Dude.
I often say that I am the friend people love to have because things always things always happen to me that you can laugh at...but you wouldn't want them to happen to you.
Here is another example of that.
Starbucks. 1:00pm. Friday.
Enters: A happy energetic Jessica, ready for an afternoon green tea. She waltz's right in smiling at all the folks enjoying their afternoon teas and coffee goods.
Out of the corner of her eye she sees something large and round and she must turn her head to look. Its a gigantic blown up animal of some sort. Some sort of radio station must be promoting something. Why else would there be a huge blow up Cat right outsi.....Whap!
Jessica walked right into another human being. This innocent bi standard who probably saw me coming, yet didn't give me the "excuse me!" that most other people would, had they noticed me waltzing full speed ahead. I cause this poor older women to spill her HOT latte all over the floor....I am not finished yet.
So , I said she spilled her hot Latte all over the floor. Much to my surprise she didn't spill a drop on her blouse, this I noticed from my position on the floor... where I slipped in her Latte and fell right on my tail bone. Lovely.
Still not done.
Right as I fall to the floor in the Latte a man turns and trips right over me. Now lucky for hi he did not meet the same fate as I. You see, I was there to hold him up, my face was there to hold him up...my right cheek bone was there to hold him up. His knee plowed right into my cheek. He didn't fall though, lucky guy.
So there I am in all my splendor, starring at the now stupid blow up cat outside the window. Yep I know now that it is for sure a blow up cat. I had a clear view, straight shot from the floor.
All the folks at the Starbucks know me so they made the latte lady another drink and didn't charge me for it, they even gave me a free piece of chocolate to make me feel less embarrassed. It helped a little. Until I wrote this and realized WHAT A MORON I REALLY AM!
So there you have it. In the history books folks.

Letter to Jaden
"mmmm Wake me up with a pet mom."
Jaden's famous first words almost every morning. She likes it when I grab a stuffed dog and tell it to "wake up Jaden, its time to get ready for school" and then the dog precedes to tickle her and pull the covers off.
So, this morning I woke her up with a pet. Her big stuffed dog named Icy. Icy has had more reconstructive surgery than Joan Rivers. I have sewn every leg, both ears, one eye and the tail so many times I cannot count. Icy no longer holds his original shape and has lost around 5 lbs due to massive stuffing loss. Icy is the old time favorite though. (Icy used to be called Dizzy, but apparently has had a name change)
Currently, her bed time toys are Icy, a bunny that she insists is a puppy named Verruca and a bear she also insists is a puppy named Katie.
She loves them and they have been going everywhere with us these days. Last night I spied on her at bedtime...she was singing "Jesus Messiah" to them. Of course she was singing the chorus over and over and over but still very sweet none the less.
This morning in the car on the way to school, she was singing "It ain't me Babe" to them.
Gosh, where does time go? I swear, I have days that seem to drag on until I want to pull my eyes out of my sockets and yet the time with Jaden just keeps flying by. I wish I could freeze time. But I can't.........no, I cant.
She is so silly, and has a very advanced sense of humor for her age. I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have opened a kitchen cabinet only to have a stuffed animal leap out at me. How many times she has squeezed Ketchup onto her fingers and fake cry until I get in real close to look at the "boo boo" only to have her lick the ketchup and both gross and freak me out until I realize that in fact, its ketchup.
She does come by it honestly though. She does get me sometimes though man, really get me. Last night I was in the bathroom running her tub and I hear her scream bloody murder. I run out to the living room and see nothing. I cant find her now. I turn to look in the closet (her usual hiding spot) and right when I turn around she jumps off the bed right at me! Lags and arms flailing and roaring like a lion. My heart skipped a beat man. Then when she realized the success of her handy work she breaks in laughter and says "hahaha I got you ".
Little Bug.
So thats it. Jsut want to blog everyday so Jaden can look back and read all about stuff in "the old days".

The Contest
Picture it.
5am I am putting the tea pot on the stove.
I turn around and here comes Jbug in her long Jon Jammie's with her hand in her pants scratching her butt and yawning at the same time.
Now anybody that knows Jaden well, knows that when she wakes up in the morning she has the look of a 20 year old after an all night er...the "don't talk to me for at least five minutes" look.
I continue to get my mug ready with honey, and as I do I hear" hey mom where is your coffee?"
Normally I am making coffee in the morning but I have been fighting a soar throat and cold so I am making tea.
"Oh I am making tea to make my throat feel better bug."
Jaden just stands there in all her morning glory and looks at me.
I say " what do you need bug? you hungry yet?"
"No. I just don't understand all of this tea mom."
After i laugh, she gives the "hey don't laugh at me" look.
So I stop laughing as she walks away to her toy basket and plops down in front of.
She starts pulling out toys and looks at them....I can almost read her thoughts"boring toys".
She begins pulling all the toys out one at a time and tossing them behind her in reckless abandon when I come in the living room and say" dude what are you doing? Your making a huge mess over here bug."
She looks around at the scattered toys and shrugs her shoulders.
Background story:
Jaden and I have been reading a story at bedtime about a little girl named Francis who has a hard time going to sleep at night because of all the noises animals make at night. Her father explains to her that its a crickets job to chirp at night and that its the winds job blow the branches on the trees etc. So now whenever I ask Jaden to do something she replies " yep that's my job, huh mom?"And whenever I do something "its your job momma" Normally its my job to make coffee in the morning and its her job to eat her breakfast in the morning.
Back to the story:
I stand there in the living room looking at Jaden, who is now standing up with hands firmly on hips and looking at me. (Super Grump)
"Pick up some of these toys please" I say as I hold my tea.
"I'm not going to work today mom" she says and walks off to our room, closes the door and gets back into bed.
I go into our room, pull the covers off of sleeping beauty and say "hey, its time to get up. I want you to pick up some of those toys too." And I walk back to the kitchen to get her breakfast ready.
I turn around and there she is again.
Hands on hips.Long Jon Jammie's. Messy hair. Eyebrows slightly angry.
I say" Jaden are going to pick up your mess or not?"
She replies" I told you mom, I am not doing my job today!"
"Jaden, pick up your toys." I say.
"mom, make coffee and then I will pick up my toys."
"Excuse me?" I say.
" When you do your job I will do mine."
Then we stand there, starring at one another.
We are now heavily engaged in what has become a routine in our household when small issues become big issues for no reason, and we both know the only way to resolve them is by shrugging it off....the starring contest.
Jaden makes the same face I do when I try not to laugh so its hard not laugh. Shes good though,tiny hands on tiny hips is funny stuff.
Finally she breaks, and walks away to pick up her toys while laughing.
I won. I won. Thank God.
It is one of the hardest things as a parent, to discipline your kid when they are being funny. She was being defiant, but funny and it was tough.
The starring contest seems to be a happy medium for us though.
I won.
Mommy 1,152 wins
Jaden 7 wins

Its a New Day!
"I will say Hi I'm Jaden Elise Larkin do you want to be my friends?" I hear quietly from the backseat. Jaden and I are on our way to a new Pre-school this morning and Jaden is rehearsing what she will say to the new kids. " Oh Natalie! We can be friends again!" I hear.
Then there is some silence followed by " Mom, I will ask the kids to be my friends right?" I say " sure honey if you want to. It's up to you who your friends are so chose them carefully okay?"
She thinks about it for a minute...
We pull in to the parking lot and as I turn off the car and turn around for our morning "pep talk" Jaden says " I want to pick only kids that treat me with respect huh mom." I say "yes that's right, and if there are kids that are rude, you should just love them and be extra nice. And tell your teacher if anybody hurts you okay?"
"okay mom, I think I will be okay though. I am a very nice girl and I will wait to ask my Friends to be my friends first."
So she had it all planned out and was ready to go. She asked me if her friend Natalie was there and I said I didn't know yet. Just then Natalie and her mom go walking by. "Natalie! There she is mom! Shes still here!"
We go inside right behind Natalie, and the two girls hug, they hugged for a long time and then they kissed each other. Jaden immediately began to unzip her backpack and show Natalie her nap time toy and her Tinkerbell blanket and her spare clothes for in case she had an accident.
Natalie used to go to Kinder Care with Jaden so they knew each other well. For out visit a few weeks ago Jaden saw Natalie and was immediately sold Wee Care as her new Pre-school.
I walked Jaden into her class and Natalie took Jadens hand and said Jaden, come with me and lets be Friends!"
Jaden found her cubby and then she went to hang up her coat...Natalie hung up her coat for her. Jaden was trying to process all this, you could see in her eyes how happy she was that this was her school and that it was finally her first day.
Before going to sit down next to Natalie, Jaden ran up to me and hugged and kissed me and said "mom I really love it here thank you letting me come to this school with my new Friends and thank you for all the blessings mom! I am happy and I am crying, but nobody hurt me, I am just happy mom. " She was so happy, she had tears in her eyes, she was so happy. The look on her little face was one I will never forget as long as I live. She was just so happy.
Anyhow, Jaden is a big girl now. She has her new pal again and I cant wait to pick her up and hear all the details.

What is your rainy day favorite?
I am at work. Thinking about all the things I would rather be doing right now.
Taking a quick break to ask you guys what you love most about the rainy days we have had lately. I love the rain, I love the heat too but because its raining I will only ask about rain.
What are your favorite things to do in the rainy weather?
"Oh Me you ask?"
Well, I love to build a big fire with real wood, not the duraflame log as per the usual but a big crackly roaring fire. I like to put on my cozies and slippers and lay right in front of the fireplace on my back while Jaden hurls her 45 pound body knees first into my chest.
I like a nice hot cup of green tea or some good coffee. Maybe nice piece of dark chocolate.Or two.
I like to just crack my window a tiny bit and listen to the sounds of the rain and feel the warmth of the fire on my face. ahhh.
then, when I am outside, I cannot resist jumping in prime puddles. I have gone home with wet socks two days in a row because I cant help myself!

Thank you and Good Night!
I got hit by another lesbian.
I would now like to take this time to say that in the past three years I have been hit on by more lesbians than men.
In fact, the only man that has hit on me was a creepy old guy at work. So, Lesbos 4 and creepy old guy 1. That makes a total of 5 hit ons.
At least the one Lesbian sent me a chocolate basket complete with candy and caffeinated beverages.
Thank you all for being a great audience! Goodnight!
I am now going to take my seat in the theater of life and watch as other people play the roles of love and harmony. Pass the popcorn.

My Dependence is on Him
Last night I went to sleep at 7:30pm. I was exhausted.This week has been the follow up to a rough previous week. Last week I thought, "I just need to get through this week and I will be okay again." This week I find myself saying " I just need to get through this week and then next week will be easier." As this day goes on I can see the forecast for the next week already looming and approaching quickly.
My Dependence is on Him. It has to be, otherwise I would fail myself and my daughter in some way I am sure of it. My dependence is on Him.
I have been working at home in addition to my work in the office. Every now and again I take a laptop home to keep caught up on things. Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday I have been up until the late hours of the night working. I go to sleep and then wake up remembering one more thing I need to do and I do it. But mostly I am putting on a couple pots of coffee and knocking it out. So last night I slept with my bug snuggled next to me at 7:30pm.
My Dependence is on Him. It has to be, otherwise I would crack by now under the enormous pressure I have been experiencing.
Pressure I put on myself, pressure to be on top of every little thing at work, Pressure to keep up with the other moms at Jadens school. Valentines are due tomorrow as are snacks for the party they are having at 2pm that I wont get to be apart of because I have to work. Correction, I will get there when the party is over. Pressure to be in shape and keep working out everyday. Pressure to be a mom and a Dad for who knows how long. Pressure to budget my finances, clean the dirty kitchen, do the laundry. Pressure to be a super awesome mom all the while. Pressure is all I feel today. Pressure is all I ever feel anymore.
My dependence is on Him. I t has to be. Otherwise I would have carried this pressure all day instead of giving it God this morning in prayer.
I depend on God. I never used to. I used to depend on my own abilities and strengths. The downside to that was that I also fell back into my own weaknesses. Not anymore.
Since I have really given my heart to the Lord I find myself calling on Him before I take things out of His hands and back into mine. I can't hold this pressure on my shoulders today but He can so He took it. Tomorrow maybe I wont feel this way but I know that no matter what, I depend on Him.
I can do all things in Christ where my strength is. I can do all things because He carries the burden, the weight, the pressure. It is amazing what a regular person is able to when the worry, pressures and burdens are absent from the situation.
My Dependence is on Him. I like that. For the first time ever, I run to God instead of ignoring Him and dealing with things on my own. I truly Depend on Him. That's awesome.
I know everybody feels pressures and has bad days, but how awesome is God that we can depend on Him to carry the load? How awesome is it that we don't have to be stressed or tired if we don't want to be? Man I love that!
Wings of Eagles He promises us. Once Eagles strive and strain to get in the sky they just soar. They stop doing all the work and they let the environment around them be what carries them. they no longer fly against wind they use the wind to rest and soar.
I like that promise. I want to use my environment today to Soar instead of working against it.
Just wanted to share that today is all. It made me feel so assured today to realize that I depend on Him. I wouldn't want to depend on anybody else.
