When I think about it. With a *childrens~benadryl~free~mind. As much as Amish. People. Rock. I think I’d rather just be thier neighbor.
I love the simplicity of thier lives. I love that everything they do surrounds thier faith. Ya know what I mean? They are diligent. They are focused. They totally *stand together.
And, how often have you heard about someone actively practicing Amish~ness, going on a mad~bonanza~style~killing~spree? (Did they have those on bonanza? Shoot outs? Maybe? It was a western. Wasn’t it?) Don’t you think they’d make awesome neighbors?
AND. As neighbors, I get the added bonus of keeping all~of~the~totally cool~stuff~that~I~really~don’t~need~but~totally~take~for~granted.
Like a washer & dryer.
My truck.
*Store bought milk.
Spray & Wash.
laptops.
Aeropostle.
PBS.
*No More Tangles.
Magic Erasers.
Fruit Snacks.
Cell phones.
I know. That is a sorry list. That’s why I stopped. Did ya notice I used the word totally 2′ice in one sentence? I totally did. You want to know what’s even sadder?? I noticed before I even hit post. I just didn’t feel like changing it.
Did I mention I’ve moved on to nyquil?
Last night that stuff knocked me out cold. For like 13 hours. And I was still absolutely exhausted all day today.
It’s been a while. A long long time really. But if I remember correctly this is pretty much what a hangover feels like. Can I tell you how thankful I am that my body has a natural aversion to alcohol? Not so much because I think that all forms of it are the epitome of evil. More because of the mack truck it parked on top of my head. I would ask the driver to back up but I can’t see him in the haze of nyquility.
For that matter. I am pretty much going to end this nonsense ‘on accout of the fact’ that I’m seeing 2 of you. 15 points to the 1st person who can name that movie. Or tv show. I know it came from somewhere. Okay. 30 points on account of the fact that I can’t remember where it came from.
Edited to add: Could’a swore I hit post last night.
- Amish neighbors are awesome. They bring super yummy baked goods and fresh veggies…because that is the neighborly thing to do ;0)
- Wow, I hope you feel better soon before you have to move on to some hard core medicine like codeine. Get as much rest as you can girlie. So I like the idea of living among the peaceful Amish while still enjoying our lovely modern conveniences. And let me just say thank you. Now I’ve got that quote in my mind and I can almost see it from wherever it’s from, it’s on the tip of my tongue er brain. I’m sure its one of those things that I will remember when I wake up randomly at two in the morning or while taking a shower or something else that has nothing to do with any of it. I’ll come back & let you know what it is if I think of it. I already tried to do a search on it with no luck.
- Tombstone. It’s in Tombstone, at the end, where Doc…Val Kelmer….is told that he’s probably seeing double…”I have two guns….One for each of ya.” I LOVE that movie…but it was one of the ones that Will and I were convicted to get rid of because of the carnality of its nature. However, we have practically the whole things memorized, and use the lines quite often. “I’m yer Huckleberry.”
Catch ya later girlie. - I grew up in Amish Country~Lancaster, PA. I wanted to become Amish at one time (no lie) but my husband thought I was crazy. If you want a good read try Beverly Lewis book series. She writes about the Amish plus it’s very engaging! Hope you feel better soon
- This post made me feel like I’ve been chugging a bunch of Nyquil myself.
- wow you sounds pretty funny inside-out. Hope you are feeling better now.
- Rest? What’s that? I need a definition Rebecca. lol.
You’re welcome, by the way. Anything I can do to bring sunshine (or lame movie lines) to brighten up your life.I was thinking Leave it to Beaver. Shows how much I know.SO GO GO GO! 30 points to Charity. You are DA BOMB.
You crack me up! And I just love ya girlie!I did mention that the points don’t actually GO towards anything right?
LittleMissy~ I LOVE having people bring me yummy baked goods & fresh vegetables. Not that anyone ever actually HAS…but I would SO make a good Amish neighbor
Tegdirb92~ Thank you. I will definently check out that series soon.
FTN~ I’m going to take that as a compliment;) That means that I am SO engaging that I can draw my readers right into my little drug~filled mind.
Aaaand if it wasn’t a compliment then I’m still going to pretend it was because…
that’s just what I want to do dang it!& Thank you very much Lyndon Maxwell
Do you remember Romper Room? Sometimes it seems as if I’m in an episode of, like, Romper Room Gone Wild or something. Do you ever feel like that? Maybe it’s just me.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we had that Average~2.5 kids~2 income~house in the suburbs with a picket fence and a dog that doesn’t… relieve itself on the hardwood floors~American Dream kind of life.
Would I have *perfect hair? And manicured nails? Oooohhhh, I would definently pay someone ELSE to spray all of that SHOUT on the stains in the laundry. (SHOUT really works ya know. Just in case you were wondering. That is why you come here.. isn’t it? For all of the great laundry tips:)
Sometimes, I use an entire bottle of SHOUT on 1 load of laundry. Fascinating right? I know, that’s why I’m telling you. You don’t have to thank me.
We don’t, by the way. Have that life that is. Not even a little bit on a good day. Double the kids. Split the income in half. The dog, well… we gave up on pets when a~certain~little~girl~who~was~3 (but is no longer) decided to try and help her cute little pet chickie escape from the cage. According to her, little chickie stuck his head out of the bars and asked her to help him out. By his head unfortunately. It wasn’t pretty. Yes, we were all scarred, but we try not to think about it. Don’t worry. After 3 yrs of therapy we can now eat chicken again.
My hair… is not quite perfect. Okay it’s nowhere near perfect, but if it makes you feel better to think that it might be close, then go right ahead! It surely does make me feel better:) But I’ll be honest and admit that my most used hair accessories include a scrunchee (the fact that if a scrunchee isn’t available a pencil can also be used is just more proof that I keep up with all of the latest fashions from Vogue. ) OH and there’s this AWESOME hair product I use. If you’ve never tried it then you’re definently missing out. It’s called D.R.O.O.L. Made from pure baby slobber. Great stuff. Really.
But then I remember that in order to have that life I would have to give up 2.5 of my children. How could I make my child go through life with only half of thier body? And which half would I choose? The right, the left. The top, the bottom.
The truth is, as CRAAAZZYYYY as they make me sometimes, I couldn’t really give any of them up. Even for that oh~so~wanted laundry person.

Can ya blame me???
Enjoy yours tonight!
- I LOVE IT!! Makes me want to go have another baby right now, okay maybe not exactly right now but again. I just recently discovered stain remover, well the benefit of actually using them anyway. Can’t remember which one I bought though. Oh and if you did have to choose a half I hope you would choose the top because legs just walking around would be a little creepy.
- P.S. I really like your new template – makes me want to change mine again but I’m not even gonna go there.
- ROFL i wasn’t going to change it but…it was a CHOCOLATE beach. I had to.
I think you’re right about the top half. No more DIAPERS wooohoooo.
I have a confession to make. To walk in my house, you would think that I’m a pretty clean and organized mom. That’s because I’m a FIRM BELIEVER in surface cleaning (shhh don’t tell my mother!) If the bathrooms are clean, the counters and tabletops are clear and the floor is picked up, it’s clean enough for me! I threw my perfectionism out the window about 4 sets of dirty hands and feet ago. And I can live happily with that.
But the laundry…the BANE of my very existence…that’s a completely different story. If you looked into my laundry closet you would probably NEVER speak to me again. I have this theory about laundry trying to take over and rule the world. You should hear it sometime. Or maybe not.
I am SO waiting for some wonderful genius woman to invent *disposable clothes. That would be the most wonderful thing EVER.
We have ALOT of laundry, as you can probably imagine. I think the baby is actually the cleanest little person in our house. How sad is that? Or maybe it’s my oldest son. This boy, will take a shower and try to put on the SAME DIRTY BOXERS that he just took off! I have actually had to start doing a daily boxer check on a 9 yr old! What is UP with THAT??
My girlies ~ the self proclaimed princesses ~ they LOVE to wear pretty dresses. I don’t know where this fascination came from. It’s a lucky day for My Love if he comes home to find me in jeans instead of pajamas. Fear not, he is very aware how HOT pajamas are. You don’t need to tell him. Truly. He knows. I love pajamas. I will seriously take a shower only to put on MORE PAJAMAS. But they insist on wearing ‘princessy (YA that’s a word ’cause i just made it a word) clothes and if they get even one teeeeeny tiiiiny spot on it they MUST immediatly be regarbed in proper princess wear.
My toddler *the moose, is just a MESS. He somehow manages to get dirty no matter WHAT we are doing. Every Sunday I have to explain to the girls in Tiny Tots that YES he WAS clean when we put him in the truck and NO I have no clue HOW he got so filthy in the carseat. This child here, he is the only child I know who can actually get dirty IN THE BATH TUB. So, when I can manage to keep clothes on him, they are only clean for roughly…2 minutes. Really. I’m not exaggerating. Not even a little bit.
But I digress. I’m just procrastinating so that you won’t see what a terrible ’sahm’ i am.
I don’t have alot of time to mess with the laundry. Ok really, that’s just a different way to say that I procrastinate when it comes to laundry too. I wait and wait and let it pile and pile until it literally eyeballs me from the closet, which by this time is open because the laundry is finding it’s way out the door, and practically BEGGING me to just WASH IT! And finally I will. And that’s when the CLEAN laundry takes over my bedroom. And Bathroom. And wherever else it will fit.
But hey, the floor is clean enough to eat off of, which is a good thing because Chloee oee oee has a particular fondness for hiding cheerios under the furniture…just in case she gets hungry later.
- Haha, that is too funny. I understand the dislike of laundry though my most dreaded sahm ‘duty’ is grocery shopping. We had those same taunting piles of laundry with all the kids at my house and now with my two and all hubby’s uniforms…anyway, this is your blog and not mine. Happy laundry time
- hmmm… i don’t mind grocery shopping so much. Unless I have the zoo woth me. Shopping with monkeys is definently not something I recommend.
- Oh my!!! I understand completely and feeeeel your pain!!!
I needed a good laugh tonight! Thanks for sharing!!!

They said WHAT?
