Kerri tagged me with this one:

Take a picture of yourself right now and post it. No primping. No putting your hair up in a ponytail holder, etc. Then tag three more people.

I love how I stumbled across this tag after a VERY rough Sunday with my sleep deprived two-year-old. I think today was his worst day EVER. So here I am looking very authentic--tired. Just go ahead and stick a fork in me--I'm done!

I tag Erin, Janae, Amber, and those mentioned on Kerri's blog!

Most Embarrassing Moment

Ummm. . . yeah. . . I now know my most embarrassing moment. It came to my realization Monday night while visiting (probably for the second time since we've lived here these past 13 months) my neighbor on the north side of us. The single male neighbor with the two teenage boys. After checking out the cool deck he is making in his backyard, I took a long glance at my bathroom window which faces his kitchen and one of the boys' bedrooms. To my horror I noticed how transparent my "privacy" window is. It turns out the privacy window is not so private. So, yeah, now I'm feeling really embarrassed and sick. I'm thinking it's not a matter of if I've been spotted in the shower, it's more of how many times I've flashed my neighbors. Nice.

After bringing this fact to Eric's attention (who reassured me time after time that the privacy window was in fact private), he went to Home Depot and installed these blinds. Thank you very much, Hon. I'm really looking forward to a truly private shower now!

From First Day to Last

I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! Abby and Will have both excelled in school, and I'm very thankful for their teachers for being so dedicated to their profession. What a long way Will has come from his first day of school 180 days ago! He has made a 180 degree turn--from a whimpering little boy when I left him that first day to a confident, smiling, silly, and well-liked individual in his class. And Abby--wow! Her writing and handwriting have improved amazingly. I am proud of her hard work all year and for learning how to make the best of a sometimes rough situation. Way to go big kids! Now it's time for some summer fun!

. . . I got it!

Yep, Eric treated me to this dandy of a bike (Electra Daisy) on Memorial Day. I LOVE it! It's better in person--all the way from the comfy seat and green rims down to the flower design tire tread. It's so smooth and comfortable. I'm absolutely in love with it so much so that I might be found riding it around the neighborhood in the middle of the night! Can't wait to take it for a spin again. . .
