Reagan is a hoot.
Today Ben was talking about different Webkinz creatures and telling me how cute the panda is, apparently Reagan doesn't agree, she put up her hand, pushed Ben out of the way and said " He's lying, Ben, just let me do the talking." SNAP !
A couple of minutes ago Reagan came to me and told me that she is all packed for the trip this weekend " I packed Mommy, I have clean panties, clean socks, 2 pairs of pants, 2 tops, my swimsuit and my PJs."
Holy crap, all of this was done without my prompting, she just knew it needed to be done, if only the other 2 were more like this.

Random thoughts
So my little mind has being whirring today with lots and lots of thoughts, some good, some not so good.
Here goes.
Some people truly SUCK !!, The wench that signed a buyers contract on our house in MN, lied her ass off, long story short, looks like we'll be foreclosing on it..Thanks Bitch. That gets me to wonder how many people truly think of their actions and how they may effect others ?
Reagan needs a bath really badly and I don't want to mess with it *BLUSH* when she gets sweaty her hair gets super curly, people think she looks so cute w/ "All that curly hair". HAH, don't going putting your nose near those curls... PEEW !!
Ben talks non stop about skateboarding and skate boarders,I know just about everything you need to know about what boards are the best, what wheels you HAVE to HAVE, the type of bearings you have to buy to put in those wheels to make the wheels go smooth and fast. Still with me ? I know what trucks you have to attach to the bottom of the board, to attach the wheels to in order to ride fast, w/out trucks, you only have a piece of wood, oh and the grip tape that goes on top of the board has to be the best quality, w/out it your feet will slip and it just doesn't look cool.
Holy shit ! What happened to a piece of wood and a couple of roller skate wheels ?
Oh and Tony Hawk, Mr Skate himself holds the key to Ocean City, pretty cool huh ?
Victoria is a good driver, but she has to remember that when you move into the passing lane, it means you need to pass those in the other lane, why does she feel the need to move over and slow down all the way to 45 when the speed limit is 55 and every other moron on that stretch of road is doing 70 ? She's going to give me a heart attack if she does it again, I swear. Teaching a teen to drive really speeds up the aging process.
Tomorrow is Marc's family reunion, Marc being Marc decided to leave me and the kids w/ people we don't know or haven't seen in 10 years while he plays golf w/ a cousin, I decided to go up later after Reagan has had soccer pics made, that way Marc will be done playing by the time we get there. Tonight he called, it's going to rain tomorrow, golf is cancelled and now he's lonely... Karma, gotta love her.
I need to take pics of some items I've just made for my store, but my lighting sucks right now, maybe I should lay a chocolate bar next to everything, chocolate makes everything better right ?
I need to learn to say "No" A work associate of Marc's is looking after Winchester this weekend, she lives next to people who own a gorgeous German Shepherd, they don't care for her and don't want her, they leave her out in all weather and never pay her any attention. She and Winchester made a love connection through the fence posts, she cried for him when he walked away, AWWW, she loved on Reagan's hand when she pet her through the fence, Victoria just about climbed over there to pet her. She would be a wonderful companion for Winchester, we have a large fenced in yard for them to run, she would sleep inside, not in the rain, she'd be fed so you could no longer see her ribs, she's a love bug and she deserves a good home just not this one, I don't want another dog, we already look after the cat the previous owners of this house left behind, we have a psychotic cat who pisses on and in everything but the freaking litter box. I have a hard enough time looking after a house a yard, 3 kids, 3 cats and a large dog as it is, I don't want another dog to add to the mix, No, No, No.
It's getting late, I still have laundry to do, pics to take, packing to do and seeings as I'm too lazy to bathe Reagan now I'll have to do it first thing in the morning, at least she'll be squeaky clean for pictures though right ?
Special thanks go out to my friend Heather who took Reagan for me today for 4 whole hours, in that time I got my house spotless, I may have been up to my elbows in dust and kept finding traces of cat pee where you would simply never imagine, I filled up a whole vacuum cleaner bag with dust and debris .. ICK !! and I received a blister on my finger from scraping pet hair out of the crevices on the stairs, but my house smells awesome, if you haven't checked out Green Works cleaning products, you really should.
Anyway, Heather will not accept payment of any kind so join me in giving her a standing ovation, she rocks !!

Beginning to feel like a new woman
What an awesome feeling it is to be feeling well again or at least better than I had in several months.
After several trips to the Dr, a lot of blood work and an Echo on my heart it was determined that I have Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrom. You have no idea what a relief it was to finally receive a diagnosis and some meds to help. There are a lot of diet and exercise changes that need to be implemented for me to be symptom free and gradually it is getting easier and easier to do.
I only drink caffeine one time a day, it would be better to be caffeine free but baby steps right ? I no longer eat or drink anything that has been made w/ white sugars,I can't remember the last time I ate a cookie,the times I have really craved something sweet I have reached in and grabbed a plum or some strawberries.
I no longer have wine w/ my dinner, I am completely alcohol free and my diet is pretty much vegetarian. The nice thing is that I don't feel like I am being denied anything and just keep looking at the big picture. My biggest challenge is getting back to exercising, before I was running at least 3 miles a day and at least 10 on Saturdays, then all of this started and I was getting out of breath and experiencing palpitations just walking up the stairs. As I am feeling better and feeling the meds kick in I can feel my energy increasing and finding it easier to take a brisk walk.
As much as I would like to think I'll be able to do another 1/2 marathon this year and receive my Duo medal for participating in 2 Rock N Roll marathons in a year, the reality is it won't be happening, that makes me sad, but I have to think of my health first and realise it's nothing that I did it's just shitty genes. I am however going to work towards completing a couple of 5Ks, there are several going on in the community in the next few months, each raising money for a very good cause, I'm hoping the kids will join me.
So as I said in a post a little while ago, Madonna will be back, she's just under the surface now folks, so be warned ;-)

A sweet little purse
A friend of mine asked me to make her a purse out of some fabric that I had.
I love how it turned out, all the way down to the cute beaded button.

The sweetest 4 y/o ever
Today Ben is going to a big fundraiser for a skatepark to be built here in town. It starts off with a skate competition that Ben is competing in, there will be a demo given by pro skaters and will wrap up tonight w/ a big concert and some pretty big named bands, Ben is psyched !!
A little after he left, Reagan came out to me looking really concerned, I asked her if something was bothering her and she replied "I hope Ben is careful, I don't want him to get hurt." I told her he'd be fine but still she looked worried and told me "What if he doesn't wear his helmet ?" I told her they won't let him skate w/out his safety gear, to which she responded "But they don't make you wear face masks, what if he lands on his face, it'll get all bloody and hurt." I've told her he'll be fine and is a good skater and so won't be face planting, I just hope that now she can relax until he gets home.. she wasn't looking too convinced when she went outside to help Victoria with her yard chores. Why is Reagan helping Victoria with her yard chores ? "Mommy, Victoria was sick yesterday, if she doesn't get them done today Daddy will be mad at her, she needs my help." Awwwww

Spring has finally arrived
And it's glorious.
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens

Another milestone
We've gone from first smiles, first teeth and first steps, today Victoria reached another milestone and acquired her drivers permit, I can't believe my little girl is so grown up and now able to drive, where did those 16 years go ?
She was so excited to get behind the wheel and drive somewhere other than our driveway that I allowed her to drive home from Gymnastics, and I've got to say she did a darn good job.
Sigh.
