The kids and I busted out of sing sing today...I waited until the warden went to work...then I bribed my two adorable little jailers with the promise of fresh air and new sights...then, we just waltzed out of the place like we owned it...

We went to the mall...and I found that I could really spend alot of money if I ever won the lottery. And I also found out how old I am. Really old. Older than my years. But I still like cute clothes and shoes - even if I do wear mom jeans and tennis shoes. Forever 21 has really cute clothes with really inexpensive price tags. And there were some really adorable things in Carters today....but while we are window shopping - let's talk about Strasbourg children...Wow. I think that I kind of like this store called Urban Behavior. So cute.

I think that I want to buy the shirt that says "Buy me a drink." I think that I will buy that and wear it on a really hot day when I am really thirsty and...maybe someone would take pity on the fact that I was stupid enough to waste my money on a t-shirt, so they would buy me a huge icy lemonade or a nice cold coke...in one of those neat little cups at the zoo where the straw comes out of the animals head...which is a whole lot better than the straw coming out of the animals butt because that would just be gross...

Despite what things seem...I AM NOT a soccer mom. Nor will I ever be. Yes, instead of going for a nice long run outside I took a power walk in the mall. Yes, I wear my mom jeans on my huge heinie with pride. Yes, I have a I-don't-have-time-for-my-hair haircutt. And, yes, I quit caring if I was trendy a long time ago...BUT - get this - I listen to Metallica...and I sing to Metallica...and my son sings with me. So there.

Thank goodness that sickness has left the apartment...My little boy got hit with strep throat and then the flu. Now, I am happy to say, he is back to standards and up and running...And I am exhausted...Have you ever tried to tame a wild bear? If you had, you would know why I am so tired all the time...
