Vegas Baby!

I got to visit Vegas for the first time this past weekend. It was too much fun! My sister and I went to see the sights, hit the slots and tables and shop till we dropped. We dropped a lot. I saw the Elvis Cirque du Soleil show and it was just incredible. My jaw hurt from smiling from ear to ear the whole time. Let's just say I will go back...sooner than later.

Jude's Singing Debut

I love his modesty at the end. What a sweetheart!!

Spring into Easter!

Jude and I have had the day off together since it's Good Friday. We met friends for breakfast, then to the store and then to an indoor playnasium since it's rainy and gross here today. While at the playnasium, there was an Easter Bunny and they had an Easter Egg Hunt. Jude was all about it. But it got me to thinking...

Should I bring more religion into his life? He likes going to church with his cousins, but when I ask him if he wants me to take him, he says no. I don't really want to push it on him and I think when he's ready or willing, he'll ask. I secretly like being able to sleep in (until 7) on Sunday mornings and not have to spend half the day in church or even pantyhose and a slip for that matter. And honestly, I'm not even sure what I believe anymore. Being raised the way I was didn't exactly help with having much confidences in organized religions.

So on this Easter weekend, do I seek out a church where my pseudo beliefs can blend with his desire to sing songs and eat snacks with other 4 yr. olds and still gorge myself on Robin's Egg candies?

Team Dragons

The 1st game of the season was yesterday. Officially, no score was kept, but if I kept track correctly, the Dragons won 7-2. WOOT! Jude scored a goal...for the OTHER team. haha!! He informed me it was because the blue team didn't have any points yet and he wanted to help them out. How do you correct that line of thinking? My kid...the avenger of the underdog. I'm going to try to upload some pics from the game as well. Hopefully, it will work this time.







Needless to say, I am very proud of my little guy and am so thrilled he has taken to this sport. GOOOOOOO TEAM DRAGONS!!!

Don't gargle your bathwater

Oh yes, it was said tonight. He actually gargled with it. WTH?

I'm officially a soccer mom

Yep! The Mini-Me is all signed up, the parent/coach meeting was this past Tuesday and I handled coordinating the snack list and the Team Roster with contact information. Practice starts next week. Let's hope my kid actually gets into it rather than picking his nose.

Nights alone

It took a while to get used to it, but now, I like it. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I can drink wine without feeling guilty for being a little tipsy. And I can watch trash TV and revel in it. I don't have to answer a million questions, that I basically just bullshit my way through anyway. Long leisurely soaks in the tub go uninterrupted from, "I have to potty and I want to use yours!!" Yes, nights alone are worth it.
