happy birthday, pizzaface grandma!

I'm really trying my darnedest to post here every day, even if it's just to say, hey, Kathryn and I sat at home all day and I lost my mind. However, today was not one of those days. We were extremely busy.

This morning we headed to Elizabeth and Daphne's place for a little parallel play. Although our kids were not having any thing to do with any kind of play. They were cranky. If one started crying, the other joined in the chorus. And Kathryn pitched her biggest fit yet over God knows what. She is only 14 months old. What is she going to be like when she's 2? Or a teenager? Please, some one tell me, what did I do to deserve this???

Driving to Elizabeth's house involves maneuvering through the land of the Snowbirds which always gets me hot and bothered. I think I was the only Arizona license plate on the road for a two mile stretch. I love getting stuck behind some old geet from Minnesota doing 25 in a 45.

We came home by early afternoon and all of the pitch fitting must have gotten to Kathryn because she passed out in the car. She took a much needed nap while I made brownies from scratch for my grandmother's birthday. Yes, I know, I've gotten all domestic and shit. It's absolutely disgusting.

By late afternoon we were off again, headed in to Phoenix for my grandmother's 91st birthday celebration. This consisted of a homemade meal courtesy of my mother and Kathryn putting on a show, which included more fit pitching because I wouldn't let her drag all of the garbage out of the recycle bin.

And now I'm home, thinking, wow, I'm beat. I had better get to bed soon because we've got a crazy weekend ahead of us. Of course, I say this and I will stay up until midnight like I've been doing for the past week. One of these days I'm going to crash. And it's not going to be pretty.
