When your children are quiet for more than five minutes.

Ever tried to clean up styrafoam after it's been turned into static cling confetti?

I think this is the official day that I'm going to become an alcoholic.

Wow Maile,

I haven't been here for a while...I missed the music. We've recently moved to BC and finally have a sec to myself to hang out at some blogs. You're so freakin talented, I'm having a great time catching up on new stuff. Thanks!

I laughed out loud! The "official day!"

On a more practical note. I've been looking for a mirror exactly like the one in the photo. Where, pray tell, would I shop?

xo.

Oh, and p.s.- Never mind carpooling to AA. Carpool to Eugene and I'll put you and all your friends up for a vacation where we'll lift our glasses to styrafoam snow and the little ones who make it possible!

Ha! You make me laugh . . . Yes, quiet = scary. My cat likes to eat styrafoam and then puke it up. You can imagine what a treat that is. I filed a restraining order against styrafoam and packing peanuts a long time ago:)

That is actually a really beautiful photo. Even though it was pain to clean up at least the little rascal provided you with a beautiful photograph. Ha. Can you tell I don't have kids?

Happy 1 year Ann! I am addicted and look everyday and it feels like you aren't as far as you really are :(.
Kudos to you. You rock. Wishes to many more years of talented success

Love you

That is so funny!! You always have to check if there is no noise anywhere in your house, and the kids are awake. :)

Not to give you something to worry about in the future, but a friend of mine with FOUR kids had this happen a year ago. She is still finding that crap in the strangest places! Eeeek!
