I love you. I love that I can tell you anything and not be judged. I love that you have brought joy into my life. I love that I can look at the mundane things and turn them into a happy memory. I love that there are so many hip mommies and women out in cyberspace that I feel connected to. Thank you blog, for the memories. Here is my 100th post just for you.

By the way, #38 is SOOOO not true!
I loved your list...I even learned a few new things.
Happy Blogoversary!!
Girl - you and Alana are impressive. I wish I had it in me. To be honest, scared to death that I would get addicted and then get fired from my job for blogging more than working. Danger...Danger is going off in my head. So, for now I am living vicariously through you as you blog your way through life.

Happy bloggy-milestone!!! I am sitting here laughing out loud! What a great list....it's actually amazing to see all the things we have in common! *GRIN* Even random "off the wall cuz we're tired" comments to our kids. *GRIN*
I also love the way you rattled off a hundred and it didn't even seem like you struggled....when I did my hundred list, my number fifty or so was something along the lines of "I am having trouble thinking of 50 more things to say" Hahah!
Have a great day!

2. I loved teaching but don't miss it.
3.I will never ride with you.
