The Gollin Boys
A glimpse into my crazy head. Mostly this is about my boys, but venting about everyday events and the great things about being a professional career woman and mother while trying to successfully balance having it all. lol

Vacation Day
So I went into work for about four hours this morning and got a few minor things done. Then even though it was ishy outside I liberated Connor from daycare and we off to our home when the phone rang...it was "Auntie" asking if we wanted to hang out with her and Beetle Bug! and do some running around with them. Beetle Bug! is Eryn's new dog..a chihuahua mix and just the cutest thing, we went to the second vet visit with them and he was the best dog. Didn't even wimper when he got a shot and had his temp. taken. He is so good with Connor and as imagined Connor is now asking for a doggy of his own.
When I get us moved out to Andover and settled then we will get a dog but right now with School two nights a week and work full time I don't have much time to housetrain a puppy and a toddler. But soon I should be at Friends and only going to class only one night a week and life will be a bit easier and less crazy.
Today was great hanging out with Eryn and no fighting. I love her to death afterall we are sisters but indeed we are SISTERS! I know you get my drift and understand exactly what I am saying. But I am seeing a whole other motherly side to my little sister since she got Beetle Bug! It might be the closest I get to a Nephew is Beetle Bug! but I will take it and she already knows we can be counted on to doggy sit :)
So the plans for the Long and needed holiday weekend...Tonight go to sleep early since no naps today. :( Religious Services tomorrow morning and Sunday is the Martina McBride Concert (I haven't gone to a concert in forever) The last time I asked and really wanted to go to a concert was back in fifth grade and it was New Kids on the Block and my best friend and her sister got to go and my mom said no because of this and that..honestly I tuned her out after about five minutes of excuses. So I am really excited and will of course have my camera and will post pictures. Since my best friend got us tickets for the sixth row from the stage I am excited and have my cowboy boots and jeans with the rhinestone horseshoes on the ass pockets all washed and ready...eeeehawwwww :)

more pictures
Connor in Auntie's Big ass shoes...lol!
Well, mom is in the kitchen making Fried Chicken and Cutting watermelon to take to the park. Andover now has "Central Park" it is by the new Andover Central High and Middle Schools. Crazy really when I graduated almost ten years ago that whole area was nothing but a large Girl Scout Park...with a dirt road...Progress. But anyway the Entire Family including Eryn (my little Sister) is going out to the park for the afternoon. Really a beautiful day a bit windy but that is Kansas for you. I am sure I will have pictures to post of the event...lol...
Auntie and Connor Playing Soccer on Mother's day
Bubbe and Connor on Mother's day...Bubbe is yiddish for grandmother. Connor loves sitting in "Bubbe's Chair" to watch TV, along or with Bubbe doesn't bother him either way...he is always happy to share bubbe's chair with bubbe...lol

WOW real responsibilies
WOW...SO I just got out of a meeting and now I am feeling lightheaded. I have just assumed new responsiblities at work that are so important, crazy really. I have never had such responsiblities when it comes to work and how this is going to be my real career. How my life is really going somewhere and how I am really going to be able to give my son the best possible future, better than I thought in the last few months.
So no more jeans once again, now since there are going to be meetings and business travel in the near future. I never thought dreams came true, I never thought I deserved for my dreams to come true, but I must be doing something right to have this happening to me. Well I do need to eat lunch or I really will faint...lol
I even got a new grill last night so i am more excited to get home tonight and grill with Connor. Our first time and first grill. Maybe now I am a real grown up...lmao :)

Mother's day
What a day my second mother's day as a mother. Connor let me sleep in till Eight :) Then he was so good and wanted to watch Nemo and then the Increadables, so Mommy got to finish the book I have been trying to finish since school started. Kingsolver's Prodical Summer, it was good but you have to really like Kingsolver to like this book. So after cleaning house with Connor's help we went to my parents' house. Where we helped mom repot a huge plant and then when Eryn got home from the gym we played Soccer Ball with Cons. Eryn has a casting call deal for something and wanted me to take her because she didn't feel like driving. So Connor got to stay with Bubbe and Zadye for a while and loved every minute of it.
I will soon have photos of the day to post.
Over the weekend I had to work on Saturday it was so hard to do because it was so damn nice out and it is the river Fest. I didn't want to be in the office at all, but I put in a good number of hours and left. Spent the day with my best friend/sister Tina and we BBQed until it was time for me and Cons to go and babysit. Man does that family owe me some babysitting hours. I might actually get to go to the movies this summer. Yes being a mommy has made me the most uncool single person there is.
Well hope all those mothers out there had a great sunday! Even those in Greensberg, our prayers are with all of you who are trying to piece back together your lives and homes.

This is the week before finals and I don't need the anti-semetic biggot posting shit on my page but I have to leave it up until ADL anti-defemiation league has a chance to see what he has set to consitiantly post on my page when people look at it. I will legally make him pay for stalking me and my son and now this...I am not a person to mess with ask those who use to be my friends.
