And just in case you are wondering what that was all about, read about it here

I got nothin'

Nothing exciting to report.

All is perfectly normal hell is breaking loose at our home.

Tantrums afoot.

M was banished to the bedroom twice before 7:30 am today.

Me thinks today I will call upon the good mom that is deep down inside of me and let the kids get crafty and messy.

I also think some fresh air is in order.

Christmas tree is going up this weekend.

I'm doing shades of lime green and red this year.

I'm done with purple and gold.

See?

I got nothin'.

You still awake?

How about my latest creations.

Try to keep your eyes open from that boring post!

Thanks for stopping by.

And Happy Thanksgiving to all you peeps south of the border!

Just one of those days that a girl goes through.....

You know the ones.

When nothing comes out right.

The ones that make you cave....

Blah.

In an effort to de-funk I have a small list of things that made me grin today.

1.   The way M wished my neighbour "Good Morning!".
2.   The fact that my Nephew thought we needed a bigger TV.  FYI we have a  52 inch flat screen.
3.  Hubs who continually throughout the day kept cornering me. ;)
4.  J for his frequent smiles.
5. The fact that I just heard on the radio that Butterball has a 1-800 Turkey line  which opened today and operators will be available to take your turkey calls throughout the holiday season.

Seriously?

Here's to a good sleep and a better tomorrow.

Just in case you are worried....

I am alive.

YIPPEE for being alive!!

We had a slight computer malfunction in which our monitor blew up.

Okay....it was me.

I blew it up.

Well maybe I didn't BLOW it up, but it spazzed out and died.

At the click of a mouse....by me.

But it could have happened to anyone really.

And it will be here that I officially appologize to my Mother for thinking/implying that perhaps she unknowingly downloaded a virus.

Sorry Mom.

eh hem.

Apparently it is/was cheaper to buy a new one then get the old one fixed.

I'm pretty stoked about that because our old monitor was 3x3x3.

No shit.

7 years ago I don't even want to tell you what we paid for it but it was WAY too much.

We now have a sleek and slim new on that takes up no space on my desk.

It does however blind me.

Frickin thing is sooooo bright.

So just in case you were wondering,

Or worried,

Or thought I had ditched you,

I'm here.

I'm alive!

P.S.  What the hell did I do with my spare time before the internet?  That was the LONGEST 5 days EVER!!!!!!

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

And because I am so anal retentive, I now feel the need to sort them all alphabetically. 

Otherwise it will take me till 2015 to find the word I'm looking for.

I wonder if the words "f-ing idiot" are in there.

Scrap and Crap

Do you ever have those days when you just want to sleep the day away?  That was me today.  I had been up since 3:00am with crappy "Mommy Insomnia".  That always puts me in a crank and I have to try really hard to remain patient throughout the day.  I must confess I wasn't very good at it this morning.  A shower, fresh air, food, napping and some pretty paper usually puts me back on track.

I'm not usually a cute paper kind of gal but the mushrooms and squirrels made my heart happy.  A little layout about how I was feeling when J was just 7 day old.

Thanks for coming out!
