This heat that is. It's figgin HOT out. It's kinda putting a damper on my summer too. This kind of heat makes me want to hide. Like in the darkest coolest corner of my house. Even my kids don't want to go outside when it's this hot. It's too hot to even go to the pool.
Thank you stupid hot summer. I am officially sticking my tongue out at you.

I ♥ today's weather!
Isn't it a BEAUTIFUL day?!?! I just LOVE it! I got the boys off to VBS this morning. Jacob has decided he loves it and that I don't need to stay with him. Hallelujah!! After dropping them off I ran some errands. Errands without children is heavenly! I can browse or speed shop. The options are endless! I then headed home, popped Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers into the stereo and started cleaning the garage. Too bad it was morning too. Tom Petty + Garage Cleaning is definitely a time when beer is called for. Oh well....I guess I will save that for later ;) LOL!!
The boys are now outside playing with their sand table. I FINALLY dragged the thing out front and put the sand in it. They are in heaven! Too bad for me they aren't alone. (I'm sure some of you know what I mean). I swear no one else bothers me like these people. Then again...maybe I am just becoming a mean and nasty old lady. HAHAHA!!
It will be absolutely awesome if the weather stays like this through the weekend. It will make for one heck of an enjoyable 4th of July!!

VBS Exhaustion
Today was the first day of vacation bible school at Jacob's (and Johnny's) preschool. The boys have been very excited and have talked about this week endlessly! I volunteered this year so that I could be around if anything happened with Johnny. I think I am still a little nervous after his extreme low at school this year. He TOTALLY doesn't want me there either. Nice huh?!?!
Anyways, Jacob had a total freak out when I took him to his class. Like the crying hysterically, clinging to my leg type of freak out. I was shocked. He LOVES school. How in the heck can he have a freak out over VBS? He cried for a good hour too. After about ten minutes into the class I took him back to Johnny's class.....since I'm supposed to be a helper and all. He finally calmed down. I was unable to get him back to his class for another hour though and I had to stay with him, but he did eventually calm down and had a nice time. I have a feeling I will be staying in his class all week. That is fine with me though. The four year olds are very amusing.....I get a real kick out of them! I am completely exhausted though. John was home early today and I got a heavenly hour long nap. Jacob even came up and snuggled right in next to me and is still sleeping! I sure hope this turns out to be a daily thing!!
Now I think it's time for a much needed glass of wine...or two! I have a feeling it will be needed everyday this week! Why couldn't today have been as easy as going to the pool? I get NO crying or complaining when it's time to go there ;)

T.V. Talk
So I never got around to talking about LOST. Frankly I think I have been trying to put it out of my mind. Yesterday I finally got around to watching the Jimmy Kimmel special that aired after the LOST finale. It's been two months. I thought I could handle it. I knew after tearing up immediately that clearly I was NOT ready. Um yeah.....there's a whole lotta emotion for me and this show. I have issues. Anyways, I have LOVED this show. Like wholeheartedly. Really and truly. What am I going to do next year? I feel as if I have LOST something....HAHAHA! ;) Hey...at least I can joke about it...plus I'm actually not crying why typing this!
I'm not really sure how I feel about how the show ended. I am confused. The ending could have been interpreted in so many ways. I do tend to prefer solid answers. They definitely did not give us that, but then again if you have watched the show since the beginning you know that they rarely give answers.
I fell in love with the characters and their story lines. Pretty much all of the characters too! What am I going to do with out my Jack Shepard (Matthew Fox) fix? Can you picture me pouting over here? How about Jin and Sun in the second to last episode? Jeez...they finally find each other and BAM. OK. Enough about LOST. I'm drained.
How about the Grey's finale?? That was one hell of an AMAZING season finale after such a horrid season! I CANNOT wait for fall! I am really hoping they get Mark and Lexy back together!
Dude...and I lame or what?!?! I swear I read.....a LOT too!

A bit of a rant....
OK. My parents live in Ashburn and my in-laws in Haymarket....so I do quite a bit of driving. Like driving when cruise control is kind of essential for a pleasant ride. Getting to my parents house is very easy. You get on route 7 and keep going. The speed limit is pretty much the same for almost the entire ride. I use my cruise control EVERYTIME I go down there. So WHY IN THE HELL are there SO many damn people who don't. There seems to be an enormous amount of people who must not know how to use their CC, because really if they did I'm sure they would.
I cannot even begin to tell you how utterly annoying it is to have a road full of people who fluctuate in speed so much that it makes my ride COMPLETELY unenjoyable. If you are on route 7 and going 50 one minute, then speed up to 70, then go down to 60, are in the left lane then move to the right, then get back over and get on my ass...GET THE HELL off the road.
THANK YOU!
Oh and ps.....get off your damn cell phones, put your make-up down and get your finger out of your nose. You're going to end up killing someone....and I sure as heck don't want it to be me.

Finally...a new post!!
On June 6th, 2010 we walked in our 1st JDRF Walk For The Cure at the conference center in Lansdowne. My sister in law is friends with someone who works at a printing company and they made some team t-shirts for us. Orange is Johnny's FAVORITE color and he chose the team name John's Orange Crushes! It was one amazing day! It was SO SO touching to have so many people join us for the walk/cause. I tear up just thinking about it. All of these Wonderful people who came out in the extremely HOT HUMID MUGGY weather to support Johnny and our family.....There really are no words to describe it. I knew just looking at my son's face that day how much it meant to him too. It just goes to show you don't have to do anything alone! We will definitely be doing this walk every year and hope to add some others as well!
Our team photo!
This is a team sign that was was made along with the shirts. Everyone signed it too. I know this is something Johnny will have forever!
Jacob had his last day of Preschool on May 27th. His school always does an end of year program. The kids always amaze me at these things. They sang at least ten songs. That's a lot for a bunch of little people to remember and they did fantastic! I haven't made it through one of these programs without crying. Happy tears though!
I think all of those songs tuckered him out though.......this was about five minutes after we got home!!

Johnny turned 7 on June 1st. SEVEN. How in the heck did that happen? I cannot believe he is seven. SEVEN. I can't seem to stop typing it. It kinda doesn't seem real. Little man is a second grader now. CRAZY. I have to say though, I am SO SO glad school is out. I was EXTREMELY tired of doing hours of homework every night. Homework still sucks...even at 32!
Here he is with his brand new ORANGE crocs.....with Harry Potter jibbitz! Yes my child might end up being a total dork. He LOVES Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Plus he loves to read and gets straight A's. I WILL SO TAKE IT! I am beyond proud of him! So you are going to get to hear me talk about him and his accomplishments ALL of the time!!
