We’ve been good. A little chaotic but good.
It’s kinda ironic the way my life works. When I had plenty of time I had NO internet connection. Now that I have plenty of internet connection, i have NO time!
But I love you SO much that I made some time. Just for You!
We are officially moved and it has been crazy busy.
Of course we have been busy with other things too. Like getting ready for school to start next week. And I’m going to be gone ALL weekend. I am seriously SO excited!!!!
But…..
that means….
that the BIGGEST Thing of them ALL….
will have all of the *little Things….
by himself…..
for 2 days.
So ya’ll need to PRAY hard for him 
and them.
Have a GREAT weekend!
just in case you were sitting there … wondering
- I’ve never been out of the south.
- I dream about living up north.
- And I’ve almost convinced myself that I want to.
- But I could never ~ actually ~ live ~ there.
- Because, come on!
- I live in Florida.
- And ~ trust me ~ Fla’s SO not *all that.
- But it would be really really cold up north in the winter.
- And well… I’m a total wimp.
- And under 72 degrees is just not the way I roll.
- Yes I said 72.
- Actually it’s more like 72.5
- But really.
- Did you want me to be all anal about it?
- That’s why I said 72.
- Do you think I could get *rich if I invented a little degrees icon button to go on your keyboard.
- It would be so much more efficient.
- Talk about being efficient.
- I just used 27 words.
- To say absolutely nothing.
- What is wrong with me???
- I Know.
- MAKE IT STOP.
- Do you know what I like about up north?
- They’ve got amish people there.
- And dude.
- Amish people just rock.
- As Brittany is obsessed with all things asian. And shiny.
- That is, Asian.
- And shiny.
- Not to be confused with asian & shiny.
- Or shiny asians.
- Although, that would be her 2 favorite things rolled into one.
- It would be much more efficient.
- Go back & read # 28 again.
- So I am fascinated by all things amish.
- If you’re wondering why I sent you to look up efficient,
- it’s not because I think you’re a loser who doesn’t know what efficient means.
- It’s because I had a brain freeze & looked it up.
- And still spelled it wrong.
- 3 times.
- It’s not my fault.
- Blame it on the childrens benadryl.
- I cannot hang.
- That stuff is kicking my bootay.
- If you followed the bootay link,
- please mentally bleep out any & all words or images that may offend you.
- And remember,
- I didn’t make up the definition.
- But it’s in the dictionary.
- And that makes it truthiness.
- Again, truthiness ~ not to be confused with the truth.
- I’m just doin my job.
- Or my self appointed *pretend job.
- Which means I better go to bed.
- Because it’s like, after 3 am.
- And my real job will be starting when the rooster crows.
- I mean that.
- Literally.
- Our neighbor actually owns a rooster.
- Who crows.
- Every morning.
- And wakes my children up.
- Every morning.
- Have mentioned that I can’t wait to move?
- He has no respect for the weekend.
- Or the fact that poor me is doped up on benadryl & still awake.
- Because the biggest Thing of them all isn’t here.
- And I just can’t sleep alone.
- No matter how much he annoys me.
- Or steals my pillows.
- Or snores …LOUDLY.
- It’s okay baby.
- I love you anyway.
- I just found you by way of Kristie’s “Not Quite What I Had Planned” and, from this post, I can tell I’m going to have to go back and read the WHOLE thing.
I am from Minnesota. And we have Amish people here. Yes, it’s way cool. I’ve never been to Florida, but love San Diego. Humidity is not my friend
. Oh, and especially for Brittany we also have shiny Asians here. And also a few that aren’t shiny ! And four seasons, too. THAT really rocks.I can’t wait to read more…
- OK So I’m still trying to figure out what the Amish have to do with shiny Asians ….
Diane - I know what you mean about not sleeping while hubby is away. Even though he doesn’t like to *snuggle* while sleeping it’s still hard for me to sleep while he’s gone. I’ll have to get over that before he leaves for 15 months or it will be scary for everyone left here. Everyone, other people out driving, anyone I have to come in contact with and my kids. I love your lists, though when they get posted the numbers don’t show up. And the rooster – that’s just classic. The only thing more annoying than a rooster in the morning is a peacock in the morning. Have you ever heard one of those? They sound like cats in pain or crying children – scary when you wake up at gramma’s house & have no idea what is going on outside.
- I don’t know where my numbers go. They are there when I am posting, but disappear when I publish. There must be a number thief somewhere. Or a list hater. Or maybe the list hater IS the number thief.
- LOL! Uhmmm… maybe you need to lay off the benadryl chica! Benadryl knocks me out, but apparently it just does weird things to you?
Stupid roosters!
- I think you are onto something there. I’ve heard that thieves who don’t like lists usually don’t like numbers either. I don’t know if that makes any sense but ya. Maybe its some number stealing list hating virus…
- that’s gotta be it. indeezy. number steain list hatin virus… we’re onto you now.
- Anytime you want to come North, you can crash here…I’ll even take you to see some Amish ;0)
- The number trolls. They go around to blogs and steal numbers from lists.
I’d gladly trade some Amishness from around these parts for some 72° Florida livin’.
Did you see that? A degree symbol. Woohoo!
- number trolls huh? I’ll be lookin out for those little thieves…
& WHERE did you find that degree symbol? Just so you know, I’m holding you personally responsible for my million~less future.
- Diane ~ I have no clue how those 2 things are related. Chalk it up to the druggggs????
- In html, you can make a degree symbol by typing the ampersand (&) followed by “deg;”.
Of course, if I try to type it out here to show you, it will just make a °
- Those must be some good drugggggs. And I thought I had a good life–HA! I was all excited about getting the instructions for the degree symbol but, of course, it hasn’t worked for me. Figures. HA!
- <&”deg;”> I still need a button. KIM still needs a button. Atleast I know someone will buy my million $$$ invention
- If you lived amongst the Amish there would be MORE THAN ONE rooster crowing in the morning! Wow, there are roosters in FLA?
- Omg . Heather … this is why i love you ! You crack me up . I feel special you added me … i do love shiny things … and asians …though some asians are shiny … so they are my favorite :]
Here i am again up late reading your blog cause i missed reading it a couple times … but i love you anyways :]
- I grew up in Northern Minnesota, NEGATIVE 20 DEGREES, now does that sound like fun to you or what.
I like living in Palm Beach a little better.
Get well.
Mark - Nice! I just like the poem that you have just written.
- I’ll just leave that -20 to someone else thank you very much.
YES apparently there ARE roosters in Fla. Or atleast my neighbor thinks they belong here.
As a wise woman (not me either) once said “Stupid roosters!”
Today I have
- Washed, dried, folded & fluffed (ha ha ha do you really believe that?) about 200 loads of laundry. Really. That’s not an exaggeration.
- Wondered how such relatively CLEAN children can make thier clothes SMELL so BAD.
- Changed roughly 30 (million) dirty diapers.
- Wondered WHY they have to be SO much like thier daddy in *that respect. Maybe HE should be the official diaper changer.
- Listened to Thing 1 describe ~in detail~ his latest story creation. Life in Snotland. Complete with illustrations. And maps. “Daddy lives on booger lane, where do you want to live?” As far away from there as possible.
- Wondered if there is a way to somehow count this little project as ’school’.
- Kissed thousands of boo boo’s. Real & imagined.
- Yet, when Thing 4 smacked his head (hard enough for me to HEAR the Whomp) and I asked him if he wanted mommy to kiss it he just said “No it’s good ma” and continued on with his little 2 yr old life.
- Wondered when my love for my children overcame my complete disgust for all feets.
- Watched Thing 5 make faces in the mirror.
- Wondered how long the “playin with the pretty baby in the mirror” game would actually be entertaining.
- 47 minutes. Yes the child looked at herself in the mirror for forty seven minutes.
- Aaaand we watched her the entire time.
- Yes we have no life.
- We started out with nothing.
- And we still have a little left.
- Listened to Thing 1 tell the very vivid (& unfortunately true) story of how he and the biggest Thing of them all caught a dead cat while fishing the day before.
- Apparently it was SO cool.
- But only because it was already dead.
- Wondered if the entourage of pets that have lived & died during thier time with our children, has emotionally scarred & completely desensitized my child.
- Was actually thankful to find out that he cried when they caught it.
- Felt bad for being happy about a crying child. Still a little happy to know we can skip the years of therapy.
- Would have skipped the therapy anyway. We have daily therapy sessions on our knees.
- Wiped snotty noses 400 times.
- Once with my shirt.
- Wondered if the snotland story was based on actual facts.
- Decided to change my layout AGAIN.
- Wondered if I really *do have multiple personalities.
- Started to write a post about the layout changes.
- Wondered why I was trying to rationalize blog background decisions to an inanimate object.
- Skipped the post and ate some chocolate instead.
But if you happened to notice the changes, and are curious, I HAD to change it. It was a chocolate beach. I thought that was really cool. 2 of my favorite non *Thing things. BUT then I realized that since having that background, I was not eating chocolate. And I like chocolate. Alot. So, you see, I had no choice.
*** Edited ~ Thing 1 has brought it to my attention, that the reference to booger lane was incorrect. It is actually booger pit road. And his dad not only resides there, he is the king of snotville … er snotland. Thing 1 has very *graciously forgiven me for this error. According to him I am not expected to really understand such complex ideas. Thank God for that. I was having quite a hard time wrapping my tiny little brain around such a big thought. ROFL
