La Vie en Curlsz Part One

Time is flying by at a speed I am having a hard time keeping up with. The other day my sister and I were discussing surrogacy, she has a friend that was one for two families.

My 11 year old niece has always been the ears of the family, she listens to everything we say! So of course ears over there pipes in with "what's a surrogate?"

Uhhhh - and for some odd reason I start answering?!! Then I realize shoot what if this isn't an ok discussion - you know how parents are... So I look over to Julie with this question mark on my face and she says it's fine Ave knows where babies come from. Ok but in my mind I am now questioning the terminology for things. I'm not sure what words they use (sperm and egg, or are we talking flower and pollen lingo here) so the conversation proceeds into something like this.

Well it's when you take a woman's egg and a man's sp..sp..sp... (uh oh panic moment why can't I say sperm?)

sp..sp...sp... the man's seed (oh yea seed is MUCH better, now I've thoroughly confused her) and you put it, well you place it, uh.... (geeze what am I doing here, she's going to ask how they get it in the other woman, I'm crashing and burning)

It's like baking your cookies in an oven - except your oven doesn't work so you use someone elses oven.

She actually got it - my face was beat red, it was hotter than Hades in there - and when I looked over, Julie was hiding the biggest grin in the world behind the laptop - jerk!

I'm not ready for teenagers.

Wow what a self absorbed aunt am I - notice I did not say horrible aunt cause really I rock! So Here is a couple of pic's from Ty's second birthday (back in June) - since I have neither pet nor baby (which can often be mistaken for the same thing) to show you 30 pics all of relatively the same thing, over and over.

Just a note on kids birthdays: really you should take acid before going or at least smoke a phat one. Because if your single you are screaming in your head "I will never have one of these small beings if this is what I have to sign up for", and if your married your thinking "when we have children we are not letting them have more than 3 friends for fear this will happen"and if your a parent your thinking "where's the cake already, this is the 8th one of these this month".

I honestly have no idea how many children were there - it seemed like 50 - one was a party all unto himself. He insisted on being the center of it all - you know there is always that kid at the party, I fondly call them Satan's spawn - and Satan's spawn has parents that are utterly oblivious and think isn't our spawn the cutest spawn ever, see how he's in everyone's face yelling and throwing presents into the lap of the birthday boy 2 at a time - awwww... but other than spawn it was a rockin good time and how cute is this little cake eater!!
