Last year, on this date, my to-do list looked like this…
- Go to the hospital and have a c-section.
This year, today, my to-do list looks like this…
- Pack for our weekend trip to Big D’s parents’ house.
- Make 4 dozen cookies forBonny Annie’s Shakespeare production’s reception tonight.
- Slice two bags of apples for the same reception.
- Make fruit dip for the same reception.
- Show up and watch the actual production.
- Don’t forget to pick up Dirty Harry from Tae Kwon Do class.
- Don’t forget to bring the props for the play that Bonny Annie forgot.
- Feed the two children that I’m responsible for today.
- Get off the computer and start accomplishing some of the things on this list.
So, I really don’t have time to blog today, is what I’m trying to say. But it’s Jack Henry’s birthday, for crying outloud….I had to commemorate that somehow today.
We actually had our family celebration last night, since as you can see, there was no time today. We’re also celebrating with more family this weekend in NC. I think it’s safe to say that the Cap’n has no clue what is going on, but I think he’s enjoying it all the same.
And you’ll just never believe what he said to me this morning…
“Mommy, the one thing I want most in the world for my birthday, is for you to win the Funniest Home School Blog Contest. I know it’s a long shot since the voting ends in two days and you’re like 70 votes out of first place. But that is what would me the happiest baby in the world.”
Okay, so he didn’t actually say it with words, but I could see it in his eyes. Click the icon to cast a vote for me, The Pirate Mom…
The Cap’n and I will be eternally grateful!
Happy Birthday Captain Jack!

I gotta tell you, I’ve voted for you from every computer here at work.
Will PW throw tomatoes at you if you beat her? I know you said JH may be the way to draw attention, but if you had a t-shirt made that said 2009’s Funniest Home School Blog, I think that might do it. I know a guy who’s good at designing t-shirts…….

I voted once, but forgot to tell my hubby to do so from work. I’ll have him do that later today, if he can anyway. I’m not sure if they even have internet.

And mom, you look awesome after having a csection!!
