Excuse My Absence

But in addition to attending Kid's "Earth Day" creek cleanup (Holy poison ivy!), then getting Baby's lunch, and then walking back to get Kid (in the blazing sun along the street with ABSOLUTELY NO SHADE TREES) and then back home again (someone give me a freaking medal for not melting into the ground or yelling at Kid despite her incessant need to pull back on the stroller while I try and push Baby... adding about one million tons of resistance)....

I am also tackling this space...

Which is covered in dust and pollen... hmm... didn't think about that when we left all this stuff out over the winter.


Oh by the way for those of you curious about Mr F's magazine cover... you can see it HERE... it's the blue May 2009 cover shown in the left upper hand corner.

Also Kid was featured modeling a tutu in that issue (I will get you a picture!) and the store owner loved her so much they want her to model more of their stuff... um... Kid is THRILLED. Her verbatim response when I told her was to gasp and ask "Am I famous?". Yes my dear... famous just like your mother is... in our own heads.
