Tricky...
This morning we had very bad Thunderstorms, again! We have had the a lot lately. Anyway, due to the storms and a very late night, with little sleep, the kids did not make it to school. Yes, I am an incredible slacker! There is only 5 days left and I am a slacker! I just felt so awful this morning that I could not bring myself to get showered and dressed to walk them into school, as we were late because the alarm didn't go off because of the storm. So, they were home and I was i pain. I went back to the doctor this afternoon and I am still in pain.
Moving on, tomorrow(really later today)Killian is receiving an award at school! She is so excited! She has been waiting all year! We do not know what it is for yet, but we are excited! She got her grandmother to buy her a new dress for award day! I will post pics of the dress and award later today!

CAUTION: This post has a PG-13 rating!!!!
Last night Ben and I tucked the kids in to bed, I took some heavy duty pain meds and off we went to the living room. What took place next was a bizarre sequence of events, so bizarre in fact, I had to ask Ben this morning if it actually happened or if it was the pain meds.
Back to the living room, Ben and I are sitting there and all of the sudden Maggie comes out crying that she is scared. So, the two of us(not sure why both) go to tuck her back in when she refuses to lie down and stats screaming and crying about...the TOOTH FAIRY!!! Yes, the very scary tooth fairy! Not just crying either, there was shaking and hyperventilating,too!!! This went on for no less than an hour. We could not calm her down. We tried all we could to calm her short of telling her that there was no such thing! Nothing worked! So, after an hour of this Declan comes out and says,"Look Maggie, this is crazy! The Tooth Fairy isn't even real! It is just daddy." Ben and I said nothing, just sat silent.
With that, Maggie went to bed!
What I am wondering now is, are we off the hook for the money?

Gone!
Last night was the first night in over 8 years that I spent ALONE! That's right, ALONE! No babies or husband to be found! It was amazing. Weird, but amazing! Ben was on Childcare duty tonight because I was having some friends over, but instead of having to entertain them alone he decided to make a fun up to NJ for the weekend! I wasn't sure if he was going to make it out the door with all three, but he did and they all seem to be having a great time!
My in-laws have a new pool that the kids have been dying to get into since Christmas and today they did! It has been awhile since they had seen Pop Pop and Grandma too, so this was a perfect plan! On top of the new pool, the kids got their first trip of the summer, to Pt. Pleasant Boardwalk in so they are in heaven!
I enjoyed my night last night and my day today, but I think by tomorrow I will be missing my monsters! And I will admit, I was a little happy to hear that at least one monster missed me tucking her in:)

8 Days Left!!!!
We are at 8 and counting, and the next 8 school days cannot go fast enough! I am just ready for it to be over! I am ready for some good relaxation! Days of relaxed bedtimes and no plans or schedules! Trips to the pool and the beach! Family dinners and fun.
Just some time for us to step outside the rat-race and enjoy life a little! Trips downtown, play dates that run late, a spur-of-the-moment camping trip, all the things we cannot do during the school year!
It does seem that the summers are getting shorter and shorter though:)

So Proud!!!!
I love days when my kids are proud of themselves!It makes me so happy for them!
Today Declan received a medal for running at least 25 miles during PE this year! He worked really hard to reach that goal! He was so proud of himself! I was so happy to tell him that I was proud of him too; proud because he worked that hard for something he wanted. I am not sure he fully understood that, but he was proud!

A Great Day!
This is my first year participating in this
and I am so happy to be doing so. Last year I had hoped to, but got busy and forgot! Not this year!
Over the past few years, Gay and Lesbian Family Rights have become a important to me. I have met many people over the past few years that have help me see the injustice that these families are facing and I want that to change! I want families to be treated equally and marriage to be open to all adults that want to marry! I want my children to grow up and barely remember that people were discriminated against for loving the someone.
I want to thank all the friends I have made throughout the years, mostly my blog friends, for answering all the questions I have had along the way. I hope that each one of these annual blog days brings more and more awareness to how much more "alike" than "different" all families are!
