Brought to you by the letter C

C is for Clumsy, that's good enough for me :)...My weekend was definitely peaceful. On Friday night, I was getting things together so DH and Mika can take a trip to Ohio for the weekend. I wanted to make sure everything was taken care of so I can have a peaceful weekend. After I loaded the laundry into the basket, I went into the living room. In order to go into the living room, I had to step over the baby gate. Well, I tried...My foot got caught, the laundry basket fell out of my hands, and so did I. I totally snapped the baby gate in half and bruised my ass...So NOT PLEASANT! I also managed to leave a dent in the wall. Now, that I can't explain...On Saturday, my DH and beautiful Mika left for the weekend. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I was able to unpack the rest of the boxes in the living room and a few from Mika's room. Now, if only I can continue to do this and not hurt myself. Mika had a blast over the weekend with the grandparents. Now, she has a cold er the beginning of one...back to being mommy again...Mommy to the rescue!!!!

Are you kidding me?

I went to Walmart last night to pick up a few items. As I am strolling down the baby aisle, I noticed Enfamil was low. Actually, they were completely out. I thought was strange, but didn't think too much. Then, I noticed a sign that says "if you do not see your formula on the shelf, please see the fitting room associate." I walked over there and asked for the formula. I asked them why they were keeping it locked up. One associate said they keep it locked up due to thefts...Ok, that makes sense...After I was done shopping, I went to check out. The check out associate and I were chatting and she said that baby formula is now used in Meth and Cocaine...Are you F'n kidding me? I understand the economy is in crisis, but come on...baby formula, seriously? This statement is for all the drug users...GET A LIFE!!!!!

Bummed about America Idol

I am a huge fan of American Idol. I have been watching it since day one. I guess it reminds me of Star Search :). Last night, Scott Macintyre was voted off. Simon decided to make the decision of not saving him. I was hoping that Scott would pull through and make the top 5. He is such an inspiration and I hope this is not the last time we see him. Hopefully, he will continue to write music...follow your dreams!

Fort Wayne Botanical Garden

I went to the botanical garden over the weekend with my lovely SIL...We had a blast while she was here. I wish our house was more complete when she stayed here, but I am glad she still came. Back to my adventure...it was so pretty there...definitely worth the $5 :)...The best part is that I actually took some pictures. Surprisingly, I did an awesome job. Let me know what you think or that I need to quit my day job :)...j/k enjoy the view...

Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny arrived early at our house last night...literally...We were sitting down for dinner and Mika was signing "bunny" and making barking noises...We thought she saw the neighbors dog, but she was right...The Easter Bunny came to our house last night.





I think he's been hiding out underneath our deck...

This mama bird has her handsful. She hatched 3 baby bald eagles. Unfortunately there is no sound or at least on my computer. I enjoy watching this every spring. It's amazing to watch. You can find other cams, but this website has an awesome view...I like to check on mama and her babies...in a few months, they will be ready to fly...which is such a neat treat to watch...Enjoy the view!!!!!!!!
