Walk 2 Iraq...

The kids and I joined the "walk 2 Iraq" and we did our 100th mile today!

Now if only we really could walk and see Ben.

(the kids were so confused by the title...Pais kept asking "when will we see Dad")

We were supposed to do 100 miles by the end up April...

maybe I should get some new running shoes

 and go for another 100 miles before then. Maybe.

Somehow the kids and I have become the family that Marne TV follows for this...we have been on there 4 times now but I have yet to watch any of it...I hate my voice too much to hear it on tv.

Dad your services are needed!

I havent posted in forever...thats the story of my life with this blog and the RS one of course. Did ya miss me!?! Bummer I didnt think so.

BUUUUT let me catch you up a lil on life anyway. While my loverly parents were here for a visit...yes that was allllllll the way back in 2009 (December to be exact)  

(loverly parents)

They did this

Yup...correct DESTROYED the kids bathroom. In fact I worked the night before and when I woke up I saw that and

this

and this white dust covered the whole house

but then after a few days of hardwork, countless and I truly mean countless trips to Lowes my Dad managed to make it look like this

yes we are now void the nasty molded 1980s shower walls and broken faucets

and guess what!?!

It still looks just like that...well except now theres a shower curtain. Nope I havent even painted the walls around the shower.

Pais informed me just last night "mom...Im not going to shower in here anymore until you fix the paint!" That comment didnt motivate me...in fact it just made me pitty her lil friends at school bc Puff is gonna be smelly!!! Dad...please come finish what you started in the bathroom...dont you know the rules...you should always leave it better then how you found it!!!

ooh look! Heres the proof you started this job...now come finish!
