What am I doing indoors?

Still here! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Believe it or not, we have spent every waking moment outside it seems and I have NO pictures to show for it. After our trip to New Orleans, Mati Claire is still "off schedule". We spent a very long weekend at the lake. Tyanne and I found the courage to go 'tubing'. We forgot how much fun it is...I think the last time we did that was back in high school! But then the boat broke down, James' jet skiis broke down, I think Bill's fishing boat went sour, and our dishwasher broke. Nonetheless, we still had an awesome time and enjoyed some really good food! I drove the boat for the first time...what an experience.

I worked 3 days last week then attended a funeral of a family friend ... ... ... ... ... then had a massive meltdown. I cried for 2 straight days. I was trying to help out because I do have babysitters (they disappear come school year) and I attempt to contribute financially. For me, working is my mothers-day-out. Mothers out there know what I'm talking about.

Now we're getting ready for MC's birthday party! Family will be coming to visit next weekend. I'm hoping Kennedy will teach Mati Claire the potty training basics!
