Absent

So my intention for this whole blogging business was to get some things off my mind, when they're there. However, as the title of my blog states, I'm a Mom & you know how that is. Stuff comes up, you don't have time, yadda, yadda, yadda! Since my last post I've had lots of things I wanted to say, unfortunately, I now forgot what they were. Life has been just a little up & down lately.

The girls & I took a trip to the Northwoods to visit the family, which resulted in, not much sleep, a trip to the emergency room & way too much eating! I am also one year older since my last post, but let me tell you nothing too exciting in the ways of celebration. Pat's step-Grandfather passed away, so there was a funeral, I was utterly exhausted from the lack of sleep the night before & was in bed by 7 o'clock. Wahoo-Happy Birthday Baby!

I've had some weird dreams, one that involved someone named Jemma, a murder, and another that involved a tornado, my parents & Hayden. Would go into more detail, but that's all I can remember at this time. Once again, read the title of the blog.

Life is really sucky right now. I need a new attitude, some exercise & a little bit more spunk! I'll work on it when I have time. But I have to make time if I want a change. But when you're butt-assed tired it's a little hard to wake up in good spirits & attempt to work on those rock hard abs! Only if the weather around here will finally turn to spring. That might help. At least I could go for a walk! Well here's my first step "Don't put off tomorrow, what you can do today." Ta Ta! Have a FAN-TAB-U-LOUS day everyone:)

Ants go marching?

I know it's officially spring, but seriously are there supposed to be ants? And in my laundry room at that?? Where are they coming from & why do they only seem to come out when I have dirty laundry on the floor? The ants go marching one by one, hoorah, hoorah! It was actually about 20 ants marching as I was picking up the clothes to put them in the washer. The heard of ants are coming this way, hoorah, hoorah! Not for long you little suckers...I'll get you! Toilet paper, proceed to squash ants & then flush down the toilet. The ants are all gone for now, hoorah, hoorah!

Crazy Dreams

Do you ever have those mornings where you wake up & are like what the hell was that? I've had a couple of those the last two mornings. Wednesday, I wake up & I know I had a strange dream & it's sitting right at the front of my brain trying to come out so I can remember it. I go downstairs open the fridge & then it comes back to me. You see we had a play date at my house on Tuesday (true, not the dream). And when everyone comes over they bring a snack to share. Well one of our friends brought over ants on a log, & left them at our house & are now in our fridge. Which leads me to my first weird dream. In my dream I'm hanging out with all my friends, we're eating, laughing & having a good ol' time, but I think we're in some strange forest area. One of the things we are eating are ants on a log. I'm commenting on how yummi & juicy the raisins are when everyone just kind of looks at me & snickers. They are not really raisins they say. It is actually the butt of some weird insect. WHAT? Are you kidding me, DISGUSTING. Needless to say, the ants on a log in the fridge, went in the garbage after I remembered that.

Then Thursday morning I woke up again, weird, huh, waking up in the morning? Anyway, the only part of the dream I can remember is that I was gagging & I kept pulling gobs & gobs of hair balls out of my mouth. GROSS! This has got to mean something. I really need to get a dream book. Or maybe it's the fact that my hair is actually starting to fall out. Anyway, I pray that tonight I dream about Keith Urban & how he falls madly in love with me!

Useless facts

My thirst for useless knowledge started with my employment at the YMCA. When working with a bunch of school-age children, you sometimes need to humor them. I never knew that all this knowledge would land me my future husband. Yes, I wooed Pat with all these amazing facts on our very first date. I look back on it now, I wonder why in the hell would I share this stupid information with a guy on the first date. Whatever, it worked & now were happily married, most of the time. But I seem to have forgotten what brought us together....useless facts, of course. So I thought I would get back to my roots & share with you all my thirst for these crazy & most times unbelievable facts. If you have a fact you would like to share with me, feel free...I might need it this time to just get me through my day:)

I Don't Recommend It!

So Saturday rolls around & I'm totally in the cleaning mood. Pat offers to take Bella out for a few hours so I can do what I gotta do. Nice! Even better, Hayden cooperates by taking a wonderful 2 hour nap! Yipee...2 hours of stress free cleaning! How lame am I? Excited about cleaning for 2 hours, I sure need a hobby! Anyway, I'm cleaning, listening to the 90's channel on cable, loving the smell of cleaning supplies wafting through the house & enjoying the fact that I have laundry in the washer & dryer already! On a roll, you bet!

I then have the brilliant idea to clean behind the refrigerator. I've been thinking about doing this for a long time. Well actually I think about it every time something falls between the fridge & the counter & I notice the large particles of food & other debris hanging out on the extremely large dust balls. This thought also crosses my mind when I attempt to pick up something from the floor located near the fridge & the counter & my hand is then attacked by the large dust balls that are harboring the food & debris.

So here goes...I move the fridge & Holy Mother of Mr. Clean, forgive me for I have sinned! It's been 3 years since I've cleaned behind here. Yes, that's right! I said it, I'm not proud, but it has been 3 years since I last cleaned behind my refrigerator & to those of you out there who may be in the same predicament as me...I do not recommend it! Wait until you move or your children are old enough & you can make them do it!

He's Just Not That Into You!

So back to the time of me growing up in a small town. My first love, we'll call him Thad (not his real name of course). I believe I fell in love with him in Kindergarten. During singing & learning my ABC's. Well I decided to put the moves on him at nap time, we had that back in the day. I briefly remember that occasionally some of the kids did not have to take a nap, so they got to sit at the tables & look at books. Well on this particular day, Thad got to sit at a table with his cousin Harry (not his real name either). I of course was stuck laying on my large blanket that had a puppy dog head attached to it, not a real one, but a large stuffed puppy dog head. Anyway, somehow I managed to weasel my way under the table where Thad & Harry were sitting & decided to pinch Thad's butt. Well, he obviously was not that into me because I remember him going to tell the teacher & me having to sleep on my dumb puppy dog blanket right next to the teacher's desk. Boys Suck!
