What a wonderful welcome back I received!! Gosh, I really did miss everyone here. I definitely won't have nearly as much time to write as I used to "back in my Xanga day", but I will try and post a few times a week.

My company was off yesterday - woohoo for me - so I had a lovely 3 day weekend. Of course the weather was stinky and it rained the whole time, but at least I was home with my hubby and kids. Other then it being soggy, I got tons of wash done, lot sof homemade meals cooked and one fattening delicious apple pie. Yummm, can you smell it now?? Smell the cinnamon and apples baking in the oven???? Ahhhhhhhhh, breath of fresh air---and a few pounds too .

Cassidy was, once again, wearing her princess gown yesterday. That girl cracks me up. here she is in this pretty pink princess gown, hiking it up around her waist to pee on the potty - too darn cute

Getting Cassi up in the morning is soooo difficult - she sleeps like her father ---like she is in a coma!! And man, is she CRANNNNNNKY! Sometimes you won't even be able to talk to her for at least 15 minutes after she's woken up. Eeek, this should be fun once the teenage years come. Now brianne?? She wakes up all smiles! As soon as I poke my head in the room she is already smiling and bouncing up and down on the crib mattress. She is just unbelievably happy. Thank goodness those two don't have to share a room. Eeeks, they would be throwing toys at either. Cassi in anger and Brianne just to piss her off

All in all, everything is hunky dorey in our house, just a little bit of craziness that shows how much we love our kids. Toys all over (which get picked up a few times a day but by the end of the day looks like I never clean a thing), dishes in the sink (even though I just ran the dishwasher the night before), clothes to wash (even though I did 2 loads the day before) and the never ending dog hair that seems to spread around the house. That will happen with 2 big labs - one black and one yellow. Thank goodness for the good ole ShopVac.

Ok, that is it for my boring day.

Thank you all again for such a warm welcome back.
