I think I'm overtired... Everything today has been pissing me off so bad. People at work, Arron, people at the gym, my lunch... I mean, what can my lunch do to piss me off. I dunno, but it managed too. I'm in need of a weekend of sleep! I'm also in need of all the dipshits I work with to get fired. That'd be great...
Enough bitching for one day...

Melting Mama's heart...
I've always loved music. I can remember loving New Kids on The Block so much, that I had everything from bed sheets, to 4x5 posters on my wall, shirts, dolls, sleeping bag, lunch box. You name it, I had it.
So, it wasn't a shock when I got older and became what's the word... I won't say obsessed, because that's rather stalkerish, how about, fell in love with the music and looks of the Backstreet Boys. This was about 10 years ago. In that 10 year span, I've gone to 5 (6 this Saturday) concerts, paid $250 to go to NYC to meet on of them (the money went to charity!) had my walls & ceiling covered in posters. I litterally mean covered - from ceiling to floor. Had countless CD's, memorabilia. You name it - I've been a devoted fan.
My dream has been that one day, at least one of my children would show an interest in music and concerts. So I could share with her the enjoyment of traveling around New England, or the US for all I know, watching her favorite play. Ahhhh the feeling.
Emma has started a "love" for Taylor Swift. I love it. LOVE. IT. She knows her song lyrics, has a t-shirt that she'd wear everyday if I let her, and has told me that she's going to come over and play some day. Very cute.
Last night did it for me. We were going home and she says, TOTALLY out of the blue and randomly:
"Mom. Someday, I'm gonna go to a concert. BackSeeBoys. And I'm gonna dance and sing reeeeeally loud".
She then found a BSB poster that came with a CD I've had well over a year. She wanted it put in HER room, right over her bed. Does she know how to melt her mama's heart or what...

Sleep Deprived...
My girls sleep through the night - Amen to that. Em will have the occational sleep walking episode, but for the most part she sleep great. Problem is, she doesn't want to go to sleep at night!
She'll sit/lay in her bed for an hour at least! Singing, "reading", crying, kicking... you name it, she's doing it. She's obviously exhausted, but just won't give in! What gives child! Mommy & Daddy need sleep to!
When she is finally asleep, it's usually a race to see who can get in bed first. We're out like a light! Then comes 5-5:15... our alarm is set to go off at 5:30 (still way to early if you ask me!). Both kids are awake before our alarm. I. CAN. NOT. FUNCTIONTHISDAMNEARLY!!!! Ugh!
Why can't they sleep until, hm, lets say 6?! Is that too much to ask!? No! It's not... so girls, please listen to momma.. Sleep as much as possible... Please. For my health. And sanity.. SLEEP!
