Saturday Mornings

This morning I was making breakfast and Mark was going around irritating the kids. You know just a normal morning at our house. So Mark pops off at the mouth and says something about his ex wives. That would be plural. Taylor says Dad you have only been married twice what wives. Here we go. He is just messing around and he tells her that he was a virgin when we met. Now Taylor is slowly but surely learning the facts of life, says eww you had sex with someone else. Then Mark explains what a virgin is and tells her no me and mom was virgins when we met. Taylor goes well what about me. So then he says you were immaculately conceived like Jesus. Then she thinks for a minute and says was there liquor involved? I love Saturday mornings!

Is it the master crafter or the craft master?

So I have started a new hobby. I am learning to crochet. Eventually I am going to learn to knit but its a little off in the future. Miss Crafty I am not. I have to work at it and then work some more. What comes so easliy to some is almost impossible to me. So its my new obsession. I am going to conquer it. I will become the master. I will make a blanket. I shall master a scarf. I am going to finish something and not find the bag of stuff in the bottom of my closet a year from now. My friend told me about this cool charity where you donate handmade stuff to babies that are born dead or premie or sick. That is something very close to my heart due to my sisters death and I am excited to make something for it. Hopefully soon my skill level will be at such that you can tell what I made and it doesn't look like a bunch of knots. I'll keep you guys updated when I finally finish something.

Tired!

I am so freaking wore out. Between going back to the gym and just taking care of the house and the kids I am just burned out. Its 8:00 at night and I am ready to fall over. It seems like no matter what life just keeps coming at ya. I guess I just have alot on my plate right now. I will be so glad when we leave for vacation. Hopefully I can get some rest and relaxation. I never count on it when you vacation with kids but I hope I can. I am so wore out that I am not even going to Mardi Gras Ball that I was so desperate to go to. I am just going to go next year. I have already went to two parades and I am just done. I don't have it in me to get dressed up and stay out all night. Maybe I need to take some vitamins. On the bright side I have been steadily losing weight despite my lack of dieting. Yes its true you can lose weight and eat hungry howies, just stay so busy that you are about to crash. Well I am going to go to bed now. Thanks for listening to me whine.

Riddle Me This

Why for the love of God do I have the worst luck ever?? Tonight after a long day, went to the gym, did some housework, grocery shop, made homemade spaghetti and meatballs, I craved a bath. I had to have one. So off I go. The delight of my bathtub, new Star Magazine, locked door no child can unlock. Oh its HEAVEN!!! So as I run the water and make sure I have everything I need. I realize as soon as I flop down into my HEAVEN my husband is going to call. So I grab my phone. Now I stand buck naked, water running looking for a safe place to put my phone. Only a idiot would sit a uninsured blackberry on the tub ledge, where it would surely fall in. Not me, oh no, I fail around my bathroom looking for a spot to put it, where I can reach it, trip over my own feet and PLOP goes my phone right into HEAVEN!!! Yeah that's right! I shall never go to Vegas I would probably catch the whole town on fire with my luck.

Brain Training

So I have tried this Brain Age game on the DS. Its a game that you are supposed to play everyday to train your brain. Using your brain is supposed to keep you smart, like using a muscle or losing it. Well I just don't like it. It makes me think too much. I know that's the point, but its just a little too much thinking for me. So instead I train my brain on Webkinz. That's right I admit to it. I go on my sons Webkinz and play little stupid games and win him money. He then spends the money on new furniture for his pet. They are all child based games and don't take alot of thought but I am using my brain. They are cute and funny and keeps you interested. Brain Age drags along and you are like am I dont yet? So screw Brain Age, I will keep my brain trained with Webkinz.
