Happy Birthday To YIN!!

Today my sweet baby is a baby no more. She is 3, and offically a big girl, just ask her.

Yin has really come into her own, these past few months. She is a chatter box, and loves to tell knock-knock jokes with no punchline. She sings songs on the radio and makes up other songs. She can be sweet and cuddly and stubborn and ornery. She is always willing to take kisses, but hands them out sparingly. She loves to dance and check out her hindend while shaking her groove thing.

She is learning to say things correctly... Gone is the day of sticky, she wants candy now. She is also calling Yuri by his corrent name instead of NayNo. That is one of the saddest for me.

Oh, and she is Pottying in the potty #1's and #2's with no accidents. She is wearing a daiper at nap time and bedtime, but that is it. She made a 3 hour trip driving, shopping, and visiting, yesterday with NO accidents. YEAH!! I do love it when she makes a #2, she calls it a "big one" "Mommy, I made a big one." It cracks me up.

She loves to eat, and is a good eater. Her favorites are any kind of dip and brocoli. She can eat almost 1/2 a bag of brocoli by herself, no cheese, just a little butter and she is good to go. She loves ice cream, but not Fig Newtons.

She is all the things that I hoped for an so many that I never dreamed of. She has the best laugh and is one of the greatest joys in my life.

She is so very loved by us.

Slave Driver

That is what I have become. Ask Rudy or Pilot. We have been working on the pond moving rocks, upon rocks, upon rocks. Well, today we found the granddaddy of them all for a special focal point on the pond. IT IS BIG. I whipped my slaves into shape and told them to place it here... No maybe to the left a little... no maybe to right..... No that is not good either.... HHHmmmmmm ..... How about there.... Almost.... Almost.... Perfect!!!!

Well, maybe a little more to the left. Seriously, I love them. I am also glad I was on the other side of the pond so that they could not push me in.

It is really REALLY starting to look GOOD!!! Thanks Pilot for all the help. Rudy you are stuck with me so.... I feel bad for you. :)

Doctor, Doctor, Give me the news,

I've got a bad case of ... Menopuase? At 34, luckly me!! Today was my yearly visit..... Might be TMI so stop reading now.








Okay, I warned you. Lets just say that as someone familiar with all things about the female reporductive system and the fact that mine doesn't work. I understand my body. About a year ago I started having the PMS migraine. Three days of kill me please, followed by my best friends arrival. Then in that last 4 months hot flashes, crazy cycles and YUCK!!! Today he said, " I think that you ovary is starting to not work." Hello, it has never worked. So anyway, after 13 years I am on the pill. He is hoping that it will help with the crazy hormones.

My Rudy is the luckiest man in the world. He gets to deal with me being in a menopuase state for the next 20 years.


Tomorrow, I have to go to the regular doctor about an infected gland in my neck. I am falling apart. Yin says Dr. Steve is the best cause he gives stickers and cookies. Since, I worked with them they always load the kids up with tons of stuff.

I will try to post again when I am not so gripey. :(
