Life has been crazy…….

 

I’m sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’m trying to get back on track. I have been busy, with doctor appts, baseball, cub scouts, and general life. We have been pretty busy these last couple weeks, settling into our new spring routine. I’m slowly getting more organized…but do you ever feel like it doesn’t matter how much you organize, your life is still scattered? That has been me lately. Never enough time in the day is there?

For Today March 2, 2009

Outside my window.... is a sunny and in the 80’s today. So beautiful!

I am thinking....  We had a lovely weekend, and enjoyed the wonderful weather.

From my imagination....not much these days…

I am thankful for....  Wonderful friends and family that support me!

From the kitchen.... Chop Suey and some homemade bread if I have time.

I am wearing..... Khaki shorts, t-shirt, and a sunburn!

I am reading.... Nothing at the moment. Need to find a new book to read.

I am hoping..... we have a good week. 

I am creating... nothing.

I am hearing....  Kids run around.

One of my favorite things.... quiet sunny afternoons, with a breeze..

A few plans for the rest of the week Doctor appts, Cub scouts, Library, Baseball game, cooking, picture taking, reading, laughing, playing, and having fun!

A picture I am Sharing....

She is such a ham, and keeps me laughing everyday!

She makes life so happy!

Thursday Thirteen

 

t13-84

 

This weeks letter is “I”

1. Ice Cream: I love ice cream, I could eat it all the time My favorites are Black Raspberry, Phish food, and Caramel.

2. Ick: Strangely I use this word a lot. Maybe it is I talk to little people all day!

3. Ink: I use a lot of different colored ink pens when I write letters. I like being colorful…

4. I-pod: Not sure why I’m following the craze on this one, but I would like to get one. :)

5. Information: I love to gather information. Wealth of knowledge is great. Hunter and I love to learn.

6. Ice Hockey: We are going to our second game. We enjoy it!

7. Idaho: Never been there, but would one day like to visit the land of spuds!

8. Ideal: What is really ideal? Do you often wonder if the picture of Ideal gets the best of us sometimes?

9. Identity: I like mine thus far…

10. Ignorance: Seems to be over running our country these days? What happened to all the well educated people?

11. Illegal: I try not to do anything that is illegal. Stayed out of trouble thus far! :) LOL!

12. Imagination: It is a wonderful thing, and sometimes I don’t think kids know how to use it anymore. I love watching my kids imagination grow!

13. Independent: I think of myself as being very independent. I try to let others help me, but its difficult to trust in them. My middle daughter is very independent as well. I’m trying to help her with this now. :)

There you have this weeks letter “I”

Stayed tuned next week for the letter “J” !

Fun with friends:

 

A friend of mine who I’ve known since Middle School lives down here. She actually lives only 20 minutes from me. For the purposes of my post, I’m going to call her “J”.

“J” works for Disney as a photographer, so she was kind enough to get me, Andy and the girls in to the Magic Kingdom. We had a wonderful day, and it was nice to catch up with “J”. I’m hoping we get to see each other a bit more often. I’m not going to give you a big long post, cause we have already blogged about the Magic Kingdom, so I’m just going to give you a couple highlights, and a few pictures!

The girls love for the day, were seeing the Fairies, and Princesses. We saw a few other characters that we have yet to have their picture taken with, or book signed. We rode some rides, which the girls liked and hated. They both loved the Barn Stormer, which was like a mini roller coaster. I thought Sage would be scared but she laughed.  Rachel’s favorite was the Aladdin’s carpet ride. They didn’t really care for the Snow White ride, cause they thought it was scary. It was dark…so we think that is why it scared them.

All and all we had a great time, and enjoyed our time with “J”. The girls hope to see her again soon.

One of my favorite things.... quiet days with my girls.

A picture I am Sharing....  The tiger wanted to say hi to everyone. Tigers truly are beautiful creatures aren’t they?

Saying Hi

Monday Morning:

1. What is something that you forgot once, but will never forget again? What happened when you forgot it? I really can’t think of something that I forgot that was major.

2. How do you handle hateful comments or emails? How do you handle someone who annoys you in real life? I completely ignore hateful comments and emails. There is no need for immaturity like that.

As for in real life…. I usually tell people what I think. If they don’t like it, well don’t talk to me! High School was over long ago!

3. How often do you change the furniture around in your living room area? At the moment we are not living in at our own house… but when we were I changed it around ever 4 months or so. I get bored easily!

How often do you rearrange other rooms in your house? I usually change my kids bedrooms and mine around ever 6 months.

Tell us about the last time you rearranged a room - were you by yourself? Did you have help? Was it a pleasant experience or did sparks fly? Were you satisfied with the end result? No I don’t ever try to move things alone. Usually it is an ok experience…. and I’m usually ok with the end result.

4. Is it better to never be married, or married badly and divorced? Why? I’m not sure on this one. I have many theories. I don’t think you can forget love, so to have loved someone is an experience. From every experience you learn something right? What you learn is what makes you the person you are today…. So, I guess it depends on your definition of badly? I don’t want to go into this to far, so I will leave it at that!
