I have a dream..

that one day my children will not be judged by the .. wait wait wait..  I AM JUST ASKING FOR HER TO WALK HERE PEOPLE !! I had a dream that Olive took her first steps .. and than started running down a hill.. and I kept yelling.. watch her head.. watch her head.. and she had the cutest little nautical outfit on.. little blue 1950’s sailor shorts.. a cute striped shirt and her little red hat.. with her “magic shoes”.. alas.. here she is.. crawling..  she has 10 days.. my expectations are low.. she is 16 months and 4 days.. and for every mother out there that says I should cherish her crawling.. you werent there at Nordstroms shoe department when she had a stroller fit and was crawling all over the feces, yeast infection carpet!! (thank you for that episode Oprah).. 

  Unfortunately.. I also think that my wedding plate is to full to be mixed with an Easter plate.. the easter bunny will come.. and we will paint eggs.. and stain shirts.. and eat chocolate rabbit heads.. but no turkey..  I almost bought one at the grocery store last night.. but stopped.. well.. at least we saved one bird this year! and at least I found the cutest pair of easter bunny ear barettes for Olive!

    and because The View is on re-run madnes right now.. I am watching cartoons and trying to entertain Olive while she plays with a pen on the table..  I woke up today and B-LINED it to the gym.. we are talking puffy face.. no teeth brushing.. I think some make up was wiped from under my eyes.. not quite sure..  (FYI the gym is half a block from my house) I woke up early on my own (8:15) and knew I had a window before the daddy and the baby were awake for the day.. I forgot keys, cell phone, jacket and a gym tag..  only to get rained on in that 2 minutes I was outside.. the man at the front counter thought he was being funny by saying I couldnt work out without my tag. I apparantly do not register sarcasm before 9am.. and thought he was serious..  I looked like a lost kitten with a puffy 12 year old girl face.. and than he goes.. just kidding.. you can work out..I just kind of stared at him wondering what he was saying.. and  it was hard to make eye contact knowing that I looked like an ugly girl just hit by a bus

 but you have to look like that..

if you want to look like this..

ahhh.. one  can dream! It is time to cuddle with my baby.. and get some stuff done!

          Happy April 1st everyone!! I can feel this month is going to be good!!
