I love-a da Larlen.

My BFF/ son's godmother/ cousin's future wife/ Lauren is gone. In FL, for a month.

Hmm. Selfish, I know, but I have no one to shop, drink smoothies and cream soda, and get giddy about Hanson with.

Our whole schedule is off. Zeke walks around saying, :I love a da Larlen, where'd Larlen go?" I mope, wishing for a girls night of Ben and Jerry's PHISH Food and some kind of Brad Pitt movie.. preferably Fight Club.

And so, we have realized- we including myself, my son, my husband and my cousin (Zeke's godfather)- Lauren balances everything. She chills, she listens, she makes us laugh. She's that one person in the group people take for granted, she's our buffer. Our comfy "hey let's hang out and drink wine coolers!" nerd.

I even found an email exchange between her and my hubby the other day:

Nick : "We miss you. PS- I'm glad you don't hate me anymore. Christina needs someone to remind her how much I love her."

Lauren: "I miss you guys too. And I'm glad you aren't a doucheb@g anymore!"

Priceless.

My only salvation is our planned girls night for the night she gets back in MD... oh, and that Hanson concert we're going to in October :)

So. This past week Zeke got a broken nose. From my two year old niece. She kicked a cup into his nose. On purpose. And she laughed about it.

And he looks like a little raccoon with his two black eyes and purple bruise across the bridge of his nose.

Oh. man.

It's been eons.

I have not posted in forever. Well, more like four months, but still, that's a long time! So, in four months, what's happened?

I work at Lowes, CSA, and it's nuts. I know nothing about hardware and tools, but luckily I don't have to. I just push papers, handle customer complaints, and smile,... oh, and answer the phone.

Zeke is now 2 years old. And talking, and getting into everything.. it's almost as if on his second birthday he said to himself I'm two now, let's do bad things! Other than the everyday hissy fit, screaming in restaurants and thinking all toys belong to him, he's still a good kid.

I pretty much have a second child, Brooke. My brother-in-law (currently in jail)'s baby momma doesn't care for my neice properly... and doesn't care. So, Nick and I take her as much as possible. She is 2 as well, as of June... however, Ezekiel is like twice her size. And her favorite (and only) phrase is "I wannnnnt that!" Otherwise, she just kinda stares. Hopefuly we can socialize her better. She's come a long way already.

And, as boring as that is, that's about it. I start more classes soon, and I'm super busy like 24/7. BUt I'll blog once more, I promise.
