{thought a little cute.......}

.....was in order after the scary pic of me yesterday.

holy hell.

even though i look like the walking dead lately, my beautiful daughter is getting cuter and cuter each day. here she is with her bff ashley....in john day at zac's baseball tourney last weekend.

ash and maddie hanging out in my bedroom

trying on bunny ears at the store in john day. i think it was the only store in town....these girls kept themselves pretty entertained.

you can barely tell.....but, it was snowing in john day. the girls could have cared less. they ran around in the snow and swam in bikinis. brrrr.....

ok....that's my cute tour.

i need to jump on board.

{this is how i feel}

madison put this on our computer today as our screen saver.

i was dying. i feel as bad as i look.

big dark circles {because i can never sleep}, double chin {because i have gained like 30 pounds this year....not even kidding}, pale {because i am too tired to care about make up}, and lots of grey hair {which you might or might not be able to see.....oh, and thin hair because my health is so crappy it's all falling out}.

i need an intervention and a break and a change and a lot of things.

quoting my best friend "fuckity fuck."

{happy st. patty's day}

alize's leprechaun catcher.
