Wednesday's Words of Wisdom (On Thursday).


You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
Franklin P. Jones


I thought this was fitting as I will be playing 'mom' to three kids (4, 3, 15mos) Friday-Sunday. Fortunately, they're my regular kids and I absolutely adore them, so I'm excited and they are, too :)

Also, does anyone else find this image to be incredibly, um, odd?

Great quote and good luck with the kids this weekend! Sounds like you'll have your hands full!

Too funny that you went to Dayton!! My mom grew up there and my bf is from Centerville, right next door! ...And I suppose I have gotten followers from my blogging obsession, I love finding new ones, like yours! :)

Well, my mind is always in the gutter so I noticed the whole "bent over" situation immediately. It doesn't take long for my mind to register things like that...but then again, I still cant figure out how to play Wii Lego Batman with my kids. But if Batman had a huge prick that shot and killed the bad guys, I'd probably figure it out pretty darn quickly.

Moving on...does that family even realize how blessed they are to have someone as wonderful and trusting as you to watch their kids for an entire weekend???? I can't think of one person near us who I would trust to watch our kids for 3 straight days. Our anniversary is coming up next week and Tim suggested sending the kids to his parents house for just one night and the idea of it made me feel sick to my stomach. I wish I had someone I could trust completely who would watch the kids in our own home, where I know it's all baby-proofed and safe.

Um... I kind of like the picture. But I'm a little weird. And sleep deprived. And stressed. So... you decide.

Just Popping In

I didn't intend to skip out for the past (almost) week, &, as a matter of fact, I actually HAD things to blog about (shocking, I know), but the end of last week was pure chaos and time did not allow for much of anything other than work/appointments/errands/getting ahead on school work/playing mom to three kids all weekend. And all of that running around & time spent with kids has left me with a terrible cold, intense nausea, and sleep deprevation. However, my flight leaves at 7:05 tomorrow morning & by 2 EST, I'll be in beautiful St Thomas with another friend visiting one of my favorite people in the world & for that, I am beyond grateful. Catch y'all in a week or so! Aloha. Or whatever the Caribbean equivalent of goodbye is.

Random Facts about Me You Probably Don't Care to Know.

Brown Eyed Girl Jenn did this post earlier today and I thought it was fun, I haven't done a meme in ages, and I have a handful of new followers who may like to know useless information about me, so I figured what the heck? Might as well steal it. Thanks, Jenn! The ABCs of yours truly! A. Age -- 23. I'll be 24 on May 20th (I love surprises in the mail, hint hint ;)) and some days I can't believe I'm that old, while others, I can't believe I'm that young. B. Bed size -- Queen and it's the most heavenly thing in the world, which is great, but also bad, because it is nearly impossible to pull myself out of bed every morning... or afternoon. C. Chore you dislike -- Cleaning the shower would probably be my least favorite. I have a shower/tub combo and I really just hate getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing the bejeezus out of the thing. Plus, I feel like I smell like Clorox for the next 3 showers. D. Dogs -- I have two fur babies, you can read about them

The Season of Giving... & Receiving

Read this post. Trust me, you'll want to. Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. From Thanksgiving until January 1st, I forget about how much I despise cold weather and bask in the warmth that is Christmas cheer. Oh, Lord, is that cheesy or what? But I mean it. There's just something about all the decorations, the music, the preparation for the birth of my Lord, that makes me all giddy. But it can also be a stressful time with the end of school, shopping to do, letters to send, volunteer work, etc. I know I'm not the only person in the world who stresses. Kids, taking care of the home, jobs, finding a job, loved ones who are fighting for our freedom overseas, school, being a good friend and family member-- it can all be so overwhelming and take a toll on the body. I try to use homeopathic remedies (I think that's the term I'm looking for...) when I'm feeling incredibly stressed because Lord knows my body gets pumped full of enough pharmaceuticals as is
