Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this...

Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.  

Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.  

I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our french doors and into the front door and get the job done (I thought of that one too).  I told him a this point it would be better to pretend to do his morning computer routine and then "check" on Alex and Nathan. 

Then I am laying in bed at 6 AM too early for me to get up and I don't want to make it obvious to Madison (if she is awake) that something is going on.  If she is awake she will want to get up too.  I get up to get my itouch out of my purse to email Mark to see if the plan worked.  I was under the covers emailing Mark at 6:05 to make sure the tooth fairy got the job done.  Then I remember it is Saint Patrick's Day.  I always... I mean the leprechauns always turn our milk green. So, I'm under the covers again to email Mark.  I can't risk her seeing me on the ipod, it lights up the whole room.  I had to giggle.  I am a grown woman under my covers in the 6 AM hour emailing my husband in the other room to hide our lies!! ALL LIES! Shameful uh?  

Madison got her cash, the milk was green and all is one with the universe.  She is a riot. She was surprised that the milk tasted the same. She even made me taste it.  She then said today was her luckiest day ever!  Tooth fairies and leprechauns all in one morning.  Hard work.  I told her she was lucky the Leprechaun didn't take her cash.   If she only knew the truth.  Lucky she woke up at 5:30 AM and fell back to sleep on the couch.  OYE VE!

Crazy fun! You don't know how many times Erik and I forgot to put money under the pillow! We never thought of green milk though. Very creative.

Ditto on Ada's comment. Alyssa had tooth fairy issues several times. I would get to the point that I would go out and get the money and put it in my pocket at the same time she was putting the tooth under her pillow to try and help me remember. It is crazy how something so silly as the tooth fairy job can make us panic when we forget. Glad you plan worked. I love the green milk idea, never heard of it before.

Break is over!

Wow! It took me some time to log onto Blogger. I always feel like it is a test when I have to remember a password on an account. I couldn't remember the email or password. That is when you know it has been awhile.  I started a new blog on wordpress. I have been writing but it is all about crafty DIY project and organization. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I ever use Box of Chocolates and I was sad to say, "No".  So here I am with a renewed outlook on Box of Chocolates.  You never know what you are going to get, but here I am again so at least it will be something. For a year I have been wanting to do National Novel Writing Month. It is the month of November.  The process has already started for me. I have been reading books on writing and doing research on some of the ideas I have for my Novela. Novel sounds so much better to me in Spanish. I think I have written about things in different languages sometimes just sound better. I think it was a post on my ...

NaNoWriMo & Peeps

peeps pēps/ noun  informal people (often used to refer to a person's friends or associates). "thanks for the feedback, peeps!" If you choose to do NaNoWriMo you have got to explain to the ones you love and cherish what you are doing in November. The more warnings the better. I told my husband a year before I started NaNoWriMo that I wanted to   do a month writing challange and explained the details. I didn’t talk about it all year but once October came around I started to talk more about NaNoWriMo. I talked about it so much my second year that my kids wanted to do NaNoWriMo too.   It was fun to do some writing prep with my kids.   My oldest has already set a goal for this year.  If you have kids you should check out the  Young Writers Program .  They can set word goals. I like encouraging my kids to write with me. It might even help me justify writing on Saturday and Sunday when I have a kid or two a...

Ripples

I am always surprised by people that toss rocks into the water and expect there to be no ripple. Social media is a crazy phenomena in your current world. Social media here you can post your thoughts, pictures and tweet (limited to 140 characters) for the world to see in an instant.  Where apparently you can say things you would never say to someones face. With this phenomena is the ability for people to rant and complain about anything. There is good in social media but the ones that toss boulders into the water not expecting to get wet amaze and entertain me. My personal favorite although I don't think it is considered social media but is up for debate is the blog. My blog is where I can rant or rave for more than 140 characters. I blog when the 140 characters can no sum up the thoughts, feelings or epiphanies that the day has had for me. I love social media. I hate social media. The information that we can get at our finger tips is quick and easy and with social media I can s...
