Well, today's the big day, so HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY HOOKER!!

A special message for the Hooker:
I remember 17 years ago being so excited that I was going to have a baby to play with. I was only 8 years old, but thought I could babysit and help out.
When I found out that you were sick, I didn't really understand, but I cried because you couldn't come over and play with me.
I remember going to my room and getting some notebook paper, markers, and crayons and I decided that I would draw you a picture to make you feel better (aren't kids just simple...lol). I found a carosel horse stencil and stenciled the horse onto the sheet of paper.
Then I colored it and wrote Get Well Soon I Love You or something like that.
I was excited that mom and dad were going to take me to the hospital to see you. I thought I would get to hold you, but when I got there, you were hooked up to all kinds of machines and they told me that I couldn't see you because you were too sick.
So, I gave Nana my picture and she held it and cried. Of course, I thought it was because the picture was ugly. I couldn't color to save my life...ask Mrs. Drayton my kindergarten teacher.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that picture is in your room in your baby book now.
I'm glad you didn't stay sick very long and became my favorite pain in the ass (besides Wayne). I love you lots and I'm very proud of you!
Love ya Hooker!

Okay...on to something that doesn't make me tear up...
I joined the gym yesterday and went for the first time today. I still had paperwork to fill out, so I didn't get to do everything I wanted to, but I did manage 20 minutes on the treadmill. A co-worker and myself have decided to do the Race for the Cure on September 10th and I really want to have a good time and possibly even place in my age group. (Yeah, right...)
But, I guess it's good to have a goal, right?

Anyway, I guess I'd better get back to work. I've been super busy lately. I'm so ready for my vacation! Just 3 more weeks!

Melissa
Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
