I was at Georgia's house today, and she was telling me about this hot doctor she saw that morning (both of our kids have been sick; puking and diarrea. She's taken her son to the hospital THREE TIMES! Each time they sent her home).

Georgia: "He was really hot. He looked like that guy on Super Nanny the other night."

Me: "So he was Italian?"

Georgia: "No, oriental, I think."

Me: "You mean Asian?"

Georgia: "Yeah, whatever. He didn't look American."

Me: stunned silence

How has it been almost a month? Man, that time flew by. Since the weather has been so nice, I don't like to stay home and get on the computer. I'd rather take Chickadee outside, or to the park, or to a friend's house. My in-laws were also here for almost 2 weeks, and the computer is in their room, so I didn't get on much then either. I really feel like I'm missing out on so much though and all my blogger friends. They probably all feel like I don't like their blogs anymore because I don't comment very much, but I do go and read all the posts, even if it's been a few days.

Sidenote-I just heard Chickadee asking for another slice of "chee!" and before I could get to the kitchen I heard the sound of the sharp knife scraping along the cutting board. I left the knife close enough to the edge that she could reach it! I ran as fast as I could yelling "no," but it excited her so much she started to wildly wave the knife around and then throw it. Yikes.

Things have not been going so well with hubby. Surprise surprise. I can say that Mother's Day was the worst fucking day. Ever. I don't really feel like writing it all right now, but eventually I will. Maybe. We did go to our first session of couple's therapy yesterday, and I really hope that helps. Hubby admitted readily that he has not been acting responsibly, I hope he remembers that and acts like he should. The thing about mother's day though is that everyone asks me how it was. It sucks to begin with because my mom has only been gone for 2.5 years, so that's still fresh, then to have to lie about how my own day was due to hubby...it all just sucked.

I've been hanging out with Georgia a lot lately and we've become really close. It's a little odd since we are completely opposite, we have completely different tastes in clothes, decoration, views on politics, child rearing, etc. We just click though, and I think she's at a pretty needy stage in her life, being away from all of her family and having a husband in Iraq. She's a good friend to me, feeds me all the time, gives me things randomly, calls everyday. It's nice to have someone like that around.

I've been tagged by Erin, and I love doing things like this, so here goes

What were you doing 10 years ago?

2). Fresh green beans with hummus.
3). Mini-twix
4). Cookies (I try not to keep any in the house for that reason)

1). Fergalicious-Fergie
2). Hide and Seek-Imogen Heap

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:

2). Invest invest invest.
3). Buy a 4 door car.
4). Hire personal trainer/housekeeper
5). Get rid of our crappy old furniture and buy some decent stuff.

Five bad habits:
1). Picking my eyebrows/lashes. Although it's getting better with my new meds.
2). Throwing things when I'm angry. I'm also working on that.
3). Worrying about my weight so much.
4). Spending too much money.
5). Waiting until ALL the clothes in the house are dirty and then doing tons of laundry all at once.

4). car? We can't afford many toys...
5). Hubby
