute riding his scooter I can't explain it I will take video and post it later.
Thanks for listening Alfred.

Dear Alfred,
         To day was a crazy day and when I say crazy I mean same old same old. Jonas went to school Allen didn't (his poor teacher was sick) and Evie learned how to unroll the trash bags. I picked lots of tomato's from the garden and kept the house clean oh and when shopping we were out of everything except fruit roll ups we are doing fine on fruit roll ups so thats good.You know what's nuts? I have spent the whole day running around doing this and that and I can't for the life of me remember anything else. I read this and it sounds like I did so little but I swear I was busy all day. Weird.
Oh a bit of good news Michal is starting his new job tomorrow. and the world makes sense again. That reminds me Alfred do you know what a ca-son is? I have bean singing Over hill over dale we will hit the dusty trail and those ca-sons go rolling along, all day. It might be a stupid question but It is really bugging me. what are they and why do they go rolling along? Let me know I figure you of all people should know. Maybe not I don't think you ever played a military man have you. You did play a grumpy poker player who tried to kill Mel Gibson so thats got to be kinda close right? right?
Anyway I think it is time for the ALLEN QUOTE OF THE DAY *applause* Thank you thank you lets get right to it,did Allen say after 10 minutes of Star wars (the good ones) did he say?
A: Mom your bed is a futime it's a funny word it means it doesn't have weals on it.
B: I learned this move from DJ Maccoy.
C: don't go in there it is an instruction place
Please lock in your votes. as always the winner receives a one of a kind peace of Allen lowe original artwork valued today at close to .75$ so get your guess in.
Anyway not a bad day,still the luckyist person you know,

First post day first post day.

I decided to finally join the 21st century and get myself a blog. (Thank you Julia for giving me the nudge I needed.) I don't so much want to see how many followers I get or even if I get one, I am doing this for posterity. I am not the best record keeper in the world so this is my digital record of my life and the life of those who impact me. Yeah, like a written record of everything I do daily. Man this is a great idea it makes me wonder why nobody has thought to do this before. Now what should I call my new invention. Maybe I could treat it like I am writing to someone; yeah, that's the ticket. But I can't really say Dear Mable or Dear Dennis that just seems weird to write to someone who doesn't exist. Hmm, maybe I can write to someone who does exist. Perhaps I could wright to an idol of mine like Joan of arc. Yeah, she would understand my day to day struggle with parenting and being a wife and school and...OK, Joan of arc is out. I think her being dead might put a cramp in this pen pal relationship. Man this is hard no wonder it takes people forever to invent things. Let's see, what about someone who is alive today like Alfred Molina. Yeah, he gets pressure and he's alive; yeah, that's the stuff (I loved him in Spiderman but lets face it who didn't).  OK, that's it. So now that we have that covered lets take her out for a test spin shall we.

Dear Alfred, (Yeah, I like it)
               Today was a great day. I got up and let Skylee in, got the boys ready for school and walked Jonas to school with Tracy. My husband is home right now; his new job doesn't start till Thursday, Friday or next Monday. Alfred you don't have to tell me how crazy it is, I know. But hey, it is nice to have him home. He helps a lot around the house. Today he made me lunch and is taking care of Evie as we speak. Oh quick jab into your life what is up with you being on Harry's Law, eh? I wouldn't say anything if it was like it was last season; that was a great show but now it is all retooled and gross. Anyway, let me know. And just to keep things clear your character was the highlight of the show so good for you.

OK, now back to me. I love staying at home with the kids; they are so funny. Like take Jonas, my oldest, he is 6 now and is convinced that if he is within ear shot of a bee he will be stung and it will hurt. The odd thing is he has never been stung or even remotely close to a bee. I don't get it. As a mom I of course think it is something I did. I did tell him that bees sting and we should stay away from them but don't kill them they are very good for the garden. That must be it. Or maybe it is me reading The Big Book of Killer Bees to him every night. I guess we will never know.

Then there is Allen, my second boy, he is 4 almost 5.  He doesn't mind the bees but some of the weirdest things come out of his mouth like take last week he comes out of the bathroom and announces to me  "Mom I wiped so good. My bum is so shiny." How he can tell I don't know; I can't see my own bum. That reminds me to get back into shape. I really should be doing my Dance Central. Now that's a work out. You should try it. Don't try and do I've got a feeling by Black Eyed Peas 'til you've done a few others first or you will regret it.


And that brings us to Evelyn. We call her Evie (though some on Facebook call her Evil, you know who you are *cough* Aunt Em *cough*) due to the incredibly large amount of baby Evelyns in our area. No, that's not true. I can't lie to you, we were planing on calling her Evie from day one after the girl on the Mummy. She is now 1 year old as of last Thursday and cuter than a bugs ear. She can't really walk yet, just a few steps here and there, but she crawls faster than most people walk. (Of course that doesn't include certain doctors that have crazy robotic arms attached to there backs that do the walking for them that I might mention. Lets face it they're in a class of their own.) So I guess she doesn't feel like she has a reason to walk. She gives high fives thanks to Aunt Stacie and every time she does she yells or growls, I don't know what that sound she makes is, but she does it. As I write this I realize I really need to learn to spell the word does, thank goodness for spell check. Anyway, I think that is enough for now.
 Talk to you soon Alfred,
