I’m having such a hard time keeping up with my blog. Our office has gotten into super-Big Brother mode and is monitoring all of our internet usage. Grrr…. So, I’ve been limited on my blog time and it’s killing me!!
I went shopping at lunch for some new clothes for our new dress code. OMG, shopping sucks! None of the shirts I tried on fit right because I’m a little big up top. So, they were either too fitted resulting in me looking like the seams would burst anytime, or not fitted enough and it looked like my attempt at a mumu shirt. So, I came back empty handed and super frustrated. I only made it to Sears and JCPenney’s, so I’m going to try Old Navy some other time this week and pray for a miracle.
Last week I did lots of evacuee helping. I took tons of supplies that were donated by my super-wonderful blogging buddies to some of the shelters and I also took some cookies and microwave popcorn in little bags with the youth from my church. It was fun and these people are really appreciative.
LittleMan has gotten really into dancing lately. He has figured out how to turn on the radio portion of our clock radios and dances all over our bedroom. He also has gotten in the habit of saying “yes ma’am” which is really cute.
Sorry the update is so short, I need to finish my lunch!

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.
