Holy Pens Batman!

Awhile back when my husband was working for the storage company, he came home with a garbage bag full of pens, literally! There had to be at least 1000 pens in that bag. Apparently, this company bought them special with their name on them and put them in storage and just forgot about them, so he brought them home!

Well, he put some in my dresser drawer (don't ask why, because even I don't know), and he kept some in the bag in the closet. We thought we'd have pens for life... or at least a pretty long time. Pens always disappear in this house so we just grabbed a new one every time we couldn't find the last one we were using.

It didn't take very long before all the pens.. even the ones in bag were completely gone. So, now it's like 6 months later and I am randomly finding these marketing pens all over my house and in the craziest places!

I found one in my tupperware cupboard and in my bathroom drawer. I think my tupperware lids are taking notes on how to get lost so that I have to buy all new ones.

So, how was your day?

Lots of Blabbering

Today is the first day that all of the kids are home on break. Thankfully, for my sanity, it's only for 11 days. Then not only do they go back, but I have one more starting his school career! Yes, that is right the little birdie is leaving the nest..for about 4 hours a day. Wooohooo!

Dan called a little earlier to say that he was given his permanent hire on package today. So he was filling that out. Pretty good news there, except I am a little bummed because I found out that the medical doesn't start until he's been full time for 90 days and for some reason I thought since we already filled out the papers for that like a month ago, it would be sooner. I am happy that we will have it at all though.

Remember, awhile back when I mentioned that I would be doing something to my hair but I wasn't going to say what until I actually did it? Well, I ordered the supplies the other day and my friend Suz will be coming down in a few weeks to do my hair! Just in time for our Reno trip too. Which reminds me, I really need to go clothes shopping before we go too.

Speaking of Suz, she was telling me the other day how a mutual friend of ours was checking out jobs in Atlanta. I am not sure if they are thinking about possibly moving there or what. That's a city I would love to visit though. it looks beautiful and I was checking it out online and there is so much to do there. I always think of Good Eats and Alton Brown whenever I hear anything about Georgia though. I love him!

Ok, now that just reminded me that it is lunchtime here so I better sign off before the kids start gnawing on each other's limbs.

Have a great day!

Crazy Busy!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe how crazy busy I have been the last few days and I'm not even done yet. I am so ready though, seriously. The kids had their last day of school today so it is officially summer. Thank goodness their summer break is only 10 days long.

I have my Reno trip to get ready for, my son is starting Kindergarten, I've been working really hard on a project for weeks and I am finally getting ready to release that. Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for that. Don't blink, you might miss it.

My husband is off work in an hour and I still have yet to make the house somewhat presentable when he walks in the door.

I am so ready to look into St. Thomas villa rentals and take off on a tropical getaway. Who needs Reno when you have St. Thomas?? Just kidding Suz, we'll go after we get back from Reno!

Where is the Calgon when you really need it?

Only In My Dreams...

Yep, it's that time again, time for one of my notorious blabber-on-at-random posts. Ok, well it's not entirely about nothing. The other day I was watching a marathon of Clean House. I love these home renovation shows, even though they always leave me feeling a little tiny bit envious.

For instance there was one episode, not sure which show it was from, Moving Up on TLC, I think, but they re-did one of the spaces into a little mini-me sized movie theater.

I would absolutely love my own private theater, especially if I had my very own popcorn machine complete with a pump of that oh so special movie popcorn butter that I love so much. And don't even get me started on the home theater chairs, the leather, the cup holders....ok now I am salivating.

I think this is something my husband would agree with me about, don't you?

Anyway, out of dreamland.. yesterday I spent the entire day with a massive migraine. It was so horrible. I had to have my mom take the kids and get me something over the counter specially for migraines although it only helped a little. I had Motrin in the house but I had exceeded the daily dosage and it wasn't working anyway.

I am alot better today though, thank goodness. I better go start making dinner before my little ones start gnawing on each others limbs.

Have a great day y'all!

I Need a Boost

I am really dragging behind today. I had a bit of a hard time getting to sleep last night. Probably because I drank an entire liter of diet coke between 4:30 and 5:30 pm. Dan thinks it's a better idea to buy the 1 liter bottles instead of the 20 oz bottles because "it's only 20 more cents". Well, yes he is technically correct however because it will go flat faster after opening I have to drink the entire thing.

I finally fell asleep around 12:30 this morning and was awakened at 2:30 am by my 5 year old crying at my door. Actually, I woke up because Dan heard the kid first. It turns out my (almost) 14 year old decided he was going to sneak out his window and go meet his new "friends" in the park. He snuck back in and got caught around 3 am.

Then Dan and I were wide awake and I was craving pickle chips. Don't even start with me, I am not pregnant! We've been getting sandwiches from a shop called Mr. Pickles and I love their pickle chips.

So now this morning I have a lot of things I have to get done and I have very little energy. I have to get the rest of Dan's clothes ready for the weekend, he's working away and he's leaving straight after work and I've also got housework to do, not to mention design work.

My mom used to take herbal energy pills but I don't have any of those, so I guess I'll just have to stick to my coffee. Maybe today I'll make it a double shot.

About to fall over..

Oh my goodness it is so hot here today. I just got back from picking up Braeden from school and since I have to walk it takes alot longer. I barely made it home, I felt like I was goingt o pass out the entire way. No doubt it's from not drinking enough water, (which I am at this very moment thank you!) and it being so hot.

I got home and checked the current temperature and it's only 95 degrees! Only?!? That's pretty darn hot but I could have sworn it was more like 103. Then my son.. and only my son would do this, he was wearing a sweatshirt! I think I was doing double duty in the sweat department.

So I am finally home, I've got the A/C going and we're all chugging as much water as we possibly can to cool off. Speaking of which, the ac in the truck has been acting wacky, my brother thinks that it sounds like it might be the ac compressor, but he'd need to take a look at it before we knew anything.

Anyway, i think I am going to really get cooled off and get the kids ready to go down to the pool.. it is just way too hot today not to go.

Have a good day and stay cool!

Only 1 month and 3 days until....

I am Reno bound! I swear you all are going to be tired of listening to me go on and on about this. Well, guess what? Too bad! Ha!

My friend Suz has gotten us some great travel deals for our trip, I am so excited! She signed up with several of the hotels player's clubs so she gets good rates on hotels and whatnot.

Did I mention she bought us all tiara's? Yes, we're dorks but we'll be dorks on vacation and that is ok with me! We are going go-karting, possibly for massages, I am designing myself a new tattoo just incase I am feeling adventerous! I doubt I will get it because it's turning out to be extremely complicated with the design and the colors, this could get really expensive but really would you expect anything less than that from me? I think not!

Anyway, I better get going. I have to pick up the kid from school pretty soon and I am still swamped with work!

Have a great day!
