dinosaur

this week has been crazy! i mean crazy crazy! lots of decisions were made in a very short amount of time, an open house was held which meant some insane cleaning happened and croup invaded the body of little miss and involved two trips to the doctor. not to mention work has had me in tuscaloosa almost every day this week. roll tide, i guess.

on another note, thank you, thank you for all the sweet words, encouragement and advice. they are cherished. truly cherished.

addison has a tiny crocodile that she got on one of her kids meals while at the beach. she calls it a (whisper here) dinosaur. no lie, that dinosaur haunts her. i guess it is more of a love hate relationship. she loves to find it (the dinosaur moves from place to place - often) but she hates to go near it. the dinosaur has now become a slight parenting tactic - it keeps little miss on her toes. it keeps in her line...sometimes. i think i need a dinosaur. something to keep me in check. keep me focused. keep me on the path. it has only been one week and it has been awful. i have been on a off this diet 7 times already. ha. i am pathetic. like i said, i need a dinosaur.

until i find one - allison, we are so getting together, i will email you. lauren, what day works for you? i would love a scheduled walk with you. mandy, i am all in (i think). seriously though, i want to do it. we will do it. can we go somewhere fun? dad, thank you for the encouragement!
