Happy Father’s Day

To all the Dads – I wish you a very happy day today.

To my own Dad – thank you for being supportive of all I did growing up and what I do now, for “guiding” me down the right path in life and for doing it all with humor and love.

To J, the best Daddy in the world (Emma told me that I had to write that!) – I can’t tell you how amazed I am at you and your “Daddy skills” on a daily basis. You are a terrific Dad, anyone who witnesses a moment between you and the girls can clearly see it. Thank you for all you do for us. We love you!

Wicked-ly Good Time

My sister just left this morning. That was the reason for my non-existent blogging this week…we have been having too much fun!

It is also the reason for my boo-hoo blues all day. Man, I really, really miss her already. It is amazing how you can know someone so completely, and still never have enough time to talk and tell each other all the things you need to.  We had a great dinner and went to the theater, just Meesh and I, last night. And I got to share her excitement as she watched Wicked for the first time, which was almost as enjoyable as seeing it for the second time. That is one terrific adventure!

So our revolving door of visitors is temporarily suspended, I am working on two projects due by Friday (yikes!), and trying to pack and do all the trivial little things that need to be done so we can leave for our vacation on Saturday.

Aye….in other words, my blogging drought will probably continue for a few more days. But I promise later tonight/tomorrow I’ll post the adorable video and pics of Em in her dance recital yesterday. She was a prima ballerina as always – and pretty darn good with the tap shoes, too! We were very impressed once again that she really seems to have the poise and determination of a dancer. (She was, of course, the most beautiful dancer as well. This coming from a purely unbiased mommy.)

Laugh of the Day

My mom will probably be mad that I wrote about this, but hey…it is my blog and you have to expect if you are in my family or one of my friends I’m going to write about you at some point. And seriously, this is just priceless. I don’t think I have laughed this hard in a very long time. I know it won’t be nearly as funny written out here as it was when my dad told me about it this morning….but here goes.

Mom’s frantic search for her glasses – as told by Dad, Thursday morning.

My mom comes upstairs as my dad is getting ready for an appointment.

Mom: “Hey, have you seen my glasses? I can’t find them anywhere.” (She does seem to be looking for them a lot!)
Dad: “Nope. Where did you put that green mask (Avon!) on, maybe you took them off there?”
Mom: “Downstairs, but I just looked, they aren’t there. I don’t know where I could have put them.”

(Dad turns around.)

Dad: “Um, you have your glasses on your face.”

(Yes, she has them ON!!)

Ah, yes…that must be where she “left” them. Wow, that last birthday might have hit you a little hard, Mom! I’m thinking that or you might need a little stronger prescription. I’ve been shopping online for a bedazzling eyeglass chain that I can send her to keep them around her neck to avoid a situation like this in the future.

(We love you, Mom! Thanks for the great laugh, I’ve been chuckling all day thinking about it.)
