The mystery leak.... we have a leaking toilet.
At first Mikey says, 'No it's not a leak the girls spilled water'.
I go back two hours later, and there is lots of water.
I call Mikey, 'Hey Mikey, we have a problem."
Mikey comes in looks at the water, looks at the toilet, evaluates the situation and walks off to get his wrench.
The entire time I am thinking 'Oh My God he is going to break the toilet"
What the hell!?!
He fixed it.
He surprises me yet again.

The New World Order has arrived in my house/life.
My oldest daughter, just kicked me out of the bathroom to take a shower, AND she brought her own CD, Bare Naked Ladies, to 'pop' in the CD player.
Here I am ... half done....I am Be-Funked!?! Dressed and moisturized, waiting to dry my hair and put on my paint.
The future is looking bleak for this 1 3/4 bath house. THE FUTURE IS NOW.
I guess she is done because she turned the water off by herself.
Tomorrow..... what will it be? She already pierced her ears.
Just when I thought I had it down, I get cross checked. It NEVER occured to me that this would happen TODAY..oh my gad, she is only 6.
Got to go.....
and get her out, who the hell knows what she is getting into. More than likely it's my STUFF!!!

Going to the beach with my kids is the funniest thing I have ever done. I love it, even though my car is full of sand. We went to Venice Beach about 50 feet south of the Venice Pier. Which, by the way, has consistently been getting an A+ rating in water quality. When I went to the beach before I had kids, I always looked for the quiet, furthest point away from the crowd. Now I am aligning myself with the life guard station. I WANT to be in the crowd. As a matter of fact, I am the crowd. Me and my kids are a roving party. I am the designated pack mule unless Mikey has come along, then by sheer gender he becomes the hauler. We come with only the necessities, towels, digging toys, swimsuits, extra clothes and a sheet to lay down on. Yesterday, however I added two folding chairs and they worked out great!! It's amazing to see the kids in the water. It's freezing cold water, cold ocean breeze and late summer sun, a delicious combination. They played in the sand by the surfs edge, every now and again getting tipped over by the unexpected wave. It was cracking me up !!!! It was a slice of pie to go see Mikey and my old apartment. The Enchanted El Dorado, at 30 Westminster Ave. It was a whole lifetime ago. My Aunt Elsie, sent me some pictures of Mikey and me when his granny was still alive, maybe 6 years ago. I looked great, young, thin and with out the ravages of kids. Then I took it further, and thought is there anyway I could ever look like that again AND should I even want to look like that again. Is my ideal physical looking self was when I was 29/30? Don't flame me about aging, this is my blog. All this is leading up to WHY is the beauty of youth wasted on the young. Or rather, why does the media insist on shovelling young girls down our advertising throat as some kind of cure for aging. There is no cure to aging because aging is not an infliction. I can say I would have plastic surgery if I could, but the deep issue being why the hell should I? Isn't that reinforcing the wicked message to my girls ? If I want them to have true inner beauty, they have to accept themselves as they are. Which means I have to, too. But I would love to have some nice, new, firm breasts......oh my god I am such a hypocrite!!!

The skinny on the wonderful party Mikey and went to at the Odyssey Restaurant in the Valley. It was beautiful to watch the sunset with the lights of the valley spread out in front of us. The only thing I never thought I would encounter is being "THE BOSSES WIFE". I have been many things in my life, "THE BOSSES WIFE" is something I would never have thought about. All the nice chit chat and pleasantries, was it me or be nice to "THE BOSSES WIFE"? Weird. Again some background, if you don't know me. I am married to a VP of a major corporation,.... ok Disney. I never thought Mikey would be a corporate guy and me a corporate soccer mom. When my life is put into those terms, it's enough to question my sanity. I thought I would ALWAYS be the outside artist girl who wore a lot of black. A small secret between you and me, I almost tried on a ...... pink oxford shirt...... I think the lapse of judgement was caused by my period.
