Random Friday

So I know I shouldn't joke, but if someone wanted to offer Jenaka a safe, warm, loving, highly patient home where I can come and visit her for the next year I would be so appreciative! I will take her back when she is 5 1/2. The girl is killing me, trying every ounce of patience I never had! I remember Ryan pulling this same stuff about a year ago, but not quite as bad. Late 4 to early 5 years old is quickly becoming my least favorite age of children! I won't go into detail, I'm sure you can imagine. Oh how I love her and ohhh how she tests me! I am failing the test by the way.

Barry is home today, always a good day when your husband is home with you.

Haven't started my talk yet, not even sure what it's suppose to be on. I'm sure Barry will write his the night before, talk for 20 minutes and not think a thing of it. Grrrrr.

I little bit of Sara for you.
She will not go to sleep anymore unless we mummify her. I call it her sleeping cocoon. I have to take her pants and socks off or she sweats to death! Also, whenever I start to wrap her up, she giggles like crazy. It is the funniest thing, and then goes right to sleep. When she wakes up she makes little yelps every minute or so like, 'help I can't get out!'


Granny couldn't resist, her first Piggy Tails!
She is starving here so she is not very pleased I'm taking her picture instead of feeding her.
She sort of looks like the Shrek Baby.

Ryan can finally 'Heeley'. He is So Proud! Now he is talking about a jump he's going to make this summer for his Heeley's, errr not.

Weber County Sheriff's Office has been doing a Background check on Barry. He applied for a job there. Apparently they've tracked down every long lost acquaintance, relative and little known neighbors and given them the 5th degree about Barry. Looks like he may be moving up there, we'll see soon.

Blogger's spell check is not working! :)

Getting a nice tax return. Being boring and responsible with it. So here is a question for you, I'd sincerely love if people would respond. (I think all the people I know have 'fear of leaving a comment'.) If you were getting a nice little chunk of money what would you do with it? Not including any of the responsible things, no bill paying, no saving, no 401K or college funds.

Here is my embarrassingly selfish list of ways to spend the money:

  • I want my teeth whitened-actually I seriously need this, I have the yellowest teeth!
  • I want porcelain veneers on my front teeth. (wow, do you know how much those cost? Like $1000 per tooth. Ridiculous.)
  • I want a Tummy Tuck, rephrase that, I will have a Tummy Tuck when I'm sure we are done with kids. So it won't be this year. I want a normal Belly Button again, like the cute pierced one I used to have back when I 'thought' I was fat. Ryan asked me a while back, 'Mom, what happened to your belly button?' You, Ry, you happened to my belly button!
  • I would also like 'The Girls' lifted back where they originated! I know too much information for some of you! :) But unlike most women out there, I also want mine smaller too! If you want a real boob job, I'd be glad to donate some of mine!
  • I would also like Lasik for both Barry and I. How nice would it be to not have to put contacts in every morning. And not run into walls in the night when you are trying to get a bottle made! Ahhh luxury!
  • Go see Yankee Stadium and the Green Monster.
  • Go on a 2 week long cruise, get a massage every morning and do every possible activity available that would be too expensive after you paid for the cruise its self.

I could go on and on and on. I don't normally think I'm vain, but that list sounds a little vain doesn't it? Oh well, it's all true.

Had Activity Day's today. Made Babysitting Bags. I would never have one of these 11 year olds watch my kids. I have Babysitter issues. I don't know how any teacher's deal with 11 year olds all day. 6 of them at once for 1 hour every other week about does me in! I don't think I'm cut out to be Young Women's President! Not that I aspire to be it either.

I'm making a super cute quilt. Not sure who it's going to be for. I intended it to be for Melissa who is due in June. They aren't finding out what they are having. But it ended up being blue and brown. I think I would use it for a girl, not sure if someone else would though. Karen is having a boy in March, maybe she will get it. Mom and I have gone a little over board buying her stuff. I love boy stuff! Ashley is having a girl...or so the doctor says...I'm waiting till the ultrasound at 19 weeks, I'm a little skeptical. Anyway here's a preview-

I'd go with a Russian mail order. And if i couldn't find one that pleased me then i would buy a motorcycle. Or the other way around would work too.

Why do you have to approve your comments...honestly!

Oh no, you are telling me they get worse! SUCK!!! Big fat return - furnish my house - oh wait...I 'd get a house and then I would furnish it. If you are having a hard time thinking of someone to give the quilt to...give it to me!!!

You probably won't even read this because it has been awhile but if I was getting a big fat return I would put it into savings. I know you said that I couldn't say the boring stuff but I put it into savings until I found something I really wanted. On a non responsible note, I would probably travel. I feel less guilty if I travel with money I didn't plan on. I would tell you to go to Ireland. It is the most amazing place.
