Time flies...

And with my camera on the fritz, I'm not taking as many pictures to mark each day as special... of course, yes, I have stolen Tiara's a few times and have a couple pix, but not many. It's sad.

This last week was filled with catch up time, cleaning, visiting with friends, swim lessons 4 mornings for Arianna and Luci, two BBQ with friends this weekend, and a bout of sun and warmer weather reminiscent of our first summer here when I whined incessantly of living in a over sized brick oven. Might be dusting off our portable air conditioning unit tomorrow before tempers fly.

Though my little darlings do something silly every day to make me laugh or hide in embarrassment, the one quote that I can still remember is from Elise who (forgive the potty quote), called me excitedly from the bathroom, "Mommy, I pooped the Eiffel Tower!!!" That's certainly not one you hear every day, is it?

The other event... a sprained arm a la Arianna... result of too much play and an unforeseen fall at a party. And an MD appt for me... found out that my two (minor) medical issues both cause irregular/poor sleep. That coupled with my two youngest who still want to wake me every night make a full night of sleep not only impossible, but not at all restful. So, I'm taking sleeping pills and feeling very Hollywood. Sleeping pills are those strange things you see in the movies... not things for normal people. But here I am... thinking I'm normal... and feeling woozy. But, I wake up feeling actually rested. Wow. Who'd a thunk?

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
