Sorry it has been so very very long……. Charlie and Emilio are in and Grey has taken that as a sign that he should never sleep again. Riv is on spring break (2 weeks) and we are taking this time to play and clean out the basement. Now on to something funny………… and maybe a little creepy………… but definitely funny…..

Vacation
So… we took the kids to the beach. The house was absolutely what we needed. It was adorable plus it had a hot tub which we got to go in once! All was well while Mr. Nakedmonkey was with me. We explored Bella Beach and it was beautiful…….teeny tiny pebble like sand for the Riverbug to play in but too much wind for the man child. River found a bunch of little shrimp like fish and a few shells for her growing collection. On day 2 we went to the OSU Marine Center thanks to a tip from my froggy friend. It was great! It is by donation to get in and they have a huge touch tank for the kids to explore and a few fish tanks that Grey found fascinating.
Day three and four were pretty trying Mr. NM had to go back to work and it was just us womenfolk (plus the wee man) Greyson on the other hand is teething. Toof has poked through and Toof 2 (electric bugaloo) is trying to kill us. Seriously, I came across it’s manifesto the other night. It is targeting my nipples and his father sanity at the same time! Sneaky bugger that toof.
I think I have the picture posting concept almost down and will soon post beachy fun pictures and pictures of what I have recently done to myself 
The times
We are off to the beach on Saturday!! I am super excited because leaving the ghetto sounds like heaven…….in a total atheist way. We will be staying here..jellyfish .
Last night I dreamt about sewing bibs for the man so i think today before I start packing I will work on that as well as figuring out the picture posting thing so I can brag all about my trip on here later. Also when I get back I am chopping off all these annoying curls. The grey man has decided that pulling them is just about the best thing in the world.
Thank you all for your sweet words….. I really wasn’t fishing…… I just always seem to get blue this time of year. Mr. Nakedmonkey and I were talking about why that is the other night and I think we figured that it is because this was the time of year that I was held at gunpoint for the first time and that is the sort of thing you just never shake.
Ok…. off to sew!
Move to the back
Do you ever feel like you are the last priority for everyone including yourself? I don’t know what is up lately but I am in a funk the past few days that the sun did nothing for today. We didn’t get to frolic in the much anticipated sun today for Miss R was sicky sick and that surely isn’t helping my funk. I need to feel special for a minute. I am going to force Mr. Nakedmonkey to compliment me…… more later.
Gift for punk rock girl.
So, for my eldest niece’s 16th birthday she asked me to make her a cd…….I racked my brain thinking of the perfect theme.
Punk? no, she listens to Insane Clown Possie for chrissakes
Good Rock n Roll? no, too broad
Rolling Stone’s top 500? no, too Rolling Stone-y
