Hmmm....

G1 is in Cub Scouts and this year for the annual Blue & Gold Banquet the theme is American ABC's so someone came up with the idea to have the boys request postcards from friends and family that live in other cities and states. The postcards will be used as decorations. We got this one from a friend of a family member. At first glance I thought... oh a cute furry animal... and then I took a closer look. Do you see what I see? Yeah, how could you not? When I showed G1 he got a confused look and said, you can see his weiner? When I showed G2 he just giggled.

Words of wisdom...

...for the new year.

Have a fine 2009!

May you find your inner Pollyanna

as you discover the secret to happiness!

Who knew there was a secret to happiness? I found this among my gomers. (endless piles & stacks of stuff that tend to take over my life) Can you guess my favorite on this list? I think it would have to be: ~Take time to be alone. I'm all about being alone. I'm alone right now and I'm loving it. But really I should find out where the boys are since they just got home from school and all is calm. They must be outside in the sac (cul-de-sac), I'd better go check!

$%#@!

Well my good intentions of not swearing in 2009

were history before noon on January 1st.

Ahhh, who am I kidding?

I should've known that one was pointless!

Wishing you a....

Due to lack of time and energy I decided to simplify things,
go digital and just e-mail my Christmas card/letter this year.
I wrote this poem to go along with it...

Almost a week before Christmas and all through our house
There’s nothing but chaos, I hope there’s no mouse!
 Too many things on my list of to do’s… 
I want to mail cards to each one of you’s 
But cards I have none, no time to create. 
I’d better hurry or else they’ll be late. 
I guess I’ll go green, Al Gore will be happy! 
They’ll be sent via e-mail… I know, it’s so sappy!
 It will save me the cost of one hundred plus stamps.
 And help me avoid extra financial cramps.
 I know it sounds cheap, but with this recession. 
Even the price of one stamp is a little depressing.
So just think of the forests of trees you are saving
As you read and enjoy this paperless greeting!

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

PEACE OUT!

I have been feeling sad. I'm a tard and have not been backing up my files and our external hard drive wigged. It's looking like I may have lost about a years worth of digital pictures. So don't be dumb like me...

BACK UP YOUR STUFF!

Sunday Comics...

I never read them anymore because I don't have too. My kids are funny enough on Sundays! Yesterday during church I had to take the little guy out for saying something very inappropriate. It was something I'd never heard him say before and now I'm wondering where he heard it. It was bad enough not to repeat. If you really need to know, you'll have to call me to find out! Anyway.... I took him out for a few minutes and made sure it wasn't a fun time for him or me. Not long after we were back in the meeting he said he wanted me to take him out. I told him no and he said, "well, I'm going to be naughty so you need to take me out". Nice try! When that didn't work he said more than once in a loud voice, "I need to take a dump".

Who knew?

A couple of weeks ago I found this "scrap" piece of paper in the kitchen and was about to throw it away when I decided I'd better ask the boys what it was first. Good thing I did! G2 had made this very special parking pass for Grandpa so he could park in the garage while he was visiting. He's one creative little dude! My favorite thing about it is the total randomness of it's shape.
