My Peeps on the Rocks

Ricardo - he's a lova not a fighta. He'll put up and make you shut up. He's my man. My husband. My rock. And in a menial effort to protect his anonymity, I've given him the name. Because really, I HEART RICARDO!

Lucy & Max - Just the two cutest peeps ever. The suckers who make it all possible for me to be a mom. Thank them later for all this awesome "research" and purpose of this blog. We also refer to them as the Investment Plan. They'll go pro at something. I just know it.

Julz(HOLLA!) - My online girlfriend. You wanna make something of it? I met her online, consider if you will - an online dating service for mommies to meet. Someone did just that, and we've been BFF ever since. Ricardo refers to her as "Your Girlfriend". We have nothing to hide.

Yallison - dear friend who loves purple. Purple people are a bit odd, but I'm okay with that. I've known her since jr.high, where we mastered the point-guard-to-post-lob-pass. I'm fairly certain we still hold the record there, and if not, we hold some kind of record of greatness. I'm sure of it. She's 1/3 of our three musketeers, ya-ya-ness, and other great friendships.

Flygirl - the other 1/3. Dear friend I've known since high school. Yallison, Flygirl and I have been in each others weddings, greeted each other's children with baby showers, and get together atleast once a year for the annual greatness conference. Flygirl recently passed away. She had brain cancer. I'm against it.

Farley the Wonderdog - he's our other baby. He's half black lab, half American Quarter Horse, half human. The dog loves food and Ricardo. The kids are okay, but the root of his depression and lack of attention from Mom and Dad. He is 10 years old, weighs 115 pounds, moos like a cow, and can reach anything in the pantry up to six feet high. Some days, it's like having triplets.
