To Sum Up...

-I just got back from a very long and satisfying trip to Park City
-My kids are freakin’ out
-my house is very dusty, and a cleaning lady would be a dream come true
-I’m getting Lasik done at the end of December, and I can hardly wait
-I can’t stand wearing these glasses, I want to rip my own head off
-My brother just got a job in Arizona. Yeah, Caleb, poor me. Now I have to stop imagining that one person in my family might move back east.
-I have endless leaves in my yard and it makes me tired just looking at them
-I haven’t been able to work out in two weeks and I can’t wait to get to the gym
-I disappointed my husband, cause I didn’t really think it was worth the money to get a remote for my ipod. I wonder if I should have just said thank you, I love it! He was being nice and sweet
-Two of my sisters are pregnant.
-Kara’s blog talks about the frustrations of not being able to talk to her friends who have had difficulty getting pregnant about getting pregnant. I can relate. Being pregnant is one of the most wonderful and crappy things at the same time. There are blessings either way, if you ask me—whether you are as fertile as the Tennessee Valley, or if you are a rocky place where seed can find no purchase (or however the heck HI said it) If you want to know my views in depth about that, I’ll have to do a whole other blog, considering this is not a very good sum up already.
-My family is so fun
-I’m glad that there is moisture in the air in beautiful New England
-I feel stressed out, cause I am way behind with every facet of my life
-My littlest daughter just learned how to pick her nose and wipe it on my pants
-The scrapbook stores and craft stores in Utah really ARE a lot better than in New Hampshire.
-Maybe in a few more years I will be able to take a book on a 5 hour plane ride and actually be able to open it
-I am freezing and I’m going to go make a fire and start crossing things off my list

Somebody Stop Me!

Butterfinger breakfasts, lollipop lunches, snickers snacks and disappointed dinners. Hiding the unwrapping sound as I sneak yet another mini candy bar from my children’s trick or treating bags. Pounds and pounds of chocolate and absolutely no self control to stop my NEVER ENDING, INSATIABLE craving for chocolate! If there is a shortage of Kit Kats, Twix, Butterfingers or Snickers, it’s only because I have eaten them all.

These, my friends, are the dangers of Halloween. The kids getting run over by a car—well, you just put a glow stick on them. Solved. The treats being sabotaged by a psycho-killer—you just eat them yourself. Solved. See? I’m just being a good mother. My children are well protected. Thank goodness for mothers who are willing to eat pounds and pounds of candy for the sake of saving their children from those horrible …. Okay, who will come to my house and take away all this candy??? Please? Is anybody out there willing??? Can’t… Do…it….myself….
