for me....& for Brie

I had the fish on my ankle fixed on Brianna's birthday. Several years ago I got 2 fish tattooed around my ankle. I have always wanted to finish it but the pain kept me at bay. I thought this year for her birthday this would be a great idea ~Brie had several tattoos and the last time I saw her she joked about me not finishing the work on my ankle.

The first side was done~ didn't hurt too bad

This is the second side~
Can you see Brianna's NAME in the fish??

The tattoo artist SHANE said the "R" was already there and her name fit perfectly. I think it was meant to be this way... Thanks to family that came with me and thanks to family who gave me TEXT support.

We talked about how Brie was prob laughing at me wrenching in pain~ it has been several days and it is healing nicely~ My teenager was super proud of his cool Mom honoring her sister in such a crazy fashion.

Halloween and Yo Gabba Gabba

Halloween was a success as you can tell.  Lyla was a princess ballerina.  Violet was a ghost, and Rory was a Strawberry.  I recycled the skeleton sweatshirt this Halloween, and the girls made a haul in the candy department.  On Friday, we took the girls to see Yo Gabba Gabba's live show.  It was awesome.  They got hugs from Muno and got balloons that they dropped from the ceiling. We got to see Biz Markie and SHEL perform. It was so much fun. Go see Ashling Cottage to see a pic of our newly purchased car!

made it through the night!!!!!!!

I finished my 1st all night shift 9pm-5am!

Sooo tonight's shift should be easier because I actually slept today~ Gregg is making me pancakes and eggs for dinner/ breakfast~(the boys are super excited)

The overnight shift was actually not that bad~ people were coming and going in the building all night~ the REALLY hard part was around 10-12 the normal time I go to bed~ once it turned 2am it was smooth sailing~ I have 2 more nights of this and hopefully ROBERT never takes another vacation again hahaha~
