Boston & Gus

Aren't these guys cute?











And just to let you know,we do NOT condone this type of lazy behavior around here.





This is completely unacceptable,nor do they sleep here often especially at night. They are dogs who sleep ON the ground like normal dogs should and who are totally unloved and not spoiled rotten or treated as a kid. Nope not them!

I'm just thankful my dogs don't get out the door and run loose around the neighborhood. As you can see though, they are clearly full of energy and ready to take on the streets at any moments notice. Do you know any one's dogs who love a night on the town? woof woof :P

A first!

because she......

lost this....

and now looks like this....

she whistled for the first time ever today!

Her brother & sis have been trying to teach her :)



A little glowstick fun.

dryer & flashlight revealed.

I get these feelings every so often that really put a pit in my stomach. It's like somethings off or somethings going to happen and the moment it,whatever it is,happens then the pit in my stomach goes away. It's not that it's anything dangerous or bad per say it's just I've never had the feeling about something good or exciting. I think it's God preparing me loud and clear? Craig's always given me a bad time like it's a lucky shot,but I think after this incident he's a believer.

So a few nights ago we were in the kitchen turning off the lights getting ready to head to our bedroom for bed. I had 'the feeling' and grabbed the flashlight out from under the sink. Craig laughed and asked why I was grabbing it. I told him I didn't know but that I think we may need it due to a power outage. He LAUGHED! No power outage happened that night or the next.

A couple days later, I bought some parts for my dryer and put the thing back together during the day but left the top lid off so when Craig got off work we could turn it on and see the drum rolling over the new pads to make sure the pads wouldn't fall off. Woohoo my dryer works again!! He struggled with putting the top surface back on and ended up having to take the back part,with all the buttons,off and as he did he leaned it back and the wires hit the metal (he forgot to unplug it after our test run) and a huge spark lit and knocked the power off.

power outage!!

The pit in my stomach disappeared an although it would have been very convenient to have the flashlight under the kitchen sink where it was in the first place,since the laundry room is roughly 3 ft from the kitchen,I knew where it was. Unfortunately I didn't have candles in place,so the dark trek down the hall to my bedroom into the pitch black bathroom trying to remember where I put it wasn't fun. By the time I got back to the kitchen Craig found the breaker box in the laundry room and turned it back on.

The important part of the story is that he no longer calls me crazy and embraces my 'odd feelings'. Ha! :)

What would you call 'the feeling's I get?

Welcome!

You have arrived!

Thanks for coming on over. I'd like to say what your about to read from here on out on my blog will be profound, awesome & encouraging literature but...well..that's just gonna happen. I type whats going on or what I'm thinking and however it comes out.. is what it is. I would also love to admit that I spend hours upon hours rough drafting and finalizing my blog posts to make them perfect but as a homeschooling stay at home mom to 3 kids who also babysits on the side and keeps her house somewhat clean and kept along with running errands among many other things a mom and wife does... whew...I just don't have the time. I'm not a professional blogger nor do I strive to be. I'm just me. This is more for me to blog about the kids,things that happened,things on my mind, and things I don't want to forget.

(I think I just lost the last 3 blog followers I had left)

If you know me already this won't come as as shock to you,but for those of you who show up here along the way that don't? Let me tell you I'm kind of an open book- so ask away,a little on the sarcastic side- so please don't be offended, try and use my spell checker but there is no guarantees,talk a lot-so beware. I will show my sensitive side occationally don't worry,but if I do get overly emotional & touchy on ya,then you can probably bet that it's around you know what time of the month so go easy on the comments, I don't want my feelings to get hurt.

That is sarcasm right there yes ma'am.

So this is it. This is my new blog. I had another blog,but I explained in my last post on the old blog, I was starting a new one for no apparent reason and that I might venture to say that the sudden decision might have been born from my OCD tendencies about list making. What does that have to do with my blog you ask? Well, I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that I can't remember the first few items (or years in blog world) on my list (old blog) and I simply don't like the feeling. In list making terms, if my lists gets too long I simply divide the items and make two lists.

I'm just ready to start fresh.

Twisted in the head I know...hopefully you'll just bare with me and see past my insane thoughts and swipe it under the rug or perhaps we should talk about it?

I guess I should have titled this first post 'disclaimer' or 'beware' or even 'turn around and run away fast', instead of 'welcome'. Schucks,I really hope I didn't scare you off. I'm a nice person. Really I am.

Help me out here. Anyone?

just, jump in anytime you want. Anyone? hello?

I'll wait. It's all good.

*What does a flashlight and a dryer have in common? New post coming soon!
