Everyone who was in elementary school between the years 1980 and 1999 surely know about the Oregon Trail. It was a simple game, played on a simple computer (a PC of course) and it was all about getting yourself and your "family" across a river without dying. There were a few ways to die on the ol' trail, some of them being having a real bad case of the cha cha's, or you could drown in the river. There was no shortage of 'real life' here folks. And to make the game even better- you could write on your own tombstone. Some kids in my class would write something normal like, "here lies andy," but then there were those fools who wrote their favorite pizza combo and misspelled the word pepperoni. Seriously?
Anyway- tonight as I am listening to my printer crank out about 100 sheets of paper, I was reminded of the Oregon Trail. Not that this has ANYTHING to do with my printing...But it has EVERYTHING to do with my over heated body. You see, when we got home from the Kuntry, our A/C didn't really want to cool the casa down. After about 3 hours of waiting for a cool home, I decided to call American Home Shield. They suck. But we still have a contract with them for the next 30 days, so I am going to use them up. I was just wondering if the peeps on the Oregon Trail missed air conditioning as much as I do...Talk amongst yourself.

Houndstooth, it's what's for dinner...
Just kidding. I just couldn't think of a funny "title" tonight. I have so much going through the good ol' cabeza at the moment.
Today, I got my kitchen repainted and the guest bath re wallpapered- both look impeccable! Thank you Perry Parker and James! You rock. Digits for Perry: 214.986.7297. Tell him Erin sent you.
I also got to spend some good quality time with my grandmother today. We went to Buy Buy Baby, lunch at Braum's, then back to her house to open our gifts from Europe. She brought Luke the cutest London car set, me a beautiful mirrored box, and Abe got some Turkish Delite. I know he'll be thrilled to see this when he gets home from his class de firearm.
This weekend is Mother's Day, so I feel like it might be a good idea to post a pic of me with the kid. The most recent pic I have is this one:
I know that is pretty darn sad, so maybe this weekend my sweet hubby can take a few of me with the little toot. I am loving being a mom and in no hurry to add to our clan, but I must say, this age with Luke is so entertaining. I have also learned so much about myself and parenting (patience, laughing it off, holding my nose when changing a #2 diaper, plug covers DO matter, taking pictures of my kid in a grocery cart is totally OK and acceptable, whatever is sitting on the floor is fair game, reminding hubby to put the toilet seat down doesn't just aid in keeping us married, it keeps Luke dry, Red Wagon Walks are the best, visiting with other mom's on a regular basis keeps the soul sane, lists and goals are made to be broken, sleep when the baby sleeps, when in doubt scrambled eggs are way ok for dinner, vising Sam Moon without a sippy cup and puffs is a really bad plan, leaving the house without doing a 'once over' in the mirror gets you some funny stares at Target...how did that puff get in my hair?, the list could go on). I am just so thankful to be a mama and truly have a treasure growing up in my home. He is the light of my life.
Happy Mother's Day to all you mama's out there! Ain't life grand?
