10 on....oh who cares.
1. Today was definitely one of those days that started out blah and continued to be blah. Woke up in a foul mood that never quite went away. Anything and everything was irritating to me. I hate that. The kids must have sensed it, as they were perfect tonight. Then Emerson gave me a beautiful picture that she colored. How can you not smile after that?
2. Have you ever witnessed a flash mob in person? I haven't, although I have seen them on a few TV shows...and although I don't watch Glee, I hear it is awesome. I saw this Flash Mob link on another site. Very cool!!!
3. Emerson has her big dance recital this coming weekend. She is SUPER excited. Probably more excited that she gets to wear makeup than the fact that she is dancing...haha!
4. If you haven't watched the Private Practice finale yet. Wow. Have your box of Kleenex. That darn show gets me every time...but this finale was the kind of crying reserved for true emotional experiences and here I was bawling at the darn show. So well written, I am not sure how any parent couldn't have been moved to tears. Loved it.
5. So the end of the school year is always crazy...but when you throw in tie dying 100 t-shirts, a musical production, a novel study, and the normal day to day craziness...well needless to say you have one crazy teacher. Who is almost convinced that she has completely lost her mind.
6. I am SO excited to watch the new Bachelorette. Pathetic huh?
7. I am political at times. I find certain causes that are very worth fighting and voting for. I definitely lean towards one side of the political arena. But, honestly all the information coming in the mail, on TV, in conversations, everywhere are starting to get a bit annoying. I can't stand it! I will vote for who I want. Stop trying to sway my opinion with your stupid flyer every few days in the mail and the same darn commercials! UGH!
8. Brennan lost his 2nd tooth the other day. My little boy is killing me...
9. Most every night I watch Grey's Anatomy on Lifetime. They are all reruns from past seasons. The kids have taken to stopping to watch from time to time. But Emerson has become fascinated with the medical side of the show (trust me, I censor a lot of it). But, one has to wonder if I have a medical professional in the making?
10. Do you take care of you? Manicure? Quiet time for you? Pedicure? Shopping time? Massage? Hair appointment? Do you take care of you? I read an article the other day that so many woman have found that they are always taking care of others and forget about themselves....do you take care of you?
Lots of love,

5 years...little man
Brennan Thomas (BT),
Little man, peanut, buddy, B, dude, little guy....I cannot even believe it has been 5 years since you entered our lives. I cannot even imagine a time without your beautiful spirit in it. You have grown so much, obviously, but in such a way that most people cannot understand. You are getting ready to start kindergarten. Just look at you, with your amazing little smile, ready to tackle each and every day.
I feel like this year has been full of milestones, yet at the same time, I am sure that it has flown by in a blur. You have learned how to ride a bike without training wheels, you learned how to read short words, you have made so many new friends at school. You love your taekwando classes each week with Master Oh. You really enjoy playing with cars, and making forts, and playing golf, and bugging your sister. All typical boy things.
You continue to be the most lovable little guy. Out of the blue, you will walk up to me, still, for a nestle in to give me a sweet little hug and kiss and say "I love you mommy". Then just casually go back to what you were doing before that sweet moment occured. You know exactly what to do to make my heart melt. On the other side, you are the most stubborn little guy I have EVER met. If there is something you really don't want to do, it won't happen. Period. (take after me much?!?!).
Where did 5 years old happen?!? I am so amazed at how far we have come from that little bed in the NICU at 5 days old. Really amazing is your strength.
Little man, Happy Birthday....I am so privileged to be your mommy. I love you so very much!
Lots of love,
Mommy
