What's the one thing you're most neurotic about?

Noise. I love quiet. I think I get this from my Grandma. She too hated noise and would constantly ask us to be quiet or make us go in the basement or outside so that she'd have some peace. I'm a constant shusher, which I know is irritating, but I can't help myself. I feel bad for my kids and the Tibbles, so I really try, but I start to feel like I'm suffocating and I need to ask them to quiet down. What's so ironic about the who quiet thing is the fact that I have a very loud voice so it's very difficult to be quiet myself.

Happy Birthday to Liam! He's 3 today. They are used to morning dance party with Jodi, so I've been trying to continue the tradition. Usually, Liam requests Snape, Snape. He's like Bananaphone too, but the ring, ring, ring guy is "too scary" for him. So to make my life easier, I'm posting the video here.

Share your favorite quote about music.

You've got the boomin' system
But it's blasting out doo-doo
You think it's chocolate milk
But it's watered down yoo-hoo
I've been through many times
In which I thought I might lose it
The only thing that saved me
Has always been music
We've got our own studio that's under the G
It's no question life's been good to me
'Cause life ain't nothing but a good groove
A good mix tape to put you in the right mood
This one goes out to my man the Groove Merchant
Coming through with beats
For which I've been searching

Beastie Boys – Professor Booty

Conversation with Nolie while bowling wii style.

Nolan: I love Batman.
Me: I know.
Nolan: I love my Batman hair (meaning his mii on the wii). Batman is a good guy. Batman doesn't have guns.
Me: That's good that he doesn't have guns. Auntie doesn't like guns.
Nolan: Batman is good. He puts the bad guys in jail. Batman showers when he is stinky.
Me: It's good to shower when you're stinky.
Nolan: Batman always showers when his stinky (making motions of washing his hair). Superman NEVER showers when he is stinky. Superman is stinky.

Then he goes on to beat me by 3 pins in bowling.

Luckily, I have the next 11 days off of work until I start full-time coverage for a person on maternity leave. Because today we got lucky at Target.

Hotrod posted a picture of his refrigerator which got me thinking, you can tell a lot about someone by what they have on their fridge. So, show me your fridge. And Jodi, no dirty cheating, by making your fridge look more hip or post-ironically hip.

I love March. Not only do I get to indulge in delicious Shamrock Shakes almost daily, but it's also the month that celebrates my profession. 

In support of social workers everywhere, please take a minute to ask your Representative to co-sponsor the Social Work Reinvestment Initiative to establish the Social Work Reinvestment Commission to provide independent counsel to Congress on policy issues associated with the recruitment, retention, research, and reinvestment in the profession of social work.
