What can you do when your mailman breaks your mailbox?
Thanks, Kamber for your comment, which made me realize
maybe a little background information is due here. :)
One day, after seeing the mail truck drive by the house, I went out to the mailbox to get the mail.
Only to notice our mailbox door hanging askew, like this:
I was all kinds of mad. After getting the mail out, I could see that the pin that usually kept
the broken side of the door hinged to the mailbox had just fallen out,
but was nowhere to be seen on the ground.
I had no idea what to do. I asked Reed about it later, thinking maybe he had noticed it earlier or
had possibly done it without telling me. He too seemed surprised when I told him the mailbox door
was broken. So, now I knew it was the mailman. Here now a week and a half-ish later,
I still have no idea what to do. Which is why I'm presenting this question for all the world to see.
Who is responsible for this problem? I want to fix it before the whole door breaks off because of
the alternate mailman who seems to care less about our broken door and always leaves it just
hanging there after putting our mail in the box whereas the guilty mailman always takes the time to
put the door back in place. Any ideas who should be responsible for this problem?

Pictures That Prove Yesterday Turned Out Okay After All
Pictures From Our Weekend
| Aftyn and Daddy, spending some quality time outside. Also notice our lush green grass that Reed has worked so hard at all summer. |
| Bronwyn and I had a fun birthday party to go to and in the end decided we would all go! |
| Aftyn used to do the same thing in this swing. Those fishies must be irresistible. |

Not The Kind of Thing I Normally Blog
I just read the greatest blog post by someone I don't even know. Know what the title was?
"I Am Flawed".
Awesome.
Where do I sign up because today has definitely been
that kind of a day so far.
Reed had to go to work WAY too early, and while
preparing for his early day
managed to wake up a cranky baby who woke up
the cranky mommy
who then had to listen to said baby cry for 2 hours.
(Off and on. Just when I thought I'd gotten her settled down,
she'd start up again. Ugh.)
Until that mommy stuck that baby
right where she needed to go all along. Into the baby swing.
And then both cranky
baby and mommy slept for an additional 3 hours.
Yes friends, I am flawed. I am not that perfect mommy/wife/sister/friend
that I would like to be
but the question is, are any of us? :)
On days like today when even my best doesn't seem
like its enough, its nice to remember that other people are
as imperfect and maybe even cranky
as I have been this morning. Even better to remember that your
little 2 year old who has had
to deal with your crankiness will forgive you as soon as you ask
AND as long as you give
her a hug, a smoochie and read her a few books. :)
*EDITED TO ADD* After telling Aftyn I was sorry, I said "Can I have a hug?" to
which she added "And a smoochie too?". Love this little girl so much.

Oh Well
The other night just as I was falling asleep,
I came up with a funny topic to blog about!

But in the morning, I had no idea what it was.
And now a few days later, I still can't remember what it was I felt was so funny.
Oh well.
Here are some pictures instead. :)
Crazy Hair Crazy Eyes
What is really going on in this picture that you can't see?
Aftyn is edging away from Bronwyn's grabby hands.
Even to take this picture I had to tell Aftyn to stop pulling away from Bronwyn
and to just lay still.
A picture just because
| What a big baby she is now! I love that she is goo-ing in the picture. |

Oh Ha Ni Look-Alike? Not Quite.
I know this post is totally random,
but it's mostly intended for my older sister.
Clearly after comparing the two,
I realize I need to loosen up her braid A LOT!
Except then I'm not sure it would stay in.
Oh well.
Oh Ha Ni's ever-changing hairstyles have given me
some fun ideas to try on Aftyn's hair. :)
(Oh Ha Ni is from a Korean soap opera I just finished watching last week, recommended by an older sister of mine.
You really don't want to know about it because it takes 16 hrs to get through the whole thing,
it's quite captivating and addicting and seriously?!
3 -4 days out of your life?!
You can thank me later for not divulging its name. :) )
