and one here

Ok well i tried at least but it wouldnt copy the picture which is the most interesting part...

Any way the gist was come see our show. "In on It" . Yes right now...go get a reservation. Come see us. Because we rock and you want to hang out with the cool kids and laugh you butt off. www.thedirigogroup.com for reservations.

Does anyone have some to offer. I am plum out.

We put a bid in on a house and now comes the waiting...I cant seem to sit still or hold a thought...this is by far the most stressful decision we have ever made.

On the up side we are gonna buy a house...Hell ya!...it is awesome too...Promise you will come to visit me (off Slaughter Ln)

AHHHHHHHHHH!

Shelly O Shit has reared her ugly head...SOmething about a trip to LA makes this happen

For those of you not in the know Dustin is in BIG trouble.

Dustin's ex's name is Shelly. When we were first dating I overslept and missed a flight to LA. Dustin woke up realized waht time it was

Dustin "Shelly OH Shit your late!!!"

Me...Mad

For the next few weeks he wore a pin (Parker has since lost) made of rhinestones that said I Love Jazz.

Tonight after getting off the phone with my Aunt discussing our upcoming trip to LA he called me Shelly again.

Punishment is nessisary...more in the vain of embarassment(since the pin is no more)...any ideas???

So last week I got a blithering call about Emme, a bag full of shoes, and lack of sleep(As many of us did). Now that you are mingling with celebs do you call? write? Nothing. I see how it is!

After being put in time out for not listening I went in to talk to Parker about what was going on and he said..."I wanna feel strong Mama"

I'm thankful for:

1) Babies (even if they dont let you sleep).

2) A husband who does.

3) Pee Pee in the Potty-A Mastered Concept(kinda).

How did this get in my house.

It is evil and you cant get a focused image of the pen(much like you cant get a focused picture of a ghost) in a photograph so here is what it says

The Cove
Billy Graham
Training Center

So I forgot. Good thing I planned it for the same time I drop Parker off in the morning. The teacher looked at me and said in a very serious voice so you really for our meeting. That was scary in itself because she is so sweet and never really serious...Oh is that today. Well she thinks Parker is doing great...me too. The last few weeks Ive felt like I am falling in love with him all over again. Last night we laid in bed together, stared at the moon and sang. I'm lovin 3.

The best news was that they want to move him to the older class in January and to Monday-Wednesdays so he will be with his best friend who is also moving up. I think on their part it is about money and the waiting list but he is ready and Im totally willing to take advantage.

THIS SUCKS!

Normally Dustin would ge off some extra time around the holidays...Not this year. Chrismas and Chrismas eve fall on Saturday and Sunday..Same for New Years.

GRRRRRR!

Some Halloween Parkerisms:

Person with candy "What are you"
Parker "I Candy Bear"

Shannon and Izzy "Mommy Mommy a ghost, a ghost!"
Parker, running behind, "Mommy Mommy a goat, a goat"
Me "A goat or a ghost?"
Parker "A Goat"
Me "Is it scary"
Parker "Yes Scary Goat"

He ate 3 tootsie pops and had just about lost his mind. I was getting him ourt of his car seat and i told him to bend his arm and he shot it straight out and it locked. His body continued to do the oppsi te of everything he wanted it to do for about an hour.

We tryed to trick or treat Gunk at the hotel but they wouldnt give us his room number. The woman at the desk called up and told him he had an urgent fax. Dustin, mom and I stood around the corner and Parker stood outside the elevator door. Gunk walked out looked at Parker and said hi kept walking looked at us kept walking then looked at us agian and realized who we were...Good stuff.

Miles is strong as an ox!!!! Last night he took two CONSECUTIVE crawling steps!!! Hes only 4 mo. Parker figured out how to roll and rolled around until about 2 weeks before he walked.

Miles is growing up too fast.

My laundry list of recent events, rants and responses.

I found Beth...Well she found me. Muggs you should blame you addiction to My Space on Dustin and Beth. Dustin has been begging me for months to get a myspace account so that I can chat with him at work...which by the way doesnt work. But anyway I have put up quite a good resisance if I do say so myself but then Sara Elizabeth had to try to find me and Dustin wouldnt let me use his myspace account to talk to her so now i have one. www.myspace.com/spazmolotic if you want to check it out. So now i am obsessed and although I really should be cleaning I am going to spend my afternoon trying to set it up.

Babies stop sleeping when they turn 3 mo. I remember now why I never got anything done when Parker was a baby.

Parker is done with Speech therapy...They said his speech is great better than average pronuncitation and vocabulary but we need to work on his daily living skills. He was bordering on Failing apperantly...Tell me this how can you judge a childs living skills by spending an hour with them...Best I can tell this is all based on the fact that he doesnt dress himself of wash his own face. I'm a bit defensive about this...Speech therapy was one thing but I think Ive got a damn smart kid...who cares if he wants to pull up his pants...they should have a separate Daily Skills test for boys and girls. GRRRRRRR.

I am making Parker a Thomas the Tank Engine Cake for his birthday. Mercedes said this isnt nessassary but she didnt have my mother when she was little. There are 2 things I felt very pressured about doing as well as my mother. Naming my children cool fun names and making kick ass birthday cakes.

Copper likes to dig in her water bowl too. Parker Calls her Fox Puppy.

Parker gave himself a black eye on Sunday. He tried to jump from the Futon into the playpen, missed and hit the corner of the coffee table. Dustin got him calmed down and went to get and ice pack and when he cam back parker was laying perfectly still on his back staring at the ceiling. Dustin called him and he didnt answer so his started poking him in the face and yelling Parker Parker after about 10 seconds aprker looks at him and says Daddy Stop it in a very annoyed voice. I think Dustin almost had a heart attack.

I hope my monkey is as entertaining as you would have hoped.

Oh yeah thats right...My cousin Danny ROCKS! He played with Rilo Kiley on Sunday at ACL and was able to score some comps for Dustin and I. Needless to say I am burnt and put on muchos amounts of sunscreen and Dustin is not and he didn't use a drop. We were able to grab a couple of seats under a mister so it made the 108 weather seem at least bearable. By the way Rilo Kiley was awesome. I know I told so of you I didnt like it when they were in town a few months back...it must have been the sound that night.

For those of you that asked Danny plays the trumpet...just dont ask me his last name.

I have left the house twice this week. Both times with Richard. I think its some sort of pay off like if im less stressed Dustin is less stressed so Richard has to listen to less boring stories about how Im stressed and this is making Dustin stressed. But on the flip side they both quit smoking (YIPEE) on Saturday and Im stuck with them because I HAVE NO KEYS!

I have however restored my house to its natural state of semi disaster from full scale explosion by putting everything I dont need in the car for when I do find the elusive ones.

I had about 10 more things I want to write about but now Im thinking about the keys again so Im gonna go back to looking for a bit.

Parkerism for the day "Oh My Gosh" has now changed to "Oh My Crap"

I have to turn off the tv. It is sucking me in like on 9/11 again. I have packed my car full of stuff for the Salvation Army and as soon as I find those keys Im gonna take it down and find out about volunteering at one of the shelters. Anyone else want to go with?

No really I have. They are gone. My only car key was on there. I will be staying home for the rest of my life as I dont know how to drive Dustins car. I will have to send him to the grocery store. This is a scary thought. Do you ever have one of those days where you kick yourself for being lazy. To make matters worse I have boxes in my living room for the yard sale so god knows whats happened to them.

Its all my moms fault. First she gave me her chalk board which i put up in place of the crappy old dry erase board I have. The problem with this is that it has hooks that i put my keys on so little fingers dont steal them. Now they are gone. Then Tuesday I go to a home show with my mom about magnets (really cool stuff but I felt like i was in the middle of an infomercial) anyway when we get back i think I threw them on the coffee table and now they have walked away. See how by some sort of backward logic this is her fault...ok fine its mine...

Ok last resort...the trash.

Yes. Yes. they do. We were up til 2 putting stuff together and then up at 6:45 to set it all out on the lawn. It was hot and sticky and exahsting and we only made $100.

Im a glutton for punishment though because we are gonna do it agin next Saturday. I figure we've already put everything together so why not. Rain on Friday would be helpful. So if anyone has an in with Mother Nature could you put a nice word in for me!

On the brighter side when I was putting Parker down tonight he said "Goodnight, love you sweetie." Im a puddle.
