I am beyond devastated. There will never be another like him. He was half of my heart and soul.  

There is a stillness in our home that was never there before.  A void. A vacuum. 

My sweet Spawn II.  No more surprise visits to me at work to bring me a milkshake. No more Georgia Bulldogs ringtone on my cell announcing your calls. No more impromptu EZE crumpin or crazy, random raps.  No more thrice weekly visits to San Marcos for steak quesadillas and cheese dip and visits to Jose’, your hermano.   

To me you personified this proverb:  When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.   

The world….YOUR world….is crying.

You are the best 16 year old a momma ever had…..

I am totally smitten with this child

Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen??  I can’t stop laughing.  I am thinking of trying ‘the look’ on Spawn 1 and Spawn II.

Best PMS Question Ever

Q: How many women with PMS does it take to change a light bulb? Woman’s Answer: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don’t even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn’t be able to find the #&%!* light bulbs despite the fact that they’ve been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP OR CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT’S A WONDER WE HAVEN’T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE! AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !! I’m sorry. What was the question?
