Not my favorite expensive stone

Got put under and intubated twice today. I think I've met my quota for the year. Gotta love kidney stones. Sore. And bladder trauma is not enjoyable. In case you were wondering. More later.

Valentine's Day at our house

Happy Valentine's Day from our house to yours!

Notes to Self

Dear Erin,
When you order pizza online from Papa John's and it says it will arrive in 30-40 minutes and you think "Great! I have time to jump in the shower" (because it is 5 p.m. and you haven't done that yet for the day), you actually DO NOT have time to jump in the shower. Because the pizza guy will arrive in more like 22 minutes and your son will yell through the door "Just a minute! My mom has to get dressed!" and then you will have to answer the door in a towel and bathrobe and it will be awkward for all involved.
Sincerely,
Erin

Dear Erin,
When you are spending your Friday date night shopping at the dollar store (which I know you like to do), watch out for mysterious wet substances raining down on your head from above. Because sometimes when you are perusing the book section, a customer in the next aisle will be testing all of the spray deodorants by spraying them up and over the shelf and on to you...and in the process giving you that special Eau de Dollar Tree to enjoy for the rest of your date.
Sincerely,
Erin

Dear Erin,
When you hear one of your children laughing, the other one is nearby crying. When you hear both of your children laughing, you will be crying shortly when you see what they've done.
Regretfully,
Erin

Dear Mother,

I would like to thank you for giving my children drums for Christmas.

Was I really that horrible as a child that you feel the need to punish me so?

The children are greatly enjoying them.

Love,
Erin
