What Happens to You...

It is almost 8 AM and Maddie is STILL sleeping.  This must be her belated Mother's Day gift to me.  I love greeting my daughter in the morning, but it's oh so much better if I can greet her AFTER I've had a shower and some coffee.

We got our new mattresss yesterday.  It's a latex mattress from Denver Mattress (if you're in the market, I highly recommend going there--we would have spent a thousand dollars more on a comparable brand name mattress).  When I woke up this morning, my back didn't hurt.  I was able to sleep on my sides, stomach and back comfortably.  What a difference!!!

Taos was very nice.  It was good to get away, especially to a smaller town where we could feasibly walk to several different places.  We explored a litle, relaxed a little, walked quite a bit, but alas, we saw no celebrities despite the local news claiming that NM is the "new Hollywood" and Taos is the center of it.  We did come across a few Kooky parents at the playground.  One Mom was discussing personal space with her three-year-old, and another Mom told her two-year-old she understood he was "feeling angry that another little boy has your bucket, but maybe we can talk to him and negotiate a solution".  She later commented that Maddie has "great verbal skills" for a 19 monther.  I was dying to tell her it was all the HBO we let her watch.  Instead I smiled and thanked her.

If anyone is looking for some great laughs, pick up a book by Laurie Notaro.  She has compiled four books of her columns--The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club, Autobiography of a Fat Bride, I love Everybody and Other Atrocious Lies, and We Thought You Would be Prettier.  Warning: you are at risk of peeing your pants or spitting a drink while reading these books.

I hear Maddie talking to Zoe II (a story for another entry) so I guess I should gulp down more coffee and prepare for the day.

  You're pretty funny yourself! Glad you had a nice time in Taos. Doesn't Julia Roberts live in NM now? Maybe that's why it's being considered the "new" Hollywood. :-) ---Robbie
