paired with you.

my heart's content.

my email to cjane.

i know you aren't accepting comments on your blog at the moment so i hope leaving one via email will still get read for it is this post, THIS VERY VERY WONDERFUL POST that has compelled me to leave you a comment for the very first time. i insist you know how greatly this post has affected me.

i can't begin to tell you how much i appreciate your talent of writing! i have stalked your blog [when i get a RARE free minute--usually in the middle of the night] for almost a year now and i have enjoyed every word you have written. many times your words say exactly what i've always wanted to say but it was this post that i appreciated the most. you have put into words what i have felt since october 23, 2007 when i gave birth to my twin boys, jack & mckay. then, when they turned a year old, it became even more tongue-tying to figure out what this strong-hold was that they've had on my heart. it has been since then that i haven't been able to articulate how much they mean to me. saying that i love them just doesn't cut it sometimes! i have 2 other daughters whom i dearly love with all my heart but it is these 2 BOYS that have really held captive this other chunk of my heart that i can't entirely explain. but, like i said before, you just did. and i must thank you!

thank you! thank you!

sincerely,
haylie

ps i NEVER do this but i'm printing this post off now and putting it somewhere where i can read it again in the future. i'm sure it will come in handy as to remind me why i love them so much. like maybe tomorrow when i find they have AGAIN unrolled the entire toilet paper roll into the toilet and used the toilet brush for a toothbrush.

oh--one other thing--i'm going to post a copy of this email on my blog too. i know a lot of moms who have sons. i'm thinking that the link to your post may perhaps help them out with the aforementioned inability to articulate the immense crush they have on their little boys too. your post proves to be very helpful!

chronicle of every day life.

today,
i defrosted chicken
and
watched wwf.


ouch.
that one hurt.
at least cactus jack offers yokozuna a hug in the end.

so what did you do today?

ps i have no idea who cactus jack and yokozuna are, i just thought their names were silly.
ps in fact, if anyone would like to explain the whole wwf concept to me, go right ahead. i stand confused at the whole idea of grown hairy men pretending to beat each other up. i don't get it.

easter. a photo essay.

hello! glad to see some of our peeps stopped by.

get your running shoes on, we're going on an easter egg hunt!


you seen any eggs?
nope.
haven't seen any purple eggs.
especially on top of dead animal heads.
"i know there's one around here somewhere! i can just feel it!"i never knew a colorful little plastic egg could produce so much egg-citement.

maybe we should do an easter egg hunt every morning.
maybe she would actually make it to school on time? or not.

happy easter to everyone!
and a big hug to lynn for planning a great easter egg hunt!(that's him underneath all the hugs).

our own movie. kind of.

does it ever seem like you're in your own movie?

i kid you not, this same exact scene played out tonight between me and lynn:



except he left for meetings.
and i ran off to albertsons grocery shopping.
and we had 4 kids.

oh--and i kept his 'L' necklace.

********
ps i just re-watched the video and this post makes it seem that we had a fight and we were breaking up or something. um no. i just wanted to go out on a date with him as he was leaving for meetings so i decided to go grocery shopping instead of doing the dishes. so--there that fits better. or not?
