The Harbin Holla

Okay... so maybe the last post was a little over dramatic. But, it's only because forever isn't long enough to spend with my nuggets and wrinkles and gray hair are just indicators of the inevitable. I seriously start choking up at the thought of my time coming to an end and having to part ways from them. If I could eat them, I would. If I could sew them onto me and form some kind of three-headed-siamese-triplet-thing, I would. (That might be a little embarrassing for them in high school though.)

All 4 of us were completely sick last week and are still trying to finish getting over it. (I have a tissue shoved up my nose as I type this.) Callie isn't bouncing back as quickly as she should be and I'm afraid that I might need to take her to the doctor's office. We're keeping a close eye on her.

Sunday night, I drove to Columbia to see my Zippy play in a volleyball tournament. She did really well and I fully enjoyed watching her kick some ass. She's extremely talented! Then, she and I stayed in Columbia overnight and shopped 'til we dropped all day yesterday. It was nice to get away and be stupid and stuff but I did start missing the kids pretty badly yesterday. When I got home, Monkey hung around my neck for a good while and Callie was so excited to see me that she didn't know what to do with her hyper little self. She was running around every where and showing me things and patting me on the back as she sprinted by, but she wouldn't settle down enough to let me love on her until hours later. Today, we are spending lots time catching up on the hugs and kisses!

P.S. - One of my friends sent me a really helpful link to a website this morning that is great if you are interested in finding out about BPA free bottles, sippy cups, etc... I was able to look up each type of our sippy cups using the search bar on the left to find out whether I needed to pitch it or not. Here is the link: http://safemama.com/
