I did clean the carpet. Wow. Nasty. It amazes me every time how dirty that carpet gets. Grody, grossness. If we stay- no more carpet. All hard floor. Now I need to dust (with pledge, not the easy way with the swiffer) and clean the bathrooms and kitchen. Mop floors. Wash sheets. I'll do this over the course of the next 3 days. Then the house will be PERFECT while we are gone for all the lookie

Oh, I finally did it. I got the red highlights. I have been threatening for awhile now. I got the best haircut ever, too. No seriously- I never spend any money on my hair. So I spent a little this time. What, praytell, have I been holding back for? *shaking head, and rolling eyes*I feel like a new woman. I told the awesome lady who did my hair (she's actually a neighbor that has her own salon)

I am going to just say it out loud. I fear for our country's future. I have major disdain for Obama and that guy has NO record of ever doing anything except for talking a good game. What everyone sees in him is way beyond me.I think McCain is unstable and he picks a woman (that's not a problem) with 5 kids with a soap opera of her own. I don't even see how she would be able to focus on her duties

Just went and had a look at a blog I like to check every now and then. She posted this bit about wordle. Pretty cool. Here's my wordle for the 5 or so posts I've ever done.

I'm totally regretting that power class. I can barely move my legs. If someone just looks at them they hurt. :/Why do I think that every time I go grocery shopping by some mysterious power, my son will behave like a normal human being? Why? I think I subconsciously enjoy the torture. I never give in, why does he think I will?Now, onto today's rant:Do I have some invisible sign that lights up to

Hadn't done power class in FOREVER, so decided to go this am with the neighbor.My legs were shaking 20 minutes into class. Not good. Got home and was completely exhausted. Seriously. Took a look at the weather and saw that rain was threatened this weekend. I don't cut the grass. I hate to cut the grass. It was looking bad. Hubby wouldn't get to until next week. So what did I do? I cut the grass.

We use a bit unconventional method for handling tantrums. We call it the 'choke-hold' also known as the 'will breaker'. It's a bit of a wrestling move and you win. Every time. Because you do not let go until they break. Their will, that is.It's a great workout for you arms. Trust.So, will breaker count for today: 2Want to know more on the will breaker?

I read somewhere a few places that vinegar was great for killing the weeds. I was looking for a solution to the clover problem. I like to hand-pick most of my weeds, but clover really likes to stay put. In the ground. Roots and stuff. So it can grow more clover. To make you insanely crazy.I thought I would test this theory. IT WORKS!!!! It works really well! TOO WELL. It kills EVERYTHING it

God bless the small and inquisitive 4 yr-old minds. I feel ill-equipped to answer questions creatively. Being frank and honest usually ends up biting me in the butt.Let's see how today's question of the day will end up regretfully answered.I'm sitting on toilet taking care of business. (we are a pretty open family here, OBVIOUSLY)Son: What's that blood??Me: Ummmm...Son: Is that from working out?

We are officially waterlogged around here. Today is the first day in 4 days that I didn't open the blinds to see it raining. If we had a dug a large hole in the back yard we could have had our own pool by now. I think we are finally on the tail end of it! Hooray!It was good for the church's newly planted landscaping, however...Last night we had a FABULOUS dinner with our neighbors. Curried

The rain has subsided for now. Scratch that- it just started up again... Still supposed to see it for the next few days.Went to the extension office to get information on vegetable gardening. My mouth drools at the thought of home grown vegetation. We do have a slight problem though... my thumb is BLACK. So, we'll see if the gardening ever becomes a success story.I put an old dishwashing

Dibble dibble dopDibble dibble dop dopIt's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...Fay has sent us a little weather. We needed the rain. It rains. It stops. The sun comes out for a bit. Repeat, two times and then just omit the sun part. It's nighttime now.The Olympics are over. I didn't watch one second of the closing ceremonies. No interest. I loved the events, just wasn't interested in
