Unca Paul got a groovy new ride…
Unca Paul is the cool Uncle with his pirate themed tattoos and his awesome skill to hang children upside down – now he has completed the package of “Coolest Unca” with his groovy new ride!
I knew Sam was going to be a boy the moment I realized I was pregnant. It was meant to be – as a young girl dreaming of my future I predicted having a boy, and naming him Sam. It seemed so real when I would talk about it to my friends and then as I grew up and realized I didn’t want children – I wrote Sam off as a silly childhood fantasy. When, surprise, I got pregnant I just knew it was Sam. Then when we planned a second child and I got pregnant – I got the girl vibe. Probably because I wanted a girl this time. Everyone around me got the same vibe but the ultra sound showed a penis – and once again we were expecting a boy. After the shock that I was wrong, and after freaking out about having two boys and thinking the worst about fighting – we were excited! Jack was born and he’s awesome! I still feel the desire to spawn another like me – a girl to share girl stuff with, someone to bond with in a way only two girls can.
My friend, who has a five-year-old son, gave me the great news that they are expecting their second in July! Then I got the message that the baby was a girl – and instant envy set in. A good envy. I got excited because I knew that finally I would be able to go baby girl shopping! I went, I shopped and both my mother and my husband were forced to cut me off… it was sad. My friend also lives nearly 500 miles away from me…again, sad. So, I bought her a few dresses, a few hats, a sleeping gown, a couple blankets and a few little shoes… I was on a girlie high looking at all the cute little girl things – because the cute factor is all in the girl stuff!
I get to see the bundle of pinky joy a couple weeks after her birth (planned c-section) and I just cannot wait! I am thinking that seeing the cute little female will worsen the desire to create – but I am positive that when I have to deal with the two Boyz at Disneyland that desire will be snuffed for a while… possibly forever…. Who knows…
For Mother’s Day, my mama bought me a pair of (expensive) shoes I had been wanting for a while. They are awesome! The first day I wore them, I wanted to send my mother the play-by-play of how they were and what they were doing. I had so much fun recording the events I experienced throughout the day!
May 12, 2008 – A Day in the Life of MY Shoes… *enjoy*
Good morning new shoes!
First things first – tie them up!
Kicking Samma’s tushie to get him moving in the morning!
Driving to work – feeling good in the car.
Hanging out with the students!
(That’s not my McDonald’s – no matter what my students say!)
I was forced to kick my student in the head – that’s what happens when they don’t listen.
It’s tough love…
Ohhhh… They both felt the effects of that kick -
“go go power kick!”
Walking through the halls – I never spend too much time in one place.
Chilling in English class…
Awwwwww lunch!
Relaxation and food are always a great combination!
Back in the hall after lunch – headed to Math class!
My new shoes’ first exposure to grass!
Something we don’t find too much of here.
Getting out of the car to pick up Samma from school!
Driving home – I wish it was to stay…
The shoes look good, but I’m tired!
A comparison of great proportions!
Driving Samma to his doctor appointment.
Potty emergency!
Had to make a pee stop of the side of the road.
Wasn’t fast enough – oops!
A quick change…
At the doctor’s office Jack wanted a photo op with the new shoes!
Samma did too!
After the doctor we hit the drive through car wash.
The shoes enjoyed the little rest.
It never ends as we had to go to the store!
Driving home…
Finally!
Walking into the house after a very long and busy day.
The finale of a day in the life of my shoes – kicking back in the lay-z-boy!
It was a great first-day break in for my new shoes – and they performed awesomely! I was beat after all that, and my feet were not nearly as tired as my head was – yay! Thank you mother for the great new digs my feet get to sport!
*pictures taken with cheesy camera phone*
Watch out! I got new shoes for Mother’s Day and I am going to kick some serious butt with these bad boys! They are super yummy – I did a day long picture diary with my new shoes – so stay tuned for that!
