I'm surprised I still remember how to use Blogger

Sometimes when TheOldMan gets medical journals in the mail, I like to (try to) read them. He is a Clinical Laboratory Scientist. I was reading something about pharmacogenetics and realized after I couldn't get past the first paragraph, that I am happy that I'm not the smartest person in the house.
I grew up smart but didn't apply myself. I'm glad my kids have a parent who is smart and works hard to learn more and be his best.
I like it when he talks about lab stuff. I like to follow along for as long as possible.

Snickerdoodle has a good throwing arm. If he turns out to be good at sports, awesome. But I'm very glad he has a dad who is good at science. Hopefully, he'll be smart and good at sports. He'll be unstoppable ;) Plus he's cute.

That's all I have for now. Since I haven't blogged for awhile....Here you go

Park and Haircut Day

Freedom

Daddy's Little Helper

He kept saying "I push?"
It cracked us up

Joy

He can dance circles around you

This went on most of the afternoon.

Snickerdoodle video gems

I don't have anything to blog about so let's see how much I can ramble on about nothing

I miss Lindsay. She's in Uganda. I know God is using her and blessing her journey but I still miss her a lot.
I'm excited LOST comes back in 2 1/2 weeks.
We put away Christmas decorations but forgot the outside lights and wreath.
I'm excited that my new perfume is coming in the mail tomorrow. I'm gonna smell pretty.
I get to see my family and celebrate Christmas again this weekend.
How I Met Your Mother is showing reruns on Lifetime now on Monday nights. That means 3 episodes every Monday! That is really awesome. We didn't watch the first season so it's like watching new episodes! That show is great.
I'm tired of the cold.
I haven't been to a weight watcher meeting since before Thanksgiving. I babysit every Tuesday so I can't go and it bums me out and I need to eat better.
I'm going to have pulmonary function tests on Wednesday so I can't have caffeine tomorrow and that bums me out.
I need to put a sweater on but there is a child sleeping in my room so I will stay in here and complain about the cold on my blog.
If I had $5000, I would have much nicer furniture.
I am excited for everyone to open their Christmas presents. I did a good job buying this year.
I haven't bought anything for Hermano or BlueEyes yet.
I haven't had spaghetti in a long time. That's weird because I love spaghetti. Maybe we'll have that for dinner.
Probably not though. TheOldMan works his second job tonight and if I fed Snickerdoodle spaghetti alone, then I'd be the one stuck cleaning it up.
I can't think of anything else to ramble on about so I guess this is the end.

Nothin' Left For Me To Do But Dance

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas. I finally blogged.

Well posting a couple of pictures probably doesn't count as blogging but I really haven't been able to think of anything to blog about. I've started babysitting 13 month old twins so Praise God, we've got a little extra income. We have been blessed already so much this Holiday season and we're especially grateful to God for our family and our incredibly great kid. He is learning everyday and amazing us with his hilarious personality. He is so full of life and a wonderful little human being.
So if I don't blog again this week, Merry Christmas :)

This is the day that the Lord has made, I guess

This is the kind of day we've had



Snickerdoodle is cutting a molar and he's not taking it very well. He's been very distraught much of the day and prone to dramatic meltdowns. I gave in and let him have his pacifier and stuffed meerkat even though we usually just let him have them during naps and bedtime.
So I have a splitting headache and decided to send Snickerdoodle to bed an hour early. When TheOldMan gets home from job #2, we'll wake him up and give him a bath and some milk.
For now I'm going to sit and relax with my diet coke and boyscout kettle corn. Which, by the way, I've had atleast once a day for the last week. I'm hopelessly addicted.
That's all for now. I've got a lot of shows on Monday that need my undivided attention.

Oh by the way. Praise Jesus....I'm going to start babysitting in a few weeks. (Money yay!)

Again, with the nonblog

I still have nothing to blog about so here are some pictures.

what's happening

TheOldMan pointed out that despite the title of the last blog "why don't i ever blog anymore", I didn't really blog. I just posted a picture.
So here you go. I am not leading a very exciting life so I will just sum up what's up.
I've not been sleeping well. Bouts of insomnia are uncool.
I'm trying contacts again and getting some fancy new glasses. I'm going to have my tear ducts plugged because I have dry eyes. (Thanks mom!)
We rearranged the living room. My house needs cleaning fairies.
Speaking of the fancy new glasses, let me explain our medical spending situation.
TheOldMan has a benefits card that we use as a credit card for medical expenses (copays etc.)
It automatically comes out of his pay and is tax free and all that.
We accidentally used it improperly at the beginning of the year and they suspended us from using it until we paid them back. That just happened this week. So, we have a years worth of money to spend in a short amount of time. So we've made eye doctor appointments and may make some dentist appointments. We are going nuts on the medical care. It is a good thing TheOldMan is going to the eye doctor. His glasses (which he never wears) are round and big and ugly. Plus, the squinting at the tv is killing me. He's driving me nuts. So, I am going with him to make sure he gets nice glasses that he will wear. And since we have an slightly excessive amount of money to spend, I picked out some stupidly expensive frames for myself. He couldnt believe it when I told him how much they were. Needlesstosay, I will have no problem spending this money. If we don't spend it, we lose it forever so I don't feel bad about treating myself.
What else. Oh, Snickerdoodle is going to be a Frog Prince for Halloween. Gramma made his costume and it is adorable. Tomorrow night he's going trick or treating for the first time. He's going with his girlfriends who are dressing like princesses. It'll be supercute. I'll post lots of pictures. And YAY! I get to leave town this weekend. (This town is painfully dull so even if I have to sit in the car for hours, which I hate, it is better than sitting around here all weekend)
Well there is a blog. I am hungry now which is too bad because we have not shopped for groceries and I have no idea what to feed myself.
THE END

Smiles on Sunday

Haven't posted in a while. Not sure why. Haven't been busy.
Here are some pics.

Smiles on Sunday

Smiles on Sunday-Late Again

This is my dear dear friend Lindsay who is leaving to travel the world for Jesus FOR A YEAR. She's leaving in 5 days. I just wanted to put a picture with Snickerdoodle because I'm gonna miss her A LOT. Check out her blog, she still needs cash and lots o prayers.

Also, I thought I'd include a picture of Snickerdoodle's new do. All the curls are gone for now. We're hoping they grow back.

Smiles on Sunday

too early to blog

I have been up for a while and it is still an unholy hour.
I think Snickerdoodle may be cutting a molar or something. He's woken up whimpering several times the last 2 nights.
And once I'm awake, it takes a long time to go back to sleep :(

So why not get on the computer?! That'll help! no. no it won't but I'm doing it anyway.

Anyway, here's a picture of Snickerdoodle from yesterday evening. He was outside playing with his crazy uncle and aunt and our wonderful friend Linz. This picture cracked up TheOldMan and I because it shows a side of Snickerdoodle's personality that only we usually get to see. He's an ornery bugger and now I have photographic evidence.

I should try and go back to sleep now.
