I am so lazy

And I have nothing to blame it on. I am literally laying in bed typing this on my iPad, when my computer is one roll out of bed away. Seriously. Anyways, three things I must accomplish before Cali. 1. Get bikini wax. Yes, I have those pesky hairs ripped from my body. 2. Get pedicure, so my feets look nice whilst walking around in the sun. 3. Go see dentist. The pain is only going to get worse. I just came up with a reason for my slacking behavior...reading. I am now practically finished with the second Hunger Games book and halfway through Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I am reading two at a time...a girl needs options, right?

ruf easter sunday

if you keep up with this blog, then you know that we are going to be in the car heading to Cali on the real Easter Sunday soooo....

 Tessa had been crying and Brenton was sick of taking pictures

the Easter bunny brought them a surprising amount of stuff that can be used for the trip to Cali.
PS. thanks Brett, you are the only one who noticed.

debuting the new "do"

1. yes it is short (really short in the back)
2. yes i like it
3. no i wasn't scared
4. my hairstylist loves me for being daring
5. it's amazing what 3 guys standing around your new hairdo, saying over and over how amazing and great the super short hair looks on me (one of them being the creative director/owner of the salon) can do WONDERS FOR A GIRL!

family portrait

by etssa. ok, she can't spell her name but, look at how well she writes! oh, and draws pictures of her family members too.

Two things

1. I just finished the hunger games. I am now one of those dorks super excited for the movie. I really really am. Brenton is also excited because now, he gets to start reading.
2. I have a zit so big, on the side of my cin/lip, it deserves a name! And it hurts like a mother too.
3. Yes, I added a third because it's my blog and I can. We are leaving for SoCal early morning on April 8th. Have you put that together yet? Take a minute. There you go...it's blooming Easter that day. Soooo, the Easter bunny is visiting our house earlier. That Easter bunny needs to make sure everything is ready for the "ruf family Easter".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BRO! You are and always will be my favorite brother ever! I love you!

you guys, seriously

check these links out, or don't. i don't really care. you can do whatever you want.

for the love of read this for laughter

beauty in photography if i could buy number 21, i so totally would...actually (inside metcalf family joke).

end on a good note

and it doesn't get much better than that.

Wishing on the sun too

I am wishing for health.
I am wishing on the moon.
I am wishing on the stars.
I am wishing on the sun.
I am also praying as hard as a non active Mormon can.
This is all I am praying and wishing for since health has seemed to elude us (I am including my immediate family too) since November.
There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel...right?!
Tessa has had a stomachache all day and night.
BLURGH!
Now my stomach hurts but, it could be from stress or the flu.

20+ times

that is how many times kylee puked the other night. my poor baby girl. and then brenton made himself puke from hearing kylee. my husband is a total trooper (he made sure i went to sleep). love him more than sin (a saying my mom uses).

late nights

so have you guys heard of the book called The Hunger Games? i just started reading it and can't seem to put it down. Brenton had made a deal with me...he gets to read it when i am done, so everyday he asks me what chapter am i on? he is actually reading one of his own "brand spanking new" books and is competing with me on the "chapters" and who is quicker. he is. always. the boy loves to read. i love that he loves to read. anyways, i am so enthralled that i think i may finish it before we go see the movie. for those of you following "my story", my labs all came back normal. so now i can't blame whatever lab work tests call for, for my "crazy". it truly is the chemicals in my brain...or something. medication is seeming to balance it out for me. it is now almost midnight and my eyes are droopy from reading. i have to get one more chapter in...

it was huge

having your tooth extracted gets you $5 from the tooth fairy and you get to keep your tooth for show and tell (and a jamba juice with mom).

Until next week

I am taking a break this week.
Therapy appts, labwork, entertain the four year old, haircuts, taking the eldest to have his tooth pulled. It's the last one I worry the most about. Send out positive vibes for him on Wednesday, he's going to need it. Although, he has found a positive in this, he figures that a pulled tooth is worth more than a regular loose tooth. I agree with him!
