To my Bff on her 30th

Amy- 13 years is how long we have known each other I have never passed out,peed my pants, and thrown up more then with anyone but you..in light of this special day lets recap on some of our adventures together. You slapping my face when i broke my arm on the mountain, You singing prince in the mall with the indian people,the christmas i got a video camera and taped everything, driving to horse shows at 3am..or having to walk up the road to get your horses that escaped in the middle of the night, Taking Marianna to the treasure chest for an american experience, the night i played 20 questions with dylan, crying my eyes out at your wedding, going to the diary corner every other night when you were pregnant with warren,being my dula when i was in labor, play dates, hours and hours of phone conversations break ups and make ups you have always been there for me and are truly a great friend, I hope that you have had a great birthday with many more to come I can't wait to see what our adventures will be next.

Love ya

Bonus!! Sick Day

Today was my first day home with a sick toddler. For the most part my child has been pretty healthy not really a big puker in that area i have been grateful. Today however I was not so lucky, ever seen a toddler with a stomach flu? it was like the exorcist in my living room. I was so in shocked with the distance she was getting with last nights dinner there was nothing to i could do to prevent it from happening. Then I went into panic mode..what the do i do...clear liquids? toast? do to starve or feed the flu? I went with starving the flu and after a four hour nap it seems to be working. So liv is at the age where she asks me for stuff juice is usually on the top of the list. Everyone tells me its best to water down the juice.. However if she sees me pouring water into the juice she will not drink it. so i find myself racing to get the water in before she sees me its such an adrenaline rush i hear her little feet running round the conner right as I'm slamming the water jug down, as long as she sees the juice go in we are golden.  I got this whole mom thing on lock down.
