10 Things About Me

1. It drives me crazy that my DVDs are no longer in ABC order. I tried, but there really is no point to redoing it over and over again when you have little boys. Serious waste of time.

2. I join online book clubs so all my books will be EXACTLY the same size.

3. I absolutley HATE trying on clothes in the store.

4. I still get mad when I get home and my new clothes don't fit me.

5. I love the smell of puppy breath.

6. I have a super case of road rage. So much that my son asked my sister, "Why are there only idiots on the road when you or my mom drive?"

7. I am addicted to breaking news. Even though they say the same things over and over and over and show the same pictures over and over and over.

8. I am an AMAZING singer when no one can hear me.

9. I have to be completely covered up to my chin to be able to fall asleep.

10. I've lost about 14 pounds in the last two months!

Did ya know all that?

Funny Cameron

Check out how my son spells 'we'. Awsome!

My Celebrity Look-Alikes

My mom sent me this fun link! It's very cool, and super easy! But really, Ashton Kutcher???

Robbie Rocks!

Robbie passed his belt test! He is now recommended blue belt. Not bad at all, especially considering he had a fever! Isn't he handsome?

OOhhhhhh! Pretty!

Cameron asked me why, if God promised to never flood the world again, was it raining. Kids are funny.

I Said No!

Sob. Today when I left the grocery store, a boy was out front. He was selling a 7 week old Begal puppy. It was all I could do to walk away, but I did it. I'm SO regretting it! I tried to comfort myself by petting my dog, but she just looked at me and sighed and put her head down. She didn't even get up. That sweet puppy would have! You'd better watch it, Chloe!

Ummm

I'm sorry, but I kind of have a problem with this. In case it's too small, it says, "Jesus loves you but I'm his favorite". Is it just me, or is this just wrong?

Not Much Better

If you haven't read my last blog, read that one first.......All caught up? You may continue.

Now, Robbie is watching A Haunting. I watched it a few times when he began to show an interest in the show. We've talked about how we don't believe in ghosts, and how they don't really haunt us, and how dead people can't hurt us. He knows that. I know that. It just strikes me as funny that my 8-year-old is watching exactly the same thing I would have loved to watch at his age. I think I'll start his subscription to the Dean Koontz Fan Club.

Thanks, CN

Thanks to this terrible channel, Robbie now wants to fart into a balloon to fill it up. This was someones brilliant idea of children's television. He has found is science project for the rest of his school career. I'm so proud.

The Mop

For those of you who read my mom's blog, and saw my comment about the amazing new mops we got, here is the picture of my mop head after moping my hall, entryway, kitchen, and dining room. Pretty nast, huh?

Merry Christmas, So Cal!

Guess what I drove over today!!

Finally, after all this time, the connector from the 215 to the 60 is OPEN!!!

I couldn't believe it, either!!!

Great Idea!

So, a few nights ago, I was looking online to find out how many calories mashed potatoes had, and I came across a GREAT website. It's sparkpeople.com. It's a FREE weight loss website. I decided to look it over later that evening, and signed up for an account. Tonight I was looking through some of the posts other members have put on the message boards and came across the best idea. Every month, figure out how many pounds you've lost, then donate the same amount of weight in canned goods to your local food bank! That way, not only are you doing yourself good, but you are helping others as well! Plus, it's a good reminder when your carrying that food just how much you've actually lost! I'm going to do this! I'm down about 5 already! Those cans are going to add up and really help someone!!

Best Friends

One of the many reasons I love Cameron is for his ability to talk to anyone without hesitation. It doesn't matter who it is, he will talk. And ask silly five-year-old boy questions. Last night at the hockey game, he got to talk to one of the players, Brad May, who just happens to be one of Bill's favorite players! After the conversation Brad had with Cameron, he just might be the whole family's favorite player!

We got to the rink early to watch the practice, and decided to go stand by the tunnel leading to the ice to see what we could see. Brad May was standing inside the tunnel! So naturally, Cameron decided to talk to him. The conversation when a little something like this...

C: I like the Ducks. Do you like the Ducks?

B: Yeah, little buddy, I sure do!

C: I like the Ducks, too! Your shoes are sharp on the bottom. Are they hard to stand on?

B: No, it's easy. Just like standing on your shoes. That isn't hard, is it?

C: (laughing) NO! It's easy!

B: It's easy to stand on these shoes, too!

What a very, very cool guy! Thanks, Brad May, for making Cameron's (and all of our) night!

Boys Conversation

Today on our way home from Target, the guys had an interesting conversation. Robbie was minding his own business, clicking his tongue when this is what we heard...

R: click-click-click

C: Stop it!

R: What? Don't you appreciate the classics? click-click-click

C: I just want a piece of quiet!

Later on...

R: click-click-click

C: Stop it!

R: Well, I have to do something!

C: Then, why don't you go to sleep?

R: click-click-click

Oh, my guys are freaking GREAT!!

TP on VB

As I was driving down Van Buren to pick Cam up from school, the traffic slowed to a crawl. My first thought was, "Great. Cam is out of school in 5 minutes. I'll never make it." My second thought was, "Why don't people know how to drive without crashing in to each other?" My third thought as I rounded the curve, was, "What the crap??? Who toilet papered Van Buren?" There were hundreds upon hundreds of rolls of toilet paper ALL OVER the roadway! It was awesome!

Curses!

I have finally found a craft that I suck at. Tonight, Krista tried to teach me how to knit. I couldn't do it. Now, I only tried for about a half an hour, but it didn't come second nature. I don't handle that well. I will absolutely try it again tomorrow. I will beat this. I will. You'll see...

School

So, yesterday at school, my teacher, Nan, read us an email that I'm sure you've all seen before. I just had to share with you all my favorite line from that email..... "We all child-proof our homes, yet they still manage to get in somehow!" Yes, I did the awful snort/laugh thing OUT LOUD right in the middle of class. Not many other moms in the class, I guess...

Owie!

I worked today. I haven't worked for a few months. I worked for nearly 12 hours. That was 12 nonstop, on-my-feet hours. I got to work this morning at 4:00. A.M. Very, very a.m. I boxed about 2,500 pies. It was fun. It was busy. It was crazy. It was exausting. My feet and back ache to the point of pounding. I think I'll go lay on the floor for a while...

Hockey Day

I took Cameron to his very first ever hockey game. It was way fun. We got to the Honda Center a few minutes before they opened the doors. We got to go right down to the ice. We got to go stand over where the Ducks come out of the locker room. Cameron got to fist pound several of the players. He got to see Chris Kunitz right up close. He bought an orange puck. He ate popcorn, hot dogs and ice cream. I think it was his best day ever.

I'm Back!

My computer was being stupid. It decided that I didn't have any high speed internet connection. I was unable to get online for about a week or so. It was a pain. I don't know if it was dumb Vista, dumb Charter, or dumb Sarah. Whatever it was, it fixed itself. I've missed you all so very much!! I have SO much to tell you all!
