Bitter: Going back to work is difficult after a couple of days off.
Sweet: Going back to work can be even more difficult when your 1 1/2 year old son gives you a kiss goodbye before you leave for work and says "I love you, Mommy" for the first time.
We surprised the little Bees with the sprinkler....
Put the Bees to work (that grass isn't going to sweep itself, you know)...
Gave love to an alligator...
Learned how to use a squirt gun....
Had tantrums in the privacy of our home....
Swung....
Spotted airplanes...
Looked cute...
Lounged by the pool with Peach Iced Tea (that would be me)....
Splashed Mommy's camera....
Drank hose water....
Ahem, drank lots of hose water....
Wore goggles indoors...
.... and cuddled.
It knows no boundaries. (And yes, that is Max's leg that is lifted.)
I don't really watch or read any gossip magazines, I try to stay away from all the gossip magazines aside from reviews of shows and movies and information about shows I like. Still, certain things have infiltrated my world, and I would like them to go away. I would like to call this the "Exiled into Pop Culture Oblivion". Please people, make them stop! Here are my top ten things that I wish to never hear of again:
1. Perez Hilton: Dude, as if you weren't annoying enough already. You have to go and call someone else a gay slur to "piss them off". This is not the way to show tolerance. I'm not asking you to be a spokesperson for gay rights, but I am asking you not to further perpetuate this slur.
2. Chris Brown: Not even gracing you with a picture with this one. I think this is self explanatory. Moving on....
3. Jennifer Aniston's Love Life: No, not Jennifer Aniston. Of course I love Jennifer Aniston. She's adorable! But I never want to hear another word about her love life. Never. I don't care that she went out on a date with Vince Vaughan er, John Mayer, er Bradley Cooper, and it was fun. I just don't give a rat's ass, and I really don't think her and Brad are having late night meetings behind Angelina's back, either.
4.Michael Jackson Songs: Okay, yes, it's sad he died, but guess what? I hadn't listened to his music in about 10 years; neither had anyone else. Give it a rest DJ's.... try to limit yourselves to 10 MJ songs per night, m'kay?
5. Two name combos for couples: Brangelina, Bennifer... why do people think that is fun or clever? If I heard someone using these in real life seriously, I might feel compelled to slap them. For their own good, of course.
6. Jon and Kate: This is sad, people, that people's lives and worse yet, children's lives are being ruined by fame and we are encouraging it by watching. Turn the TV show off, let the ratings slide and let those poor children have a break. Why aren't we holding executives at TLC accountable for letting this monstrosity go on for as long as it has?
7. The Hills and the Real World: Seriously MTV, stop pretending that these shows are real. Own up to the fakeness like Vh1 has. (I can't help it but I heart Rock of Love. At least it owns up to it's own trampiness campiness.)
8. Lady Gaga: Seriously WTF Lady Gaga? I know you think that you are "cutting edge" and avant garde with this getup, but really you are just coming across as misogynistic.
9. MTV: You are called Music Television, yet I have not seen a video on your channel for years! Why don't you just change your name to SRTV (scripted "reality" television)?
And finally, last but not least.....
