Random Tuesday Thoughts,oh hello Blog

Yes I know I've been ignoring my blog. There is an invasion coming, it's not Zombies as you would be led to believe over at Keely's and by the viewing of my awesomeness Random Badge but  it's coming... in 2days. 

wait badge... plug.. wait wait there....(would it have killed me to spell check?)
 



OK so it's not the badge that's coming, that's here well there, it's the invasion!!!

INLAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yes it does cause people to scream and run)...

Thankfully this year my excuse is "I'm working now"

yes I know I work from home and yes I know I do all my work on my computer, why yes it looks exactly like being on facebook all day but no it isn't. I'm working the AVON! it's working. Well it's probably workin because Christmas is coming but hey people want this stuff. Shock me! yep!

They want Skin so soft to decrease their bug bites and well that smell, and softness.

They want Anew creams to remove/reshape wrinkles into no more.. and wow wow wow it works. I know I'm paying myself almost to say this but people it works. My cheeks? Smooth. Maybe it's just the act of actually pampering myself (I got the stuff free that helps, that's how they hook you..) before bed but yep it works.
No we will not discuss the fact that my husband is allergic to some of the smells, we just wont buy those...

Jewelery. I'm so glad my ears didn't close over in the last 31yrs of having holes in them for earings. I know have some pretty things. I'm a girl again. Amazing. When you live in a house of boys? you have a tendency to let down your hair and uh not care so much, well maybe that is "I" that does that. "I" haven't really paid that much attention to the fluffing and looking in the mirror. Yes I looked to see I was fat yep knew that but putting in earings? unless I was goijg out of the house for an evening and uh didn't feel rushed to get out before the babysitter was starting the clock? yeah I'm a girl again.

BTW Julie over at Momspective is having surgery this week, could you all just say a little "get better soon/be safe" prayer for her? Tonsillectomies in adults aren't quite the same as they are in kids. She's going to get her ice cream /jello too but healing takes more time. You can't put make up on your tongue to rejuvenate/regenerate/repair it.

Is anyone out there doing that NaNo? for blogs this year? I think I fell off the horse right off the bat. speaking of horses?

   Zebra stars with Zee/ed This was my crazy Sunday, and wow my head was toasty warm. note the puffy cheeks? yeah a bit fat, must work on not raiding boys treats.

I only have 1 pic of boy with mask so you get that one, the rest you could see their faces. It's bad enough you just saw mine.

Wow footwear got expensive for kids? I forked out 151.00 Saturday morning for 2 pair of winter boots, and 3 pair of sneakers. The sneakers better be still in one piece come March/Aprilish. One pair of sneakers is for curling. Yep AJ is a curler again. I'm going to get better pics this year. I promise.

Ok that's all the random I have for now..

Saturday VGNO

So I thought I'd participate this week.



I'm really not having a lot of "new" thoughts lately. Life here is kids, Animals and weight loss/gains, oh and Avon. That's it! there isn't much else going on but I did today get me some "fan mail". hehe It was nice to get this message lastnight just before heading to bed.

"

Hey ..(Kyooty),

I hope you ave a great weekend!  I miss reading your posts!"

Yesterday was Hubbie's Birthday. I bought him a pie. He doesn't want Cake for his Birthdays so he likes Pie now I didn't go all "domestic" on this one. I bought the pie!! his favourite is Lemon Meringue. I did buy some Lard this week with hopes I could try to make pie crust but didn't get it done. Pies make me nervous and I know this topic has come up else where. I almost read the same post from Carmen from MomtothescreamingMasses. She though took the bull by the horns and baked the pie!

The apple Crumble? gone there is no trace of me having baked two of them this week. Well there might be on my Ass? but no sign in the pans. oops! 

I'm sure the Altar of Truth(scale for my weight watching) will not smile fondly on me this week.Also not helping AJ just baked cookies... I skipped it this Wednesday due to all the running around that seems to come with having 3 kids in two schools.

The boys are in the full swing of school.  $ forked out this month for teams and band and so on? 450.00! so far.  I'm a bit confuzzled on this one. Why is it that school band for one middle school is 50.00 but for our school band, it's 220. Both schools are in the same district? Does this not feel like there's some kind of inequality for these kids? Why would a school over there, be more fitting of only paying 50.00 and my Children's school almost 5times? that much? things that make you go hmmmm Failure in Education again Provincial Government!! And you all want me to vote for you this week? uh no!

Now on to Katy Perry. I don't think it's a big deal at all. Maybe if people got less up in arms about cleavage, I would have got less "Stink" eye when putting my children to the Breast for food? BOOBS happen people. My boys all watch the video well the oldest didn't he wasn't home when I showed it.. wait let me find him.... he's 11. 

"That was just weird... it would be good with the original song versions" hmmmmm I'm not even sure I know the original words. So there you have it 11yrold  boy? it's just weird I asked him to explain? "wrong words and elmo??"  

You also have to realize we now have 1 station that comes in with fuzzy reception as our total tv viewing. We don't see a lot of this stuff and Sesame Street is no longer part of the Canadian viewing unless you are paying for US stations or kid TV. 

If you're up for a Saturday night VGNO (Virtual Girls Night out) go on over link up to Ann's and get a button.  I've apparently used tonight as a brain dump. hhee I do that a lot here. Happy Saturday.

Tuesday hits again, Spring! It's coming

Welcome back to Random Tuesday Thoughts. If you want to join in, go on over to The Unmom and get your linky!

Spring is on the way, I have no doubt. Today the high is to be 14C... ok yes I know you all want to know what that means in USA speak. It's 57.2F . YAY i'll have to get out the shorts soon. Then again... that might not be the best idea this spring. I've been sitting most of the winter. There was that good month in February when I was doing the wii every day for 3wks and thennnnnnnn I found Starfleet Extreme on FB. That game is like a full time job.
  
The puddles are jumpy, the ditches are blah but the chickedees are out. Time to buy the boys new Rubber boots.  One still wants to wear his skipants to school, while the oldest is "too old for that" well finally! it only took putting who huge holes in the knees.

St. Patrick's day is tomorrow, so far my only plans are stew for supper. I need to send out the honey do to get the list as there's no stew meat in the house. There's also no carrots, onions, or other veggies.

My van is broke, Power Steering leaked all over the driveway.  Last Easter it was my Gas tank that was leaking on the driveway, then the Tranmission fluid, then Break fluid, and now this spring we bring you power Stearing fluid?  It makes you wonder if Raccoons like to eat cars?

YAY!! the Fox family is back, they are currently 1 fat mom, I guess we'll see the pups soon, YAY! the Raccoon problem may be solved soon.., I've only seen one raccoon so far, and not since...

So we pulled out a VCR,to watch some old toons we had here and the boys say "I want to watch it rewind"... yep this is all new to them. TJ doesn't even remember the VHS years.   Today MJ is watching some old Christmas in July we watched in the late 90's. 

^^^^^
go on click it you know you want to go there... then link up

Got a call last week to do some after school care for a friend. Just an hour or so once a week collect her from the bus until mom gets home from work. Last night she called and she's not too happy with the potential employer. The employer called all 12 people that applied in to "train" and then said "we'll call you when we have our 2 places picked" well what the HE double Hockey Sticks! all 6 people from Monday's Training assembled about 20 products each in 2hours, so that's 120 product completed in 2hours for "free?". It makes you wonder what kind of people are running these businesses.  I'm sure the trainees will be looking for a check soon? Labour laws got to love them! I also noticed when visiting the company website that the products aren't doing any "fairs" so it seems to me that maybe her "booming business" is slowing down? hmmmmm and she needed a quick... anyways... I guess that's random enough employment isn't it? 

(update here, She got the job!)

I think though I may resort to doing after school care here in the fall. I want to stay home here with the boys be here when the phone rings because they hit their heads, or just stay home because they are sick, and so on. I don't know how all you working Mom's do it? I know cellphones but we don't have oneof those, people we have no cable and we're watching VCR Tapes.We did have a cell before the kids were older but really, it was just another bill. We have a homephone and did you know there are still such things as payphones? yeah and phone booths! oh and answering machines/voice mail? amazing isn't it. I also don't text. So I'm not the person looking down into their lap at the stop light because I'm texting and driving.  

 

Drive your car, not your phone! 

that's enough random for today, I must go save a planet from impending doom! oh and bake some brownies with green icing. yummmmmmmmm brownies. 

 

 

Happy Tuesday, or Random Tuesday or Randome<---- if you've been paying attention to my spelling mistakes Tusday. Go on over to Keely's and get yourself a badge.

Tuesday also means dentist, today child needs a spacer

Said Child is home "sick". I'm not sure he's THAT sick but I had to keep him home to keep other's healthy. i'm damn if I do and damned if I don't. I think for some reason he just likes being home? Why I haven't figured out.

I'm doing more reading lately then commenting, not enough hours in the day and besides, my virtual food is spoiling, at my virtual restaurant? not enough hours...


The snow came, it's still here since yesterday even with rain! BRRRRR!

Anyone want to buy an old van? not mine the "his" version? Old but great for mud runs.

I'm going to quit cooking real food soon it's just pointless, no one eats anything I make? The kids look at it and turn up their noses, so I'm going with the take it or leave it but there is nothing else attitude. I'll save a lot of time this way.

I got my hair done, it's only been what? 6months overdue? why does mom always come last?


Christmas? not ready this week either. Maybe I'll get more ready next. I do know where everything but the extension cords, are located. I'm thinking of not doing Christmas cards.

I've been doign these randoms since about May or June? Maybe that's enough of a Christmas year end letter?


I hate feeling rushed, today I'm rushed.

Tuesday are Random they pop up Randomly

Yep it's Tuesday again, ever notice how it Randomly shows up in like the almost middle of the week, not quite the middle, but randomly placed, ok so no it's not showing random but I'll make it random.

Dishwasher now works much better. A Valve had to be replaced, it was a little gunked<-- (new word apparently, ADD! )up from previous 17yrs of use or so. ICK! Hard Water is not cheap.

I did some easy baking this weekend, Peanut Butter cookies those 3 ingredient kind, egg, PB, and sugar, done! bake, and done. gone!!! all goneeeeeeeeeee the boys ate them almost the minute the got in the house. They didn't leave a crumb for Hubbie. He was not amused.

Friday was not a happy day here, my son was picked on and I'm not happy about it in the least. I will be talking to the school after I cool down. For all the talk about not bullying there wasn't a lot done about it either.

Christmas is coming and I'm not ready, I keep procrastinating, I've got to start making lists so that I can DO something! at the rate I'm going I wont have anything done because I haven't started the list and then I'll leave something half started or not done.

More tea, must have more tea.


Weight loss has turned into weight gain, it has nothing to do with the cake but it might have something to do with the leftover Halloween chips. Those chips? they say 90cals per serving but I swear when I look in that bag it should say less then 90cals, cause there is no way 5 chips can be 90cals?

I've decided I'm not going to be baking this Christmas, nope not going to do it. If you want shortbreads, I'll buy you one of those pre-made cans of the stuff or go to a bake sale and have someone else do it and wrap it and tag it and seal it up with duct tape. Yep that should help. Me? Glutton? no just impulsive eater or Seefood diet.



I've going to wrap up the random, I've got nothing else to put in here, I'm boring this week, nothing big happened, no chairs were covered in snow, no kids were curling(tournament at the arena), bowling was ok, we supported them well with the purchase of chocolate bars. I spent too much time researching how they get the caramel inside. The kids did help though, they offered to eat it all for me.


Oh I went to see my son do Judo this week, he's good, and those "games" they play (warmup, and theory) would probably have me sleeping on those judo mats! where do kids get all their energy? play play play, fight fight fight, play play play, laugh, run, jump, play?? Drum Drum Drum.


I don't even have pictures to add today. There are no leaves on any of my trees, there are no deer coming to visit. I think all the gophers are asleep, all the raccoons ate all the berries on the bushes, and all the skunks are curled up under my baby barn.

BTW what keeps you all reading?

Randome Tuesday Thoughts, not Though

Seems at one point or another I had typed Though as a title vs thoughts, this week it's thoughts.



The Thoughts are Random, so off I go to get my badge over at Keely's and get my thoughts all Random like.




Happy Birthday to me is over. The cake was fabulous but I didn't eat it until today, also it was 1/2 a cake. we didn't buy a whole cake this year. There are only 5 of us in the house. This was a good call because well the boys don't appreciate the value of a nice chocolate and caramel covered Cheese cake with brownies. I'll post pictures too, as soon as they are off the camera.


Homework is going to kill me, it wont kill my kids but it's killing me and no it's not making anyone stronger mentally.

AJ is home today but I'm thinking his "I'm sick"was just the results of that cheese cake and his poor belly. He and cheese are not good friends at the best of times. I knew there would be consequences. I had a back up plan, lemon tarts, he ate both. Poor belly. Now I'm going to get him in the car, after I trick him into getting dressed and send him to school. He's certainly well enough to drive me nuts!


Its so funny sometimes seeing the clothes that the older boys wore at a younger age, on MJ now. Where is my Baby?

Did I mention Homework is going to kill me?

The Deer were Back on the weekend but they are down to 3 vs 4, so maybe it was a different family, or some other family is happily patting their full tummies in a house? Hunting season is on right now from what I understand. You can't shoot them in your yard. I would never shoot them because I wouldn't eat them. I was talking to the neighbours and apparently 15yrs ago before the big Highway went in here it was common to see a mom and her triplets? I wonder if my sighting in September/October was children or grandchildren of that line?

Gophers? are not nice.

Getting homemade cards from your kids is one of the bests gifts ever. The looks on their faces when they hand it to you and watching you unwrap( looseleaf over other paper) is fun.

I do not think there will be any Abandon Chair this year, so far no snow is sneaking into my neighbourhood and the chairs are on the deck. I may even get a chance to put them away in the garage?

But the cat knows what to do with abandon toddler chairs


my new dishwasher runs great, YAY!! but someone has already stained the racks with spaghetti sauce.

Random Tuesday Thoughts... Brought to you by the Letter RRT

It's Tuesday, I think without RTT I'd never have very much posted here at all.
So if you've got Random and want to post? head on over to Keely's The Unmom, grab a badge or link and get to posting.




^^^^^^^
see badge!

Let me see... Halloween? went well. Boys had lots of fun. MJ quit after first street, (about 15houses), AJ came back out with me and TJ and friends, he quit at 4 more houses and a Belly ache. He had too much milk that day, and was way excited. Then TJ and Friend kept going with me, We hit about 15more houses. TJ is the only one with any treats left. The majority of treats were Chips this year. Great, they can go in lunches.

Costumes? I didn't get around to posting, will now hijack the "wife's" pics...


In the above picture, I own Alvin, Clifford, The mrs Ann of green Gables in lovely dress s/he bought herself, and the GhostRider at the end with orange bag. The extras are friends of the family. Clifford is a rerun from Ghost Rider's First Halloween in this neighbourhood. One house recognized that, because she's a teacher. Teachers love book characters. (or so I've been told)

MJ is starting school next September. I went to my first "parents only" meeting lastnight. HOLDME! my baby is going to school! I had a hard time when TJ was going but this really? yeah I'm not ready. He's ready, the most ready of all, as he will be the oldest at the start but oh boy!

Speaking of boys, Aim! it's a huge deal boys, STOP PEEING everywhere! It's going to make everyone sick.

Speaking of sick, Teachers? Stop licking your fingers when picking up papers to hand out. This happened lastnight, the coordinator for the "preschool introductions" was licking her fingers to seperate the pages. ugh! The sponge plan is no better. I got the nerve up to say "excuse me please stop licking your fingers", I then turned as red as clifford but come on people! Panic Demic going on.

Speaking of that Panic, Big advertisements telling people to go get the shot, advertise them to go get that shot, and then??? LINE UPS! people at the kid school clinics that aren't suppose to be there. I didn't even bring the kids to the germfest.


Oh And not everyone uses babysitters and has family in town. I had to sign myself up for something for Jan4th? I don't even know if I'll actually BE in the city? sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in smalltown thinking. They also wanted my neighbour's phone number? I think I had more emergency contact # when I lived in the USA? my neighbours aren't exactly helpful unless they know we have a tool to borrow or expertise on how to fix their "stuffs?" Maybe I need to go back to friendly New England?

Phones got changed over yesterday, the tech that came? he recognized our USA safety Sticker, (we left it on, we're sentimental,and weird) and says "you from (state?)"
"yeah, I LIVED there too, "
Yep he was from about 3cityblocks over!

Bowling on Saturday TJ's lanes had the highest scores, WOOOHOOOOO! and Hubbie(wife?) says TJ said this "Thanks Dad for getting me interested in Bowling". It was a good feeling! like out of all the things we may be messing up here, this is working.

Curling? yeah I know some of you are waiting... AJ went curling, they start with lessons, terms and practice, then at the end they do a match. AJ this week was the only one with a point, and then he fell on his knee! SMACK on the ice, it hurt! he didn't "cry" but he was having a bit of trouble not crying, they asked him if he wanted to quit, so he said yes and thanked them. Hubbie says he got int he car and looked at his knee, and it seemed ok. AJ then says 'I can't wait to go back next week'. WIN! again, he's totally into this sport. I think I just realized TJ forgot his Judo gear. And there's the fail. On the plus he's got acold maybe he'll just come home and rest?

OK well seems the bag was packed for today, so maybe he just forgot to bring it. The Gas companies are loving me! Trip to town again, that's 4 times this week.

Random! it's life of a mom really Random this Random that. Why is it I keep wanting to put an e on Randome? Maybe I've been reading too much french homework? do they even say the word Randome?

Halloween pumpkin? we threw that in the back yard, every day I look out there's less of it out there, I'm pretty sure the raccoons are loving it. got to keep the critter Count climbing.

OK now I'm off to go read some more Randome(<-------see) over at Keely's while I wait for TJ to call home saying "MOM I need my gear" :) OK call just in "yes mom did you say I couldn't go?" see it's my fault this time, I had said "maybe you shouldn't go in passing yesterday while he was home sick" now today he's at school. Random mom comments should be monitored, because just when you thought they weren't listening? They were!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts, late

Well it's Tuesday again, I know wasn't it just Tuesday last yesterday? no that was last week. On with the Random stuffs in my head. Brain dump goes here.....

You can find more random over here....



My mouse isn't too happy today, it's double clicking everything, so if you get empty replies? blame the mouse

One of my friends had a baby last week, oh the pics are adorable, so I did what any sane mom of 3 boys does I went out shopping for girls stuffs for her! It's only fair.

I'm doing the single parenting this part of this week, ACK!!!!! it's not fair to be this tired and have no tag team partner. I don't know how all you single parents do it? I knowyou JUST do but still it's hard!

All my trees are naked so I wont take their pictures anymore until they put their white skirts of snow on. We didn't get any snow this week. Other parts of the country did. (<------hehe ) no I'm not pointing nad laughing at them, I'm uh pointing and laughing ok yes I'm pointing and laughing at them.


The boys know I have no tag team partner, they are totally using my good cop against my good cop.

The laundry? it's multiplying, the coat hangers, and dust bunnies too.

I had an inlaw invasion this past weekend. Yeah that's why I wasn't around for Friday Fill ins. I didn't want them to SEE you all, and well then they would know I"m writing about them! I mean stuff. I only cooked one meal, Friday night, the rest of the weekend? up to everyone else. I love to cook and I love to feed people but not when they say things like "if you're going to make spaghetti, don't make that whole wheat stuff" and "I'll cook it" which I immediately followed up with, "well I wont cook at all then". WE went out to supper that night. oh boy!

4.5yrolds? yeah they don't like to SIT down at restaurants, they want to use their new public potty skills, and tel you about what's on teh floor under the table, and visit the fish, and oh wash their hands and uh look for a toy that isn't there, and make love notes for the waitress on their placemats. yes that part was cute "Mom how to you spell I LOVE You?" OK "Is this a good heart?" it really was a great drawing.

10yrolds? with their own bathrooms and BIG bedrooms? yeah they don't appreciate them at all! I had to pull out the scrubby sponges down there! yikes! "yeah I cleaned my room" oh really?

8yrolds <------ yesterday btw, they you to do everything FOR them and they want to eat Chips, chocolate, cake and pop when their grandparents come to visit. NO! and then then I'm the "mean mom" but wow he's 8 now! ACK! only 5 more years until I can leave him to babysit, so I can escape I mean go for a nice walk.

Homework? yeah that should be illegal and fall under the labour laws for "over work".

Critter counter going up, today I saw a woodpecker attacking my cedar fence.

Oops this was more of a rant. I'll work on better for next week. I promise. I'll do my homework before the kids eat up all my time.

Random Tuesday Thoughts, more Rambling

OK yes there may or may not have been a Holiday in your parts readers so it's might be confusing but yes today is Tuesday. So click the link and find more Random and or stick around and read me Ramble....


Today is the day, I have to sign up my littlest for school next year. This is a big step, I'm a bit nervous, no more baby? I'm not ready, he's totally ready, the boy is making signs like "no pooping on my bed Aura" for the cat, with help from the brothers but he's making the letters and asking "how do you spell" not to be confused with "howwwwwwwww you say..." which would be his bilingual coming through... HA!! OK no he doesn't say that, but it's still funny. "howwwwww you spell..." hahah that he definitely spells and it does sound exactly how you hear Peppy le Pew saying it in your head. And he even bounces, so it fits.

Right now he's trying to make the Mom lose her mind as he's snots all over the DVD collection while also laying the discs on the floor so they are good and scratched. WHYYYYYYYYY???

The 4 letter word was announced on the radio this morning during the weather, you know the word. I suspect this calls for a trip to the department stores so I can go into mass debt buying 4letter word suits, mitts, hats and other stuff they will lose either at the school, or on the bus or at Grandma's house at Christmas.

I baked this past weekend, I baked a Banana Loaf, and 2 batches of apple muffins. Apple Muffins are the best thing I've found for lunches because the boys think that brown sugar topping is candy. I call it essential for the apple to do it's work.

We had our Ham for Thanksgiving but you know after all was said and done and even with headaches branching 3 days I miss the Turkey. Friday I'll buy a turkey, I missed it and yes I know I'll be doing it again in November for my mini Americans but still must have more turkey.

ACK! The Mini Canadian is asking where his Buzz Lightyear Toy is, uh uh uh I think maybe possibly it may have uh flew with style out to the garbage can about two years ago? ... uh oh.... Oh I think this calls for "oh I think we gave it to (nephew), because he's getting to be a big kid?" do you think I'll get away with it?

Oh I had the weirdest Dream ever on Sunday morning, headache kept me in bed until noon,trying to ignore my head pounding, (Darn Buzz made it upstairs, no lying necessary, go me for not letting go of anything) and I woke up and had tell Hubbie the dream. He came in and says "do you want to adopt a saxophone kid or a Trombone kid?" and I said "huh, what about both?" so suddenly I'm in the neighbours yard on the island (beside mom's house), and I'm in their garage, and I see bolted to the wall two vacuum cleaners, one called the Saxophone Windish tunnel and the other the Trombone Windish tunnel, and I start to take them apart to see what they do. Apparently one is supposed to be a Steamer and vacuum. I'm starting to use it on the neighbour's lawn(which suddenly turns into carpet). It's just a steamer, I yell to Hubbie, he's off picking blue berries with my kids in the old horse race practise track I used to go to as a child, and he comes over "yeah it's just a steamer" He's also giving me that "you weren't supposed to get up and look at them" look. So I open it, pull that plastic strap that toys have to turn off the demo program? you know "Elmo wants to be a chicken" and he stops right well the strap that keeps it from stopping and then you kick yourself for taking it out, because you can't stick it back in? So then Hubbie looks at it and says "well it's got a dishwasher in it" and so we buy/adopt that one.
Weird dream but what makes it weirder is that I tell hubbie,and he says "you really want a new Dishwasher don't you?" (yeah I've only been asking for 3yrs) and I said "and a steamer and vacuum too?" then the mean shot "wow you are domesticated!" Yep it's happened I'm dreaming about appliances.

So even my dreams are random, one minute I'm asleep in my bed and next I'm vacuuming my mother's neighbours lawn with my steamer that's a dishwasher.

Random Tuesday, I did homework!

Let's see, Random, wait let me get my note book, yep I did my homework, something small came to mind and I wrote it down. I'm There this week! Get your Badge over at The Unmom Keely Shares!

discussion with MJ
Me "I love the Babies"
MJ pulls thumb out of mouth "I wasn't sucking my thumb, I was just kissing it"
I had to laugh, I just couldn't let that much Kyootness go to waste and I wrote it down. See homework!

Spring, yeah uh no, not yet...I'm still taking pictures of abandon chair. It keeps me busy.
I know it's blurry. I'm not good at this photography stuff, I'm very much a point and shoot kind of person.



But mother nature is not cooperating. It rained all night Sunday into Monday, then at about 9am yesterday it all turned to snow, The chair did well, it seemed to shake it off or wiggle it's shoulders in a way as to not let the snow stick but I think it must have fell asleep over night because this morning there is tell tale signs of about 7cm of snow. So two steps forward and 1 step back into winter?





update since I started typing, the Sun is here!! maybe this stuff will melt faster? (looking to heaven,please?)

I won something, well it feels like I won something. Headless mom over at The adventures of The Headless Family is decluttering, it's a win win situation. Her kids are outgrowing stuff, mine is just getting an introduction to some of her "Stuff". I can't say Thank you Enough!! Thank you AJ will be super pleased.

Does anyone know this Twitter or follow them? articlesonline's? I don't see anyone I follow on the list but you never know? oh and Twitter has taken over my life along with blip.fm! best hernia recovery toys ever!!

Hernia,it's recovering,tomorrow I start walking around my block here. Oh anyone play with Google maps? I took a walk on the weekend with the little yellow dude and a satellite map around my old neighourhood.I used to walk4-6miles a night with my neighbour, helped knock 65/80lbs off that year. It brought back a lot of memories and like Nennette's clip of her old place in Hawaii in LifeCandy, it was a sentimental journey.
Memories are great.

What else is in my Random Thought brain for today. I had to laugh a bit today, I made Popcorn last night in the microwave for the boys, I put it in paper bags to go into their lunch. This morning I hear "you've got a sandwich and popcorn, that's it you ate all the other lunch supplies yesterday after school" Luckily I made the bags BIG! Maybe it's time for groceries, and restocking the shelves with things other then pizza?

OH speaking of Pizza, TJ won Second Place this weekend at bowling! they had an in-house tournament, he won 15. Greco dollars,(it's an eastern Canada chain I think, I am not paid for that link, it's just for explanation purposes!) and decided we could all have pizza for supper, 2 medium pizzas, one mommy and daddy like and 1 the boys like. What a guy! Hubbie was happy because well he didn't have to cook. I'm a bit tired of pizza and KFC now. I want my kitchen back. As long as he drags the Crocklikepot, Bread maker and washes down the heavy broiler pan, I think I can get back to cooking "real" food! Now the bathroom, no I think that scrubbing would totally blow our my internal stitches, don't you think?
Milk? did someone mention milking it? nahhhhhhh
