I've crossed the line already - just days into motherhood. These photos are proof that I'm now the crazy cat lady. You know, the one who dresses them up in funny costumes (and blogs about them daily). Just so you know, these will not be their daily attire. I found them on the clearance isle of Target and just had to buy them for one photo (ok - maybe 10). You have to admit that they are cutie patudies.








I also found 4 of these on me today after a plant rescue in the woods. I hope I got them all off!!! I'm itching all over just thinking about it. The things you do for plants. Maybe I'm the crazy cat and plant lady???

Nice way to start the morning - coffee, muffin and neighborhood girls. This is a local jaunt in Smyrna which is really cool. The few times I've made it in, I wonder why I don't come over more often. It improves every time I go in. There was lots of good stories and updates around the table. Best wishes for the adopting moms and mom to be. We should do this more often.

New toy for the boys. You can see how all encompassing this is for them. It's fun to see their little heads go left, then right, then up and down in unison as you move the light. This is going to be my lazy mother playtime (like those Einstein movies for babies). Sit, sip, relax, point and watch them go. And lastly, laugh!!

I heard about this place on a PBS special highlighting Atlanta hole in the wall eating joints (or as Daddy Z says joynts). Nick is supposed to be a lot like the Soup Nazi seen in Seinfeld. I would have to say he is a little gruff but maybe not as dictatorish as the Nazi. The show suggested the lasagna, which is only served on Thursdays, but the awaiting customers gave mixed reviews on it. So I decided to go with the old faithful - gyro. The owners came from Greece and began cooking "American" hot wings, hamburgers and hot dogs. They learned English from their customers and have run the establishment with only their family. Eventually they changed the menu to their traditional Greek meals. I'll be back.

Warning - bring a breath mint for the rest of the day. Oh - and we also were told (and witnessed) that Nick likes it when you cuss at him.

Good Hair Day.... Bad Hair Day? A good giggle.

Just like the old days of grab bags (one of my faves), I picked up my first Garden Bucket. These are delivered each Tuesday to work and are filled with a mix of fresh seasonal fruits and veggies. This week - lettuce, peaches, apples, corn banannas, avacado.....Now I need to learn to make guacamole. Who knows, maybe I'll finally become a cook.

Trying to give my little guys some independence, I let them have free range of the house while I toured the gardens yesterday. I returned home to find a limping little guy - gimpy. I was surprised at how quickly my motherly panic kicked in. After being consoled by the emergency vet nurse and Nancy, I babied my babied all night and planned to take him to the vet today. Well to my astonishment, someone appeared healthy when I returned home early from work. Suspiciously like the kid who's too sick for school but feels much better when it's time to see the doctor. I only hope this trend of improvement continues.
