Yoplait...have no fear.

There will be no business lost to me!  The yogurt...unsuccessful.  Now, there are many points at which this process could have gone horribly wrong, perhaps I didn't scald the milk enough...perhaps I didn't let it cool long enough...perhaps it wasn't a good idea to use expired trix yogurt as "culture".  Perhaps the fact that Mr. Man turned off the oven light before he went to bed...really can't blame him...he didn't know I had an experiement going.  ;)  Anyway...I will NOT be the kind of woman who makes homemade yogurt.  Off to add yogurt to the grocery list!  :)

Becoming Me!

OK.  I have decided.  They can write blogs.  I can write a blog.  Right?  Right.  Julie did it in Julie and Julia.  (No.  Still haven't seen the movie and I am already stealing the idea.)  So.  My idea is.  To blog me becoming me.  You know, all those, "I wanna be the kind of woman who..."s that we torture ourselves with?  Well.  Now.  My mission impossible...I am going to (did you notice how I didn't say "I am going to TRY to"?  Good, eh?)...I AM GOING TO become all those women.  And, if after trying, I decide I don't like that woman, I will unbecome her.  So...today...I will become the kind of woman who...writes a blog!  :)  And...actually...today I became the kind of woman who Makes Homemade Yogurt.  Yes, you heard that correctly.  Today, I attempted to make homemade yogurt.  MANGO flavor at that!  Tomorrow I will know if I will continue to be the kind of woman who makes homemade yogurt.  TeeeHee... 

Tomorrow...I will become the kind of woman who................

WHY is this necessary when we have a house full of food?  HOW can I make him understand that this is not sustainable for us and our budget?

Bella and Her Boyfriend

So, I'm sure I've talked about this enough that you all know that Bella has had the same boyfriend since the beginning of LAST school year...right? His name is Marc, and he's the cutest little thing. (That's Marc on the right.)

So anyway, at P/T conferences, B's teacher was telling me about how he holds her hand when it's time to walk from one activity to the next...he will brush the hair out of her face for her...he pulls her chair out for her when it's time to sit down...like seriously...shit my HUSBAND doesn't do for me!!! So, we were at his bday party this afternoon, and Bella got hurt (bit her tongue) and came into the party room crying. Well, of COURSE...Marc was about 30 seconds behind her, and just stood there watching her to make sure she was okay. he would NOT leave her side until she stopped crying and smiled. It was SOOO sweet. Then his mom gives me a gift bag with a bday gift for Bella in it...we didn't even have a party...but she said they were out shopping and Marc saw it and HAD to get it for Bella for her birthday. It was a Disney Snowglobe with Dopey and another dwarf...OMG...she doesn't ever need to date...she's found Mr. Right...at 6 years old! <3

Bella's Sick

So, a 4am vomit wake-up call isn't one of the best parts of motherhood, but when your 6 year old looks at you and apologizes for puking in your bed, how can you be upset?  Can't.  At least I got to work early...5:30am.  Didn't realize quite how spooky the office is at 5:30am.  I hope I can stay awake until 3:00 to get Bella to the doctor and I hope she doesn't have the Swine Flu.  We'll see.  I'm also interested to see what other ailments we can pick up while there...I should just walk around licking everything... :~/

Can I BLOG everyday?

So, I think this is attempt number 3 or 4 to do a blog about the girls' lives...I've obviously failed miserably everytime...If I can come here and post regualrly for a few weeks...maybe I'll tell someone that this site actually exists... ;) <3
