Happy Birthday Max!

Today my little Max turns 6! Hooray! I feel bad because we are not doing a party, nor does he have presents today. We gave him his present early because he had his tonsils out, so his present came in handy (nintendo DSI). I am still getting use to getting back to norm.

Anyhoot yesterday what a day. It was a wonderful day to get in the pool so the kids and I got in, well apparently my dogs thought it was a good day to get out of the fence. While I was in the pool I see my dogs in the field behind my house, I tell my oldest to go get them, however he has a snorkel and flippers on, so not much help in the running down the yard area. I get out of the pool, get the little ones out as well since I wasnt in the pool and I take off to get the dogs, well first off I am in a bathing suit and sopping wet. Bailey my golden came right back in the fence, however the collie, Midnight not so much. (Background on Midnight, she was my hubbys dog prior to us being together and she hates me, she doesnt listen to anything I say so I knew I was in for it). So I am calmly trying to call her back and walk slowly to her, but she kept running further away, I am now at this point 2 houses away from mine - again in a swim suit looking like a beached whale. She begins to run. Fast. So I take off after her and she goes under someones shed. Im crying at this point, about to give up. Well I climb on the ground, half under the shed trying to get my dog out, Im sure the neighbors were wondering why there was a half naked woman under their shed. Well I get a hold of her collar and get her out. I begin to cross the yard with her, I am covered in dirt, and grass and realize my boob is hanging out, not only am I a beached whale but I am now a beached dirty stripping whale. Oh boy, the tears flow even more. I got the animal back into the house and needless to say I needed a very large alcoholic beverage. I call my husband crying and flipping out, not only about the dogs but the fact that I am streaking around the neighborhood. Thinking about it now its freaking hysterical but at the time It wasnt so great. Oh well.

Im back!

Hey guys! I am back again, yup I know bad me... I have been so consumed by the benefit that I was putting together, that I lost touch. But the benefit is now over and I am just getting back to reality. My kids have been back and forth from VA the last couple weeks just for preparation for the benefit. Max got his tonsils out on the 2nd. That was not fun. The breath that comes along with that WOW. We had to go back to the ER because he became dehydrated but he is ALMOST back to the same Max. Apparently my kids have slept in every morning but since they have been home I have been bright eyes at 5 am cause they want to play... Not so happy....
Back to the benefit - we made over $9000 for the kids... Outstanding! The last thing I need to do is just write a list of those I know who donated so I can get some thank yous out. The only problem is I dont know who half the people are. We had a bunch of stuff just dropped off, and I feel horrible because I cannot personally thank them all. At any rate, Tina is back, yay! And just so your not confused that adorable little man at the top of the page, his name is Drew, he was one of the little kids the benefit was for...
