Dear God,

I don't ask for much. Whenever I pray, all I ask for is the health and safety of my family. Tonight, I ask for a much bigger favor.

Please.

I beg of you.



For the love of all that is holy, Let. The. Cubs. Win. I really don't think I can live in this house, with the boys I live with, if you don't give me this one favor this year. Seriously. Todd was reading me an article about 4 generations of Cubs fans and we both got so verklempt it was a little pathetic. And Wyatt. That precious boy is too young to have his heart broken.

So, if you could just give all Cubs fans around the world this one little favor this year, I would greatly appreciate it.

Kthnxbye.

An Entry for Uncle J.J...

Two years ago, Santa brought a huge Lego set that makes both an aircraft carrier and a destroyer. 1200 freaking pieces. I don't know what the fat man in the red suit was thinking because it sat in our crawl space for forever while the boys forgot about it. Until two weeks ago when they found it and begged daddy to "help" put it together which translates to doing it all himself since Wyatt nor Henry have the patience for Lego's. Seriously, aren't all little boys supposed to love those things? Mine like them as long as they are cooperating but the minute they run into trouble...tears because of frustration. I am hoping it is something they will grow out of. Or maybe not...then I won't be stepping on the little pieces anymore.

Anyways, the above picture is the monstrosity that the boys put together. They are so very proud.
