Combatting a 3-year-old's tantrum/meltdown with a super tickle attack and winning = priceless

My mind is floating in a pool in Palm Springs w/ a cold adult beverage on the side, in 95 degree sunny weather or at night in the hot tub...

For the first time ever, Hazel got herself up, got dressed, opened her door, and knocked on our door instead of calling for me from her bed.

We have transitioned to nights w/ no pull-up, just panties. I think we might be all done w/ diapers completely! Wet pull-ups are a rarity :)

Hazel's 3 year check-up went well. She is 3'2" tall, 32 lbs. She didn't know her last name but does now & her fave fruit was fruit snacks :(

SO looking forward to working with 2 new hires in our department mid-next month. Especially the return of Darlene! YAY!!!

I love an evening rooibos or black tea with milk. Warm, comforting, satisfying, yummy. Ahhhhhhhhhh...

The last of my Toddy iced coffee tastes REALLY good this morning. Should I make more for next weekend or is it going to be cold again? Hmmmm

Hazel woke up in tears this morning at 6:30 sad that all of our "visitors" were gone this morning. So sweet! I guess we need more visitors!

I am completely mired by indecision! Feeling tired and lazy but guilty for not getting out to enjoy this beautiful weather. What to do?!?!?

Is the week over yet?

Mmmmm... there is nothing like a really good pear! :)

Man this storm is LOUD and bright!

I have some awesome Facebook friends! Thanks for getting us to 1,000 http://ping.fm/plElN WHOO HOO!!!

I feel lost without my work computer. How did we use to work without them? I can't remember... I think I'll __ (nope), how about __ (nope)

A storm is a comin'

Is it nap time yet?

I couldn't love my little girl any more! She is the reason for bringing my best everyday! Love you Hazel-more than words could ever express.

Why am I so freaking exhausted? I'm tired of being tired :(

A quote from my sister: My spirit guides are sending in reinforcements! I love that!!! :)
