Monday night we had a brownie cake for Kidlet over at SBH & Kdawg’s house and yesterday I took Kidlet to a local museum for her 11th birthday. We had fun there for hours and also hit up the park next door that even has a mini spray park. She went home with my Mom since I had to work lastnight and today Mom’s boyfriend dropped her off this morning.

We took the bus down to the main public library and got here at oh 10am. It is now after 1:30 and we are still here. Kidlet got some books & surfed the net on her ipod, I’ve been surfing the net and working on getting my collective up & running.

Wow, today you are 11 years old .. where has the time gone? Wasn’t it just yesterday you were learning to talk *sigh*. The past year has kind of been a crazy one with us moving & all of your after school stuff. So I will highlight some of the past year.

* Had a HUGE birthday party luau.
* Moved into our first apartment.
* Got your amazing real wood clarinet for Christmas.
* Started to read the Twilight series.
* Got your first slider cellphone.
* Broke your first slider cellphone.
* Made a kick ass birthday card for Uncle Giant (SBD)
* Enjoyed a baseball game with your class.
* The 5th grade.

I know there is more but those are the first ones that stand out. Just remember this year (Which I shall dub the year of the PMS) when your crazy hormonal that I love you … it might seem like I’m a crazy wicked bitch but, I’m really not.
