Greatful for the MAN

First off, it is Father's Day so Happy Father's Day!
It is Russell's first Father's Day and he gets to spend it doing two miserable things. For work he travels two weeks out of the month (crappy but the bills have to get paid.) So this being the first week he travels this month, he left this morning at 7:00 am.. after being up all night sick with the CRYPTO. I am not sure how his 5 hour plane ride will go seeing as when one has the CRYPTO one spends a lot of bonding time with the toilet. Even though his week appears to be at a horrible start, he still has an extremely positive attitude and allowed me to crack a few jokes here and there dealing with his new issue.
I just want him to know that I love him and am so great full that he does what he does so I can do what I do. I don't think I would handle leaving for a week at a time and not seeing Korbin very well. But he does and he does it because he love me and Korbin. He really is amazing and a much bigger person than I could ever be.

Stupid people are dumb

So at the pool I work we have started to enforce the double diaper rule (one reusable and one disposable swim diaper) for ALL children under 3 yrs. We have also started to clear the pool every few hours in hopes that people will be "smart" enough to take their children to the bathroom. We even have NO POOPING as one of our pool rules posted on several signs around the pool. All this is done with the high hopes that there will be no poop in the pool.

But our efforts are in vain because on almost a daily basis we have "accidents." And because of these so called "accidents" we have to close the pool for 8 hours. Now keep in mind this does make my guards really happy because they get to go home.. secretly it makes me happy because my pool is empty. It does not however make the public happy and I get to hear about it...in several choice words. As if it is my fault a random child used the pool as their toilet. :)

So to all those reading this -please don't poop in the pool........

MMM MMM OREO!

Korbin really loves food--and despite my best efforts I had to give in and let him try one of the finer things in life... an oreo.. Without any surprise he loved every min of it..including getting it all off in the bathtub. simple pleasures

Sucked In

So through several requests and the secret envy of those who already have one and the fact Korbin is passed out in his crib, I have given in and started my own blog. Hopefully I will not become addicted to it like I am to face book, although if I didn't work where I worked I don't think I would get on it as much - well who knows - we will see what happens:) So enjoy!
