One of the shirts had&amp;nbsp; corner lift up, so I used it to test my new "gag" photo I made to go on a shirt. I don't love the green so much, but the saying still makes me laugh! &lt;IMG height=15 src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/laughing.gif" width=15&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(its not a great picture *my four year old took it for me*...hope you can read it?)&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;1.) Teething her two yr. molars.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2.) Getting a cold.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3.) Having a growth spurt.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4.) Flexing her new found will with me.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;5.) Driving me crazy.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;She has been having nightmares while she is sleeping at night&amp;nbsp;and its been taking me HOURS to get her settled for bed.&amp;nbsp; I have been&amp;nbsp;letting her miss her afternoon naps this past week to see if that would get her tired enough to rest better.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Well...as you can see in&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;picture below, this&amp;nbsp;is what happens to a 2 year old when you do not steer them toward a regular nap. She crashes just about anywhere she can find! At least she drug her pillow with her when she finally found a spot to sleep!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Ahhhh this girl of mine!&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; Sorry for the vent, but this age is &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;EM&gt;soooooo&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; trying!!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;*sigh*&lt;/EM&gt; Its ME that really needs the nap today!! Maybe someone will take a picture of me crashed on my computer desk. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope I&amp;nbsp;at least remember to&amp;nbsp;bring my pillow along. &lt;IMG height=15 src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/winky.gif" width=15&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v119/maser0601/Xanga/DSC04687-1.jpg"&gt;</description><comments>http://pictaker.xanga.com/507904905/anyone-want-a-two-year-old-today/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, July 11, 2006</title><link>http://pictaker.xanga.com/507201136/item/</link><guid>http://pictaker.xanga.com/507201136/item/</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jul 2006 21:06:09 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;Just trying out this new Photo Hosting site. Its named Zooomer, and so far I like it better than the other free accounts I use such as Photobucket and Flickr.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This picture was taken about a month or so ago. I went on my first walk/run for charity and had a really nice day.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Surprisingly, I&amp;nbsp;was even&amp;nbsp;able to raise $100.00 in pledges for the Children's Miracle Network.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(I'm the one pushing the double jogger of course &lt;IMG height=15 src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/winky.gif" width=15&gt;).&lt;/P&gt;

But I am determined not to let that turn into a bad week.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hope you all had a nice weekend though. I cleaned and worked too much for it to feel like the "break" it should be. I also ate way too much.....*ack*&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Monday is fresh with no mistakes in it. &lt;IMG height=15 src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/happy.gif" width=15&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(I don't know what turtles have to do with anything, but I wanted to post a picture.) &lt;IMG height=15 src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/smiley3.gif" width=15&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;A href="http://x71.xanga.com/945e05140063365416826/b6008903.bmp" target=xangaphoto&gt;&lt;/A&gt;

&lt;P&gt;And a new Zooomr one too!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the welcome back (again) everyone!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have not been posting on Xanga largely in part to the&amp;nbsp;fact that I do not have all that much to say these days.&amp;nbsp; At least no ultra-positive or lightening bolt -&amp;nbsp;intelligent things to say.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Some days I think my two small children are working collectively to suck all my brain out of my body. How many times can you stoop to wipe up food off the floor before your brain just kind of slides out? I don't know...ummm..maybe 4 +&amp;nbsp;years worth?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Still, I know I&amp;nbsp;am in there&amp;nbsp;somewhere, lurking&amp;nbsp;under my "mommy suit" is the other parts of me. I just have to remember where I placed myself. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If only I had my brain!! &lt;IMG height=15 src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/winky.gif" width=15&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://pictaker.xanga.com/505575914/item/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
