thank you insomnia !

i have read 3 books in the past 2 weeks due to you.

i am not complaining but i would love to sleep through

 the night once in awhile !

-

my sil lisa recommended "educated".

totally loved it.

what an amazing eye opening journey.

-

"confessions of a domestic failure" was a total

laugh out loud walk down memory lane when the kids where little

and it was just an accomplishment to take a shower.

breezy read but cute.

-

"tell me more" is classic kelly corrigan

at her best.

loved her mini memories as she looked back at her journey.

-

cheers to library ebooks that you can borrow in 

the middle of the night & read on an ipad without

turning on the bedroom light !

any words needed ?

colin's smile tells it all !

colin has joined the club - no more wisdom teeth.

dr. david helped put colin in the car.

love this silly talk time.

colin: "mom, we can walk home."

me: "i think we'll drive."

colin: "mom, we can really walk home."

me: "i think we'll drive."

(my finger is now on lock door button)

colin: "mom, i'd like to walk home."

me: "i think we'll drive."

colin: "ok, we'll walk"

me: "home already - a lot faster than walking."

follow up story.

child #1 has wisdom teeth out.

one week before, i take completed forms to surgeon, 

prefill antibiotics & pain medication,

make 5 flavors of jello & stock the freezer with ice cream.

child # 2 has wisdom teeth out.

day of surgery, i bring completed forms to surgeon.

i drop off prescriptions on way home from surgery to pick up later,

i make jello that afternoon & steve picks up ice cream on the way home from work.

child # 3 has wisdom teeth out.

i never even printed forms, 

filled out paperwork while colin is in pre-op area,

medicated him with leftover pain pills from child #2 

and a couple advil in the bottom of my purse &

check amazon prime to see if they can deliver premade jello.

HA!
