making a decision

to exclude “negative” influences in my life (both in real life and online…i.e.facebook)

If I want to be stabbed in the back, I will mount a knife to a door and back into it myself.  I certainly don’t need so-called “friends” lining up to do it.

So I have “blocked” negative influences and I feel better about it.  Several of them know about my blog and if they decide that it is still any of their business to read this, that is on them.  If they are that desperate for rumor fodder….I will just pray for them.  I live in a small town and there is no real practical way to escape from all the small town “bitty hens”.

Sorry, I did not intend for this post to come across as being so negative…..

I must be in one of my moods……

Time

Time seems to be flying by so quickly.  I feel like I am just going in circles all day everyday. 

The kids are growing and changing so fast.  Yesterday, Daniel decided to pour an entire box of Cheerios on the living room floor.  Yeah!  The dogs loved it!  I, however was not as impressed with his trick or the 5 poopy diapers he produced yesterday. 

And then, at nap time…. Melissa strips totally nude, Daniel strips from the waist down, and the both discard everything from their cribs.  I guess they needed more space to dance and jump around. 

And this morning, they woke up at 4:30 am.  It is an ungodly hour, even for them.  Sure, I could blame the hubby for making too much noise in the bathroom, or blame the new teeth attempting to press through my children’s upper and lower jaws, but I think they got up because they could….and they wanted to…willful little monsters!!!! 

I am sick with a cold so automatically, I am miserable.   I am stressing out due to situations beyond my control.  I am sleep deprived.  I am a mommy to toddlers!

Shhhh……can you keep a secret?

Don’t tell the hubby, but I bought a new phone today.

I got an LG enV.  It’s used, but in great condition.

I found it on zendoo.com.

Oh…and I bought myself a little treat from Great Cakes Soap Works.  It is the new Skin Glow Moisturizer that I was lucky enough to help test a few weeks back.  This stuff is THE BEST.  Better than my old love, Philosophy Hope In A Jar.  Stop over at Amy’s place and check it out if you get a chance.

I managed to get my running around done and now am just waiting for the hubs to get home so I can go to the gym.  It was pouring rain this morning while I was loading the kids in the cart at Wally Mart.  melissa thought it was funny.  Daniel….not so much…..

But we made it.

Anybody have any idea how to build an ark?  We might need it before too long.

ER Finale and other stuff…

The ER wrap up show that they did nearly had me in tears.  I swear that up until this last season, I have seen every single episode.  It was just to stinkin’ hard to stay awake with my children’s (lack of) sleep habits.   I still watch the reruns every day on TNT.  I thought it was well produced but I was very disappointed that they didn’t get feedback or interview some of the original characters….your know…nurses…..(nurses are NEVER appreciated in real life so why should it be different on TV?) that had been on the show since the very beginning.

Like Helene, I was glad that they humanized Dr. Benton.  Although, to me, Eriq LaSalle isn’t aging well.  He looked “sick” to me.

I was also kind of sad that Dr. Carter really didn’t get any closure with his wife.  She seemed really heavily on the bitchy side.  I can understand that she still feels the loss of their son, but at some point, you have to not let that define who you are otherwise you will live your life only consumed by grief.

 

I will miss the show.  But the teaser that they showed for Southlandlooked great.  Looks like a series I could get into.  I like cop showsin general and my hubby will tell you that I am a Law and Order, CSI, and Cops JUNKIE!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

As far as the buggy pasta goes…..

I did call and the company stated that the infestation is in the distribution center and the pasta must have been improperly stored.  Of course, the thought that these little buggers are now reproducing in my cupboards really gets my skin crawling.  Thank goodness that everything else in that particular cupboard are all canned goods.

And they are sending me coupons…..not sure that I will use them.  Fool me once, shame on you, fool me you won’t get fooled again.  Sorry….had to throw that in….
