Umm....what was I saying?

Well...ye olde toothe fairie might have overdone it. She left $10.00 and by all the reactions we've had today over that amount I'm preeeeety sure it was too much! Why was I so far off base? It's not like I haven't had other children who recently have lost their teeth. Mackenzie even reminded me today (although I'm sure she's terribly mistaken) that not only did the tooth fairy not give her any big amount of money for her first tooth, that apparently the hag did not leave her ANY MONEY for the first 8 teeth!!! I totally beg to differ but she's adamant about it. And she's hardly ever wrong.

So anyway, I feel like a grandma or something that's totally out of touch. Weird, 'cause my babes are still losing teeth...all of them!! I (oops, I mean ye olde toothe fairie) should be a little more used to the game, you know...with the tour; along for the journey; seen that bag of tricks etc.

But apparently...I've (I mean 'she's' ) forgotten.

Wow...hope this isn't an early form of senility.

What if I start to forget other things? Like...which car is mine and I accidentally try to get into some hot Mercedes? Or...that I DON'T have a Coach/Prada/Hermes bag and I accidentally take someone else's? Or...heaven forbid...I forget I'm allergic to seafood and start snarfing away on caviar (like that's ever going to be a possibility). I'm just saying....

If you see my kids wandering around the store without me, it's possible I've forgotten I hve any and have simply left the store without them. If you find them, please return them to my house immediately where, upon receipt of them, I will immediately accuse you of kidnapping (because I will have obviously forgotten your face) and will run screaming to the phone to call for police support.

Now...what IS that emergency number again? 822? 733? 119?

My girlfriend told me the story to pass on to the kids when there is a "discrepancy" in tooth funds. It goes like this, "The tooth fairy starts out with the same amount of money each night. If lots of kids have lost their teeth then each one gets a little bit less, if not many kids lost teeth then they get a bit more than usual." It has worked in our house during times when there is limited choice of denomination in the wallet at 11:00 pm.

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o

Happy 20th Anniversary to Us!!

Yeah, so the old man and I have been hitched for 20 years today.  Been together for 30 years (yes, we started dating when we were BABIES!) and yes, I have been with him for more than 1/2 of my life.  That's pretty crazy when you think of it...he's been there for EVERY major milestone of my life, and I for his.  It's pretty hard for either of us to pull a 'remember when' memory from a period of our lives in which the other person wasn't present.  Oh sure we went off and did things separately, like I lifeguarded for 2 summers in a little town in the Interior, and he lived in the Okanagan for about a year, and he climbed mountains with friends and did hikes that I wasn't part of,  but we were still a couple.   We started dating when I was 14 and he was 17--I had to get special permission from my parents to date him because I wasn't allowed until I was 16.  I remember the discussion quite vividly and my parents agreed to allow him to come over, and to take
