More white crap 2008-03-08 14:31:41 At least it’s good for something. It’s Ken pulling Chase and Blake around on his 3-wheeler. I’ve done it many times, but not this year. It makes for a really sore bum and the cold snow hitting your face feels like needles. I don’t know how the kids do it. [...]
Movies and me time 2008-03-07 12:46:26 The boys only had a half day of school today because it is the end of the semester. I didn’t feel like working much today so I am using their half day as an excuse to why I am only working a half day. I think I am going to watch another movie [...]
My turn 2008-03-06 18:46:42 Imagine having a place where you can escape from everything. The kids, the dogs, the messy house, the laundry, all of it. It would be a dream come true right? Well that is what my dear husband gets to do everything day. He goes downstairs, locks the door, and has time to [...]
This is what happens 2008-03-05 19:32:52 When school is once again canceled due to the snow. Enough already!
This That and the Other 2008-03-04 21:06:49 Earlier today Ken said to me, “Why don’t you stop working for now, don’t you need to blog or something?” I immediately thought, my blog! Oh NO! My poor blog! (lol)
I don’t know why I haven’t blogged. I guess I don’t have much going on to write about huh? Let’s see…. [...]
Rambling woman 2008-03-12 22:19:14 I’ve been waiting for the moment to come where I feel like I have something spectacular to blog about, but it just isn’t coming. I kind of don’t like my blog right now, but I have PMS, so no surprise there.
I don’t think I’ve missed blogging about anything big the past several days. [...] Read more:Rambling

Proving my love 2008-03-09 22:48:33 Ken is always telling me that I am too hard on Blake. Like any mom I love my kids equally. But I admit there are times when I am harder on him the the other 2 younger ones. I feel he is second oldest, almost 8 years old and some of his [...] Read more:Proving
Political Sex 2008-03-18 18:13:36 I don’t know about you, but I am so tired of hearing about politicians having sex with other people. Like this and this and this. Three-ways, gay sex, paid for sex, three ring circus sex, who really cares!! We all have sex people! Some with our spouses, some with prostitutes, some with our neighbors or [...]
Feeling yucky 2008-03-17 18:05:21 I spent the past two days on the couch with one of the worst periods ever desperately wishing I would have gone forward with getting Mirena. I have to call my insurance and find out how much it will cost me out of pocket and it just hasn’t been a priority. I need [...] Read more:Feeling
I blame it on my parents 2008-03-21 20:04:42 I am totally moping right now. I want an elliptical machine like right now. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I was at the mall and got hooked on the idea of wanting one again. Every since then I can’t stop whining about it. I know I am driving [...]
No More Tears 2008-03-19 18:32:35 Not much to say today…. so I will share the photos of Karli’s shorter hair cut. It is SO much better now compared to when her hair was longer. No more screaming in pain when I comb it after she gets out of the bath. Basically I just cut off several inches [...] Read more:Tears
Family 2008-03-25 23:42:23 The other night Ken and I were watching the movie - Dan in Real Life and I couldn’t help but feel sad afterwards because of something Ken said. The movie was great, just enough comedy and girly sappiness oh - and Dane Cook to add some yum. At the beginning of the movie Steve [...] Read more:Family
Color me happy 2008-03-27 20:24:35 Like the spoiled brat that I am… I got my elliptical! Ken went on Tuesday to meet his brother at the sporting goods store to check out the cheaper one that I mentioned before. He was ahead of schedule so he stopped at a real fitness equipment store just to “check things out”. [...] Read more:Color
Hands Free 2008-03-29 21:52:11 My car has that nifty “Hands
Free” feature where you can talk on the phone through a speaker. There are many reasons why I hate this feature.
1. You have to pay for a separate phone number. You can’t just like plug your current cell phone in to the thing. We were able [...]
Why I love Google 2008-03-28 17:42:30 What would we do without Google
? I kept hearing this song on TV and I wanted to know what it was.
I typed in Google “take me away” desperate housewives commercial and of course the very first result brought up what I was looking for.
The song is Pocketful Of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield. [...]
Spring better spring soon 2008-04-01 23:41:46 Even though it doesn’t really feel like spring here in the Midwest, I thought I would get rid of my Valentine layout and put something up that looks more sunshiney. (I know it’s not a word.)
I am about computered (boy, I like to make up words, don’t I?) out for the day, but I thought [...] Read more:better
Curiosity 2008-03-31 16:14:21 Curiosity, as I type that it is one of those words that you stare at and say - is that REALLY how you spell it? I guess so. Anyways…
Question for you all.
Any of you that have a child in a similar situation or know of anyone that is, your input is appreciated.
My oldest son [...]
No title 2008-03-30 23:03:43 It was so nice having my niece in town this week. Now that my sister lives 3 1/2 - 4 hours away her dad only gets to see her a few times a year. The “long distance visitation schedule” gives him a week at Easter, a week at Christmas, and 2 months out [...]
Screaming like a teenager 2008-04-04 14:08:32 I can’t believe how giddy I am over these guys reuniting! They were on the Today Show this morning to announce their first performance which will be on May 16, on the Today Show. Man, we have all these phyisician interviews scheduled for May that I am so anxious about and now I have to [...]
Photo Sharing 2008-04-03 22:38:35 We were eating Taco Bell in the car before Andrew’s dentist appointment yesterday. I finally got Karli a new car seat, her old one was so old and didn’t have the proper latch system.
Chase got his haircut yesterday at HIS request. He has never had his hair this short. He told [...] Read more:Photo

Did you see this??? New Kids on the Block are back! I can’t wait to hear what kind of music they are going to release. Tell me this doesn’t make you feel old - it was [...] Read more:Right
Pooper Scooper 2008-04-08 07:00:57 The nice weather this weekend brought along with it some undesirable springtime chores. After months and months of snow there is always a lot of dog droppings to clean up. I typically start out helping, but after about an hour I quit and leave the rest for Ken. The next door neighbor [...] Read more:Pooper
Special Delivery 2008-04-07 21:45:57 When I came home from Blake’s eye appointment today there was a surprise waiting for me on our back patio. I recognized the box as one that Ken’s brother brings over filled with chips (he works for Frito Lay). It wasn’t quite what I expected, but too cute!
Chase!!! It must be nice to [...] Read more:Special

Indecisive 2008-04-07 09:00:31 Remember this?
I got a little bit further than you see in this photo. Actually I got the the third row of intarsia and I was not enjoying it one bit. It was stressful and you had to watch the pattern so closely each and every stitch. Knitting should be relaxing! I paid [...]
Rambling 2008-04-09 17:48:13 Karli is always sifting through my underwear drawer like she is looking for something. I have a pair with yellow smiley faces all over them and she calls them my Nick Jr. underwear. She gets pretty upset that I never want to wear the Nick Jr. ones. The other day she was doing [...] Read more:Rambling
Busy Bee 2008-04-11 19:24:42 My front entry right now. Andrew’s baseball team is here and there is a lot of testosterone in the house. But they are being good, so no complaints.
Unlike yesterday when Chase had a field trip to 4 different places! We visited the fire station, then stopped at an ice cream and pizza place. [...] Read more:Busy Bee
Apply Within 2008-04-14 18:35:43 So I was thinking… I read this article about Dooce and someone guesstimates that she makes about $40,000 a month off her ads. WOW. That is like 1.4 physician placements. Do you know how hard I have to work to make 1 physician placement? I wish I could say I work my [...]
Uncle Sam 2008-04-15 20:43:23 Who is Uncle
Sam anyways? If you really want to know, read here. My interpretation of Uncle Sam
is an old ugly guy that takes your money. He sucks.
Having your own business (or businesses in our case) surely has it perks, but paying taxes is not one of them. When you work [...]
