One day, a long, long, long time ago, there lived a woman who did not nag, whine or gripe (that would be ME)
But that was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.
The end

What are you?
Are you an over or an under?
Type it in on Google, you'll be amazed at the results too. One good hint: a toddler (or cat) will be better off with under, but I just can't change it!

Orange you glad!
Just a few random pictures, because I like my HO
ME
I paid $2.00 at Marshall's for that!
I just like the colors on these...and this is a cry for help: anyone has other recipies with lemons? There is only so much lemonade you can drink. I've made lemon bars and lemon cakes...what else???
This would be in the "can you guess what this is" category...if you hadn't see the picture above. Kinda cool though. Well, here is my journaling point for today, signing off :))))

Little Project
Do you remember my contest at Kirkland. Well, here is what I bought with my $200. I love it, it's a trunk on the top and drawers on the bottom. It's getting filled up with all my kids pictures, cards ans such.
I had to move the vacuum out of the way and the laundry baskets to take the pictures!
I got that frame thingy at Kirkland's too...and I had to make the bed before the picture too!
And this is my last project (no, not reading on the pot, that's Reed's project). I redid my flooring in my master bathroom. We had the horrible Linoleum, yuck.
Heavenly toilet area,
I did it all by myself, no help besides Nicky's once in a while. It's the sticky vinyl type of fake wood, you'd never know, I bet you couldn't tell it wasn't real wood!

Wellness Challenge 2010
I signed up for a Wellness Challenge online. I have to do 10 things/day to earn 10 points/day. There are 56 of us, each paid $10...and the winner wins most of it!!!
So here is the challenge, in case you feel inspired to join me or pity me! I started on Monday, and as of now, Wednesday, I haven't lost a point...yet!
1-No sweets, no crap food, fast foods, sugared cereal . I'm doing the point system from Weight Watchers right now,(since Pere Noel brought me 5lbs this season, thanks a lot!), so that makes it okay...although you can eat whatever you want on WW, it's just that one cookie will be like 3 points and here, it's a no no.
2-No soda. I'm not an addict, I like Dr Pepper, but I'm okay. I do get one free point in each category each week, so I can have my DP on my date night.
3- 2 servings of Veggie and Fruits. Now there is a good thing, amazing how hard it can be at times though! Good thing I like soup and that my lemon and orange trees are feeding me!
4-45 min of exercise. Hello P90X!!! I am so sore, good thing is, with P90X, you work something different everyday, so the soreness will never be general, but always to a specific area (like my chest right now...will it lift 'em back to my 20's look???...boobs I'm talking about) or bad thing, you will always have something that hurts!!!!
5-48 oz of water. Do you know how much that makes me pee!!!!! Hold on, gotta take a break...
6- Journaling...or blogging for today. I do like that, so it's okay.
7- 15 min of spiritual reading. Can't go wrong with that.
8- No food after 8:00 pm....so no sneaking just a little crumb of lemon bars right before bed, nope, not me!
9- Giving appreciation to someone. So if you get a random email from me telling you how great you are and how much I appreciate you in my life...thanks for the point!
10-Work on weekly project. That can be tough, there is always so much to do, but not always so much energy for it. So far, I've finished the bathroom floors (pictures to come) and reorganized my coupons.
So there you have it: I'm a water-logged-appreciative-organized-spiritually-fit-healthy-blogger to be! Challenge ends end of April. If you see me passed out on the side of the road from a 45 minute jog, just give me a carrot, a banana and some water and let me thank you...that'll give me 4 extra points! Now off to caulking the bathroom floor!!!!

Oh the things that we hear!
When I was younger, I always wanted a house full of kids and noise...no, not really, I was a typical kid and never knew what I wanted, but it sounded so good to write that down. Which brings me to my reflection of the day: sounds! Reed and I were downstairs the other day and we heard a monkey upstairs, followed by a growl. (Imaginex Jungle, by Fisher Price). Often, we sit at night, long after the kiddos have gone to bed and hear either a "ring ring" or a "bumpee bumpee" coming out of the toy closet (Fisher Price battling Mattel). We've been awakened at night by the sound of a magical castle at 3:00 am, brrrinnnng! These are the sounds that make up my house, some are kid activated, some are just possessed and go on their own. My house is not very full of laughter (and I don't know who came up with that expression anyway, as if kids laughed all day when mom's around, giving them orders and chores, not funny at all to them), but it's full alright, : it's full of toys!!!! I know that no scientist would ever believe me, but I think that toys can reproduce, there is no other explanation. They keep invading my house! Father Christmas didn't help the situation, but I'm a frequent giver at Goodwill too! And they can definitely walk on their own because they always end up in the middle of the floor and Mrs"it's not mine" didn't put them there, she swears! Sometimes, very rarely though, they are a bit vicious too. If you think you can get away by just throwing Barbie's clothes out of the way, think again! You see, those high heel boots that Barbie sports (and how we often wish we could find the same pair for our own people feet, without the slit in the back and not in plastic, or course), when you threw them out of the way, they landed upside down, with the heels up. So when you, affectionate mother of the year, go to tuck in your precious wee-one one last time before bed, those boots are waiting to repay you and your bare vulnerable footsies!!!!
I'm telling you: if they can turn themselves on during the night, then they can reproduce and invade us...maybe it's their mating calls we hear???

Time for a cut!
Not much for him, he's still my baby, so I refuse to cut very much. But he's just so freaking cute I had to post a picture of him again, Mr Blue Eyes in person!
