A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

I swear my husband loves me, but there are days that I doubt that! We had one of those days...

I got out the progesterone in oil bottle and warmed it in my bra (Totally Glamourous!) Got out the syringe and the needles and alcohol pads. Alex washed his hands, I took the bottle out of my bra and alcohol swabbed it and handed it over. As I wiped my butte with an alcohol swab he drew up the meds with a huge long needle. I then leaned against the counter and held on with tight hands took a deep breath and closed my eyes. He counts, "1, 2, 3". And then shoots the needle in - I scream and hear a, "oh sorry, it bounced off". This happens a 2nd time and then a third I am now in tears. He says, "we're going to have to try the other side." I say "wait, I need a minute. He says, "OH. I forgot to change the needle." The syringe comes with a huge ugly thick needle that after you draw up meds you change to a huge thin needle that will actually go through the skin to stick in your muscle. My butte is sorer than sore and now I dont just have ugly lumps I have bruises to match my thighs and stomach from the blood thinner.

He swears it was an accident! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
