Just a plain ol' list!

Secretly- I love me a list!


Music I'm rocking? Owl City
Food I'm living off of? Laughing Cow Spreadable Swiss Cheese. I love the herb and garlic flavor.
Shoes I'm wearing? none, just lately I am loving the sandals
Friends I miss? Shanna and Emily. We need another get together.
Boys that suck? hmm, that's a tricky one. I would have to say the boys in the white house! :)
Most Exciting find? Laughing Cow Cheese of course! I learned the difference between capris and peddle pushers and waders ect....
Exciting news? well, I don't really have any, which is kinda sad. But Brynlee was in her first track meet this week. That's actually really sad, it's not even my news!!
Lame News? I love Spring.
Job? the laundry
School? does my kids homework/getting them to school count? probably not, but I do love to do random internet searches that are purely educational. I quite often pick a topic and just learn about it.
Random Fact? Alexa eats dirt. And she likes it. And I don't really care.
Hair Color? the hair salon lady says I have 'perfect chestnut hair color, that's natural!' I call it dark brown :) (which I love. Sooo glad I'm not blonde! sorry blondies:)
Currant Activity? blogging of course, oh and a real activity, today was yard work.
Boys that are Confusing? my 18 month old son, Gavin
Biggest Problem? not enough money for my wish list, frustration that my list doesn't match Robert's list!
Simplest Problem? what dessert to make tonight.
Random Thought? I love to travel, I love to move. I am not quite sure how I lived 18 years in the same house. That's probably why I was so itchy to leave. hmmmm, I'm itching to go right now.....!

A Day in the Life of

Alexa with a little lipstick love going on.

I decided to document what a busy day in my life is. This is a typical Thursday for me. Thursday is one of my busiest days but long gone are the days of nothing to do. And completely forget about the days of nothing to do for days on end. Ahhhhh, I miss those days! :) oh, and I should mention that Alexa, Brock and Gavin are all my side kicks through out the day.

This is a busy Scout day. But really my life has been this busy for awhile now. It has it's both pro's and con's. On my slow days I still do 1 or 2 things, but it's better. This kind of Day happens about 2 times a month. The other Scout days aren't quite so bad. I would rather be busy and have legitimate things to do. I find the kids act better when they have constructive things to do with their time and so forth. To much down time causes bickering. But I also believe that being to busy is bad as well. It should be noted that the kids aren't the ones that are that busy. It's me wanting to see and be part of their life. I like them to be involved. I believe it helps cultivate alot in kids. And it teaches about their community as well, but I don't allow the kids to be into to many things at once. I think I'm busy because I have so many kids :) I'm not complaining. They really are a blessing!
