I {heart} My Grandmother

When the summer before I turned 21 I ran away from home (sort of) and moved in with my Grandmother. She and I have always had a special relationship. I adore her, she is a woman that I hope to emulate, strong, hard headed a slightly crazy. It also helps that I am her FAVORITE grandchild (and that's saying something because there are 40+ of us) Okay, Okay, I may NOT be her FAVORITE but she makes me feel that way, that's how awesome she is she makes us ALL feel like we are her FAVORITE.

Well I have been missing my Granny something fierce lately - don't worry she is not GONE {insert gloomy music} - she just lives 12 hours away and with gas being $4 a gallon and having two children under the age of three (one of which that up until TODAY was seeing a doctor on a bi-weekly basis ) a 12 car ride is not a very feasible idea - as much as I have entertained that idea as of late.

So... I did the next best thing. I made Pork Chops! They were (while I lived there) and are a staple in her house, they are her favorite thing to eat. They have to have bones, so you can chew on them, and applesauce should accompany them. As I sat there after everyone else had finished my last supper worthy meal I reveled in the bliss that was chewing on the bones. I even called my Dear Old Granny to tell her I was thinking about her.

She laughed and said, "Oh yeah, Pork Chops make you think of me... Great!"

I <3 My Granny!!!

Tender Moments

There are times that I wonder if I'm EVER going to be able to handle TWO children.

And then I see this.

"Hey brother, do you wanna play? Rawr!!"

Hummm....

I've been having seriously strange dreams lately.

I mean strange.

Maybe I should stop eating brownies in the middle of the night?

Proof

So my father has been giving me a hard time. Telling me that Mr. Chase 2.0's smile is like this cartoon. He didn't really believe that Mr. Chase 2.0 had actually done this, I was making it up. Well here's proof!

At 16 weeks and 6 days Mr. Chase 2.0 finally decided to do this.

I Looked Out The Window

This was the view from my front porch yesterday.

A double rainbow.

And if you look VERY closely you can see deer frolicking in the field.

Miss Daisy ran outside in my ruby crocs and her diaper proclaiming

"Look, its MY rainbow!"

It looked like it landed in the field.

Grumble Grumble

I feel like this today.

I'm in a bad mood.

I hate video games.

I think men are stupid.

I'm Grouchy.

And being a milk cow, pretty much sucks!

(pun intended)

The Coolest Name

Is there anything better than being called

Dad or Mom?
