Its Official...

Summer has just begun. Lily of course got mostly straight A's..(with the exception of a B in math..she must have my gene's). Today is a great day...Lily's 'grow a frog' arrived in the form of a tadpole..see, here he is..I think she named it Bob or Betty..And our package of books came. This is mine and Lily got 2 of these..and Justin..I dunno, some book based on the current video game he is playing..Conan or something...

I bought some vanilla bean ice cream to make some killer dessert thingy to celebrate my big 4th grader..

We may head to the beach on Saturday..I still have to by those beach shoes for the kids because stepping on some glass or random hypodermic needle would totally blow ya know..

Unfortunately I never created a master plan..some sort of magical agenda to survive the summer. I totally and completely suck.

There's always ghetto park, the pool, and play dates. Lily's gal pals are always wanting to come chill over here and do whatever it is that tween-ish girls do. I may watch a friends daughter on Monday's which would be OK..Jack loves her and they all (for the most part) play nicely together..works for me so I can veg on the computer or concoct something cool to eat.

Besides surviving the summer with two kids that are literally arch enemies, my goal is to loose 40, I mean 20 pounds. I can do it. Yeah I can totally do it. I mostly drink my breakfast..and no its not that Slim Fast shit...its the breakfast of champions and super mom's (and unfortunately its not Mimosa's either..) its coffee. 2-3 cups of that will do me good until oh I'd say 12-1 ish,

then I am pretty much ravenous and could 'pull a Salsa' and eat any random plastic thing on the floor. But I do have some restraint and eat yogurt and fruit. Its really hard not to eat whatever the kids didn't finish. I mean c'mon we can't waste that deluxe mac and cheese, there is children starving in parts of the world and who am I to toss perfectly good eats away? So yeah..hopefully I reach my goal. I have a pair of swim shorts or board shorts or whatever they are called and my goal is to actually where them and not bust them out in the gut..I think I will hang them on the fridge..and that string bikini in the pantry..and those skinny jeans that I wore way before kids..stick those in the freezer and then I am all set..there is some good inspiration for ya.

I guess I am on the hunt for a Napoleon Dynamite shirt in a 4T..anyone know where I can get that? We had to watch that move for the 1,364,789th time this morning and Jack was practically in tears begging for a shirt..he said he would be 'very happy to open it for his bday'..haha.

Justin and I agreed that the next time we watch that we would mute it and him and I would say all the lines..we know it by heart..its pretty pathetic..

Here is my big 4th grader..she totally rocks..I am so proud of her!
