Enough is Enough: Payton Ruth Anne Richardson Was Only 12-Year-Old : What's really heartbreaking is that, during a time when there is such a strong, positive movement going on worldwide, we're still having you...

I must remember not to be overly upset with my children all the time. I need to pick and choose my battles. The reason for this... Some day they will have to pick and choose my nursing home!!! It really is common sense if you think about it!

by Alex Reifert on Sunday, February 5, 2012 at 11:36pm there are some things you need to keep in mind when reading this recap: 1) this is the first super bowl that i have ever really paid attention to... 2) actually, it's the first football game that i have watched from beginning to end... 3) i brought a book to the super bowl party just in case i got bored watching the game like i usually do 4) i DID NOT watch the same super bowl game that everyone else in the world watched, 5) my mom's friends are just awesome!!! 6) there were jello shots, lots of beer, and a little bit of wine... 7) carly is female, doesn't know football that well, but is still trying to learn the game... 8) carly is EXTREMELY gullible... so... -what is the super bowl number? we respond "XLVI"... carly says "ok, but what number?"... "...46 carly..." -which team are you rooting for? carly shouts that she's rooting for the one on the screen... -the commentators are talki...

Still don't get it! So far the men at the Super Bowl said to me the following .. Mike - just look for the stars on the field (needless to say, stars appeared later when Madonna came out) Steve - there is this app that lets you draw the line on the field from your phone.

Me- how much do you live mommy? Gaby- ummm ummm a lot of weeks! Seems legit!

I do believe that the best feeling in the world is when your toddler is in that half asleep / half awake mode and they say "can you lay down with me?" Now, it doesn't help when your toddler hasn't brushed his teeth. I'll pass out now.

Short post... Modern Warfare 3 ... I hate you. I hate the how the friendly controller turns into my worst enemy. I hate that I get shot by everyone. I hate that I can't figure out look left and turn left. Just sayin ...

Sweet Jesus ... what was I thinking? Today I finally got the courage to do this whole "Bikini Wax" thing. I was really really hoping this thing was a fad and it was going to go away, but it didn't. :( After my relaxing message I walked next door (with my husband in tow) and I grew some balls and asked the lady how much the bikini wax was. She could probably tell by my face that I had never done this before. She smiled and pointed at the BIG price board behind her. Oops... fail #1. Holy Hell, $45 to rip hair off of someone’s body? Really? UGH ... After talking myself in and out of doing the wax, I decided that since I was here I might as well just do it. I mean, my motto in life is to try everything once, and the fun things twice. This wasn't quite what I had in mind. The moment that I said that I wanted to do this, a tiny girl comes up to me and starts talking to me about her prices and what she does and does not do. ... I'm confused. All I wanted was a bi...

This will probably be one of my most favorite photos of all time of D... We were dog sitting for our family friends (The Coburns). They moved to Hawaii and their American Bulldog Patchtes had to stay behind for 3 months. Not even kidding, Yaisa Coubrn came TO ALMOST THE DAY in 3 months to get her baby. We grew to love patches!!! Waaaa .....

D watching the Eagles lose their last chance to go to The Super Bowl!

For Christmas my sons father gave me a pretty sick set of speakers for my 2001 Expedition. The funniest part is that as a 33 year old woman ... it is rather funny to watch me kick the bass up while I'm driving and then when I get to a stoplight, I'll turn it down as much as I feel necessary as to not disturb any other drivers. I wish that the other YOUNGER drivers were just as considerate. I'll have to post a picture eventually. hahaha ... it is pretty sweet to bass out to some dubstep. :)

The morning of 1/23 I was extremely grouchy ... then with one phone call my entire day changed and my heart fell into my stomach. Grouchy Carly was gone in .5 seconds around noon today. Got one of the worst phone calls. Gaby passed out today at Pre-school during story time. Thank God that he was sitting down when it happened and he did not hit his head. He was unconscious for nearly 5 minutes. We immediately took him to the Pediatrician an they suspect that he had a seizure. Gabriel is doing just fine now, but we have to take him in for an EEG in a few weeks to learn more. The scary part is that the doctor suspects that he has been experiencing this for a while now and may not have though to say anything because he may think it is normal. The test was today (on 2/2, and yes I know I'm behind on the writing) and he did well so now it is a matter of waiting or the results.
