—Luke slept for 12 straight hours, without making a peep, last night and the night before. I feel like a brand new woman after these full nights of sleep. Thank you baby boy!

—Mom fail yesterday: Cares presented her little zoo animal report in class and I completely forgot to attend. She came home from school wondering why I hadn't shown up when all the other moms had. Oh, I felt so bad and just wanted a major redo of the afternoon. The littles and I had even been out and about grocery shopping instead! I told her I was sorry a hundred times over. Dang it. I hate when I let my darlings down.

—I'm working on a fun Father's Day project for Joseph. With all he does for me, for us, for our family, I want to make sure he doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Last year I felt horrible and I didn't do anything out of the ordinary for him but he so deserves extra love and a surprise gift on his special day.

—THIS is definitely making me want to share the love with my man:

My fancy mother's day gift—a new (refurbished) laptop which has tons more memory than my current one! Gigabytes make me so happy (and so nerdy!) We need to update the Adobe software before I can really use it as Photoshop has become one of my most used applications—thanks to my smart, designer husband who has patiently taught me so much about using it.
