Life of a Single Mom!!!

I need to apologize first off to any of you who have e-mailed or called me and I have forgot to respond. See, what happens is I respond in my head after listening to my voice mail or e-mail and then I think I've answered the question... Apparently it doesn't work like that in the real world, but as I am on the verge of craziness, I have a valid excuse. Two Small Children and no hubby = memory loss!!!!

The kids are going crazy w/ lack of male influence right now. They went to having Tio Christian and Daddy all the time to nada! So every time we hang out at a friends house and the dad is at home, it's an all our wrestling match. Sorry for anyone that has had to endure that! Anyways, we miss having Daddy at home. Just yesterday as I was cleaning out the 1/2 roll of T.P. that Allegra dumped in the bath tub; subsequently clogging the drain, I really missed Joel. Can I tell you that picking up quickly disintegrating soggy T.P. out of the bathtub is hard and gross. I kept thinking of overflowing toilets and was dry heaving half of the time. Luckily my new BFF Drano did the rest of the trick!!! Where was I when Allegra did this might you ask, passed out on the couch! No I was helping Gianluca. Oh the things kids can do in a few short minutes.

I also had a fun weekend w/ my college roommate Karen this weekend. Her and her fam were here and we played all weekend long! It was a blast!!! I love Karen and how upbeat she is! We had a great time reminiscing!!!

Other than that, We've been playing w/ a lot of frogs lately in our yard! I guess all of the tadpoles around here grew some legs and migrated to our yard because we have TONS of frogs. I think the top amount that GL has caught is in the upper 20's in one setting. Pretty impressive if you ask me! Allegra loves them to but is afraid to touch them... Just like her mom!!!

P.S. Just wanted to add and give a big shout out to my amazing friends who are taking great care of us!!! I love you guys!
