A blog too good not to share

I found this on a (web) surfing adventure.....it literally made me L.O.L :-)

If you enjoy it only half as much I did, then I will know you had a good belly laugh, too.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea.....

Last night we got a pineapple from Costco and when Daniel saw it sitting on the counter this morning, he pulled over a chair to get a better look at it. I heard him saying (to the pineapple) "spongebob....are you in there?". It made me chuckle ☺

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

So, I came home from church today, fed the boys, did some (more) laundry, made hot cocoa for the boys (I know you love that, Teresa) for their naptimes, took them upstairs to nap, poured myself a bowl of cereal (THAT was my lunch), was summoned upstairs by Michael for God knows what, ended up laying down with him (at 2:30pm) and next thing I knew, my husband was asking me what I wanted for supper.....AT SIX O'CLOCK.

How did that happen? I didn't feel that tired. Michael missed Cubbies, and oh my goodness, what drama ensued when he realized that had happened. Why did you not take me to Cubbies, mommy? Blah, blah, blah....

Now, here it is 10:30pm, and I'm pretty much ready to go back to sleep, but because I felt like crapola from sleeping so long, I didn't do anything once I got up, which of course now needs to be done (or not....). Tomorrow is a new day, and since I will be up at 5am, I should have plenty of time to get whatever done that I don't do tonight.....unless of course Scramble sucks me into it's clutches.

YEAH.....

Not so huge anymore...(although it is still pretty easy to read, Tiffanie:-))....now I just have to figure out how to make it "pretty". I also need to know how to use my outlook calendar so my husband will quit being surprised when I say "you're on your own tonight". I also need to book our flight for vacation over Christmas break, and....and....and......OMG....I think I need to up my dosage of Prozac :-) hahaha

And did I mention that my blog is......

HUGE

I'm distraught.....

I tried to change the look of my blog by changing my template; however, no matter what code I put in, it always looks the same....like this....full of nothingness. And I'm distraught over it. RAWR!

Maybe I'll have some time to invest in trying to figure it out in a couple days...until then, I'll keep writing.....on a truly blank slate.

What's up...

Just a quick "update" (they seem to be popular!!)

• trying hard to get back into the swing of things with school. I had gotten into the extremely bad habit of not getting up until about 7:30 or so, and it's killing me to get up at 5:00 or 6:00am.
• playing SCRAMBLE
• (still) trying to get the things done that I keep putting off. I guess if I stopped "trying" and just DID them, I would be much better off.
• started Awana on Sunday nights. This is Michael's third year doing it, and my first year not doing it. I didn't sign Daniel up this year so he and daddy can have some guy time. I wish I could just drop Michael off and leave without feeling guilty about not helping out somewhere...maybe it will come in a few weeks.
• I am starting tomorrow night with an Alpha course, and I am sooooo excited about it. I got a few friends of mine to sign up for it, too, so it should be great. I mean, it would be great without them, but they are just a bonus!
• playing SCRAMBLE
• I am starting a Beth Moore bible study next Tuesday. I've never done one, and I've heard hers are great, so I'm looking forward to it. It will be good to have homework....maybe that will be the motivation I need in my life to get it together!
• I am really starting to feel like a "grown up"....not that I haven't before, but recently even more so with some major life events (sudden death of a family friend, impending death of another family friend, etc.).
• I am finally making headway in my quest to declutter. My front step was littered with bags for freecyclers today. I have to quit hanging on to "things" that have no apparent value, monetary or sentimental. If I could get rid of my kids for a week or so, I would have it made. They definitely slow me down as while I'm doing one room, they are either in the same room, undoing it, or in another wreaking havoc.
• thinking that I can't wait to get together with my "old" friends again.....20 years is too long...heck, 5 years was too long.
• did I mention, playing SCRAMBLE.

Well, that about sums up what I've been doing, or not doing. In some ways I wish that I had a full time job vs. a part time job. I definitely think that a part time job has it's own unique challenges, especially when it comes to housekeeping. I'm here long enough to tear through it in the morning, leaving a trail of devastation behind me, but not here long enough in the afternoon before the hubby gets home to get rid of the "evidence". At least full time, everyone is gone from the house all day, so it (in theory) will stay neater. But, I only have until September 2010 until my baby is in kindergarten (Michael starts in September 2009, and Bryn graduates 2009), so I'm going to keep avoiding any talk of going back to work full time until at least then :-)

Class of '09

WHAT?!?!? How can that be??? I swear it was just my senior year....Class of '87. I knew that it would happen someday that he would grow up, I just didn't know it would come so quickly. I'm feeling a little panicky, like I haven't finished yet. Which I haven't, I know, I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but not by much. AND, on top of having one son graduate in 2009, I have another entering kindergarten that same year, then another going to kindergarten the following year.

When Bryn was about 10 years old, and it looked as though he would be an only child, I often wondered "what will I do when Bryn is 18 and graduates and I'm 40. What will I do?". Well, that question was answered about 2 1/2 years later by the birth of Michael and again 21 months later by the arrival of Daniel. I now have something to keep myself occupied until I am at least 60! WOW! 60 years old and having a teenager! I shudder to think.
