my DREADED chores for Monday
to this...
Tessa makes this so very extremely hard for me. It is a race to see how fast i can get through all the cleaning and scrubbing before she gets into EVERYTHING (i have to put stuff on the floor while i clean the counters, and if i set down my cleaning supplies for a second she is off with them and the toothbrushes too). I DO NOT LIKE CLEANING THE BATHROOM FOR THOSE REASONS!
and my number two, i have my OB appt today. i just don't feel like putting forth the effort of going and then of having to tell him what meds i need and why. it's clear downtown and i wish i could just do this over the phone...but that is impossible, because...ya know.Friday, March 13, 2009
vitamin D is GOOD for ME

Colorful, springy flowers are starting to pop up in our "garden".
Let's just hope our friendly "giant" doesn't decide to squish them back where they came from.
Let's see what damage/help we can do with this...Thursday, March 12, 2009
when we're HELPING we're HAPPY
open the baking supply cupboard and empty it out. make sure you leave it open and everything hanging out. maybe even throw the chocolate chips in the garbage for good measure.
drag the can of cookie mix and shortening around the house and remind mom that she should be making cookies. maybe just maybe open up the shortening and stick your hand in there and give it a little taste...hmm let's put some in our hair and see what that does too.
leave the can of shortening and cookie mix right in the middle of where everyone walks so they can get some extra exercise by having to step over it.
go find out if someone left the door to the bathroom open. climb up onto the counter and throw as much stuff around as you can before someone catches you and locks you out and away from your BEAUTIFUL mess.
finally go pull down the dvd blockade and rip out as many dvd's as you can. phew, you did it all...and three other times at that. Wednesday, March 11, 2009

does that make me crazy
i have HAD IT with my dr's office. they can't get anything right and then they decide that they are not in the office today so they can't fix the problem. i get rx's for my menstrual cramps and i am due for a check up on monday but, i am starting this week so i asked for enough meds to get me through this week. i didn't even ask for both of the meds...just ONE!!! yesterday the nurse called me and said she called in my rx. i go pick it up, they charge me 10 dollars ( i figured i had like 8-10 pills in there). i get home, open it and find...2 pills. 2 BLOODY PILLS!!! WHAT THE FLIP AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH 2 PILLS??!! AND I LOST 10 DOLLARS OVER THIS!!! 2 pills will get me through 6 hours of the 3 days of extreme pain. so this morning i call and the receptionist informs me that my DR is not in today and there is nothing she can do for me. i soooo want to scream and yell and scream some more at her (after all i am PMSing real bad right now...REAL BAD). this is not a complicated case, i have been getting these meds for YEARS!! oh and i am also mad at the pharmacist who didn't say to me "are you aware that you are only getting 2 pills and you have to pay 10 dollars for them even though you normally get 30 pills for 20 dollars?". how hard is it for the pharmicist to tell me THIS?! needless to say i have a LOT of issues today and i feel like ripping out my hair.what kind of a dinky nurse (who should see my chart and know how many pills i normally get) would call in a rx for 2 BLINKIN PILLS?
i think i just need for this week to be done and over already.
i am done ranting and raving...goodbye and wish me luck...the dr's office is supposed to call me tomorrow, if they can figure out how to work the phone (uuuugh i am SO SARCASTICALLY ANGRY)

smile, because...
here is video of my cute baby girl dancing to coldplay. she takes a couple of rests to eat her cracker and at one point wants to go on her hands to lift her leg in the air (she loves to do that) but then realizes she has to let go of the cracker if she wants to do it. this is cute and sure to put a smile on your face for a cold yucky blahhhhh day in Utah. (uploading this stinking video onto blogger took me WAY TOO LONG to figure out...total frustration).
and congrats to Molly. she won the dvd guessing contest. i counted about 500 dvd's. i know, i would have thought i had more than that too. so mo let me know what wonderful deliciousness from the ruf kitchen you would enjoy most. have a happy dancing weekend.

breakfast for dinner
the pancake on the left is the size of pancakes i was pouring. the pancake on the right is the size my husband wanted. the pancake in the middle is what happens when your anxious husband tries to shake some of the mix out of the blender and the lid pops off. amazingly enough he was able to flip it without breaking it (now that takes talent).
this one would scream at you if you weren't constantly putting pancake into her open mouth.
brenton declared this to be his favorite dinner...ever. hmmm, i wonder if that has anything to do with the raspberry sauce and whip cream atop the pancakes.
kylee is showing me how much she loved the dinner (and she is just a goof ball in front of the camera). that coke in the picture is not hers...it's mine (don't worry we don't feed our children coke at dinner, we have told them when they are adults they can drink as much as they want...since walt and i are such wonderful examples in that area...hahahahaha).Wednesday, March 4, 2009

lesson learned
do NOT leave opened bag of chocolate chips where a one year old chocoholic can find it. especially while you are downstairs running on the treadmill and have no idea what is happening upstairs...while your almost 6 year old daughter justs sits there and laughs at the baby instead of telling you what is happening. REPEAT...DO NOT LEAVE CHOCOLATE OUT!!!
ps. i will be counting my dvds by the end of this week, sooooo if you haven't entered the contest yet i suggest you do so before it is toooooo late!!

monday...dark and dreary
when i see this, for some reason i just sense doom and gloom. there is no rhyme or reason to it...i just feel it. this then leads to anxiety issues...i start to think about what bad things are going to happen today because it looks so very sad outside (this is why i need to see my dr about getting my anxiety meds refilled). so all day today i have felt this way and i just can't think or rationalize my way out of it. i NEED THE SUNLIGHT.last night over at my parents house i was up in the kitchen with my sister molly. someone changed to the channel of the tv downstairs and all molly had to hear was a millisecond of the movie and she yells "who's watching LORD OF THE RINGS?". i looked at her and said "how do you know that?". she then said "if i got that right...then that is really sad". i looked at the tv and sure enough she was right...which can only mean, molly is really sad (you should do a post about your obsession mo).
this got me thinking about light and dark. the evil is always surrounded by the dark ominous clouds and when the good comes to fight there is always light with it. I LOVE THE LIGHT AND THE FEELING IT GIVES YOU. i love that light can ALWAYS overcome the darkness. i love these movies and how happy they make you when the good overcomes the evil.wishing on the moon







now let me go dad, i can do this by myself!!
practicing hanging on the bars...or making silly faces, whatever!





So, we decided to take a walk and...
pick up these
