All Four Legs

Elliot started a new thing recently. When he drinks his bottle he tries to hold it up with all fours. When his feet slip he puts them back on there.

Another typical day...

Sometimes I think Elliot is too cute.
Wyatt, of course, is cute, too. This morning when Wyatt woke up he was laying on the couch watching TV. Tilly jumped up and layed down with him. I went to yell at her but Wyatt interupts me and says, "Hers okay, mom!"
Wyatt also got a hold of the camera. I'll just let you look at a couple of the pictures he took today.
This one is my favorite. I think he's sending a subliminal message in this one.

Zack Attack!!!

Alright, alright. I get it. I've been tagged. I'd like a game of tag and go get it better, but I'll just settle for this. Hmmm.... eight random things about myself coming right up. Bare with me please.

1. I have a stigmatism.

2. I wake up too early (even when children or a job aren't involved.)

3. I dream of being a Best in Show winner at the Westminter Kennel Club Dog Show.

4. Some say I'm a little naive.

5. I like my shorts to fall right in the middle of my knee. Now finding the perfect shorts for a female 5' 4" 160 lbs. can be challenging. May I recommend "The Buckle"? They have a seamstress that can make this happen for me and you at no extra charge. I know that most people look like models, so when someone like me comes around it's hard to find that non-model perfect fit.

6. I'm poor, but not too poor.

7. I discovered that eating fruit helps my digestive system.

8. I celebrate Christmas commercially and for Jesus.

Bug Light

I was at Jeff's cousin's house for a cook out. It was fun. I was sitting around a table with three other women. The bugs kept biting so asked Melanie (Jeff's cousin) if she had a bug light. She got real excited and said, "Really?" I said, "yeah." She said,"You are so awesome. I'll go get one." I couldn't figure out why that was cool. We then figured it out. She thought I asked if she had a bud light. It was pretty funny, and it made me laugh.

Sensual Dad II

With my photography skills, and Jeff's photoshop skills we came up with this. There is more where this came from on Jeff's blog www.johnqcasual.com/blog

I also think Elliot looks more like me in this picture. Everyone always says that he looks like Jeff, but just wait until those big blue eyes turn into big brown eyes.






And just a little more regular pictures of them to explain why they were both naked. Also, today for the first time unprovoked Wyatt says, "Mommy, I love you." I said,"What did you say?" He said,"I said, I love you, Mommy." It was real sweet after four long years.

R.Kelly and Usher Song

I was at work the other day and when I turned on the radio an R&B station was on. I normally don't listen to R&B, but I heard Fantasia played on R&B stations. I also wanted to hear Ruben singing about 2004, but that didn't happen. Anyway, as I was grooming dogs and I heard this song by R. Kelly and Usher.

Yo Ush
What up Kells
Wanna introduce you to this girl, think I really love this girl
Yeah
Man she so fine
Straight up dawg
She stand about 5’4” coke cola red bone
Damn
She drives a black Durango license plate say “Angel” tattoo on her ankle
Plus she’s making pay so she got a crib on Peace street right on 17th street
And I call her “TT”
Wait a minute hold on dawg do she got a kid?
Yep
Love Some Waffle House?
Yep
Do she got a beauty mark on her left side of her mouth
Man?
Went to Georgia Tech
Yep
Works for TBS
Yep
Man I can’t believe this chick… damn… mm
Tell me whats wrong dawg, what the hell you damning about
Im your homie so just say whats on your mind
Man I didn’t know that you were talking about her
So man your telling me you know her
Do I know her like a pastor know his word

Chorus:
We messing with the same girl same girl
How could the love of my life, and my potential wife be the
Same girl same girl
Man I can’t believe that we’ve been messing with the
Same girl same girl
Thought she someone that I can trust
but she’s been doubling up with us
You can't, man we’ve been messing with the same girl

Verse 2:
See I met her at this party in Atlanta
Well I met her at this party in Chicago
She came right up to me given me conversation
I said do you got a man she said no, with no hesitation
Well it must be a music thing cause she said the same to me
At a party all in my face, when I’m laughin and buyin her drinks

She whispered in my ear and said can you take me home
Me too
Man she was in the Chi singin that same song
Is that true
And I thought it was true confession when she said
I love you
Man I thought her body was calling when she said
I want you
Look I even got some pictures on my phone
Look at there, there she is with some boy shorts on


We messing with the same girl same girl
She’s the apple of my eye, and my potential wife the
Same girl same girl
Man I can’t believe that we’ve been messing around with the same damn girl
Same girl same girl
Thought she someone that I can trust
but she’s been doubling up with both of us
You can't, man we’ve been messing with the same girl

Bridge:
She said she got me on her ringtone
Are you talking about the pink phone
Mm-mm the blue one
Man she told me that was turned off
Its obvious that shes been playing us playing us
Cuz constantly she’s been lyin to us lyin to us
Don’t like the way that she’s been goin bout it goin bout it
Kells what do you think we should do about it do about it
Call her up at her home, she won’t know that Im on the phone
Yeah man that’s a plan
Homie we about to bust this trick
Man just ask her to meet up with you and Im gonna show up too
And then she won't know what to do
We'll be standing there singing


We messing with the same girl same girl
She’s was the apple of my eye, and your potential wife the
Same girl same girl
I can’t believe that we’ve been messing with the same girl
Same girl same girl
Shes gonna looks so stupid when see us together
You can't, man we’ve been messing with the same girl
See she was taken flights going back and forth
I would pick her up at the Airport
Man I really can’t believe the
Same girl same girl
Hey…. The same girl same girl

I fell in love with this song, and I mean that in a facetious way. I wish there were more songs out there like this. I like the part where his first question about her is does she have a kid. When a woman is single with a kid that's usually the first way they describe her or it's how she's labeled. For example,"You know? That girl with the kid". Having a kid becomes her identity. If a woman is married that's not so much her identity. But what I want to know is how does a successful career woman find time to take care of her kid and have two men to fall in love with her. It sounds to me like she's some kind of woman. They should just confront her and ask her to pick just one instead of them both moving on. At least, one of them will get this woman. It's not like she's married to them. Moving right along...And then there's the part where they say they're going to bust his trick, but really the trick is on them. This woman was messing with R. Kelly and Usher at the same time. That's more amazing then an intern messing with the President.

Lightning McMom

I was on the phone with my mom today during a thunderstorm. I could tell by her voice that she was starting to get nervous. She said she had to go kind of frantically. I said, "Mom, the lightning is not going to come through your phone." Keep in mind we are both talking on cell phones. She was like "are you sure" a bunch of times, and I was like "yeah" a bunch of times. Then she was like "I know the lightning isn't going to come through, but it's still making me nervous. I got to go."
