I’ve got nothing

It’s one of those days, well evenings, where I don’t have alot on my mind.  Well actually I do have alot on my mind, just not much that’s blog worthy. Thus begins the inside struggle of whether or not to blog, should I just post some pictures and why do I blog anyway?  Then I remember I blog because I want to look back someday and remember our life. Granted I’ll probably look back on our life as I read this blog and think my life was pretty crazy but it’s still my life and I love it.

So now that I’ve wasted 2 minutes of your time with that lengthy introduction here’s a completely random post about completely useless information.

~At what point do you walk into the doctor’s office and say, “I’M DYING!”. Probably never, huh. Well for awhile now (a few months I guess) I’ve been having sharp pains all over. My head and neck mostly but also in my right breast (sorry I said the b word). It’s like knife sharp pain. Sometimes it lasts a few seconds and it’s gone. Sometimes like tonight it lasts for over an hour. I think it’s my body trying to tell me to STOP WITH EATING ALL THE FOOD ALREADY! I did go to the doctor last month and he said since the pain was random and not in one spot it was nothing. So there ya go.

~I tried to watch Dancing with the Stars tonight but when I turned it on Buzz Aldrin (was that his name?) was dancing and that was just silly. I went to finish the dishes and when I got back Pamela Anderson was dancing and I threw up a little in my mouth and decided I was better off not watching.

~I found the movie Julie and Julie on sale for $7.99. I love that movie. Any movie about a blog and food has got to be good, right?

~Tonight Michael Buble was on David Letterman and I decided that I love him alot.  Well his music anyway.

~Pat has started DVR’ing Justified, a new series on FX. It’s about guys that kill people. Or something like that. It’s kind of a western and so he’s started talking like he’s in a western film. He’ll say to Caleb, “I’m gonna take you out behind the woodshed, boy.” And then Caleb will giggle.  And he’ll say to Angel, “I’m gonna break you.” And Angel will say, “You’ll never break me!” in her own western accent.  Man, I love those kids. And my hubs too. And using the word and to start a sentence.

~I made an awesome pasta salad last night. I cooked up some tiny little pasta that I can’t remember the name of. And then chopped some veggies: tomato, red pepper, cucumber, asparagus (boiled 2 minutes and then blanched), onion and radish. I then added salt and pepper, oil and red vinegar. It was yummy good.

~I really want to have another baby. (I can’t actually have a baby but can adopt and to me it’s the same thing).  Pat isn’t 100% against it. More like 99.9% against it. Thankfully God can work with .01%.

~Our Pastor’s sermon this Sunday was awesome. You can listen to it here. It was convicting for me that I often use my crazy busy life as an excuse not to be used of God.

~And with that it’s bedtime. God can’t use me if I’m too tired to even think straight!

Buh bye

I’m taking a bloggy break. Just thought I’d let all of my four readers know.

But not before sharing this…

Practically every pair of socks I own have a hole in them. That’s really annoying especially when the shoes I wear don’t have backs and we have two feet of snow. What’s even more annoying is that I’m too lazy to just go to the store and buy a few new pairs.

Can’t you tell it’s time for a break?

See ya when I see ya.

Not airing out my dirty laundry

The other day I mentioned how I used to think I was a laundry failure. Then a few months ago was enlightened and now I know I’m just a normal person. Well at least as far as laundry goes.

And because I obviously need to get a life or something I’ve been thinking more lately about my laundry. And I have a confession to make.

I wear something just once and then it goes in the laundry.

I KNOW!

Along with all the other problems in my life, I’m going to blame this one on my Hubby. I’m pretty sure that before we got married I would for sure wear pants at least twice, maybe three times. Not sure about shirts. But when I met him I discovered that he would wear something and it would go in the laundry that night. To be honest even it it was worn only half a day – not sure when that would happen but I’m trying to make a point – it would go in the laundry.

For some reason I changed my launderin’ ways and now I put my clothes in the laundry after wearing them only once.

While I was thinking about all this I started thinking that I would like to know if I really am a laundry freak (as opposed to just a freak) or if I’m a normal laundry person. I suppose there’s not really a “normal” when it comes to laundry. You just do what you do and that’s that.

But I still want to know. So please fill out this poll. You don’t get anything other than the satisfaction of knowing you’ve satisfied my…. well, sorry, I guess you really don’t get anything. But do it anyway. Please. Ok, thanks.

(And if you’re reading this on Facebook you might have to go to my actual blog to do the poll. I’m not sure.)

I’m off to think some more about really important things. Or not.

SQUIRRELS! SQUIRRELS!

It seems my life has come to a devastating and tragic end. For the past 3 days, since I caught a glimpse of Pat’s favorite TV show (Phineus and Ferb), this song has been running through my head. It can not be proven that I’ve actually been singing the song out loud to my children.

Kudos to you if you’re able to watch this and not spontaneously shout “SQUIRRELS! SQUIRRELS!”

The one where Princess steals the Gilmore Girls

We’ve had alot going on the past few days. Yet not really enough that would make for interesting blog material. But too bad for you I’m going to tell you about it anyway! Y’all know that the babies spent a few days with my parents last week. They were suppose to come home on Friday but we decided last minute to drive to my parent’s house and spent a day.

It was really nice driving there – a 2 hour drive that is usually torture. But this trip it was just me and Pat and we actually talked almost the whole trip. I KNOW! Normally we have 2 babies, one of whom talks non-stop and we also usually listen to a book on tape anytime we travel. But this time we didn’t have babies or a book on tape. And it was nice.

It was so great to see our babies. Angel came running out of the house saying, “MOMMY DADDY MOMMY DADDY MOMMY DADDY!” Sweet. We had a nice time at my parents just hanging out. Spent some time on the boat. Spent some time with my sister, brother and sister-in-law.  On Saturday there was a big event for kids with games and bouncy inflatables and lots of fun stuff. We went swimming and then Angel bounced in the big inflatable thing. She was so brave. There was this one little turd of a boy jumping really hard right next to her – and I’m pretty sure he was doing it on purpose trying to make her fly – but she just kept right on bouncing (and falling) and didn’t let it phase her one bit!

We were home Saturday by about 5:00 pm. I don’t think we did much Saturday night other than laundry, clean and play with kiddos. Princess got home at around 9:30 pm. She had been at camp for the past week and it was wonderful to see her and hear about her week. She leaves for college in less than 2 weeks and she’s stressed out about what or what not to bring. I can’t imagine consolidating two rooms/houses into one teeny tiny dorm room. So although I do encourage her to not worry, she can bring stuff later or we can take stuff home for her, I honestly can’t imagine how difficult it must be to decide what to bring.

One thing that she has already decided to bring is our dvd set of the entire Gilmore Girls series. I guess she didn’t decide. She asked if she could take it and although I was reluctant I said yes. I’m not sure how I’m going to function when I’m tired or don’t feel well or having a bad day or just want to watch some good cheesy tv. Because in all those situations it’s always the Gilmore Girls that I pull out.  So not only is Princess leaving us but she’s leaving us with the Gilmore Girls packed in her bag – could it be any worse? I suppose it could be worse if she was going to college in India or the Antarctica instead of 4 hours away in Minneapolis. But come on, let me have my pity party.

Well anyway we spent most of the evening on Sunday relaxing as Princess packed and went through stuff. Hubby was a cleaning maniac this weekend. He did ALL the laundry – and there was alot of it – plus he cleaned alot too. We have had a house showing every single day the past week. Although that’s very wonderful it’s also very exhausting having to have the house spotless practically every second of every day. I am thankful though because we’ve certainly developed some good habits – liking actually cleaning up after ourselves instead of waiting for the cleaning fairies to come take care of it. And it’s provided some good teaching moments for Angel on putting her toys away – and alot of temper tantrums too. Those haven’t been so good.

It is now late Tuesday night and I think I’ve been working on this post since Saturday. And it’s kinda funny because when I started it I had all this great stuff to talk about but now I’m not so sure what all that great stuff was. So unfortunately (or maybe not) we’re going to come to an ubrupt end. I have so many pictures to show you and so many other good things to talk about. Maybe some day.
