blomit

this is what I've decided to call totally random blogging-it's a hybrid:
blog + vomit=blomit

I'm sure that someone far more witty than myself has already coined the phrase, but as of right now, I'm using it...it works for me...

we've spent the night debating on whether we really really need a day at Disney OR if we are ready to graduate up into the world of Universal.
It's a Ben-thing actually-Mr. Ben has bever been to Disney old enough to know that he was at Disney.

any thoughts?

I just can't wait to take them-I feel like a little girl in a shoe shop-so much to choose from! This should be excellent!!

I know I owe snaps of the kittens; we had a huge YIKES food scare with Foxy Momma on Thursday convincing me that organic food IS the only way to go-we had her on Nutro and she started crashing that morning.

VERY SCARY and not nice...thankfully, she's okay. We got her to the vet in the nick of time. SO that said, snaps will be up by tomorrow!

hugs and love!

Skincare says it all-totally random blog from essie

The simple fact that I can still break out like a champ when facing uphill stress is plainly unfair-but-life happens and fortunately there is Sephora and Bliss to make my days a teeny bit easier!

Just for fun, I thought I'd post the wrap around from my skincare. Believe me it's worth it!

"Party Planned for 150. Only 20 RSVPS."
"How deeper are these frown lines going to get?...Three way conference call with new boss while driving home."
"Hello Officer. I'm sure my license and registration are around here somewhere."
"I think I'm getting a rash...Trying to finish the annual sales report at midnight when the last toner cartridge gives out."
"My skin looks as worn out as I feel...
WHEN DID LIFE START SHOWING UP ON MY FACE?!"

Question: am I REALLY going to be 39 in a month?
Anaswer: why yes I am-holy crap!

Not quite a weekly top ten

But I'm trying! How about a top 5+

1. Made Team Leader tell the kids and parents about our move...very tough family meeting.

2. Decided that Europe is definately better for the kids than the 'Ville!

3. Ended up in TJMaxx and bought a fabulous skirt for Spring-tomato red crinkle crinkle crinkle!! Nothing like retail therapy to make a girl feel better about a 3000 mile move

4. Bought fab. fab, fab wine for the candle party: go Pink Truck and Mommy's Time Out!!

5. Didn't celebrate St. Patrick's Day with this class-ended up in a sad IEP meeting for a really messed up kid instead...boo hiss

6. played with the kittens and Foxy Momma-always a gracious working Mommy, with 5 wild and rowdy feline Harrisons! :)

7. Planted a Japanese Cherry Tree in the front yard with Mom, prompting this conversation:

e: "Why do we always plant a tree in a yard that we are leaving?"
Mom: "Because it's our way of giving back to a neighborhood for all time."
(I think she is amazing and I love her very much.)

Okay, so I made it to 5+, fingers crossed next week will be significantly better.
Happy St. Patrick's Day all-

Question...

How do I tell our children and my parents that we have just received orders for Germany?

And, we leave the US on August 20th...
