Aidan finally pulled his first tooth, well mom & dad yanked it with floss 'cause it had been loose forever! He was so proud! But he did not trust his Daddy--he kept saying "no, mom do it"! Secretly loved that :-) He said EVERYONE had lost a tooth in his class but him....well he finally caught up!
Oh! I am so excited. I gave Jeremy his birthday present early---tickets to Cruefest in August in Colorado Springs! He is so freakin' excited, he was just blown away. I have been in cahoots with my friend, Laurie, who lives there since February planning this. He said it is the best bday gift he's ever had. awww, shucks!
Anyway, we have to fib to Alek & keep it a total secret. He is such a Nikki Sixx & Crue fan he would be heartbroken to know we were going w/out him. Of course, he doen't think he is too young for anything, much less a Motley Crue concert. So we are just telling the kids we are going for a quick visit. I know, that's life. but I can't bear to see the look of hurt & betrayal ('cause he WILL ABSOLUTELY take it that way) on his sweet little face. Soooo, if anyone ever reads this anymore....don't tell!!
Wow, it has been a while---again! I have started a new business & I am loving it. It has just kept me really busy the past two months. I am a mobile spa consultant, which basically means I do at home spa parties for stressed out, busy women. Which qualifies 99.9% of us, right? hee hee.
I have been using the pharmaceutical grade skin care since November and have seen great results. The spa products are high-end day spa quality, too. I am just blown away by this stuff. It does what it says it does, no messing around! That is the big reason I decided to do it, I know it works, and I totally believe in it. Second, Jeremy has worked so hard for me to be able to stay at home, it is nice to provide any kind of second income. AND, I set my own hours, no daycare for my kiddos!
Boys have been enjoying summer. Swimming at town club & Nanny & GrandDad's. Aidan just finished up softball season today. They are taking a power trampoline & tumbling class at AC and they are loving it. Of course our trampoline ripped right on cue---day of their first class....aarrgghh.
having trouble sleeping....which is why I am catching up at 2 am! Jaw pain, worries, I just have my days & nights mixed up already. I can't stand sleeping in so late in summer, but I stay exhausted during the day, then i am wide awake at night?? What the heck??
To get this story, if you haven't heard it already, you MAY NOT look at pictures at bottom until you have finished reading. Here goes:
Mom & I are leaving Town Club after yoga class. I say "oohh mom, check out that corvette next to my van, it's brand new". So we go over to just check it out, I thought. Then my mom starts putting her hands ON THE WINDOWS to peek in. So I figure the alarm is about to go off. Then she says, "I wonder if it's unlocked". She goes for the door handle as I start panicking telling her to stop it! The alarm is gonna go off! But no, she opens the door. By this point I figure someone's keychain is going off inside and some bodybuilder is gonna come running at us! Then she says"come smell the new car smell" as she proceeds to sit IN A STRANGERS NEW CORVETTE. At this point I am pacing in the parking lot telling my mom to get out of that persons car NOW! But she doesn't stop there. Apparently, the new cars have a push button start so she decides to see if it will start. It does. I am just about on the pavement unconscious. My chicken, shyest person I know, mother is going to get us arrested! I say very sternly: Get out of that car--I am leaving! She says"okay, okay" turns it off, shuts the door. In the back of my pea-sized brain I am still expecting a swarm of cops at any moment. As I start to stomp off to my car she pulls something out of her purse and shakes something at me:.jpg)
Smiling like the evil woman she is, says, "IT'S MINE!" while shaking her keys at me. Yes, my mom totally punked me :) Then i got to drive it--So I forgave her. I only got it to 95mph because I was in town. Peeled out around one corner, she wasn't too happy about that! Can't wait to drive it outside of town on a highway! It is a gorgeous, beautiful car and her and my Dad totally derserve it!.jpg)

Alek & Aidan were thrilled! Jeremy's Dad bought a white one about 3 years ago, so they just have the coolest Grandparents ever, huh?
No we are not planning on moving anytime soon, contrary to what Amy will tell you :) We would like to eventually find a home in Belmar, if not there then in a newer neighborhood and keep our home in Paramount as a rent house. So, we are casually browsing when the fancy strikes us! It may just be a pipe dream, but I love to look at houses anyway. BTW, have I already missed the parade of homes this year?
The houses on Jameson that were way nice.....not so much!!! Trick photography is the only explanation :-)
I did zumba class this morning. It was a blast. My left back is hurting soooo bad but it was soooo worth it! I just can't imagine how jaw issues can cause this much radiated pain. But I joined a facebook page for TMJ sufferers. A lot of people describe the same pain I have. Well, going to go put my feet up for 45 min before Aidan gets out. Maybe that will help my neck & back ease up. Then I am going to look at 2 houses on Jameson--they are way nice.
